I DON'T OWN COWBOY BEBOP ( Guys do I have to keep doing this it's getting on my damn nerves. *PoP* Ooops I popped a vein. dammit where's the duct tape? Go read leave me alone I've gotta find my duct tape.

"Faye," Gren whispered.

The purple haired woman opened one eye and looked at the blue-eyed man.

"Gren. I saw you but I couldn't--," she didn't get the words out because he shushed her.

"It's ok. You'll find me. Don't worry."

He started to fade and Faye began to panic.

"No! Gren don't leave me again. Don't leave, god don't leave."

******************

She sat up sweating and looked around. She was in her old room and it was dark. Hesitantly she got out of the bed to find herself in an extremely long T-shirt and a bandage on her head. Attentively she touched it and winced as she applied pressure.

"Stupid shit," she cursed.

She opened the door and started walking towards the kitchen.

Faye opened the refrigerator and peered inside. Pulling out a bottle of water she sat down at one of the bar stools and opened the bottle. Lying on the counter top there was a cigarette. Not caring who's it was Faye lit it and took a big drag.

"You should ask who's it is before you smoke it Faye."

She turned to look at the yellow couch only to find the dumb ass lying there. Shaking her head she took another drag.

"Well I don't really care," she replied coldly.

The room's temperature had dropped drastically. There was pure silence. Nothing. Just a cold atmosphere around the two bounty hunters.

"Dammit Faye, ever since you saw me all I get is shit from you. Why is that?"

"Let's see Spike it doesn't take a fucking genius to figure it out. You know what I don't even see why I'm even talking to you. I don't have to explain anything," she replied.

"The same old Faye Valentine," he said shaking his head.

She was not the same Faye Valentine. She had changed.

"I am not the same as I was in the past Spike. People change. Well at least some of us do," she sneered.

"Yeah well you know what Faye it really doesn't matter if we change. This, everything it's all a fucking dream that you can never escape from."

"Speak for yourself. Maybe I don't wanna wake up. Maybe I like this dream of mine," she said.

"If you liked it so much how come you were getting yourself drunk?"

"What the hell are you talking about Spike?"

"What happened on Callisto? You think I don't know. I have contacts everywhere."

"You were spying on me? You son of a --"

"Yeah I already know what you are going to say bitch right? "

"Why the hell do you care what goes on with me?" she asked curiosity getting the best of her.

"Damn Faye you will never change will you? I now know everything. It's not that you interest me."

"What-- what are you talking about?"

"Your past. How you were put in the --"

"Don't say it. DON'T SAY IT!" she screamed putting her hands up to her face.

Spike stayed there staring at her.

"You were never supposed to find out about that. No body was supposed to know. Why can't you just die like you were supposed to Spike? Let me live the rest of my life in peace. Just go away dammit. GO AWAY!"

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?"

The lights flicked on and Faye was blinded. She turned her head towards the hallway and saw Jet standing there.

"Jet I'm leaving," she said and walked past him trying to suppress the tears.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO HER?" Jet screamed behind her.

Faye ran to her room and changed packing up all her stuff.

"He will pay," she muttered to herself.

She ran out of the room with a small duffel bag and passed Jet and Spike who where still arguing.

Spike stopped and started following her to the hanger. She stopped and didn't turn around but spoke.

"Get the hell away from me."

"Faye I'm --"

"I don't want to hear any more of your bullshit," she said pointing the Glock at his head. "I'm leaving and I don't want to find out that you have anymore of your little henchmen after me, cause if I do find out I'll make sure that none of their info gets back to you."

"Listen Faye I'm --"

"What? Sorry? No Spike save that for your precious Julia. I'm not putting up with your crap. I'm leaving and I'm going to find Gren."

Then she turned around and ran to her ship. Once inside she rushed out of the hangar. She headed for Earth. She had promised the kid she would pick her up so that's what she was going to do.

Her computer screen came on and Spike's face popped up. Rolling her eyes she turned it off. But he was still there.

"You are going to listen to me Faye."

"Bite my ass. I am NOT going to listen to you or any of your bullshit. And to think you could teach and old dog new tricks."

"I didn't mean to say that. I just lost it."

She didn't answer him. She didn't want anything more to do with him. What the hell was he after anyway?

"Look at me Faye."

She didn't need him giving her orders. She was just fine all on her own. She was a real woman no matter what he said. Gren loved her and that was what she needed. "Look at me Faye," he pronounced once more.

She turned her eyes down to look at the screen and waited for whatever he had to say. He would receive no sympathy, no forgiveness. Because of him part of her was destroyed and she would never be the same.

"I didn't mean to say what I said."

"Save that for the fucking priest Spike," she said.

"I have to tell you something."

"Don't you get it I don't want to hear you, I don't want to look at you, and I don't want to know anything about you. I just want you to fucking disappear like you did nine months ago. I don't want you alive."

Spike could see it in her eyes. She wasn't lying. She didn't want anything to do with him. Her eyes were like cold stones.

"I shouldn't have even tried. I knew you would start bitching."

"YOU BASTARD!"

She pulled out the Hackler and fired two shots into the screen. His face faded and she sighed. Great now she had something else to repair, not to mention it was gonna cost her from her own pocket.

Then realizing the stupidity of her action she slap herself. Dammit with out logging on there was no way she was going to find Ed. Great Faye.

Suddenly the ship jerked and Faye could see Ed's sign. She followed it into the atmosphere and ended up in the middle of nowhere. She looked around and saw two figures a few feet away. She opened up the ship and got out.

"ED?"

There was no answer but Faye was knocked over. Looking back she found Ed.

"FAYE-faye!" she screamed nuzzling Faye's head.

"Get off Ed."

Reluctantly the fire haired girl got off and sat down on the sand like a dog.

"HAIO! Did you bring Ed a souvenir?"

"No. I'm sorry Ed. Where's Ein?"

"BUT I WANT A SOUVENIR!" she whined.

"Ok, Ok, I'll get you a souvenir once we get back to the Bebop. Now where's Ein?"

"In the Faye-faye's ship."

"WHAT?"

Faye ran over and sure enough there was the dog curled up on the pilots seat.

"Stupid dog. Come on Ed we've gotta go back," she called behind her.

"Okie dokie artichokie," she sang with Tomato on top of her head.

Faye climbed in with Ed in the back with the dog. Faye took off and Ed was logged on. Once they reached the Bebop Faye opened the pod and got out. She followed Ed to the kitchen only to find her worst enemy there.

"SPIKE-PERSON!" Ed screamed.

He turned around and stared at her and then looked at Faye.

"I thought we had gotten rid of the kid and the mutt."

Faye smirked.

"It really shouldn't matter if she is here or not considering that you don't live here anymore," Faye explained.

"Who said I wouldn't come back?" He retorted.
