Drops of Jupiter - Out of Step (Chapter 7)
Monday, September 4, 2006
Simon is pleased with Kaylee's progress, while Jayne broods bitterly on the selectiveness of Kaylee's memory loss, and even moreso as Kaylee finally remembers some things about her best friend and is perhaps over-eager to let her know. --- FINALLY I've updated. Sorry it took me so long. Simon/Kaylee, PG. I still have no idea how long this fic is going to be. xD

Miss a chapter? Click a link to read that chapter! , , , , , The first thing Kaylee was aware of when she woke was bright florescent lights shining through her eyelids, tainted red by her skin. She opened her eyes slowly, blinking rapidly to get used to the brilliant light, wondering why someone hadn't turned off the lights for the night. She gave a soft moan as she shifted slightly, starting a bit as she realized there was someone half leaning on her. Kaylee carefully lifted her arm, wincing slightly at the stiff soreness in her muscles, and brushed some strands of hair from Simon's face, a small smile curling her lips as she watched him. He was fast asleep, clearly had fallen asleep while sitting with her, and she greatly appreciated his concern. Kaylee sighed and carefully sat up a bit, shifting Simon so he lay partially on her lap, freeing her upper body. She was feeling much better, albeit quite sore, but she knew that would pass in time. Her head still hurt fairly sharply where the large cut was, but she was able to push it to the back of her mind for now, and did her best to ignore it. Kaylee frowned slightly, trying to figure out exactly what had happened. Simon had said she'd fallen... but she couldn't remember where, or when, or how. She felt like there was a small chunk gone from her memory, a black area that her memory couldn't recall, but she knew it was there. It was lik
Holy cliffhangers batman! Honestly, I love everything about this. The pace, the action, the characterization, all of it. It's very well written.
I definitely can't wait to see more!
Thank you for updating - I have been hoping to read more of this! Please don't keep us waiting too long for the next chapter!
I think Mal's going to be rather pissed. He'll blame Simon for allowing Kaylee to walk (and run) so soon, even if we all know that any attempt to stop her would have gotten him yelled at.
You do intend to let Kaylee have a brain left by the end of this, right?
Okay, thats out of my system... good work here, I liked the characterizations, especially when Kaylee woke up, and I think you got Jayne dead on (not an easy thing for many authors to do).
As to how long it took to post this one, well, let's just say "PLEASE, don't leave us here for long (yes, a day is a long time :) ), it's just heartbreaking.
I agree with goblueguy about the EVIL thing, and about the Jayne characterization. Kudos.
Anyway, just popped by again to say update soon or I hurt you.
*grin*
Comatose huh? What a way to end this chapter....great cliff-hanger especially since she'd just woke up and seemed to be beginning to get her memory back.
Poor Jayne though, I can't possibly imagine why she wouldn't remember him...maybe he really doesn't leave any lasing memories with people...heh.
Anyway, get back to writing, I'm glad your muse visited you.
So go write! You know I wanna read more of this! You know how wibbly some of this stuff makes me! Hee!
