After a tour of the Bebop, Edward finally led the group to the common room, where Spike, Faye and Jet sat huddled around a computer monitor. Standing in the threshold to the room, Sora was startled when Edward abruptly turned to him and the others, a long finger over her lips. With that, she ran at full speed toward Jet. She stopped with a jerk as she collided with him, her arms wrapped tightly around his thick torso. "Papa?" she spoke in her taunting voice.

"Ed," Jet grumbled. "We're trying to discuss a bounty, kid."

"Papa!" the girl said again, hugging him even tighter. Spike gave a restless sigh as Faye tossed her hair.

"What?" Jet asked, a little irritated.

"Meet Edward's new friends!" An arm that was around Jet's frame spread open in the direction of Sora, Donald and Goofy. The bounty hunters all looked up simultaneously at the three strangers in the threshold. Edward frantically waved an invitation to them and they slowly stepped in, one by one.

Jet gave a silent nod while looking the newcomers up and down. He'd told Edward not to let strangers onto the ship, but he assumed she was a pretty good judge of character. Spike quietly reached for the pack of cigarettes and a lighter that were on the table before him, peering at them as he lit the stick. He gave the group a nod as smoke emerged from his nostrils.

Faye's eyebrows curled in curiosity as she beheld the three travelers. "What a bunch," she mumbled under her breath. She put a hand on her waist, her fingertips scratching at her blue soffees. At that point, Edward ran to Sora and clutched his elbow. She pulled him closer, giggling and grinning widely.

"Meet Jet-person, Spike-person, and Faye-Faye!" Ed smiled as she pulled Sora closer to the crew. Donald and Goofy followed apprehensively.

Jet tried his best to at least appear hospitable, but his focus on catching a bounty was distracting him. When Edward finally released Sora's arm, he placed Ein on the floor. He straightened up, outstretching a hand to Jet, who he assumed was the leader of the group. "Hi! I'm Sora!" he said as Jet awkwardly offered a strong hand. "And this is Donald, and Goofy." Donald and Goofy each nodded in turn.

"Jet Black," he calmly responded. "I see Ed's made some friends while fishing, huh?" Jet replied, giving a sideglance to the hacker child. She grinned widely, her lips pressed over her teeth. "Sorry she dragged you three all the way in here, but we're actually kind of busy." Sora looked puzzled.

"She?" he asked quietly. Jet heaved a sigh while rubbing his head.

"That's right," Faye answered him. "Almost everyone gets it wrong. It's her name that throws people off."

"She had us all fooled," Spike said, his chin resting on his hand. Faye subtly nodded her head.

"You should come back another time, kid," Jet said, returning to the subject. "We're on a mission."

Sora's eyes widened and he inhaled with excitement. "A mission?" he said. "Well, why don't you guys let us help you out? Besides, we probably won't be able to come back any time soon."

"Gawrsh, we'd love to help!" Goofy chimed in. "What kinda mission 're you all on, anyway?"

"Not one you'd want to get mixed up in," Spike replied.

"Our line of work is a dangerous one," Jet continued. "You kids should get going if you know what's good for you."

"Dangerous?" Donald quacked indignantly. "Phooey! We laugh in the face of danger! You don't know what we went through before we got here!"

"Well, I doubt it was anything too bad," Spike answered.

"What?!" Donald squawked. "Why, I oughta-"

"Donald!" Goofy exclaimed, holding the duck back by the collar of his blue jacket. Spike remained in his seat, smoking and blinking with a twinge of irritation.

Sora stepped forward, placing a glove at Donald's chest. His eyes were focused on Spike's tall frame. "What kind of work do you guys do?" he asked calmly. "It can't be that hard, can it?"

"Well," Faye spoke, "that all depends on who we're going after. Sometimes it's a thief, or a computer hacker, or some kind of secret organization…"

"We know a thing or two about secret organizations! A-hyuck!" Goofy interrupted. Spike raised an eyebrow.

"Most of the time it just ends up being some wild goose chase and we don't get any reward at all. Kinda pathetic, really," the woman finished. Spike sighed a puff of cigarette smoke.

"We've seen it all, Ma'am," Sora replied reassuringly. Faye noticeably twitched at the address. "Uhh…?" Sora wondered nervously. He glanced over at Spike, who sat quietly shaking his head. The boy zipped his lip for the moment.

"Well Ed, it was nice of you to bring visitors," Jet said pulling up his wheeled computer chair, "but we do have some planning to do." Sora put a hand up to his auburn spikes.

"Ok," he replied dejectedly. "If you insist." He glanced at Goofy, then at Donald. "Let's go, you guys." The three travelers looked back at the three bounty hunters as they slowly turned to leave. As he was walking, Sora paused. "…Uh, how do we get out of here?"

"Ed will show you!" the little girl laughed, running ahead of the pack.

"Thanks, Ed," Sora said. "We're used to having a map."
