Kaylee needed energy so she found herself in the kitchen. She promised Mal she would have everything ready for take off in a few days and she was already a day behind thanks to Simon. Of course she didn’t mind being interrupted by Simon; she would take whatever she could get. She felt that the two were really starting to connect but than Jubal Early happened. Simon distanced himself from Kaylee and the crew. He was spending all his time with River. Kaylee was going to stay with Serenity when Simon asked her if she could watch River while the rest of the crew did their job. She gladly accepted to help. Kaylee missed Simon and she tried her best to hide it from River. All Kaylee needed was for River to read her mind or whatever she could do and tell Simon. The day the two hung out, Kaylee did her best. From what she could tell she did a good job. If Kaylee only knew how well River hid it. River could read deep inside a person’s mind, no matter how far deep in their mind that thought was. River wanted to see Kaylee happy. She loved Kaylee as if they were sisters and hated to see her hurt. River felt guilty. Simon loved Kaylee just as much as Kaylee loved Simon. River wanted to see the two together and was going to try her best to get the two together. Kaylee was sitting at the table when Simon walked in. Kaylee was so into her thoughts she didn’t hear Simon. “Go se.” Kaylee exclaimed as she spilled her drink. “I am so sorry Kaylee. Let me help you clean that up.” “Sheh-sheh” Simon and Kaylee just stared at each other for a minute when Wash came in. “Oops, sorry you two didn’t mean to interrupt,” Wash said winking at the two. “You’re not,” Simon said. “Kaylee I’m glad I found you. I could really use your help on the bridge. “I’m coming,” Kaylee said with disappointment in her voice. Wash and Kaylee walked off as Simon watched them leave. Simon really wanted to talk to Kaylee and thank her again. He would just have to do it in the morning.

“Go see”: crap “Sheh-sheh”: Thank You
