INT. HOUSE - BASEMENT

Four men in their mid 20's are all sitting on a couch playing xbox. Another man of the same age is in the background flipping through a cd case next to a stereo. There are many posters of "Firefly" on the walls. There are also two computers in the left corner of the room. The computers look like they are being used to make videogames. And a fridge in place as an end table.

The group does not look like a typical group of geeks with thick glasses and pocket protectors. They look like normal guys who were friends with everyone in high school and college. They are just wearing t-shirts and jeans and drinking bear.

From left to right on the couch there is Marian, Aaron, How(short for Howard), and Paul. The man searching through cds is Tyler. They are all in Aaron's house.

TYLER:(walking towards the couch) Man, your cd selection is horrible, you don't have a single Four Star Mary cd.

AARON: Of course I don't. You took them all to your house.

TYLER:(angry tone) No, I brought them back.

AARON:(serious tone) Obviously you didn't if they aren't in that case.

TYLER:(convincing) I swear to god I brought them back, I put them on your kitchen table.

AARON: Oh, then Marian, go get my cds.

MARIAN:(surprised and outraged) Why do I have to get them?

AARON:(annoyed) Don't argue with me, just get them.

Although MARIAN is three inches taller and atleast twenty pounds more then AARON, he goes up the stairs.

TYLER then jumps onto the couch and picks up MARIAN controller and starts playing.

CUT TO: TV SCREEN

In the middle of the screen, it says, "PRELUDE: SERENITY VALLEY".

CUT TO: INT. HOUSE - BASEMENT

AARON: Ok boys, our hard work for two years is now infront of us. Let's go kick some Alliance ass.

TYLER, PAUL, HOW:(synchronized) HOO HAW

CUT TO: TV SCREEN

The screen is split into four sections. In each section there is a 3rd person view of four different people.

The setting is set in Serenity Valley. The character in the top left(Aaron's screen) is that of Mal Reynolds. Above his character is his name. He is shooting at a trench full of Alliance soldiers. He is followed by a group of Brown Coats including Zoe Warren. Zoe's character is in the top right(Tyler's screen) corner of the screen. She is helping Mal's character kill the Alliance soldiers.

Also in the group are two Brown Coat soldiers that are of no significance. The soldier in the bottom right(How's screen) corner is running right into the trench when a grenade explodes below him and his body flies.

CUT TO: HOUSE - BASEMENT

HOW:(inraged) Shit, shit, shit, cock smoking fuck head. Who the hell threw that stupid fucking grenade?!

PAUL:(ashamed) Sorry man.

HOW: Dammit, I don't even play more then four seconds and I die.(shaking head in anger) I'm getting something to eat, you guys want anything?

TYLER, PAUL, AARON:(synchronized) Nah.

CUT TO: HOUSE - KITCHEN

HOW is entering the kitchen from the door leading down to the basement and heads immediently to the fridge. He comes upstairs to the fridge for food because the one in the basement is filled with beer.

HOW walks to the fridge and hears a ruffling sound. He looks around the corner of the fridge to see MARIAN searching for the Four Star Mary cds.

MARIAN:(happy) YES, I FOUND THE FUCKERS.

HOW laughs. MARIAN looks at him and just shrugs his shoulders and walks past HOW.

HOW takes a pause for a moment then drives his head into the fridge to find food. When he picks his head out and closes the door he starts walking to the door to the basement.(looking at HOW's face while walking towards camera) In the background is a piece of paper left on top of a burning candle...
