This is a story between Faye and Spike. I don't owe Cowboy Bebop, this is just for fun. And Besides, I have to finish my previous story.

It was 12:30.

She is not back.

Spike walked in circles in living room of the Cowboy bebop. He panics around waiting for only one thing…

Faye.

He stroked his hands through his green hair. He carried his gun and walked towards the door. Something grabbed his wrist.

"Stop worrying about her," his rather huge friend, Jet, mentioned.

"Why can't she realize that there are dangerous guys out there?" Spike asked. "She said that she'd return at 10:00! Ten, Jet! She could now put herself in danger…"

The door flew open. There, was the happily dancing Faye in her normal yellow half top and shorts. Spike talked towards her, in an angry tone. "Where have you been?" Spike shouted. "You said that you'd come back at 10:00…"

"I stopped by to see my boy friend."

Spike cocked an eyebrow. "Boyfriend? You don't even…"

"I do have one, Spike. His name is C.J."

"For how long have you been seeing him?" Jet asked.

"2 weeks now," she answered. "He's everything of a man. He's so polite and kind. He's also…"

"Rich," Spike interrupted. "Crying out loud Faye, why can't you realize that men are just not money?"

"He happens to buy everything for me," Faye mentioned, "He is a great supporter and helps me through my problems."

Spike grunted. "You don't understand the meaning of true love. Love is different from money and diamonds."

"Come on Spike," Faye said, "You probably don't know the meaning of love. You just don't understand me…"

"Oh I understand you now," Spike said. "Every time a rich man comes around you are there with him. Ladies have different standards, when they see a rich man they turn into bitches. You can be such a demon when it comes to money. Ever since I met you, your main goal is money. Why can't you make yourself useful?"

There was silence. Jet looked at Spike, who care freely said that to Faye, and Faye who was staring at the floor.

"Do you know what, Spike?" Faye mentioned, "Ever since I met you, you have treated me like a fool. But do you know what? I don't care about a damn word that comes from your damn mouth. Somebody appreciates me, something that you never did." She walked, rather quickly, into her room. Spike wanted to get her, but Jet held him back.

"Let her go, Spike."

Spike cursed under his breath and went to his room. He sat on his bed and brought out a cigarette. With a puff, his nerves relaxed. But his mind was spinning.

Spike's POV

I made her angry again. Why can't she realize that there is more to life than money? Why can't she understand that she doesn't need to seek love in money when love can be right in front of her? I want the best from her; she deserves a better life than what she is going through.

He left his room and went to check on Faye. Her door was shut, but he could hear soft conversations in her room. She was on the phone. He gently pressed his ear against the door.

"Spike is so mean," she cried on the receiver. "He never did like me, and never will. He always considered me as a money monger, and believes that I am a common… what?" She paused. "Of course I would like to stay with you but… it would take time, I mean… of course your house is good and all… I will think about it. Ok… I love you… what? You'll come tomorrow? Sure. Love you. Bye.

Spike felt weak. She was crying on the phone, and that man actually cheered her up. He went back to his room. Finally he will meet the guy that makes her heart race.

The next day Spike was relaxing in the living room eating noodles. Then there was a knock on the door. He went to open it. There stood a huge man with long black hair and fair skin. He had a blurry designed tattoo on his shoulder. Spike slumped. He must be one of the rough boys.

"I am looking for Faye Valentine," his deep voice rumbled Spike's throat.

"You must be C.J," Spike said. "I'm Spike."

By the look on C.J.'s face, he was an enemy to him. "She told me so much about you," he said. "Be careful."

Spike smiled. "I love threats, don't you?"

C.J. smiled back, showing him that he wasn't joking. There was a moment of silence before Faye came out from her room. "Hello…" she was interrupted as C.J's lips joined hers. "Bye Spike," she said and slammed the door in front of his face.

Spike just stared at the slammed door in front of him. Faye can be very annoying, but is she going to be safe with that man?

He narrowed his eyebrows. Something is not right with C.J., and he's going to find out.
