One of these days, she mused, he was going to learn. Really, it was rather shocking how often this happened. Unfortunately, River had been sitting on the floor right down the hall from Simon and Kaylee's room when the argument started. She could hear every word.
"That's not what I meant!" Simon wailed.
"Then what, exactly, did you mean?" Kaylee asked in a dangerous tone. River almost had shivers.
"It was a joke! Just a joke! You're usually a very pretty woman-"
"Usually?"
"No! I mean…I love you, so it doesn't matter if you look bad-- wait, that's not what I meant!"
"Bao bei?"
"Uhm, yes?"
"Shut up." Kaylee stomped away from their shared room, and towards the engine room. A few minutes later Simon hesitantly stepped out.
He walked over, and slid down the wall to sit next to her.
"Mei-mei?"
"Yeah?"
"Go ahead and say it."
"You're such a boob"
"I know." he rubbed his face. "It was just a joke…"
Bao Bei means Sweetheart
Mei-Mei means sister
Of course, I found that on fan site. I don't actually speak Chinese...so I'm sorry if I'm wrong.
Oh! And please review. I know, I know... sometimes you just don't want to bother, but I really want your opinion. I also really want to know people are reading...also, its great motivation to write more (wink wink, nudge nudge).
