I know this a lot to read, but bear with me. I have no life currently. =( I want everyone's opnions on this one. What to add, what to change, what to do to make it more interesting. YOU tell ME how you want htis plot to go. 
Ok, because of all the kidnapping on Ezra, Mal couldn't find a new job for the crew. Well, as they are going along in the verse and talking one night about what to do for a job, Bella pipes up. Back home in Londinum, it's getting close to the coming out ball that is supposed to be for her put on by her grandmother. Her grandmother is hoping she will come home from “Bella‘s misguided teen adventures and return to society” as she calls it, still plans on having the ball. The cook, and Bella’s friend, Betty, tells her this, yet isn't sure if Bella will; Betty has some of Bella's things that Bella would like to have and Betty thinks Bella showing up for the ball would be a good way for a distraction so Betty can sneak the things out of the house and Bella can really leave for good. But within that plan, Bella works out another job for the crew.
The crew could go in and steal some money form the safe that Bella knows the code for. At the same time, Vincent, River, and Alora(if we still plan on taking her on) goes into her grandfather’s library. It remains untouched by anyone, so everything is in place. Breaking into a cabinet, they could grab the files on the Academy and Miranda for Simon to look over.
And while this is going on, Bella appears at the ball slightly late. She has on her favorite dress that she took with her and never got to wear. She has some jewels that were rightful hers, so she is able to dress it up. But she has a surprise twist for her grandmother. She has Daniel pretend they are married and has him come! They come in and have Simon and Inara pretending to be his parents. What a shock to the society. But as they are about to leave, Alec, who is serving food, comes out and tries to talk to Bella-woo her away from Daniel to get her to stay. He knows she is leaving, but thinks she is actually married. This is the well played out par tof Betty-so no one knows the actual truth. Not even Alec. A scene is caused between the three of them and her grandmother comes out, catching them leaving. They get out, but narrowly and ride Bella’s old horse out to where they are meeting Betty and everyone else at the ship. One of the people working that night, Sylar, whom Alec had brought back having bumped into him floating in his ship in space, and help Bella and Daniel escape, hoping for a ride back out of town. Bella and Betty have their goodbyes at the ship and they are off again.
The following is Bella’s possible speech to the crew. It may not go down like this, but it’s just a taste of how I’d role play it out if we do this.

Bella walked into the kitchen with a mission on her mind. She had been talking to Betty since she was back on Ezra and was formulating a plan to go see her. Serenity had no job, but she was going to have one for them. “Hey, HEY! Can you all be quit and listen.” They all quieted down and Bella took a deep breath. “I have a job for you.” Mal gave her an apprehensive look as she moved to behind the chair directly across from him.
“I’ve been thinking of this for awhile, so let me speak my peace. Though this was before coming here. I justed needed someone to work with.
Now, I left my grandmother’s home awhile back, looking to never return. Well, my grandmother seems to think otherwise. My coming out ball is a week from today and she plans on having it, thinking I will be coming back. She is bragging to Betty and the rest of the staff that I will realize how much I miss society and be back. And I plan on going-with Daniel as my husband.” Mal gave her a funny looking, like to speak in anger and confusion, Daniel falling out of his chair and a “what?” from the group but she waved her hand.
“When we show up, Mal, you, Zoe and Jayne will be grabbing the money form the safe. She keeps all her cashy money there, not trusting banks. There is a about $3,000 there that I know of that isn’t marked. She keeps it in a separate bag form the rest, which is marked. That will be enough for food, supplies, fuel for a few trips and any repairs needed. While that is going on,” Bella took a small key from her charm bracelet and tossed it to Vincent. “You, River, and Alora will break into my grandfather’s library and go the cabinet in there.” Bella looked at River and then to Simon. “My grandfather made copies of everything and the Alliance never knew. They never went into the library to see if there was anything. Maybe-maybe it can help you out.”
They were intently listening and Bella felt her nerves wash away. “Me and Daniel will go in pretending to be married. Betty will meet us a day before, with some money and the layout of the house for you guys to look over. Meanwhile, she’s going to take me and Daniel a town over to buy some wedding rings form the pawn shop. The staff has been saving money for me, so that money will be used for those. That town over, no one knows me, so we can get along. Then her, Kaylee and Inara, if they will, can help me get ready-my dress, hair and make-up. I have a dress that I took. I never got to wear it, but it was tailored for me. It will be perfect. We will show up and rock that ball with the news. We will need someone who knows about the Alliance society to be their parents. My grandmother will demand to talk to them. Nothing against you Kaylee, we just need someone who knows the customs. I was thinking that maybe Simon and Inara could help me with that part. Inara being a companion and Simon growing up on teh core, we could get this by. And we can help Daniel with learning the customs. After, Jacob, one of the butlers, will give the signal. Betty on the other hand will grab some small things and other clothing I’ve wanted and meet us over at Serenity. If all goes well, we should be in and out with no problems. I still remember all the codes, so we will have no problem with security. Everyone on staff is delighted to help with this, as they love to see my grandmother mad. After, I will leave her behind for good.”
