Just then, Mal took the opportunity to find Kaylee. He stood at the head of the table, looking at Kaylee. He had a smidge of blood on the corner of his lips.

"Kaylee, we got the part. Let's fly." Mal said, impatiently. It was obvious he wasn't going to wait for her to finish her pie. Simon and River kept looking between the two. Simon didn't want Kaylee to leave.

"Cap'n, what happened? Didja run into trouble?" She asked. She stood up and took a good, longing look at Simon. He returned it in full.

"This ain't the time for explanations. Let's go." Mal said as he turned around to start walking away.

"But Mal- I'm not done with my-" Kaylee began to say, but Mal turned around and cut her off.

"Kaywinnit Lee Frye, get on Serenity and fix her, so we can get off this planet." Mal shouted before he turned and left. Kaylee turned to Simon with an apologetic look on her face. Simon tried to smile at her, but he was really sad that she had to go.

"It was really nice meeting you, Simon. And you too, River. Remember, if you gotta get anywhere in the 'verse, Serenity's your best bet." She said as she leaned across the booth seat and kissed Simon on the cheek. Close to his mouth, he made note of. When she pulled away, the area seemed cold. She took off a black and pink beaded bracelet from her wrist and put it on his.

Then she took off. Simon watched her as she exited the café. Mal was waiting for her outside. She took one last good look at Simon through the window before going back to catching up with Mal. He was walking off toward the docks.

Simon looked at the bracelet on his wrist and then up at River. She looked deep in thought.

"She has a funny name." River said. Simon smiled and thought of her own smile over and over again. Then he thought of her 'funny' name. Kaywinnit.
