Epilogue

"Transport ship designation Clear Call you are cleared for docking port nine." The voice that came over the wave was familiar and they all grinned. "Now ya'll behave yersels whilst yer here. Took three days to mop up the mess you left last time."

"Ain't our fault the young bucks think the way to prove they're men is to take us on," Riddick retorted. "An' treatin' our women like they were silly dolls is the surest way to get their pì gus kicked and kicked hard. The women are just as much Furyan as me and Jayne."

"They've been warned," Mattie's voice was even more amused. "They just didn't think your women could possibly be Furyan, or able to hold their own against them."

"Well anyone needs more sense knocked into their skulls you know where we'll be," Jayne laughed from the doorway of the bridge. "Rick, Jack says first order of business is that well pump."

"That's the third time…" Riddick shook his head and River giggled.

"She reminds you to mess with your head," She grinned at him.

"We've got folks ready to get you unloaded the minute your passengers disembark," Mattie informed them. "We'll see ya'll at the cèilidh tomorra if Ma an' Da don't ambush you out at the ranch." The wave shut off and Riddick rolled his eyes.

"Went from being alone in the 'verse except for you three to having more gorram family than I know what to do with," He groused humorously.

"Least Mal an' Serenity ain't here this time," Jayne reminded him. "Though him threatenin' to leave Simon at the docks was gorram funny."

"My Jayne…" River pointed out the windows of the bridge to a familiar looking silhouette. "They are bringing cargo and passengers as well." She tilted her head, "But Simon is not with them. Left on Persephone. Kaylee has had enough of his attitude and Jayne's brother Leigh made plain that he finds her wonderful. Began courting behavior, competing with Simon. Made Simon look very much like Simon, no rose-colored glasses. Flaws and faults cannot be made up for with pretty manners and a handsome face."

Jayne groaned, "Gao yang jong duh goo yang. You mean I'm gonna have to put up with Mal alla the time?"

"Worse things in the 'verse," River told him unsympathetically as the ship touched dirt.

"Yeah," Jayne shook his head. "Leastways they won't be out at the ranch."

"Uhmm… Jayne…" River's voice followed him out the door in a tone that indicated that assumption was erroneous.

Her bàng jiār's curse floated up the stairs at that and Riddick just laughed.

Author's Note: Well that is all folks. I hope you enjoyed it. I've got another fic that I need to polish up a bit before I start posting it, so I don't know if I'll get it finished before 'As the Night the Day' is finished posting.

This was mostly meant to tie up a few lose ends, indicate that just because they found Furya doesn't mean they're settling down. Now they just have a home to go to when they want to recharge between jobs.
