Lacey walked into the shop and tiredly set down the spouted bottle onto the fireplace ledge. Gabbie bubbled and fizzed lightly as her owner walked to the kitchen lethargically. As Lacey set about making lemon cookies the bottle hissed and the presence inside swirled uneasily.
"Is there anyone out there?" said the voice that belonged to gabrielle, her normally smooth tone was more anxious, more desperate.
She'd been in the dark all of her life, she remembered that much and now once again she couldn't see and now she couldn't hear anyone like she had before. Why was there no one here, she could always feel the other temeos in her house but here, now, there was no one.

Jei came into the shop looking tired and carrying Shuu in her mouth like she always did. She couldnt exactly carry him in her arms due to the fact that she was a quad still.
She figured she would lay on the couch for a bit and relax. She didnt want to knock Shuu over so she set him on the table in front of the couch so she could keep an eye on him. Not too long after she fell asleep without realizing it.
Shuu had been waiting for Jei to fall asleep. He made it his job to find ways to get away from her and this time she made it too easy with her being asleep. As far as he could see from the little hole in the fabric covering his bottle he was on something high, too high for him to get off of. Then he noticed the fireplace.
He made his way over to it as best as he could and the closer he got the more he could have sworn he was hearing something. when finally he got towards the edge of the table closest to the fireplace he knew he was hearing something but didnt know who it was where they were or how to answer them.
"Where is this voice coming from?"

The bottle on the fireplace almost shook with excitement at the sound of another's voice. She focused in on it's direction and spoke into the new voice's mind smoothly, hoping she wouldn't shock whoever it was inside.
"It is coming from the bottle on the fireplace, but I prefer the name Gabbie."
She was ecstatic to have finally talked to someone else, she'd only spoken to two others, and each was somewhat foreign, one, a bi-ped, and one a tame quad. Even if she had wanted to speak to those with whom she lived they most likely wouldn't of heard her small voice among their own thoughts.
Lacey, her gaurdian, was so care warn these days, ever since barton had employed her to fight the animated, she got little sleep. And when she finally did rest, she tossed and turned restlessly until Mitsukai woke her and gave her some chamomile tea. Hotaru was heartsick from not seeing her mate in ages and the twins were anxious to be summoned to the pack grounds. Bali took care of taking me around but he was tired of living in the house, Gabbie could tell. And nalani was always off somewhere in the world.

Shuu wiggled around on the table so that he could gett a better look at the fireplace. He had been shicked at first that he was hearing a bottle and wanted to get a look at her; he figured it was a femme since the ottle had said its name was Gabbie.
Finnally after turnig a few degrees from side to side he spotted the other bottle. It was hard to see her but from what he could see she was dark blue in color and he saw something else but he could tell what it was.
"Gabbie? How are you talking? How am I talking?!" He shook a little with a mixture of confusion and excitement. He had never spoken before, especially not to anyone else.

Hearing the clever bottle's way of scooting around, Gabbie squirmed until her spout faced the table. It was difficult to see the other bottle since he was above her but all the same she saw the warm colors of his bottle. Her mind stopped working for a moment, she saw, for the first time in thousands of years she saw something, and it was the most significant thing to her.
From the sound of his voice through his mind he was a male, but it appeared to her that, other than that, she knew nothing about this new Temeo. More importantly, this new temeo seemed to be a wild like her, that would explain the ease of communication.
Pausing for a moment she tried to figure out a way to explain, "Well, usually my answer would be telepathy, I can converse with you through thoughts. However, there is no need to use my telepathy in this case, as far as I've heard bottled whiles have always been able to converse. But right now your thinking, but thinking in the form of speaking, if that makes any sense. And, I've forgotten my manners, What is your name?" she finished politely

It took Shuu a moment to take all the information in before he realized what was going on.
"Shuu...my name is Shuu."He tried to think of something else to talk about ut could only come up with one thing since it was the one thing coming up in his mind. "So we can have abilities? Sorry for being so blunt but this is the first time Ive ever been able to talk to anyone about anything."

Gabriella squirmed awkwardly in her bottle wondering what all she should say since she was in a word, different.
"Well, Shuu, you can, but you get them when you mature fully and go to a certain ceremony in the pack. And I dont, mind." she said and paused for a moment. When she started again she stuttered a bit, "W-well, I just have this um telepathy because I am not exactly a normal temeo, I don't remember exactly my lives before but-" she broke off. Gabbie smiled inwardly, and said, "It doesn't matter"
She did remember the darkness of floating above the world though, that form she did remember, and eventually she'd go back. Her demeanor changed and her liquid self stopped simmering and Gabbie's mind frowned. The dark again.

Shuu mentally nodded as Gabbie explained the situation to him. When it all finally sunk in though he wondered to his self about when she said 'lives before'. He mentally smirked and his liquid self circled around in his bottle "She really is different." he said to his self.
He inwardly smiled at the thought of being able to know someone as special as her. Then he noticed a change in the way she felt in his mind and he got nervous. He swirled in his bottle but he couldnt really see her since, like him, her bottle was wrapped up in a cloth and she was too far to really make out anything.
"Gabbie, are you okay?"

Gabbie paused to collect her self so that when she answered it would be true, "Yeah I'm okay, just happy to be a temeo is all, I can see and it is lovely," she said focusing on the good of the now, rather than the possibly grim future. "So Shuu, who is your gaurdian," Gabbie said brightening.
Shuu seemed to be considerate and that was nice, rather than self concerned like the rest of her family, he asked how others were. She uncoiled her body in the bottle, she was so ready to see, and to exist as a solid being and not an odd liquid. "Are you excited to get out of your bottle Shuu?" she said as an afterthought.

Shuu was relieved when Gabbie said she was alright and sighed.
He swirled around in his little bottle before answering her question. "As far as I know my gaurdian is Jei, the one sleeping on the couch over there." He tried to point in that direction, but forgot that he had no limbs and she would e able to see him if he did anyways and so he imagined the direction of the couch in his mind to show Gabbie. "I think I have another one but Ive only really seen her as far as I can remember."
When he thought of Gabbie's question about getting out of that cramped bottle he swirled around in his bottle he almost knocked it over on its side. "Yes. I would love to get out of here and explore on my own and see everything. I can only see so much from in here and i have to be carried around most places. I would lve to do things on my own. What about you, are you excited to get out and see the world?"

Gabbie smiled to herself at the word see, "I have been waiting all my long life to see," she said. "I've heard, smelled, tasted, and felt everything, but I've never seen it. And there is no way to describe how much I can't wait," she said with a bubbly happiness
Her excitement had made her bottle fizz and she wondered whether today would be the day, she knew it wasn't but all the same. Not only did she want to see the world but she also wanted to really meet Shuu, her first acquaintance, first friend really. It was a good day and there was something special about it that she couldn't quite place. "Oh it's thanksgiving today!" Gabbie said happily.

Shuu didnt know why but when he heard how Happie Gabbie was he felt warm all over, he even could have sworn that he had been giving off a small bubbling noise. He wanted to blush at this but he couldnt due to him being a liquid.
Than he heard Gabbie exclaim today was a 'thanksgiving day' and he became very curious. She seemed to know all about what was going on and he knew nothing. He didnt let this get him down though, but it cheered him up to know that he could ask her and find out rather than waiting to find out when he gets out
"Thanksgiving? Whats that?" He shifted in his bottle and his colors seemed to shift with him, swirling and mixing with each other in an even more curious pattern than his mood.

Gabbie grinned happily, "It is an odd holiday that gaians celebrate, they stuff their faces then sleep to celebrate the massacre of who they call 'indians'" she said jokingly. These days it was more a holiday to celebrate family and togetherness, that was sort of disappointing, she'd be in a bottle for it. Oh well, she still had Shuu to talk to and that made it alright. Gabbie bubbled happily and thought that maybe if she was lucky, she would come out of her bottle.
"In all seriousness though Shuu, it is a holiday where Gaians and creatures alike celebrate togetherness and family by gathering around a table and sharing food." Gabbie said politely. She wondered if her guardian would harass the shop owner so that Gabbie could be out of her bottle for thanksgiving.

"Thats a really odd holiday, but it sounds fun. I wish we could be out for it."
Hearing of this holiday, and thinking of all the others like it he would miss, he really wanted to be out of his bottle. Not only for the holidays but he also wanted to be out so that he may be able to see what Gabbie looked like. He could only imagine it from what he could see at that time and the sound of her voice.
"Maybe the next holiday that they have we'll be out of these bottle and be able to celebrate it as well." He really hoped what he said was true. He didnt want to miss ouot on everything.

"It is quite fun, but hey we missed it. You're right there is next year," She said happily and grinned towards Shuu. "Would you make promises at this time Shuu?" Gabbie said a bit hesitantly. She pondered her next words before saying them, and even though she thought that perhaps they might be confusing she spoke them anyway.
"Could you make sure I am safe, I want to live a long life, I need to be safe for that to happen," she said in a steady voice, so as not to alarm Shuu. If she had had a lip she would've bitten it but lacking in that she just swirled embarrassed.
