Faye woke up from her slumber; her hair was all in disarray. She sat up and looked out her window…as if she was waiting for something, for someone.
"Faye you're awake." Jet had passed by her room with a large box in his arms. "I made some spaghetti, you hungry?" He adjusted the box in his arms.
"No thanks. I think I'm gonna…"
"He's wasn't thinking Faye." He smiled at her.
"Yeah he was." She looked away from Jet. She stood up and the sheets fell around her. "I need a drink." She said.
"Faye I don't think that's the best thing to do right now." He warned her. Faye just looked at him with heated eyes. Faye never looked at him like that before.
She walked passed him down the hall, into the bathroom.
Spike lay dead to the world on the sofa. His mouth hung wide open and his snore was real thunderous. Ed hung on the stairs and looked in his mouth.
"Oooh." She mimicked his sleeping position on the stairs. Ein just sat and watched.
Spike heard her and looked up to see a big fuzzy red haired person hanging over his head.
"Wakie-wakie Spikie!" Ed laughed. Spike sat up and looked around the room. He moved his hair out of his eyes. He heard an echo of Faye and Jet's voices. He looked up hoping to see a glimpse of Faye. Her purple hair came around the corner. She stopped dead in her tracks.
"Faye?" he stood up. She stood close to the wall with sad eyes.
"Screw you." She grabbed her coat and walked passed him.
"Faye, please." He chased after her. However Faye just walked away.
Faye was in her ship and was going to Mars to go have some "alone time".
"Dumb-ass Spike." Faye started the engine and flew off still wiping away tears.
Faye went to a new joint called the Red house…she opened the doors to heaven. The bar was opened and that was the first place she hit.
"What can I get ya gal?" The bartender smiled. Faye looked at him and had no attraction what so ever.
She rolled her eyes. "The cheapest damn thing you got." He poured the glass in front of her. She just looked at it for a minute. She thought of Spike and she thought of their fight.
"I'm not worthless." She took a swig. Two men from afar were watching her. They were grungy men, probably in their early forties.
"Hey David, look at that fine piece of ass right there." Said one man he quite short and had a 5:00 shadow at 7:00 at night. He wore a hoodie, and brown pants.
"Yeah, she looks like she could be some fun." David was a little taller than his tiny friend. He had long hair tide back and wore dark shades indoors. He also wore a biker's jacket that said "Ladies Man" on it.
Faye noticed she was being watched and really didn't care. As long as they don't come over. She thought to herself
"Hey cutie pie." Okay time to care. Faye looked at them and just smiled a quick unloving cold smile.
"My name is Jeff, and this is David." Said the short one.
"Pleased to meet you." Said Jeff trying to take her hand.
"Look…you guys maybe really nice but I'm not in the "hit on me" mood right now." She took another big swig of her beer.
"Come on baby…don't be so cold." David had slid his hand up her thigh. Faye felt a shiver all over.
"Hey buddy! Don't touch me!" Faye got up from the bar. David just smiled. Jeff was behind her and grabbed her ass. Faye looked back at the bar and said in her head again. "You are not worthless." "Keep your hands to yourself!" Faye looked and saw a man. He was tall and had raven black hair that came to his shoulders. He wore a black suit and his eyes… Faye became lost in those beautiful brown eyes.
"And who the hell are you?" Jeff asked.
"Go away pretty boy! We saw this chick first." David yelled.
"Please a woman as beautiful as she wouldn't want trash like you." He responded.
"You piece of shit." Jeff went in for a punch, but the mystery man grabbed his wrist and threw him over the bar.
David pulled out a pocketknife. The man grabbed him before he could cut him he just smiled at them while he knocked them to the ground.
"Uh…thanks." Faye had no clue of what to say.
"No problem. These idiots have been giving the waitresses here a hard time. I couldn't hold it in anymore."
"Where are my manners my name is Jason…" He smiled and it might have been the cheap beer or it could have been the light but his smile sparkled. Faye seemed to be intrigued by his man.
Back at the Bebop, Spike watched Ed spin around on her head.
"Around and around Eddie goes, where she'll stop no one knows. Wheeeee!" she stopped and looked at Spike. "What's wrong Spike? Tell the wise and might ED!" she moved her fingers like she was doing magic.
"Nothing…it's non of your concern." Ed just looked at the broken and groggy Spike.
"Okay!" she spun on her head again. "Wheeeee!" Spike looked up at the ceiling and thought to himself
Faye your not worthless…I'm such a dumb shit! Should never let her get on that side. Damn I wonder where she is? Hope she's okay. What the hell am I worried about she can take care of herself.
Spike drifted off to sleep.
"Thanks again for helping me." Faye was leaving the Red house and saying goodbye to her knight in shining black jacket.
"Yeah nice talking to you. See ya around." Jason watched as Faye walked over to her ship. He noticed just a little too much.
"See ya later cowboy." She said. She flew off.
"See ya soon. Sooner than you think." Jason said under his breath.
