Wash had been flying on the route towards Ezra since about 10 o'clock that morning, if you could even have 'morning' in space. The job there was supposedly huge, and it could bring them lots of new opportunities; more food, actual food, and maybe a real vacation.
He and Zoe had been trying to find some time to themselves for awhile now...without Mal and everyone else hanging over their shoulders. Wash still slightly resented the fact that Zoe seemed to do whatever Mal said...but always countered whatever her own husband said.
Wash sighed and put the auto-pilot on. As long as nothing unexpected came in front of the ship, say an Alliance cruiser or another Reaver ship, he was fine.
He turned in his chair and grabbed two of his plastic dinosaurs and a palm tree and put them on the console in front of him. "Let's see," he said, making the stegosaurus in his right hand jump around. "Where should you colonise today?"

How about Neptune? *Kaylee stepped ito the cockpit, wiping her hands on a red towel as she walked. She wore her brown jumper, it covered from head to toe in grease, and her hair was yanked up into a ponytail.
She always loved watching Wash fly or play around with his toys, he was after all one of the best friends she had out here in the black. She moved over to the copilots seat and flopped down on it, putting her feet up on the panel, reclining back* So...Ezra. Ever been there?

"Ah, but you forget, Kaylee, there are no palm trees on Neptune," Wash replied, watching as she sat down in the other seat. He put the dinosaurs down and turned to talk to her properly.
"I've been there once...it wasn't much. Reminded me a lot of Persephone." He looked out the window into the stars, watching as they slowly drifted by the ship.
"'Course, I've been a lot of places. Umbriel, Titania, Segan, New China...they're all the same after awhile."

Wash, dear, there are no Dinosaurs either *she giggled a little, yawning a bit*
Suppose so. Think Cap'n will let us actually look around this trip? Or will it be the usual? Him, Jayne and Zoe getting to see the sites while we watch the get away ship.

"Not exactly true. I heard some scientists on Pandora managed to clone some from some DNA they found...though what they made went crazy and killed a lot people...so they had to kill it. Very sad story I know."
"Hopefully, Mal'll let us do some things while we're on Ezra. Preferably after the job is done." He sighed. "I'm tired of not having time with Zoe. And I know you and Simon have been wanting to get away for awhile at least."

Clones are excatly the same *she shrugged a bit, nodding her head in agreement*
Simon wants to show me the town, as he calls in. But he's waitin' till we get to a more civilized planet...so will be waitin' a while *she shrugged a little, blushing a little, thinking about Simon* I know Cap'n isn't to happy about the whole thing.
Can't say I blame you. How have the two of you been anyways? *she sat up, and leaned her arms against the panel, watching him*

"We're doing well. Zoe's a lot more protective of me since the Reaver incident." It was then that he had been closest to death. He managed to land Serenity, albeit dangerously, and had come within an inch of a Reaver harpoon that came through the window.
"She's still pressing the baby issue...which I have to say, I would not mind at all, though I'm still a little leary of it, what with the life we lead."

Least life is easier...what with the alliance not havin' that warrant on River and Simon anymore. *she grew quiet* Least you two talk about things like that.
*She was having issues, she was bottling so many things up anymore. She didn't feel like she could talk about them with Simon, she didn't feel like they could honestly talk about such things. They talked about jobs...and sometimes if she was lucky, she'd hear stories about his life on Osiris, when they were lying together. But normally...it was talk about how good a cup of tea was*

"True enough," he said.
He noticed her silence and said, "Is everything OK with you and Simon?"

*She blinked, looking to him* Huh? Oh...yeah, ofcourse *she smiled. She was probably just paranoid...she shouldn't be worrying, she reassured herself*

Wash nodded slowly. He didn't quite believe her, but knew not to press the issue.
"Alright, mei-mei," he said. turning back to the console. "You ever wanna talk, just let me know. I'm always willing to listen."

"Alright," he said, taking the auto-pilot off and taking control of Serenity again.
'Just a little longer and we'll be there,' he thought.
