Lost Puppy

By RingPrincess

She follows him around like a little lost puppy and he pretends not to notice. He does of course, he notices everything and if he didn't well, it could mean his life one day. Just cause he weren't book smart didn't mean he was stupid. He could say it was the change or air pressure when she entered a room or he could feel her eyes burning through the hulls of ships to watch him. He knows that where he goes she'll follow. It's only a matter of time and to get away from the bigger puppy, her brother.

Above the cargo bay, she's muttering something watching them play, eyes on the ball or on him. She trails them to the bridge, staying out of the way fiddling with her hair, muttering something about this other ship. And he's got a bad, bad feeling about this. Something in his guts tells him that they should leave this one alone, but the captain the captain and if he says go, they go. Sides, who's gonna listen to him, Jayne, anyways, and so it's over to the other ship and gorram if the girl don't follow. Of course, for some odd reason he helps her a bit, plays a neat trick on the good Doc.

She's a lost puppy, following him wherever he goes and he's not so sure how he feels about the notion. But gorram, every man at some point wants a puppy for his very own.
