Jayne and Simon wake up with unique perspectives on life.
CATEGORY: FICTION TIMES READ: 4137 RATING: 9.0 (PG13) SERIES: FIREFLY
A'N: I don't own them
I wish I could explain this, but I can't. I starts as your avergae body-swap story, degenerates into bickering around the table, and ends with Wash even though he's dead.
I seriously need professional help.
I feel I didn't use this story to it's potential. If anyone has suggestions on what mischief Simon and Jayne might get into while wearing each other's skin, I'd like to hear it. I can always continue the gag.
*******
Oh, yeah. Now this is how it should be. Wake up in the mornin', an' the lady's still in the bed with ya. Jayne couldn't really remember what lovely he'd gone home with. Far as he recalled, he'd gone to bed like normal in his bunk. But never mind that. Jayne was a pragmatist, an' when you woke up with a fine woman you never asked too hard 'bout how she got there. An' if you was real lucky, maybe you could get her to cook 'fore she left.
But not usually. Usually she was out the door - or hatch, or window, or whatever - before he was totally awake. He didn't mind too much. Just the way it was.
Still, he figured he'd like to know what she looked like so he could look her up again next time they made it to this here rock. He raised up on an elbow, peering down at his partner buried in the sheets. Nice brown hair, light snoring, soft curves. Her clothes were scattered on the floor, and Jayne snuck a glance. Liked to know what his girls was wearin' in case he needed to bring 'em a token of his affection. Sometimes the ladies needed a little lubrication 'fore they got down to business. This particular lass seemed to be of the more girlified type. Nice flower-printed shirt an' some coveralls with a touch of grease an' a teddy bear patch.
Jayne blinked. Those looked somewhat familiar. Oh, ruttin' hell. "Kaylee?"
Kaylee stirred in her sleep, rubbing her eyes and sighing as she turned to face him. "Mornin', sweetie."
Sweetie? Crap. She musta had a fight with Simon again an' decided it weren't worth kickin' the boy to the couch thi
I absolutely love it!
I never saw this coming but that ending was the best ending ever!!!
I love it!
If there was nore than a 10 you'd get it.
Out of sight shiny!
Luc.
~She grabbed his pants and just had to peek.
Perfect Kaylee! And Simon probably got a laugh out of it too.
~"And then you both peeked. Sorry, Jayne."
Is River implying that Jayne is not well endowed? It's like the massive and massively talented football player with an angry three and one half inches.
The end made sense, but honestly I would have loved to see these two wrestle for a day or two longer.
My only struggle was when it said "Jayne said," "Simon said," I had a real hard time swapping the faces out. It got confusing but I can't think of how to fix that.
Otherwise the conversation was on the money and the characterization was excellent.
"Always, Kaylee. I love you."
"Finally!," River and Inara both cried, throwing their hands in the air.
LOL, perfect. Just all around shiny and fun to read.
But frankly, typing that out sucked, so I skipped it.
All hail MG's lazy streak!
This is PRICELESS!!! WAY WAY WAY GOOD!!!
And of course it was Wash behind this! It just makes sense to have this kind of gag be his work:D
BEB
P.S. How's about a real fun body swap and have Mal and Inara trade bodies, but have no one believe it for a while, so they have to live each other's lives for a bit:P
I WANT MORE.
You can come up with a whole lot of scence that would be funny. Expecialy given that Simon is the Doc but he now looks like Jayne.
Great idea and great exicution Manic Giraffe :D So much fun rolled into one.
"Honey, I know the cosmic power is great, but this has you written all over it. Give the boys their bodies back 'fore I have to kill 'em."
Frightening and yet drop-dead high-larious, THAT made sense of the whole thing. Bravo!!!
And for the person who suggested Jayne in Simon's body sexing up Kaylee, oh no, that'd be all manner of wrong! I cringe to just think about it!
Figuring out who was who sometimes was difficult but that's ok, because this was too damn funny. And Zoe knowing it had Wash written all over it was perfect!
And no, I won't let Kaylee inadvertently cheat on Simon (even though she'd technically not be cheating). I bow to Joss' experience on this, as he did the same thing with Buffy and Faith but stopped short of Faith/Buffy sleeping with Riley.
Besides, I thought it was funnier for Jayne to get a taste of how easy it is to rile up Kaylee when she's feeling emotionally invested.
ps can I request more of the Dino Tails?
Bwahahaha!!! I love it! It reminded me of the switch episode of Farscape ("Out of Their Minds"), especially with this bit:
"While grumbling that he'd actually have to wear Simon's ugly-ass clothes, Jayne realized he had one more thing to check before he dressed. Feeling a mite foolish but still needing to know, he grabbed the waistband of his - Simon's - boxers and peeked in. His eyebrows shot up. Damn. No wonder Kaylee liked him."
That's where I sprayed my computer with the water I was drinking. :)
Glad to see ya posting again! YEA!!!
This was one of the funniest things I've ever read. And Zoe talking to Wash was just beautiful. Loved it!
Seriously, Kaylee needed to take a peek at Jayne SOOO friggin funny. I can't believe Simon would be okay w/ that.
I don't think kaylee having sex w/ simon in jayne's body would be "cheating" but still too inky to conceptualize. *shutter*
I was blown away by the ending, wasn't sure how you were going to explain it. and although the idea of wash having any God-like powers is frightening... I loved how you made it okay that this happened in the end. Oh and that Zoe was able to recognize his work.
