Chp 3 Dreams often tell us what we have always wanted

****

            The night sky was dismal.  No stars just the black veil of darkness.  The moon even seemed darker than usual, Faye stood on the porch area of her motel room.  She sighed then walked back into her room. She pulled off her shoes and then yanked open the sheets of the bed.  She laid down. A few minutes after her head hit the pillow she began to her slumber.

~~~~~~ Dream~~~~~~~

The steel of the ship was cold to her back.  Faye stood there listening to the two men on the ship laugh.  What the hell was so funny? She thought.  Jet's voice sounded no louder than a mumble.  She heard Spike say, "She's dead, there's nothing more I can do for her."

            Steps started to get closer and as Faye saw him enter the hall.  She whipped out her gun and pointed it at his head. His eyes went from looking straight a head to peeking to the side.

"Where are you going? Why are you going?" She paused only momentarily, "You told me once to forget the past, cause it doesn't matter. But you're the one still tied to he past Spike!"

            Spike head was cocked to look at her.  Suddenly he moved.  He walked over to her, putting his face right in hers. She could smell his cologne and the faint smell of cigarette on him.  "Look at my eyes, Faye, one of them is a fake cause I lost it in an accident."  The long pause he took gave her the chance to really get a look at his eyes.  They were different shades.  His right eye wasn't the same.  Her breath got caught in her throat and he spoke again, "Since then I've been seeing the past in one eye and the present in the other.  So, I thought I could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture."

"Don't tell me things like that.  You've never told me anything about yourself, so don't tell me now!"

"I felt like I was watching a dream I'd never wake up from, hmph, before I knew it the dream was all over."

            Spike shoved passed Faye when she said, "My memory, finally came back, but nothing good came of it.  There was no place for me to return to. This was the only place I could go, and now you're leaving just like that! Why do you have to go?  Where are you going? What are you going to do?"  She was so desperate.  She turned around and now began yelling, "Just throw you life away like it was nothing!?!"

His voice came out still calm and cool, "I'm not going there to die.  I'm going to find out if I'm really alive.  I have to do it Faye."

Spike stood there a second then looked up.  He began to walk away.  So all she could do was watch him walk away.  Faye began to fire off the rounds of her gun.  As she saw his frame disappear around the corner she threw down her gun and ran after him.  He was climbing into the swordfish.  She ran and jumped unto the wing of the plane.

"You can't go I'm not done with you! Stop it!  Spike, why can't you just stop and listen to me!?!"

"Faye get off my ship." He motioned her away with his hand.

"You're gonna die, damn it!  You gotta stop.  I won't let you go!"

            Spike looked up at her face from his seat.  He saw the tears begin to fall from the corner of her eyes. He stood up and climbed out of the cockpit.  He leapt down past her and then extended his hand up to help her down.  He looked at her face and touched her cheek, "Tears won't make me stay. I won't be held here cause of that.  It's too little too late."

            Faye grabbed the lapels of his suit jacket and pulled him closer.  She couldn't stop the tears.  She just kept her head down and sobbed into his chest.  Spike stood there with arms at his sides.  Reluctantly he placed his arms around her.  He hushed her and then pulled her back, "I didn't listen to my elders then so there's nothing you can say that can stop me."

            Faye lower lip quivered as he spoke.  She finally grabbed his face and pulled his lips to hers. At first he was thrown off guard. He pulled away and looked at her, "Faye you can't make me stay. Especially, not like that."

            Faye looked into his eyes.  She didn't care what he said she needed this.  It was the only she knew how to say she cared with out saying the words. She slapped him and then brought his face to hers again.  She was kissing him only this time she felt him kiss back just a little.  With that she backed him against the side of the swordfish and kept kissing him.  Each kiss he'd back off his defenses.  Her hands slipped up to get tangled in his hair. Spike turned them around and his kisses made her flesh burn hotter. He lowered a little to raise her body.  She grunted and felt his hands grip her tighter, her legs wrapped around his waist and she could feel the heat from him.  She reached down her hands and undid the button and zipper of his pants.  He looked her at face searching for the okay. Faye nodded just a second before he removed her shorts and pushed himself inside her.  Faye gasped and she could feel his hot breath on her neck.  He then nipped small kisses on her neck and continued to give into her.  Her arms wrapped tighter around his neck and their breaths became more labored.  She had never felt a connection like this with anyone before. As the pace quickened Spike used his arms to steady himself.  He was feeling the pressure build up.  Faye had now begun to moan his name into his ear between breaths. She could feel herself reaching her limit.  His final push was strong and she gripped onto him tighter as he called her name before releasing a deep breath of air.

End of Dream

            The floor came fast to her.  Faye sat up and whispered "Spike."  She looked at her surroundings and then remembered where she was.  She got herself up from the floor and sat on the edge of the bed.  She recalled her dream; the look he'd given her.

 "I hate my dreams." She whispered aloud.

Faye felt a sick. The tears began to well up in her eyes. Faye laid her head down again as tears escaped. She didn't want to cry but the feelings she'd tried to surpress were winning. Tears fell until sleep came again.

The morning had been quiet and beautiful Jet sighed.  He'd just finished loading the supplies he'd bought for his next voyage out.  He was standing atop the stairs and looked down on the empty living room.  He sighed and then started down the steps when he heard the buzzing of the communicator at the ships control deck.

"Awwww shit!" he bellowed.

  Jet barreled back up the stairway and then leapt for the signal control button. The screen was black then patched in fuzzy, the audio was perfect. A familiar voice boomed in, "Jet Black? Say Jet buddy you there?"

"Yeah so what does an old I.S.S.P. guy like you want Dohnali?"

"Well, I'm on a bit of a vacation visiting the grand kids.  I saw your ship in harbor while I was out with the family for breakfast and figured I'd give you a ring when I got home."

"Thanks for that."

"So how you been?  So are things okay on your ship?"

"Been better, and as for the ship things are okay. Why?"

"Oh, I just was…"

Jet cut him off and said "So I guess you heard about that little explosion in the Red Dragon Tower?" It was the first time Jet had mentioned it aloud.  He hoped if he never mentioned it that perhaps it didn't really happen.  Who was he kidding?

"Yeah, I did.  I'm sorry about your partner. I just know he had to be at the center of that."

"Me too, man, me too."  Jet's voice trailed off. He could feel a small lump build in his throat.  He cleared his throat and continued the conversation, "So do you know of any good bounties?  Not much going on since big shots has been cancelled."

"Oh I'm sure I can get a buddy of mine to send you some valuable information."

            Jet smiled and then chatted about the weather and planning perhaps to get together with his old work buddy and who knows maybe even go fishing from the bebop's deck.

            The sun blared down unto her already too brown skin.  It had been about a week since their last meal and Ed could see it was wearing on her faithful canine.  Her stay with father person hadn't gone as planned.  It was about two weeks ago that as he surveyed a new canyon created by the falling meteors that Ed had fallen asleep under a tree.  When she woke up she found a note.  It read :

Francois,

     Another shower hit and I hated to wake you up.  You looked so peaceful.  I hope you'll catch up to me and Macintosh (I think that's his name).  See you soon. 

   Love,

       Daddy

            Ed hadn't been able to find her father.  She noticed that he hadn't really paid much attention to her.  She'd felt a sence of relief as she read the note. The life of a mapper hadn't peaked her interest.

            Ed stopped and picked up Ein.  She continued to walk until she reached the edge of a small town.  The dust roads and tumble weeds reminded her of the old spaghetti westerns she had seen on t.v. when she was on the Bebop.  She smiled and nuzzled Ein, "Say, boy you wanna see if there's any place to rest?"

            The pooch touched her cheek with his wet nose and whined.  Ed nodded and began to walk to the closest building.  The building was old, but everything in this place looked weathered like ancient ruins.  She reached the door and saw that it was boarded up tightly. This meant that the building was probably abandoned. The front of the building had no windows and as she walked to the other side of it she spotted another door.  She trotted over and tugged at a loose board and was able to get in.  Ein followed her, Ed walked around and found a few empty boxes in the room that they stood.  The place was dusty, but the floor felt nice and cool to her tired feet.  She continued to walk around the place.  The only light was coming in from the holes between the boarded off doors.  As she entered the largest room she turned her head and saw a box with four light switches.  She slapped up all of them and the lights above flickered and only half lit up while the rest flashed in and out.  She looked around the room and saw a small fridge in the far corner.  She ran toward it and ripped open the door.  Inside of it were three cans of soda and a small bottle of water.  She reached in and grabbed a can. It was cold to her amazement.  She squealed, licked her parched lips and cranked open the tab.  She downed the can in seconds and smiled stupidly.  "Ahhh that was good!"  She then felt a nudge of her leg and looked down at Ein.  She grabbed the bottle of water and held his mouth open and poured some water to it.  The dog wagged his tail.  When he finally had enough water both walked around for a few more minutes just checking out their new dwelling.  Ed found a power socket and phone jack she then plugged in her Tomato.  It took a minute for the cpu to boot.  Ed conneted her goggles and then slapped them on her face.  She let out a semi maniacal laugh and then began to surf the web. 

"Where oh where can the bebop be? Bebop were you be?" she sang. 

Ein curled up next to her and began to sleep. A few minutes passed when she got a hit.  The page loaded and bam she saw her home away from home was on Mars.

 "How will Ed get to Mars?" she said aloud. 

For a minute she pondered.  Then she snapped her fingers and began to type like mad.
