Clap
Clap!
“Damn you girls. That’s the last time I buy paper for your recre-”
Mal turned. “Kaylee, what did I say about the paper when I bought it?”
“You said, that-
“River!” shouted Mal, obviously frustrated.
“Yessir. Reporting for duty, sir.” River raised her hand in salute.
“Ever since I-”
“Could ya-”
“Stop this insanity!” Mal shouted. He shouted so loud that he attracted the whole crew.
“Something wrong, sir?” Wash asked as he walked into the living area from the bridge.
“It’s the stupid-”
“Who did that?” Mal asked curiously. He looked accusingly at Kaylee, since she was the one who insisted on buying the paper.
“It was the space monkeys, sir. It was the terrifying space monkeys that did all the clapping, sir.” Kaylee saluted.
“No, it was you!” Mal shouted accusingly.
“Who me?”
“Yes you.”
“Couldn’t be”
“Then who clapped the clapper that annoyed me?”
“Jayne, sir.”
“Oh you don’t get the point, you’re supposed to-”
“Jayne!”
“Wasn’t me, Mal. As I always say, if it sounds like a gun but isn’t-”
“Okay, is anyone gonna tell me who in God’s name is doing all this clapping?”
Silence.
Then River piped up. “Well, do you know the catalyser?”
“The catalyser?”
“The catalyser.”
“Well, do you know catalyser in the engine room?”
“Yes.”
“Well it’s not related to the catalyser,” shaking her head thoughtfully.
“River, stop it! Just tell me who is doing all the cla-”
The crew was at breaking point. Then all of a sudden, Wash burst out laughing. He took out a clapper from behind his back.
“Sorry, sir. Couldn’t help myself.”
“Where’d you learn to make these anyway?”
“Umm… It’s quite an interesting story really, it was-”
“Wash, was that you?”
“No, sir.”
“Then what was that?”
“What, sir?”
“That clap.”
“What clap?”
“That clap. Oh, stop it Wash.”
“Stop what, sir?”
“That is it! I have had enough!” Mal stormed out of the living area. Everyone at that moment saluted and burst out laughing, waiting for Mal’s discovery of Kaylee’s invention.
“KAYLEE!!!! What in the whole population of space monkeys and gods is this doing?”
Mal had stormed off to the bridge and had found the invention next to the com. He stormed back to the crew and with the device in his hand.
“Okay, whose idea was it? WHOSE?!” You could probably hear him from the planet they just left. (Keep in mind this planet is probably about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilometres away by now).
“It was River’s, but all of us had a take in this.” Book said calmly.
“Oh, really? Well then. Would you mind explaining all of this then, sir?” He turned to Book, while the others ran around doing the second part of the Clap! plan.
“It was simple. River came up with the plan. Kaylee got the paper. Wash put the invention into place and Kaylee and I made it. Simple.”
“But that’s only five people. I believe there are eight people involved in this plan.”
“There are. They’re part in this hasn’t come into phase yet.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“You’ll see. I guarantee. You’ll see.
