River was excited that Zoë and Wash had trusted her enough to babysit the triplets. This was the first time that anyone in the crew had trusted to do anything besides being the resident crazy person. Finally River’s greatest wish to be treated like a regular teenage girl was coming true, she got to babysit. River knew that the real reason why Zoë and Wash had asked her was because they where desperate and there was no one else.

River opened the door to the triplet’s room. It looked like something had exploded in the room. Somehow the boys had taken both mattresses off the bunk beds and put them on the floor. Mally was doing a swan dive off the top bunk and landed on his brother. Amina was jumping up and down on her bed while painting a picture on the wall. River backed up a bit. A thousand and one things ran through her head as she watched the children in their mayhem.

“Chaos. Total chaos. 206 bones in the body. 618 bones can break. 1000 places to fall to your death on Serenity. 4 in the room. 1758 things that can get lounged in the throat, causing choking. 300 in the room. 8456 sharp objects on Serenity. Hundreds in the room. 500 poisons on Serenity…3 in the room. Sarah, Phoebe, Rita, Chloe, Debra, and Vera. Jayne had 25 guns and Mally loved them all. Engine parts thrown about, engine breaking, Serenity crashing into a moon...Gabe’s favorite place. Covered in paint and sticky…Amina. Tied to a railing gagged and bond. Tarred and feathered. Lanzhou Job. Hide and seek….”

River quickly turned around to run, but she bumped into Zoë. “River here’s a list…” River snatched the list from Zoë’s hand and tore it up throwing the pieces in the air.

“River?” Zoë looked at her funny.

“Babysitting is problematic.” River quickly ran away from Zoë.
