The Captain had got them a new job, a legitimate one, on a decent planet and best of all they’d be workin’ with Monty and his crew.
Kaylee smiled at the beautiful sight of the two Firefly ships docked close together. ‘Course Serenity was the most beautiful, but she and the Falcon looked so comfortable like that. Sorta like their crews, she reflected.
Whenever they got together they had a real fun time. If they stayed overnight there was always a party. She loved Monty’s tales of the Captain durin’ wartime and the Captain’s counterin’ yarns. They drank moonshine, cooked over an open fire and Jayne played the guitar.
The Captain always asked for the Browncoat song that got him and Monty all choked up while Zoë sat stiff and let Wash cuddle her.
Tonight it bought tears to Kaylee’s eyes too and she wanted nothin’ more than to go rest her head on Jayne’s shoulder and snuggle up. But since her words to him in the engine room the mercenary had closed up and moved off.
She’d been tryin’ to get them back on the old friendly footin’ they’d always been on, but so far she’d had little success.
Kaylee still felt she’d been exaggeratin’ things, blowin’ things outta proportion. Chasin’ Jayne away cause he made her feel uncomfortable and confused. He’d only touched her like that once and she was pretty sure it didn’t mean nothin’. In spite of what Zoë said, she couldn’t see any indication that Jayne had any feelins for her and she weren’t sure she felt anythin’ beyond friendship for him.
She didn’t know whether to go over and sit with him or not. As she hovered uncertainly, Dan, the Falcon’s mechanic came over.
