Cowboy Bebop Fan Fiction ❯ Deadly Dragons ❯ A Day That Sucks On So Many Levels ( Chapter 11 )

Happy New Year!

This chapter is going to be different from the usual trying-to-be-funny-and-action chapter. It's gonna be slower and maybe a little mushy. Definitely not a lot! Well…here ya go.

I feel so stupid! ::Hits herself:: I forgot about the bracelets! I was going to do something with them, but ::grumbles:: I forgot. Thanks for reminding me, Aolani. I can't believe I forgot! ::hits herself again and then complains about it hurting:: They'll probably be in the next chapter. -IF- I don't forget again. Okay…I'll shut up now… A thanks to everyone who has reviewed so far…now, on with the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Cowboy Bebop or Taco Bell.

A Day That Sucks On So Many Levels

~

"What was that about?" Faye asked.

Spike and Vicious sigh and look frustrated.

"Weren't you listening?" Spike asked.

"Where'd Destiny go?" Vicious questioned.

"Oh, crap." Faye mumbled.

~

Destiny pulled out her car keys and pushed a few buttons on the keychain.

~

"Whoa? Whose car is this?" Asked Scard, one of Cole's friends.

"I bought it, what do you think?" Cole asked.

"Really?" Scard asks as he puts a hand on the hood.

The car starts to move a Scard stumbles away from it in shock.

"I didn't do it!" Scard yells.

"Oh, crap." Cole mumbles as the car starts to pick up speed.

Cole runs over to it and tries to open the door, but the doors are locked.

`I hate it when people can still control their cars…' Cole thought as he watched roll away from him and around the corner.

Scard steps up beside him.

"That wasn't really your car was it?" Scard asks dumbly.

~

Destiny waits a few minutes until she sees her car come around the bend. She climbs in thinks about where she should go. Home, see what's going on with her dad and the DizSteal, or go kill Cole.

~

"She probably went to find out more about what's goin' on." Spike suggested.

Vicious was about to nod when Faye interrupted.

"No, she probably went to kill Cole for taking her car." Faye said.

Vicious sighed.

"Well, I'm going to sleep." Vicious announced as he started to walk up the stairs back to his room.

Spike looked to Faye then back to Vicious. Vicious gave him one of those dangerous `get out' looks. Spike grinned and then Vicious grinned. Faye looked back at the two wondering what they were thinking. Spike motioned for Faye to come on and they left.

~

"Where are we going?" Faye asks looking at Spike.

"Where's your car?" Spike asked Faye.

Faye blinked and looked around before she remembered.

"I came over with Destiny."

"Looks like you'll have to ride with me then." Spike announced as he swung into his car.

Faye slid into the seat across from him and wondered why his whole car was black except for the green lettering on the stereo system. Faye picked up a few of the tapes and cds.

"Spike?"

"Huh?"

"Is this all you listen to?'

"What's wrong with jazz?"

"Nothing…but…"

"But you're wondering why I don't have rap or anything?"

"Yeah…" Faye prompted.

"I listen to enough of that between you, Vicious, and now Destiny."

"But, you haven't even hung around Destiny that much!"

"You can hear it coming from her car whenever she goes anywhere half the time!"

Faye sighed. He was right after all.

"And then she says it's cause the car has no insulation."

"It doesn't."

"How do you know?"

Faye snorted.

"Because when I was with her and we had the music down low Cole complained that it was to loud and he didn't know how we could listen to it that loud."

"Whoa? Cole hasn't been harassing you has he?"

"When does he not?"

Spike shook his head before he looked both ways so he didn't cause a collision.

"Where are we going?" Faye asked again.

"I dunno. I'm hungry though…"

"When are you not?" Faye teased.

Spike grinned because he couldn't think of a comeback, which is unusual for him.

"I wanna taco…"

"Not again!"

~

"Where's-" Destiny walked in the building, but was cut off when she was about to ask where her father was.

"He's upstairs in his room." One of the men informed her.

She nodded to him, then she walked up the stairs. She didn't bother knocking and just opened the door to his quarters.

"What's going on?" Destiny asked him.

"What?" Comm looked at her strangely.

"I heard something. What's going on with the tigers?"

"I thought I told them not to tell you." Comm said more to himself than to her.

"Who told you?"

"I wasn't told I overheard."

"Who?"

"Nevermind that. What's going on?"

"Well, simply it's just us and the Dragons against the Tigers."

Destiny narrowed her eyes and stopped herself from just leaping of the desk and strangling him. She snorted and turned her back on him to walk out.

"Wait!" Comm exclaimed, surprised by her reaction.

Destiny turned back around.

"Aren't you going to ask me why we're against them?" Comm said.

"Are you going to tell me?" Destiny asked.

Comm stopped to ponder. Destiny didn't wait and she excused herself with a quick `Cya.' Destiny walked back down the steps. She decided to go play cards with the guys, but stopped when she saw her mother, who looked very upset.

"Mom?" Destiny walked over.

"Are you okay?" Destiny asked.

"I was wondering where you were." Her mother said as she threw her arms around her.

Destiny hugged her mom back.

"Mom, what's going on?"

"Your father hasn't told you?"

"Just something about us and the Dragons were going to go against the Tigers. Is there something else?"

"Maybe it's best if you don't know." Her mother said.

"Mom?"

Her mother gave her an apologetic look and one last hug and a kiss on the cheek before walking off to go scold her father. One of the men was sitting there staring at her. His eyes were teasing her. She gave him a dirty look.

"I love my mother and I don't really care what you think so don't say anything and live another day." Destiny walked off.

The man looked taken aback, but he walked after her. He ran a hand through his red hair.

"Where've you been? You haven't been playin cards or joking around with us any more. You wouldn't be ditching us for some other friends would you?" The man asked.

"Yes, I have been hanging around with other people. I didn't know you needed me around, Steven." Destiny grinned at her brother. (Yes, brother. They aren't flirting or anything…)

"Let's go play cards!" Destiny took off at a run with her brother, Steven, right behind her.

Spike and Faye ended up at Taco Bell with Spike buying the store. Faye was standing there unpatiently waiting for her turn to order. Finally Spike finished his order and Faye stepped up.

"Two soft tacos and one hard."

"Oh, I see how you are…" Spike whispered.

Faye didn't get it at first, but then she turned to him and gave him a dirty look. The bill came up to sixty something and Faye made Spike pay three fourths of it because he wanted more than three fourths of it.

"That was rude, Spike." Faye said.

"What?" Spike looked at her.

"No, that was worse than rude. I don't care about rude remarks. That hurt."

Spike looked at her, puzzled. Faye sighed and decided to drop it. Spike noticed what he done.

"Sorry…I was just kidding." Spike said and he unwrapped one of his tacos.

"I really shouldn't be mad about it, but coming from you it just…" Faye distracted herself by cutting her soft taco into little pieces with a plastic fork.

Faye looked back up at Spike who was grinned with a piece of lettuce hanging out of his mouth. Faye had stop herself from bursting out in laughter and tears. She just covered her mouth and did her best not to laugh to loud. Spike's try to lighten the mood had worked.

~

Vicious finally got up. He hung over bed with his hair in his eyes. The digital clock by his side red 5:30 p.m. Vicious got up and scratched his neck. He automatically pushed `play' on his cd player. Eminem's voice burst out on it, but not as loud as Nelly's did downstairs. Vicious didn't even notice the change he just walked into the bathroom.

~

Steven laid down four aces and an eight, smirking. Destiny returned the smirk as she laid down a straight flush. Steven's mouth dropped open. Destiny gathered the cards and shuffled. She tossed a white chip in the middle of the table. Everyone else did the same.

"Seven card draw." Destiny announced as she gave the four people and herself two cards.

~

Spike was finally on his last taco. Faye was waiting, but not patiently. Spike smirked. After a few minutes Spike had ate the taco and he was ready to go.

"I can't believe you ate all that." Faye exclaimed as the two exited Taco Bell.

"It was easy, you should try it sometime." Spike kidded.

Faye was about to say something when Spike planted a great big wet one on her lips. Faye wiped her lips and took off at a run toward Spike, who was trying to unlock the car. Faye acted like she was going to hit him, but she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"You are evil." Faye smiled.

"I could say the same about you." Spike smirked.

Their lips brushed briefly. Spike came back for a real kiss as he slid an arm around her waist. Faye playfully blew into his mouth. Spike backed up and gave her a funny look. Faye put a finger on his nose.

"You taste like taco." Faye laughed.

Spike started laughing after a short moment and proceeded to unlock the car. Faye walked back around the passenger's side and looked around to see if anyone was looking at them Thankfully there wasn't.

~

Vicious walked out of the bathroom in boxers trying to dry his hair with a already soaked towel. He had dropped half of it in the water and he had no other clean towels so he was trying to dry his hair with half of it. He looked out the window. It was already getting dark. Vicious shook his head and threw the towel back in the bathroom.

He walked to his closet and pulled out a pair of baggy black jeans and a black t-shirt. He wasn't ready to go to sleep just yet. He walked over and grabbed a poor excuse for a brush and started to brush his hair. It was full of knots and it sounded more like he was ripping it out rather than brushing it. He thought about cutting it, but didn't like the idea that much. He would bring it up and see what Spike and them thought tomorrow.

~

Destiny was stuck with putting up the chips and cards. The cards were easy, but putting the chips up was a little harder. Not really hard, but it took some time. Steven sat by and watched.

"What are ya gonna do now? I don't think you're goin' to sleep. It's only six." Steven said.

"I couldn't go to sleep if I tried. I dunno, I might call Faye and see what she's doing."

"Who's Faye?"

"A friend."

"Oh."

"Wow, no lecture about how I shouldn't have friends because they're backstabbers?"

"I'll spare you this time." Steven chuckled.

Destiny grinned as she slid the last chip into the slot.

"We should play with money next time." Destiny announced.

"Oh, no we shouldn't!"

~

Cole walked up to his leader.

"You wanted me."

"Yes. You do know what we're doing, right?"

"Exactly what we are doing."

~

That was another chapter. I'd say it was close to 1,800 words. Don't expect another chapter like that for a long time. It might've gotten confusing, if it did I'm sorry. It's practically the first time I've wrote about all of them when they weren't all in one group, ya know?" I used a lot of slang-like words, sorry about that. Atleast they didn't cuss! Thanks for reading and I hope you liked it. It was slow and boring, sorry. Please REVIEW! Cya!
