Niall Horan Imagine (Dirty)
It's been such a long day at work. You couldn't wait to go home and see the boys. You've been friends with the boys since you met them on The X-Factor. And tonight, you were all going to watch a movie together.
As you finally walked through the front door to Harry's house, you saw Zayn picking up his coat off of the staircase railing and walking towards the door. "Where are you going?" you asked shutting the door behind you. "Liam, Louis and I were asked to go to the studio. Apparently they thought our parts needed to be re-done." he said looking back to see if Louis and Liam were following him. "Oh okay. So is it just going to be me, Harry, and Niall?" you asked walking towards the couch, plopping down next to Niall taking some of his chips. "Nope." Harry added. "I'm going to go help my mum pack up everything. So it's only going to be you and Niall, love." he said, standing up off the couch and also walking towards the door. Harrys mum was planning on moving to London and Harry was trying to get her packed up as soon as possible, excited that he would be able to see her more often. "Okay. That's fine." you said, smiling at Niall. You've always had a little crush on Niall..but never once thought he was interested since you weren't really his type.
Once Liam, Louis, Zayn, and Harry left, you went over to where they kept the movies and started looking through them. "What do you want to watch?" you asked Niall, still looking at all of the movies. "Mmm..I don't care." He replied. "Fine then. I'll pick." you said playfully. He smiled, taking a blanket that was left on the floor and covering himself with it. You picked a random movie and put it in the DVD player then headed towards the couch to sit down again. You looked over at him. He was focused on the T.V. screen. You couldn't take your eyes off of him. You felt like you were trying to pull away before he caught you staring at him but you just couldn't look away. His hair was messy from him running his hands through it. All you could think about was him on top of you kissing your neck while entering your body. Hearing him moan your name. "(Y/N)?" You were pulled from your thoughts. "W-what?" you looked over at him. He was grinning. "Are you okay?" he asked, as he started to giggle. "Yeah..Why?" you asked him..confused. "Because, you were staring at me and whimpering." You could feel your face turning red. What if he knew exactly what you were thinking? "Oh..um..I was just…thinking about how Im really thirsty." you said, trying not to make it obvious you were lying. "Oh do you want water? Soda?" he said standing up. "Water please." you said, hoping he fell for it. He came back a minute later with 2 water bottles in his hand. He handed you one and then sat down.
As you were watching the movie, you could feel him glancing over at you. You weren't sure if it was because he was trying to see if you were looking at him or if it was because he wanted exactly what you wanted. You started to want him more and more. You couldn't help yourself. You just threw up words without even thinking. "NIALL! Please just fuck me already!!" You covered my mouth, in shock. You couldn't believe you just said that. You were looking over at him, trying to see how he reacted. He looked just as surprised. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say tha-" You were cut off by his lips pressing to yours. His lips moved down to your jaw then further down to your neck. You let out a sigh. He stood up, grabbing your hand and leading you up to the nearest bedroom. He started removing your shirt. You began to unbuckle your belt and took off your shorts, throwing them to the side of the room. Niall resumed to kissing your neck, slowly making his way down to your chest. He reached behind your back, trying to find the hook of your bra. "Wait wait wait." You said stopping him from what he was doing. "What is it?" he asked, looking concerned. "It's just, I've been wanting you for a long long time..But the thing is…I've never had sex before." You said, feeling really embarrassed. "Wait, you're a virgin?" he asked. "..Yeah." You answered, hesitantly. He started to smile. Then finally he couldn't help himself. He burst out laughing. You slapped his shoulder. "Why are you laughing?!" You asked, looking surprised that he would laugh at something like that considering he had just had sex for the first time not too long ago. "It's just, I wasn't expecting you to be a virgin." he said, getting himself under control. "Well why would you think I wasn't?" You asked. "Because of the way you just yelled at me saying you wanted me to fuck you!" He started chuckling again. "Well so-rry. Sometimes I blurt out things I don't mean." You said, folding your arms. "Oh so you don't want me to fuck yo-" "Wait!..Well..I mean.." You said, realizing how desperate you sounded. He started to laugh again. "So you do?" He asked, getting closer to you, not taking his eyes off of you, waiting for you to say stop. When you didn't say anything, he unhooked your bra and threw it on the floor. He pushed your shoulders gently, making you lay down on the bed and his body on top of yours. He started licking your breasts, sucking on each nipple. You let out a soft moan. You started to feel really exposed. You looked at him, pushing him off of you so you were both sitting up again. "What's wrong?" he asked. You reached for his shirt. He realized what you wanted and started to take it off while you unbuckled his belt. He stood up off of the couch and removed his pants, kicking them off of his feet only leaving him in his boxers. He got back on top of you, going back to what he was doing. "Wuh wuh wait." You said looking at his boxers as if you wanted those off too. He got back up smiling and letting out a chuckle. He took off his boxers and then got back on top of you, trailing kisses down your stomach until he reached your inner thighs. He kissed them gently then looked up at you to make sure you were okay with what he was about to do. When you didn't do anything, he started to lick your slit. He then sucked on your clit, making you moan out his name. You could feel him smile at how much pleasure you were getting out of this. You started getting really sensitive after he was doing this for a while. "Niall, stop really fast." He stopped, looking up at you. "Is everything okay?" He asked. "Yeah, I just need to stop for a minute." He layed down next to you. Once you let yourself wind down, you rolled over on top of him an started kissing his neck. His skin felt soft against your lips. You couldn't believe you were doing this with Niall. But something about it felt absolutely amazing. You started grinding against him. Niall flipped you over and started removing your underwear. He got on top of you getting ready to enter your body. "Are you ready, (Y/N)?" At this point you were feeling really nervous..you knew that if you decided you didn't want this anymore, he would stop. But looking at his beautiful blue eyes, waiting for an answer, you knew you wanted this. You nodded. "Okay, love. This might hurt." he said, looking just as nervous as you were. He slowly entered your body. Pain immediately filled you. You squeezed your eyes shut, biting your lip so you wouldn't scream. He started to push into you further and faster. You could feel tears forming in your eyes. You couldn't help yourself. You let out a scream. Niall suddenly stopped thrusting. "Oh god. Are you okay?" He pulled out of you. "We can stop.. I'm so sorr-" "No. Niall, I want this. Please just continue." you said, pulling him back down to the missionary position. "But-" you cut him off again. "Niall, please." you said, almost whining. He had a worried look on his face but inserted into you again. He was thrusting slowly. You could feel him getting faster and deeper. The pain was still intense but something about it also sent pleasure running up your whole body. "Faster, Niall." he started thrusting faster, making you moan. You both started getting really into it. You started digging your nails in his back from the pain and pleasure that he was putting you through. "Urrruuhhhhh (Yyy-Nnn)" Niall moaned into your ear. Hearing him being so vocal was sending you over the edge. "Nialluhh!" you were trying to say but was taken over by a moan. "Hmm?" he answered, still thrusting fast inside you. "I-I think I'm going to cum!" He smiled. "Go ahead, love. I'm ready." You both started to ride out your orgasms together. He pulled out of you and layed down next to you. You felt empty without him inside you. After resting for a while, you both got up and started getting dressed. You didn't feel so uncomfortable getting dressed in front of him anymore. You both went downstairs and sat on the couch, restarting the movie you had put in earlier. Suddenly Zayn, Liam, and Louis walked in the door. "Hey guys." Zayn said, putting his coat down. "Did we miss anything?" Louis asked, flopping down on the couch next to you. "Nope." Niall said. "Nothing at all."

Downtown Fairfield is ideal hunting grounds to score stuff and soak in the social scene
1. Roll With It
Young, fit and bored—grab a board and switch to a West Coast frame of mind. One stop into Day One Skate Shop proves skateboarding is hot on this coast, too—the shop is run by enthusiasts who will help you pick out the right board for you, and an awesome one, too, that will make a personal statement as you roll up. 1138 Post Rd., Fairfield, 203-331-9525; dayoneskateshop.com

4. Bag It
If you find us shopping at Party Party all the time, it is because owner Mary Thornton exemplifies what is best about Fairfield's small businesses: They know what Fairfielders want.

They come in a bunch of adorable patterns and can be monogrammed. 14 Sanford St., Fairfield, 203-292-9277; partypartyfairfield.com
5. Bling it on
When we dropped into Jenny Boston recently, we were delighted to find pretty tops, preppy bags, cheery scarves and lots of coastal-inspired jewelry for everyday. Coral, turquoise, white, we found sunburst necklaces and drop earrings that were so reasonably priced, they were zero-guilt splurges. 1300 Post Rd., 203-292-6334; jennyboston.com

Nine Inch Nails - The Wretched
Well… that was interesting.
There's really no easy way to cover a NIN song. My original intent was to record a completely stripped down acoustic version, but somewhere along the line I lost my way and took it too far. Trying to actually recreate a song via Reznor's original formula is just a recipe for humiliating yourself. That dude has some monster synths at his disposal, but more importantly, he knows what the fuck he's doing with them. Plus, he's a damn good pianist and that's something I definitely cannot say about myself. I can hold my own on just about any other instrument, but stick me in front of some keys and I'm mostly useless.
So I guess this falls somewhere between an acoustic guitar arrangement and an attempt at capturing the key tones of the original. I ran out of time at the end and the synth drums are what ended up suffering the most and then I had to rush the final mix.

Dreaming of How It Was Going to Be, Episode 1.5: the Firefly Musical Episode
Chapter List:
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters or worlds used in this story, including (but not limited to) Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly. No harm is intended toward any of the copyright owners. This story is intended for entertainment purposes only.
This story contains substantial amounts of lyrics from the episode "Once More, With Feeling". I suppose I ought to mention that.
Continuity Notes:
This "story" takes place in the same universe as "Dreaming of How It Was Going to Be". In that story, I noted that Firefly ran for seven seasons, and had a musical episode in Season Six. This… is that episode.
PROLOGUE: The First Five Seasons
In the universe Xander created in "Dreaming of How It Was Going to Be", Firefly wasn't cancelled midway through season one. Therefore, in order to get to Firefly's version of "Once More, With Feeling", you probably should know what happened in the first five seasons.
For starters, the events of the film Serenity did not happen quite as they did in the "real world". Season one did see Inara leave the ship and return to Sihnon and the academy. The Blue-Handed Men continued pursuing River, and the season ended with Mal and company saving the Companion Academy from the Blue-Handed Men's evil activities. Inara decided to return to the ship.
Season two found Shepherd Book away on Haven. Simon got into a fight with Mal after River was put in danger on a mission, and Mal put them off the ship. The show continued on two fronts for a few episodes, until finally they all met up on Beaumonde and River was "activated". The next few episodes covered finding out what Miranda was, along with an amusing subplot starring Mr. Universe and his "wife". At the same time, the Operative began his activities as chronicled in Serenity, eventually becoming the Big Bad of the season. Shepherd Book lived, but Wash was still killed in the final arc, as was Mr. Universe. The Operative was defeated. At the end, we found that Mr. Universe somehow managed to upload his brain to a computer, and he joined the crew in that way. Also, Simon and Kaylee got together, and Reavers were defeated.
Season three started with mop-up activities more-or-less related to ending the entire Reavers story arc. It also introduced a new quasi-villain, Georgianna Gray (played by Cordelia Chase). She started out similar to YoSafBridge, but as Zoe became more and more subdued, Georgie (her nickname) found a way to insinuate herself into the crew. After a fight with Inara, Georgie took advantage of Mal, seduced him, and he was too honorable to go back to flirting with Inara the way he had been. In the end it was Zoe, Inara, and Kaylee against Mal, Georgie, and Jayne, with Simon, River, and Book handling some unnamed subplot. Georgie was defeated, Mal was contrite, and the season ended. Also, Book's history was explored throughout the season, including everything he used to be before becoming a Shepherd. The final shot of the season was Book going back to the Alliance with a subtitle of "three months later".
Season four began with a bang — a Firefly-class transport ship evading an Alliance cruiser, and then being blown out of the sky. We saw Book on the bridge, his finger on the firing button. Cut to credits. It turns out that, over the "summer", another Firefly was impersonating Mal and his crew, and Serenity was put in drydock. Book "reactivated" himself to destroy the impostors. The crew moved to a bigger, nicer ship. This led to divisiveness as Kaylee wanted nothing more than to go back to Serenity, and her relationship with Simon suffered as a result. The situation was resolved when the crew abandoned the ship to save an Alliance cruiser under attack from a powerful new enemy. When they returned to where they'd "parked" Serenity, she was gone, and the rest of the season was spent pursuing the ship. Georgianna Gray was the one who stole it, and she and Mal had it out. Georgie won, but Mal managed to escape his bonds and activate Mr. Universe, who saved the day.
Season five opened with River and Simon at a retreat where River could hone her mind and body to heretofore-unknown levels. This meant Simon and Kaylee couldn't be together. This went on for about six episodes (with fallout from the rest of the season as Simon could no longer even pretend to protect River), until they rejoined the crew. The rest of the season was similar to Babylon 5: Crusade in that the powerful new enemy from S4 had barricaded the core worlds, exposing them to a deadly pathogen. Using companion connections, Inara acted as an information broker between the Alliance and Mal and his crew (and Georgie Gray, who somehow managed to insinuate herself again), who took it upon themselves to save the Alliance from the disease. Georgie performed a grand act of sacrifice that, while not killing her, redeemed her. At the end of the season, Simon and Jayne joined forces to bring the cure to Londinium, and Jayne died. Simon revived him (think "Prophecy Girl"), but he was in a coma. In the season finale, Mal and the crew attacked the new enemy, eventually uncovering the source of their diabolical medical science. Simon used it to try and save Jayne, but failed. However, as Jayne's body lay in the darkness of the infirmary, his eyes snapped open.
Season six. Jayne's beliefs meant that, once you're dead, you lose your soul. His family didn't believe in resurrection, even through medical means, and they shunned him. Kaylee and Simon's relationship, already rocky, finally ended in episode one. On shore leave, Kaylee found Georgie Gray and they formed a relationship (I haven't quite figured out how this happened, but if Spike and Buffy can fall in love, then so can Georgie and Kaylee; let's just assume enough hints and scenes were scattered through seasons 3, 4, and 5 to support it). Mal and Inara continued dancing around each other. Zoe was mostly back to normal, except that she got a package from Wash's family that brought all the memories back. In "Once More, With Feeling", someone has released a hypnotic virus into a domed city on a moon somewhere, and the virus is making people sing to music that somehow is being piped through all the city's comm systems…
ONE: Going Through the Motions
Jayne left the bar in a foul mood. Ever since he'd lost his soul, he hadn't been able to get drunk. Not really. Fortunately, there were plenty of drunk people around, and with only a little goading, he was always able to get them to take a swing at him.
And, even better, the gorram dome city was perfectly temp-controlled, so everyone saw he wasn't carrying a concealed weapon. When the police came — and they always did — Jayne could simply say he'd been defending himself.
Tonight, for some reason, he heard music as he threw his first punch.
Every single night, the same arrangement,
I go out and fight the fight.
Still I always feel this strange estrangement,
Nothing here is real, nothing here is right.
I've been making shows of trading blows
Just hoping no one knows
That I've been going through the motions,
Walking through the part,
Nothing seems to penetrate my heart.
I was always brave, but never righteous,
Now I find there's no such thing.
Come and fight with me, you'll find this all
Just doesn't mean a thing—
He ain't got that swing—
Thanks for noticing.
More Drunk Fighters
He breaks the law quite well and raises Hell
But lately we can tell
That he's just going through the motions
Faking it somehow.
He's not even half the man he— owww…
Will I stay this way for always?
A soulless man for all of my days?
Girl Who'd Been Getting Menaced By Muggers
Jayne, with you I'll lay—
So she says…
I don't want to be…
Going through the motions
Barely half alive
I can't even see
If this man's really me
And I just want to be
Jayne stumbled into the mess hall and plunked himself at his usual spot. Kaylee set a breakfast plate in front of him. "'Morning, Jayne!"
"Thanks," he said. The others filed in, one or two at a time — he gave Kaylee and Georgie a token leer when they kissed good-morning, and didn't miss Simon's glare, either. "Hey, did anything weird happen to you all last night?"
"Like… Like what?" Simon asked. After their mission on Londinium, the two of them had formed a mutual respect for each other.
"Like… singing?"
"Thank goodness," Mal sighed. "I thought it was just me."
I've got a theory, that it's hypnosis.
Mass hypnosis… no, something isn't right there.
I've got a theory: it's a neurosis,
And somehow we all shared a music-ridden nightmare.
I've got a theory we should work this out.
All but Kaylee
It's getting eerie; what's this cheery singing all about?
It could be witches — some evil witches…
(spoken, not sung) Which is ridiculous, because supernatural and paranormal activity clearly does not exist, or at least has not been empirically proven. Unless of course this is some sort of post-hypnotic suggestion that we've been triggered to believe; although, in that case, why would we all… (looks around, blushes) Never mind.
I've got a theory: it could be Reavers.
All pause.
I've got a theor—
Reavers could be here, drugging us up with crazy doses
Of mind controlling-drugs, right underneath our noses.
They just want to eat us,
Or savagely beat us all until we're dead.
Reavers… Reavers… it could be Reavers!
All pause.
Or the Alliance..?
I've got a theory we should work this fast—
Simon and River
Because it clearly could get serious before it's passed.
I've got a theory: it doesn't matter.
What can't we face if we're together?
What's in this 'verse that we can't weather?
The Operative? We kicked his tail.
And Hands of Blue? We saw them fail.
All Together
What can't we do if we get in it?
We'll work it through within a minute.
We have to try; we'll pay the price.
It's do or die—
Mal (spoken)
Hey, Niska killed me… twice!
All Together
What can't we face if we're together?
(Book fugue) What can't we face?
What's in this 'verse that we can't weather?
(Book fugue) If we're together?
There's nothing we can't face.
Except for Reavers.
"Well, that was peculiar," Book said. "I didn't even know I could sing."
"I never sung nothin' 'til now. 'Cept for the Ballad of Jayne." Jayne grinned.
Kaylee had her hand in Georgie's. "You think this is happening in other places on the world?"
"One way to find out." Mal flipped on the wall screen and dialed up the exterior camera. "Well," he said. "Ain't that a thing."
The crew all stared, gobsmacked, as a man in business clothing held up a shirt as if it were a trophy. Behind him, dozens more people held shirts, waving them like flags.
Mustard Guy
They got
The mustard
They got the mustard out!
The captain had sent Kaylee and Georgie to scout around, see if anyone was being harmed by the singing and dancing. Simon hadn't been able to determine what was causing it to happen, but it wasn't hurting any of the crew. "Still," Mal had said, "we need to know the situation, and since we ain't going nowhere, you might as well stretch your legs a spell."
"Seems okay," Georgie said as they strolled through a little park. Kaylee stopped walking; Georgie turned to face her. "What is it?"
Kaylee smiled. "You really love me, don't you?"
Georgie blushed. "I do."
I spend my days below decks, never the stars on my face.
Just fixin' all these shipwrecks; I figured that was my place.
Now I'm bathed in light. Something just isn't right
I'm under your spell.
How else could it be, anyone would notice me?
It's love; yes, I can tell.
How you set me free, brought me out so easily.
I see a 'verse enchanted, beauty and love in the air.
Simon, he took for granted that I would always be there.
But your love has shone, brighter than any I've known.
I'm under your spell.
Nothing I can do; you just took my soul with you.
You made me feel so well,
And finally I knew that everything I dreamed was true.
You made me believe…
Musical interlude, which ends with a cut to the engine room and Kaylee's hammock.
The moons, stars, and tide; I can feel you inside.
(Georgie begins making love to Kaylee.)
I'm under your spell.
My ship's flying free, bringing me where I should be.
My heart, I feel it swell,
Lost in ecstasy, just you, me, and Serenity.
You make me complete.
You make me complete.
You make me complete.
You make me complete.
Mal tapped on the door of Inara's shuttle. It opened and he stepped inside, ducking his head a little. "You in here?" He laughed at himself. "What am I saying; of course you're here."
"What is it, Mal?" she asked, the picture of grace and poise.
"I was just wonderin'," he said, "what kind of songs you've been singing lately."
"Well, what kind of songs have you been singing?"
He raised his eyebrows. "I'll sing you mine if you'll sing me yours."
"Really, Mal, that's rather juvenile."
"I'm a simple man," he said, smiling at her. "Mine are simple pleasures."
This is the man that I guess I've entangled; isn't he fine?
I'm a companion; my claim to fame: a reputation sublime.
Though I'm still in the biz, my shuttle and heart remain his.
The only trouble is—
I'll never tell.
She is the one, she's got beauty and oh, such passion and grace.
Warm in the night, though I've not felt her tight—
Embrace! Tight embrace!
I don't want her to know that I'm in love with her and so
There's just one thing that—
No. I'll never tell
Because there's nothing to tell.
Say "whore", she freezes.
He could just change what he says
And he's always shooting first no matter what the cost
I talk, she breezes
No touches, only teases
My feelings like diseases that I thought were long-lost.
The vibe gets kind of scary.
Like she thinks I'm ordinary.
Like my love's just temporary.
Like she's sometimes kind of scary.
But it's all very well,
'Cause you know I'll never tell.
When jobs get all snowy, he just hides behind his Zoe
Now look, he's getting blowy
'Cause he knows that I know
Plus: he's rude, he's clingy, he doesn't know to bring me
The things I—
Her words, they sting me—
This is my verse, hello! He—
Mal, as the tempo increases
Ti wu du pigu! I'm dancing all crazy!
Musical interlude commences, with much dancing.
You know—
You really can dance—
My Captain Tightpants—
The most beautiful of my crew, she's
Got those lips as red as rubies,
And her firm and supple—
Tight embrace!
Tempo increases for more dancing.
He's swai.
She's swai-er.
He sets my heart afire
It's why I'm such a liar: 'cause I'm petrified.
I've read this tale: there's love, sex, and betrayal.
The day will come again when I just run and hide.
I lied; I said it's easy.
I've tried, but there's these fears I can't quell.
Can she stop the job that brought her here?
Will I see the man 'neath his veneer?
Will our life become too stressful 'cause the thieving's not successful?
Will he just call me a whore and make me kick him out the door?
Am I crazy?
Am I dreaming?
Will we both just run off screaming?
We could really raise the beam and let this all go to hell.
So, you know I'll never tell.
I swear that I'll never tell.
My lips: they're sealed.
Won't say it out loud.
Nothing to see; move it along.
I'll never…
Jayne, Simon, and River walked through the shipyard, trying not to burst into song. Of all of them, only River had managed to control exactly when she sang. "Mind over music," she'd said enigmatically while Simon scanned her brain.
"But you love music," Simon protested as they walked. "You've always loved dancing."
"Dancing ain't singing," Jayne said. "But, River… just so's you know, I think your dancing's pretty… well, pretty."
"Why, Jayne," she said, pirouetting around him, her skirt fluttering in the artificial breeze, "what a sweet thing to say."
Jayne blushed and steered them around a shipyard enforcement officer.
Female Freighter Captain
I've been having a bad, bad day.
Come on, won't you put your binders away?
(Officer cuffs her.)
I'm asking you, please, no!
It isn't right; it isn't fair!
My ship desperately needs repair!
Those smuggled goods, they weren't there!
Why can't you let it go?
I think I've paid more than my share.
(Looks slyly up at him.)
I'm not wearing underwear…
Jayne usually didn't have company when he woke up early to exercise. But this morning he found River sitting on his weight bench in the corner of the cargo bay, head in her hands.
"Are you… cryin'?"
She sniffed hard, but didn't look up. "Tears. Physiogonomic response to strong emotional stimuli. What emotional stimuli could I be responding to?"
"I dunno." Jayne sat beside her. "You wanna… um… talk about it?"
River grabbed his arm, hard enough to hurt. "All I want is peace." She looked up at him now, her eyes large and dark. "Just… to rest in peace."
You died, all those long weeks ago.
When it happened, I just wished that it would not be so.
You never thought to be with me; you always made me go.
I'm scared, ashamed of what I feel.
I can't tell the ones I love; you know they couldn't deal.
A whisper in the dead man's ear, that doesn't make it real.
That's great, but I don't want to play.
Being near you touches me, more than I can say.
But in my mind, I worry you'll just tell me "stay away".
Then I can't rest in peace.
Want to rest in peace; want to get some sleep;
Want to take my mind and shut in a pine box six foot deep.
Then lay my body down, and maybe find my sweet release.
But I can't rest in peace.
You know, you know that you're brave,
But when I want to rest, my mind tells me to misbehave.
And 'til it stops, I'm scared you'll say,
"Shoulda left me in my grave,
And let me rest in peace!"
I know you might want to go,
But I'll follow you like a girl possessed.
There's a traitor here beneath my breast,
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed.
My heart's every beat's bound to break my chest.
But I can see you're unimpressed.
Wish you'd help me…
Help me rest in peace; help me get some sleep.
Help me calm my mind and bury it in a hole six foot deep.
Though I lay myself right down, my mind denies me sweet release.
Help me rest in peace…
Please, Jayne Cobb, help me rest in peace.
Zoe sat watch in the cockpit, in her late husband's old seat. Though River was their pilot now, and though Zoe had long since accepted Wash's death, sometimes she still found it difficult to be here.
In the years since Wash's passing, Zoe had tried to date. Being the first mate of Serenity, and being what her man had called a "warrior woman", though, tended to scare potential partners. None of the men they'd met in their travels over the past three years had been worthy of her.
Or maybe it's that none of them were Wash. Never could be.
Does anybody even notice?
Does anybody even care?
Kaylee woke slowly, sluggishly. She wasn't in her hammock. Why wasn't she in her hammock? Why wasn't she with Georgie?
Her vision cleared. She was in a warehouse or something; boxes and drums and parts were strewn across the floor. "Cap'n..?" she murmured.
"No," said a voice. "Just me."
Kaylee saw a tall, androgynous-looking person in a shiny blue suit and a frightful devil mask step into her field of vision. She tried to struggle, but found herself bound to the wall by her wrists.
"Help," she moaned. "Help me!"
"Sorry," said the person. "There's no help for you today."
Why'd you want to run? Don't you like my… style?
Shouldn't this be fun? Try it and I will guarantee… a smile.
I come from the imagination,
Like a horror story's misguided invocation.
So, what do you say? Why don't we… dance a while?
(Devil releases Kaylee from her bonds.)
I'm the hottest thing; I'm the twist and shout.
I'm the one who lets everyone sing their feelings out.
You need the truth; I will come a'runnin'.
I'll turn the music on; I'll bring the fun in.
We'll be partying; that's what it's all about.
'Cause I know… what you need… girl.
I know… just what you need… girl.
Kaylee (spoken)
So… you're not gonna kill me then? 'Cause, I'm all about the living over here.
All these melodies, they go on too long,
And then the truth, it comes on way too strong.
All those hearts lay open; that must sting.
Plus, some people might just make with the shooting.
That's the penalty when life is full of song.
They brought me home and doomed this dome,
And soon we'll blow this scene.
Hit the black; I'll take you back,
And make you my queen!
'Cause I know… what you feel… girl.
No, you see, you and me, wouldn't be very regal.
I'll make it real, girl!
But I'm just an engineer so we'd never be equal.
I can bring whole planets to ruin,
And still have time to get a soft-shoe in.
That's great, but if we wait, my captain might use obscenity—
Something's cookin'; I'm at the griddle.
Let Londinium burn; I'll have my fiddle.
He'll get pissed if I'm missed; my ship is Serenity—
Devil (spoken, to henchmen who suddenly appear)
Find them… tell them… tell them everything! Just get them here! (quietly) I want to see them burn…
(singing again)
Now we're partying…
That's what it's all about.
"What is it, mei-mei?"
River hopped up on the diagnostic bed and turned her head to Simon's worktable. "I need an implant."
He turned, concerned. "An implant? What… what kind of—"
"What?" He was at her side in an instant, her hand held in both of his. "River, who—"
"That's not your business," she said. "Will you do it or not?" At his worried expression, she spoke more gently. "Simon… you can't protect me forever. Sooner or later, I have to grow up."
He held her eyes for a long moment. She had a feeling…
Yup. More singing.
You're not ready for the world outside.
You keep pretending, but you just can't hide.
I know that I said I'd be standing by your side,
But I…
You're now a reader; you know what I feel.
You know you've been made to fight and steal,
Memories that others would rather not reveal,
And I…
I wish I could say the right words to lead you through this verse,
Wish I could be the brother who freed you from this curse,
Wish I could save you from this before it gets any worse,
'Stead of standing… in the way.
The cries around you, know you hear them all.
Wish I could help to take that call,
And save you from them all when you can't just stand tall.
But I…
I wish I could calm your mind down, and let you rest at last.
Wish I could slay your demons, but my work just won't last.
Wish I could stay forever, your stalwart standing fast,
'Stead of standing… in the way.
I'm just standing… in the way.
ELEVEN: Under Your Spell / Standing (reprise)
When River needed to quiet her mind, she went to Inara's shuttle. The companion had the most relaxed sense-of-self of anyone on the ship, and her thoughts were always ordered. Except when Mal's around, of course.
So now she sat with the tall, elegant woman, both in a lotus position, their breathing synchronized. River didn't know what Inara was thinking about, but River… River wasn't meditating.
She was reading. She was stretching out her mind, trying to find Kaylee, who'd gone missing a few hours ago.
Where are you, big sister?
Her eyes snapped open.
Oh… so that's what happened.
She's under your spell.
However can this be?
You're playing with her memory.
You know she's been through hell;
Come now, don't you see — the heart that you will break, it will be
The one you deceive—
I swear I don't want you to go—
And it'll grieve me 'cause I love her so,
But we both know…
(Simon) Wish I could say the right words and lead you through this verse—
(River) Wish I could trust that it was just this once but—
(Simon) Wish I could be the brother who helps you break this curse—
(River) I must do what I must; she will just be filled with disgust; I just—
Wish I could stay…
Wish I could stay…
Wish I could stay…
Wish I could… stay…
Jayne found River in his bunk, strapping sheathed knives to her thighs. "What the hell you doin', girl?"
"I'm going to save Kaylee," she said.
"You know where she is?" Jayne buckled on a holster and checked to make sure he had his big blade. "Then I'm goin' with you!"
River put her hand on Jayne's chest and he stilled. "No, Jayne. You can't."
"Why not?"
"Because…" She sighed and stared up at him. "Because I don't want to lose you again."
"That's… that's crazy!" he spluttered. "You won't lose me, River." But she was already scrambling up the ladder.
She'll touch the fire, but she won't touch me.
Why does my heart suddenly feel black?
Why won't she feel?
Why can't she treat me real?
I want the fire back.
(begins arming himself)
Now through the smoke, she calls to me,
And I'll save Kaylee from the pain.
I'll save the day…
…or maybe melt away.
I guess it's all the same.
And so I'll walk through the fire.
And River, then she'll learn,
That I will walk through the fire,
And let it—
The torch I bear is scorching me,
And Jayne, he wants me, I've no doubt.
But it's not right; my mind won't see the light.
I've got to let him down.
'Cause they are drawn to the fire;
Those people never learn.
Devil and River
And they will walk through the fire, and let it—
Will this do a thing to change her?
Is my sister still in danger?
Or is she just too far gone to care?
What if this crew can't defeat it?
The lady's wrong; we've got what's needed.
So let's get our asses to the lair.
Mal, Zoe, Simon, Jayne, Book, and Inara
We'll see it through; it's what we're always here to do,
So we will walk through the fire—
Though I'm alone, I'll turn and see
My friends putting themselves on the line—
Kaylee, in the Devil's lair
What can't we face?
But in the end, it's my mind that's not fine—
If we're together?
And they just can't be told.
Entire crew, as noted below
(River) He came from the grave much graver—
(Devil) So the whole crew, they come to me…
(Jayne) If she's hurt, they'll meet their maker—
(Devil) The distant crying is their guide…
(Zoe) Why are my feelings turning so dark?
(Jayne) Going through the motions—
(Devil) —ain't what they had in mind.
Ensemble continues
(Jayne) First save Kaylee; then help River—
(Book) I think this line's mostly filler.
(Simon) Got to save my sister from the dark—
(Jayne) These endless days end when I go out in a blaze—
(Devil) They will come to me!
Entire crew
And we are caught in the fire,
The point of no return.
So we will walk through the fire,
And let it burn…
Let it burn…
Let it burn…
Let it burn!
THIRTEEN: Something to Sing About
River drew her knives and faced off with the Devilish-looking creature. River knew the Devil's name, but if she used it, she knew it would hurt Kaylee.
That was the last thing River wanted for her big sister.
"Let her go," River said. "Let her go, and end this."
The Devil drew a long sword and moved into a fencing stance. "I think perhaps not," it said. "If you want her, you'll have to go through me."
River shifted into a cat-like ready position.
"River, be careful—"
"It's okay, Kaylee." She smiled. "No power in the 'verse can stop me."
Life's a show, and we all play our parts,
And when the music starts,
We open up our hearts.
It's all right if some things come out wrong,
We'll sing a happy song,
And you can sing along.
Where there's life, there's hope.
Every day's a gift.
Wishes can come true.
Whistle while you work,
So hard all day—
To dream like other girls,
And fit in in this glittering world.
Don't give me songs…
Don't give me songs…
Give me something to sing about.
I need something to sing about.
Jayne, watching River fighting the Devil
Life's a song; you don't get to rehearse,
And every single verse,
Can make it that much worse
(goes to Kaylee, releasing her from her bonds)
Still my crew don't know why I ignore
The million things or more
They say I should sing for—
All the joy life sends,
The crew; we're all your friends.
All the twists and bends,
Knowing that it ends
But that depends—
(looking directly at Simon)
On if they let you go.
On if they know enough to know
That when you've bowed,
You leave the crowd.
River (has the Devil at a disadvantage, turns to Jayne, reading him)
There was no pain.
No fear, no doubt.
'Til they pulled you out of heaven.
So that's my refrain.
I'm here in hell
Since I was expelled from heaven.
I think I was in heaven.
Jayne and River
So give me something to sing about…
Please, give me something!
(The music speeds up, and River begins dancing wildly while the crew apprehends the Devil… except for Jayne, who just sits on a crate, stunned. Kaylee rips the mask off, sees that Georgie is the Devil, and gasps. The music stops, and River walks slowly to Jayne.)
Life's not a song.
Life isn't bliss.
Life is just this: it's living.
Kaylee (to Georgie)
You did it wrong.
The pain I now feel
I only can heal by living.
I have to go on living.
Like all of us are living.
Book (spoken)
The hardest thing in this world… is to live in it.
FOURTEEN: What You Feel (Reprise)
Kaylee grabbed the gun from Mal's holster and shoved the barrel up under Georgie's chin. "Give me one reason why I shouldn't decorate this room with your damn brains!"
"Kaylee," Mal said, reaching for her shoulder.
She shook him off. Her face was hot, eyes wet with tears. "Why? I love you, Georgie; why do this to me?"
Georgie reached up and cupped Kaylee's cheek. "I do love you," she said.
Then she stared at the others. "But your crew… they'll never understand."
River looked up from where she was sitting with Jayne. "Try us," she said. "You never know."
Started just having fun, but things went so swell.
Now there's not a one, who'll think that it could end well.
'Course, you won't say it, you'll keep concealing,
I'll tell the truth now — once more, with feeling.
Kaylee, I love you; you've got me under your spell…
FIFTEEN: Where Do We Go From Here
"You… you did all this… for me?"
Georgie nodded. "I love you, Kaylee. I've loved you since the day I saw you. But they'll keep us apart."
"Hell, no, we won't," Zoe said, taking the gun from Kaylee. "You're an idiot, Georgie, but last year you proved that you're not all bad."
"Zoe—" Mal started to say.
"No, sir. You won't get in the way." Then she grinned. "And, while you're at it, will you and Inara just make it official already!"
"Zoe!" Inara blushed hard.
"Gotta admit," Mal said, "it really is about time."
Somehow, Inara went even redder.
Where do we go from here?
Jayne and River
Where do we go from here?
The battle's done, and we kind of won—
Mal and Zoe
Should we sound our victory cheer?
Where do we go from here?
Jayne and River
Why is the path unclear?
When the answer's so near?
Understand we'll go hand-in-hand.
So why walk alone in fear?
Tell me—
Where do we go from here?
(brief musical interlude)
When does the end appear?
When do the trumpets cheer?
The curtains close on a kiss, we know;
We can tell the end is near.
Where do we go from here?
Georgie had been forgiven, even been accepted into the crew somehow, and she and Kaylee were together. Mal… well, Mal was probably in Inara's shuttle.
But I'm still alone. Alone and soulless.
Jayne pulled off his shirt and threw it in the laundry pile. Might as well go to bed.
Just then, he heard someone open his door. He didn't look — didn't want to think he might be wrong, didn't want to hope he could be right.
A white sundress landed in his laundry pile. A small, cool hand touched his bare shoulder.
He turned to River and smiled.
I touch the fire and it freezes me—
I died—
But when I'm with you, nothing's black—
And with that also lost my soul—
(River) Can this be real? Can you make me feel?
(Jayne) I just want to feel.
(Jayne and River kiss)
Where do we go from here?
"I love that episode," Willow said.
"I know." Tara turned her face up to Willow's and kissed her. After, she said, "I remember when it aired that we thought it would be terrible."
"Yeah, really." Willow turned off the television and set the remote on the nightstand. "But they did a really good job with it." She reached for Tara, taking her into her arms. "I wonder if Dollhouse will do one."
"Can you imagine?" Tara said. "How could they even make that plausible?"
"Oh, I could think of a few ways—"
Tara turned off the light.
Well, that didn't go at all how I planned.
I wanted Jayne to be in the Spike role, and River in the Buffy role, but I couldn't pull it off. Plus, the way I set up Kaylee and Georgie made it hard for me give River the "positive" lines in "Something to Sing About" — only Kaylee could've nailed those, as everyone else was too cynical. Finally, I was a little disappointed that I couldn't spend as much time on Jayne's religious beliefs, but when you only have 1600 words and have to give enough story to justify the lyrics, you have to do the best you can.
Why did I make Georgie play the "Sweet" role? I realize the motivation was kind of thin — she wanted the crew to hate each other by revealing their innermost feelings — and then swoop in to save Kaylee — but that certainly backfired, didn't it?
In writing this as a drabble-fic (every chapter is only 100 words — you can count them if you want — plus the song lyrics), I didn't have space to explain the science, but Georgie used the New Enemy's medical technology to create mass hypnosis in the domed city where Serenity had landed.
And, before you ask — I will not be writing a Dollhouse musical episode, no matter how much Willow speculates about it.
The next part of this story will be a more direct sequel (which I've already outlined but haven't started writing yet), but I just felt that, after teasing the Firefly musical for 20 chapters, I couldn't not pay it off. I hope you enjoyed it, and whether you did or didn't, please review or e-mail; I'd love to hear what you thought. And, as always, thanks for reading.

In Re: bijan sabet on Some thoughts about Siri →
Bijan attributes new feature of iOS Notifications to Siri
Siri plus geofencing is killer. I use Siri in the car. My common use is "remind me to xyz when I get home".
One example: the other night, Lauren and I were out for dinner on a date. Kids were at home with the babysitter. My daughter called me and told me she lost her tooth. I was in the car when the call came. When I got off the phone, I said to Siri: "remind me to put $5 under ellie's pillow when I get home".
After dinner, we saw a movie and I forgot about the tooth (i know, bad dad). The moment I walked into the house, i got a push notification with the reminder. Fucking magical.
But I did that the other day without Siri. I created a notification on iOS 5, to remind me to pick up a torx driver when I was near the hardware store, and the next day I was pinged as I walked by the store. As Bijan says, magical, but not because of Siri. Yes, it's slightly easier to merely say it instead of typing it, but the magic is iOS 5.

Yet, in the digital era we live in, we are losing hold of the few sacred spaces that remain untouched by email, the Internet, people, and other forms of distraction. Our cars now have mobile phone integration and a thousand satellite radio stations. When walking from one place to another, we have our devices streaming data from dozens of sources. Even at our bedside, we now have our iPads with heaps of digital apps and the world's information at our fingertips.
I do my best deep thinking in the early morning, just as I am waking, in that halfway zone between awake and aware.

Part of this depends upon the technical savvy of the folks you are trying
to communicatew with. And there is prolly alot of confusion with various
rating methods in place depending upon whence one seeks such info, nessus
I think uses params much like you state here, I think mitre.org uses
something a tad different, while SAN' weekly vulnerability assessments
look to rate much as you do here. I kinda like the SANS rating methid and
would suggest that might work as a template for you to go by.

Bone Mineral Density and Biochemical Markers of Bone Turnover During the First Year of Injury in Patients with Spinal Cord Injury
Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is associated with bonemass loss that can be complicated by fractures, which result in further disabilities for patients. After a SCI, the body starts losing large amounts of calciumand otherminerals inthe urine (demineralisation). This studyaimed to assess the changes in bonemineral density (BMD) during the 1st year of acute SCI in patients with neurological deficit. Methods: A total of 95 patients with acute SCI and neurological deficit were evaluated in this prospective study. Haematological investigations such as evaluation of serum calcium, serum phosphate, serum creatinine, and serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were carried out. Urinary investigations such as 24- hour urinary creatinine level and excretion of calcium and phosphate in the urine were measured. BMD was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan with Hologic QDR 2000 scanner (Explorer). All of the aforementioned parameters were measured again at 3, 6, and 12 months. Results: Serum ALP at 1-year follow up was significantly raised (p < 0.05). The BMD at 1-year follow up had statistically significant lower values than the initial BMD at the hip (p < 0.05), proximal tibia (p < 0.00l), and distal tibial epiphysis (p < 0.001). The BMD in motor-complete SCI patients [American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) grades A and B] had significant lower values than motor-incomplete SCI patients (ASIA C and D) at the hip (p < 0.05) and proximal tibial epiphysis (p < 0.05). Conclusion: There was a marked decrease in BMD in metaphyseal sites than below the neurological deficit level with maximum decrease at the proximal tibia during the 1st year of SCI. Although the markers of osteoblastic activity did not show much change, the decrease in BMD was influenced by the neurological recovery after SCI.

Bicipitoradial Bursitis: A Review of Clinical Presentation and Treatment
The bicipitoradial bursa lies at the insertion of the biceps tendon on the radial tuberosity. It is an unusual site for chronic bursitis and most often results from repetitive mechanical trauma or overuse. Other causes include tuberculosis, immunological complications of rheumatological disease and synovial chondromatosis. Accurate diagnosis requires imaging studies and sometimes histological study. It can be treated conservatively with aspiration and steroid injection. Surgical excision of the bursa is indicated in the case of infection cause, failed conservative treatment with recurrence of the enlarged bursa and pain after aspiration, presence of nerve compression with neurological impairment, mechanical limitation to flexion, and extension of the elbow or biceps tendon degeneration and/or functional impairment.

Yakima Universal Mighty Mount - Set of 4
Ok if no other options
The roof rack on my wife's Rogue does not have any Yakima specific mounts, so we ordered these. They do work, but as someone else already stated, they do not lock, so someone could remove the rack with whatever gear is attached.
