It's been a year since Wash's death, I can still feel Zoe's anger, and now that my brother is off sleeping with Kaylee, I can feel that too. Oh yes you don't have a single idea how much that seriously pisses me off, sitting above them watching them intently everytime because I have nothing to do. Besides flying Serenity, I learned alot from Mal, like the benefits of eavesdropping for example...

Even after a year I think that Jayne still has a major problem with me still being on Serenity. He thinks that I might kill people, besides I have shot him before. At least from what I remember. I did a bunch of stuff, but there was something about this year that even made me want to kill my brother more than anything. I wouldn't do that though...but if he doesn't stay away from Kaylee...just then I feel a presence close by..."Come in Kaylee." I say before she even knocks.

"How did you...never mind I should know that already. I figured I'd bring you a little something for Christmas..." she said

"Oh I get a christmas present? What did you get for Simon...wait...you built him something that wasn't absolutely important."

"River, you almost sound jealous that I am sleeping with your brother..."

"I AM!" I basically yelled..."Put two and two together..." I say letting the tears run down my face.

"You...you..."

"Yes Kaylee, I want to be with you...I may be 17, I may not know the ways of life, but I feel everything everyone else on this damn ship feels...I feel the way you do when you and Simon are..."

My sentence was broke off with a kiss, "Mistletoe...found it somewhere, it's fake but it still works." she said breaking the kiss.

I look at her with a look in my eyes like I didn't see it coming. But I did hear something as Kaylee walked out the door. I heard that Mal was on the other side of the door and the one line that I will always remember...

"Oh the benefits of eavesdropping on Christmas no less."

"MAL get away from the door!" I yelled.

"Just wanted to wish ya a Merry Christmas..." he said with a smirk on his face. "Looks like you already got your present." he said as he walked away.

Then I realized, he was right, I got the best Christmas Present anyone could want. A kiss from a wonderful woman...and a safe haven from the Operative...

THE END
