Time for part seven. Thank you so much for the ideas. This chapter is a little short, but it's a good one. Be warned though, this was made late at night and when I write things late at night, I get crazy! -Randall Flagg2
It was a time of rejoicing for the bebop. Ever since they had turned in Lance Argyle to the authorities, they had been celebrating their large reward. It would definitely provide for them for awhile. There was only one question now. What could they do with all the money now that they had it? That was what they were debating at this very moment.
"I vote we use it to repair the ship. It needs a paint job and some of its parts are missing." said Jet.
"No I disagree. We should use it to repair the smaller ships. My swordfish II and your hammerhead need some work."
"Well Spike, you don't own the main ship and I say we repair that first!" Jet argued. They continued going back and forth for some time until Ed and Faye wondered into the room.
"Uh, Jet person? Ed thinks-"
"Quiet! This doesn't concern you!" Jet scolded.
"Um, daddy? Can we just ask you something?" Faye pleaded.
"Alright fine. What do you want?"
"Why don't we go shopping for food? We need food!" Faye stated. That caught Spike and Jet's attention. They had entirely forgotten about the food in the ship and now they remembered they were in desperate need of food and drink.
"You know, I think you really have something going there Faye. What do you think Spike?"
Spike smiled lazily. "I think it's a good idea. We could use some food. I say we hit the super market!" he exclaimed. And that settled it. Their next destination was the market on Mars. After an hour or so, they had arrived on the red planet and were ready to shop.
"Now I don't want you causing any trouble, you hear me?" Jet said sternly to the two girls as they stepped into the supermarket.
"No daddy we won't." Faye said innocently. Ed only smiled. Ed went with Spike and Faye with Jet.
Jet went down the seafood isle, looking over the various fish that were on display. There was so much to choose from that he was having trouble deciding. Should he get the sushi, the trout, or both? Or maybe a lobster?
"Faye what kind of fish do you think we should-" And that was all Jet got out before he heard a splash. He turned around and almost screamed at the sight before him. "This is not happening." Jet thought. "This is not happening."
Faye Valentine, brat that she was, had apparently decided that she wanted to go swimming. Even more, she had decided to swim in the lobster tank. Jet reached into the tank to fish Faye out, but he failed to notice the puddle of water on the floor. Jet slipped on it and fell face first into the lobster tank. Instead of coming out with the yellow clothed brat, he came out with lobsters all over his face and body.
"AAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!" Jet howled in pain and fell onto the ground, rolling around as he tried to pry the lobsters off. All the while, people stared at him, wondering what in the name of God he was doing.
"Mommy? Why is that man screaming and rolling around with lobsters on his body?" A little boy asked.
"No honey, don't pay any attention to him." the mother said and turned her son away.
Jet finally managed to get the lobsters off of him. Growling deeply in the recesses of his throat, the former black dog of the ISSP got to his feet and grabbed Faye up by the seat of her pants.
"Let go of me! I promise I'll be good!" Faye whined.
Jet only continued to glare darkly at her. "Normally Faye, I'm against spanking but this time I'm going to-" And that was all he got out before an angry yell echoed from down the isle.
Further down the isle, Spike was having similar problems with a rambunctious young hacker. Ed had stumbled upon the pastry isle and had decided to see what was in the cream and filled doughnuts. The girl was giggling and squeezing every one of them as she opened the doors guarding the delicious treats.
Spike advanced on Ed. "Ed you stop this or I'll-" And then Ed whirled around and let out a vicious snarl. Not used to seeing Ed mad, Spike backed away and ended up tripping over his own feet. Spike fell onto his back and to add insult to injury the back of his head landed in a puddle of jelly and cream. Ed laughed even louder.
"Spike person fell down!" Ed crowed. She then resumed squeezing the cream filled doughnuts, spilling out their contents all over the ground. Spike jumped to his feet and grabbed Ed by the collar of her shirt and shook her like an angry child would shake a ragdoll.
"What the heck are you doing?!!! Can't you ever behave?!!" Spike roared. Ed's eyes began to well up with tears. Spike immediately let go of her. She wouldn't dare do that here! "No wait. I'm sorry okay? I didn't mean to-"
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! !!!" It was too late. Ed began to wail hysterically. And did she attract attention? Did she ever. Spike put a hand over Ed's mouth to muffle the noise, but then she bit him and he let go. Ed resumed her infernal noise. As Spike contemplated over what he should do, a very large man approached Spike.
"Hey buddy." Said a deep voice. Spike turned around to face a man who looked to be in the two hundred fifty to three hundred pound range and it wasn't in terms of fat. The man was extremely muscular, almost enough to make Jet look small by comparison, and he topped Spike in height by three feet. Spike felt a wave of terror come over him. This man could easily break him in half.
"Uh... can I help you with something?" Spike asked nervously.
"Did you hurt this girl?" the man asked. Before Spike could answer, Ed spoke.
"He did! Spike person hurt Edward badly!" Ed bawled. Spike could not bring himself to speak, he was so shocked that Ed would lie like this. A rough, calloused hand descended on his shoulder.
"I really hate pieces of shit like you who hit their kids. Let's see how you like being hit." the man growled, and before Spike could move the giant's fist collided with his face. Spike screamed in pain and threw a punch at his adversary, only to jerk away in pain when his fist connected with what felt like a brick wall instead of human skin. The man grabbed Spike up by his collar and turned to Ed.
"You're going to be alright kid. Leave him to me." Ed smiled and sat down on the floor to watch the spectacle unfold. Spike's shrieks of pain and the loud thud of the giant's fists resounded in the market hallways. Nobody bothered to help, because after Jet's accident with the lobsters and Ed's adventure with the doughnuts, they had decided that they had had enough weirdness for one day.
After the beating was done, Spike got to his feet as carefully as he could. He felt as if a car had run over him. He glared up at Ed who was just giggling at him and sitting in a puddle of doughnut cream and jelly. He didn't care what happened this time. He only knew one thing as of this moment. When he got home, Ed was not going to sit down for a week, regardless of what anybody thought.
"Spike person got what Spike person deserved!" Ed giggled.
"Not as much as your going to get it!" Spike growled. Before he could do anything, Jet came around the corner dragging Faye behind him.
"I take it from your expression that things didn't go well for you either?" Spike asked.
"Nope. Faye decided she wanted to go swimming in the lobster tank!" Jet muttered. Faye pouted and wrenched free of Jet's grip. She and Ed ran off towards the cereal isle.
"Now what could they possibly want in the cereal isle?" Jet asked to nobody. Spike and Jet walked towards where the girls had gone and rounded the corner.
The sight before them was too much.
An entire row of cereals had been dumped on the floor, the boxes torn open crudely. Ed and Faye were still tearing open boxes and dumping the contents on the ground. And from the looks of it, they were not stopping until they had opened all the boxes.
"Where are the prizes?!" Faye whined as she opened a box of cereal. "I want a prize!"
"Ed wants prize too!" Ed replied. Spike and Jet's jaws dropped. Could anything else happen? Probably not.
"Your kids opened them, you guys bought them!" a voice said. Spike turned to face the store manager. It seemed something else could happen after all. Spike almost screamed in rage. This was not his idea of a shopping trip! Shopping trips were supposed to be quiet and painless, not loud and agonizing. Spike and Jet both forked over most of their money and left the store with Ed and Faye and only a few groceries.
Spike did not live up to his promise to whale on Ed's backside, but he did manage to send her to her room for the entire day. Faye went with her. So it was just another night of dealing with loud screaming and having to endure another paltry dinner.
Okay, so that's part seven. I told you this was churned out late at night! Hope you liked it! -Randall Flagg2
