Simon Says: Mal
Thursday, September 14, 2006
This will eventually be a little series of conversations Simon has with each of the crew. Mal’s the captain, so his goes first.
CATEGORY: FICTION TIMES READ: 1933 RATING: 9.0 (G) SERIES: FIREFLY
As always, I have no narrative style, so these are written like little screenplays. Feel free to edit, critique, to your heart’s content.
Also, a quick plea for more S/K scenes to help me make it through the day.
---------------------------------------
Scene opens:
Kaylee is twirling in the cargo bay in a very cute sundress, with River’s rapt attention. Two bags sit at her feet.
Kaylee: And there was another one just like it in blue, but I just thought the pink was just, well, so much pinker!
(Simon comes over, admires Kaylee, smiles): It’s beautiful. It..it suits you....
(Kaylee beams)
(River laughs): I wish I could get something.
Kaylee: Oh! There was something perfect for you! It was this tiny little stringy number with a bias cut...
(River is thrilled...Simon, not so much)
River: Not like this? (Gestures and a kind of doll hodge-podge from hell outfit she happens to be wearing)
Kaylee: (Confused) No honey, not like that at all.
River: Good! I hate this! I hate all my clothes.
Kaylee: Let’s go!
Simon: (Steps forward, a little suddenly) No!
Kaylee/ River (Both taken aback)
Simon: It...it’s not safe. You can’t go out there.
Kaylee: (smiling) Oh, don’t worry about that none. We’re weeks away from any real outposts and there aren’t...
Simon (cuts her off, a little harshly): Kaylee. I really have to insist on this.
Kaylee: Well I could..
Simon: I said no. That’s final. It’s not safe, she’s not going. River, come on, it’s time for your medications. (Leads River away)
River: (Sad but compliant) Liar liar pants on fire.
Kaylee (looks heartbroken)
(Mal enters)
Mal: You buy a new evaporator coil and you’re happy and you buy some new dresses and you’re sad? There’s something wrong with you and I love it.

Later, Mal walking through stores and stalls of a bazaar, not really looking at anything in particular. Spots Simon talking with a vendor, who’s holding a fancy looking watc
>Mal: Or, you could sell off all your clothes bit by bit and end up well-moneyed and naked, which, come to think of it, she might prefer.
That line was so great as was the vendor all confused when Simon wanted 5 shirts and 5 DRESSES! LOL!
I hope you continue to write more:)
And since you are pleading for more S/K fic, I can give you a whole long list! I'll PM it to you:)
Mal: (Gets it) Kaylee.
Simon: And my humiliation is complete. Thank you.
Mal: (Sighs) You’re welcome, I hate not seeing something through to the end….
I can't wait to read more! And if you like S/K, I could pimp my own fic (the current one is A New Day) but I'm sure Leiasky will take good care of you on that front. You can also click on her name and get a whole list of S/K - she writes some mighty fine Silee goodness!
I can't wait to read Simon's convos with the rest of the crew.
Simon's watch is worth more than Serenity? That just scares me on some level.
I MUST see the rest of the crew's conversations with Simon. Bring it on!
She really would.
More S/K.
You can't take the sky from me
Only thing I would question is Mal's line to Kaylee about there being something wrong with her and loving it. Now...Mal could utter this, and sell it as humour quite well, but it just seems a tad snarky for that kind of situation.
