Author's Notes: I do not own Cowboy Bebop.
The next morning was anything but normal, well for Jet that was. He sat in their living area watching the television while Ed sat in her usual spot typing away, and Ein sleeping next to her.
Faye's bedroom door opened and Spike walked out of it, more like hobbled and went to the bathroom. Jet sat there baffled for a moment or two and then noticed Faye exiting her room as well and headed for the bathroom, Ed took no notice to any of the events that were going on.
Faye stopped and then noticed the door was shut, slowly she turned back around and headed for her room once again.
Jet couldn't believe what was happening, 'Usually there was bickering and fighting about the bathroom but Faye just gave up and left, just like that. And Spike coming out of Faye's room! What the hell is going on in here?' Jet thought to himself.
His mind was swirling in thoughts, thoughts about what the hell went on last night that he missed out on. He was getting too old for this; he tried shrugging it off and concentrate on the television in front of him.
But then the bathroom door re-opened and Spike hobbled out and went back to Faye's room; he heard some soft mumbling and then Faye exiting her room and going into the bathroom. Jet sat there scratching his head, feeling this would be probably the best time to talk to Spike without Faye by his side so he got up and headed for Faye's room.
Jet reached the door and slowly opened it, "Spike? You in there?" Jet whispered.
"Yeah, I'm in here." Spike said as he reached over to the desk to get his cigarettes.
"Oh okay, well do you mind telling me what the fuck is going on then?" Jet said raising his voice a little.
"Shhh no need to raise your voice there buddy," Spike said as he pulled out his Zippo and lit his cigarette.
"Well goddamn I have no idea what the hell is going on in this ship anymore! And it's my goddamn ship and I can raise my voice if I want to!" Jet said but even though he said he could raise his voice, he kept it under a whisper.
"Nothing is going on." Spike said nonchalantly as he took a drag from his cigarette.
"Bullshit nothing is going on. What the hell are you doing in Faye's room?" Jet asked getting irritated with Spike's sarcastic answers.
"Faye invited me in here last night because well, to tell you the truth I don't really know why." Spike said truthfully and exhaled a long line of smoke.
Jet stood there in the doorway for a moment baffled once again, he couldn't believe this 'thing' was going on in his ship.
Suddenly he was shaken from his thoughts when he heard a stern cough behind him, turning around it was none other than Faye. Slowly he moved from the doorway and let her in, but as she walked in she didn't take her eyes off of Jet.
"So what's the chit-chatting about?" Faye asked as she crossed her arms and looked at Jet curiously.
"Oh I don't know, maybe that I'd like to know for once what the hell is going on in my ship!" Jet yelled and stomped away from the room and headed for his bonsai trees. It was something to keep his mind off of whatever was going on in his ship.
Faye watched as Jet stomped off and sighed, "Well you need not to yell, big baby..." Faye mumbled the last 2 words.
"I HEARD THAT!" Jet said as he reached his room.
"Sonar ears..." Spike said as he made a beeping noise like a radar.
Faye giggled and then slowly walked over toward her bed, "I do feel rather bad for Jet, him having no clue what is going on. I mean I'm sure he does, but he is just frustrated." Faye said as she sat on the edge of her bed.
"Yeah, I suppose so." Spike said slowly as he reached for the ashtray and put out his cigarette and then rubbed Faye's back slowly, sort of comforting her.
Suddenly there was a knock on the Bebop's door, Ed was the only one who was now out in the living area so she ran toward the door and opened it only to find a little brown box on the outside.
"Oooooh! Present!" Ed yelled and then ran toward Jet's bonsai tree room.
"Jet! There was a present at the door!" Ed said as she reached the room, making Jet jump and cut off a branch of a tree.
"Jesus Ed, can't you be a little more quieter!" Jet yelled but then looked at Ed who stood there with the package smiling, "Thanks" Jet said and patted Ed on the head who ran away with hands out like an airplane.
"What the hell? Why do we have a package?" Jet asked himself out loud and looked at the box, which said F.V. on it.
"F.V.?" Jet asked out loud once again and then it clicked, "Faye Valentine..."
Jet contemplated whether or not he should give the package to Faye, I mean why should he, and he had no idea what was going on in his ship so why should he be a mail man?
But then he thought to himself, 'What the hell, I have no use for this package...' and slowly got up and headed toward her room.
As he neared it he noticed that the box was quite heavy and there was some sort of buzzing noise coming from it, he stopped suddenly.
"What the hell is this thing? Spike, get your ass out here!" Jet yelled.
Spike emerged from Faye's room and went to Jet, "What is it?" he asked.
"This came for Faye, any idea what is it?" Jet asked Spike, maybe he'd know something.
Spike slowly took the package from Jet and shook it a bit, he heard a buzzing sound and then suddenly something clicked. Spike's eyes went wide and he darted out the Bebop and when he reached the dock he tossed the package over the railing into the ocean.
Jet ran out after him, who was being followed by Faye now, "What the fuck are you doing Spike!" Jet yelled.
"Saving our goddamn lives!" Spike said and then got down onto the Bebop's deck; Jet and Faye did the same. Ed wandered out at that time and noticed everyone down; she wondered what was going on but mimicked what everyone else did.
The package hit the water and then there was an explosion. It shook the Bebop sending Ed rolling over to the edge of the Bebop almost falling over but Jet caught her hand and pulled her over to his side.
The Bebop settled and Jet began to stand up, helping Ed, "Someone's after Faye..." Jet said out loud a little worried.
Faye's eyes filled with wonder and fear, "What why? What did I do now?" Faye asked sarcastically but obviously afraid.
Today wasn't going to be a good day.
