I don't own Cowboy Bebop and I don't wanna cuz if I did then it would be the flop of the millennium. ((hehehehe…))

Oh yeah!! I forgot. When you imagine Faye then imagine her like what she looked like before the accident! I can't imagine like how she is after the accident. She seems a bit more older.

A Sunny Day. ((Couldn't think of anything else!))

"OHAYO GOZAIMASU!"

Faye opened her eyes to look into golden amber pools. Strands of soft, fiery red hair tickled her nose. Faye screamed in sudden confusion and pushed the thing away which leaned on her. She heard a soft thud. She got up and scanned the floor.

She saw Ed curled up into a ball on the foot of her bed.

"Edo!!"

She ran to her younger sister. Ed looked back at her with huge watery golden pools. "It hurt, Faye-Faye Nee-san!"

Faye's jade eyes soften for a moment, "Edo, I'm sorry but you shouldn't have jumped on me like that. You scared me."

"Papa-papa calling for dinner." Ed said nursing her ankle where she had gotten hurt.

Faye got up and walked downstairs with Ed by her side. She looked at an elderly man. "Oh, good morning, Faye." He said.

"Good morning, Papa." Faye said. "Faye," said the former ISSP officer. ((A/N: You guessed it!))

"Yes," Faye said looking up from her bowl of cereal.

"Your friends are waiting for you in the living room," He said quietly.

Faye looked at him with confusion for a moment…then…her eyes widened. "WHAT?!!! What's the time, papa?"

"8:10."

"Oh my gosh!! We have to go to Andy's beach house!! We had to leave at 6:30!!" she screamed. She rushed in the living room in her pajamas.

The small group which sat there looked up.

Silence…

Faye realized that they were literally staring at her. Who wouldn't? She was dressed in her stupid bunny night suit and had fluffy bunny slippers on and the violet well- kept curtains around her heart shaped face were tousled.

A small pink tinge appeared on her pale cheek. She scanned the reactions on the faces.

Andy sat there in a gentleman like manner. He looked surprised. His mouth dangling. He suddenly realized that that was not how a gentleman should appear. He averted his gaze and closed his mouth forcibly.

Spike sat with his lanky legs apart. One elbow rested on his knee and his palm cupping his face. He had a magazine in the other hand which dangled from the other knee. He had a boring look on his face. He just stared like with that boring look.

Julia sat straight with her hands on her knees which were pressed together. Her sun kissed bangs tickled her face but she made no movement to push them back. She tried to smile but it only came as a vague attempt to stop oneself for feeling awkward making her feel more awkward.

Vicious didn't give a damn. He just looked up and then turned back to the newspaper which he had in his hand.

Lin just stared. He had his customary serious expression on his face. He looked away after sometime. Faye could sense what he had in his mind. Judging from his expression it looked like Oh-how-stupid-and–carless-can-a-person-be-and-how-I-wish-to-give-him/her-a-good-scolding.

Shin looked up from the cook book he had been reading and smiled as vaguely as Julia had making Faye and him to feel more awkward.

"You're 1 hour late." Spike muttered boringly. Faye snapped out of her thoughts and bowed. "Sorry!! I'll be ready in a few minutes!!" and she rushed upstairs.

"Oh my goodness! We're really late. Good thing Edo's ready." Shin said as he checked his watch.

Ed came running to Shin.

"SHIN-SAN!!!"

She hugged him. "Shin-san gimme ice-cream. I sleep yesterday!!" Ed said as she got off him. Shin smiled, "Edo, you had to sleep. You're a growing child and you need sleep!"

Ed glowed. She loved to get Shin's attention. She absolutely adored him. He was so nice.

"Edo, Where's your bag?" he asked. Ed ran off to her room and brought out a huge bag. She staggered a bit due to the weight of the bag. She shoved it near the foot of the sofa almost crushing Vicious' foot. He moved his foot away just in time.

Ed noticed this and looked at Vicious.

"Gomen-Gomen, Vishi-Vishi-us!" she said. Vicious nodded slowly and muttered, "It's ok."

Ed cracked a smile which extended from one ear to another.

Faye rushed down suddenly. She panted hard.

"I…I'm ready!" she said gasping heavily.

"Took you long," Andy said.

Faye glared at him. "Shut up!" she said.

"Shall we leave now?" Spike asked with the same boring expression. Andy nodded.

Jet entered the room. He thrust a package in Faye's hand. "Here is the lunch I made for all of you! Take it." He said.

"Thanks, papa!" Faye said and hugged Jet. Ed gave Jet a kiss on the cheek.

"Ed will miss Papa-papa!" she said teary eyed. Jet caressed her cheek.

"Edo, you'll have so much fun with all of them! You'll not miss me. Besides, before you know it 1 week will just pass." He said. Ed nodded. Faye gave him the phone number of the house. "Here it is, papa", she said. "Call me when you reach there!" he said.

"Bye, Mr.Black!!" Everyone said. They got into the van. It was Andy's.

"Take care, you all and have fun!" he said as he closed the door of the van.

Andy started the car.

"Bye!!" Faye shouted as she waved. Jet waved till he saw the car disappeared. Faye rolled up the window of the van since Spike had put on the AC.

Julia took out her hair brush and started brushing her honeydew locks. "How long is it going to take, Andy?" she asked.

"Hmm…about 5 hours." He said taking care not to distract himself from the road. "5 hours?!!" Faye exclaimed.

"Yes, Faye, that's why we had to leave at 6:30. But you were late!" He said.

"Why didn't you guys wake me up!!?" Faye asked hotly. "We were waiting for you at Andy's house. If you remember, Faye, we had decided to meet at Andy's house," Spike said as he lowered the temperature of the AC.

"The best thing," Julia said, "is that Ed called Andy up to tell us that you had not woken up. Then we decided to come to your house."

Faye looked out of the window indignantly. ((A/N: the window is still closed due to the AC))

There was silence for a few minutes.

"Faye," Andy said, "Don't sulk like that."

Faye's features soften. She stooped forward to look at Andy.

"Thanks, Andy," She said.

Andy smirked, "You better not sulk in the public cuz you look worse than ever when you do that!"

WHAM!

Faye smashed a mallet into his head.

"ANDY! WATCH OUT!" Spike shouted as a truck headed towards them. He quickly caught hold of the steering wheel and steered towards the other side. The sudden jerk caused all of them collide with each other.

Andy pressed the brakes. They stopped. Everyone gasped. Spike turned to Andy.

"You idiot!! You could have gotten us killed!!" Spike said.

"It's not my fault! It's Faye's! She got me distracted!" Andy shouted back. Faye barged in.

"What do you mean?!! It's your fault, Andy!! You shouldn't have teased me like that, you idiot!!"

They began to fight. Suddenly they were stopped by sniffing noises. They looked into the back seat to see Shin bending over something.

On getting a closer look Shin had Ed in his arms. The poor girl was crying profusely. Shin was trying to comfort her by whispering something comforting to her.

Guilt suddenly crept over Faye. She bent laying her body weight against the seat. She brushed Ed's hair. "What happened, Edo? You hurt?" she asked in a soft voice. Ed looked up. Her eyes were red and puffy. She pointed to her knee. It was bleeding.

Shin looked at Faye. "Her knee bumped into the something sharp." He said.

Faye put a hand on Ed's head. She then removed her hanky and motioned Shin to give her a bottle of water. Shin somehow, with Ed in his arms, opened his backpack and took out a bottle of water.

Faye took it and poured it out on the hanky and handed it to Shin. Shin asked Ed to sit properly on his lap. Ed sat properly. Shin dabbed her wound with the hanky. She squealed every time it made contact with her wound.

"Shh…Ed! Be a brave girl!!" Faye said. Ed nodded and tried to smile. Faye smiled.

She sat back on her seat and noticed that Andy was already driving.

Everything was silent for half-an-hour. Andy suddenly gave an exclamation.

"Hey, guys!!! Why all of you so quite?!! Cummon, let's sing a song!"

Faye smiled, "Right, that will be fun!"

Ed looked up and started singing in a shrill, crooked voice.

'Ringa ringa twinkle,

Pockets full of plum-pie,

Husha-busha!

What a good Ed am I!!!"

She stopped and looked at everyone. Silence…one…two…three…

"BHWAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

"Oh my, Edo!!" Shin said clutching his stomach and trying not to laugh.

"You sing really…well!!!!!!!!!!!" Julia burst with Faye.

Spike turned back. "That was too good, Ed!"

Andy tried to concentrate on driving. He couldn't help laughing at the song. "Imagine someone having plum-pies in their pockets!!!" Spike said laughing.

"I wonder who taught her to sing." Lin said. Vicious just looked away as usual.

"Edo!" Spike called from his front seat.

"Yes, Spi-spi-Spike?" she asked.

"Sing a song on Vicious!" Spike said. Everyone stifled their laughter.

Ed started but Lin stopped her. "Don't!" he said gasping for breath, "I'll die!" He was still clutching his stomach.

"OKA!!!!" Ed said. ((A/N: No, I've not forgotten 'Y' in here. Just pronounce this word like it's written and it'll seem like one of Ed's word!))

They started cracking jokes and soon it was lunch time. Andy stopped the van.

"How about sitting there?" He pointed out to a patch of grass. They were on the outskirts of the city and it was beautiful. The grass was lush and refreshing to look at.

Julia and Shin spread out a picnic blanket and all of them sat down to have lunch.

Jet had given sandwiches. They were quite tasty.

"Hey, Faye, your dad really makes the most heavenly food," Julia said as she bit into the juicy sandwich. ((A/N: I'm getting hungry now…))

"YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!" Ed commented.

"Stop it, Ed," Faye said.

"Hmmmm…Shin-san," Ed said. "Yes, Edo?" "When will Shin-san bring ice-cream for Ed?"

"Hmmm…when we'll reach there I promise to buy you an ice-cream." Shin said.

"Yaaaayyy!!!" Ed began to dance in the grass making everyone laugh.

They soon packed everything up and then it was Spike's turn to drive. Everyone was tired and started to sleep.

The van was quite. It drove through farms and lovely grassy areas. After about an hour or two…Spike smelled the sea.

"Hey, guys!!!! Wake up!!!" He shouted, excited.

Andy rubbed his eyes. "What, Spike?" he asked sleepily.

"THE SEA!!I can smell it!! The sea!!"

Everyone got up to look around. Spike stopped the car. Everyone got out of it.

As soon as they got out fresh, salty sea breeze blast on their faces. What stood in front of them was mind blowing.

The golden sunshine…the white sand and…the blue-green sea.

Ed's eyes widened.

"Faye-Faye Nee-san, kireii desu ne?" Ed whispered her eyes wide with awe.

"Hai…so desu…"Faye whispered.
