Final Fantasy - All Series Fan Fiction ❯ Deja Vu all over the place! ❯ Just Plane Stupid ( Chapter 10 )

After the second time Vincent tripped as they ran, Cid picked him up slung him over his shoulder as he kept running, not slowing him down at all.

The crew had stayed on the plane, and as soon as Cid got on, they started the engines and soon they were in the air.

But the chase was far from over.

* * * * * *

"Cid, are you sure about this?" one of his crewmates asked. "I mean, you stopped for them."

"Look, I know what I'm doing," Cid said, trying to whisper with a cigarette in his mouth and only managing to slur. "Just shut the fuck up or they'll think we're up to something."

"Look, they threatened to take my pilot's license away!"

"Temporarily, Cid!"

"Are you two quite finished?" Dr. Kaines asked, who had been standing two feet away for the last thirty minutes.

"In what sense?" Cid asked.

"Look, I already have three people to babysit, so I'm going to ignore you two and-"

"Sir!" Steve said, followed by Carl, who was half-covered in oil and Lenny, who was very dusty and sneezing constantly.

"Goddamnit, I just fixed that!" Cid yelled.

Dr. Kaines crossed his arms. "Yes?"

"We couldn't find anything."

Lenny sneezed, spraying dust everywhere.

"Okay… I'm going to be nice and not ask what the hell happened. I'm not going to ask hey it took you so long to search an airship."

"Thanks," Lenny said, then sneezed.

"Shut up!" Dr, Kaines yelled. "Why is it so hard to find one stupid alien? It's not even like it's a small alien!"

"I thought it was a UFO," Lenny said.

"Would you leave UFOs out of it!" Steve said.

"Maybe it flew off," Carl said.

"It can't fly!" Dr. Kaines said.

"But it's a UFO, of course it can fly."

"It's not a UFO!" Carl said.

"But if it flew off and we don't know what it is, of course it's a UFO."

"We don't know it flew off," Steve said.

"But we don't know it didn't fly off," Carl pointed out.

"Oh, for Chrissakes!" Dr, Kaines said, burying in head in his hands.

"Hey is this going to wrap up soon or can I get a beer?" Cid asked.

"So is it a UFO or not?" Lenny asked, this time sneezing first.

"The question is: Can you have a non-flying UFO?"

"It's not a UFO," Steve said.

"Perhaps not, but is it possible for a UFO not to fly?"

"THAT'S IT!" Dr. Kaines yelled. "You three! You get me that alien and I mean now! I don't care where it is, I don't care what it is, and I don't care what it's doing, and that includes flying!"

Again, Dr, Kaines put his head in his hands.

"Why aren't you going anywhere?"

Lenny sneezed.

"We already looked everywhere, sir," Steve said.

"I still think it flew off," Carl said.

"Not this again!" Dr. Kaines yelled. "Did you check the stable? Thoroughly?"

"Yes," Steve answered.

"The bedrooms?"

"Got stuck checking under one," Lenny said. "All we found were some women's underwear. We don't think they'd fit the alien." Lenny decided to keep the five hundred and eighty six gil he'd found to himself.

"Hey! You'd better not have gone through my stuff!" Cid yelled.

"What about the bathroom?"

"Shouldn't you have done that before you left, sir?" Lenny asked.

"Down the hallway and take a left," Carl said.

"I already went," Steve said.

"Did you search them, you morons! Did you search them?"

"Sorta," Steve said.

"Sorta… What the hell does 'sorta' mean? Sorta like Midgar is sorta destroyed or sorta like you are sorta annoying?" Dr. Kaines asked.

"I used it while Lenny was stuck under the bed. No one was in there while I was there."

"There is a women's bathroom on this ship!"

"Sir, are you feeling well?" Lenny asked.

"Just go. Search it right now."

"But I thought it was a male alien," Carl said.

"GO!"

The three flunkies left, exchanging confused looks for other confused looks.

"Hey you," Cid said.

"Yes, what is it?"

"Can I use the bathroom?"
