Simon tossed and turned all night. He had become accustomed to holding Kaylee when they slept. He missed the heat of her lying against him, her hair and the scent of it. Not to mention the bad dreams. He had awoke twice from some mysterious figure with an exceedingly enormous gun shooting at him. His nerves were shot by the morning.

The rest of the day was filled with Kaylee’s irresistible anticipation. Every one on the ship was just as excited as she was, except for Simon, he was excited in a whole other way. A home cooked meal, and maybe some drink, the prospect of a fine time was always welcomed by the crew of Serenity.

With a few minutes left before they would land, Kaylee was eagerly changing into her new dress that she had picked up in Three Hills. It was similar to her flowered one, with the wrap tie and short skirt, in the prettiest green she had ever laid eyes on. There were a few tiny embroidered birds on it, painstakingly intricate and even though it was second hand, Kaylee had fallen in love with it like it was brand new.

She had scrubbed all the grease off her face and body, it was pink and flushed with the effort. Her hair was freshly washed, dried, and laid soft and shiny around her face. She smiled in the mirror as she felt the rumble of Serenity hitting atmo. Quickly slipping on her shoes, Kaylee raced out from the room and headed to the cargo bay.

Assembled by the mule, except River and Mal, busy with landing the ship, they were all dressed in their nicest clothes. Kaylee beamed even brighter, the thought that they all wanted to make a good impression on her family. Even Jayne had put on his whorin’ outfit.

“Y’all look so pretty!”
