And Dream of Sheep...

"So, I figure if we keep our heads down until Persephone and get this in Badger's pocket, he'll make the sale." Mal said.

The bridge of Serenity was crowded. Mal, Zoe, Wash, Jayne and Kaylee were all in the tiny space, when they heard the Captain tell them what he had planned with their latest acquisition: 220 ounces of pure filbidium. Enough to power a small town for a year.

So, if we're hauling for Persephone, will we be stoppin' at Europa on the way back?" Kaylee asked expectantly.

"Well..." Mal said

"We haven't been there in near 4 months. I could use a day or two." Wash said, as he lightly touched Zoe's rear. Zoe smiled at Mal.

"I'm gonna go wave Miss Delia!" Jayne yelled, and raced off to his bunk.

"I haven't said yes yet!" he yelled after Jayne.

"Gorram idiot. Ok, Persephone for 24 hours, then we head for Europa. Go on, send your waves. "

Kaylee ran off the bridge, clapping her hands excitedly.

re: We're coming!!!!!

Delia- Guess what! We'll be on Europa in about 48 hours! We gotta get to Persephone for a quick visit then Capt. says we'll be headed your way! I am so excited to see you again!

I was wondering if you would give me a couple lessons on shooting a gun while I'm there. I feel so stupid that I can't do it while everyone else can. But I'm a real quick student and I really want to! Please??? Cap says that he don't want me in a gunfight, but after the skyplex incident, I know I gotta learn.

Can't wait to see you, XOXO Kaylee

Delia read her waves with a smile. She hadn't seen the crew of Serenity in a long time. It would be nice to hav
