Jet, Spike and I were on the poker ship, "Prophecy?" Spike had a cigarette in his mouth, "Or so Charlie says. Only hands can wash hands. If you wanna receive, you have to give. Something like that. I wish I could remember the exact words but anyway. I think Charlie's just telling us to do it." Jet was in a white suit and had shades on, "What do you think huh?" Jet tightens his tie, "Somehow I don't think Charlie Parker is good." Spike had his hands behind his head, "Come on, it's just a dream I had, lighten up." Jet looks at us, "I have a feeling that dream is going to suck up your boys last five thousand woolongs." I yawn and purposely flap my card in my face as if to cool myself down, "And follow the rules Spike." I take the cigarette out of his mouth and point at the 'No Smoking' sign, his eyebrows furrow and he leans down onto my fingers, I felt his lips brush against my fingertips as he ate the cigarette in my fingers, I was speechless and stare at him, he shows his tongue at his empty mouth and grins at my reaction, the floor dings and we walk out.
"You can't play here, your eyes are too sharp, they'll kick us out if you win too much." Jet looks at Spike, "Thanks Mum but if you didn't want me to win, you shouldn't have brought me here." Spike says as Jet walks off leaving just the two of us, Spike spits the cigarette from before out into a rubbish bin, "You're disgusting Spike." I walk off in the opposite direction, sliding down the banisters.
We made our way to three old men who were playing poker, there was a crowd gathering around them as he shakily lifts the corner of the card up, "Say your prayers." Spike puts his finger on the card, they slowly turn it around and cheer when they saw the four next to the five, earning them a handful of chips, "Thanks for the tip." Spike takes a few chips, "Hey wait." I walk after him.
"Mind if I join the game?" Spike sits down, I slowly walk over to him, "What are you doing? Blackjack?" I put my hands on his shoulders and lean over, resting my chin on his blazer, he knocks on the table and the dealer adds another card, "That's twenty one," She nods, the man next to us also got twenty one and he whoops, "Give me double!" He holds his hand out, she nods as she looks at the woman lovingly wrapped around him, "Wait what? Why?" I finally look at the dealer, "Faye?!" I shout and lean back, grabbing Spike's shoulders to keep me from falling back, "Nat? What are you doing here?" She looks at me, "You two know each other?" Spike looks at us, "More or less." I grin at her, she smiles, "Jee I miss the good times." She chuckles lightly and adds double the chips to the man's pile, "Wait you didn't answer, why does he get double?" Spike points at the man who greedily looks at his growing pile, "The boss said today's double for married couples, he had strange events he likes to host." Faye shrugs, I pull Spike's left hand down and reach into my pocket, "Yes." I mutter into his neck as I pull out the built up pile of grenade pins in my pocket, "Then double for us too please, I didn't realise." I smile at Faye, "Wha? But I thought you always said men are a waste of time." She looks at me confused, "Well Spikey is an exception, isn't that right honey." I kiss his cheek, I hid the straight pin in my fingers as the two of us show our 'rings', "That sure is right." He grins and puts his free hand on my hand on his shoulder, she sighs and hands us another pile of chips, "Keep winning Cowboy," I grin, "Oh I plan on it Darling." He knocks on the table and Faye draws another card.
"The final hand." She shuffles the cards, "What a shame, seems I'm not skilful and not lucky either." Spike knocks on the table, "Then what are you?" Faye asks, "I seem to be quite generous," Spike grins as an eight was thrown in front of him next to his seven, there was a crowd around us, I still had my arms around Spike's neck, completely invested in his game, Faye flips over an ace, "Another Blackjack." She holds her hands out, "I'm going all out, except for this one chip." Spike held a white chip between his fingers, "Think I'll keep it as a souvenir." He throws it up and puts his arm around my waist, the two of us disappearing into the crowd, "Hey wait! Hey! Come back here!" I heard Faye behind us, "So darling? Pretty tacky ring if you ask me." Spike looks at his left hand, "Well be grateful husband. You got double the amount without me you'd only be resting on thirty thousand woolong." I slap his arm, "Think I'll keep it, after all, my lovely wife gave it to me." He grins at me, "Shut up." I blush and look away, someone won one of the slot machines and coins were spilling out, "Wow, who'd of thought you can actually win from those." I hum, suddenly Spike collided with someone, he falls to the floor and frantically looks for a chip that he dropped before running away, I lift my chunky sneaker up and saw Spike's chip, "Dropped it," I hand it back to him, I found his hand slipped back around my waist and I felt myself stiffen slightly, "Hey you!" Faye ran to us, "What happened to your generosity? You're messing up the whole plan." She leans forward, "Huh?" We were confused, "Don't play dumb, you were supposed to give me that last chip and Nat, what are you doing with a fugitive, I mean you're a bounty hunter." She looks at me then back at Spike, "I'm sorry? Fugitive? I'm also a bounty hunter." Spike points at his face, "Besides, you're pretty brash, you cheated pretty much the entire game and I didn't say a word." Spike looks down at her, "Did you hear that?" "She cheated?" "Oh my God." People were muttering around us, "Just gimme the damn chip." She holds her hand out, he drops it into his mouth and swallows it whole, "No! No! Spit it out Spike! Spit it out!" I freak out and slap his back, Faye turns around and runs off, "Hey Faye! Wait!" I try to run after her but Spike kept a grip on my waist, "Can you come with me to the office sir? We have some questions," A bouncer walks up to us, "What type of questions?" Spike grins but then was met with a fist to the face, "Bad move." Spike grins, and launches his foot out, kicking the man's chin, "Oh God..." I take a step back and stare at Spike, I hadn't really seen him fight before but man was he good at it, "You punk!" The second bouncer tries to punch him but Spike took a step to the side and connected his elbow to the bouncer's back, "Ooh." People cringe at the scene, "Come on guys, I like the fitness program here it's a good workout." He smirks before besting up all the security and bouncers, I heard bullets and I saw Faye's ship fly in, "Jet!" The two of us run to him, "I told you not to win so much!" He had a stack of coins, "That's not it, we gotta split! Fast!" Spike runs off, I follow hot on his tail, "Come on!" I turn my head around, "I haven't cashed these in yet wait!" He runs after us, there was a large explosion and Faye's ship flew out, she grins at the sight behind her before looking forward and screaming at the sight of Jet, Spike and I plastered on her windshield.
