Prologue - The Loony Bin Otherwise Known As The Bebop
"DINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDING!!!" screeched Ed, crashing into a pair of strong shoulders from off a ceiling pipe.
Spike Spiegel fell flat-out on the floor with Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV sitting happily in the center of his back. Ein, the silent sage of a Welsh corgi, hauled himself up into Ed's lap and settled down, snuffling. Spike was struggling with all he was worth, trying to throw the child hacker and her irritating genius dog off him before Ed snapped his spine.
"GAH!!!" yelled Spike, still trying to throw Ed off him. "ED! Get the hell off me! You're breakin' my back!"
"Sorry Spike-person," chirped the crazy monkey-child, bouncing just a little for good measure and earning an irritated growl from the hapless bounty hunter under her rump. "But Ed thinks Spike-person is a comfy seat! Ein thinks that too!"
"ED!!" roared Spike, going completely rigid with rage. "If you weren't a little girl, I'd strangle you! AND IF YOU DON'T GET OFF MY EFFIN' BACK RIGHT NOW, THE FACT THAT YOU'RE A KID WON'T STOP ME!!!"
Ein jumped out of Ed's lap, landed with a *thud* and scuttled away to hide under the ancient, battered yellow couch. The door to Faye's room banged open and an irate Faye Valentine stormed out, angry at the noise. She got one look at Spike and Ed, rolled her eyes and fell back on the couch Ein was hiding under, landing in a rather unladylike sprawl position with a muffled *thump*.
"So Spike, having a little trouble with the lady?" she asked sarcastically, recieving a string of snarled expletives from the incapacitated Spike. "Or is it having trouble with the little lady?"
"Do me a favor, Faye," growled Spike, glaring at her from his pathetic position in a heap on the floor. "And either help me or SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
Faye shot back a few choice words of her own, her voice loud enough and shrill enough to attract the attention of Jet. Ed was still reclining comfortably on Spike's back, now with her fingers stuffed in her ears. The kid was happily and completely oblivious to all the yelling and swearing creating a whirlwind of chaos around her. Jet walked in and got one look at the chaotic scene in the so-called "living room". For once, Jet's patience snapped.
"Would you all kindly SHUT UP!?!" he roared, denting the wall with his cyborg fist.
Everyone but Ed froze. "Radical Edward" was still sprawled out on Spike's back, fingers in ears, singing "One-eyed, One-horned Flying Purple People Eater" at the top of her lungs. Jet heaved a weary sigh. With a look that told Spike and Faye he was seriously considering suicide, Jet picked up Ed by the back of her shirt. Ed blinked a couple of times and shook her fiery shock of red hair around, confused. Then her eyes fixed on Jet and her goofy red-cheeked face broke into a big smile. She stuck her arms out to the sides and started making extremely loud bird noises.
"Three, four, two, eleven --- HELLOHELLO Jet-person!!" she hollered, her voice reverberating around the room and making everyone - even Ein, who used his paws - cover their ears.
Jet gave the crazy girl a disgusted look and calmly deposited her on Spike's back, sending him crashing to the floor again. Faye's laughter turned on the side of ludicrously uproarious and Spike's already-dwindling tolerance exploded. With an angry yell that sounded amazingly like a lion's roar, Spike roughly pushed himself off the floor. Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV was catapulted across the room as a result. She let out an earsplitting "Wheee!" sound as she flipped gracefully through the air and safely bounced off the wall.
"Now what's this all about?" inquired the extremely irritated Jet, his voice deadly calm.
Ed let out a scream like a siren and cartwheeled like mad across the room, adding a spectacular round-off at the end. She came to a brief halt then hopped up on Jet's metal arm, sitting there like a trained monkey. The girl flapped her arms for a second to catch her balance, then sat there as still as a statue. Jet rolled his eyes and proceeded to ignore her.
"Edward has good NE-EWS!!" hollered Ed in a singsong voice, waving her arms around over her head and tipping precariously on her perch - still on Jet's arm. "Does Spike-person want to hear some good neeeeeews??"
She bounced across the room and leaped into Spike's arms, throwing hers around his neck and looking up at him with puppy-eyes.
"No," he said flatly, giving her a disgusted glare and dumping her on Faye.
"How 'bout Faye-Faye?" inquired the ever-persistent Ed amiably.
"Get lost monkey-girl," snapped Faye, swatting Ed out of her lap.
"Monkey-monkey-monkeeeee!" screamed Ed, leaping off the couch and imitating a monkey.
Spike shot Faye a look that could kill, his countenance oddly - almost eerily - similar to that of a basilisk. She just returned it with a vengeance that, if carried out, would be swift and terrible. It said quite plainly, "Bite me." Had this been any other anime, there would be a tongue war a la Sailor Moon.
"Are you happy now?" growled Spike, throwing the door open and stalking out. "I'm not coming back 'til I'm either half dead or dead drunk!"
"Fine! Don't!" hollered Faye, knowing that a woman must have the last word in an argument - anything Spike said after that would be the beginning of a new argument.
The door broke as it slammed shut.
