"I already said yes." Mal tells Inara. "Where's the outstanding issue?"

Inara sighs heavily and glares at Mal. "The councilor is a very private person and I…"

"So he visits you here instead of you going to his place." Mal interrupts. "Fine. Is the ship not clean enough?"

"I want the councilor to feel comfortable." Inara replies. "And when I say comfortable, I mean totally alone."

"What the gorram hell is that?" Mal says, ingoring Inara and walking towards the bay.

Inara follows Mal, curious as to who's playing music.

Mal moves to stand between Zoe and Jayne on the walks and looks down into the bay to see Willow, River, and Kaylee dancing around to some loud, rather annoying music. "What the gorram hell is that noise?"

"Music." Simon answers. "Or at least, according to Willow, it is; she called it 'boy band music' and said it's music where she's from."

Mal looks down into the bay, his forehead wrinkling. "That's bout the dumbest crap I've ever heard." Then he starts down the steps.

"Where you goin'?" Jayne asks.

"Get a closer listen." Mal answers.

Jayne looks at Zoe, shrugs, and follows the captain down the stairs.

"Where we going?" Wash asks as him and Book walk onto the walks. "Oh, dancing."

"Going to get a closer listen." Zoe answers and then starts down the steps.

"This is so much fun." Kaylee yells to Willow over the music. Her hands are above her head as her hips move side to side.

"I can't believe you've never gone dancing." Willow yells back. "River, I thought you did ballet and stuff?"

"I did." River replies, spinning around to face Willow. "But it's not the same; this is for fun, though this song is…."

"Yeah, Dawnie downloaded it." Willow agrees. "I'm not so into the boy bands."

"I like it." Kaylee yells. She opens her eyes and waves to Simon.

"Hi." Simon replies.

'Let's do something, let's make a bet, cause I gotta have you naked by the end of this song.' The song trails off and silence follows.

"What the gorram hell are you three doin'?" Mal asks.

"Dancin'." Kaylee answers. "It's so much fun."

"We should go clubbing sometime." Willow comments. "It's a whole another environment when you've got like 200 bodies crammed into an area this small."

"But wouldn't there be people touchin' you in certain places?" Kaylee asks.

"Yeah." Willow replies. "But it's cool."

Music starts playing again and River squeals happily.

"You've got a real hard-on for the rock music, River." Willow comments.

"What?" Simon replies.

"River." Willow says. "She loves rock music, especially this song."

'You let me violate you,

You let me desecrate you,

You let me penetrate you,

You let me complicate you,

I broke apart my insides,

I've got no soul to sell,

"What the hell?" Mal mutters. "This is supposed to be music?"

Jayne watches River as she gyrates across the floor, her eyes closed and a happy look on her face. He shifts his weight, his body hardening as he pictures her movin' like that somewhere else, mainly under him as he pounds into her.

'The only thing that works for me,

Help me get away from myself.

I wanna fuck you like an animal.

I wanna feel you from the inside.

I wanna fuck you like an animal.

My whole existence is flawed,

You get me closer to God.'

"Turn that off." Mal yells at Willow.

Willow stops her light dancing and reaches over to turn off her personal music player, glamoured so that it looks like the one Kaylee has.

"What happened to the music?" River pants, turning to look at Willow.

"Music?" Mal bellows. "Do you even know what that song was sayin'?"

"Yes." River replies. "It's about one person's need to fuck another like an animal in order to feel alive."

"MEI-MEI!" Simon yells.

"What?" River says. "He asked."

Mal turns to look at Willow. "You let her listen to this go-se?"

"Let?" Willow repeats. "She's an adult and it's her decision. Besides, she really likes the rock music."

"Whatever." Mal mutters. "We all gotta clear out; Nara's got a client comin'."

"Client, as in sex kinda client?" Willow asks.

"Is there another kind?" Mal replies.

Willow doesn't say anything; instead she looks lost in thought, a slight frown on her face.

River cocks her head and studies Willow for a few seconds. "You miss sex." She announces, a huge grin on her face.

"Yeah." Willow agrees. When she realizes what she just agreed to, she looks at River with wide eyes. "RIVER!"

"You do." River says. "You can not fault me for telling the truth."

"No, I guess I can't." Willow agrees quietly. "Though you could have used a little more tact."

"I'd rather just say the truth." River replies.

Willow goes quiet again although she does hum lightly under her breath.

"Whatcha hummin'?" Kaylee asks. "It sounds pretty."

"Oh, it's just….." Willow is interrupted when River starts singing, very lightly.

"I saw a world enchanted,

Spirits and charms in the air.

I always took for granted,

I was the only one there.

But your power shone,

Brighter than any I've known.

I'm under your spell

Nothing I can do

You just took my soul with you.

You worked your charm so well,

Finally I knew

Everything I dreamed was true,

You make me believe.'

River stops singing and looks at Willow with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry." River whispers. "You were broadcasting and I remember it from…"

"It's okay." Willow interrupts, tears running down her face. "Finish it."

"But it makes you sad." River protests.

"Yeah but it's a good sad." Willow agrees. "Please?"

River closes her eyes and starts singing again.

'The moon to the tide,

I can feel you inside.

I'm under your spell.

Surging with the sea,

Pulled to you so helplessly.

I break with every swell,

Lost in ecstasy,

Spread beneath my willow tree.

You make me complete.'

"That was beautiful." Kaylee gushes. "Do you got it on your recorder?"

"No." Willow answers quietly. "It's something Tara made up and sung to me a few months before she died."

"Oh." Kaylee mutters.

"Thank you." Willow whispers to River and then runs out of the bay.

River drops to the bay floor and cuddles her head in her hands, rocking back and forth. For the first time since Willow has been here, the witch's emotions are unguarded.

"Mei-mei." Simon says quietly.

River doesn't respond, just continues to rock back and forth.

Jayne scoops River up and turns to look at Simon. "You comin'?"

River wraps her arms around Jayne's neck and buries her face in his chest. And like Willow taught her, she lets it wash over her. After a few moments, she pulls her head back and looks up at Jayne. "You can put me down now." River tells him. "It's gone."

"You sure?" Jayne asks, trying not to let his concern show. It's been bout a week since that night in the mess and he's been watchin' her like a hawk since, tryin' to figure out if what Willow said is true. So far, he ain't sure but gorram if ain't hard as hell to keep from touchin' her again.

"Yes." River replies. "Sometimes you just have to let it flow; what will be will be."

Jayne sets River on her feet, holding her arm until she's steady.

"River, maybe we should go to the infirmary." Simon suggests.

"I'm fine, Simon." River assures him. "Wasn't me."

"Thought Willow didn't affect you." Mal comments.

"She normally doesn't but she let her guard down." River replies. "She's letting go."

"Go of what?" Wash asks, concerned about his friend.

"Of Tara." River answers. "It's time to let her rest in peace and Willow is realizing that; Tara would want her to move on."

"You know who Tara is?" Inara questions.

"Yes." River replies. "Earth-mother and very kind. Quiet and unsure and so bright it was almost blinding. But she didn't know; couldn't understand that not everything was black and white and sometimes you have to do something bad in order to do good."

"Tara was naïve that way." Willow says quietly. "She completely believed that there was never a valid reason to hurt somebody, or kill them; she always believed there had to be another way."

"But you knew there wasn't always." River replies. "That sometimes things have to be sacrificed for the greater good."

"Nara, shouldn't you be gettin' to bay?" Mal questions, his mind half on what Willow and River just sais and half on Inara. "Your fancy, privacy wantin' client's gonna be here soon."

"Yes." Inara agrees, bothered that she lost track of the time.

Mal starts to follow Inara, holding up his hand when she objects. "There's nobody sets foot on my boat that I don't meet em." Mal tells her. "Don't worry, I won't start any swordfights, I'm over that phase."

-

"Didn't Inara express a wish for privacy?" Book questions the gathered crew who are hiding off the bay and sneaking looks for Inara's client.

"Oh, we gotta see who's she got." Kaylee whispers. "Bet he's handsome."

"This is really improper." Simon says, his eyes focused on the companion and the captain.

"Stop being a boob." River smacks his arm.

"Stop hitting me." Simon orders.

River rolls her eyes and steps closer to Jayne, her ass rubbing against his leg.

Willow watches River and nudges Kaylee who sneaks a glimpse back and then moves over to keep Simon and Book from seeing.

Jayne's hand drops down to rub against River's side as he takes the occasional look on into the bay. When he moves his hand to rub her lower stomach, she grinds her ass back against him.

"Oh, my." Book gasps.

"She takes female clients?" Simon questions Kaylee.

"Yeah, she told me she did but I didn't…" Kaylee whispers. "They look so glamorous together."

"Now I really miss sex." Willow mutters and then blushes bright red. "Did I just say that out loud?"

"That you did." Kaylee grins at her.

River rubs back against Jayne once more before fluttering away, giving him a quick look over her shoulder.

"Mei-mei, where are you….never mind, just don't break anything." Simon says.

Jayne waits until she's gone so's it don't look like he's following her before stepping back.

"Jayne, where you goin'?" Mal questions.

"Head." Jayne grunts.

"Huh." Mal mutters, figuring he'd make some sort of lewd comment about Nara's client. "Done figured you'd be makin' all sorts of comments at this point. You feelin' okay?"

"Fine." Jayne replies and then he's gone without another word.

"This crew just gets weirder and weirder every gorram day." Mal comments and then looks at Kaylee and Willow. "You two stay outa trouble while me and Zoe are gone."

"Aye-aye sir." Willow mock salutes.

Mal rolls his eyes and walks towards the spare shuttle.

"C'mon, Simon, let's teach Willow how to play cards." Kaylee says, steering him towards the mess and away from the direction River and Jayne ran off. "Book, you wanna play too?"

"Sure." Book replies.

"I should look for River." Simon replies. "But I doubt even she can find much trouble on a parked boat."

-

Jayne reaches his arm out of the public bathroom and snags River's hand as she passes to pull her inside. "That weren't nice." Jayne growls down. "Teasin' a man like that."

"It's not considered teasing if you plan on following through." River replies sweetly.

Jayne picks her up and sets her down on the sink, moving between her spread thighs. "You're the ruttin' mind reader." Jayne drawls, his hand running down her neck. "You know what I was thinkin' when you was dancin'?"

River wraps her legs around his waist and pulls him closer. "I felt it." She whispers. "Me dancing beneath you as you pound inside of me."

"Gorram yes." Jayne growls, his hand pushing one strap down.

"Jayne." River moans.

"Yeah?" He pushes the other strap down until she's naked on top and then reaches up to cup one perfect breast.

"Oh…make me fly again." River moans, back arching to get fuller contact.

Jayne drops his mouth and sucks one tight nipple between his lips while his hand burrows under her dress. "Plan to." He moves his hand up her thigh to find her naked and wet. "Moony, where's your panties?"

"In my room." River spreads her legs further and arches up towards him. "I took them off before coming here."

"Look at you, all wet and warm." Jayne says, his voice husky with lust. "Wonder why that is?"

"For you." River pushes against his hand, wanting the feeling back; wanting to fly once again. "Inside, Jayne."

"You're so gorram tight." Jayne growls, pushing a large finger inside her. He pumps it slowly and shallowly, trying to get her wetter; it don't take but a few thrust till she's soaking his hand. He adds a second finger, his cock tightening to the point of pain at the feel of her body stretching around his fingers.

"Oh….big…mmmm…harder." River's head leans back to rest against the mirror behind her, her eyes closed in ecstasy.

"You're gonna cut me in half, moony." Jayne growls, pumping his fingers faster. When he feels her walls start to flutter, he stops and pulls his fingers out.

River's eyes slam open on a whimper. "Jayne." She whines.

"Just a second, moony." Jayne grasps the bottom of her dress and pulls it over her head. He takes one look at her naked body, her legs spread wide, breasts heaving, skin flushed pink, and whistles. "If you ain't all manners of shiny."

"Jayne, you promised to make me fly." River moans.

"Oh, I'm gonna, guarantee that." Jayne leers. "Just not how you think." He steps back between her thighs, reaching over to grab a washcloth before looking back at her. "Now, throw them legs over my shoulders, dong ma?"

River's forehead furrows, confused by what he has planned, but does as he orders.

Jayne moves his hands under her ass and lifts her until she's sitting on his shoulder, albeit backwards. He blows lightly on her wet cunt, chuckling when she squeals. "Here."

River takes the washcloth he's handing her and pushes his head back until she can look into his eyes.

"You're gonna havta bite on that else everyone's gonna hear ya fly." Jayne explains.

Jayne waits until she puts the washcloth against her mouth before moving over to press her back against the door. His hands still gripping her ass to keep her steady, he runs his tongue between her folds, groaning at the taste of her on his tongue; sweeter than one would think, she's bout the best tasting bit of flesh to ever touch his tongue.

River's eyes widen and her legs tighten around Jayne's neck at the sensation of his tongue on her most private area. She's read about it before, knows all the mechanics of oral sex, but all the books in the world could never prepare her for what it actually feels like. It doesn't take more than a few flicks of Jayne's tongue for her to fly.

Jayne keeps River steady as she comes, his hands gently massaging her ass to sooth her. He backs off until she stops bucking and then dives right back in, his teeth nipping at her sensitive clit.

River's head thrashes back and forth, her body floating on one long wave of pleasure. And right when she thinks it's over, Jayne's teeth nip and bite at her, starting the wave back up. Then she's flying again, her mouth biting down on the cloth to muffle her scream.

This time when she's come down, Jayne steps backwards, her lax legs falling off his shoulders, and catches her.

"I flew and flew and flew." River says happily, smiling up at him. "You are a very good pilot."

Jayne chuckles and then kisses her, his tongue pushing past her lips to find hers.

"Mmmm." River hums, sliding her tongue against his. She breaks the kiss after a few minutes and then looks up at him seriously. "Down."

Jayne sets River on her feet, his head tilting to the side to check out her ass. He laughs when she shimmies it at him and then she's plopping down on the toilet, crocking a finger at him. He swallows heavily at the look on her face and walks towards her.

River pulls Jayne's shirt out of his pants and then moves it up his chest. She places one hand on the center of his chest to hold his shirt still and then runs the nails of her other hand down his abs. "They like to dance for me."

Jayne hisses at the feel of her nails running down his abs and then groans when her tongue runs down them.

Her mouth still attached to Jayne's stomach, River reaches between them to unbuckle and unsnap his pants. And before he can say anything, she pushes his pants and boxers down until his cock springs free. "Hello there." River coos, pulling her head back to address his hard staff.

Jayne chuckles between clenched teeth. "He don't talk, moony."

"He doesn't?" River replies. "He seems to be saying many things." She wraps her hand around his cock, her eyebrows rising when her fingers don't meet. "You are very big."

Jayne laughs again, his hands fisted at his side. "You're gonna kill me, you know that?"

River rubs the head of his cock, looking up at him when he groans. "Did I hurt him?"

"No." Jayne grunts. It's torture, wonderful, gut wrenching torture. He's seen the way River inspects things from every angle and he don't think he's gonna survive that.

"Hmm." River hums. She pushes his pants down a little further until his balls are visible. She massages them curiously, smiling when he groans again. "Jayne?"

"Huh?" Mal mutters.

"I'm going to make you fly." River says, her hand moving back up to wrap around his cock.

Jayne's eyes close as she pumps his cock. He's been with more whores than he'd ever be able to count and their professional caresses never felt as good as her innocent ones do.

"Mei-mei, are you in there?" Simon's voice says from outside the door as he knocks repeatedly.

"Fuck." Jayne mutters. "Doc, I ain't your sister."

"Oh." Simon replies. "Jayne?"

"Yeah?" Jayne replies, his voice cracking do to River's continued caresses.

"Did you pass River on your way in there?" Simon questions.

Jayne's mouth opens to answer when he's cock is enveloped into River's warm mouth. He barely holds back a groan and looks down to see River's head bobbing.

"Jayne?" Simon says. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah." Jayne grunts. "Didn't pass her. Be out in a few."

Jayne hands fists in River's hair and in the back of his mind, he registers Simon's footsteps as the doctor walks away. Her mouth is curious, innocent, and bout the best damn thing he's ever felt round his cock. "Moony, I'm bout to blow."

River massages Jayne's balls and sucks his cock further into her mouth.

Jayne bites his lip as he empties himself into her mouth. He manages to not thrust but just barely.

River swallows Jayne's cum, surprised by the taste. It's musky and creamy and in her opinion, tastes better than one would think.

"You didn't havta do that." Jayne says, bending down to pick her up.

"I know." River replies. "But I wanted to."

Jayne drops a brief kiss on her mouth and then puts her back on her feet. He reaches down to grab her dress and shakes it out before pulling it over her head. Then he tucks himself back into his pants and kisses her one last time. "I'm gonna go first then you wait a couple seconds before comin' out, okay?"

"Yes." River replies. "Jayne?"

"Yeah?" Jayne says.

River reaches up to plant a deep and wet kiss on his mouth. She pulls away after a few moments and smiles up at him. "Don't wait for another week before we can fly again."

"Won't." Jayne smirks down at her. He drops a kiss on her forehead and then opens the door a crack.

"Hi." Willow and Kaylee say happily.

"Gorram radar." Jayne mutters. He takes River's hand and pushes the door completely open. "Where's the doc?"

"Looking for River." Kaylee answers with a grin. "Him and the Shepard are looking in the bay."

"Come on, let's go sit in the mess and act like we've been there the entire time." Willow says. "It'll freak him out."

"Messin' with the doc?" Jayne says with a laugh. "Hell, I'm game." He keeps his hand on River's back until they get into the bay and then sits down beside her, his hand caressing her thigh under the table.

"River, I've been looking everywhere for you." Simon says as he steps into the mess. "When did you get here? You weren't here before, were you?"

A/N: I loved Tara, she was one of my favorite Buffy characters but I always thought her and Willow would never make it, long before they actually broke up. My big thing was the last episode of season 5 (where Buffy dies) when Willow was doing that spell to bring Tara back. When Willow said she might have found a way to fix Tara and weaken Glory or she might blow all their heads off, that's when I got the feeling that Tara and Willow would never make it in the long run. Going by the episode where Dawn wanted to use magic to bring Joyce back, I've always seen Tara as having a huge respect for magic and it's consequences. If she wasn't insane, I think she would have objected to Willow using a spell that she didn't know the consequences of. Willow was never taught the right respect and fear she should have for magic and her use of it shows that. I just always thought eventually, that would ruin their relationship, which it did. Even when they got back together (before Tara died at the end of the episode) I didn't think it would last. Willow is a scooby and eventually, she would do what she had to do to save the world, regardless of the consequences, something that Tara would probably not approve of. I just didn't want anybody to think I was dissing Tara because I wasn't. Okay, that's my rant for the day, goodbye.
