ONE MAN’S TRASH (08)
Part (05)
Follows . Precedes . The series so far: The crew has dinner with Juju Kamara and Mal tells how he found Serenity. | * * * Serenity set down on Juju Kamara’s side of the world as Friday prayers were drawing to a close. Mal looked around at his crew with some pride as he prepared to lower the ramp. They cleaned up well. Zoe had amazed him by wearing an outfit he had never seen before—a soft brown tunic with a flowing edge, worn over soft, elegant stretch pants. It was practical, but more feminine than anything he’d seen Zoe wear in recent memory, excepting at Wash’s funeral. River wore her usual long dress, with shoes, for a change, but what was striking was the care she had taken with her hair—she’d actually styled it, instead of letting it hang in random curtains. Kaylee was positively glowing, and it wasn’t just that she’d changed out of her overalls and cleaned all the engine grease off her face. Inara, with her impeccable taste, had chosen a dress that was not too fancy for the occasion, but nonetheless made her look special. She stood out. Serenity’s men were l
"You can't take the sky from me!"
“That ship was a deathtrap.”
“You asked me if I paid money for her…on purpose.”
“I said you were robbed.”
Nice to see the crew socialize, and the junkyard. And the dog. :)
Nutluck, River has been saying that since the beginning of Story #7, as soon as she heard that their destination was Beylix, and someone finally got it. Mal does get River better than anyone else. Simon has more history with her, but sometimes that stands in his way. ZoesMom--"12 months..." I have felt that way, myself. Ali D--Simon's troubles are only just beginning. Oh, so glad you liked the Mal and Inara scene--there will be consequences, in more than one way. Glad you liked the Captain's reflections on Simon...again, not mere idle thoughts. m52--it gave me great pleasure to quote Mal and Zoe from "Out of Gas". Bytemite--there's always more to River's comments than meets the eye, isn't there? When the crew of Serenity sits down to socialize, they don't just chit-chat, do they? I had fun writing the dog. I knew Mal would be a natural with the dog (Ali D already showed us that ;-) ) and it just seemed right that Simon wouldn't know how to react appropriately.
