ON PERSEPHONE:
“What is wrong? You don’t like the dress?”

“Oh I’m sure its popular with the Ronin Corps – they still around? – but I specifically asked for – a – slinky – dress for my wife,” Wash said, thinking ‘Next time, I’m enunciating.’

“This _is_ slinky dress,” the salesman insisted.

“I’m taking my wife dancing,” Wash said, “not on some covert op.”

“A woman can dance in this, too.”

“Great. But you’re missing one thing.”

“Yes? That is what?”

“It’s not a dress!”

“Yes it is.”

“No, it’s –“ Wash stopped as the salesman wiggled the slinky’s waistband…and down tumbled a long dress, blanketing the pants-legs. “Now it’s a dress.”

The end.

I love it! Excellent use of the multiple meanings of the word 'slinky'. And totally Wash :D

Do we get a sequal where we see him give Zoe the dress? Please please pretty please? *bats eyelashes*
