Author's Notes: I do not own CB. I'm sorry I haven't updated in like 8 days! I don't know what the hell I was doing!?!?!
Faye groggily opened her eyes and noticed that Spike was still sound asleep and it wasn't even morning yet. Slowly she lifted her head a little and checked the clock behind Spike.
'3:04 in the morning...' Faye thought to herself and laid her head back down onto the pillow.
She looked over Spike's face and noticed how peaceful he slept, but yet he had that something about him, like he still had his sarcastic side out while he was sleeping. It was odd.
Faye ran a hand down Spike's cheek and noticed that he didn't even flinch under her touch she smiled inwardly to herself. She had also noticed that Spike was so different around her when they were alone. Just the little things he'd do, Faye looked down at her side and saw his arm was still wrapped around her protectively.
This time Faye's smile shown through as she continued to look at Spike. Deciding it was time to stop staring she slowly shut her eyes once again and drifted to sleep.
Even though she was asleep Faye's mind kept running. Her dreams were jumbled together; her mind would flash from one scenario and then to another. One would be of Spike just laying next to her, holding her like he was now and then another would be of Sylvia saying that she'd see her again, another would be of Ed and Ein sitting at the computer, and then Jet would be sitting in his bonsai tree room contently.
And then finally her last shot of her dreams was herself, when she was younger. Just staring at her. This dream seemed to last a little long then the others, slowly older Faye outstretched her hand and cupped younger Faye's cheek.
"I will always be here cheering for you." The younger Faye said as she placed a hand above Faye's heart.
Older Faye's eyes began to get watery and she broke down. She fell to her knees and began to weep; younger Faye got down next to her and slowly wrapped her arms around herself only older.
"Like I said, I will always be cheering you on." The younger Faye said and then stood up and gave a small smile and the dream slowly disappeared.
Faye woke up in an instant, cold sweat dripping down her cheeks. She looked over to her side and noticed that Spike had already gotten up, so that must mean it was morning.
Faye sat up and took a deep breath, and then slowly placed her hand on top of her heart.
"You okay?" Spike asked as he entered the room holding a mug of coffee.
Faye looked up surprised and then took another deep breath, "Yeah I'm fine just a weird dream," she said.
Spike only nodded, "There's coffee in the kitchen if you want some." He said and then began to exit.
"Thanks," was all Faye said as she slowly got out of bed and headed to the kitchen.
Spike seated himself on the yellow couch and began to flip through the channels as Ed tapped on her tomato. Ein followed Faye into the kitchen and then sat patiently by his bowl, which did not have any food in it.
Faye opened a cupboard and grabbed a mug and began to fill it with coffee. She was about to leave when she heard a small bark; she turned around and noticed Ein holding his empty bowl in his mouth.
"Ugh, no one fed you?" Faye said irritated as she walked back into the kitchen setting her cup down and opened the fridge to get a can for him.
She brought the can out and noticed Ein's ears perk up just a little more then they already were, and he began to walk toward her. Faye opened up the can and got a fork and stabbed a piece of the meat and was about to put it in her mouth and then smiled wickedly as she noticed Ein's ears drop.
"I won't do that to you again if you don't chew up my boots," Faye asked the hound.
Ein's ears perked up once more and Faye took that as a yes, "Alright then." Faye said as she took the bowl out of Ein's mouth and forked the food into the bowl.
"Remember our deal," Faye said as she grabbed her mug and walked out of the kitchen leaving Ein to gobble up his food.
Faye yawned as she walked into the living area of the Bebop and sat down next to Spike and sipped her coffee.
"So where is Jet?" Faye asked and took another sip.
"I don't know, I looked for him this morning and he wasn't anywhere in sight." Spike said as he set his mug down onto the table.
"He went out to look for something!!!!" Ed said as she fell onto her back and wiggled her toes into the air.
Spike and Faye both looked at Ed oddly and then at each other, "Thanks Ed." Faye said and drank her coffee.
Spike stretched and got up heading for the kitchen, you could hear Spike put his mug into the sink and then he exited. He headed for his room and grabbed his clothes and went into the bathroom.
"Hey, don't use all the hot water lunk head!" Faye screamed as she finished off her coffee.
"I'll try not to," Spike said and winked at Faye.
Faye merely shook her head and sighed, she needed to wake up earlier and get into the shower before his ass did.
