It wasn't that Kaylee wanted this Simon to be different. She just didn't think that he'd be SO different, really, from the Simon she knew. Inside he was still that Simon. Just as that Simon was this Simon too. Or at least it made sense in her head that way. Kaylee couldn't help from thinking positively when it came to such things. She also couldn't help the warmth that settled across her chest when she was looking at him and he was actually smiling.
Simon had a pretty smile. When he bothered to smile.
"Probably'd be pretty borin' without me around. That's for sure." Kaylee grinned now. She thought everythin' was pretty boring without her.
But it was pretty boring without Mal too. She wondered where he was. If he'd find her again and make her try to fix Serenity. Not that she ever stopped! But it wasn't working..
