Summary: Ariadne has a couple of thoughts as Dom leaves the airport. Small One*shot, please review.

Author's Note: What the summary says. Dedications to Lobsters forever, again, hopefully this one won't be as bad as the last one. I only did certain scenes from the film. =]

Dom…

The tall, tough man takes a step and Ariadne smiles at him though he can't see it. Not even five minutes ago they had looked at each other on that plane. Their eyes peered at one another's and Dom looks away and all she does is frown, her eyes not looking away from him for a split second.

He takes another step and grabs his luggage. He looks at her and she notices a small glint in his eyes as he passes by her. She smiled once again at him. Not so long ago, he was confronting his wife, telling her he had to leave but she was determined to keep him there. Ariadne, who looked like they were about to jump for the kick, repeatedly told him she's not real and that he needs to get moving or he'll miss the kick.

Ariadne, seconds later when they get up, shoots Mal and she falls to the floor and Dom catches her. Tears flow from Mal's eyes and Ariadne has a small look of disgust in her eyes. Dom yells at her and she notices a small hint of disgust in his look as he does so.

He walks even further, halfway to the exit, when again not to long ago; they were in that snow dream. He picks her out of the group to follow him – she thought it was because their friendship had increased and because she knew stuff about him nobody else did – he knew the only reason he picked her was because she was the architect and he needed her for Limbo.

He walks a little quicker, his pacing off, and is nearly there. Ariadne thinks back to the hotel dream – "Quick give me a kiss," Arthur orders her quietly.

She obeys, "They're still looking at us."

"Yeah, but it was worth a shot." Arthur replies to her – Ariadne knows that she wishes that was Dom and rather not Arthur (even if his kisses were good).

He is even closer, a few steps away, when she remembers the first dream – they were in the warehouse, being shot at, when Dom says if we die here then we're stuck here. And Ariadne can't help but be mad at him.

He takes another quick step and Ariadne thinks to the dream the two of them had.

Everyone around them coming for her after she changes the dream to much, Dom tried to push them away but they easily got them both in their grip and then comes Mal, knife in hand, and stabbed her. She woke up and Arthur tells her it's alright and just a dream. She unhooked herself from the machine and said firmly to Dom, "That's a real charmer you've got there." and she gets up and leaves without another word. – and – Everything around them starts to burst, when a piece of glass comes at her and hits her hard.

He's at the exit now and Miles is with him. Ariadne smiles even though she wants him to be with her for a few more seconds. They've been though a lot now, and Dom assumes her as a friend.

But, just two seconds ago, Ariadne watches as he leaves and knows she wishes for them to be a little more but know that could never happen and will never happen.

He's off to his kids now and Ariadne's smile fades because she knows this for a fact: she's never seeing him again.
