A Cowboy Bebop Self-Insertion Fic

Prologue:
How The Hell Did I Wind Up Here?
"Hey Ashley!" I yelled. "You've got to see this!"
My best friend Ashley (not her real name) pushed the door to my room open. I'm not sure how she managed that, considering my room is a disaster area. She picked her way across what was left of the floor and stood there looking over my shoulder at the computer screen.
"What is it?" asked Ashley.
I pointed to a really weird pop-up on the Cowboy Bebop fanfic site I had been visiting.
"Some nut says that 'If you truly believe, click here for a surprise'," I read, tilting my head at the screen. "I wonder what it is they want you to believe in?"
Ashley shook her head.
"Nicole (not my real name), it's just a stupid pop-up," she said dismissively. "Sano (my computer's real name) is just being stupid again. Close it and let's watch Kenshin!"
"Nuh-uh," I argued, shaking my head. "I think this really works! Should I click it?"
I already had my mouse poised and ready to click.
"Nicole, don't! I really think you shouldn't---" she started...
*CLICK*
"AHHHHHH!!!!" I screamed, pushing Ashley out of the way as Sano's face disappeared and a bright red light emanated from the screen. "Ashley, what the hell is that!?!"
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO CLICK ON IT!!!!" she hollered.
"THANKS FOR WARNING ME!" I yelled sarcastically, trying to grab onto something as I was irresistably pulled towards the screen.
I grabbed C-chan, my stuffed mouse, took a firm hold on the heart pendant my grandmother gave me, and both of us (me and C-chan, not me and Ashley) were sucked into the computer screen.
"ASHLEY!!!!!!!!!" I screamed.
"NICOLE!!!!!!!!" I heard her screaming, her voice sounding farther and farther away.
I grabbed onto C-chan as we were hurtled painfully through the bright red metal tunnel. I hoped we would stop soon. C-chan had a tendency towards motion sickness. I just had a tendency to get sick. What in the name of all the seven hells was going on and WHERE THE HELL WERE WE GOING!? I heard a squeak and promptly shoved C-chan into the pocket of my ratty old Union Bay jean shorts. I took the impact of both of us hitting a hard metal surface and was blinded temporarily by a brilliant white light.
I hit my head and was knocked out.

"Hey, where'd she come from?" I heard a male voice asking.
"I have no clue..." answered another. "Did you leave the door open or something?"
I felt a hand on my shoulder and squeezed my eyes shut.
"Hey, wake up!" I heard a gruff voice half-whispering, the hand on my shoulder shaking me a little bit less than gently. "Wake up!"
I opened my eyes blearily and blinked a couple of times. I had no clue where I was or what was going on. All I knew is that I was no longer lying on a hard metal surface. I was lying on what seemed to be a couch. It was very old and substantially more comfortable than the designer furniture my mom insisted on keeping. This was furniture for living on - not looking at - the way I thought furniture should be.
When my surroundings registered with me, the first thing I saw was a pair of startling mismatched russet eyes. My own hazel green eyes widened and for a moment, I thought I was either still unconscious and dreaming or dead and in heaven. Without thinking, I reached one hand up to stroke their owner's cheek.
"Huh?!" exclaimed the owner of the gruff voice, pulling back abruptly. "What the hell?!"
I sat bolt upright, now certain that I wasn't dead and wasn't dreaming.
"Where am I?" I asked groggily, trying to remain upright and realizing I didn't have my glasses.
I heard a small "wuf!" and looked down to see a sweet-faced Welsh corgi looking up expectantly at me. His brown eyes reminded me of my little beagle, Lucy (not her real name). I looked around to try and figure out where I was. My hazy eyes once again met those smoldering russet orbs.
"What's going on?" I asked weakly as I fell back on the couch, figuring I had lost my glasses in that... thing...
"Hold on a second," commanded that same gruff voice. "I think we should be asking the questions instead of the other way around."
"Huh?" I asked confusedly. "Why are you acting like I've done something wrong?"'
He seemed a bit taken aback by that.
"Well you're the one that showed up here with no warning and no explanation of any kind," he countered.
I squeezed my eyes shut again, hoping this was a dream and that I would wake up soon.
"Where's Ashley?" I moaned, feeling sick.
"Huh?" asked a new voice, a female one this time. "Who's Ashley?"
"My best friend," I whispered, trying to stay conscious. "Is she here...?"
My voice trailed off and I slipped away again.
