Chapter III: A "Family Outing"

The Bebop and the Outlaw Star have landed on Planet Gunsmoke....

"Well, we're here", said Jet. "Good 'ol Gunsmoke"

"I say we all get out of the ship today, including you Ed", said Faye. Of course when Faye said this didn't actually mean that they were all going out together. She only said this to shut Ed up.

"Really Faye-Faye?", Ed said in amazement.

Aboard the Outlaw Star in the ship's cargo room....

"Hey Malfina?", said Gene as he began to strap on his body vest.

"Yes Gene?", Said Malfina as she walked toward him.

"Have you completed the systems and weapons check?", said Gene as he stood up. He walked over to a shelf and picked up a box of caster shells.

"Yes, but there seem to be a a problem, ya see there's---",said Malfina as she interrupted.

"Malfina, You know i don't like i don't like problems. We ALWAYS seem to have problems.", Gene said sheepishly. Then as Malfina began to speak, Aiasha entered the room.

"Uh Gene, when are we gonna get tha money? I'm SO hungry!", Aiasha said while whining.

"SHUT UP AIASHA! Malfina was going to tell me something important.", Gene yelled.

"Nothing is more important than me!", Aiasha pouted.

"Actually, everything – including horse crap - is more important than you. Especially money!", Gene said with authority. Aiasha responded to this by storming out of the room in a mad rage.

"I wonder what got into her?", said Gene as he began to laugh hysterically.

"Anyways,", Malfina began to talk, "what I was trying to say was that i know that you know there are other people and groups of people out there that are trying to catch Vash. However, while Jim and I were searching for information on these so-called Bounty Hunters, we found a group that might pose a problem to us.

"Okay", Gene said as if he really didn't care and he REALLY

didn't. "Why are they a problem?"Just then Malfina pulled out a chart of the Bebop crew.

"Well, I know that they are as good as we are. They've bagged a lot of bounties and they have three good shots."Malfina said in the most informative way imaginable.

"Well whoopee! Ass-holes with guns I'm sooo scared.", Gene said sarcastically. Malfina started to laugh too but she was seriously disturbed by the fact that Gene wasn't aware of the potential of the Bebop crew and that there's another team out their that could get to vash be for they did.

Aboard the Bebop in the living area....

"Spike, you're not getting it, there's another group out there just as good as us, maybe even better.", Faye said in a very concerned manner. Spike was about to lite a cigarette, but before he could Faye slapped him which knocked the cigarette out of his mouth.

"Faye......,",Spike said very calmly, "YOU BETTER HAVE A DAMN GOOD REASON FOR THAT!! A DAMN GOOD ONE!
