Room 516, Monday

[enginegirl]

Kaylee was sitting on her bed, glancing around at her near empty room. The Christmas lights that were still up were the only sign that someone had lived here.

It was a little hard to believe she would be leaving in a few hours.

[ooc: If you want to say goodbye to Kaylee, this is the last chance to do so; feel free to handwave that she called if

Stark rather liked Kaylee, so he had to come and say goodbye when he heard she was leaving. That would be why he was outside her room now, knocking.

[enginegirl]

Kaylee opened the door, and gave Stark a small smile in greeting. "Hi Stark."

[banikslaveboy]

"Kaylee," Stark replied, offering a small smile of his own. "You're leaving."

[enginegirl]

"Yes," Kaylee said a bit sadly. "Gotta go home and take care of Serenity."

[banikslaveboy]

"Going home is a good reason to leave," Stark said with a nod. "I'm sure the ship misses you."

[enginegirl]

"I miss her, too," Kaylee said, remembering something. "Didn't you wanna see a picture of Serenity?"

[banikslaveboy]

Another nod. "I did. You have one? Not all packed away with everything?"

[enginegirl]

Kaylee reached for one of her bags and retrieved something from it. "Ain't too much trouble finding it in here."

She smiled before handing the photo over. "That's my girl."

[banikslaveboy]

"Thank you," Stark said as he took the photo to look at. "I don't have pictures of Moya. Or Talyn. She looks like a good ship. But any ship that can be home is a good ship, I think."

[enginegirl]

"That I can agree with," Kaylee nodded. "Maybe someday you can go back home to Moya. Or Talyn."

[banikslaveboy]

"Maybe someday," Stark echoed quietly. "I think I'll stay here a while longer first. It's a good place, even if it turned me into a girl the other day. And I like the people. But someday, maybe, it might be good to go back."

[enginegirl]

"It is a good place and I'll miss it," Kaylee said, blinking. "You turned into a girl?"

[banikslaveboy]

"I didn't mean to! But yes. I did. Someone said I was a pretty girl, at least. But I'm glad it went away. Much rather be me," Stark said. "But it is a good place. You could always come back, someday. I'm sure it will still be here."

[enginegirl]

"I'm sure you were a pretty girl," Kaylee agreed. "Maybe I will come back and visit. I'll definitely keep in touch at least."

[banikslaveboy]

"I still think I lookbetter as me," Stark said. "I should have gotten a picture. I wonder if anyone has one. It would be good, to keep in touch."

[enginegirl]

"Then I guess I'm gonna have to," Kaylee said with a grin.
