Serenity

"No matter how far the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further"

Zoe smiled at her friend's expression. She'd never figured him for life in the black, land-born as he was. Had always thought he'd find himself a ranch, raise horses.

She hadn't heard him dream since... well, since. He'd believed so unreservedly, and been crushed so utterly – it could only be sheer bloody-mindedness keeping him going now.

She didn't think a battered old Firefly could help him find back what he'd lost in the Valley, but she'd never before so wished to be wrong.
