"River, we should really not be here, mei-mei" Simon told his now 18 year old sister as he was being dragged into the seedy looking bar that was in the not-so-respectable part of the Persephone docks.
"It is the anniversary of her birth and she wishes to spend it with her blood relation" was River reply as she lead him into the smoked covered room
"River I know but I do not understand why you would like to be here in this filthy place instead of on the ship were the others would have loved to throw you a party, that is if you would have let me tell them" he said as he made sure his body did not touch any surface, unless it was strictly necessary.
"Yes, but she wishes to be with Simon her brother not fake Simon who pretends for everyone else" River said as she looked into her loving brothers eye's, Simon tried to look else where
"She remembers the way you and Michael celebrated you're eighteen birthday she saw how happy you where and how for a second you wished you had a brother and not a sister" she whispered more to herself then to Simon, they were snapped out of there thoughts by a waiter who looked and smelled as if he lived in the streets.
"What can I get y'all " his tone said that he was bored out of his mind but River ignored him she was more focused on the turmoil that was happening in Simon's mind.
"The best Tequila, Whiskey, and Vodka you have, Please and Thank you " River ordered before her brother could say anything.
"She know what she dose " River said when she saw Simon was about to protest. The waiter's thoughts were annoying to River, he kept thinking that they did not know what they were doing and he did not trust them so he made up an excuse
"Little lady those are very expensive drinks an unless you can prove you can buy…" before the man could finish Simon put a wad of cash on his serving tray
"I believe this is enough to cover it" Simon said as he looked into Rivers eyes the waiter left without comment
"I am only doing this because it is your birthday but whatever happens stays between you and me." he than extended his pinky finger across the filthy table to her.
"You would have to swear" Simon said as he remember all the other promises that he had kept while growing up just because he had pinky sworn to his baby sister.
"She swears" River agreed happily as she linked her pinky with her brother's
The man with there order came back with three bottles which he reluctantly put down with some shot glass and a bowl of lemons and salt.
"y'all want anything else" the waiter asked while he took a closer look at his strange clients. The boy was in some fancy clothes that just scream Core but, the girl was wearing hand-me-downs, and he doubted that neither had ever even had a beer in there life much less the hard liquor he had just put in front of them but he was pay to serve an not question.
"Ok, River I guess we should first start with a drinking game. Close your eyes and pick a color, " Simon knew that he should be the responsible one but it was rare to have a moment where he and River were alone, Since Miranda River had been doing a lot better she was not as dependent on medication as before and was more lucid,Wash had even started to teach her how to pilot, River was even the co-pilot. But with Simon being romantically involve with Kaylee and him being the medic to a Captain that gets shot more often then not, it's a miracle for him to have a moment alone with his little sister, All Simon really wanted was for River to have fun, god knew she deserved it, so he threw all caution to the wind a let River have her wild night.
"She has chosen her spectrum of light, it is purpura" River said snapping him out of his thoughts
"Ok my is yellow, now every time you see the color yellow and every time I see purple we have to drink"
That is how the night that became know as "The Night of the Terrible Tams" Had started.

Malcolm Reynolds hated to be waken unless it was a life or death situation and his crew respected that and they also knew that who ever did wake him for something trivial were doom to be in septic duty for a month, so when the loud banging at his door came he knew it was an emergency or it gorram better be.
"What in the gorram seven hell is it you want Zoë" was Mal's reply to his second in command as he made his way up from his bunk wearing nothing but his sleeping pants
Zoë did not even blink at her Captain's screams or his lack of proper clothing. She just waited until she was sure her captain was not going to say more
"Sir, I believe we have a situation " she said and started towards the cargo bay with Mal at her heels.
Mal 's still half-sleep mind was not ready for what awaited him in the cargo bay. Over the years Mal learned to hate being woken up with the word's "Sir, I believe we have a situation " because whatever fallowed was never good, like that one time during the war when Zoe had woken him up with that exact phrase, only to find himself tide and left in the middle of a minefield, Or that other time when again Zoe woke him up with the dreaded words, next thing he knew he was being strip searched by some Alliance office, who was in charge of the POW camp he and Zoe later escaped.
None of those times had a patch on the surreality of this one, though
There on the cargo bay lay an unconscious Simon wearing nothing but a pair of cargo pants that were filthy and for some reason Simon was wearing bunny ears and next to him was an also unconscious River, who was dressed in a very sort skirt and a tube top and top it of she had a pair of Kitty Cat Ears on her head. But was more interesting was the bags of money they seem to be using as mattresses
"Huh " was his only responses he could say. He turn to Zoë expecting answerer but she looked as confused as he felt . Simon snuggled closer into the money while mumbling
"Monkeys took my money " Zoë was about say something when Wash's voice interrupted her
"Mal, you would not believe what I just read in the cortex, some crazy people broke into the Persephone Royal Casino's vault and took a lot of money the stupid Alliance has no idea who it was they think it was inside job because it was flawless and …" He stopped mid sentence when he saw Simon and River "…and I guess I am the get way driver for the savvy criminals"
Please tell I should continue this, it is kind of like therapy so i can think of something to do about my writers block have for my others stories. One- shot but mite continue if I get review
