Episode V: My ride
{A: Action - Open to all}
-- location: John Doe Park
-- time: Midday
[A 40 foot long X-wing starfighter doesn't really fit in the average suburban driveway, let alone a two-car garage, so Luke's landed it in the park to tinker with it. He's brought some tools with him and laid them out on the grass, some made by other people in town, some made by himself, and others from the hardware store that he thought looked semi useful. The severe lack of technology here has been a bit frustrating to say the least.
Luke's sitting cross-legged on top of the craft near the astromech droid port with a couple tools, hunched over an open panel. There's a sudden spark and he quickly pulls his hand away.] Ow!
{B: Phone - Open to Kaylee Frye}
-- time: Early evening
Hey, it's me. You want to be spontaneous with me? Let's do something tonight.

[Luke stops himself. Maybe that's not the best way to handle this. Picky already looks relatively uncomfortable.]
I promise we won't kiss when you're around, okay?
[Yeah, this perch is officially uncomfortable now. He peers into the cockpit. Picky is little and Luke is pretty slim. That seat is plenty big enough for the both of them.]
Here, scoot over.
no subject
Okay. Fine...
[And he doesn't hesitate to scoot over. It's a little close in there, but not uncomfortably so.]
...you sure the town isn't MAKING you guys want to date? Cuz it does that sometimes.
no subject
The town does a lot really mean things but I don't think it would want us to be this happy. Usually it does things to make us scared or angry or uncomfortable.
Even if the town were making us date, it wouldn't be any different from the town making Kaylee your mother. She's not your real mom, she's just a stranger that the town decided should live in your house.
no subject
[The kid was still skeptical. Highly skeptical.]
She's a pretty good not-real mom, though. And way better than a drone mom. And better than...
...She's really nice! Really, really nice! So you'd better be really nice to her, okay?
no subject
But don't worry. I love Kaylee. I'm in love with her. And when you love somebody like that, well... I couldn't dream of doing anything to hurt her. When she's hurting I'm hurting, and when she's happy I'm happy. That's just how it works.
[Though it is quite adorable how protective over Kaylee Picky is.]
no subject
He's looking a little grossed out by all the looooove talk. Couldn't they go back to spaceship talk? Spaceships were way better than love.]
You make sure to take really good care of her, then! Especially when the town gets bad!
...hey, does your spaceship actually take off? [Yes, he is certainly going to try to change the subject to something less schmoopy.]
no subject
Of course it does. You don't think I keep it around just to look at it.
But, speaking of the town being mean, it gave me the ship with almost no fuel so I have to be really careful about how much I fly it around.
no subject
[He had a brilliant idea, he did! ...or maybe not so brilliant. Hearing about the fuel situation, his face fell.]
Almost none? Really? ...and I bet you can't get more here, huh....
no subject
If only I could. Soon as I can I'll see how high I can fly before I run into Mayfield's dome or force field or whatever they've got caging us.
But you know what? I know of a few people who have spaceships, too. Much bigger ones than mine. You ever been down Goldberg Street?
[Great idea, Luke. Get Picky excited about yet another spaceship that doesn't have enough fuel to go anywhere.]
no subject
...oh? I have, yeah, but not lately. Who's got a spaceship there?!
[Yup. Picky's excited. Even if it can't go anywhere.]
no subject
Malcolm Reynolds does. It's huge! Big enough that you can actually live in it. I'll bet he wouldn't mind if you came to visit.
[Sending a small, excitable child over to see the grouchy space pirate. Good job, Luke.]
no subject
Woah! So big you can LIVE in it? That's huge! I've gotta go see this! ....uh...
Can you help me out of here?
