A/N: So, this was mostly inspired by 'Out of Gas', the formation of the crew, and how much they all care about their family and home aboard Serenity. There will be 9 drabbles, one for every main character, and I'm hoping it will help me with my character voices. Here are the first three...

Mal
She weren't exactly what I was expectin', if I was really expectin' anythin' at all.
Fair few dozen in that yard I coulda chose from, but not a one of 'em meant a thing.
Y'know them movies they make, eyes of a pair of young 'uns meetin' across a crowded room?
That's kinda how it was, 'cept no human woman never gave me such a feelin'.
I saw her, I knew she'd stick with me through thick and thin, keep me flyin' as long as I took care.
Found her and named her all in a minute - my Serenity.
