That's what I was thinking Kayt. I even had a big ole idea for a fan fic based on the idea, cept I can't write. I was imagining the Alliance commandeered it or something, a forced buy out and Mal got the pay off, not as much as it was worth no doubt. He probably wanted to just throw it back at them, but Zoe brought him to his senses and they came up with a plan. Had just enough for a down payment on a ship. Serenity is generally considered a junker, remember. I'm guessing some calamity befell his mother, either before or after. He seem's like the type that would visit if she was still around.

Please allow me to pimp some Defender82 at you.
Her "Price Paid" series explores this question.

There's a fairly realistic explantion of a mom, a ranch, a funds transfer and a space-green Mal. The voices are just so and ultimately believable once you've suspended one tiny little sentence of disbelief.
Also, really really tasty Wash'n'Zoe fic, for while you're waiting for her to continue. (Squee.)
