I have been working on this story for a while now. Though I'm not sure where it is heading yet, but I guess we will find out.

Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Firefly or its beautiful characters, but I do own the ones I made up :)

"Ryan Malcolm Reynolds!" the five year old slowly turned towards the source of his name being called. A women with curling dark hair stood at the entrance of a giant ship, "Ryan Malcolm if you take one more step when your father gets back he will hear about this!" The young boy stood his ground wanting to be defiant and even after being threatened with the "father card" his big blue eyes never lost their insolent sparkle. He smiled and took another step right into someones legs, when he looked up he was met with the same eyes he held. The boy stared up at his father not taking a breath, thinking if he did it may have been his last for disobeying his mothers wishes. The man looked down at his son, picked him up all while laughing at just how much his little boy was like him and started towards his frustrated looking wife.

Elven years later

"Ryan!" I awoke to my name being called. I sat up in my bed and looked around my messing bunk, slightly disorientated. When I finally realized where I was someone yelled for me again. This time I could hear that it was in fact Jayne who had woke me up. It better be for a gorram good reason too. I swung my feet off my bed and stood up, while walking towards the entrance to my bunk I pulled on a pair of pants and a button up shirt only buttoning the bottom three. Before I distended up the ladder I put on some socks and my converse shoes. I pressed the button on the wall and while I climbed the ladder the entrance to my bunk opened. I stepped out into the hall and made my way to the cargo bay. I walked onto the catwalk and leaned against the railing looking at the scene below me.

"You summoned me." I said so everyone would stop yelling for me. Curtis was the first to notice me.

"Well look who decided to show! Its about gorram time! I myself was 'bout to go drag you out of your cave." Curtis said staring up at me.

I laughed, " You do that, boy I will toss you out the airlock and wont ever look back." I replied back walking down the stairs.

Curtis glared and walked past me mumbling about how he ain't a boy more like a man. I walked over towards my dad who was talking to Jayne and Zoe. Dad was busy telling them what they ought to be doing and such, when I walked up he gave me a look to show that he wasn't to pleased with my sleeping in. Though after a moment his expression softened some.

"Ryan so you decided you wanted to come along after all. Good cause I was bout to bring Curtis in your place." he finally smiled and stopped with the hard ass captain act.

"Jien tah-duh guay! That hwoon dahn cant take my place without a fight. Plus he can barely aim a gun to save his life."

"Ain't that a lot of talk from you. Just remember who is in charge." Jayne growled.

I stood my ground and looked Jayne in the eyes I recently had a large growth spurt so we stood at the same height now, "Lot of talk from yourself, too. And I know who is the captain of this here boat so there's no need to remind me."

Jayne glared at me, "S'not talkin about who is captain, I was referring to who out of all you holds the most authority."

"I-"

"I'd take it as a kindness if you two would stop your damn bickering." Dad said cutting me off and looking between Jayne and me.

I smirked and stepped back, "I'll be the better man," With that said I turned towards Dad "So what are our plans today? Alliance bank heist? Stealing from the rich and selling to the poor?" He only smiled.

"No, actually Badger has a job or two for us so we were gonna head into town."

"Oh, and I am needed why?" I asked while leaning up against the Mule.

"Cause if you're gonna be the captain of this ship you need to know how to get jobs-" Just then Momma walked over.

"And because no one can withstand that handsome face of yours." she said coming up to me and buttoning the rest of the my buttons on my shirt.

"Only cause he has so much of you in 'em, 'Nara." Dad replied with a wide grin.

"Actually I can't take all the credit, he is your little twin after all."

I snickered and looked down at my shoes. When I looked back up I saw Ash walk in, her blonde hair was in a messy bun and her bright blue eyes were trained on me. She looked like she was on a mission. She came up to me and held something out in her hand, I was too busy studying the look on her face to notice what it was.

"Ry, you might be needin these." I glanced down and saw that she had my belt, pistol, and my brown coat.

"Thanks Ash." I said while grabbing the items and putting on my coat and belt and placing my

.44 in its holster. I looked back at her.

"Casey wanted me to remind you that we are going out on the town later."

"Oh yeah, I'm still goin. So what are you gonna be doing while we are gone?" I asked hoping she wouldn't be worrying about me, last time she practically had a panic attack though she hadn't told nobody but me.

"Dad is giving me flying lessons again, though I'm not sure if I want them...I still don't know if I want to be a pilot..." she said gazing down at the floor.

"Well you have to have 'em if you are gonna be MY pilot you better be half as good as your dad." I'm not sure if I regretted saying that or not cause after I did I noticed a faint blush creeping into Ash's cheeks.

"Well if you're gonna be MY cap'n then you better get going so your dad doesn't choose someone else." she joked halfheartedly knowing I am somewhat touchy on the subject even though I already knew I was to inherit Serenity one day, since Dad had been teaching me all the"captainy things" since I could crawl.

"Yeah, I guess so." I said while climbing into the passenger side of the mule. I watched as Ash went back to the bridge and when I turned around I noticed Dad had been sittin' next to me the whole time.

"One of these days you two need to stop your dancin 'round each other." he said looking me in the eyes.

"Yes, I know." I replied with a sigh.

So this is just the first chapter, I'll will probably finish the next one tonight or tomorrow.
