Author's Note: OK, I'm finally starting to put my chapters together as one whole fic. Yaaaay!
Prelude: Blood
The first morning River woke up with blood in her bed she smiled.
She didn't know why but she did.
Her thighs were sticky with it and it had soaked through her white night gown leaving a small stain on her mattress.
Small red stain on the clean white fabric.
She slowly slipped from her bed and crept out of the room silently, their was no need to wake Simon, the good news would reach him when the lights came on.
He would glow yellow and they would eat yummy colours!
She couldn't remember what was wrong but she knew that she knew, she had to get Kaylee.
She slipped into the mechanics quarters, quiet as a mouse, sneaking was a force of habit.
She prodded Kaylee's sleeping form.
Her eye's fluttered and when they opened River was kneeling down right in front of them. Kaylee jumped.
"The blue hands are gone," River Tam whispered excitedly. Kaylee sat up fast.
"Is something wrong River?"
"No the bleeding stopped when they came," She answered quickly, but now it started again."
Kaylee leaned forward and rested a hand on Rivers head, "Are you alright mei mei, do you need Simon?"
River stood up quickly and twirled around, Kaylee noticed the blood stain and its location.
"Big girl now," River babbled, "Time to be mummy, isn't daddy gunna get a shock." She giggled.
Kaylee finally understood.
"OH River," She sighed, relaxing slightly but still full of energy, a broad grin was spreading on her face, "That's so shiny, you got your period."
"Shiny," River repeated.
"And on your birthday as well," Kaylee continued, "We're gonna have a real good party for ya."
Kaylee was ecstatic and so was River, when she bled she was a normal girl.
