Part Sixteen: Valium For Books
Author: Take A Guess
Disclaimer: What in the 'verse? Okay, okay. Put the gun away. I don't own Firefly. I'm doing this story purely for enjoyment, and nothing else. I'm not making a profit and I'm not claiming this as my own. Happy now? *Man with gun nods head* Good, now go. You're scaring away my readers.
Spoilers: You know it
Summary: Another vacation but on Olympus
A/N: Hello. For all my reviewers, I will thank all of you at the end of this story. I hope everyone is liking this, I'm enjoying writing it. I have no clue where this is going but I know that the person talking from before is going to factor into it. Tara's dad may even but... I don't know. My muse is very temperamental sometimes. So, everyone knows the drill. Read, review and enjoy.

" Soon."
~~~~~
" Tara?" The crew had sat down for a victory dinner, compliments of Book and Tara.
" Yeah?"
" What was it ya said when I asked what's so dangerous about the cargo?"
" Nothin' much."
" Huh. So we'll be passin' by Olympus in a week. Any votes to stop and get supplies. Anythin' we need after we get paid?" Simon, Kaylee, and Inara spoke up at once to the question.
" Well, I could use a new coil."
" I want to get some more perfumes."
" We're running low on bandages."
" Anyone else now that those three have spoken over and around each other?"
" Olympus has a bookstore I wanna look at. Is that okay?"
" Sure Tara. So it's decided. We're stopping on Olympus. We only got two hours though when we do, so get what ya need and move on. Understood?"
" Understood." Everyone answered.

* A Week Later*
" We got paid and we're on break. This is great. Simon?"
" Yeah?" Simon turned at his name. He was going with River to a trinket store so he could get a present for Kaylee.
" Listen, can I borrow some medical supplies? Last I checked, you had an excess supply of valium. Can I take a bottle?"
" What for Tara?"
" Trading. The bookstore I'm going to is expensive. I can get two books for a small vial of valium."
" Sure." Simon agreed slowly. When Tara turned and ran off, he shook his head and followed River out of the ships protective hull, not giving Tara a second thought.
~~~~~
" Two books."
" Here ya go." She slipped the guy the valium in a pouch made from an old T- shirt. The owner checked the contents discreetly and smiled.
" Thank you and come again." Tara shoved the two volumes in a bag and left the shop in a hurry.
~~~~~
" Okay, everyone present and accounted for?"
" Tara's late."
" What-" Mal didn't get to finish his sentence because Tara came running up the ramp.
" I know, I'm late. But only by two minutes. Sorry." She answered, not bothering to pause on her headlong rush towards her room.
" Okay, Hurricane Tara's back on board so let's get outta here."
