Bad Firefly fan fic
Ok, so a couple nights ago, I got bored and touted up a quick little short fan fic of Firefly. It's poorly written in a sort of a script style. It takes place between the last episode of the series and the comic series, "Those Left Behind." that's important to note because River hasn't been "Miranda'd" yet, also Wash and Book are still alive.
Enjoy!
Serenity: Random Encounter
Daytime, middle of a festival, we see River bouncing through, taking in the sights and sounds around her. She’s the happiest we’ve ever seen her. A few steps behind, Mal and Jayne (With Vera slung across his back) are keeping an eye on her. Mal is smiling, Jayne is his normal scowling self.
Jayne:
“What I don’t get is why do we have to be babysitting her?”
Mal:
“Well, Wash and Zoe are off doing their own thing…”
Jayne:
“… Finding a place to fornicate that ain’t a steel bunk.”
Mal:
*annoyed* “And Kaylee needed Simon to help her with a few things back at the ship…”
Jayne:
“…Wantin’ to work his pistons, I reckon.”
Mal:
*Even more annoyed* “Book is off at the abby doing his confession thing, and she can’t quite tag along when Inara’s doing her companionship thing, can she?”
Jayne:
“Sure she can. Hell, she could probably charge double and the girl’ll learn a thing or two.”
Mal:
“You do realize that’s a 16 year old girl you’re talking about, right?”
Jayne:
“Whores can be 16. I knew this one girl back on Haven that…”
Mal:
“Whoa! That’s something I do NOT need to hear! Look, We’re all due some down time, River has been as stable as we’ve seen her in a long time, and we’ve got a little coin in our pockets from a good job we just did, so stop complaining, and let’s enjoy the festival, like River is…”
Mal and Jayne look and see that River has disappeared into the crowd. A quick “Aww crap” is mutters between the both of them and they go searching.
Switch to River’s view, We see her weaving in and out of people in the festival, just drinking in the positive vibes and good spirits of the people around her. She passes a small knot of people and instantly freezes as she sees Blue Hand #2. Her previous cheer is replaced with outright terror and she starts backing away, right into the arms of Blue Hands #1.
BH#1:
“River, it’s so nice to see you.”
Back to the viewpoint of BH#2, We see him step up behind Jayne, and in one swift motion, he disassembles Vera off of Jayne’s back, Yanks one half so that the other half whips around in an arc and it slams into Jayne’s surprised face. Jayne goes down, and Mal draws his pistol, only to have it grabbed out of his hand and a foot is driven into his midsection, folding him in half and knocking the wind out of him.
Back to BH#1 and River
BH#1:
“River, you must come back with us. We all miss you back at the academy. Come back and become the star pupil you were always meant to be.”
River wrenches her hands free and lashes out. Her moves are fast, but BH#1 is faster and he blocks all her attempts.
Back over to BH#2 and Mal is trying his best to keep him occupied. He’s losing, Badly. Jayne is recovering and starts looking around for Vera’s parts. He starts assembling the rifle again as Mal launches himself into a final flurry of punches. None of them connect and BH#2 locks him up in a choke hold with the intention of breaking his neck. He’s stopped by a bullet in his back. BH#2 looks merely annoyed and he turns on Jayne who is surprised that BH#2 hasn’t gone down. Jayne fires three more times, all of the bullets catching BH#2 in the chest to no effect. Jayne mutters an “Aww Hell” and switches over to grenade mode and blasts him, the explosion sending BH#2 flying across the plaza.
BH#1 is still fending off River’s attempts at fighting.
BH#1:
“I don’t know why you are still fighting. Any reasonable person would have given up by now. I have seen all of your training and know anything you could possibly come at me with. You can’t beat me, River.”
River:
“I don’t have to beat you, because he will.”
A pistol appears behind BH#1’s head and fires. BH#1 staggers back, a new hole leaking blue fluid. Mal circles him, pistol trained on him. BH#1 reaches into his jacket.
BH#1:
“That was a mistake, Captain Reynolds.”
BH#1 pulls out a sonic brain scrambler, but before he can activate it, Mal blows his hand off.
BH#1:
“ Oh dear.”
Mal:
“Jayne!”
Jayne fires another grenade, this one impacting on BH#1’s head, obliterating it. Mal, struggling from the beating he just took, Puts an arm around River, but she’s the one supporting him.
From around the corner, Zoe and Wash come running.
Zoe:
“Sir! Are you all right?”
Mal:
“Yeah, we’re ok. Weren’t you two getting a room?”
Wash:
“Well, we heard explosions, so we figured Jayne was getting us in trouble.”
Mal:
“Not too far off. Let’s get out of here.”
Back at the ship, Kaylee and Simon are there to greet everyone. Simon is giving Mal dirty looks as he tends to River.
Kaylee:
“That must have been some festival.”
Mal:
“Oh yeah, thrill a minute, let’s never come back.”
