Chapter Six:

Sunset

Spike was vaguely surprised and quite amused at the scene that played when he had opened Faye's door.

She had obviously been up to something that she didn't want anybody else (him) to know about. For a fraction of a second his mind panicked when she toppled off the table, but the panic was gone just as long after.

Faye lay slightly stunned on her bed staring at the thing she had been planning to run from. Her mouth opened to say something, but she couldn't think of anything so her mouth curled into a sheepish smile and she said, "Hi," rather loudly.

Spike had bent forward slightly at the waist, putting his head into the room without being in it. He took her smile and greeting as permission and stepped in. "Hi," he responded and paused. "What are you up to?"

She blinked at Spike as he stepped into her room framed by the light of the hallway. "Up…to?" she blinked. "Up..Oh!" Faye suddenly remembered why she had been standing on her nightstand and the cash all over her legs, bed, and floor. "Nothing, nothing, at all!" she denied hurriedly as she scrambled to a sitting position. Spike raised an eyebrow at her.

Faye flushed and her voice was slightly higher than normal as she cried, "Nothing!" again more forcefully and glared at him while grabbing at the money everywhere and trying to not look away from him.

There was silence for the few seconds Faye spent gathering her cash.

She froze when she had gotten it all between her hands, which were suddenly slightly damp and looked up at Spike.

"So, can I come with?" Spike asked as Faye noticed she was sitting on her cred card.

That snapped Faye out of her Spike induced trance, "What? No!"

"Why not?" He smiled smugly at her red face and slightly puffed and indignant cheeks.

Faye stood up forgetting about the cred card and glared at Spike. "Because!"

His smirk grew, "That's not a reason."

Faye went white and then flushed again, What? Aargh! "Of course it is! You can't come I'm going to…" she paused, "shop!"

Spike lit up, "For food?"

"No."

"Oh…for clothes or for better race tracks?" he asked superciliously

"Maybe."

"You should buy some food. We're out of beer."

"What?" Faye shrieked. "But there were four in there this morning!"

"I drank them."

Faye growled and pushed past him out of her room. This was not going as planned. Why did he have to just…pop in? This was supposed to be a clean getaway. She stomped down the hallway into the common room and down to the hangar.

Spike watched her stomp away and then glanced back into her room, his eyes catching on the cred card on Faye's bed. He walked slowly forward and picked it up with his right hand. It was warm.

Spike pocketed the card and followed Faye to the hangar. He thought about having a smoke.

Faye muttered as she climbed into Redtail, berating herself for losing her composure in front of Spike. Then she berated her self for caring about her composure at all.

Just as Faye prepared to close her door and begin take off Spike entered the hangar.

He had decided not to let her get away and whistled sharply at Faye in her ship and called her name.

She was irritated by his continued presence while her heart skipped at his use of her name. One eyebrow went up and one corner of her mouth jerked down as she turned to look at Spike.

He smiled at her face and called, "You forgot this," he held the card up with his right hand between two fingers.

Faye looked away and down in thought. Her face quickly became defeated and she closed her eyes and sighed, "Come on. Bring it," she called back to him.

Faint laughter reached her as she moved to close the hatch. "Shut up!" she yelled angrily. More laughter answered her.

She powered up and took off, Spike following behind.

NFA: Okay, chapter six. Hope its okay. I will probably edit it immensely later, but I couldn't hold it back a moment later once I finished it. I'm kinda impatient. Lemme know how it is even if you think you'll have to make me cry.

PLEASE REVIEW.
