I think your right, a young adventures series wouldn't be that great, but I'm still curious as to what Mal would have been like as a kid. (And I haven't seen the bodyguard movie)

On an almost completely different note, what set of circumstances could possible exist that would cause Simon and Jayne to be, if not freinds, then get along somewhat. I'm planning on writing a fanfic centered on thier non-existant friendship, and I need somehelp with the brainstorming proccess. Thanks

OOOH, theres media we haven't considered though, SHADOW PUPPETS!

The way I see it, Jayne has a younger brother (and in my 'verse, younger sisters) He's certainly used to siblings, and the way he relates to Simon is very like that. If the rivalry over Kaylee is resolved, then they may find a way to get along. Simon has only ever had a little sister, and will need to adjust to 'big brothers' in his world-view. (River is used to tormenting a big brother, and will get on just fine.)

Basically, they will bicker and snark, unless external forces threaten, in which case they will back each other up. And then harp on about it afterwards.

Teen Mal - stroppy teen rather than angry man. Aware of the wider 'verse, but only as it interferes with his life. I always think of Shadow as having 'a sky big as freedom', the sort of clean, clear outdoors world that the thought of industrialising would be criminal. The sense of justice and the sense of humour would still be there, along with the ability to put his foot in his mouth regular-like around girls.
