CHAPTER 5: The night after today.
When one of them find the love of they're life and one of them didn't… Is this a forever friendship or a newborn strong feeling between the two? Or would someone's gonna hurt here?
Disclaimer: oh and so, here's another time for this thing around…
I DON'T OWN COWBOY BEBOP S As well as the a…..some lines here that I red from Julia Garwood's novel. But I do own Mrs. Emily (Faye's mom) ok, maybe someday I'll describe her. And oh! I also don't own the two songs here.

(last time……..)
"Hey there Faye!! Don't be a kill joy!!" Spike finally speaks.
"Fine!! Whatever you think I don't care!!" Faye cross her arms as she sighs a bit.
"Ed's barkadas always like this, arguing that will lead to nowhere, Ed's barkadas… when were all together its Jet person and Spike person teasing Faye Faye!! Smirks, killer eyes, wide eyes, chuckles, shouts, mad faces, annoyed reactions, funs… that's my barkadas!! Our barkadas!! That's THE BARKADAS!!" Ed started to sing something describing their situation.. (feeling ko wrong grammar na naman xa. Hehehhe…
The three smiled thinking that Ed's right. It was Jet and Spike teasing Faye-Faye with her mad killer eyes, Smirks of Spike, wide eyes of jet, chuckles from Jet and Spike, shouts of Faye, annoyed reactions of the three and the funs that they are building.
It was really them… the everlasting Barkadas!!
----------------------------------------------------
A/n.2: OK, this chapter would be mostly about the POV of Faye for the coming prom… meaning… the next chapter would be… you know… the JS prom! (Swear, cross my heart and hope to die) Thanks Sam for the idea… (",)
---------------------------------------------------
Faye didn't know what had awakened her. One second she was sound asleep, roping cattle, and the next she was wide-awake and as tense as a bow! Sleep probably eluded her! She's not really the type of light sleeper. She got up to bed to cross the window and a faint breeze brushed her face. She let out a loud yawn and thought about going back to sleep, but then she saw the faint orange glow in the distance and realized it was already dawn. The sun was slowly making its way up into the black sky. Damn, but morning had come quickly. She was still sleepy, and it seemed to her that she had only closed her eyes!
She stretched her arms went out to get a drink of water before she got dressed. Dragging her wimpy, lazy foot downstairs as her mom greets her a good morning.
(ok, I'm sorry kung mejo ninarrate ko na naman xa. (",).)
"Morning Faye! What made you wake that early?" Mrs. Emily asked with sarcasm as she checked the time. It was past six in the morning and Faye really surprised her.
"Oooh miracle huh?" Faye responded as if she's not talking to her mother.
"Obviously, any reasons?" her mom's asks her giving Ein some dog food.
"I actually don't know, It's just…."
"I guess it's the prom right?" her mom interrupted her as she guessed what would be the next sentence of Faye.
"I guess so…anyway, are you done at my dress? Maybe I'll buy something that'll match on it. And ummm…" she pause for awhile thinking if she'll continue it. "I must relax myself so maybe I will later go to spa."
" Yea, I'm all done to your dress! You're really excited, why?"(Ok, I made Faye's mom as a well-known fashion designer.)
"I'm not that excited… I just need a little preparation coz this would be our… err…my last prom."
"And…" Her mom looked at her as she raised an eyebrow.
"And…. and that's it!" Faye annoyingly crossed her legs as well as her arms. Her voice was shaking knowing that she's not telling the truth.
"Oh, really? Sweetie if you're going to lie you better give your best coz I know you…. And I guess someone just really bothering you…."
"What do you mean by 'someone'?" Faye quickly cut her mom's word not wanting to hear the fact. She'd been refusing that she's really getting conscious to herself and excited coz of…
"I guess someone's bothering you that made you feel like that. You're making sure that you're attractive!"
"Oh really?! And who would it be then?"
"I don't know, but as your mom I guess it was…."
"Who?"
"Spike?"
She doesn't know how to react about it. Is it really Spike? (Obviously! She just keeps refusing it! Anyways, back on the story.) Surprise huh? She's now lost in her thoughts.
Her mom smirk thinking if her guess was right though she never failed on her intuition. Faye and Spike are best friends but…. Do they really love each other only as friends?
"Then it's true! Are you in love with Spike, Faye?" her mom ghastly speaks waiting for Faye's response.
"Of course I love him and I really have a crush on him but I never love him that way…." Faye sigh in relief that her big mouth was doing great!
"Oh! I knew it, my little Faye Faye have a crush on Spike person!"
Faye swallowed so hard recognizing the voice from her back…. It was the…
"What the hell…. Lunkhead?!"
"What is it my wifie wife Faye Faye?!" Spike spoke copying the accent of Ed wanting Faye to be annoyed.
"Stoooop calling me as your wife! Damn you, you supposed to knock first before entering, know that?!" Faye angrily shouted as her cheeks started to get red… she was really ashamed that Spike heard her last sentence.
"Embarrass huh?" Spike teases her but Faye only frown. "Ok ok…. I will… but aren't ye forgetting something?" Spike put his hands inside his pocket as he stares to his dear Faye.
"What is it?" she prodded.
"Geez Faye, you're doing the same thing to me… you'll just open the door as if you owns it, and you doesn't care what the hell of thing I am doing."
"Grrrrrrrrrr!!!" was Faye's only response.
Mrs. Emily sigh and chuckled realizing that they were too old to act like this, they are still the same old childhood best friends that she knew… the unchanging relationship of Faye and Spike.
"Faye, Spike, I want to dare you two…"Mrs. Emily broke the argument of the two.
"What is it?!" Both of them excitingly ask as they simultaneously blink their eyes.
"For just a one whole day, would you two separate for awhile until the prom, and whoever says the word… 'You look awesome' or any praise on the prom would loose!
"That's all?!" the two ask again. They automatically locked each other's eyes realizing that they have the same thoughts.
"Yea. That's all! Very easy isn't it?"
"Yea…. coz I know that I'll be the most beautiful girl on our prom!"
"Most beautiful girl? Oh! Maybe in your dreams Faye!" Spike laugh out loud.
"You'll see!! Now get out of here you wimpy asshole!" Faye seriously spoke.
Spike paused when he saw the look of a determined Faye face.
"See you then, but I'll be the most charming prince then" he speaks while laughing and stop to say something,
"Faye, it's rude to look away when you're speaking to someone." He continues as Faye then smiled over the censure in his voice. He sounded like a teacher explaining simple manners to a little girl.
She pulled her arm away and with that, the two starts to waffle on their thoughts.
"Ok, be the most charming guy, see you then." Faye proudly challenged him as she closed the topic.
'Topic's closed. It's a tentative bye-bye first to the two.' Mrs. Emily thought.
----------------------------------------------
It took over an hours before Faye got back to home. She probably went out on shopping, spa, and haunt the mall. Although darkness was fast approaching, the day wasn't over yet to someone named…. Faye Valentine and Spike Spiegel! They are too determined for the simple, stupid dare. How they wish that he'll/she'll say this…. 'You really look good tonight, you look awesome…'
--------------------------
God! Faye brought everything that she need! And the dress that her mom made for her really looks great to her. Its color was suited for her, and it also fits well on her. She really looks like a gorgeous lady!
"I bet I'll win this dare!!" she thought so assured.
"You'll see Spike Spiegel!" she look at her make up kits exploring every little piece of it… studying and trying which fits the best, which looks the best, specially, which of it would make her really beautiful as the goddess of beauty?
"If Egypt has Cleopatra, Riverdale has Veronica lodge, Hollywood has Liv Tyler, well on the night after today has Faye Valentine!" she thought again
After she knew that it's getting late she decided to sleep, wanting to look fresh. She changed her clothes on and clean herself as she decided to have first a hot bathe on a tub before she go to sleep. She closed her eyes and put the headset of her cd player on her ears as the music relaxes and suited her.
She was carried away by the song entitled as, Last Chance by: Allure
LAST CHANCEAllure
This is my last dance with you
This is my only chance to do all I can do
To let you know what I feel for you is real
This is the last chance for us
This is the moment that I just (cannot let)
End…
Before I know that there's a chance for us
To be more than friends
So don't let go let it last all night
This is my last chance to make you mine
I kept my feelings of you and me somewhere in time
Although I prayed that you will see it in my eyes
But this is my last chance to say
What's in my heart before you stay out of my life
And then you'll understand the way I feel inside
So hold me close coz it feels so right
This is my last chance to make you mine
Make this dream reality
So close and so far
Gotta find your way into your heart
Gotta speak my mind
Gotta open up to you this time
I can't let you slip away tonight
This is my last dance with you
This is my only chance to do all that I can do
To let you know that. What I feel for you is real
So don't let go
Just make it last all night long,
This is my last chance to make you mine
To make you mine…
She was very calm and relaxed after hearing the song. She's no longer tense or exaggerated nor excited for the coming prom, so sleep would never eluded her now!
She almost forgot everything. She just found herself lying on her bed almost unconscious.(Yea I know that she supposed to be sad, or whatever coz the song definitely relates to her and Spike… but just let it be as an encouraging song… I want Faye to show fortitudinous here. hehhehe )
And in her dream was the prom….
And the song that was playing in her dreams was the song entitled,
'Say that you love me' by: Regine Velasquez
(talaga naman!! Pilipina pa talaga ung kinuhanan ko ng song!!)
"But will you say that you love me,
and show me that you care,
say when I need you,
you will always be there,
but if you'll go ,
and leave me ,
this I swear Is true,
my love will always be
with you……..
Someone's dancing, and she just found out that it was her, but she can't still see yet who's the guy, it was blurred. But then she keeps on dancing with the mysterious guy! The feeling's fine and Little by little she can see the guy's face, she can smell him and it was so familiar, the touch, his warmness, it was native to her… it was none other than… 'Spike Spiegel' he really looks great and as she opens her mouth to say how gorgeous he is tonight she just remember the dare that stopped her. Spike just keeps staring to her and knew what she wants to say. He can see it in her eyes, in her smiles. And that made Faye really tense as a bow again.
But Spike relieved her tense when he says these unimaginable things to her.
'You look amazing Faye! I admit it! I can no longer resist it.'
(Unimaginable isn't it?! Can you imagine Spike saying those words to Faye?! Oh, anyway…)
And with that Spike held her closer to his, as his left hands cupped her face and the other hand caress her back…. He kissed her and they kiss passionately in the dark with the music, Faye closed her eyes enjoying the jelly tongue of Spike and as soon as she can no longer breathe she pulled him a bit and found someone else holding her… she was confused when he found out that the guy he's been kissing was no longer Spike for it was……...
(End of the dream)
"Vicious?" she whispers almost out of air to breathe, perspiration sweeps out. She quickly rose from her bed convincing herself that it was just a dream a nightmare rather. She checked the time and she knew that it's getting late and she have to take a shower, dress herself, and take her breakfast. The prom is coming tonight!
-----------------------------------
'Yea! It's just a dream… for Spike can never do that! He'll never love me the way I love him, he wouldn't care about me… how I look bla bla bla…he don't even need me, and I know that Spike wouldn't be there by my side every now and then, forever and ever… someday he will leave me and he will face the world without me…but how silly am I for my love for him will always be as it is….'
