Firefly - “RAINBOW TEARS” Written by Sarahannah Hopwood Chapter 13 On the bridge of Serenity, Wash and Mal stare at their impending doom.  The ground rushes up to meet them.  The nose of Serenity is bulging from where she was hit.  Its making it difficult to see through the window clearly.  Wash is concentrating, his eyes set on the ground.  He ignores the blood that runs into his eyes.  Mal’s hand is gripped uncomfortably tight on Wash’s shoulder.     Serenity bucks slightly, threatening to flip, but Mal stands firm.  Wash pulls at the yolk, keeping her from spinning wildly as she continues to pick up speed.   “

Firefly - “RAINBOW TEARS” Written by Sarahannah Hopwood Chapter 12 Jayne roughly pulls the truck up next to Serenity’s Shuttle One.  The sandstorm has almost faded out, but everything still has a misty haze to it.  Zoë and Mal jump out of the truck cab and hurry to the shuttle door.  Jayne pounds on the shuttle door with his fist.   “Kaylee, let us in!” Zoë yells.  As she checks their backs, she freezes.  The bodies of Alliance Soldiers lie scattered next to a second military truck.  She kneels next to the soldier closest to her and ch

Firefly - “RAINBOW TEARS” Written by Sarahannah Hopwood Chapter 11 Wash is sprawled against the crates at the back of Shuttle Two.  He slowly begins to stir and he takes a deep breath, letting it out as a groan.  He opens his eyes and blinks, looking around.  He groggily wipes his brow with the back of the hand, he peers down at it, unable to focus on it properly.  Its covered in blood.  He frowns and blinks again, unable to comprehend what he’s seeing.  He looks up to see Rem sat in the pilot seat of the shuttle, hunched over the controls.   “Whats…whats going on?  I’m…bleeding…whats up with that?

Firefly - “RAINBOW TEARS” Written by Sarahannah Hopwood Chapter 9 Mal, Jayne and Zoë stand near the hatch in the cargo bay floor.  All three are wrapped in scarves and with goggles tightly over their eyes.  They’re laughing.  Their voices sound strange through the layers they’re wearing to keep the sand at bay.  Mal adjusts the tinted goggles he‘s wearing.   “It will be…uh, best not to talk s’much when we get down there.  Don’t wanna give our position away.” his voice sounds strange, heavily muffled by the big woolly scarf ar

Firefly - “RAINBOW TEARS” Written by Sarahannah Hopwood Chapter 8 The bridge of Serenity is silent.  Through the windows the stars shimmer through a misty haze.  Buttons and lights on the control panel flash and glow, making the bridge look like the sky outside.      Wash is sat in the pilot seat, his hand is resting lazily on the yolk, hanging limply.  He’s leaning forward a little, fast asleep.  Rem walks up behind him, looking at the starry night sky.  She’s wearing a thick dressing gown and her hair is messed up.  She’s obviou

Firefly - “RAINBOW TEARS” Written by Sarahannah Hopwood Chapter 7 The crew are sat around the dining table, which is laden with bowls of vegetables and a large roast joint.  Alongside this feast is the usual protein which, unsurprisingly hasn’t been touched.  Everyone is eating enthusiastically and laughing at each others jokes and stories.  There are two empty seats at the table.  Kaylee notices this and looks puzzled.   “Where are Wash and Zoë?” she asks looking round.  Everyone turns to her and the table goes quiet.  She raises her eyebrows and puts her hands over her mouth as the penny drops.  The table e

Firefly - “RAINBOW TEARS” Written by Sarahannah Hopwood Chapter 6 Wash, Kaylee and River are stood in the small cockpit of Serenity’s Shuttle One, looking around at their handiwork.  The shuttle has been decorated with rich coloured silks hanging from the ceiling and walls, in the small space it looks very grand.  There is a bed in the center of the space, a focal point as the place that a companion does most of her work.  Its like Inara never left Serenity.  Was puts his hands on his hips and shakes his head.   “Well that was the girliest thing I’ve ever done.

Firefly - “RAINBOW TEARS” Written by Sarahannah Hopwood Chapter 5 A large holographic map is floating above the table in the dining room of Serenity.  The crew is seated around the it looking closely at the map that almost fills the whole table top.  Jayne is peering closely at it cradling a cup of coffee in his hands.  Mal and Rem are stood at opposite ends of the table, both have their eyes on the map.  Rem leans forward on the table and clears her throat ready to speak to the assembled crew.   “Its pretty simple, the Alliance Soldiers are rotated every two hours during th

Firefly - “RAINBOW TEARS” Written by Sarahannah Hopwood Chapter 4 Mal strides along a small grimy corridor with sloped walls.  He is well and truly lost in the bowels of The Horizon and he is far from his crew.  He slows down and lets out a long breath through his nose.  He grinds to a halt and sits on a thin ledge jutting out from the lower part of the wall.  He holds his hands out in front of him and stares at them as if it’s the first time he’s ever seen them.  They’re shaking violently and there are little half moon indentations in his palms where his short nail
