Chapter Text
Its one of those days.
When everyones in a grouchy mood, including Ed. It isn't so much grouchy as she is tired. She sleeps in silence, usually, unless Faye Faye's bitching or Spike is yelling about that girl. Or sometimes Jet gets angry when someone touched his funny looking plants.
Today, its Spike.
"Get your ass back here! You leave and I ain't gonna let you back on."
Jet snarls from the loading dock. This gets a kick out of Spike. "I'm going to get my woman." He yells back to Jet.
Ed just watches as Jet clenches his fists. The ex game has begun.
The sleek swordfish took off, leaving Jet angry and muttering as he pushes his way back to the ships entrance.
Ed pretends shes sleeping as he passes her floating.

In Spikes mind, its only him and Julia.
But when Jet talks about Alisa, it drives him up the wall.
So when Jet talks about his girl back home, it elicits a response.
Normally a harsh one.
"There's nothing left of you and Alisa." Spike snaps. This is over the line, and Spike knows this, Edward knows this, hell, even Faye shuts up for a few minutes.
Ed just watches. She knows she cant say anything, out of fear as the two men stare at each other from across the fable.
"YEEHAW! ITS TIME FOR BIGSHOT-"
Rhe screen screams. Spikes foot goes crashing through it as he yells it to shut the f-
Faye grabs Eds ears, and sounds muffled as Jet and Spike begin to argue. Every now and then, right before they start swinging, Faye Faye will spit something out, and that will get the two men to back off.
Spikes nearly blue in the face as he hollers, so unlike the daddy Eds come to love. And Jets taking it, stoic, posed, and then he 'll shout back, every so often.
Faye eventually lets go of her, and their voices are like airhornes.
"BOTH OF YOU ARE ACTING LIKE CHILDREN!. Faye Faye yelled.
Ed clamps her ears shut, her toes curling in hopes that she can block out the sound.
Shes nearly thirteen, and she shouldn't be doing this, but a tear drop plops down onto the dusty metal floor.
Then another.
Drip
Drip
Shes sniffs, and looks up with red eyes, only to be met with six eyes on her.
"Ed?" This is Jet.
"Ed?" Says Spike.
"Edward -" Says Faye.
Ed is suddenly aware of how pressuring this is. Within seconds shes on her feet and bolting, Ein running behind her barking.
