Gbuteler89 reporting one week late. Nothing to do about it, I usually
don't check e-mails during exams, besides, my connection went short on
credit (pre-paid internet, nobody said it was good for all), so I didn't
read the response from moderators and well, reporting one week late. But
let's look on the positive: three posts in one day! You'll get enough to
read.
Just wanna point out a few details before you get started:
a)I DO NOT own Cowboy BeBop, this is just a fanfic. However, it's MY
fanfic.
b)This fanfic has been rated PG-13 for mild language and violence. Just
in case.
I won't slow you down anymore, here's the chapter.
=================================
X-tra Session #1: Aurora Rock
=================================
(Place this X-tra session before the series.)
Author's Note:
--------------
I want to thank once again Rory McLean for the motivation he gave to give
a revise to my chapters. Still can't install the grammar check files into
Word, so i'll give it a long watch for mistakes. The real deal starts NOW.
For those who have noticed, there is a series that influences many of the
names of this X-tra session. Which one? The answer at the end. Now enjoy
the first chapter and review it, but please have respect, no flames.
===============================
CHAPTER 1: A Simple 6-mill Prey
===============================
"There is something good and something bad about living in space.
Everything has a good and a bad side, that's the balance of life" Jet
reflexed, no matter if someone was hearing him or not. "The good part is
the endlesssness. Being in the real middle of nowhere can give you all
the time to think, all the time to relax, all the time to rest. Why you
have all the time? Because there is no time, it's endlessness. But
endlessness is also the bad part, because there is no time. So when you
are tired or rested? It's the endless day and the endless night, so you
really can't tell when you have to be asleep or awake. That's a big
problem" he continued whirling his heard in small circle patterns.
That was really a problem, Jet had been awake for 2 days and a half. Not
having time really let him confused. Well, some liters of coffee also
claimed their share.
"Jet, for crying out loud, get to sleep" Spike moaned, "I'm getting sick
of that 'endlessness' crap you've been saying for the last hours. Give me
a break". He threw him a pillow to his head, but Jet almost didn't react.
He just stayed freezed with the pillow over his head. The coffee had
really a nice share of Jet's brain twisted, insomnia was draining him out.
"Why don't you watch some TV, that will get you asleep" Spike said
turning on the screen over the table. "Infomercial, infomercial, news,
news, kids' hour, kids' animé. What time is it?"
"How could I know? You can't tell if its night or day in space. There's
always a sun, but it's always dark anyhow. Who knows if there is day or
night in space? It's endlessness, Spike..." said Jet in slow motion until
he finally pounced down on his pillow. Spike drew off a cigarette.
"They say you need five days awake to get mad, but you sure did the job
quick, Jet" Spike muttered as he lighted his cigarette. He patted Jet's
shoulder, "That's my partner". He kept zapping through channels. The way
it looked, it was still very early. Then, the program he would least
expect came on air.
Big Shot for the Bounty Hunters.
"How are my bounty hunters doin'?" said Punch.
"It's time for your favorite program, and today we got this flash for
you" said Judy and she made a shooting gesture with her hand.
"Our news today are the hottest. Maybe some of you cowboys have only gone
as far as Jupiter for money, but today we're in the bounties of Saturn."
"Yes, many of the bounties are in for big bucks!"
"Since many of these guys are dangerous, if you deliever them by today,
you get your Double Bonus!"
"But only for today. Tomorrow you will only the number we show here."
"The top bounties in..."
Spike just hated when those guys took so long to announce bounties. Most
of the time it was because the bounties were not suitable for the time
they were airing in, like in this case. So Spike just went to the bounty
list of Saturn's moons by himself. Indeed, it seemed like there were many
cases in the list, but the top ones ranked in Saturn's most faraway moon,
Cosmos.
"Stop right there" Spike said when he looked at the top bounty.
"Aldebaran" he read, "drug producer and dealer. Reward: 6,000,000
woolongs. Nice." But then he gazed to the sleeping beauty he was seating
over. "This guy's not opening his eyes until christmas" he thought, "But
I think I can handle it by myself. We were going near Saturn anyway."
Spike got to the command post. It took him some time, but he re-
programmed the auto-pilot to go to Cosmos. "You will be routed to your
new destiny as soon as possible. An extra of 7,500 woolongs will be added
to your travel fare for unespected travel route change" the computer
ringed, "thank you for using the Space Gate."
"Thank you for stealing me that cash" Spike muttered as he went to check
on his ammo supplies. The rest of the trip was very smooth and slow,
Spike was starting to feel sleepy himself.
Finally, Spike decided to have a quick nap, until Jet woke up suddently
and started babbling again about endlessness and a new subject, the way
machines were taking over humans. "Jet, you need some sleep" Spike warned
with the last bit of his patience.
"No, I don't" Jet practically yawned, "and if I go to sleep, the auto-
pilot could take us to the Sun instead of Ganymede."
"Talking about that, we will make a litte detour to Cosmos" Spike grinned.
"Cosmos! That's too far away, Spike. Don't tell me you already traced the
route" Jet whimpered slamming his forehead.
"Alright, I won't tell you. Besides, I found a 6 million woolong prey for
it."
"Let me guess, Aldebaran."
"How do you know that?"
"Bob. Always going for the biggest bounty on the table, aren't you?"
"Just trying to get money for next meal, Jet."
"Spike, we can't go for a druglord. He's probably walled up with thugs.
It's not worth it" protested Jet as he sneaked a thermos flask with
coffee towards one of his legs.
"You can 'sleep' this one out if you want. I need to get far from you
before you start a new theory. By the way, you're contradicting yourself"
pointed out Spike as he took a glance at the thermos flask.
"If you listened me carefully, I neved said endlessness didn't let you
think" predicted Jet while he helped himself a cup of coffee.
Spike snapped the cup and the thermos from him. "Okay, Jet, no more
coffee for you."
