Zoe frowned. "Where's the mistletoe? It was hanging right there." She pointed over the entrance to Serenity's dining hall.

Mal frowned back. "Don't rightly know."

"Hah," Inara said. "It was hanging outside my shuttle this morning -- as you pointed out."

Mal's face flushed. "Isn't there now." Wash and Jayne shrugged silently.

"What isn't there?" River asked, coming in.

"The mistletoe!" Zoe pointed again.

"That? I just saw it outside the infirmary."

Zoe jumped up, but Inara touched her shoulder. "Just wait."

Five minutes later, a yell sounded from the corridor. "Kayl--mmphh!"

Simon ran in, blushing. Behind him, Kaylee grinned.
