See You Space Cowboy... // Spike X Reader (Cowboy Bebop) (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 4: Gateway Shuffle

"So, this is your version of a first date Rogue?"

"Shut up Spiegel." Jet chuckled a bit.

"Well, the house specialty is sea wrap. Used to be a staple food, harvested in the Ganymede sea. After the gates stabilized, food wasn't scarce anymore and people stopped eating it, so they ran some fancy ad campaign and claimed it was a delicacy."

"And?" Spike asked, while I readjusted these Steampunk type goggles. "Is it tasty?"

Jet looked at Spike with an unenthused look. "It's disgusting. People eat it for status, it's in now."  

"Well in that case, I'm out." The green-haired fuzzball chose some sort of Lobster type thing.

"Thank god you did not order the most expensive thing they got here." I put the goggles on and looked around in an attempt to scope out our new bounty.

"He thinks when we'll bag this guy, we'll be rich." I hummed in agreement and zoomed the lens in with the goggles.

"I think I got him." I handed Jet the goggles, in which he gave a thumbs up.

"Yep, it's Morgan. A clean match." Spike and I turned our heads back to look at the guy.

"Should we just grab him and forget about breakfast?" Spike turned to me and smirked.

"For what it's worth, you can finally order the most expensive thing here." I went to get up, but an older woman in a purple dress went up to our target. Along with her were people dressed up as rats.

"What the fu-"

"GET DOWN!!!" Spike grabbed me and threw the both of us under the table as gunshots went off. He held me protectively with one arm while the other went to get something from the table, but quickly retracted it as he shook his hand a bit.

I whispered to him. "You ok Spike?"

He whispered back. "I'm fine, don't worry."

"I know I've seen that woman before." Jet thought out loud.

Some sort of capsule was thrown out in front of us, and it opened showing some sort of picture of the 'Space Warriors'.

"What the hell..?" I said as a high pitched voice told everyone about the Space Warriors.

"Thanks for your cooperation my ass." I got out from under the table.

"I remember, that woman has a 25 million bounty!" Spike and Jet looked at each other.

"Huh?" Spike asked.

"What he means is that we need to go get her!" I grabbed his wrist and ran to chase after the woman, who was walking slowly to the elevator.

I turned to him and drew my gun. "On three..." I whispered.

"One..." He pulled his gun out.

"Two..." He said as I moved to the other side of the woman.

We looked at each other and both mouthed 'Three'.

"Stop right there," Spike said, pulling the gun to her temple. "Game over."

The mice people screamed out for their mom (still, beyond me why they called her mom), which caused me to point my gun to her other temple.

"Take it easy," Spike smiled at them. "You don't want to see your dear mother hurt, now." 

I turned my head to face the direction in which Jet was. "How's our bounty doing?"
