"Your attention please we will soon be arriving on Venus, all passengers please be aware pf the following Government health advisory. The floating plants used for terraforming our Venus may cause allergic reactions for some people if left untreated can lead to Venus sickness, a potentially fatal illness therefore if symptoms appear please consult a doctor immediately." The prerecorded announcement plays, "You look like an idiot." I jab my finger into Spike's ribs playfully, he had a stupid looking mask over his eyes, "What are you talking about, it's high fashion." He doesn't take it off but grabs my wrist to stop my poking him, I yawn and lean back into my seat, I had his blazer draped back to front over me as I close my eyes, I hear light beeping and take a deep breath, "Is it time for work for a living Hun." I take his blazer off me and slip my arms properly through it, "I thought you'd never ask Darling." Spike relaxed his body more, three bullets fire into the TV at the front of the ship as we exited the gate and everyone screamed, "Everybody quieten down, both hands behind your head. All of you!" A man stands up, "I'll-I'll give you money! Take the others but let me go please!" A rich man begs, "Cut it or you'll get the same." A woman behind him uses her gun to knock him out, everyone slowly places their hands behind their heads, "You! Hey! Are you listening to me! GET UP!" One of the men scream at Spike and stretch the eyemask off his eyes, I snicker, "SHUT UP!" He screams at me and points his gun at me, everyone gasps and waits for the worst, "Sorry, my husband's a deep sleeper, excuse him." I use my finger and push the barrel of the gun away from me to the ceiling, Spike slowly opens his eyes, "Finally! Now put your hands behind your head like everyone else!" He barks, Spike closes his eyes again and rests his head on my shoulder, "HEY LOOK AT ME! Don't you go back to sleep!" He screams, Spike crosses his arms and stretches them out dramatically knocking the man back, "YOU'RE DEAD!" He swipes the gun towards his head to knock Spike out but he ducks his head down, sticking his leg out so the man would trip over, he was falling onto us and I lift the armrest up, making him hit his nose on it, I heard a slight crack and he holds his nose stumbling back, another man runs over and Spike gently grabs his wrist and flips him over with the help of zero gravity, "Sorry 'bout that." He scratches his head, "You big show off." I grin and stretch my arms up, "Don't move!" The woman points the gun at us, "Think again my precious bounty heads." Faye floats behind her and sprays her with anesthesia, the BeBop flew next to us and the three of us nod at Jet.
We were walking out of the airport, "Huey, Louie and Dewey. One point five million. Thanks for the pay off." Spike throws his card up in the air, "Hi." Faye and I stood behind him when he turns around, "What do you want?" He looks at us, "Our share." She beckons with her hand, "Right here?" Spike was confused, "Why not? I need it now." She frowns, she slots her card into the booklet and Spike puts his in, the two beep and he takes her card out, "That's all you're gonna get Faye." He hands it back to her, "Yeah I know, don't sweat it." She walks off, "Depositing it at the casino again?" I call after her, "It's a lot more fun than the bank." She holds her hand up, "Do you mind? I don't prefer extra holes in my wife." Spike lifts me up unexpectedly and spins me to his other side as he sticks his foot out and a man falls to the ground in front of us, "Woah." I wrap my arms around his waist and stick my head out from behind Spike, "I don't want to deal with pickpockets." He puts his arm around my shoulder, the man giggles, "Amazing, you really are amazing. Alright, you're that guy that nabbed those hijackers you've got some very smooth moves my friend, can I ask you a favour. Can you teach a guy like me those cool moves? Like Judo or Kungfu oooooh!" He sings, I furrow my brows.
"Hey wait a minute!" He kept tailing us, "Keep walking." Spike's words seep through his tight lips as he kept his arm around my waist, "I wanna be a tough guy like you, you know." He begs, "YOu are really annoying you know, you try to stab my girlfriend and now you're asking me to teach you? Now what part of 'No' did you not understand?" He presses the elevator button, "I beg you master." He gives a deep bow, I grit my teeth and lift my leg up, slamming it onto his shoulder and he fell flat on the ground, "Woah, woah, woah." Spike pulls me back, "You jackass wanna say that one more time!" I try to fight out of his grasp as I saw the doors slide shut, "No smoking." I take the cigarette out of his mouth and point at the sign, I frown and stomp on it aggressively on the ground, "What's up with you?" He stokes my arms, "I hate when people play the into the stereotypes of Asian culture, it..." I grit my teeth and slam my foot into the railing, "Calm down, I know you hate it, and you're valid. I'd be pissed if some guy started babbling about my culture like that." He leans down and kisses my forehead, there was a ding as we reached our level and we saw the guy sweating and panting as he looks at us, "Let's go." Spike loops his arm around me and the two of us walk out, "Come on just a few moves, think about it as helping me, you know a lil' mercy and compassion." He follows us. "Great I'm a lil' out of that stuff." Spike lights another cigarette, I reach into my pocket and quickly swallow a pill, "Have a heart master come on, it's not like it'll really cost you anything." We made it out of the airport and we headed to our zipcrafts, "Give it up already." Spike says but his voice was all pitchy, I burst out laughing, "Venus has a lot of helium in the atmosphere, you can fix it with popper pills." I speak normally, "You already had one? When?!" Spike looks at me, "When we were walking out, only had one left, sorry~." I stick my tongue out and wink, "I've got one." The man held one in his palm, Spike grabs it and swallows it whole, continuing to walk, grabbing my hand after him, "Come on, that's not fair!" He shouts, "You brought it on yourself-!" Spike stops as he voice when normal just for it to go squeaky again, I snickered, "Those were just regular road props." He holds his stomach, "You're pushing it!" Spike turns around, "Woah! Hands on training! Wooooaahhhh!" He dramatically builds up, making stupid high pitched noises, I feel an ick mark, I saw Spike take a step back, "He's all yours my lady." He leans on the wall, "I'LL GIVE YOU HANDS ON TRAINING!" I kick him square in the chest, making him collapse and fall on the ground, "The name is Rocco Bonnaro. It's an honour master." He hows at me, "CALL ME OR SPIKE MASTER ONE MORE TIME AND I'LL RIP YOUR SPINE OUT!" I scream, "Okay, calm it down a notch." Spike hooks his arms under mine.
"I'm telling you, don't tense up." Spike grabbed his fist, "Now how do you knock someone out if it's all limp?" He asks, we were on the grass, Spike finally gave into his whining, "Like this!" I kick his head and he flies back, "It's not about strength or power, you gotta be fluid. You have to be like water." Spike says, "See what I'm saying?" He asks, "Nope." He shakes his head, "That's with I thought." I cross my legs and frown at him, "Come at me with a knife." Spike takes a step back, "Ooh! Don't blame me if you get hurt." He takes his knife out, "Here I come!" He runs towards Spike but he grabs his wrist and gently flips him over, slamming him on his back, "How did you do that?" He blinks, "You're tense, he's calm. You apply excessive force and all he does is distribute it, that means relaxing the whole body so it can act instantly without resistance. Without thought. How's that for your sensei." I walk over to him, "Maybe I get it but then maybe I don't." He rocks up and crosses his legs, "You should have a little respect for your elders!" We turn and see an old man on the ground yelling at three thugs, "Hang onto this, meet me tonight, no tomorrow night at the cathedral at the edge of town." He shoves a bag into my hands and runs off, "There he is! Get him!" They chase after Rocco.
"Casino's again? The ones around here are famous for stacking the deck." Jet says, "Doesn't matter, it's her money." I crouch down and ask for Ein's paw which he gives and I put his food bowl in front of him, "Good boy." I stroke his ears and kiss his head, "Don't kiss that mutt, he's disgusting." Spike says, "The only disgusting mutt here is you doofus." I walk back and give him a quick peck on the cheek, "Well, no use wasting time, how about taking in some pocket money." Jet clicks the remote and it lights up, I swing my legs over the back of the couch and fling myself onto the couch, "Piccaro Calvino, usually a nickel and dime guy but by some miracle, he pulled off some big hit this time, price has doubled if you bring in the whole crew." Jet points, I look at his bounty, "Mmm, I'm not wasting my time on a low bounty like his. I'm selective and only pick the best of the best." I cross my legs and put my hands behind my head, "This is what they stole, it's a rare plant that's used to make meds for Venus sickness. They're very hard to grow, worth tens of millions each." Jet clicks a button, "Hold on." Spike squints at the screen, "Look." He pats my leg and I open my eye, "Wh-? What!" I saw Rocco's name as part of his gang, "Wait." I open the bag and saw one of the Grey Ash plants, "What the hell?" Jet looks at us.
