Failing to find anything interesting to read other than Captain Spiegel's journal, Faye watched out the small window as the small island loomed ever closer through the window. After what seemed like an eternity, she heard the crew members lowering the row boats down the side of the boat, 'Finally, I can get off this God-forsaken ship.' She thought as she waited expectantly at the door for Captain Spiegel to come for her. Three minutes passed, nine minutes, fifteen minutes, thirty minutes; an hour. 'Where is he?' She thought, getting angry.
She sat by the window, and watched as the rowboats slowly rowed away towards the island, 'Did they forget about me?' She thought frantically as she tried to get the window open. 'Please don't leave me on this ship anymore!' Closed spaces, something she could handle for long periods of time, but not this long, the small Captain's Quarters had started to get to her. "Let me out! You can't just forget about me!" She screamed, starting to hyperventilate.
She continued screaming for a long time after that, before the door creaked open and a small, redheaded boy warily stuck his head into the door. "Hi, Lady-Person!" He called enthusiastically stretching the 'i' out in 'hi'. "Why is Lady-Person yelling?" He asked, tilting his head to the side curiously.
Faye stopped yelling for a moment, and wiped her face free of the crystalline tears that had fallen. "Who are you, little boy?" She asked, almost instantly regaining her royal demeanor.
He laughed and said, "Ed is not a little boy, Ed is a little girl." Faye's eyes widened. "And Ed's name is Edward Wong Hau Pepilu Tirivusky the Fourth." SHE said with a wide smile as she bounded into the room. "Who are you Lady-Person?"
Faye looked at the naivety of this small child with amusement on her face. "My name is Faye."
"Why is Faye-Faye crying?" the adolescent asked, her golden eyes wide with interest.
Faye laughed at the way this child spoke. "It's nothing; I just didn't like to be alone." Faye lied partially, truly not wanting to be left alone.
"Well Edward is here now, and Edward will not leave you alone, Faye-Faye." She said as she bounced around the room making weird noises.
"Say, how old are you, Ed?" 'What an unusual name for a girl, Ed, she even looks like a boy, and dresses like a boy.'
"Edward is 12 years, 9 months, 14 days, 6 hours, 37 minutes, and 54 seconds old." She said, carefully inspecting one of the charts on the table in the center of the room.
'What an unusual child...' Faye thought to herself. "Why are you here, Ed?"
"Ed was abandoned when Ed was younger, so Spike-Person finds Ed and takes Ed to ship. Then Spike-Person lets Ed play with the charts, and Spike-Person lets Ed plan out a game between Spike-Person and enemy ship. Spike-Person always wins the game thanks to Ed's genius planning, and then we get lots of gold for winning, and Edward gets a new toy!" She said, while opening up a few of the dresser drawers with her toes.
Suddenly Ed stood up, and looked at the door, as it flew open and Captain Spiegel walked proudly into the room. He looked down at the hyperactive teenager, "Ed, what are you doing in here?" He asked kindly smiling down at her.
"Edward was making sure nothing was attacking Faye-Faye, Faye-Faye was screaming very loudly, Ed was only worrying about Faye-Faye's safety." She said, as she stood up straight and saluted him, she still managed to look silly.
"Ah, I see, and why was Faye screaming?" He said looking over at Faye, who was absolutely amazed at the Captain's kindness to this young girl.
"Well...you see I…I…I have a problem with enclosed spaces." She muttered.
Spike laughed heartily, "Have a problem with small spaces? Why didn't you say so? I would have put you in the closet." He commented, a hint of jokery in his voice. (A/N: Random friend: Is 'jokery' even a word? Me: It is now…go away…) "Oh well, come, Princess, it is time for you to see your new home. You too, Ed, I don't like you being on the ship alone." Spike said as he turned and left the room, Ed following happily behind him and Faye looked around, unsure if to follow or not, but soon followed after the fiery redhead.

Well, yea, this is short, I know, but gimme a break…I've been writing from 2-4 in the morning, and It's while Full Metal Alchemist, Inuyasha and Cowboy Bebop are on. So yea, this isn't one of my best, but I just wanted to get something out there, to kind of get Faye off the ship, which was something I have really been having problems with.
Please IM me with any ideas you guys might have, because although I know where I am going, and what I am doing, I really would like to hear what you guys think I should do.
How do you guys think I portrayed Ed? I love writing her, she is so awesome, but so complicated to write, and Faye, a princess and Spike, a pirate? This is really interesting to write, so if you don't mind please review and tell me how I can improve and make this a better story for you.
Also, if you wish to speak to me, I always love to hear from you guys; you can IM me whenever you want on the following. AIM: senoritamafiosa MSN: and Yahoo: icemyth7 .
Also, if you would like me to read/recommend any of your stories, just tell me so in a review.
Detailed or not, I really wish for you to review and tell me how I can improve for you. And yes, I have run spell check, and yes I have proofread this, my problem is that I type so fast that I make small mistakes that the computer can't pick up, and I don't usually pick them up either. Well, I'll see you all soon. Thank you so much. And I'll try my best to update ASAP!
Lastly, I'd just like to comment on one review I got, I have heard that a few of you think that Paraíso Del Pirata was Julia's nickname. It's not; it's the name of the island. It means Paradise of the Pirate. But hey, that's a mistake even I would have made.
