Well, obviously he asked ye to marry him and ye said yes.

[He's going for a bit of dry humor here, except it's not quite working.]

So when are ye planning on having the ceremony?

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Didn't happen so much like that, really... Was more of we were planet-side, 'n he mentioned havin' a real one, and...

[ And here they are. ]

Can't say I know yet. Ain't seen him long enough to corner him and ask about some of the details.

[bonnypiperlad]

Wait, ye mean to say he'd not asked ye properly, he just mentioned it?

[Well, maybe to Dean it was like asking, he supposes.]

Aye, well, if he's going to marry ye, the least he can do is talk to ye about it.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Well...kinda. I guess.

[ Don't make it sound so bad, Jamie. :< ]

He will. Just been busy lately, s'all.

[bonnypiperlad]

[Jamie is able to do that rather a lot, unfortunately. But, taking a look at Kaylee's face, he makes an effort to try and steer the conversation in a slightly more positive direction.]

Are ye happy he's asked ye, Kaylee?

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

[ Kaylee's at least thankful for the effort. ]

Think so. It's just...all kinds of mixed feelin's. The Cap'n ain't around, or my folks, so I feel a bit odd 'bout the idea of carryin' something like this out without 'em, but they might not ever pop, so... 'N there's no tellin' if other things'll happen. If Dean gets repodded, or keeps on this 'My Family's Cursed' thing of his.

Just a lot of factors to think about.

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye. I'd think they'd want ye to, though. Even if they couldn't be there.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Don't imagine they'd want me to wait forever 'n a day for 'em. Idea of it don't stick much better with that thinkin', though.

[bonnypiperlad]

Ye could always have a wedding for them when they do, but... [It's not the same, and he knows it.]

We'll be there for ye, though, Kaylee.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Could, though 'M sure Wash'll fill 'em in on all the details 'fore we even have the chance to propose the idea. [ Awkward word choice, ugh. ]

I know... Xie xie, Jamie, it's more appreciated than you know.

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye, well...maybe so. But it'd be because he's happy for ye, and he'd want the others to know so they can share in it.

We're your friends, Kaylee. And I think we all want ye to be happy, aye?

[Then, almost inaudibly, he murmurs] I wish I could have been the one to make ye that way, though.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Wash's good for that, yeah. Ain't hardly a thing can get him to be anythin' but excited 'n proud to share. Boat wouldn't be half as shiny without him, I think.

I know. Just takes some remindin', on occasion...

[ Kaylee pauses, staring off...until she snaps back and gives Jamie a grin. One hand reaches forward for his. ]

You always make me happy, Jamie. Don't think there's a soul around who could do so the way you manage it.

[bonnypiperlad]

Och, you're just saying that. [Still, he takes her hand in his own, wrapping his fingers around hers as he does so, and gives her a small, crooked smile.]

But...if I do in some way, I'm glad.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Ain't just sayin' so. You do in more ways than I can say.

[ Look, she's even giving you a nice kiss to prove it, Jamie :) ]

[bonnypiperlad]

[His eyes widen in surprise at the rather unexpected kiss, but he finds himself responding...at least, until common sense reasserts itself. He pulls back, then, looking at her in a somewhat confused way.]

Kaylee? What was that for?

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

[ She gives a nervous laugh and wraps her arms around his waist. ] Think it's a bit obvious. Don't act so surprised over it.

[bonnypiperlad]

Aye, but... [Wouldn't she have just kissed him on the cheek or something?]

Ye caught me a bit off guard, is all.

[He does smile at the arms around his waist, though, and wraps his own arms around her in return.]

So would ye like me to play for your wedding, then?

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Ain't near half as fun if you're expectin' it.

[ He does get a bit of a look, though. Really, Jamie, use your head. ]

Bit hard for you to play while you're standin' at the altar, ain't it? I mean, if you really want, I s'pose you can. Guess that might count as vows on some planet...

[bonnypiperlad]

Me? [That...what? He's just going to boggle a minute or so here, don't mind him.]

B-but, Kaylee, ye just said...

[Oh, poor Jamie, so confused.]

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

...yeah, you, who else'd be up there?

[ Seriously, Jamie, where has your head gone? ]

If it's somethin' you'd normally do back home, then I say go for it. This weddin's for both of us, after all, ain't just mine.

[bonnypiperlad]

Well, Dean.

[What on Earth is going on? Not two minutes ago they were discussing the wedding, and Jamie knows perfectly well it wasn't him that was to be the groom. So what changed?]

Do ye not remember? Ye just told me that ye were marrying him.

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

[ Okay, now she's just confused. ]

...mind tellin' me why the gorram hell I'd be marryin' Dean instead of you?

[bonnypiperlad]

Because we've not been courting. You and Dean...[Wait. What if Kaylee's forgotten about that like she's forgotten about the wedding? What does she think happened?]

Kaylee, how did I propose to ye?

[voiceofserenity.livejournal.com]

Me 'n Dean what?

[ Kaylee pauses, brow furrowed, and leans to look Jamie in the eye a bit better. ] Jamie, I don't think you of all people'd need my remindin' for how you proposed to me. Are you alright? You're actin' all outta sorts...

[bonnypiperlad]

[Oh, Kaylee. Jamie gives her a decidedly worried look.] But, Kaylee, don't ye see? That's just it. Dean proposed to ye...er, sort of. I never did.

Och, something's terribly wrong. Ye don't remember any of it at all?
