Just a little thing I wanted to tag on, I hope you like it!

"No way! How is that even possible?" Gasped Serenity as she was smoked in one of Murdock's video games. "How did you do that?"

He chuckled. "It's all in the hands, sweetheart!" He winked at her and she rolled her eyes.

Serenity crossed her arms. "It's like all you do is stay inside and play video games." She gave him a smile.

He faked a pout. "I'll have you informed that I do go out and engage in other activities."

She pranced up towards him. "Liiiike what, good sir?"

He leaned down and slipped his hands around her waist, a coy smile on his lips. Before he could say any more, the door was slipped open. The two quickly jumped apart and looked to the door, before promptly relaxing.

"Oh, God. I hope I wasn't interrupting?" Face groaned, exasperated.

"Yes!" Murdock grumbled, throwing a pillow at his friend. "Yes, you were!"

"Well, I'm sorry to break you two lovebirds up, but we need you out of here fast, Murdock." Face looked at Serenity. "Actually, you might be able to help me. Murdock's heavy."

"Hey!"

Serenity just laughed. "Of course."


Minutes later, they came out of the hospital carrying a flailing Murdock, Serenity barely holding in her laughter. She helped him to a point where they couldn't see him anymore and let him go. All three of them walked towards the van. "Actually, Serenity, it might be best if you don't come any closer. Decker is all over us and we don't want him to come down hard on you."

Serenity sighed, not liking what Face said, but understanding it. "All right." She turned to Murdock. "Be careful, all right? I don't want you coming back with holes."

"Or in a casket." Serenity glared at him sternly. He sighed. "I promise I'll try to be careful."

She smiled wearily and kissed his cheek. "You better be." She turned to Peck. "You'll take care of him, right?'

The conman nodded sincerely. "Like always." She nodded to him.

"I'll be home for dinner." Murdock glanced at the Lt, who must've made a face, because he tagged something else on. "Tomorrow."

Serenity smiled and nodded. "Peachy. Have fun, honey!"

Murdock started walking away with Face. "You bet!" Serenity watcher her pilot walk away, praying fervently she'd get to see him again. She knew Hannibal wouldn't let anything happen to him, but she still worried. After a while, she started her walk back to her apartment. She was going to listen to some Chicago.


"Hey Colonel." Hannibal turned towards the Captain.

"Hey Mur-" He blinked in surprise as the pilot crushed him in a bear hug. "Um...nice to see you too?"

The Captain pulled away, dead serious. "That's from Serenity." With that, he hopped into the van with Face and shut the door. Hannibal blinked and then smiled. Well, when you run with a man like Murdock, you can't stay surprised forever. Something else is just around the corner.
