Faye ran outside, looking through the heavy rain. Spike peered out of an ally to see her, hidden in the shadows. He ducked back in to avoid being seen by her. She didn't notice him and walked down another alley on her search. She slowed her pace looking around her cautiously. Spike followed quietly. Faye quickly looked behind her; a feeling that she was being followed was pulsing through her mind.

Spike rushed past her in the shadows, stirring up a breeze, trying to scare her a bit, but remaining unseen. She looked around a bit scared but a cool face. After a while she shrugged and walked on. A smiled tugged at his lips and he faded back into the shadows. The rain was now pounding on the cement but the pair failed to notice. Spike attention was directed only on Faye and he was wondering why he was acting like this. This was not him, he wasn't soft, he wasn't emotional, but he didn't mind the change, maybe this was the real him…

He continued to follow her but tripped on a can making a loud clank and stiffened his back, not moving. "Who the hell are you?" she asks getting out her gun, he voice a bit shaky and uncertain she wanted to know. He rushed ahead of her and left a note in her ship with her name on it. "Goodbye, Miss Valentine" he whispered and let the wind carry it away, to her. "Spike..." she said "no!" she almost cried out and ran after him. "GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE!" she said trying to regain her straight face. He disappeared around the corner.

Realizing she lost him she headed back to her ship, her hands and gun hanging at her side. There was a note on her seat with her name on it. That spike left, she thought. She threw it out onto the ground watching the ink fade away, just like he did.

*~*~*hours later*~*~*

Spike walked aboard the Bebop, finding no one home and walked slowly to his room.

Faye was hovering above Mars in the Red Tail. "Where to now?" she thought long and hard.

"In my heart there's always a place for you, Faye Valentine." Spike closed his eyes and dreamt of her.

"The casino, where else is there for me to go?" she sighed as she broke through the Martian atmosphere.

When Jet and Ed got home, Spike has a chat with Jet about the situation, then Ed came in yelling about where "Faye, Faye" was, "I wonder if she'll give me another chance" he whispered and got the information from Ed then took off.

Faye just sat in space, not really in a gambling mood. "What the hell? I have nothing to loose but my money..." she hovered back down, but onto a different, less run-down part of Mars.

"I'm such an idiot" he whispered. Then he spot a Red Dragon Syndicate member on his tail, he shook them off but decides he better make this apology quick or he'd put Faye's life in danger.

Spike followed Ed's directions and lands near the casino. He got out and took his gun, just incase. He headed into the casino and looked around for Faye. Spike walked past the slots and roulette and finally spots her at the blackjack table, 10 minutes later. She stood there for a while, since the table was full. "Miss. Valentine…" he whispered in her ear as he approached her from behind. She gasped and turned around, "Stalker." "Mmm" he smiles and gently touches her cheek. She shook her head, looked down and away, "Sorry, I guess...." "No, I'm sorry Faye; I never gave you a chance. Nothing good has ever happened to me, I just couldn't believe you felt the same way, it's too rare to find your true love." "Yea, whatever..." He put his hand on her waist and pulled her a little closer to him, but giving her room to pull away "I can't say I'd blame you if you said no, but I'm asking you for a second chance" "I'm just not good with this stuff ya know?" "You don't have to 'be good at it' just love me that's all I want" he said touching his forehead with hers, smiling. She cracked a small smile.

"Why did you come after me?" she asked silently. He slowly leaned into her "because I can't live without you, Faye." his nose grazes her. "Yea? Well you were close to loosing me, and I was close to loosing you...and think of what ed would have done..." She pulled her head away, but not her body. He chuckled at that, "So am I forgiven or should I leave and never come back." he said brushing his lips lightly across hers. "Whatever keeps you happy..."

"Whatever you want," he said pulling away "I don't want to make you mad at me, I don't want to force you into anything," he let her waist go and stepped back. She shrugged. "All right then." he turned and began to walk away. She walked after him, "Stay... I'll never find you again..." "Only if that's what you really want, only if you really want me. I'll always be around Faye, but if you want me to be yours then just say so" he said and looked at her. "I do..." "Are you sure, am I what you really want, Faye. This is important for me" he said holding her wrist lightly.

"What or who is there?" "What," "You heard me... besides Jet..." she corrected herself quickly before saying anything else."Then go to jet... I want to be sure you want ME, Faye not just someone." "I do, Spike, I want you." He looked down smiling then suddenly picked her up off the ground and looked her in the eye, seeing she is telling the truth he hugged her tight "I love you, Faye Valentine" She leaned her head against his chest and sighed.

A gun shot flew past Spike's head as he heard someone yell for him. He turns around so Faye didn't get shot, "Run!!" he shouted letting her go and pulling out his gun. He pulled her behind the slots and Faye pulled out her gun as well. "Get out of here Faye" Spike yelled.

"Ooh, a chip..." she said her face lighting up as she looking at it, "A fifty, not bad..." "FAYE!!" he screamed. "No, if you get hurt, I'll be here, I'm not leaving again..." she said diverting her attention from the chip.

A bullet flew past them and he pulled Faye on the ground, she ended up on top. "Thanks..." she said shyly."I think I like this position" he said pulling her closer. Spike looked over her shoulder and shot a few guys out. Then flipped her over so he's on top. "It's not the right time..." she said, "although I do agree..." She moved her arms and shot backwards at some guys. "Well these guys are going to pay for interrupting our wonderful little moment" spike said, straddling Faye. He looked down on her and gives her a quick kiss on the lips before jumping up & shooting some guys over the slots. He grabbed her arm pulling her up gently "Ready?" She ducked behind the slots and shoots "for?" she asked "let's get outta here" he smirks and pulled her down a hallway.

A guy outside starts shooting through the windows and spike covers Faye from the shattering glass, with his body, pushing her up against a wall. She smirked not expecting that. When the shooter stops Spike opened his eyes, looking directly into Faye's, really close to her. "Faye..." he whispered. "Spike..." she replied.

A/N: Well I don't really have one, I get really tired of long chapters so I think I'll stick with short ones but it's not even close to being done so watch out. And to all my fan's "I'd like to thank the academy (my English class, lol) and my friends for inspiration and to jenda 'C'mon TAPANGA!' thank you and goodnight"
