[There is a little girl huddled in a giant night shirt, sitting on the roof of Boy's 19, silently watching the people below as they bustle back and forth, going about their daily lives.]

. . . What are you doing up there?

[sisterskeeper]

I still haven't worked out how she got up there.

[onsen_addict]

Climbing. Kids can do surprising things.

[sisterskeeper]

Let me rephrase that. I haven't worked out how she got up there without any of us noticing.

[onsen_addict]

Huh. Good point.

[sisterskeeper]

[aaaand is up on the roof.]

Well, it seems that Kaylee and I have something to think about.

[onsen_addict]

It's probably just some camp thing. Should you be up there if you just got injured?

[sisterskeeper]

I'm not going to fall.

[onsen_addict]

You'd better not. You get hurt more often than I do.

[sisterskeeper]

The only time I have ever "fallen" from a height is when I jump ... or when the platform falls out from under me.

[onsen_addict]

. . . Don't jinx the roof.

[sisterskeeper]

River, Clark, Kaylee and I built the roof. It's as structurally sound as physically possible.

[onsen_addict]

We're also in camp. It doesn't care about physics.

[sisterskeeper]

The ground is also softer than the floor of Serenity's cargo bay.

[onsen_addict]

Point.

[sisterskeeper]

Which, I now realise, the Captain is not aware that I know, and so I'd be greatly obliged if you were to never tell him of it.
