Hello! Sorry for the massive gaps in between updates. First I had exams, then I had to do everything at home while my sister revised for her medical school exams. Then I had to redo some course work essays (a 1500, 1800 and two 2500 word-ers) and then some Gypsies stole the telephone and internet cables leading into my village which has taken weeks to repair (and is still not done). However now I have nearly finished my essays so hopefully more chapters (all the coping ones) will be complete soon and the main story can begin. Thanks for reading and please review!


Serenity – Engine Room

Kaylee was working on the engines. Whilst Mal and the Earthforce people tried to straighten out what would happen to them all Kaylee needed something to do and Serenity always needed something tuned, replaced or simply bodged. 'Sides it help her to think and right now she was thinking about Simon. She'd been sweet on him since he came on board and had guessed that he thought the same way about her. Ever since the events on Miranda they had been going steady and it was nice to see him relax more. River was better so they had more time together but now he was quieter all the time. Kaylee was worried for him as she un screwed the cover over a hydraulic linkage assembly to see why it was sticking. She hoped that he would be feeling better soon and willing talk over whatever was troubling him. Kaylee was sure that he was the one and maybe he was just working up the nerve to ask her a very important question, after all it had taken a near death experience at the hands of a psychotic, cannibalistic horde of the most evil men in the galaxy for him to even ask her out. As she started to clean and grease the components that needed it she resigned her self that he would talk when he was ready.
