Hey people, this my first attempt at any sort of fanfic. I hope you like it, any sort of comment is okay.

Oh, and if this story is similar to anyone else's: not my fault, it's good idea.

*************************************************

Julien King looked up at the Firefly and was not impressed with what he saw.

"Well, what do you think?" Mal asked.

Julien stared with a shocked look on his face at the pile of metal that his old friend called a "boat." "Honestly, Mal, it's a pile of go-she. I don't even know how it could stay in the air. They stopped making these last century. I wouldn't rather spend a night in a Gefängnis Max than fly on on these."

Mal looked shocked. "Don't let Kaylee ever hear you say that," Mal advised.

"And who's Kaylee?" asked Leo King as she walked up to Mal and Julien carrying her bags.

"Our very genius mechainic," Mal stated. "How long you two been married?"

"Just over a year," Julien answered putting his arm around his wife's shoulder. "I heard you got married as well."

Mal sighed, "Don't remind me." The truth was he had forgotten about Yo-Saff-Brig. He'd had too much on his plate to worry about how his "wife" was getting on.

"What does that mean?" Leo asked as they walked up the rap and into the ship.

"It means that he was scammed."

Inara walked down the stairs inside the cargo bay to greet the new crew members.

"That sounds like Mal," Leo stated. "Haven't changed much have you?"

Mal just shook his head and said, "Jule, Leo, tis is Inara."

"The Companion?" asked Julien.

"Wow, one of Mal's friends called me a Comapanion, not a whore," Inara mused.

"Why are you suprised?" Julien asked. "Back in the war, Mal always-"

"Come, I'll show you your room," Mal interrupted.

*************************************************

After dumping their stuff in a room, Julien and Leo went up to the dining room to meet the rest of the crew.

"Everyone, this Julien and Leo King," Mal said addressing the crew. "Leo, Jule, this is Kaylee, our mechainc-" he started to point around the circle "- Simon, the doctor; River, Simon's sister and the pilot; I'm sure you remember Zoe."

"How could I forget?" Julien stated. "Still hanging around this idiot, Zo?"

"I'm not the one that had to come back," Zoe retorted.

"Touche."

"This is Jayne, our resident Robin Hood or mercenery or diplomat; and of couse you met Inara before."

"Nice to meet you all," Julien said.

"Okay, I think I've got everyone figured out," Leo began. ("Oh, here we go," Julien said.) "So you two are in love-" she pointed at Kaylee and Simon "-which is something those aren't thrilled about-" pointing at Jayne and River "- but they are warming to the idea." She turned to Zoe, "You recently lost someone, and you and Mal-" pointing to Inara "-have had sexual tension from when you first met but have denied it because of the other's proffession."

"How the hell could she know all that that quickly?" Jayne asked after an akward silence.

"Simple," River answered. "She's a psychic, like me."
