Search, Find, Run away

Faye turned in her sleep. Jet had already come back and started Bebop on the path to Mars where he would drop off Faye. He walked back into the living room and stared down at Faye as he sat in the armchair. She mumbled in her sleep.

" Why won't you leave me alone? Damn it Spike. Leave me alone or come back. Please don't...don't toy with me..." Faye cried, she rolled over and mumbled more words into the couch

" She will never give up. Heh, I guess we are more alike than I thought."

Spike sat quietly in front of Faye. She glared at him and looked around in frustration. He stood and walked over to her. Faye closed her eyes and took a deep breath as Spike rose his hand to her cheek.

" What do you want from me? And I swear to god if you say wake up I...oh god what do you want from me?" Faye cried staring up at Spike

" Faye I need you to wake up." Spike said

He barely finished the sentence. Faye pushed him away and swung to punch him. Like water he moved out of the way and grabbed both Faye's hands. She screamed as Spike pushed her against the wall.

" You can't win Faye." Spike chuckled against her cheek

" I can kick your ass any day." Faye said as she kneed Spike and kicked at his chest when he stumbled back.

Spike smirked and grabbed Faye's boot. Her eye's widened as she was twisted then tossed onto her stomach. As she started to get up Spike pushed her back down. Faye sat up as much as she could. He had her pinned on all fours. She couldn't help but smile. Faye laughed as he turned her over to face him.

" Come on Faye. Wake up." He challenged leaning in closer

Faye's eyes opened slowly. She woke up with Jet sitting on the coffee table next to her with a big smirk on his face. Faye was laying on the floor with her arms above her head and a couch cushion between her legs.

" Am I not so sure I want that couch anymore." Jet laughed

Faye blushed and stood up. Without a word she put the cushion back and walked towards the control room. Jet laughed even more and followed her.

" So you have been dreaming about Spike lately?" Jet teased following Faye down the hall

" If you must know, which I don't think you do, yes I have. And I don't think I need to talk to you about it." Faye said calmly

She ignored Jet's laughter and walked into the control room. Mars was in sight. Faye turned to face Jet with a confused look on her face.

" I thought we were going to Ganymede." She sounded a little angry

" What?! No, you're going to Mars. I already told you that." Jet said with an annoyed tone, he walked over to the controls and readied to request entry

" Why would I want to go to Mars? I'm going to Ganymede to find Julia." Faye said in a matter of fact way

" What!! Oh come on. Won't you miss the horse races? Best ones in the galaxy. You won't find those at Ganymede." Jet's sad attempt to get her on Mars only made Faye laugh

" Mars ISSP. State your-" The police officer started before Faye cut in

" Never mind. We won't be landing here." Faye walked out of the room with a small laugh to her victory

" There will be no living with her if she finds Julia." Jet grumbled and set the course for Ganymede

Ganymede

Faye started up her Redtail and looked back over at Jet. He was glad to be back on his home planet but not so happy that Faye would be gallivanting around causing trouble. Jet had hoped to leave all that drama on Mars. Jet laid a rag on his shoulder and glared up at Fay

" I'll be back in about two days." Faye said tying her hair back in a short ponytail

" Don't bother. The ship is mine. You don't live here any more. Alisa will be moving in soon and there won't be any room for you." Jet shouted over the engine

"Like hell! I'll see you in a few days!" Faye shouted back and took off

" DAMN IT!" Jet shouted throwing the rag down on the ground and stomping into the hall way

Faye smirked knowing that Jet was pissed off by her constant need to go against whatever he says. She also felt happy that she actually knew what she was going to do with this goose chase. But one mistake made her call for help.

" Calling for help so soon?" Jet asked when Faye appeared on the screen

" I uh...Where is this Alisa's shop? I mean, not that it has anything to do with this little search of mine cause it has absolutely nothing to.... just tell me where it is." Faye said exasperated with Jets little smug smirk

" Fine, not that it will do you any good. They are dead Faye just give it up."

" Not a chance. Now, about that shop."

La Fin

Faye landed the Redtail with a smile still planted on her face. Aggravating Jet pleased her to no end. The restaurant Jet gave her the cowardice to looked better than all the small houses around it. Polished wood and clean windows made it look new. Faye walked into the morning crowd of three old men playing poker in the corner and a couple drinking coffee at the counter. Faye sat down three seats away from them and waited to be served.

A young girl with an apron on finally came over to Faye after refilling the couples's cups of coffee for the third time. She seemed nervous and clumsy.

" C-can I help you?" The waitress asked smiling sheepishly

" Yes I was wondering if you've seen this woman? She's a...friend of mine and I'm having a hard time finding her. Someone told me she was here." Faye lied holding out the half burnt picture of Julia

" Oh yes her, she came in about a day ago. Bought a lot of whisky and left. It was our finest kind too. Alisa tired to tell her that they weren't for sell but she was willing to pay three times as much as they were worth. Paid in cash too!" the waitress shook her head and smiled still amazed by the incident

" So she was here? Great, is that all she bought? Did she say anything else?"

" Nope, just took the whisky and left. Drove off in a really nice car though. Looked brand new." The waitress began cleaning the counters seeing that Faye wasn't going to buy anything.

" Thanks, is Alisa in? I was hoping to talk to her too." Faye asked, as she got up from her seat ready to leave

" No Alisa isn't in for today. Yeah she said she was going to see an old friend of hers." The waitress said mournfully, Faye could easily tell that she wished Alisa were here instead

Faye nodded and left without another word. She jumped in her ship ready to boast to Jet about him being completely wrong. Jet appeared on the screen looking as pissed as hell.

" What the fuck did you do to Spikes room?!" Jet yelled, Faye bit her bottom lip thinking of an explanation

" Well.... okay here's what happened-"

" I don't wanna hear it, get your ass back to bebop."

" But Jet I-"

" I said I don't want to hear it. Get your ass back here. NOW!" Jet bellowed then turned off the intercom.

" Damn it!" Faye yelled as she headed off back to bebop

Bebop

Faye wasn't able to get both her feet out of the Redtail before Jet snatched her up by her shirt and pushed her against ship.

" What the hell where you thinking, lighting Spikes room on fire?! You had no right." Jet growled through gritted teeth

" Why do you care? He is dead, remember? If anything I saved you the trouble of throwing all that crap out."

Before Jet could respond Alisa walked in. Jet let go of her shirt with out her needing to say a word. Faye smirked a little knowing who wore the pants in this relationship. Faye walked over to Alisa and stopped when she is only a few steps away from her.

" Welcome to the freak show." She laughs a little and heads to her room.

" Well she is nice." Faye hears Alisa say with an inhumanly sweet laugh

Faye walked calmly into Spikes room seeing most the things in the room burnt. Even the bed had burn marks on the mattress and pillows but that didn't stop Faye from laying down. She stared up at the ceiling and sighed.

" After Jet calms down I will go to the car dealerships that sale really expensive cars.... or I will go to the bank...ask around. Full proof. If she is alive, I'm gonna kill her." Faye rolled over and tried to sleep, a place of solace she had found all too comforting lately.

Faye opened her eyes to a gun pointed at her face. Spike's face was twisted into a horrible frown. Complete loathing was all Faye could read but she wasn't scared.

" Why do you have to be such a disagreeable bitch?!" Spike asked as she poked the side of Fayes face with the gun

" I don' t know. Why do you have to be such a self-centered ass?" Faye smiled

Faye walked over to spike and lowered his gun. Pressing herself against him she laughed in his face. Spike refused to look her in the eyes.

" You might wanna put that away Spike, you could hurt someone." She started to walk away but Spike grabbed her arm and pushed her against the wall, only making her laugh even more

Faye smiled and pressed her lips to his. Automatically he let go of her arms and backed away. Disgusted he wiped his mouth clean of her lipstick and spit on the ground.

" Whore."

" Love sick puppy."

" Wake up."

" MAKE ME!"

Spike lunged at Faye. Roughly he pushed her up against the wall again and kissed her.

Faye's eyes opened to the smell of something good cooking. Her stomach had horribly betrayed her by letting off a loud growl. Jet and Alisa were sitting at the kitchen table eating beef stew. Alisa smiled sweetly when Faye walked into the room. Her smile was not returned.

" Good afternoon Faye. I went to wake you up earlier but you seemed to be having a good dream...do you know that you talk in your sleep?" Alisa asked as Faye made herself a plate and headed towards the door

Jet chuckled and almost chocked on his food as Faye stopped dead in her tracks. Faye only turned around a smiled.

" Yeah that is kind of funny how I tend to do that. It's almost as funny as the time he made Spike and I smoke outside instead of around that girl you brought around here a while ago. You know, that young girl who you were so fond off. You remember that Jet? Sure you do." Faye winked and walked out the door leaving Jet to explain himself to Alisa

Ganymede island cities

Faye walked amongst the crowd. This seemed to be a nice city to buy a big expensive car like the waitress said Julia had. From car dealership to car dealership and even the occasional big bank or two, Faye got nothing but weird stares and pamphlets for the latest cars. After buying a pack of cigarettes Faye started on her way back to her Redtail. Her feet hurt and so did her head. Faye walked sluggishly down the streets. As she tried to light a cigarette a man bumped into her and knocked her over.

" Watch where you're going jerk!" Faye shouted but once she looked up to see who it was, her face lost all color

Spike looked down at Faye and raised a brow in surprise then smirked at how shocked she looked. She stared up at Spike thinking that she was seeing a ghost. His smirk had haunted her for so long. Faye gasped as she realized that she had to breathe.

" Yo." Spike said calmly, he even put up his hand and gave Faye a little wave

Faye dropped her pamphlets and her pack of cigarettes and screamed. Spike winced a little and raised his brow at her again. She continued to scream. Faye turned around and kept screaming as she walked away. Her walk quickly turned into a run. Spike picked up her cigarettes and walked in the other direction.

A/N: Yay!! Spike-kun is back!! Oh Spike…*drools*
