| Author's Note: One of my friends really wanted this to be slash, which is why I was divided, but it just wasn't working for me with this story so I kept it gen. I may write a slash sequel or a kind of epilogue for her, but as it is this part works as an end and a standalone gen story. Thanks again to everyone that reviewed, it's much appreciated, and I'm sure the first part of the story would still be sitting neglected on my hard drive if you hadn't helped motivate me to finish it… "On the bed," Simon said to Mal. He walked to the counter and pulled out a syringe, then he grabbed a bottle of clear liquid and filled it up. He glanced back up at Mal, who hadn't lain down and was watching him.

As a slasher, I love reading anything with Mal/Simon undertones and this one did have plenty of them even if it was just a Gen. I love that River was there to look out for her brother especially since he's the one always trying to look out for her and everyone else.

LOVELY!!!! JUST LOVELY!!!
