"Simon is lookin' everywhere for you," Zoe told Kaylee's boots.
"I ain't here."
"Somethin' about Mal and Jayne."
"How'd he find out about Jayne?"
"Don't know," Zoe shrugged as she sat down on the pilot's seat. "I think Jayne told him."
Kaylee's curse word was blocked out by the sudden popping and accompanying sparks from the wires. "Him and his big mouth. We weren't even together that long!"
"Longer than when you went out with Wash."
"Hey, it was one date and even then it was just to a ship convention so I could get a compressor!"
"He spoke highly of it," Zoe laughed.
"He did?"
"No. I was just tryin' to be nice."
"I heard from Simon that you think Mal's got a thing for River."
"Don't think, know."
"I KNEW IT!"
She winced at how high Kaylee's voice could go. "He told me so. He's kinda scared, but somethin' tells me River will make the first move."
"This is so shiny! They'd be sweet together."
"They would."
She slid out from under the wires with a grin. "I'm glad River can have somebody. She deserves some normalcy and all."
"That she does."
"You think that they'll make it if they do get together? And they will. I got a bet to win."
"Cap'in has a heart. It's guarded up, but that don't matter if you're a reader. Besides, she's already kissed him."
"No! Really?"
"On the cheek, but yeah."
Simon bounded onto the bridge. "There you are!"
"Simon, please calm down," Kaylee tried. He ignored her.
"I want to talk about your history with Mal and Jayne!"
"And Wash," Zoe added. Kaylee glared at her. She merely smiled and left the two kids alone.
"I KNEW IT!" was all she heard Simon shout before she got out of earshot.
