A/N: Just a short fic about my two favourite characters. Please comment!
"I had a bad feeling about you from the start".
The T-Rex let out a gruff, sinister laugh as he advanced on the Stegosaurus, clearly intent on violence.
The Stegosaur backed up until he stumbled to a stop, feeling nothing but empty air under one of his hind feet. Turning his head to confirm that, yes, he was right on the edge of the cliff top, Steg faced T-Rex once more with all the false bravado he could muster. "You really expect to get away with this?"
"I expect you to die!" T-Rex bared his ferocious teeth and prepared for attack….
"What is the Jayne-man doing?"
The toy dinosaurs fell to the floor as Jayne jumped out of the pilots chair, shooter in hand. "Gorram it crazy! What in the hell are you doin' up here this time a' night?" River just giggled as Jayne scowled at her.
"He did not answer the girl, although from what was overheard, and the evidence upon the floor the girl could hazard a guess – " " T'ain't no ruttin business of yours moonbrain" Jayne cut in as he holstered his weapon, brushing past River as he rushed out of the cockpit.
River turned around, calling out to Jayne's retreating back "The girl will keep his secret, if he will let her play next time."
Jayne stopped and spun back around, trying to stare down the girl, but River maintained her usual serene mask looking like she could wait all night. "Fine….but you tell anyone, ain't no-one in the Verse can protect you from me, not even Cap'n….and the T-Rex is mine girlie, so keep your paws off it!"
Jayne stormed back to his bunk, as River scooped up the toys from the floor.
Holding them up in front of her, she whispered "You've escaped this time Stegosaur, but I shall have my revenge." Cradling the dinosaurs in her hands, River curled up in the pilots chair, humming softly to herself as she stared off into the black depth of space.
