A/N : I hope you like the story. I bet some of you are wondering why it took me two years to write a squeal. Well, it didn't take me two years, it took me about a few months. I just didn't post it because I am lazy. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the story.

Living Nightmare

1 ½ years later

" Breakfast is ready!" Jet shouted grabbing a plate and going over to the computer to eat and look for a bounty.

Ed dived at the food. It knocked on the floor but she still ate it with the help of Ein. Faye walked over to the couch by the computer with her plate. Sausage, bacon, sausage links, and toast.

" Ya know Jet. Just because we have the money to buy meat doesn't mean that's all you have to buy." Faye said poking at the hill of protein and grease on her plate

" Never happy." Jet muttered, " Are you gonna eat it or what? There is some Ramon in the kitchen. Give your plate to Ed if you don't want it."

Ed tackled Faye's plate before she could answer. Faye groaned as a piece of bacon hit her face.

" I was going to eat that but you can just forget it now. So what's our next bounty?" Faye asked wiping the bacon away and watching Ed devour her food.

" There isn't one right now.... we need to talk." Jet turned around in the spinning chair to face Faye

Ed stopped eating and looked from Faye to Jet. Faye groaned and wouldn't meet Jet's glare.

" Well hurry up and find one. I need a new pair of shoes." Faye said ignoring the statement Jet made about talking.

Lately Faye had been wearing black army boots with black bootie cut offs, a white tank top and a tight red jacket that went only just below her breast. Even Ed's attire had changed. She still refused to wear shoes but at least Faye got some pants on her. She also had to find a tighter shirt or else her new growth would keep flashing poor Jet.

" You just bought those and don't change the subject...I'm leaving bebop." Jet sighed and turned away from Faye

" WHAT?!?" Faye couldn't stay seated nor quiet as yet another change readied it self to wash over her

A piece of sausage dropped out of Ed's mouth. Ein sat quietly then scratched his ear with his hinge leg. Jet stayed quiet as well.

" WHERE IS ED SUPPOSED TO GO? WHERE AM I SUPPOSED...Why?" Faye's words only continued to spill out

" I already contacted Ed's parents."

" Ed only has father person." Ed spoke up putting another bacon in her mouth

" Your dad got remarried. And you have a...I think 8 month old brother." Jet said looking as if he was counting something

" Ein did you hear that? Ed has a family! Ed has a family! Ed has a family!" Ed sang swinging Ein around into the next room

" How long have you been planning all this?" Faye whispered, her hair fell around her face casting a shadow

" I'm going back to Ganymede. I'll drop you off at mars."

" HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PLANNING THIS?!" Faye shouted glaring up at Jet

" A year..." Jet fearlessly stared back at Faye, annoyed and tired he sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose

" What are you going to do Jet? Go off, settle down? Have a little house with a little family? That's not you Jet. I know you AND THATS NOT YOU!" Faye shouted in a growing rage

Ed walked back into the room with a sad look on her face. Jet stood and grabbed Faye's jacket. Ed screamed as Jet pinned Faye against the wall.

" You know NOTHING about me. You never have, so don't act like you do now!" Jet shouted, Ed was starting to cry

Faye pushed Jet away and punched his jaw as he stumbled. Ed screamed again and backed away as Jet fell to the floor.

" I know enough to say that I hate you!" Faye glared at Jet as he stood

Ed's small sobs were all that could be heard. Jet rubbed his jaw and stared boldly at Faye, determined not to continue this fight.

" I'm not Spike Faye." Jet said calmly and turned to walk away

All Jet heard was the clank of Faye's gun as she pulled it out of her boot. Ed's tears stopped and she hardly breathed.

" You...YOU CAN NEVER SAY HIS NAME!!" Faye yelled firing two warning shots at Jet's robotic arm.

Jet did a quick tuck and roll but still received a shot in the arm. Ed fell to her knees in disbelief that Faye actually shot him. Faye glared at Jet as she started walking out the room.

" Next time you will need two robotic arms." Faye quickened her steps once she was out of sight.

Finding herself in Spike's room, Faye lay down on the dust covered bed and tried to clear her mind. It had been three months since she last thought of Spike. Now her memories rocked her to sleep.

Cold again. Faye looked around for her clothes but she found nothing. Naked. In front of him. Spike smiled, he took her hand and made her stand. Faye blushed and looked out the window not wanting to meet his stare. Blue. Spike pulled her into a hug. Faye's eye's opened wide as Spike buried his head in her neck.

" I'm sorry I left you. But you did just fine. You're a strong hard headed woman and you seem to be doing even better without me there." Spike said softly staring at the wall behind her

" NO! No that's not true...You could have come home. I don't know what to do. Jet wants to leave. Ed is leaving too. ITS ALL HAPPENING TOO FAST...Why did you say you loved me. Why did you do this to me...to Julia? Damn it Spike why do you have to be so wrapped up in your self?" Faye pushed Spike away and fell back to the floor

Faye picked up a cover off the floor and covered up her naked body. Spike kneeled down and pulled the cover off. Faye struggled but he still won. She felt like crying as Spike forced her to look at him.

" I need you to-"

" No...no no no. Just let me stay here. I don't want to wake up. There is nothing there for me if you're gone. I just-"

" I need you Faye. You have to wake up for me." Spike tucked Faye's hair behind her ear, " Just wake up."

Ed shook Faye from her dream. Faye shot up and pushed the kid away. Ed winced in pain when hitting the floor. Faye looked down at Ed. She was sitting on one of the boxes and something had broken.

" What do you want Ed?!" Faye growled

Ed lifted her chin and challenged Faye's aggressive manner.

" Jet left to go fix his arm. Its late, and Jet wants you to pack." Ed said staring Faye in the eye without fear

" Well you can tell Jet and his slap happy ass that I'm not packing a damn thing and I hope that stupid arm of his falls off. You know what. I'll tell him myself. Get out, I need to get dressed." Faye said surprising her self by her choice in sleep wear.

" He he he Faye Faye sleeps in her birthday suite. Is it comfortable?" Ed laughed as she started out the room.

Faye threw her boot at the door as it shut. After dressing she looked in the box Ed fell on. It was filled with pictures and books. One of the pictures looked old and torn. Spike, Vicious, and Julia were all standing together. Happy and laughing. Smiling. Faye had the biggest urge to rip it up into tiny pieces then burn it. Black books laid under a thin layer of pictures with Julia and Spike on them. One of the books was open. Faye looked around and smirked.

" I'm not snooping. I mean, the guy is dead. I can look in his stuff if I want to. It was open anyways. Yeah." Faye said with a snicker as she flipped through the book to a page in the middle

Number 89

Faye stared at the paper for twelve minutes before she was able to steadily breath. She knew that Spike had a dark past but nothing like this. Killing a seventeen-year-old girl. All for the syndicate. Through out the book there were so many more cases just like this, all seemed to be more gruesome then the last. Faye threw down the book and stomped out of the room as fast as she could. Ed ran towards the room after smelling smoke. The whole room was on fire. The sprinklers came on but everything was still burnt.

Before Faye could pick up the phone to call Jet, it started to ring. Faye stared at the phone until it ringed for the third time. Finally picking it up, a lady with short black hair appeared on the screen.

" Hello, is Jet there?" The lady asked smiling softly

" Uh, no he had to step out for a little while to get his arm fixed." Faye said wondering what this lady had to do with Jet

" Well if you could just tell him that Alisa called and...Hold on. May I help you?" The lady asked someone who just walked in

" Yes I would like a three of your-" the customer said before Alisa hung up the phone

Faye stared at the blank screen for a minute. That voice rang in her head until the dial tone sounded.

" I know I have heard that voice before..." Faye said hanging up the phone and walking over to the couch to ponder over the voice

Jet slammed the door and stomped over to Faye. She had been sitting there for an hour. Jet's arm was replaced with a newer version. This one actually was the color of his skin and it looked like a real arm with lines on it but Jet didn't look happy.

" You almost killed me ya know. That bullet was this close to hitting a wire that could have-" Jet started before Faye jumped up like she was having an epiphany.

" JULIA!" Faye pushed past Jet and walked over to the phone

" What? What does Julia have to do with you almost killing me?" Jet asked following Faye around the room

" Its all so clear to me now." Faye picked up the phone and started to call the number on the caller id

" What so clear?" Jet pulled the phone out of Faye's hand and put it back in the cradle, " Faye what are you talking about. What does it have to do with Julia? She is dead."

" No she's not! When your girlfriend called, there was a customer and she asked for something. And I knew her voice. You don't forget that voice. That evil-" Faye grumbled and balled up her fist, she looked around the room in a crazy daze

" Wait a minute. Alisa called? When were you going to tell me?" Jet sighed and tried to contain him self from yelling at Faye, " So what now? You gonna go searching around for Julia? What is with you and dead people? You will just be wasting your time." Jet walked into the kitchen and chuckled at Faye's obsessions

" She isn't dead. I know that was her voice. Its like the voice of the kind lady that gives you a box of kittens that she was going to drown." Faye walked over to the couch and flopped back down, " You should probably call Alisa back. She didn't get to tell me what she was calling for...ya know...cause Julia walked in." Faye snickered knowing that would annoy Jet

" She just wanted to know why I wasn't there yet. Should have been gone but thanks to you I am late. ED!" Jet called out making Faye jump

" You could just go get her...lazy bum." Faye mumbled taking out a pack of cigarettes

Ed ran into the room covered in ashes. Faye frowned wondering what Ed had been up to. Jet frowned as well but didn't bother questioning her.

" Are you packed? Its time to go." Jet asked walking past Ed looking around for bags

" Ed only has tomato and Ein...Ed doesn't want to go home alone. Why can't Jet come with me?" Ed asked walking over to tomato then turning around to pout at Jet

" Your parents said they would be there to meet you. They are probably worried that you aren't there already. You will be fine." It surprised Faye that Jet was actually being nice. He sounded like a caring person for once.

Ed nodded and picked up tomato. Ein barked and ran after her. Faye waved goodbye and laid back on the couch. She closed her eyes for just a second and after hearing the door close Faye started to drift off to sleep.
