Hi peoples! How ya doin? Look first of all I want to apologize to all of my old reviewers; my computer would not allow me to change the chapter that was wrongly up-dated. So with a heavy heart I had no choice but to delete it and start again. I'm thinking of adding a few changes, just to make the story a little better. Tell me what you think okay, I need some more ideas. Thanks!!
Welcome Back Cowboy
A tall, lanky, man with green puffy hair like an afro walked on the docks of Mars. He had left his so-called home behind and went to fight his past. This man was the one and only Spike Spiegel. 'Man where the hell is the Bebop'.
And then he saw it....... the Bebop. It wasn't the old Bebop that had no color or style, no what he saw was a ship that was painted white with red streaks. In bold red letters on the side of it said the name Bebop with a small inscription on it that said Bounty Head Beware We're Coming For You.
"Wow" was all that Spike could say. But Spike being himself quickly shrugged it off and went inside. The inside of the ship had been renovated as well. The walls were painted white and floor was carpeted, the hanger was neat and organized with shelves that had every kind of ship parts and tools.
The living room also had been renovated, the once gold tinted couch that he used to sleep on now had a red covering, the fan was working and they also had air conditioning. They had even replaced the old TV with a new one as well. The kitchen Spike barely recognized, it had a large refrigerator were the old one used to be and it was full of food, there was a dining table there. Even the cabinets had pots, pans, plates, forks, knives, spoons, napkins, glasses you name it, it was there.
"So your finally back" a deep gruffy but playful voice said behind him. Spike turned around and saw Jet. He hadn't changed a bit. Spike smiled looking at his old partner and seeing that he wasn't angry at him for leaving.
"Hey how's it been, I haven't seen you for four years." Jet replied again with the same happiness in his voice. He led Spike back in to the living room and sat down on the couch. When he did his expression changed. He looked hurt and sad, and Spike seeing that began to feel guilty. He knew what Jet wanted. He wanted the truth.
"So where have you been?" Jet asked again. Spike turned serious and was prepared to answer all questions truthfully.
"I had to finish what had started. I took Vicious down and broke up the Syndicate. I also had to get myself fixed up. I had done some real damage to myself when I left. My eye need to be fixed and when I got to the hospital I had internal damage, head trauma, a whole bunch of bullets in me, but all in all it was just a lot cuts and bruises." Spike said getting up from the couch and getting himself a glass of water.
"Then why didn't you come back afterwards?"
"I guess......I guess I was scared. I didn't know if you were going to welcome me in with a gun to my head or a greeting. I also had felt real guilty for all the pain I had caused you and the woman." He sat back down next to Jet.
"Then how come you came back?"
"I had a vision. I saw something that gave me a feeling I could not explain. I saw you, Faye, Ed, the mutt, and myself all together again and for some reason I felt good about what I had done back then with all of you. Then that feeling came and I just knew I had to come back and see.'
"See what"?
"If I really did belong here or where the Syndicate lay, in the ground." Spike changed back to his laid back self. "Now that I have answered yours I want you to answer mine."
"Fire away"
"What the hell happened to this place?"
"About 10 months after you left there was a huge bounty reward on Callisto for 500,000,000 woolong. The bounty head was doing everything imaginable bombings, rape, murder, robberies, selling illegal drugs such as Red Eye, he was also was an escaped convict. So you can guess that we headed there right away. The funny thing is that he was very smart, but when he was around women such as Faye he was like a drunken idiot. Basically she seduced him and by the time I got there he was knocked out and in rope and handcuffs."
"Just before we got to the ISSP Faye told me everything, about her being in suspended animation, the loss of memory and how she finally remembered. She also told me about the huge debt that she had. So I made her a deal, I would give her the entire bounty to pay off her debt and she had to quit gambling and help out around here."
"She did exactly what I asked believe it or not. She paid her debt and she hasn't gambled since. After she was done paying we had about 200,000,000 left. What she did surprised me, she sent me to a small area on Mars for about 2 weeks saying that I needed a vacation. Then when she got back it was just like it is now, she said it was for being the father that she had lost."
"So basically what your telling me is that she's stopped being a slut and moved on with life?" Spike laughed at his joke but stopped when he saw Jet's face.
"Don't you dare ever talk about her like that again. You have no idea what she went through after you left. Jesus Christ man she tried killing herself three times! And do you want to know why?! She did it because of you! She kept on praying every night for 15 months hoping that your sorry ass would come back to her!
Spike couldn't even think. "She tried killing herself?"
"Yeah three times, she tried slitting her wrists twice and the third she took and over dose of sleeping pills." Jet replied calming down.
Guilt washed all through Spike, he had no idea that she was that upset. "How.......What......Is she okay now?" He asked not knowing what to say anymore. For some reason he felt himself become worried for her safety.
"Yeah she's fine now. She's a school teacher."
Spike spat out his drink and started choking. Faye a schoolteacher, were they talking about the same Faye. "You're joking right, you've got to be kidding. I mean she hates kids right?"
"No not at all. She even has her own little apartment on Mars. She lives there on weekdays and lives here on the weekends. It's amazing how she went from being depressed for almost a year and a half to being a loved teacher. I've still have got to find a way to thank Anita for it."
"Anita?"
"Yeah she's Faye's ......." Jet stopped himself before he could let anything slip.
"Faye's what?"
"Sorry buddy I can't tell you, but I can give you a way to find out for yourself. Here is Faye's address and phone number, and here is the school that she works at."
Jet handed Spike a piece of paper with everything on it. "Oh and Spike."
"Yes"
"Don't treat her like you used to. I don't think she could handle it. Please be gentle with her. She's been through too much. Capeash."
"Yeah I got it. I won't do anything too rash." "Oh and one more thing.......it's good to have you back."
"It good to be back."
Done with chappie 2! So how is it? Please review and tell me what you think. Anyway I really want to tell you guys that Faye will be a little OC but she will go back to her old self okay. Love ya all.
