I Need Love

A Cowboy Bebop Fanfic

Chapter 5
When Spike opened his eyes he saw that he was in a room. A room that looked a lot like a garage. Everyone was inside, some people he knew and some he didn't. There were eight people in the room, not including himself, Faye, Vicious, Vince, and other people he didn't know.

"Spike, welcome to the basement. This is were it happens." Vicious said, taking the blind fold away from him.

"Where what happens?"

"Later." Vicious said, Vicious is a man that says very little, Spike thought.

"Spike, this is Jet," Faye said pointing to a bald-headed man with a mechanical arm, "He and Ed," Faye said pointing to a little girl with a mop of red hair on her head, "are the mechanics, and Ed is the watcher."

"A watcher?"

"We'll get to that later. This is Mouse," Faye said pointing to a guy with short blond hair and glasses, "and his brother Devon." Faye brought Spike's attention to a tall guy that had raven black hair, and dark blue eyes. He was dark and mysterious and Spike wondered if he and Faye had something going on because when they looked eachother both their eyes warmed, and they touched eachothers arm before she got on with the next person.

"You don't look like brothers," Spike said, trying to draw Devon's attention away from Faye.

"Were half brothers." Mouse and Devon said at the same time.

"We get that a lot." Mouse said.

"Last but not least, this is Julia." Faye said bringing Spike's attention away from Mouse and toward a tall blond. Faye gave her a little hug, and whispered something in her ear, and they both giggled, before Julia brought her attention back to Spike. Spike thought she was beautiful, with her long blond hair. He usually liked blonds but for some reason he liked Faye's violet hair. She was all he could think about right now. Bringing his attention back to the group when he realized he was imagining Faye in his bed, he saw Julia looking at him with a mysterious look in her eye. He was wondering what she was thinking and he couldn't help but think he met her somewhere before.

When Vicious spoke he put that thought in the back of his head, along with Faye (even though those didn't get put away as easily as Julia) and tried concentrating on what Vicious was saying.

"If you would like to join this group then anything that we talk about must not be talked about at school, unless we have privacy, and nobody outside this group is there."

"This group that you are about to join is a secret society I guess you can say." Jet said, looking Spike in the eye. ,"I have no idea in hell why they chose you to be the new member, but I respect Faye's and Vicious's decision."

"In this "gang" you will need to have some driving skills. You see we race, (An: I know.its so much like Fast and the Furious, but what can I say I love that movie.) and if we win we get money. If our group wins a race we get prize money, and only half of that we get to keep. The other half goes to something else, we won't tell you now, but let's just say that it's a good cause."

"Here, everyone is our friend, and we trust eachother. If you are not a person that can give your trust easily then you better get outta here."

"That's mostly all you need to know. Nothing else is really important right now."

"Hey Spike, you might want to know this, since the others have failed to mention that this race is more then just driving a car. It is like a maze, with tons of obstacles. You are going to be driving a car, and flying a plane. You are going to be jumping from a plane, and roller skating, to head on combat. This isn't a wimp sport. You can get hurt, and trust me we all get hurt." Faye said, seriously.

"There's one more thing that I want to know."

"And what's that?" Devon said.

"Is this illegal?"

"Hell yes!" Jet said.

"Okay, I'm in." Everyone smiled except for Devon. Spike thought he saw a glint in his eyes, but wasn't sure because Faye was in his way when she came and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"You'll love it here." Faye said grinning up at him.

"I know I will." Spike said returning the smile, "now tell me.where is my room?"

"Follow me sir, and I will show you." Faye hooked her arm through his and they started walking toward the door. "Hey Jet! Have you finished dinner yet? I'm sure that our guest her is famished!"

"Yeah, yeah. I'll go put it on the table now. Dinner will be ready is 10 minuets! You here that boys? I don't want any of you late!" Jet said as he followed Faye and Spike out the door. The rest of the guys stayed downstairs, and gathered around a table and started talking.

"So Faye, I seem to get the feeling that I didn't get the whole thing down there. Are there some things that you guys failed to mention?"

"We got most of it down, there are just a couple more minor details, but that can wait until later. The next race isn't until tomorrow, so we don't have to explain everything now. But you won't be racing tomorrow. You will just watch, and stay back with Ed."

"Hey! Why don't I get to race? And Ed? Isn't she that little girl?"

"Yeah, and you don't have enough experience, and you don't know how everything goes so you will just to have to watch."

"Fine, whatever." Spike said grumpily. Faye led him upstairs, and back into the living room. She told him to wait there while she checked on Jet. When Faye left Spike sat on the plush sofa, and relaxed, and sorted some things out in his head. He didn't notice anyone behind him until they spoke.

"So you're the new guy." Devon said.

"Yup, me the new guy." Spike said, closing his eyes again.

"Well I just wanted to give you a friendly hello, and say that if you do anything to Faye to hurt her I will personally hang you out to dry.(AN: I don't think that was that mean, do you?)

"What are you her boyfriend?"

"No, but I used to be. Right now we are just..how do you say. close friends." Devon said.

"Okay. Anything else you wanted to say?"

"I see the way she looks at you, and the way you look at her, and I know there are going to be some sparks. I just wanted to warn you that if you hurt her in anyway, I will hurt you. Otherwise I think we could become good friends." Devon said, then turned and walked away. "Weird guy, Spike thought."

A few minutes later Faye walked back in and directed Spike to a staircase. They walked up and after a few twist and turns she opened a door. Inside was a King bed, a dresser, a TV, and a bathroom. It was really nice, and a lot bigger than his room at home.

"You will be staying here. If you need anything then find one of us, and we'll help you."

"I might need some help finding this room again."

"I'll help you find it again. Now hurry up and change, dinner will be set in a couple of minutes and you don't want to make Jet mad." Faye said and closed the door. She opened the door, and said," Stop standing there looking like you don't know what to do. There are some extra shirts and pants in the drawers." Then she closed the door again. Spike grinned and quickly changed into a white button up shirt, and blue trousers.

When he opened the door again he saw Faye waiting patiently out in the hallway.

"Hurry up." Then she quickly ran down the stairs. Spike had to catch up. "I'm starving." Spike thought. And then he grinned when he smelled all the great food coming from the kitchen. "This is going to be great living here!"
End of Chapter 5

Sorry I haven't updated in a long time. Sorry I know this is short, and it isn't all that good, but it will have to do for now. I will try to write another chapter really soon!
