Disclaimer: I could name all of the characters in this chapter that I don't own, but that would be rather boring. So, I'm just going to say (once again) I don't own any of them.

(Narrator): We find our heroes at the Bebop once again. Still, normal day for the Bebop crew. Ed is typing away at the computer while drooling profusely. Jet is "fixing" something "privately". Ein is taking a shit on the carpet.Faye is no where to be seen. And Spike is laying on that fugly yellow couch again.

"I'm hot." Spike said.

Jet walked out of the room he was working in and into the area where Spike was laying. "Oh, somebody's humble."

"What's up with you?"

"Oh nothing…only Faye took all the money we had in the safe and jetted."

"Are you serious? I hope she isn't doing this because of last night."

"Why, what happen last night?"

"Why the hell is it so hot in here?"

"You didn't answer my question."

"You didn't answer mine."

"She sucked out all the anti-freeze."

Spike walked over to Ed while she was sitting near the computer. "Ed, try looking for Faye."

"Found it!" Ed squealed.

"That fast?" Spike asked.

"Hm…what's this? Ed sees a name. JULIA!"

"Julia!"

Jet moved toward where Spike and Ed were. "Now, Spike, don't go doing anything I wouldn't do…which is nothing."

Spike began to shake Ed. "Where is she! Where is Julia?"

"Ooooo! Ed knows where Julia is! She's in Blue Crow in Callisto."

"Good, I'm going to Blue Crow. See ya!"

"But there are no girls in Blue Crow." Ed said confused.

Jet look perplexed. "Are you serious? Hey, Spike, wait up!"

(Narrator): At a small Jazz club in Blue Crow.

Faye was wearing her regular everyday yellow outfit but it was far too chilly for something like that in Callisto.

A tall dark and handsome man approached her. "Excuse me."

Faye responded, "No. I don't want a drink, I don't need your jacket and I surely don't want to see your little friend."

"One, I don't have enough money to buy you a drink. Two, it kinda does look like you need a jacket cause you sneezed. Three, I only show my "little friend" to men."

"So you're a fairy?"

"No, I believe you are the fairy. You're the one who sneezed were you not?"

"I guess?"

The man reached out and put his arms around Faye. "Here, take my jacket fairy."

Faye took a look around the club realizing that there were absolutely no women but herself inside. The man caught her pondering gazes. "You do realize that you're the only woman in Callisto don't you?"

Faye began to get up and placed the man's jacket on his shoulder while making her way towards the door. "Thanks, but I don't think I'll need your help."

Faye walked outside and got mugged by a group of men. Luckily, the man that she spoke with in the club was there. He took her hand forcefully and pushed his way through the group.

He smiled at her and said, "Now, I thought you said you didn't need my help?"

Spike yelled continuously, "Julia? Julia!"

"No, I'm Julius…not Julia. How may I help you there big boy."

"W-What the hell are you? You're hideous!"

"You're not looking too good yourself kiddo. But to be more specific…I'm a transvestite."

"What, this place can't afford real prostitutes?"

"There are no women here."

"No women at all?"

"Are you deaf?"

"If I was I couldn't be answering you right now."

"I did see a man named Gren go out of a club with a woman though."

"Who is Gren?"

"He's a sex…I mean sax player at the jazz club, Blue Crow. Well, toodles my pimp is here."

Faye found herself in a dim lighten-room with several pictures of the man's past. She asked curiously, "So why'd you bring me to your place?"

"Why did you go with me." The man said.

"Because I thought you were going to rip my hand off if I didn't."

"Huh? Oh yeah, sorry bout' that."

"Don't mention it." Faye began to pick up a small music box on the coffee table but the man snatched it out of her hand before she could wind it completely.

"It doesn't work. Tell me, why did you come to Callisto alone?"

"I've mostly always been alone. It isn't worth having any friends or partners who won't even bother to try to find you."

"Instead, you distance yourself from them. Am I right?"

"Ew…you're…right."

A moment of silence went on for about a minute but it seemed like an hour between the two of them.

"Do you wanna take a shower?" The man asked.

"Maybe…"

"Cause if you do I was wondering if I could join."

"Huh? I thought you said you were a fairy?"

"No, I said you were a fairy. Look, I'm going to go take a shower. Try not to be too curious if you know what I mean."

"I can't guarantee that."

The man began to walk to his bathroom but Faye stopped him. "Wait, aren't you going to tell me your name?"

"It's Grencia Mars Elijah Guo Eckener."

"I guess your parents didn't love you."

"Why do you say that?"

"Well, to give you a shitty name like that they couldn't have thought too fondly of you."

"Right…" Gren walked into the bathroom and closed the door and began removing all of his clothing. Then he turned the faucet knob and let the hot water pour down his body.

Faye (on the other hand) was busy examining the pictures on the wall. While skimming around she noticed a familiar face. Just then a phone rang. She chose not to answer it and a voice was heard on the answering machine. It said, "I'm waiting for you here at the vacant lot…hurry."

(Narrator): At the vacant lot. Snow is covering almost everything in sight. From a distance, Spike approaches.

Spike called out, "Mother! MOTHER! I mean…Julia!"

A man named Lin from the Red Dragon Syndicate approached him. "S-Spike? What are you doing here?"

Spike responded, " Mother! Are you my mother?"

Suddenly, a man approached from behind the shadows and darkness. "Isn't that from a children's book?"

Spike turned his head quickly. "Vicious! You used her name for deal? How dare you!"

Both Spike and Vicious reached for their weapons. Spike aimed his gun at Vicious, but Lin moved in front of him.

Spike cried out, "Lin!"

Vicious began to grin. "Julia was here…"

(Narrator): Back at Gren's apartment. Faye finds herself inside his bathroom just staring at him like he had a cat on his head and it was taking a shit.

Faye (shocked) said, "What the hell am I seeing?"

Gren replies, "Your seeing boobies and a penis."

"Ah! That was a rhetorical question you twit! W-what are you exactly?"

Gren then pushed Faye against the wall and blocked her right and left with his arms. "I'm both but I am neither."

Author's note: Whew! Lots of dialogue in that one. More Gren, Spike, and Vicious action in the upcoming chapter. Wait...that didn't sound right.
