Room 308, Thursday Evening

[enginegirl]

Kaylee was in her room, glancing at the gift River left her. She was trying very hard not to open it before Christmas. In the meantime, she was looking over her notes for the Constant Vigilance final. She really didn't want to fail.

"I gotta go," Joxer said. "Or else who knows what they'll do to me." He hugged her tighter. "I still love you, though. And I'll never forget you."

"I love you, too, and always will," Kaylee said, sniffling. "I could never forget you."

Joxer pulled back, a few tears wetting his cheeks. He leant in to give Kaylee one last, final kiss.

Kaylee leaned closer so Joxer could kiss her one last time. She was still sniffling woefully.

It wasn't Joxer's usual hormone-happy tonsil hockey sort of kiss. Just a tender press of the lips, his hand cupping Kaylee's chin as he kissed her.

He pulled back, and sniffled. "I don't want to say goodbye."

Kaylee looked down sadly. "I don't either."

Joxer paused, and dropped his head as he sniffled.

He turned around and headed for the door.

Kaylee ran over to hug him one last time.

"I'll miss you," she said tearfully. "I won't forget ya."

Joxer hugged her back, tightly. "I'll never forget you, either. And It's gonna hurt to be gone."

He sniffled.

"Goodbye, Kaylee."

"Goodbye Joxer," Kaylee whispered.

Joxer finally let go of the hug, and headed out the door.

Kaylee watched him leave and sighed sadly. Apparently, there was a power in the 'verse that could stop her from being cheerful.
