I'm so very very glad you liked it :oD

I like to think that engine deflux is like a detox for your engine, only fluxy. *nods* Possibly it can be done naked... I'm sure Kaylee finds another top jock for the Versta, or makes one from spare parts, or mithers Mal until he finally buys a new one.

I was writing a Wash/Zoe but it was for you, so technobabble had to occur. ;o)

What happens next is that they get married. In three days. And Zoe stands up and says 'I love you'.

I'm pleased you like the voices and the details and the Wash-ness, and with the 'preferably right damn now' I confess I was thinking 'now what would the repsonse of a woman be to this? Oh yeah, get over here Wash!' *grins*

I hope you had a really happy and fun birthday! :oD
