*While he waits for CMS to awaken, PR considers maybe using the wish-powder to bring Soul back to the land of the living.*

I guess it could work. But then again... I doubt Needleseye would be very pleased if he came back splattered in a bloody mess all over her...and I doubt anynone else would be too pleased.

Poor Soul.


*He looked at Serenity.*

Poor Serenity. I can't believe I'm gonna tell her this.

*Waits*

Safe wanders the corridors of Sereni-TREE lost in thought. Firing his guns in combat has long since lost it's impact on him. It had become second nature. A thought that had disturbed him at one time. He had had a harder time dealing with casualties of combat. He had always blamed himself for the losses. That's why he preferred working by himself.

Jack didn't count. He was a kindred spirit and could take care of himself. He knew the risks. Jack was less of a partner, more of another weapon in Safes arsenal. As impersonal as that may seem, it was the only way Safe could insulate himself.

What Safe couldn't shake, was the connection he was starting to feel to the band of people he had just fought with. The loss of the man named Soul had affected him more than he was willing to admit. While it wasn't as bad as what he had seen behind the grim face of the Gunslinger and on the naked faces of the rest of the crew of this boat, it was there none the less.

*Serenity travels the deserts of her mind. She walks a path between the living and the dead. She is exhausted, her journey has been long and hard, but still she pushes herself forward. Mile after dusty mile she travels, haunted by visions and dreams that tumble over her like so many ocean waves.*

*Suddenly she sees something on the path ahead of her. A figure stands out starkly in the torn and twisted landscape. *

Soul.

*She begins to run but stumbles. There is a hand reaching to help her up and then she is in his arms.*

*An eternity passes, or just a few minutes, and neither says a word. Then Soul stirs, reaches a hand up to brush the hair off her face and kisses her forehead.*

You have to go back now.

I don't want to go back. I want to stay with you.

You have to go back. They need you.

I know.

*She turns her head away. It hurts to look at him. A single tear runs down her cheek and he wipes it away with his thumb and turns her face back to his.*

*They kiss. One last, sweet, kiss farewell.*

I will love you forever.

*And he is torn from her arms. She screams his name, reaching for him as the wind howls around her.*


SOUL!!

*Serenity sits straight up in the bed in the med lab. PsychicRiver is at her side, trying to force her to lay back down. She grabs his arm, her eyes wild as she takes in her surroundings. Finally, her breathing calms and she lays back down.*

How are you doing? *PR asks tentatively after a few silent minutes.*

It hurts all over. And I'm very thirsty *she admits.*

*PR brings her a glass of water and she sips at it, puts it down. PR fidgets for a bit and then clears his throat.*

Serenity, there's something I have to tell you. Soul...

*She interrupts him.* I know. I already know.

*And she turns on her side, her back to him, her face to the wall.*

I'm so sorry.

*A few seconds silence pass, and she doesn't answer. She doesn't move.*

You...uh, you broke your wing. TRM fixed you up, but, it'll take a few weeks to heal properly.

*Silence.*

Can I...get you anything?

CMS: No thank you.

I-I have something, for you.

*PR wasn't sure if this was the right time to give it to her, but he felt that she needed something of his. Something to do hold onto.*

*She turned around to face PR slowly.*

*He reached down to the floor, and picked up Soul's bow, and quiver.*

*He extended them to Serenity.* He would have wanted you to keep it.

Static! Thankee, sai, for the DT ref. How about some talk about y'all meeting up at the clearing at the end of the path later in the Sereni-Tree tale?

Sigh. Nice to see another member of the ka-tet. Warms my heart up considerable.

Ooh, BF, I forgot to tell you. In the 6th Formers common room, at school, I went in there one afternoon, and my friend had drawn some pictures of me and others on the whiteboard. Mine had a speechbubble that said "Blah, blah, Firefly, blah." And I immediately thought of you!
