Hi peoples! I don't have much to say today, so I'll make it quick. Please expect the chapters to be up-dated about once or twice a week, if not less. It just so happened that I had a few free days this week so I was allowed to write all I wanted. So that's basically it. Thanks for you co-op.
Meeting Anita
Spike flew to Mars wondering what and who was Anita and how much things had changed. "What's so important about this Anita woman anyway? It's not like she's a hero of some sort." He said to himself. "I bet I could reach her by her number, lets see here."
Pulling out the number that Jet had given he quickly dialed her number.
"Hello" Someone on the other line answered. Spike knew that it wasn't Faye but some how the voice sounded strangely familiar.
"Hello" the voice repeated.
"Uh hi I was wondering if Faye Valentine was there?"
"No she isn't she's teaching right now, could I ask her to called you back at some point today?"
"No that's okay I'll just stop by the school and see her myself, I kinda of haven't seen her for a while and I really want to see how she's doing."
"Umm sure, would you like me to take you to her when you get there?"
"Why not. I'll be there in 10 minutes."
"Okay I'll meet you at the entrance to the school okay see ya, oh and by the way my name's Anita bye"

"So that's who Anita is, but she doesn't sound older than 17. But she seem to know a lot about Faye so what the hell."
Spike landed at the as true to his word in 10 minutes. Mars Elementary was what the school was called. Waiting for him was a woman right outside the school entrance.
"Excuse me, but are you Anita?"
"Yes I am, and you are the one I have to take Faye too rig......"Anita stopped short when she saw who she was talking to. "Spike is that really you, please tell me your not another illusion." Anita practically begged. Tears came to her eyes as she spoke as if she knew him. Anita had long orange hair that was in a loose braid; she had fairly tanned skin and had golden eyes like a cat. She was wearing tan khakis and a white T-shirt that said "Computer Whiz".
"Yes I'm Spike and how do you know who I am?"
"Spike.........it's me..........Edward."
"WHAT! Your Ed! Oh wow what happened to you? I mean not that it's a good thing but wow, I never thought you could look so grown up." Spike said lost for words. The 13 year old little girl who spoke in the third person, had a huge appetite, wore nothing but spandex shorts and a T-shirt that was way to small, and was an amazing hacker, had turned into a well mannered, sophisticated, charming and beautiful young woman.
"Yeah it's me alright. But how did you survive? What did you do while you were gone? How come you didn't come back? What did......"
"I'll tell you everything okay, let's sit down." Spike cut her off. Edward or Anita nodded and sat down on the stairs to the school. Spike then told her everything that had happened and what he did, and also what he found out from Jet.
"So now tell me what happened to you?"
"Jeez Spike you say it like it was a bad thing that I changed." Anita said sarcastically.
"It's not a bad thing in fact I really like it, but compared to what you were like before I'm going to need some time to get used to it okay. Anyway I want answers, what made you change?"
"My father after I left got abusive. He had finally made all of the crater markings and decided to sell it to the public, but no body would buy. I tried helping as best as I could at the time, but I would usually scare the person away by my crazy antics. He finally got fed up with the way I acted and started yelling at me. Then after about 2 months with no success he started drinking and committing crimes. Then every night he would come home and beat me until I was almost near death. Then he would leave me alone for the rest of the week. I also was treated badly, I got little food and I slept on the damp floor."
"Then it got worse, my father got fed up with me talking in the third person and started beating me for that as well. He said every time I spoke like that he would hit me, and you know from experience that my father was no pushover. And I tried so hard not to speak after that." Anita said, she was already crying. Tears where streaming down her face and trying not to look at him.
"You can stop if you want, I'm not going to push you."
"No it feels good to get this off my shoulders. Anyway my dad's violent behavior got so bad that one week when my father was out drinking I snuck out of the house and went to the old orphanage that I had stayed at and asked the woman that worked there to look after Ein. She graciously agreed and I ran back to the house, but my father was already there. When I came in he grabbed me by the throat and pinned me to the wall, then he started punching and kicking me for about 30 minutes be fore he passed out."
"After the beating I was able to build up some strength to call the ISSP and get myself help. I passed out by the time they got there. When I woke up I was in the hospital covered in casts and bandages. I found out that I had a small amount of head trauma, nothing to serious, but my legs were both broken, I had five broken ribs, a smashed bone in my arm that they had to replace, and I had lost 6 teeth that they were able to replace as well. But nothing compared to the amount of pain then what I felt in my heart. I had found out that my father had disappeared when the police got there."
"So you were all alone. How did you pay the hospital bill?"
"I didn't. Apparently there just happened to be a bounty on my dad and you can guess it Faye and Jet found out where I was. They completely covered everything with the bounty that they had caught; you know the 500,000,000 woolong one. Well anyway they got me out of the hospital and took me and Ein back on to the Bebop. But at the time Faye was still depressed about your disappearance, so I did my best to cheer her up.
"What did you do?"
"I tried to." Anita was cut off but the school bell ring. "Well school's over. We'll continue this conversation later."
"Sure definitely, now it's time for you to tell me where Faye is." Spike said with a smirk. He was very anxious to see Faye. It was written all over his face.
"She's in room 415 you can't miss it. It's the third door on the left. I think you'll like what she's done with the room. The parent's say that she's teaching to a whole new level, everyone that's in her class gets perfect marks. But you'll have to find out what she does yourself okay. I have to get going I have to get back to the apartment and get dinner started, I'll see you soon I hope bye."
Anita walked away and Spike tried to push himself through the crowd of children that were racing out of the school.
"I honestly can't wait to see her."
Alrighty! Chapter three is completed. So Edward is now Anita. Please tell me you like it, you will eventually find out why her name is Anita, but that will be later on. So please review and no flames. Thanks and see ya.
