Faye walked back through the doors of Bebop; she was almost angry but not at Jason and not at Spike but herself. Deep down she wanted to go with Jason…but then in her mind she would be worthless, worthless and a whore. She didn't want that.
She was in the hallway and she stopped. She sat down by the stairs and wept.
"You ARE worthless Faye! You ARE!" she kept repeating.
"No…your not." Jet was standing over her. Faye's eyeliner was smeared.
"Hey Jet." She said. She wiped away her smudges on her black dress.
"I don't really know what happened that night between you and Spike, but I would like to know so I can help." Faye just shook her head.
"You can't keep doing this to Ed, Ein, and I." Jet was a little shocked that he just said that.
Faye sighed and began the story. "Spike and I have had these…moments. Uh we kinda did something that I regret. Spike and I were alone and uh…" Jet put his metal hand up and said, "Don't get into detail."
Faye took a breath of relief. "Um, and I found out several ago I was knocked up." She turned away from Jet's look.
"WHAT! Faye that means you've killed it! You've been drinking…and…" Faye stopped him.
"It's gone Jet…when I was frozen, they told me that I couldn't have one…it would be alive only for the most 4 days, but it was there for two weeks…I told Spike and he said all things."
"What things Faye?" he asked.
"He called me a worthless whore…and that he wouldn't be the father…and that's it." Faye began to tear up.
"What did you say?" Jet crossed his arms.
"I called him a coward and a punk…all he cared about was his ex whore Julia." She touched her cheek. "And then he slapped me."
"Well from what Spike told me…he says he feels like shit." Jet put his hand out to her. She got up and walked to her room.
Faye was feeling a little better that she finally got that off her chest. She stretched and walked outside. She noticed they were on Mars. They were in the water.
"Hey Faye-Faye." Ed was playing tug of war with Ein.
"Hey Edward." She sat down on the couch.
"Hey Faye you seen Spike?" asked Jet he walked in the room.
"Not since yesterday morning." She said.
Jet pulled out his radio and radioed him. "Spike? Spike where are you? Why did you land us on Mars?" No answer.
It was mine…me a dad? Huh ironic. My dad walked out and I was going to walk out on mine. What the hell is wrong with me…why am I caring so damn much? Uh my head hurts I need to stop thinking like I used too.
"Hey Spike you called?" Spike was so drunk his vision was making everything look like Faye.
"Faye?" he asked idiotically.
"No, Spike it's me Electra." She pulled a seat up to him. She moved empty bottles away from him. He just starred at her with red shot eyes. Yet they were still enchanting.
"Spike what the hell is wrong with you?" she moved hair out her face.
"What can I get you miss?" asked a bartender.
"Oh, no thanks." She told him.
"Spike you have got to…get…up." Tried to help him stand up. She drove him back to her apartment. Spike rested and sobered up a little.
"You ready to talk?" she sat down next to him. "Uh…it's about Faye." He looked at her.
"Faye and I had done something we regretted. Faye and I had sex…and she comes and tells me that she pregnant. I said some things and she said some things. And now I can't look at her." She slumped in the chair.
"So when's it do?" asked Electra.
"It died inside of her. But I've been feeling really…" He looked up at the ceiling.
Back at the Bebop, Faye was getting ready to go bet on the ponies.
"Yo! Jet I'm going." She left.
She walked down the street and was actually pretty happy. She wasn't down, she didn't feel worthless, and she didn't feel lonely.
"Faye?" a familiar voice came from behind her. She turned to see Jason.
Her heart pounded fast like the horses at the races. "J-Jason…" she was scared and didn't know what to do.
"I missed you…why you'd run off like that?" She backed away from him and tried to get far but the streets were crowded.
"HUH? Why you'd run? To good for me huh?" His hand reached back. She pulled out her gun, but only enough so that he could see.
"I dare you to touch me!" Faye held her ground. Jason put his hand above his head and let her go. Faye walked away quickly and suddenly didn't feel safe. She walked faster, but couldn't shake the feeling off that she was being watched. She heard him say.
"See ya around." She closed her eyes and wished him away.
"And the winner is Thunder bolt!" the announcer yelled out to the crowd.
"Ugh!" Faye lost as usual. "Just my luck." She looked down at the money she won. "$6.00 BUCKS!" she yelled.
Faye walked down the road at night; the streetlights were her guide home. She walked slowly. Tearing the tickets that didn't win.
"Hey that's littering." Faye's heart pounded hard and quick. A pain came to Faye stomach.
"Ugh!" she grabbed her stomach. She fell to her knees and couldn't breathe. She looked up to see a sparkling smile.
"Hey babe." A pain came to the back of her head. She blacked out…
