First up? "Do you want to play" by Jewel
Pairing: Simon/Kaylee from Firefly
Simon's father always taught him that he had a reputation to maintain. After all, he was the Senator's son. He knows the difference between proper and naughty. He knows that dirt is bad. His mama scolded him.
He also knows that his mama sniffs every time they pass the cute little shop with the peeling sign as they drive him to school. But there's a cute little girl who sometimes plays outside of the shop and she's got a smudge of dirt on her nose.
Their car breaks down one day and as he's sitting there wondering how dirt could be so bad, the girl comes running up to him. "Hi! I'm Kaylee. Wanna play?" Simon stares at her for a minute before taking her hand and following her back to her jacks and sidewalk chalk.
