A/N: Here are three more, completing the 'original' crew. The three that arrived from Persephone as the series started will follow soon...

She looked good, given all she'd been through.

A little damage maybe, but nothing I couldn't handle - all very do-able.

Truth of it was, I was wanted to fly bigger ships, fancier ships, ships that'd pay more and be a damn sight safer than this well-worn girl.

Stepped out and stood dirtside starin' up, realised I had no way to walk from her.

Left something behind the minute I turned my back on her; Zoe stole almost my entire heart right outta my chest.

The rest just longed for flight, and had been taken by her - my Serenity.
