To Have and To Hold, Probably
Monday, June 20, 2005
On the Serenity site there's a challenge to write the wedding vows for Zoe and Wash. I couldn't resist.
CATEGORY: FICTION TIMES READ: 2936 RATING: 9.0 (PG) SERIES: FIREFLY
MINISTER: So, are we all ready?
ZOE: You sure about this, hon?
WASH: Absolutely. Are we supposed to be wearing those robe things?
MINISTER: If you like, but it’s not--
ZOE: Because if it’s just to get me into bed, I was all ready to go without the preacher here to nod at me. In fact, I thought we were just about to--
WASH: Not even on my mind. Well, OK, it’s been on my mind a little. OK, I walked into several walls on the way over here, but I love you, Zoe. I want us to be together first, all official like. I’m old fashioned. Also, insanely jealous. This is legally binding, right? Can they make the rings really tight?
ZOE: Didn’t have anything to do with the captain being away on a job overnight?
WASH: I am offended by the very accusation. You don’t think he’ll come back early, do you?
MINISTER: Would you like a few moments? Couples often have last minute discussions that occasionally get quite spirited. We have a special room right back here. It’s padded. Breakable furniture is available, for a small fee.
WASH: We’re good, fire it up.
MINISTER: Fair enough. Let’s see, I’ve got your paperwork right here, let’s begin. Hoban—
ZOE: Wait a minute. “Hoban”?
WASH: Why do you think I go by “Wash”?
ZOE: I may want to rethink this.
WASH: Hurry, man, before she comes to her senses! The drugs will wear off soon!
MINISTER: Um, yeah, Wash, ni yuan yi qu Zoe zuo wei ni de qi zi ma, yu ta zai sheng shen de hun yu zhong gong tong sheng huo? Wu lun shi ji bing huo jian kang, ping qong huo fu yu, mei mao huo shi se, shun li huo shi yi, ni dou yuan yi ai ta, an wei ta, zunjinta, bao huo ta? Bi yuan yi zai ni men yi sheng zhi zhong dui ta yong yuan zhong xing bu bian?
WASH: Yupper.
MINISTER: And Zoe, ni yuan yi qu Ho... um, I mean Wash, here, zuo wei –
MAL: Wow! Is this a party? Are there presents?
WASH: Oh, jiba dan.
KAYLEE: I don’t believe you two were doing this without us! We didn’t have a bridal shower or dress rehearsals or fertility festivals or t
You can't take the sky from me
you made me laugh out loud at work.
good thing i wasn't drinkin' coffee or i'd be wiping down my keyboard and monitor 'bout now.
: )
one of my co-workers is wondering what i was giggling at here at my desk.
(a good way to convert someone, no?) anyway, that was really funny...and even sweet.
Favorite Part:
MAL: I’m getting a little weepy myself.
KAYLEE: Then why do you look mad?
MAL: That’s how I get when I’m weepy. Inside I’m sobbing like a little girl, honest.
*chortle*
KAYLEE: Good point. Thank you, cap’n!
WASH: You think she’s ever gonna stop hitting him?
OH DEAR GOD, YOU'RE KILLING ME!!! *gasps for breath between laughing fits*
*dies of laughter*
*comes back*
JAYNE: Am I too late? Do I get to kiss the bride? I done brushed my teeth and everything. Is she pregnant yet?
ZOE: Dear? Would you defend my honor by holding my coat while I beat up this man?
WASH: Anything for you, lambikins. I’m your rock.
*dies laughing again*
Wonderful!!
