Firefly Festival: The Starting Line

Ash followed his enthusiastic daughter with a light bounce in his step. It was good t see her running around confidently in the presence of strangers, but it was a lot of work to keep up with her. Today, Ash wore only his bright shirt without the harness. At least if she got lost, she'd know what to look for. One day, he'd take her to that ship and let her choose something she wanted. For now, however, they wanted to see what they could get at this festival. With that in mind, Ash had told Sparrow where to find him after the race. He didn't want to leave empty handed and he was sure that between the two of them they could score some sort of reward, but not if they ran together. Ash would find her after the race. As long as they stuck with that agreement, they were ready.
