I have plans to put them all together. Just haven't had the time. It's a time consuming task to save all the text down and edit it to make sense... I think I did Rukus and Black Diamond. I'll have to check my hard drive when I at home to make sure...

Mom!

Well, Mal-licious has commanded, and I must obey.

I plan to create a thread, each post of which is a summary of one of our old threads. This is number 28, BTW.

For now, we are resting after having battled our dark selves. We live in the space-ship SereniTree, described earlier in this thread.

Uh, really, if you just read this one thread, you would be caught up enough.

EMMA

*Emma, entirely bored with trying to attack someone for losing her beautiful ship, wanders over to the South-Wing. She carefully tries to avoid people before sneaking onto the Admiral Nelson.*

I so don't get this land business. I don't know, *sigh* my brain hurts from duplicate everybodys and now they are resting on PifflePonies of all things. I wouldn't mind but PifflePonies are a great delicacy in the Degas system, I could sell them for a fortune. *grumble, grumble*

Right, now, I am a genius, lets see if I can take this shuttle for a spin and earn myself some money.

*Emma uses her technical wizardry not highlighted by her lack of suitable vocabulary and starts the engines.*

Easiest to take off at full-speed that way I can get off quickly without being followed. Excellent. I miss my ship!

*Sets a course for the Degas system.* It should only take me three days and they like me there. I sold them some excellently priced woowahs a few months back.

Emma: Oh, hi Rat. I hope you bought supplies with you I only brought enough champagne and strawberries for me. I don't suppose you know what happened to my ship? I can't seem to find any trace of it anywhere. Oh, and that large spam gun you appear to be carrying will be useless; the Degassians use spam in their piffle-pony pie.

*Serenity removed the saddle and reins from the Pifflepony*

I think I'd prefer to ride bareback, thanks.

*She feeds the pifflepony a spare carrot she has in her pocket (Piffleponies may eat blue fishies, but they're still suckers for regular horse treats) and then does the whole Horse Whisperer thing. The pifflepony nuzzles against her and doesn't flinch when she climbs on it's back. They go riding off into the sunset. (The day is waning, BTW.)

Whoohoo! Piffleponies are FUN!

JAZAF

While Merriment is had by the crew Jazaf drifts to his room. He tries to calm down and make sense of what happened out on the Dandelion field.

'What's going on?'
'Nothing you aren't already aware of.'
'That sounded oddly familiar.'
'Don't be an ass. You may have absorbed my being back into your body but I refuse to go quietly!'

Jazaf feels a sharp pain in his right temple.
'Gorram it!'

Jazaf heads out of his room to the east wing and up to the second floor. He then moves towards the water park and looks around.

His eyes rest upon the floating ball of breathable liquid.

With the help of some of the other Tree-ers, Ath gathers a large stock of wood. Ath stares into the pile for a moment, concentrating, until the wood bursts into flames.*

Hey Lissa, watch the fire for me, okay?

*Ath runs into the ship, heading for the kitchen. In a minute or two, he returns with marshmallows, chocolate bars and graham crackers.*

So, who wants s'mores?

Ow. Merde, that hurt. Aaah. Deep breath. There we go. Okay, as soon as I'm better, everyone in the crew is getting CPR lessons and instructions on why it should be administered promptly.

But I can't let this happen again. I kept all my failures, all my ambition, all my selfishness locked away and it just grew within me. I can't do that again. I know I'm a good man but that doesn't mean I have to be perfect. That doesn't mean I should go after what I want.

Probably the most important thing you ever taught me, dear sister.

*Ath lights two marshmallows on fire, blows them out, and makes s'mores for himself and Lissa. Just as Ath finishes his s'more, a firefly lights up in front of him. He grabs it, being careful not to hurt it. Ath watches as the insect crawls across his hand for a few seconds before taking off once more.*

*Ath smiles, sighs contently and snuggles closer to Lissa.*

JAZAF

Jazaf made his way into the floating orb of water. After a few desperate gasps he became accustomed to the water. Jazaf closed his eyes and tuned out the world he knew and focused on the world he made, in his head.

Jazaf opened his eyes to view a vast stone garden. The serenity of his inner world calmed him and almost relieved him of his worries. However something was amiss, Jazaf looked into the distance and saw something. A creature was bounding towards Jazaf with great haste. The terrain behind it became inhospitable and jagged.

'Glad you could make it' the creature snarled. Jazaf looked at the thing, not quite beast, but not quite man this abomination stood before Jazaf with an air of arrogance.

'Did you truly think it would be as easy as that to be rid of me? I refuse to be let out in controlled bursts. You were groomed for war, influenced to spread death, you are a Berserker! A being that thrives in battle! Why avoid it so?'

'I did not come here to justify my actions,' Jazaf shot back, 'I came here to finish what we started.' Jazaf closed his hands and as he did blades of light appeared.

The creature reacted in kind.
'You have no advantage here.' the creature laughed. 'This is my world as well as yours!'

The two combatant rush forward, each seeking to end the other.

Meanwhile in the Sereni-TREE

Jazaf's body floats motionless in the floating orb of water. His eyes are open but his senses are dead to the physical world. His mind having traveled to a distant plane to deal with his darker intentions.

* Carrying a guitar, TheRealMe climbs up on the stage built by Sparky and the Ebo Golem. He is joined by River-clone, also with a guitar, Bride5 on keyboard, and Bride3 on the drums. *

Hello. I have an idea for a contest. This is the Contest of Oddly Appropriate Songs. Here are the rules: entries must be existing songs that have been included on some released CD or had radio play, and they must in some way relate to the Sereni-Tree, its crew or adventures, or to the Firefly TV show or the Serenity movie. I’ll start things off with my own example.

This is a song that tells the tale of one of our own. It includes her plans for a marriage at an early age, the disapproval of her military-minded family, and how she escaped to be with us.

* Sparky comes up on the stage. TheRealMe, River-clone, and Bride5 plug cords from their instruments and microphones into him. Panels open in him as Sparky deploys his speakers. *

I dedicate this performance to our own Bride4. This song is by Paul and Linda McCartney, and is called: “Jet”!

Jet! * River-clone rocks on her guitar! *
Jet! * River-clone continues to rock! *
Jet! I can almost remember their funny faces…
That time you told ‘em that you were gonna be marryin’ soon.
And Jet…
I thought the only lonely face was on the moon.
Jet! woo-woo-woo-WOO-woo-woo-WOO-woo-woo!
Jet! woo-woo-woo-WOO-woo-woo-WOO-woo-woo!

Jet! Was your father as bold as the sergeant major?
Well how come he told you that you were hardly old enough yet… ?
And Jet…
I thought the major… was a lady… suffragette!
Jet! woo-woo-woo-WOO-woo-woo-WOO-woo-woo!
Jet! woo-woo-woo-WOO-woo-woo-WOO-woo-woo!

Ah, Materrrrr! Want Jet to always love me!
Ah, Materrrrr! Want Jet to always love me!
Ah, Materrrrr! Much later….

Jet! * Guitars and keyboards rock at this point. *

And Jet! I thought the major… was a lady… suffragette!
Jet! woo-woo-woo-WOO-woo-woo-WOO-woo-woo!
Jet! woo-woo-woo-WOO-woo-woo-WOO-woo-woo!

Ah, Materrrrr! Want Jet to always love me!
Ah, Materrrrr! Want Jet to always love me!
Ah, Materrrrr! Much later….

* Music rocks some more.*

Jet! With the wind in your hair of a thousand places…
Climb on the back and we’ll go for a ride in the sky…

And Jet! I thought that the major was a little lady… suffragette!
Jet! woo-woo-woo-WOO-woo-woo-WOO-woo-woo!
Jet! woo-woo-woo-WOO-woo-woo-WOO-woo-woo!

And Jet!
You know, I thought you, was a little lady… suffragette!
Jet! woo-woo-woo-WOO-woo-woo-WOO-woo-woo!
A little lady.
My little lady, yes!

There's a house at the top of a tree
There's a house at the top of a tree
In the house there's a room
In the room there's a chair
And sitting in the chair is you

There's a nose at the end of a snout
Of a dog with his head out the window
Of a car that's driving away from the tree
And at the top of a tree there's a house
And in the house there's a room and in the room
There's a chair and in the chair is you

There's a plan to eat the house
In the mind of a mouse in the woods
And the mouse in the woods has a smell that's detected
By the nose at the end of a snout of a dog
And the dog has his head out the window of a car
And the car is driving away from the tree
And at the top of a tree there's a house
And in the house there's a room and in the room
There's a chair and in the chair is you

There are no more potato chips left
In the empty bag in your hand
And the crumpling sound of the empty bag
Makes the mice get mad
And when the mice get mad
It leads to a plan to eat the house
And the plan's in the mind of the mouse in the woods
And the mouse in the woods has a smell that's detected
By the nose at the end of a snout of a dog
And the dog has his head out the window of a car
And the car is driving away from the tree
And at the top of a tree there's a house
And in the house there's a room and in the room
There's a chair and in the chair is you

And the reason there are no more chips
In the empty bag in your hand
Is that the crumpling sound of the empty bag
Makes the mice get mad
Which leads to a plan
To eat the house
But just in time
The dog arrives
To give to the mouse
The potato chips
That you took from the bag
And gave to the dog
To deliver to the mouse
So the mouse would not eat you

COZEN

*Sorta hangs back a bit, espying CallMeSerenity riding the Pifflepony across dandelion strewn meadows, wings softly rising and falling in half time beats to the pony's canter rythym.*

Hmmm. Did swear off the kidnapping routine. Still 'n all, that was when evil grew amongst the crew, and that's been all reconciled like. And, let's take a logical approach here, CMS is no kid, and she appears to be wide awake....

*Sets to fetching satiny bondage goodies, various oils.*

*Stuff found, idly tickles Mai's feets, and hopes she understands it's all just play.*

Pauses to watch some more. Cuz, why hurry?

THEGREYJEDI

*walks onto the stage, from his meditations, black t-shirt, dark blue jeans, black boots. Picks up the microphone from the stand, and with no accolade begins to sing. A guitar and drums playing from nowehere.*

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I'd never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
I'd never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you

No I don't wanna fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
No I don't wanna fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you
With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)

What a wicked game you played to make me feel this way
what a wicked thing to do to let me dream of you
what a wicked thing to say you never felt this way
what a wicked thing to do to make me dream of you

And I don't wanna fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
No I don't wanna fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I'd never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No I don't wanna fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
No I don't wanna fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)

No I... (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
(This girl is only gonna break your heart)

Nobody loves no one

THEGREYJEDI

*his last song fades into silence. He holds out his hand, an unmarked person walks up and hands him his electric guitar.*

Mal, Inara, that was for you. This...

*lights flash on over several individuals. On drums, in all white, TheWhiteJedi. On lead guitar, TheDarkJedi, on bass guitar is a man in a deep indigo cloak and robes with a white mask covering his entire face who, according to the program, is named Janus. On the mixing table is a half-elf with long black hair, bright blue eyes and matching shirt, the rest in black, named Turin Swift.*

This is for you, River.

Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling

I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Chorus

Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem...

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Chorus (Repeat until end)

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling (Whispered during chorus)

SIMONWHO

*leans heavily against the stage*

Well Static, what do we do now? Stand 10 feet apart and call her, see which one she runs to first? Rock, paper, scissors? Eeny Meeny Miney Mo?

*picks up a guitar and starts gently strumming*

I agree with Doc Brown, there are two great mysteries in the universe; Why and Women. I think I've got a better idea about the first one.

*starting to pick out a tune, not singing on stage, nor even to anyone nearby, just singing*

Well I heard there was a secret chord
that David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
And She tied you to her kitchen chair
And She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Well Baby I've been here before
I´ve seen this room, and I've walked this floor,
You know, I used to live alone before I knew you
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

Maybe there is a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you can hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

CALLMESERENITY

*claps after Simon's song.*

Yeah! I love that song!!

*takes the guitar from him and climbs up onstage. She strums a few experimental chords,waves at everyone a bit nervously, and then she sings.*

You want to dance with the angels?
Then embroider me with gold, and I will fly with the angels,
And you can dance with me.
Sing with the angels?
Then show me a song, and I will strum with the angels,
And you can sing with me.
But you want to fall fashionably in love with a woman,
In love with a life you’ll adore, in love with a woman you’ll adore.
Under my wings, you’ll start to ask yourself,
Under my wings, you’ll learn to fly.
Under my wings, you’ll come to understand how to hold on -
If you want to.
Or you can dream of the frog legs sitting in the church
In the glass, in the sand where your foot steps.
Or you can dream of the angels in the air-
Don’t you see me?
I float in skies, in your eyes, in your eyes.
You want to dance with the angels?
Then embroider me with gold, and I will fly with the angels,
And you can dance with me.
Under my wings, you’ll start to look for me.
Under my wings, you’ll want to cry sometimes.
Under my wings, you’ll find someone to hold onto - if you want to.
You want to dance with the angels?
Then embroider me with gold, and I will fly with the angels,
And you can dance with me.

Serenity, First Officer of Destiny

NEEDLESEYE

Needleseye steps up. Doesn't matter where the music comes from, it just begins... star jasmine curls up and around the stage platform and vicinity.
and she sings...

Please could you stay awhile to share my grief
For its such a lovely day
To have to always feel this way
And the time that I will suffer less
Is when I never have to wake

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever

Those who have seen the needles eye, now tread
Like a husk, from which all that was, now has fled
And the masks, that the monsters wear
To feed, upon their prey

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever

Doubled up inside
Take awhile to shed my grief
Always doubled up inside
Taunted, cruel.... ...

Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever
Wandering stars, for whom it is reserved
The blackness of darkness forever

Those will be transfixed that listened too closely,
then shake their heads releasing the siren's spell.
Sweet fragrance lingers in the air.

JAKE7

**jake7 steps up to the mike.**

*clears throat (even though her vocal coach yells at her when she does)*

Here's one for Mal and Inara:

*Moderate tempo rock song*

Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na

If you could feel what I feel
If I could make you see
If you could need like I need
I'd be the air that you breathe

You go straight to my head as I lie in my bed
I just can't win
I can't help the state I'm in
It's only love so why is falling in it
The one thing that you can't do
It's only love then why am I hurting from it
It's only love if you're hurting too

Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na

If you could share my wildest thoughts
Meet me in my mind
If you could want the way that I want
You'd want me all the time
You go straight to my head when I lie in my bed
I just can't win
I can't stop the state I'm in

It's only love so why is falling in it
The one thing that you can't do
It's only love then why am I hurting from it
It's only love if you're hurting too

Every dream I dream has got you in
And every minute with you means everything
I wanna take you there where you've never been
In my dreams

You go straight to my head as I lie in my bed
I just can't win
I can't help the state I'm in
It's only love so why is falling in it
The one thing that you can't do
It's only love so why am I hurting from it
It's only love if you're hurting too
Na na na na na na na na na
It's only love if you're hurting too
Na na na na na na na na na
It's only love if you're hurting too

[It's Only Love - Def Leppard, from Euphoria]

PSYCHICRIVER

*Slides down off the top of the SereniTREE, and gently lands on his feet. Wanders over to the stage just as Jake7 finishes her song.*

*Claps*

PsychicRiver

"Two by two, hands of blue."

"We'll take care of each other. I'll knit!"

Summer Glau to me - "You are so photogenic."

BRIDE2

Bride2 walks into the Serenitree's water park and looks up at Jazaf, who's in the middle of the large floating globe of breathable liquid. She crosses her arms and waits for a time. Then she grumbles and sits down crosslegged on the floor. She puts her sheathed pair of katanas next to her, breathes deep, and tries to mediate. This lasts about a minute.

"Stupid freakin' gorram !!"

She stands and cups her hands around her mouth. "Hey, Mystery Man! What're ya doin' up there? Bein' all mysterious or somethin'?"
