Welcome to Bebop: "Shopping Time"- Chapter 3
"WWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Will you shut the baby up!" Faye yelled, hoping the boys understood what she said. With his ear muffs on, Spike frantically tries to cheer the baby up by gently patting his back and rocking him to and fro.
"What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything!" Faye answered back with a loud yell, making the baby even more upset.
"Stop it! You're making cuddle-wuddles make puddles!" Ed cried out loud with her arms in the air. And to make things even more worse in the Bebop... Ein's barking, causing more loud chaos in the ship. With everyone running around, trying to cheer the baby up, a light bulb appeared above Jet's head, which made him run out of the chaotic area.
"Where is it? Oh! I know it gotta be around here, somewhere?! Ah! Found it!" Jet smiled as he picked up an object he was looking for and hurried off towards the distant cry of an upset baby.
The baby squirmed in Spike's arms, soaking his shirt with tears.
"Give the kid some food! Maybe he's hungry!!!" yelled Faye
"I found the cure!!" Jet called out, while jogging towards the crew with a set of keys jingling up and down. He came with a halt and smiled above the baby and start shaking the keys and making babyish voices. The crying stopped and the baby's attention was towards the keys. Hypnotised by the key's chiming sound, the baby lifted its small chubby arms, trying to reach it. Relieved sighs filled the ship as everyone relaxed. Faye cautiously removed her hand away from her ears and blinked at the baby then at Jet. She raised her arms in praise
"Finally! I can get some peace!!"
Jet let go of the keys, letting the baby to play with them. Spike looked down at the now cheerful baby, then looked at Jet and twitched with realisation.
"Jet... Aren't those my keys?"
"Hmm..." Jet peered down at the baby holding the keys and biting it with its gums. "Ah... So it is... Well that's what ya get for bringing along another member" And with that Jet left Spike and attended to the cockpit of the ship. Spike watched Jet walked off and resumes back to the baby, who was happily drooling over his keys. Spike twitched even more and sighed in defeat.
The ship had finally landed on the Martian ground, with a stop the crew climbed off the ship- ready to face the city of Mars.
"Ok Spike and Faye, you guys go and buy things for the baby. Ed and I will go and get some food. Meet ya guys here at five and don't spend anything expensive," Jet ordered
"Yeah, fine" replied Spike with his casual look on his face. The crew split up and began their shopping duties. Spike, Faye and the baby (strapped onto Spike) wandered among the stalls searching high and low for something cheap to buy for the baby. Few moments later Spike and Faye were able to buy 3 baby items: A blue binky ((think of Koenma's binkie from Yu Yu Hakusho, but it's just ordinary)),'Bob the Builder' baby bottle and a 'Care Bears' baby blanket.
"Wow, glad we got these for a good bargain" Said Faye in content
"That's cause they're from the twenty-first century" mumbled Spike as he carried the baby's items and the baby himself. Faye shot a glare at Spike and accidentally bumped into an old woman
"Oh sorry ma'am"
"Oh... That's all right dear. My what beautiful child you have!" exclaimed the woman "Oh! And you must be the father, I can see the resemblance" The woman smiled at Spike and Faye
"You've gotta be kidding me!" yelled Faye in embarrassment and disgust "We're NOT married! You crazy grandma!!"
"Oh my... I'm terribly sorry, uh... Excuse me..." Frightened as hell the old lady hurriedly walked across the street. Keeping in mind to keep her mouth shut and to stay away from couples, from now on. Spike twitched and continued to find more things for the baby. Looking around with wonder, the baby stared at everything around him. With a wide cute smile the baby spotted a giant adorable soft blue teddy bear. Noticing the baby's smile and look of 'I want that!' Spike looked down at the baby, wondering what he wants.
"Hmm? What? What do you want?" he asked the baby. The baby smiled with glee and pointed the giant cute soft blue teddy bear at a stall on Spike's left
"Spike... He wants a toy" replied Faye. Knowing her woman's intuition she had a bad feeling about this 'toy' idea... So doing the baby's request Spike and Faye headed towards the store the baby pointed. Not really paying attention to what the baby really wanted Spike picked up a 'Hello Kitty' soft toy (( coughs cheap coughs)) and held it in front of the baby's face
"You want this one?"
The baby shook his head and tried to reach out the soft toy he desperately wanted.
"Oh, that one..." Spike said out loud to himself and looked for the owner of the store "Hey mister, can you tell me how much that giant blue bear cost?"
"500 Woolongs"
"5-500!"
"Yeah, that's right... 500. Look if you don't have enough money to buy it, then go somewhere else" yelled the stall owner.
"Asshole" mumbled Spike as he walked off with Faye beside him. Noticing he's moving away from his giant soft toy, the baby began to cry.
"Oh... No... C'mon" whined Spike. Faye sighed and shook her head muttering underneath her breath about moving out.
"SSSSSPPPPIIIIIKKKKKEEEE!!!!!!"
The whole crew winced as Jet yelled his lungs out, except the baby who's too busy playing with his new toy... Thanks to Spike. "Do you realise we need all the money we need to survive? Every single Woolong is depended on our survival and you just decided to waste some of it for... HIM?!" Jet furiously pointed at the baby, with his face written 'I'm gonna kill you'.
"Jet... Calm down... It's just 500 Woolongs... We can get more Woolongs, if we catch more bounties" Spiked said calmly, trying to keep his cool.
"With 500 Woolongs, you could've bought something useful! Like a cot or even a one of a kind 56XW revolver!"
"WWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! Playing with cuddle-wuddles is so fun! I like big blue thing!" cheered Ed, while happily playing with 'cuddle-wuddles'. As usual Ein barked with an agreement as he kept an eye out for Ed and the baby. Jet and Spike sweatdropped as they were both interrupted by Ed's radical randomness. Faye entered in the scene with her wet hair wrapped up in a towel, like a turban.
"You know what?"
"Faye... I don't have time with your complaints!" said Jet in agitation.
"Geez... I was just thinking what are you gonna name the kid, you can't have Ed calling him cuddle-wuddles" sighed Faye as she promptly sat on the couch.
"Hey, what's wrong with cuddle-wuddles?" blinked Ed, having no idea why cuddle-wuddles would be an unsuitable name to call someone as their real name. Everyone (except Ed, Ein or the baby) looked at Spike, waiting for him to say anything. Noticing an odd silence between himself, Jet and Faye he raised his eyebrows and simply said
"What?"
