Well it took a while to do but here it is.

Chapter 3: Introductions

After a few hours of me saying what happened and how I met both Spike and Jet I guessed they kinda believed me.

But their faces were telling a different story.

"So you were at home, just surfing the net, checking your mail and all of a sudden you end up in some lab and end up escaping and the rest we know." Spike said.

"Yes, that's exactly what happened, look I know it sounds a little farfetched but believe me if I had any answers I'd tell you." I answered.

"Ok, so what's your name kid?" Jet asked.

"My name is Travis Johnson but everyone just calls me TJ." I answered.

"Ok then…TJ I'm Jet, the proud owner of this fine vessel." he said.

"You mean this old and rundown piece of junk?" Spike replied.

I was about to laugh at that but I held it in as I saw the look on Jet's face.

"The joker over there with bad hair is Spike." he signified.

He gave me a small grin while lighting a cig with my lighter.

"The woman over there, is Faye, listen don't play any sort of game with her okay? She tends to…

"con me of everything I own?" I responded.

"If that's what your gonna call it, but just so you know it's how you play the game." She stated.

"The hyperactive little kid over…..well was there?

"Up here, Jet person!!"

"As I said up there is our hacker, Ed." he pointed out.

As I looked up at Ed she was right in my face looking deeply and just gave a big grin.

"You have nice hair, TJ person." Ed exclaimed before leaping off somewhere else.

"Don't worry bout her she's always like that." he responded.

"Don't worry I've met people weirder than her." I said.

"The dog over there is Ein, we found him after we were trying to get a bounty on another guy and ended up taking care of him." he said.

I just looked at the welsh corgi and he just looked at me with those dog eyes of his.

"And finally one of our newest members, Kira, just try not to upset her." he whispered to me.

She over heard us.

"Look ok!! I get it, I can take care of myself." Kira replied looking a little pissed off.

I whispered over to Jet and asked.

"Does she have issues, or is it her time of the month?" I asked.

He began to smirk at that re-mark as did some of the others, she however wasn't liking what I said and just walked off.

"Don't worry about her, she's always like that, and anyway you need to get some rest that wound won't heal up quick if ya don't." Jet said.

"But I feel fine, well more than fine." I said.

"You still need to rest, I can't let some kid walk around with a hole in his arm, and anyway I do owe you one for this." he replied.

So I did as I was told and I lied down and got more shut eye, the others left me to be in peace.

All I could think about was does anyone know I'm gone from home? Do they even miss me? Doubt it! Anyway I was useless my college work was overdue, I had broken up with my girlfriend after she dumped me for another guy and now I'm stuck here.

I awoke hours later to find that the ship was deserted, and I felt a few muscle pains, in my neck and leg area. I decided to do some warm ups by remembering my karate lessons I had as a kid.

Flashback

Keep your feet up..no..not like that

Yes!! That's it, you've got it keep kicking like your life depended on it!!

You must punch like the wind boy, punch with fire!!

End flashback

My sensei always told me to keep fighting like a warrior, never stop, never give up and never back down.

FLIGHT DECK

"What in the hell is he doing?" Faye asked.

"Looks to me he's training, guess I'm not the only man who knows martial arts." Spike said.

"Never thought he was skilled in those arts but still we all need to take a vote on what we should do with him." Jet announced.

"I say we just dump him on Earth." Faye said.

"Harsh, but I kinda agree with you…..mean we don't know much about him and he's got those guys after him I don't think we want that kind of trouble." Spike said.

"This is a first time from you two…agreeing with one another, but I have to disagree, he saved my life back there, and leaving him on Earth alone and unarmed would put his life at risk, but since he isn't really our problem why should we care." Jet replied.

They all looked at Kira but she just stood in the corner with the " no comment" look on her face, as for Ed she just typed away on her computer as normal not paying any attention whatsoever.

"Ok this is going nowhere we need to take a vote now….

LATER ON

I finished my training hours ago and was just lying down looking up at the ceiling and well waiting for something to happen.

The door opened and I shot up to get a peek.

The entire crew walked in and some of them looked a bit serious, I sat up and waited on what they had to say to me.

"Ok TJ we have all talked it out and we've decided to let you stay….only on a few conditions." Jet told me.

"One, you will now help keep this place clean." Spike said.

"Two, If you decide to take any bounties which we're taking you cut us in." Faye said.

"Three, don't piss us off!!" Kira said.

"Four, I doubt that I won't piss you off." I replied.

"Five, you'll wanna put a bullet in my head each time you see me, so don't count on anything you want." I said.

She just looked even more pissed at me but stood there saying nothing.

"Well that's settled, welcome to the Bebop and hope we don't try kill you before she does." Jet said.

I was in shock but now I couldn't believe it I am a member of the Bebop crew and soon I may get my first ever bounty.

Little did I know it was only the beginning.

So he's a member of their crew but what adventures will he have?

Reviews please.!!

But…when you look at it, it's another chance to start over.
