More Than Two Mistakes

The crew walked down a dusty yellow pathway. They were on their way to their next job.

"Hey!" Wash said, grinning from ear to ear, "It's the yellow brick road! The pathway to our next pay day!"

Kaylee giggled from next to him, then began skipping.

"C'mon" she said, lightly linking arms with Simon, who sort of just dragged along next to her. River trotted over to Simon's other side, now both girls dragged Simon, who looked helplessly back at the rest of the crew.
