This Story was never intended to go for more than seven chaps okies? Basically I've decided "Skits 'n stuff" was a starting point for my writing of FanFiction this is a sort of, a journey of discovery for six female Genomes, including Mikoto, they're just coming out of Garlands brain washing techniques and are showing curiosity towards the world, Mikoto who has been trying to get the Genomes to realize that they're free for a while, is pretty happy . . .

There might be a sequel but . . . that's for later

~ is location

* Is an action

And thinking is ( ) in brackets

And A/N is authors note

A/N the other Genomes have a odd way of speaking they call sleeping "hibernation" and lunch "the second timed meal of the day", for a while they refer to their selves as "we" and are reluctant to talk, they also occasionally finish each others sentences too, so don't worry if it sounds a little odd, Oh and the Genomes have divided they're selves into "male" and "female" seemingly at random . . .

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*

It was daytime in the Black Mage Village, and a small group of female Genomes were clustered around a table in one of the crude huts. Which Mikoto slept in, they had come to her as a group and seemingly, had a mission.

Mikoto: is there a reason you have gathered to meet me?

4#: yes

1#: we feel like there is more to learn out there, in Gaia, things that Garland did not show us, freedom is one of them, but now that we are in a whole new world we would like to know more of its history, and the history of this planets creatures and . . . the people that inhabit it, in particular the city of Lindblaum as it is a center for culture.

6#: I agree

3#: I too

4#: and I

5#: me too!

2#: do not forget me

Mikoto: (what? I have been trying for so long to get them, the Genomes, to show . . . an interest in the world around them, and now, they come to me and ask to see Gaia? What happened?) All right then, I will arrange for transport with some help from my "brother", but why are you all of a sudden taking interest in the world?

1#: . . .

2#: it is hard to explain, we just, woke up from hibernation this morning and we . . . just . .

6#: . . . felt, like, I suppose you could say like we had, just surfaced from a pool of water, and for the first time were breathing fresh air

5#: . . . I cannot explain what we felt . . .

3#: . . .

Mikoto: I see . . . (what are they talking about? Will this happen to the rest of the Genomes? Why are only the females affected?)

1#: we also would like a title

Mikoto: pardon?

2#: a name, we realize that in Gaia it is customary to have a name, and being referred to as numbers may makes us stand out

Mikoto: well, if you feel like it, yes but it is what you will be addressed for as long as you live, you cannot change it on a whim, and you would have to chose female names

1#: well we have given it some thought, and have chosen names of famous women, as we are female

Mikoto: (famous women?)

1#: I would like to be addressed as . . . Rose because the name Rose is graceful and elegant

Mikoto: (how long have they spent looking around for names? I don't remember any of them asking . . .)

4#: Selfie, she was a young girl who changed the world with her ideas

5#: I chose Tiffany, she persevered through hard times even though she lost everything she once loved . . .

3#: Rosa, she was the best white mage ever!

Mikoto: (Tiffany? Rosa? Selfie? Who are those people?)

2#: Lilandria, she was a female ninja who never deviated from her job

6#: Faris, because she was a pirate!

Mikoto: . . . all right then, are you sure you want those names?

Selfie: yes

Mikoto: I shall, ask my "brother" for use of the Invincible, when do you wish to leave?

Rose: as soon as possible

Mikoto: ok, by tomorrow morning he should have replied

Lilandria: thank you for granting us this opportunity

*They go there separate ways around the village to do whatever they want to do, as they have no jobs as such, although Lilandria does help out in the item shop from time to time*

~In Mikoto's hut~

'Dear Zidane

As you know I have been trying to convince the Genomes to become individuals to develop personality for some time now, you might remember in my last letter I stated that the genomes who 'are' female have been more receptive towards my ideas, well this morning a group of them came up to me in my hut, since we have expanded the village to have more houses for the Genomes personal space and I have my own hut . . .'

She paused and looked around the walls of her hut, there was a bed, a small wardrobe and a board of wood hammered onto one of the walls with a few sheets of paper hanging on having been also nailed on with what Mr. 28 called "thumb tacks". Her gaze roamed over the board stopping on a small picture of her, Kuja, Zidane the inhabitants of Black mage Village, after defeating Necron Zidane staggered into the Black Mage Village with Kuja, after resting for a few months he got an artist to draw that picture "something to remember . . ." he said, she looked a bit closer at it, Zidane looked pretty happy, Kuja looked ruffled and slightly annoyed and she looked confused as to why Zidane wanted a picture . . . and now she heard that Kuja had settled down and got married with a woman named Lavender and had a daughter K'arnder, who would have expected it? Mikoto looked around and realized she had been sitting remising for nearly 10 minutes, so she got back to work on the letter

' . . .I still have that picture that artist drew by the way, anyway they came up to me and asked to go to Lindblaum so can I borrow the invincible from you for a week or so?

Mikoto'

Mikoto proof read the letter, arranged the names in alphabetical order, added her signature the one with all the curvy letters, then she gave it to Mogyro to deliver, and then she went and played cards with Mr. 28 till lunch, he was very good and was ever thinking of entering Treno's card tournament.
