A/N: Thanks for all the comments, kids. They were much appreciated. Enjoy once more!

Kaywinnit Lee Frye was born in a hospital on Harvest. Not many people would imagine that. People asked where she was born, she’d say Harvest, and they’d all think that meant she was born in a hay barn, wrapped in rutting swaddling clothing or something. For some reason, they didn’t believe that there was an actual sanitary hospital on the entire planet of Harvest.

The planet was pretty small, however, so Kaylee grew up very close to the family that delivered her. Her first boyfriend was actually the son of the doctor who brought her into the world. She didn’t really like him; she just went with him to get close to his father. His father was gorgeous. It didn’t work out with either man, however, and, long story short, she ended up getting grounded for a month.

It wasn’t that she was easy. Far from it. It was just that she learned at an early age that most men were. She never had to wait for a man. When she’d call, they’d come a-running. She didn’t understand why she would have to be ashamed of who she was. People liked her, and she liked people. At the end of the day, everyone went home happy. Who could slight her for that?

When she got on Serenity though, a new relation monopolized her life. She had always loved the machinery in a ship. And Serenity was the pinnacle of machinery.

Sex became less and less important to her until it finally rid itself completely from her mind.

That is, until he came along.

A genius, beautiful, doctor ended up hitching on her ship! And in the grand tradition of irony,
