Disclaimer: If I owned Final Fantasy VII, this fanfiction wouldn't be possible. Thank you, Square-Enix.

Notes: I'm feeling nice today (probably getting 8 reviews last time and the flood of reviews for "Ask Sephiroth"), so you get to find out what happened to Yoshoko and Dominic. See? I'm not completely evil.

Aerithism

Seventeen: What ever happened to…?

Red eyes slowly opened to be flooded with green light. Shutting his eyes, Dominic tried to focus his attention on his numb body. He could make out something touching his face around his mouth and nose. He slowly moved his hand upwards and touched the device. A breathing device?

His eyes slowly opened again, but he was unable to see his surroundings. He reached a hand forward timidly and felt cold glass. A tube? Why am I suffering déjà vu? He balled his hand into a fist and thrust forward.

A white-brown blur jumped at the noise and moved towards the tube. "Wow… And here I thought you'd never get up." Jeanne? No… that isn't her voice…

The blur rose what Dominic assumed was a hand, and touched something grey. The brunet felt himself fall into a fetal position. "I wouldn't try to get up anytime soon… Problem with being in a mako tube for six years." Six years? In a tube? Oh, gods…

Blinking, he felt the green liquid tear from his eyes. He could see the lab coat his sibling wore. A lab coat that lacked a midsection. And so did the girl wearing it. "Wha-who-how?"

"Let's see… You were shot. I saved you. My name is Jessie… Can't say why."

Another one? Not just Bugenhagen and Lucrecia, but this girl, Jessie also? How many are there?

Dominic tilted his head and looked towards a table. A toy was lying on its stomach, its back open. "Cait… Sith?"

The girl tilted her head to follow his eyes. "Oh, that… Found it in Midgar. You wouldn't happen to know what happened to that place, would you? Looks like it's been through hell."

"Shouldn't you take your medicine?"

The girl frowned. "Why? Am I sick?" An alarm sounded, echoing through the basement. "Weird… I wonder what triggered the lasers this time."

Oh, yes… You're definitely not well.

Azrael curled herself on the couch. "Stupid girl body…"

The young brunette carried tea into the living room. "Think of it as karma… Here, drink up."

The silver-haired teen glanced at the drink. "… I like oolong tea more than green tea."

Heiress smiled slightly. "Well, people in hell want ice water."

"Have you ever been to hell?"

"… No?"

Inhaling the scent, the younger girl asked, "Then, how can you know that people in hell do not get ice water?"

I don't know why I even try anymore.

The orange-haired pirate captain smirked at the Wutain ex-priestess. "Good night, Yoshoko. Good work. Sleep well… I'll most likely kill you in the morning," he said as he closed the airship's cabin door on the young lady.

He's been saying that every night… For how long?

The brunette fell onto the bed. "Funny… Who'd have thought I would have ended up back on Sierra?"

On a nightstand, a bottle of motion sickness pills lay. Yoshoko never had a problem with travel thanks to modern medicines. I love the future.

Feel free to write a review. Or flame me, whatever.

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to change to updating this and "I'm Sixteen in my Head" to every other day because of all the questions for "Ask Sephiroth."
