Chapter 2:
Surprise

"Is she going to be alright?!" Shana asked the doctor impatiently. Jet was sitting down nervously and was also spacing off.

"She should be alright, but she cannot go home for awhile, she needs to rest here and we will make sure that nothing happens to her," the doctor said.

"Okay... Just make sure she is alright! I don't what I would do if I lost her!" Shana informed. The doctor nodded and then went into the room where Faye was. Nurses hooked up all the equipment needed in order for Faye to stay healthy for the time being. Her breathing was reported to be normal with no problems, but she was still passed out and that's what worried the doctors.

~~~~~~~~
The ambulance had come to the Bebop, and they were also able to make Faye breathe again. They informed Jet and Shana that Faye had a nervous breakdown. The breakdown was caused by a serious amount of stress and made her pass out while her lungs had stopped breathing for awhile. One of the ambulance men did CPR to Faye, she did not awake but she ended up starting to breathe again.

"Yo! Spike!" a man hollered.

"Yeah, Ryan?" Spike sighed. Spike was getting ready to go into his Swordfish II until the young man called him.

"You know that ship you were on once before? The Pebop?"

"Bebop," Spike corrected.

"Erm, yeah anyway. Apparently it still goes after bounty heads every once in awhile. I heard this boy, Radical Edward..."

"Teenage girl," Spike corrected again.

"Damn, you know everything. Well I heard that she could help you find and locate the Bebop," Ryan said.

"I know who Radical Edward is, she used to live on the Bebop with me, Jet, Faye, and the dog Ein. I have no idea where she could be though. Do you?" Spike asked. He jumped in the Swordfish's seat and looked down at Ryan.

".... All I've heard that she was in town. Is that good enough info?"

Spike lit a cigarette. "That's good enough." The zipcraft's top came down and then unlatched from the hangar. Spike waved and waited for the hangar's door to open. He took one more drag of his cig and then flew off. He was off to find Ed.
~~~~~~~~

"Ed is so bored" Edward yawned. She was outside on the streets looking around for some free food. "and Ed's hungry."

Ein barked as he followed Ed. "What's the matter, Ein?" Edward asked curiously. Ein looked behind him and sniffed a bit. Ed watched and followed Ein. "Did did Ein Ein find find food food?!" Ed asked. Ein barked and started running. Ed seemed surprised. "Ein!!! Wait!!!" she ran after Ein.

As soon as Ein had stopped, Ed couldn't believe her eyes. "Spike- person?!" Ein barked and panted happily.

"Yo. Ed, I need you to do me a favor," Spike informed.

"Yes-yes? What does Spike-person need?" she asked happily.

"Can you locate the Bebop for me? I kinda want to go back on the ship again." Spike asked.

"But Edward thought Spike-person was on the Bebop-Bebop the whole time! What happen to Spike?" she asked curiously.

"'Spike-person' ran into trouble with the Red Dragons again. I guess I died for a little, but some scientists put me to sleep for a couple of months and experimented on me. I guess you could call me a zombie for coming back to life when I'm supposed to be dead," Spike chuckled. Ed had a confused look on her face. Spike sighed when he looked at Ed. "Forget it, just help me."

"Ed would always help Spikey-dude!" she giggled as she got out her computer, Tomato. She put on her goggles and started to look for where the Bebop was. "Hmm... Bebop, Bebop, where are you?" she started to sing. Spike blinked a couple of times.

"How long is this going to take, Edward?" he grumbled impatiently.

"Hold your horsies, Spikey. Ed is doing what Ed can." Ed chanted.

Spike sighed. He took out another cigarette and lit it. "Just tell me when you find it, okay?" he asked.

"Yesh, yesh, Ed will tell," she said happily with a smile on her face. "Aha! Eureka! Ed found Bebop-Bebop!" she started to move on the ground happily. "Bebop ish located on Venus and is currently... from what Tomato says, away. Ed guesses there is no Faye and Jet on board at the moment... Ed would like to know what Jet and Faye are doing-doing." Ed sighed. She placed her computer on her head and stood up. "Will Spike- person take Edward back to the Bebop-Bebop?"

Spike blinked a couple of times. "Sure... I don't see why not. We may need your hacking skills." Spike winked. Ed smiled happily.

"Thankies Spikey!" Ed said as she hugged Spike tightly from the excitement. "I'm gonna see Faye-Faye again-again!" she chanted.

Spike smiled. He opened the top of his ship. "Well," he said as he hopped in. "Grab Ein and get in here!" Spike said. He felt a little nicer than usual to Ed today, maybe it was because she had helped him find the Bebop again.

"Aye aye captain Spike-o!" she saluted and then grabbed Ein. She jumped into the Swordfish.

"It's going to be a little more cramped in here. Don't move around too much, it may cause me to accidently run into something. We don't want to cause any accidents, right Edward?" Spike asked smugly.

"Righty!" she giggled. Spike shut the top of the Swordfish and then flew off.

"Hey Ed, how long will it take to get to Venus from Earth?" Spike asked.

"Hmm... Approximately two hours from now." Edward sighed. Spike grumbled.

Jet walked around and read an article that was hanging on the bulletin board by the hospital's desk. "A man rescued by being put to sleep for 3 months and then being experimented on for another month was released yesterday.... Hmm..." Jet said as he read the article out loud. "he was found on the stairs of a blown up building that belong to the gang called the 'Red Dragons.' Badly wounded, the ambulance rushed him to a hospital on Mars, and then they delivered him to Venus. Scientists from all over the universe participated in helping this man come back to life. The experiments were long and harsh, but it had paid off as the man who was dead came back to life. We wish Spike Spiegel a happy second life." Jet went wide-eyed for a moment. "SPIKE IS ALIVE?!" He paced around. "Will the Bebop be normal again? I don't know! Maybe he's on the Bebop waiting to surprise us now! I can't believe it!"

Shana went over to Jet to see what the commotion was all about. "No one has ever even told me Spike is... Can you PLEASE tell me?" Shana asked angerly.

Jet looked at Shana. "Spike used to be one of my comrades and apparently he came back to life! We should probably start heading to the Bebop now, okay? The doctors will take care of Faye so we can rest easy." Jet said.

Shana nodded. "sounds good." They walked out of the hospital. Jet got into the Hammerhead while Shana borrowed Faye's ship and took the Redtail. They both flew off, heading towards the Bebop.
