COWBOY BEBOP# 24

Faye watches the beta tape in the darkness of her room. She pauses it at a shot of a stone lion head fountain. She closely examines it. Suddenly she is startled by the presence of a dreary Ed.

FAYE: S-Since when were you...

ED: Water sploosh...

FAYE: You know this?

ED: I think I know, I don't think I know. I don't think I know that I know. I think I know even though I don't think I know...

FAYE: Which is it?!

Ed falls asleep.

FAYE: Hey!

Faye grabs Ed and blows air into her mouth. Amber wakes up seeing them and the video playing again.

AMBER: Hey... I have seen that place before. Huh? Whore, why are you giving Ed mouth to mouth?

FAYE: This isn't what you think!

Amber lies back into bed.

AMBER: Whatever you say. We'll talk more tomorrow to solve all of this.

Amber leaves the room with Faye slapping Ed to the face many times to wake her up.

Session #24

HARD LUCK WOMAN

Earth. Spike brushes his teeth on the deck of the Bebop. Jet rushes out.

JET: Hey, Spike, where the hell are we?!

SPIKE: Isn't it Earth?

JET: Earth?! Hey, this ship was headed for Mars! Why the hell are we on Earth all of a sudden?!

SPIKE: Dunno.

JET: Shit, this isn't funny. While we're wasting time, our fugitive – It was the first big one in a while... In any case, why the hell are we on -?

SPIKE: Jet. The women are gone.

JET: Including Amber too!?

SPIKE: Yep, but she has their backs. Got a note from her saying 'gone with the Whore and Ed to find some answers out here today, see you soon'. Man, I love it when Amber's a head strong girl.

JET: Oh, brother.

Faye flies in Red Tail. Ed is strapped to the top with Amber following them in her Heavy Winged.

AMBER: Whore, I still think that Ed would be fine in my ship.

FAYE: She's fine here.

ED: Weee! Ambie! Look at me! Look at me!

AMBER: If she falls, I won't forgive you.

FAYE: Whatever. Look you two will help me find about my past, right?

AMBER: We'll try to. Lucky for you I took many tours on Earth before I team up with the Bebop, so we'll do our best, right Ed?

ED: Yep!

FAYE: Listen, if you lead me to that "water sploosh" place I'll give you something good.

ED: Good thing? What?

FAYE: Something very, tremendously, wonderfully good.

ED: Something very, tremendously, wonderfully good!

AMBER: Detours, coming up.

A meteor crashes on a patch of land. A truck approach it. Two mapmakers, Appledelhi and Macintire rush down into the crater to measure it. Their feet are burned.
