Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Doooooooooor..." Evari called out when she heard a knock on the door, staring entranced at the television. She didn't know what this show was but it was full of pretty colors and bouncy thingies. They kept saying 'Boohbah' or something. Whatever it was, Evari had deemed it awesome. Xai blinked, her head peeking out the kitchen door to look down the little hall at the front door. Someone was there? Oh, dear! But she was cooking! Um...what to do, what to do. "Doooooooooor." The little glowing child said again with obvious disinterest. Xai frowned.

"Will you please get it for me, Evari?"

"Nope!" This time she sounded happy, but Evari always sounded happy when she said no to someone. Her legs kicked a bit, sparks of fireworks flying from her legs whenever they made impact against the bottom of the couch. She laughed delightedly. Still awesome!

"If you don't get the door you can't eat." Evari gasped, flying off the couch and running to the door. Can't eat?! No food?! No way was she going to risk that! She threw the door opened with all her might and looked up to greet whoever was there only to find that it was...empty? What? Where was the knocker?!

"Helllllloooo?" She stepped out a bit to look around, blinking and looking down at her feet when she kicked something. What was that?! It was pretty! Picking it up, Evari walked back inside and slammed the door closed behind her. "I gotta box!" Evari announced proudly, running into the kitchen and holding it up for Xai to see. The Ursontaean tilted her head and stared at the obnoxiously colored box. Where had that come from? Had it just appeared? How interesting! "Cinai open it?" She would anyway even if Xai said no.

"I...suppose..." Xai said warily as she watched Evari tear off the ribbon and pull off the lid of the tiny box.

Both girls gasped at the little puff of gray smoke that popped up from out of the box. "Whooooa!" Evari grinned widely at the strange creature. "Hiiiiiiii!" She reached out to grab it so she could get a better look at it when it suddenly shrieked and started bouncing all around the kitchen. What the! Xai's eyes widened and she clutched the bowl in her hands that she had been stirring something in. It was hard to tell what it was, probably Ursontaean cuisine. Evari pouted up at the thing, jumping up with her arm outstretched in the air to try and grab at it again. Darn! She wasn't tall enough! It came from her box! That thing was hers!

Xai tilted her head a bit when the creature suddenly started swaying something in front of her, her eyes following it curiously. Oh? What was this? How interesting! Her eyes continued to follow the disk, listening to the thing's words. Dinner? What about dinner? Of course it would stay for dinner. Why wouldn't it? "Balcombe Curiosities...why, yes! I would love to!" She looked down at Evari with a big smile. Evari was still trying to jump up and grab the thing she was claiming as hers. "Evari, stop that. We're going to have dinner now!" The food was almost ready, they wouldn't have to wait much longer! Evari pouted up at her mother.

"It's mine!" She reached up to grab it again. "Miiiiiiiiiiine!" Xai laughed and walked away to set the table, leaving the bowl of strangely colored...food...unattended on the counter.

Freaky? Hey! She wasn't freaky! Everyone else were the freaks! Just for that if she grabbed it she wouldn't let it go! Maybe. There was still food to be had and from the looks of it she would need both hands. She cheered victoriously when she managed to grab the bouncy smoke thinger. If it was made of smoke and could pass through her then how did it bounce around? And why wasn't it passing through her hand? ..Ha! She won! That was all that mattered! Evari grinned at the unhappy thing and held it at eye level. "Tol'ja." Evari blinked and stared at the little gold disk. Cool! Wait, what was it saying? Dinner?

...Oh! Right! Food! Evari didn't let go of the thing just yet, instead running with it still in her fist to the table and climbing onto her chair. It wasn't until she was sitting and settled that she freed her smoky captive, wiggling excitedly in her chair and watching as Xai served their dinner. She and Evari each got a plate, and a bowl was set down between them for their little guest to enjoy the dinner as well. They would sit and eat until either all the food was gone or their appetites were filled. It was a big bowl...the food was probably finished before they had had their fill. But there was three of them!

"Alright! Now Evari and I will go to Balcombe Curiosities..." Xai blinked. Where was that again? She'd been there before...oh! It was where she had given that nice lady her ice cream cone in exchange for that glove Evari came from! Right, right. The alien stood, clearing the table of any dishes and putting them in the sink. She'd wash them later. "Will you be joining us?" She asked the smoky critter, already walking away to put on shoes. Normally she would have more manners, but she had to get to that shop! Evari tilted her head and watched Xai walk away, then stared at the critter again with a cheshire grin. Suddenly her hand shot out to grab at it again, losing her balance in her chair and falling onto the floor with a loud 'UMPH!'

"Evari, come get your coat."

"Don'wanna!"

"We'll stop for ice cream on the way home."

"'Kaaaaay!" Evari smiled and scrambled to her feet, running to the door and putting her coat on.

Xai squeaked when her ear was suddenly grabbed and clung to, blinking and reaching back to blindly pet at it with her finger. That crying kind of hurt her head! "Yes, yes. We're going. Come on, Evari~." The Ursontaean took hold of the glowing girl's hand, holding it tight enough that she couldn't get away but loose enough to keep her from fleeing. Evari did try to pry herself free with cries of protest and displeasure, digging her heels into the ground as she was forcibly dragged out of the house and down the sidewalk. Xai was used to having to do this by now. Either way they would get to the shop with or without the little girl's cooperation.
