THE BEST DECEPTIONS.
"You still on that rat trap of a sinking kettle?"
Kaylee smiled into the cortex screen in Inara's shuttle. Those blue eyes had always been enough to hypnotize her, had always made her a little giggly. Now they were just making her ache a little. It had been too long, too damn long.
"You shush up, Daddy, Serenity is the best ship I ever sailed in an' you know it."
There was a small ripple of laughter.
"It's the only ship you ever sailed in, girl." A pause. "You comin' home any day soon? Your ma misses ya somethin' awful, an' Joe and Betty have a new girl you ain't even seen yet."
"And you?"
"Well," she wasn't fooled by the gruffness, "didn't you hear? Joe and Betty got a new girl, I got no time for missin' folk who ain't here."
"Don't you listen to him, sunshine." The screen filled with her mother. "He's the one bellyaching all the time about you. He misses you more'n the rest of us put together."
"Well, ain't one of you know how to help me in the shop worth a damn."
Kaylee reached out to the screen and wanted to touch them.
"Who else you gonna be missing, daddy, if not for folks who ain't there?"
There was a sigh and Kaylee tried to figure out which of them had given it.
"How you doin', really? You tell me the truth now."
"I'm fine, daddy."
"You sound tired, you getting enough sleep?"
"Ma, I'm good. I promise."
"Don't harass the girl, Mary."
"I ain't harassing her. Just statin' the truth. Lord knows what kind of life she's
Kaylee can obviously talk anyone into anything!
more please more
I'm gonna be late to work cause I had to read this RIGHT NOW! I couldn't wait!
Keep it comin'!
;P
And Jayne with a baby? Awwww!
And this:
"Good lord, child, how do you walk straight in the morning?"
Best. Line. Ever.
I laughed so hard I scared my cat.
I ALWAYS love your Jayne/Kaylee fanfic, and this is no exception. Brilliant!!!
Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!
Jayne and Kaylee pretending to be a couple for a whole week.......... Will they stop pretending and become a real couple by the end????!!! I can't wait to find out.......
You might want to include why she didn't choose Simon for this. Like he couldn't pull off the acting, his fugitive status even out there or knew he'd feel uncomfortable with a rustic setting, etc.
Absolutely the only thing I don't like about it is that it's waaay too similar to Christmas at my grandparents' house. Everyone even talks the same way. In other words, wonderful original characters, and all painfully true-to-life.
The Kaylee cajoling and Jayne's squirming at the beginning, then the courtship - those were all terrific. I even wish they had remained emotionally distant like that for longer. Seeing crass, gruff Jayne fumbling along entirely oblivious to his feelings (or manners) makes it more romantic in a way. I'm sure it would have been difficult to maintain that in a story this long and detailed, though.
That said, the part that made me laugh the loudest was this: "It ain't that captain of yours is it? Reynolds? 'Cause I gave him a talkin' to when you was here last an if he's gone and..."
Just the idea of that conversation had me in stitches. I wanna read *that* story!
oh, happy, happy days...*sigh*
- Zoe said that Mal said that Inara said that Kaylee said you're kinda swai.
- What? What in the gorram hell you been smokin', Wash?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! somehow, i always wash seemed like the gossipy type
"Good lord, child, how do you walk straight in the morning?"
