Faye Grumbled as she walked down the street. Life was a hopeless nightmare that never ends. She looked down at her outfit, an over sized blue T-shirt with a tight pair a blue Jean flares. She sighed, what wasn’t visible to the people passing by was the bikini she wore under it. She smirked, ‘If he thinks he’s getting a peep show from me then he’s way wrong!’ Though a bathing suit and underwear covered about the same, wearing a bikini was more acceptable.Spike answered the door letting Faye in. He grinned, “This is a first, I didn’t know you owned pants.”Faye gave him the middle finger and walked past him waiting for instruction.“Looks like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays.” He laughed and sat on the couch propping his feet up on the coffee table.Faye blinked, ‘What’s this guy expect me to do?!’Spike looked at her raising an eyebrow, “You can sit down if you’d like.” He pointed to the two chairs and sofa. Faye decided to sit in the chair across from him.“You know, instead of wasting time with your dumb drawings why don’t we work on our project?”Spike sighed, “We’ve got lots of time to get the project done, don’t worry Faye.” He frowned, “I guess I should start working on my ‘Dumb’ drawings now.” He smirked, ‘this will be fun.’“Gr! “ Faye stood up. “Where are we doing this?” she was getting really uncomfortable. She had no idea what she was supposed to do. Taking orders from a guy really wasn’t her style at all.“Why, right here,” he sat up and snatched the sketch pad and pencils from the table next to the couch. Faye played the helpless damsel in distress to ‘try and get out of it’. She knew it wouldn’t work, but she didn’t care, she was wearing a bikini not underwear and anyways, people have seen her in her swimsuit before. Why should it matter now?“Sorry Faye, you made the bet and I need a model. Personally I would have gotten a better model but not many good looking women work for free so you’ll just have to do.” He mentally smirked, he knew what buttons to push and what to pull.Faye screeched, “Are you trying to say I’m ugly?!” She turned red in the face with anger.“No of course not. I’m just saying there are better looking women out there,” he trailed off.‘Damn him! I am very God damn good lookin’! I’ll show him!’ Faye pulled her shirt up and revealed the bikini top tied tightly around her ribs and neck. It was plain black, but it looked damned good. She quickly slipped her shoes off and unbuttoned her pants. Spike watched happily as she undressed infront of him. ‘Women are very interesting creatures,' he thought. Faye finished tossing her pants at him and stood in all her glory. ‘Damn she’s got a nice body. Now if only she weren’t such a bitch.’‘I can’t believe I’m doing this. When this whole bet thing is off I’m going to kill him.’ Faye stood infront of him waiting for him to say something, “What? Speechless? I just have that kind of effect on people,” she flipped her hair back with her hand and stuck her nose in the air as if she were a goddess.Spike smirked, “You’re so vain. Sit down before your ego crushes somebody,” he pointed to the chair. She “Hmphed!” and sat down. ‘He’s got a lot of nerve...’* *It had been like what? Two hours?! Faye was getting tired of staying in the same spot. ‘Is my ass going numb?’ she wondered. “Ok,” Spike sat the sketch book down. Faye began to get up.“Oh no you don’t!” She stopped to look at him. She was going ask “what?” but he began speaking again. “I need you to remember that position, we’re just taking a break to get some food.”Faye grumbled, “Can’t you remember it yourself?”“You, my dear, are the one that’s to sit like that. Not me, so You, my dear, shall have to remember that pose. If not, I just start a whole new picture and take twice as long.” He smirked and started slipping his shoes back on. He had discarded them to get more comfortable. Faye began getting dressed. She noted how cold it was in his house. ‘I bet that perv set the AC on 60 degrees or something just to- er gah! He makes me mad.’Spike went to the kitchen, “Oh Slave girl!” he called.Faye grumbled and walked into the kitchen, “My name is FAYE!”“It’s whatever I want it to be,” he smirked, “Now make me some food.”“What?”“You heard me, get to work.”She mumbled under her breath, “slave driver,” and began to search the cabinets and fridge for food.Spike was laying on the couch when Faye crept in with a plate of food. It had a mixture of things on it. Most of which normally wouldn’t be eaten together. “I didn’t know what you’d like,” she sat the plate down and relaxed in a chair across from him. He looked at her as if he were waiting for something.“What?”He grinned, “Feed me,” he laid back with his hands under his head like a pillow.“ARGH! Men really ARE babies!!”Faye sat down next to the couch near his head. She eyed him as if that would break the spell she cast upon herself. Maybe if she stared hard enough the deal would be off.Fat chance.Faye sat dropping food into Spike’s open mouth like a mother bird would to her young. Her feet started to go to sleep and felt tingly. She moved uncomfortably. “ARGH! Get up!”“Hm?” Spike sat up to look at her.She sat on the couch where his head once was. Spike shrugged and laid back down resting his head in her lap.“What are you doing?”“Getting fed.”She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. ‘I’ll show him.’ She grabbed a hand full of chips and crammed them into his unsuspecting mouth.“Ah-mmph m oh!” Gulp. “What the hell, Faye?” he breathed, “I could have choked!”She smirked and looked away, “Why whatever do you mean?” she asked innocently.“You know damn well what I mean!” He slammed his fist into the couch. Spike grabbed a sandwich from the plate and smashed it into Faye’s mouth, nose, chin, pretty much her whole face. Her eyes grew wide, her lips gaping, “How dare you!” She spit out the contents of the sandwich. He laughed, in fact he laughed so hard he fell from the couch. Faye growled and kicked him in the side.“Ow!” Spike looked up at her frowning. Slowly a smile slid across his face and he grabbed her foot and dragged her down with him!“Lemme go!” She wiggled, pulled, and tugged but it was in vain for he never let go. His grip never loosened, and she was pulled down with him.“No!”“Ah!”They wrestled on the floor occasionally hitting something around them. Spike threw Faye on the couch and went to jump on her but she moved out of the way. Unfortunately Spike couldn’t block her hand when she smacked him as hard as she could in the chest.“Gah!” He feel off the couch cradling his chest.Faye jumped on him. Spike looked up just in time to roll out of the way. Fayes eyes widened as she came closer and closer to the floor. “Oof!” she landed with a thump. Faye looked up, Spike was laughing at her! She growled more and crawled over to him. She grasped his leg harshly and..“OOWWWW!” Spike screamed out in pain.Faye had bitten him. Faye was still bitting him. Spike pulled his leg from her teeth and got up. He grabbed her arm and chomped down. “OOOWWWW!” She cried out in pain! “Let go that hurts!”He stopped to look at her, “It hurts you, too? Wow here I was thinkin’ I was the only one vulnerable to getting bitten!” he said sarcastically. Faye scooted away to nurse her bitten arm. She examined it and screached when she seen the huge teeth marks in her flesh. “Stupid lunkhead! Look what you did!” She thrust her arm out infront of his face to let him see what he had done.Spike shrugged, “S’your own fault.”“GR! I didn’t bite you that hard!”“I’ll be the judge of that.”With that said Faye tackled him again trying her hardest to pin him down. But as it was Spike had a little more upper body strength than her and easily pushed her off. He rolled over and pinned her to the ground. Faye squirmed and wiggled but it didn’t help much. She stopped and looked up at him waiting to see what he would do. He just looked down at her with a knowing triumphant smirk. That damned smirk, always resting comfortably on his lips. Did he ever show compassion towards anyone? Faye scowled and turned her head so she was no longer facing him. “Give up?” Spike asked.
Faye tried again to push him off but only resulted in making his grip tighten and get heavier. She grunted trying even harder holding her breath as she pushed against his slender fingers. When she laid her head back down she felt light headed. Breathing heavily she decided on a new tactic...She looked up at him with the most seductive look she could muster. Spike was taken back for a moment but regained his composure and held tightly knowing it was just one of those womanly manipulative tricks.Faye smiled slyly and lifted her head so she was only inches from Spike’s. Spike stayed still knowing what she was doing and that it was just a bluff. His eyes narrowed and he studied her for a long time wondering if she’d actually try something.“What’s wrong Spike?” She asked smoothly ignoring the pain in her wrists held just above her head.“Who said anything was wrong,” was his calm reply.Faye licked her lips as if she were preparing to kiss him. “You wouldn’t do it Faye, I know you wouldn’t” He smirked.“I wouldn’t, huh?”Spike’s eyes widened as his lips were captured by her ruby red ones. In an instant he pulled away and Spike jumped off of her. Faye smirked, “You think I wouldn’t do it now?”Spike wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and spat out, “You’re crazy!”"Am I?” She smirked enjoying his discomfort.“Yes Faye, you need to be in a fuckin’ mental hospital!” He sat back against the couch drawing his legs up to his chest.“Aw...” she pouted, “What’s wrong with you Spike? You look, hm... Mad?” she raised an eyebrow. “Hm, maybe you jumped off me so quickly because ol’ faithful woke up.” Faye shrugged, “Guys are silly.”“Maybe I jumped off of you so quickly because I detest you, and having your lips on mine was worse then being in a small room naked with two gay guys!” He looked at her to see her reaction but got only a brief glimps of something.Faye gasped silently and disguised her hurt with a purely indifferent expression. Could spike hate her that much? Why, what did she ever do to him? Faye sighed and slumped over slightly.An awkward silence fell over the room for a long while. Neither looked at or said anything to the other. Just silence passing through the room.“Well, I haven’t finished my picture, let’s get back to working on that.”

* * *
Another normal, ordinary, plain, boring day at Bebop High School. Nothing special, except for the pep-rally. Mostly everyone who didn’t have school spirit skipped it. Which was just what Spike planned to do. It was a beautiful, bright day; way spend it in a dim, crowded gym? Bah humbug!“So when does the pep-rally start?” yawned Spike.“It starts sixth period, but the teachers wont be teaching a whole lot. We should just leave now,” answered Vicious who sat across from Spike at the lunch table.“You guys are going off for the rest of the day?” came a new voice.Both Spike and Vicious looked up to see Faye leaning over the table with one hand on her hip and the other on the table top. Vicious eyed her from behind his white bangs that hung over his face.“Yeah, what’s it to ya?” asked Spike leaning back in his chair to look up at her.“I dunno’, I was just wondering.”“Just wondering, huh?” asked Vicious throwing himself into the small talk.“Yeah, have a problem?” Faye rolled her eyes.“No, not at all.” Vicious sipped his cola.Faye turned her attention back to Spike, “Do you think I could get a ride with you guys?” she gave a small pout and tilted her head slightly.“You’ll have to ask Vicious, it’s his car and he’s driving.” Spike shrugged amusement playing on his thin features as a smile slipped across his face.Faye thought for a moment, “Well, could I get a ride with you?” her attention on Vicious now.Vicious looked at her, he slowly looked at ALL of her, “Hm,” he mused, “Where did you need a ride to?” he questioned.“Just over to the mall if that’s ok,” she shrugged her eyes wandering away from the table to look Vicious in the eyes.He smirked, “that’s just where we were going to go,” he trailed off looking over to Spike smirking slightly. Spike leaned over wondering what Vicious was thinking.“So I can get a ride?” Faye smiled and sat down next to Spike.“What do I get in return?” asked Vicious.Faye blinked, “What do you mean?”“Well, for my labor of driving you to the mall,” he rested his chin on his hand lazily.“But you said you were already going to the mall,” she looked at him in confusion. “Spike here is paying me for the gas, the other guys are are throwing in their share, so what are you paying me?”Faye sighed, she could give up lunch and give him that for gas money. Or she could eat lunch and forget the skirt she wanted.Interrupting her thoughts Spike cut in, “Faye, could you get me another cola?” Spike held up the empty bottle meaning for her to throw it away.Faye looked at him, “I’m not your maid-” she quieted, sighed frustrated, and took the empty bottle from his grasp. Spike smirked as he watched her walk away.“What are you trying to get out of her?” Spike turned to Vicious.“Nothing, just having some fun,” he shrugged.“Look, I’ll give you the extra cash if you want that, but don’t make trouble for her.”“You like her or something? She got something on you?” Vicious smirked, “What about Julia?” he grinned at that. Spike looked away, then back to Vicious, “She’s nothing compared to Julia, don’t ever compare that wench to Julia!” Spike gritted his teeth, “Faye’s just not the type of person you want to mess with.” Spike calmed down, “Besides, what’s she got that you want?”Vicious silently mused over Spike’s mood change in his head. It was really quite funny to see him go from one to another in a matter of seconds, which he rarely ever did. “She’s nice looking,” was all Vicious got out before Faye returned with Spike’s drink.“Nice’n cold,” she set it down in front of him before taking a seat next to him.Minutes passed by and nobody seemed to have anything to talk about. Well, before Faye broke it with a question, “Can I get the gas money to you another time? I’m short on cash right now,” she smiled innocently hoping to help her case.Vicious looked at her and decided it would be ok, “Sure, but I want my money by Wedsnday.”“Really?!” Faye burst with excitement. She jumped across the table and hugged Vicious tightly, “Thanks so much!”Vicious looked to Spike with wide eyes over her shoulder. He looked disturbed but as soon as she pulled away he regained his composure. Spike chuckled and sat back. “Oof!” he spat out as Faye smacked him in the chest.“No thanks to you,” she flashed him a frown before turning on her heal, “I’ll be right back, I have to go put some stuff away.”Spike looked at Vicious, “What are you planning on getting out of her?” he asked knowing Faye was out of earshot.Vicious smirked, “She looks easy, but other than that, she just looks really good.” Vicious grinned.Spike smiled, his eyebrow twitched but Vicious didn’t seem to notice. Vicious slurped up the rest of his soda and stood up, “I’m going to the car, when she gets back bring her out, I’ll be waiting, k?”Spike nodded lazily and relaxed wondering what Julia might be doing right at the moment. ‘Hm, wonder what happened. Maybe it was a vacation or something. She didn’t seem to happy though, most likely wasn’t a vacation. Oh well, she said she’d be back, I’ll find out then.” Spike sighed and was brought back from la-la-land when Faye shouted in his ear. Spike growled and swatted her away.“Where’s Vicious? Don’t tell me he went with out me!” Faye began to panic.“Calm down woman, he’s waiting in the car for us. Do you have your I.D. stamped to go off for lunch?”“I… I.D.?” Faye stuttered, “Stamped?”Spike sighed rubbing his temples irritably, “Didn’t you get it stamped?”Faye looked around scuffing at the ground innocently, “Was I s’pose to?” Spike grumbled and looked around, “C’mon!” he grabbed Faye’s arm and started dragging her through a crowd. They fought their way through and finally when they passed they turned the corner to head towards the parking lot.“Here,” Spike flashed a card in front of Faye.Faye’s eyes grew wide, “How’d you get that? I never seen you take it!”Spike kept looking straight ahead, “Don’t worry how I got it, you’ll need it. Hers was stamped and she looks kind of like you, all you have to say is you cut and died your hair, ya’ got that?” Faye sighed memorizing all the information on the card just incase. They reached the car in no time, they’d leave as soon as possible and go on their adventure to the mall. But first they’d have to escape school, and smuggle Faye out with them.Faye and Spike squeezed into the front seat together with Vicious. Faye was put between them because neither guy was willing to be that close to one another and Spike complained that he liked window seats. They would have sat in the back but it was full of Vicious’ friends.Vicious peered over, he had a beautiful view if he looked down. Straight down her thin yellow tank top! He grinned, she had long sexy legs and C’s. He looked up and noticed the time, “Let’s go,” he mumbled and started to pull out.Vicious slowed the car and stopped as the administrator leaned over to check their IDs. “Let’s seem them,” he said waiting for them all to pull them out. Everyone pulled them out and showed them to him, he looked over all of them and studied them to make sure there was a stamp on each one. He looked at Faye’s, then at Faye, then back at her card. “You looked better before you cut it and dyed it,” he waved his hand in a motion to signal them to drive off. Faye grumbled huffing, “Why! Erm! That fat head! He knows nothing about true beauty!” she crossed her arms over her chest angrily. Vicious noted how they were squeezed together plumping them up nicely when she did that.Spike laughed, “That guy’s a riot!”Vicious smiled, “Spike doesn’t seem to understand true beauty either.” Both Faye and Spike looked at Vicious, but Vicious ignored them and kept his eyes on the road.‘He seems so emotionless. I bet he’s really sweet though. He seems nice enough, but sometimes he gives me the shivers.’ Faye thought quietly to herself about the silent, white-haired man next to her.‘Vicious seems to be trying to get on her good side. Too bad she’s falling for it, oh well, she’ll find out sooner or later what kind of guy he is. He’s my best friend and all, but I have to admit the guy can really crush a girl.' Spike chuckled to himself thinking of how everyone of Vicious’ pick ups seemed to end badly.‘Hm, she smells nice. I should probably be paying attention to the road right now though. I’ll have to talk to her when Spike’s not around, seems like he might ruin this one for me. He should be hung up on Julia right now, hehe.’ Vicious smirked and continued driving.* *“Thanks for the ride!” Faye waved over her shoulder and started to walk away.“Wait,” Vicious grabbed her hand. Faye looked back a little worry written in her eyes.“How will you get home?”“Oh, I… Well…” Faye coughed.Vicious smiled, “I’ll take you home when you’re ready.”“Really?” Faye’s eyes lit up, “You’re so great! Spike, he’s so much more charming than you, how are you two even friends?”‘Sometimes I wonder that myself,’ thought Spike. Spike smiled wryly laughing sarcastically at her comment, "opposites attract."“Look, I have to go but I’ll, um… can I meet you in an hour at the pizza place in the food court?” asked Faye.Vicious looked at her, “Well, um…” sigh, “Ok.”Spike smirked pushing his hands into the pockets of his jeans.Faye waved over her shoulder and walked away towards some clothing shops.* *Faye went into Rave looking for the skirt she had seen a while ago. She hoped, prayed, and crossed her fingers wanting badly for the skirt to still be there. She hastily walked towards the rack she had seen it at before. Thumbing though the clothes she looked frantically for the blue jean skirt with the flower pattern down the sides. “No, no… that’s not it,” sigh, “where is it?!” Faye looked around the store quickly, she spotted a clerk and waved her over.“Yes? May I help you?” the blonde asked in a high pitched, bubbly voice.“Yeah do you still have this one skirt? It has a flower patter down the sides of it, it comes about down to your knees and, um… It’s a blue jean skirt,” Faye looked around nervously.“Hm,” the clerk looked around thinking, “No, I’m sorry, I don’t think we have it. We may have a few on the clearance rack, you may be able to find one in there.”“Oh, ok…” Faye saddened.“What size do you wear?” The clerk questioned.Faye blushed, “I can look for it, thank you.” Faye began walking away to venture in the clearance rack.* *Faye sat on the floor near the rack. Her hair was a mess and her eyes seemed to droop with tiredness. She looked up at the clearance clothes hanging above her head, she grimaced and sunk even lower to the floor. She slowly lifted her arm to look at her wrist watch, putting it down she let her head hit the ground softly.“What?” Faye got up checking her watch again, “Oh no!”She took off running out of the store to scramble towards the pizza place. ‘Why does this always happen to meee?’ she thought as she ran through the mall without the skirt she had gone to buy. She turned the corner without looking and bumped into someone. “Oof!” She fell landing on her butt harshly. She opened her squinted eyes and stood up not really looking at the person she had hit. She didn’t really care, but she apologized anyway. Saying a quick sorry she bolted off again in search of the food court, leaving the poor pedestrian confused and angry. “Where the hell?” she looked around spotting the pizza place, she took a second to register the information and took off jogging towards it. She slowed her pace and caught her breath taking on a cool composure. She looked around to see if Spike or Vicious had shown up yet, spotting neither of them she decided she might as well get a slice of pizza for lunch since she was there.Faye sat down with her pizza, she sighed, “So much for that skirt, I guess I’ll just give him the money when he gets here.” She took a bite out of her pizza and slumped over just a bit more.“Wow, you’re here early, for a girl in a mall. I thought you might be too busy running around with bags of clothes to notice the time.” Spike pulled the chair out next to Faye and plopped down lazily, he stretched before slouching down into a comfortable position.Faye glared at him, she picked a pepperoni off of her pizza and threw it at him. The pepperoni hit his cheek, stuck to it, and then slowly slide down to his jaw before falling off onto his gray T-shirt. Spike glared at her, his lips twisting to one side of his face; he picked the pepperoni off of his shirt examining the small orange stain. He took the thin slice of meat and roughly placed it down the front of her yellow tank-top making sure it was snuggly tucked in between her breasts.“Gr!” Faye growled and slapped him across the face, “How dare you!” she picked her drink up and splashed it in his face.Vicious suddenly appeared looking around amused at the scene that had just played before him. He chuckled to himself and walked over to the table. “What happened?” he asked.“That perv just put a pepperoni down my shirt!” Faye yelled and pointed at Spike who was irately trying to clean himself off. Angrily he yelled back saying she had thrown it at him first and that he was only paying her back. Vicious looked back and forth between the two as they started calling each other names and such. Everyone that was present in the food court quieted and faced the scene that had broken out. Everyone watched as they acted like small children.“Bitch!”“Ass!”“Slut!”“Pe rvert!”“Shut up!”“You shut up!”“Argh! I hate you! You’re such a baby!”Vicious felt the whole thing was humorous at first but it was getting old. “Both of you shut the hell up!” His eyebrow twitch.Spike and Faye both looked to him as the whole room looked on waiting to see what would happen. “Spike, you go to the restroom and clean yourself up. Faye, sit.” was all he said. Spike glared at Faye once more before stalking off towards the restrooms. Faye looked to the ground embarrassed and sat down without another word. Vicious sat down across from her, “That was quite the scene,” he chuckled. Faye just kept her eyes down finding her lap very interesting.The room seemed to go back to normal a few minutes ago but none of the three seemed to notice.“Do you two always fight like that?” Vicious asked.“Well, I don’t think it’s ever ended like that, once we started wrestling on the carpet in his living room but that ended. Differently.” She trailed off as she spoke the last word remembering exactly what had happened last time they had fought like that. “Hm, how did it end differently?”“Well um… It just didn’t end like this,” she said not wanting to speak of the incident.“Oh, interesting.” he said more to himself then to her.Spike returned unhappily. His hands were hidden in his pockets, his face bored and annoyed. He sat down next to Vicious not looking at Faye. The table grew silent and nobody spoke of anything when they all thought they might have something to say to the other.Moments passed and Vicious decided it was time for them to leave. Hopefully the ride home wouldn’t be filled with as much tension.* * *Set-chan
