“Whoo!”

Three figures looked up at a male’s voice shouting with glee. Zoe and Mal looked over at their companion, the other woman giving a little smirk and a shrug. The woman brushed some auburn hair from her brown eyes, resting her arms loosely over the gun in her lap again. “Wha’ can I say, ‘e ‘as fun.” Just one more soldier now under Mal's command, Josephine was one of the few women he knew besides Zoe that would be willing to go on the dangerous missions. However, as Mal knew well, the best way to get her upset was to use her given name: she was known only as Josie on the battlefield.

Josie smiled. “’Aving fun?” she asked as she looked over at Leo.

Leo leaned over and gave his wife a kiss, Josie smiling and kissing his cheek in turn. “Of course I'm having fun, Josephine,” answered Leo, leaning his back against the wall of the foxhole again.

Leo smirked. “You’re just jealous, Mal.” A thought seemed to strike Leo, and he looked over at Josie. “Think I should bring a souvenir back for Little Josie?”

Josie gave her husband a questioning look. “Wha’ kind of souvenir?”

“Maybe the arm of an Alliance drone?”

“I don’ think tha’s such a grea’ idea, sweetie,” answered Josie, shaking her head.

“Phooey,” said Leo, pouting.

Zoe gave a small smile. “I don’t think your daughter would like an arm much, anyway,” she
