I ain't ever heard of the Wonderland thing, so I s'pose I can't rightly write on it. But I can write about what's beautiful.
Serenity's beautiful. Her engine an' all her parts. Her mess. Her cargo hold. Each of our bunks. Some folks might look at her an' not see anything special. Just a bucket of bolts. They don't think Fireflys are worth much. But they don't see what I see. What Cap'n sees. What all of us see when we look at her.
She's our home. She keeps us flyin' an' free. She talks to me, an' I talk to her.
We're a good team, me an' her.
Simon's beautiful, too. An' I don't mean that in just a "he's got pretty eyes" way, though his eyes is something to give a girl all sorts of warm thoughts. But his soul is, too. He's a good man. A kind man. He gave up everything to save River an' he saved my life. He's gentle an' decent an' adjustin' fairly well to a life of crime. It's real cute.
An' River. River's 'bout as beautiful as Serenity. Special, you know? Smart an' sweet an' everything precious. Bit odd in the head, but we love her anyway. She's crew. She's family.
Just like Simon. Just like Serenity. Just like Cap'n and Zoe and Wash an' Inara an' Shepherd an' even Jayne.
Guess family's about the most beautiful thing there is.
