Indeed. And lest we forget, he also taught PeeWee Herman a thing or two about being a cowboy.

I'm not saying I would get carried away in the role; but, as jobs go, it would not suck (maybe I should just pull a King of Comedy on Alan Tudyk). I figure it would be strictly on the up-and-up and professional, so long as she could overlook the occasional "gallant reflex", as Heinlein put it...

I've never had stage fright, which might make for the random awkward moment, when they have to cut because my voice has suddenly broken. I'm sure she'd just find it amusing, by comparison.

Very Respectfully,

Since the mention of character's siblings popped up, I'll create another.
I think I would be Mal's younger sister, maybe I have a run in with Badger after incurring a large debt and he waves Mal and says I can't pay so he'll have to, knowing Mal would. Anyway, my purpose would best be served by becoming Inara's best friend and tell her all sorts of things about bout Mal. I'd tell things he did when we were kids, and any tidbit that might embarrass him or just irritate the heck out of him. All done in an innocent and kindly manner, of course. :) Mal would then wish he could find reasons to leave me on the nearest planet every episode.

Had no siblings, I think I missed out!

Very well done! Your character would fill a needed role by providing us with some background on the less-than-forthcoming Mal. You could not only point out the embarassing moments of Mal's past, but also his inherently courageous nature. Like, when he saved you from drowning, or when he rescued Ma Reynolds' pies from that pesky Finn kid from the neighboring ranch.

I've always seen Mal as a less optimistic version of Tom Sawyer...

Respectfully,

zoid

Well, since this is a complete fantasy...

I'd be a passenger come aboard Serenity, and reveal myself as an Angelic Messenger from God. Book would be all excited, and Mal would be durned pissed.

But that would be too 'out there' for Joss, so in reality I would be exposed as an alien posing as an angel.

Still too out there, the final unexpected twist would seem to be that (since there are no aliens), I'm really a ROBOT posing as an alien posing as an angel.

Then, just before the creedits roll, (since even robots are too unbelievable), it would all have to be some strange illusion created by my totally human but utterly powerful telepathic abilities - as it turns out I am actually River's even crazier cloned twin brother!

Oh, and play Strange Adventures in Infinite Space. http://digital-eel.com/sais

And all this happens in one episode? Wow. Sounds a bit dizzying. But amusing.

I've been trying to come up with some role I could play, but nothing that isn't so Mary Sue-ish I can't bear to type it has come to mind. I guess I'll wait till Zoid and Zoe's baby needs to do a book report for school. Then I can play the sp'librarian that helps him/her find something to read.

Off to grade papers.

Okay, here's mine...and in Fan fic form no less [in case it ain't obv-e-us, I'm Captain Grace]

Mal stepped down the last metal stair from the upper decks to the cargo bay, Zoe close behind, rounding to the console he depressed the button to lower the cargo bay door. He stood with his arms at his sides as the cargo bay opened fully with a dull thud and the orange light of dusk spilled into the area of the cargo bay just inside the opened door.

Moments later two people, a man, average in size, brown hair a pump action rifle slung low over his shoulder and a woman, tall, curvy, with blonde hair and a large hand gun strapped to her hip. Mal moved toward the duo as they stopped just inside the ship and looked around as if accessing it. His hand extended toward the man.

“Captain Grace, I’m Captain Reynolds. I trust you got the cargo here safely.”

The man looked down at Mal’s hand and snarled a bit as the woman stepped forward to take it.

“I’m Grace, Captain. And we are your cargo.”

“Shuh muh?” Mal face fell in slight confusion.

“I said we are the package that you are meant to deliver to Whitefall.” her voice had an air of a challenge on it. “Is that a problem Captain?”

“Yes it’s a gorram problem! We don’t take on passengers. We usually run into a heap ‘a trouble when we do and something tells me you’re trouble is already heads above a heap or you wouldn’t be passing yourselves off as a package.”

Captain Grace smirked at Mal and took note of Zoe as her hand slipped to the but of her gun. Turning her attention back to her fellow Captain she smiled.

“Yes I suppose your right but, my man and I don’t have a lot of time. We need to get off world approximately yesterday and I mean to pay you well for this job.” slowly, so as not to get shot she slid her hand inside her jacket and pulled out a large coin bag and tossed it to Mal. “And there’s one of those for each of your crew when we set down in Whitefall.”

Mal looks up from the bag, his eye brow raised in silent questioning.

“It’s best if you and yours know as little as possible about the whats and whys Captain. Let’s just say the feds are looking to pinch us and good.” She turns to her man and starts giving him orders about their baggage.

From behind them a deep grumbling voice entered the cargo bay just before the large, always impressive figure of Jayne. He was looking down at the orange beanie in his hands and muttering under his breath in Chinese.
“Mal that gorram doctor’s looney bird sister has been in my bunk again," he looked up to the Captain as he reach him. "I swear to God Mal if she don’t stay outta there I’m gonna hang her upside down from the cat walk.”
“Jayne.” Mal says through clenched teeth, looking to the mercenary without turning his head. “In case you haven’t noticed I’m right in the middle of something.”

Jayne huffs and then turns his attention to the new comers. His eyes land on the Captain Grace and his body freezes, mouth half open as the words he was going to say die on his lips. Grace, satisfied that her man new what to do, watched as he vanished from sight.

“I’m afraid I’m going to need an ans...” her head was turning as she spoke and her gaze locked on to the stunned form of Jayne and she halted mid sentence.

The two stared at one another for what seem like hours before Grace moved toward him, slowly, provocatively, as if she’d completely forgotten where she was. Mal watched, his confusion growing by the minute.

“Sir, what’s going on?” Zoe asked from over his shoulder.

Mal shrugged “tyen shiao duh”

They watched as Grace reached Jayne and in one fluid motion wrapped her arms around his neck, her hand cupping the back on his head and pulled him down into a fiery kiss. Jayne seemed stunned for a moment and then his own arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her flush to him as he returned the kiss.

After a few moments Grace broke the kiss and pulled back from Jayne who was now smiling. She smiled up at him.

“Jayne Cobb,” and then suddenly her fist flashed out and connected with his jaw

That was AWESOME! Why didn't I see this when you posted it?? I'm glad I was bored and clicked on this archived thread. What a happy ending...it brought a tear of joy to my eye (sniff).

I would be Inara's sister, rent the other shuttle from time to time, but I wouldn't be a space-whore. I'd just go for business trips and to visit my sis and try to experience how they live and then return home to big city and to my job as a highly successful businesswoman on one of the central planets, working to effect change in the Alliance through my highly influential, political contacts. Then I would hire Serenity for more legitimate jobs, have them find other scavengers like them and build a secret fleet of space ships, then plant moles who have earnest appearances and are highly effective speakers, and who believe in what they are doing into the outer rim planets who would then become beloved heroes by gifting these planets with valuable technology and foodstuffs (I'm rich), introduce new ideology, promote economic growth and self-subsistence so the planets would function on their own w/o alliance help, but remain thankful for our help, and then create the beginnings of a new society from the outer rims loyal to this "new alliance" which would slowly enclose and suffocate the 'Old alliance" And then the repressed and poor from the old alliance would defect or follow our example, refusing to submit to tyranny, Then shift their political system into something much more more democratic, with slight socialistic characteristics (cuz people need help to get started after they've been neglected by the alliance for so long.) Then once this new alliance has been established, my successor (i'd be dead by then) would die from exhaustion after trying to keep it all together, cuz its way easier to conquer a universe than to sustain one. And then I dunno what... Star Trek?
