“Tell me ‘bout this place again.” Jayne was uneasy.
Wash rolled his eyes, “It’s just a guest house Jayne. Nothing else.”
“It’s got a funny name.”
“Yeah well Trix always had a thing for swans.” Wash shrugged, “Look Jayne, everyone chipped in to give you this time away with Kaylee. Be grateful. Trix and Rod are old friends; you won’t have any trouble at their place.”

“He’s taking Vera. You’re letting him take Vera?” the captain sounded shocked. “You’re supposed to be going on a gorram romantic holiday, not a war.”
“Sure captain” Kaylee shrugged “you can’t separate a man from his guns. Jayne feels safer when his guns are around. ‘Sides I feel sort of sorry for Vera, she’s been replaced.”
“Remember Mal, it’s not a romantic holiday, it’s a birthday present” whispered Inara.
“One I helped pay for and I don’t want it ruined.” He mumbled “Don’t know how you all talked me into this anyway.”
“Cause it was your plan falling through that prevented their honeymoon sir.” Zoë reminded him. “And you don’t want to disappoint them again.”
“Hey no-one better ruin my birthday” growled Jayne strolling up.
“Please just tell me you ain’t taking any grenades?”
Kaylee laughed at him “No captain, no grenades. Ya look after Serenity now, she better be in one piece when I get back.”

Jayne stepped inside and took a look around. The name was kinda strange but the place looked nice enough. Best room he’d ever stayed in that was for sure.
Kaylee was runnin’ round gushin’ over every s
You can't take the sky from me
It was awesome, better than mine, I'm so totally impressed!!
*Gives you a Kaylee-sized beaming smile!*
Shiny slice of Jaylee life you showed us here, bookaddict. Here's hopin' you continue sharing.
Fave line: "‘Sides I feel sort of sorry for Vera, she’s been replaced.”
Besides that line, I honestly adore Mal observing the intense watchfulness on Jayne's face, the look that says bad guys oughta run for cover.
Shiny, sweet, tender, scary, humourous...you gave it all to me in this one. Keep it up, or there might be grenades. A warning, not a threat.
I can usually sniff Jaylee out a mile away... oh well.
It was worth the wait, very sweet and I really love Kaylee's "I got a ruthless teacher". It shows how much she went through before.
