River stared out the port window of the cargo bay door watching as the bonfires roared and the Triumph settlers danced around them. Even through the thick metal she could make out the lively music and stared longingly, swaying with the tune.
In her mind, River moved with her faceless partner in and around the dancers before her, leaning back in his arms as he lead her around turn after turn. She closed her eyes and reached up to touch the hull of the ship, wishing she could push through the dense steel and be on the other side.
"Mei mei?"
Simon's heart broke as she turned around at the sound of his voice, her eyes filled with the yearning to join in the festivities. He had seen her through the infirmary window and couldn't stand it. Simon had busied himself, reviewing some of River's test results while the others had left, and River had been sleeping. He had given her a smoother to make it easier while the others were gathering to leave.
Inside he had desperately wished he could take River to the party but the last time they had been in contact with the outside world River and he had been kidnapped and ended almost being burned at the stake. That, and they were still fugitives, no matter how backwater the settlement was, some one could still recognize them from their wanted posters that were popping up all over the cortex. He thought it wise to stay on the ship, but it still caused him pain. Now she was up and he couldn't keep her from the merriment that surrounded them outside. As he reached out and tried to pull her away fr
I always wondered why Simon and River, and even Kaylee, since we don't see her there, they weren't at that celebration dance. They missed the captain's weddin' after all! hee!
Have you listened to the commentary on 'Shindig'? Simon and Kaylee were supposed to dance and it was cut out of the final draft of the script. So upsetting! sigh
You write Simon's idiocy so well, and I think River really comes across here as a girl who's trying to remember something of her old life without dwelling on the past. It's not an easy balance.
Besides I can just see Kaylee traipsing back to the ship with armfuls of food because she'd feel bad they couldn't have any. Just perfect!
Sure, she says that now
Very awesome

Hahaha, perfect Simon. I like how he's utterly helpless when River and Kaylee team up together. Never underestimate feminine wiles.
I like ^this^ description of Kaylee.
*He recalled thinking that he should take large breaths, breathing the smoke would make them pass out faster, rather than burning alive.*
^Very morbid thoughts^, but from a smart doctor like Simon they make perfect sense.
Yay very much for the Simon/Kaylee/River dancing scene.
*Maybe this time when the dance ended, he would kiss her.*
What a freakin boob he is. I liked both of these missing scenes.
