Fixin' for a Date (Mal and Kyle)
Kaylee was excited. There was no getting around the fact that she had been runnin around the corridors, jumping up and down the steps, and making all sorts of noise while inside her bunk. Mal had to have noticed, perhaps Wash had too, but Kaylee didn't mind. She was so happy to just be goin' out on a real date. Sure, this had been a terrible place at first. She almost died, or was dead, or whatever. Simon was not her Simon so they weren't together. And Serenity was stuck on the ground. But now, now she was renewed. She'd fixed an engine, and got asked out by a really really really pretty guy. She had to stop thinking about Simon, Mal had told her the truth and she'd been heartbroken too long. Now she was gleefully fixing her hair and her face and making sure not one speck of dirt hit the nice shirt and pants she was wearing.

She could hardly contain herself.

She'd have opted for a dress but it was mighty cold outside and while Kaylee didn't mind the thought of having to cling to Kyle's side for warmth, she was sure if Mal saw that she looked a bit cold before leaving she wouldn't be going anywhere. She pulled on one of her brown coats and looked herself over again.

She'd told Mal. The look on his face was.. Well he wasn't making her stay here, yet at least. And he was willin' to at least meet Kyle. Kaylee knocked on his bunk door finally. "Come on Mal! I don't want to be makin' him wait!" She cheerfully called down before bounding towards the cargo bay.

First things first. Mal and Kyle had to meet. Then she'd quickly show him Serenity and then.. whatever it was he had planned. Kaylee would have told Mal not to wait up, but then Mal would probably..

Kaylee just beamed up at the walk way when she heard him coming down it. "So how do I look?" Kaylee twirled around once. It wasn't too girly, but it wasn't covered in grease either. She'd obviously took the time to make her hair look nice, and do her make up (something Inara normally did for her). "I almost asked Inara if I could borow one of her fancy dresses, but they'd be a little.. Cold in this weather." She smiled. It was almost 7. He'd be knocking any minute. Kaylee was still bouncing.

She might just explode.

Everyone was giving her compliments lately. Kaylee felt like Inara suddenly. Oh Mal would have hated it if Kaylee mentioned Inara and the compliments she caught. Inara always got a lot of attention, Kaylee was normally looked over. not today! Everyone seemed to be likin' her today, and she had a date to get to soon enough. But she beamed.

"You're looking sharp yourself." She grinned at him. Course now they had to worry about Mal. Kaylee turned her eyes on Mal, and while the smile didn't disappear it did grow smaller. She eyed him, then turned her eyes to where Kyle was, then back to Mal.

Go on. Greet him. Be nice. Or I'll wrench your door locked for a few days and have endless parties.

Yes. She could do that.

She'd just have to keep Wash on her side, and Zoe away!

"She is something, isn't she? I fixed the door, Mal. Didn't even make much of a peep this time."

"Malcolm Reynolds." Mal didn't even look aside to Kaylee for the coaching to introduce himself. No, he hadn't moved his somewhat suspicious gaze from the young man who was currently walking up into the belly of his ship. "Captain of this here ship, Serenity, and her crew."

The fellow approaching him looked a little too put together, too much like them Core-types. Kaylee was setting herself up for a world of trouble if she was getting bothered over another one like that pretentious doctor. Mal's attention returned briefly to the door controls. With a slight shudder, the ramp Kyle had walked up rose and eventually locked close with it's companion piece.

"Not much of a peep at all, Kaylee." Mal sounded rather agreeable to the door being fixed. But there was still one more problem at large. "Take the noise you took out of it and put into making that engine roar so we can see about getting off his rock." It was a not so subtle reminder to either of them that whatever this was.. it was temporary. As soon as Serenity was up and running, Mal was taking his crew back into the skies.

"Nice to meet you, Captain." The ship really was something to behold. He'd been on the Justice League's space craft and a few others but none of them were anything like Serenity. For the most part Kyle flew through the black solo with only his ring protecting him from the outer elements. "Sorry about borrowing your mechanic for the night but I definitely owed her dinner after she fixed my car." He really didn't want to come off as the stuck up type to Mal. Kyle was pretty far from that but first impressions were a big deal.

With the ramp now closed behind him Kyle was able to get his first real look at the inside of Serenity. It was what you expect but more at the same time. He sure there were hundreds of things about the ship he'd never know. Things that only someone like Mal would.

He turned his head to look down at Kaylee and his lips split into a wide grin. "This is a lot more interesting than just going to pick someone up from their apartment or house."

Kaylee grinned and suddenly got up on her toes to kiss Mal's cheek all affectionate like. "Aw, don't be a spoilsport. Can't fix the engine without parts and I'm still havin' trouble locatin' them. Maybe You and Wash'll help me tomorrow to look for them?" Kaylee turned to Kyle with a grin. Nothing could ruin her mood.

Not anything in the whole 'verse.

"Serenity is better than anything in the whole 'verse, far as I'm concerned. Let me show you 'round real quick like, before we go." Kaylee turned around and made her way to the stairs. "Unless of course Captain has anything else he wanted to say?"

A thin smile crossed Mal's lips as Kaylee stretched up to kiss his cheek, offering a nod in quiet agreement to her request for help. To get Serenity in the Sky there wasn't anything he wouldn't do. Being grounded this long was starting to have its own stir-crazy like effect on the browncoat.

"Me?" Okay, so the surprise was feigned. Sure there were things he wanted to say because he wasn't keen on the idea of anything taking his mechanic's focus away from fixing his ship. But Mal didn't like to get involved in the personal lives of his crew. At least that's what he's always say aloud. It was no secret that he'd pull out all the stops to make it clear to anyone who'd dare to harm those he counted within his family that such actions were not tolerated. "Just keep the bridge off your tour. No one that ain't crew allowed up there. With or without escort."
