“Jaaaaaayne!”
“Yeah, Mal?”
“What the gorram hell is this?”
“Oh! That! Weeell, that’s a trike, Mal.”
Palm. Face. Sigh.

“I found it on Cyprion. Brought it back with me. Ain’t it Cool?”
“Waitta…How…~*sigh*~…I was with you the whole damn time we were dirtside! How the hell did you get that damn thing back on the ship?”
Toothy grin.
“I’m sneaky.”
“Jayne.”
Bigger grin.
“Jayne!”
“Reaaaaally sneaky…”
“JAYNE!”
Pout.
“Get rid of it, takes up to damn much room.”
Bigger pout.
“no.”
“What?”
“I don’t wanna.”
Brow furrow.
“Get this thing off my ship!”
“Now, Mal, I don’t ask for too much…”
“You ask for crap all the time!”

“Uh, not really…”
Bigger sigh.
“…he’s sleepin’.”
“Take it he don’t know you put streamers on the handlebars?”
Proud sunny smile.
“Shiny, ain’t they?”
“You best get off that thing, before he wakes up. I don’t want to go searching for a new mechanic.”

“Just what the hell do you mean by turn…”

“And then wrestle control from you in your weakened state? I think that’s a mutiny…”
“It’s not a mutiny! It’s just, nobody’s giving me a straight answer! There all going behind my back, doing things I don’t want them doing…”
“You know what that sounds like to me, sir?”

“A mutiny.”

Can't breathe...laughing too hard...oh man. That was fantastic. I LOVE the idea of everyone wanting a turn, and Mal's reaction to the whole thing in general. I can't pick a best bit, everyone's voices were spot-on. BRILLIANT piece, do more!
'Feels like I'm driving something cool..!'
'You do know you drive my GORRAM SPACESHIP!' :)) Love it!
