She soon became more than a business
partner. As the years moved by many
left; Jayne finally got a ship of his own and became better off for it. The Doc and Kaylee got hitched and road out a
few more years with us until they settled down on a moon at the edge of the
verse; oh and about River….well that is a whole other story.
After living on the raggedy edge for far too long Angel and
I decided to settle down ourselves. We had worked hard for many a year, it was
our time; we thought. We found a world
were simple folk lived found a spread and bought a new life for just us. When things looked right I sent Serenity on
her last flight. I put a fake message on
her log saying something like a mission went awry and she left without us. Angel and I watched as she took off and broke
atmo and headed off into the black. I
still have the recall button Wash gave me once, just for memory sake. 
Our years on the world at first were happy. Angel would dance and I would clap along to
the old tunes from earth that was. 
But
then the past came back to haunt us. Word
got out where I was and some came looking for revenge. We fought them off together side by side just
like all those years spent in out in the black of space. But then all this got the Alliance’s
attention and then soon remembered and old wanted poster with my name. It became an excuse to haul me in on long ago
trumped up charges. So then came the
bounty hunters; everyday brought new challenges, we never knew what we would
wake up to….. I….we should have stayed
in the air…..where is my Serenity now?
Seems like peace is hard to come by, you always have to pay
for pass sins. I heard that from a
Shepherd once. I would have never known
the battles Angel and I still had to fight.
Life always gets in the way of living.
Seemed like every day we had to fight just to be together. Now she is gone; taken…..kept away from me in
hopes I will fall into a trap once more.
Life has a way of separating us, but I will find her, I will have my
time with her and then this life, will have to consider my dept paid. So that is where I find myself today; pushing
that recall button. I will find Serenity
and then I will find my Wife!
