3 years of life.

After that conversation with Olivia, I fell asleep. When I woke up I heard yelling 'what's this commotion about Olivia'? 'Something about your dad and mom's workplace going bankrupt and having to move out of this house' Olivia said sounding very drowsy "don't get sleepy on me now Olivia" I tried to say out loud but all that came out was just loud crying'. 'This is just so frustrating'. Jack Selain (Sapphire's father): Since our daughter had been born I have been out of work so it is news to me when I found out the bank had been gone bankrupt. Very very bad news. We have been going well so far this was so sudden. Since we were out for a few weeks apparently we missed some eviction letters and my job was lost. I just found out over the phone last night. We have to find a condo then I have to find a job. Everything will be okay. After all, I have a decent PR as well as my wife we rank 12 out of 50 on the scale.

I work an office job at a stable bank that has been running for 50 years and all of a sudden the bank has to close!? The phone call said something about the bank being deep in debt and having to sell to the other owner causing mass unemployment. I think this is shady but I do not have a choice but to just accept it. As I walked over to my little gem's room I thought whatever it is I will make sure my daughter and wife are not on the streets no matter what. Sapphire Selain: I hear footsteps who is that? ' I can help you with that she said 'you can'? ' Of course, I have more senses than you' 'you do'? 'yes now kindly be quiet while I explain when I came here I was sort of blessed with more senses hence the fact that when we assimilated you could see 360 degrees around you if it didn't take such a toll on us to assimilate we could have used my senses'.' So you're saying you share your senses with me'. 'yes now shut up I have 3 more senses than you I can sense people out of my vision I can see others auras and I have prediction'.

' So when we assimilate I will be overpowered'? The footsteps were getting closer 'no there are some limits that I can expect to lift over time'.' And how do you know all of this'? 'Because I test things while you are sleeping' She said 'You can see through my eyelids'!? 'Of course, I can dimwit did you not hear me talking I can see through walls eyelids are nothing for me' 'Damn chill'. 'Okay, let's assimilate then'. 'Sure but nothing has changed since two days ago we are gonna have to shut it down before ten seconds have passed' Olivia replied. 'Shut up and let's do this' I said as we became one I felt her and my thoughts getting closer and closer together almost as if they were hugging each other, we then could see right through the wall as our dad was one turn away from our room. Then we remembered the time limit and de-assimilated. My dad was wearing a gray T-shirt that said super-dad in bold red letters with yellow outlines and shorts. As he came towards me and said some gibberish ("everything is going to be okay my sweet gem")

then he carried me downstairs to the kitchen where there was nothing left then out the front door. Where I saw the outside world for the first time it looked like a relatively rich neighborhood with decent-sized houses that all had a similar design to my home. Then my dad carried me to a black sleek small looking car that my mother was already in and got in the driver's seat ("next stop our new apartment in keyword city"!). After that, we drove for a long time I noticed we ended up slowing down a lot most likely due to traffic or something like that 'Hey Olive' 'when did you start calling me Olive' Olivia said 'just now'. 'Whatever what do you want I was sleeping' 'Shut up you've been sleeping this whole trip' 'What's outside why do we keep slowing down' I asked 'Well there's a lot of cars and a large city ...' . After another long period of time, the car completely stopped'. My mother and father came out of the car and stretched then they opened the backseat door picked me up it looked like it was nighttime then my mother carried me to an apartment complex and then we took what looked like a large elevator up to level 8 then we walked down a hallway to room 822.

When my father opened the door for my mother she walked in along with me. What I saw was a much smaller space than what I used to call home. Sapphire Selain (7 months old): I can finally crawl! Yes yes yes, now I can explore! First up a mirror I want to see what I look like then I felt too warm but strong hand pick me up it was my father! He finally got home from work. No, I cannot be distracted I need to explore my kingdom as my home you need to be explored put me down, please. But this time around I could manage a couple of words as I had finally figured out the basics of this language there were still some blank spots but I could understand a sentence easily if spoken slow enough.

"Dada" as I pointed towards the ground "what"! my father said. what is it? I thought oh wait I forgot this would be my first words to my father "honey" my father called out "yes" my mother replied, "our child has just spoken her first words"! "What!!?" my mother came over to my father I looked at both of them and said, "mama"! Sapphire Selain (3 years old) I got up in the morning and slowly got up out of my small bed today was the day! I finally get to see the outside world and go shopping!

.

As I got dressed in the morning I looked at myself in the mirror with bright blue eyes and some black hair and I thought 'wow I really am in a different world.' 'No shit sherlock' Olivia said 'hey no need to be mean' lately Olivia has been becoming more of her own person than just an extension of me. I finally understand the full language after 3 years of living here, I thought as I walked out of my room and finished changing from my pajamas. But now I am especially enthusiastic! As I walked out of my room I heard my mother's voice say "are you ready little gem? "Yes," I replied in a loud voice as I rushed through the hallway. To the front door where mom was waiting for me. "Gosh it still amazes me how you can get dressed on your own not to mention how quickly you do it" "maybe I am just a super genius" I replied with a smirk".

"Maybe you are but you will forever still be my little gem." I didn't know how to respond to this other than smile. Then we headed down the hallway to the elevator and headed downstairs to the front door. The last time I went outside the apartment was back when they got my clothes 1year ago and I still couldn't understand the majority of words and I did not enjoy and get to explore nearly as much as I wanted to but this time around I was able to do exactly just that. When I got outside I noticed we were in a kind of urban city and everything around me pointed to where I was being a poor part of the flying city. 'Hey, Olivia' 'yeah what is it ?

' 'What is making this city fly?' 'A lot and a lot of people are using wind-based power to lift the city.' 'I wish that was more detailed but I guess that would be fine.' 'Now don't wake me up again you know I love my naps so when you wake me up it is irritating'. 'Shut up your always napping lazy girl' but she had already gone back to sleep. After this conversation, me and mom went up to the car and she got to driving. We arrived at a large mall around 25 to 30 minutes later. It was a sight to behold. It was painted blue and red on the front and the sign said I don't know what the sign said I couldn't read yet. But as I walked in I noticed that it was fully crowded and being around this many people at a time made me nervous even though my mom was holding my hand. But as we continued walking on we finally found a store with a pink neon sign above it that was obviously a girl's store. When me and mom walked in she giggled giddily as if she was a teenager and said " our first girls hang out why don't we have some fun before leaving this store after we get the clothes." Sure mom"! After this conversation mom and I went around the whole store and picked out many clothes for me to try on and decide which I liked the most. I finally settled on 3 skirts, 2 pants and 5 pajama sets, then after that WE HAD LOTS OF FUN!

We went over to where the good smell was coming from and it was hotdogs and pretzels! We had a lunch break then we headed over to the arcade and had some fun there. I even won against mom in a dancing competition but I suspect her of letting me win. After that it was dark outside so we went to the car and went home. I fell asleep in the car and the next thing I knew it was morning and I was in my bed. I was about to get up from the bed and that's when I realized... I am severely bored. I have nothing to do around the house all day except eat, sleep and play a little. This is not how I imagined my new life would be like. But then I heard footsteps coming closer and closer to my room then I lifted my small body out of the small bed then someone came through my doorway and it was dad.

He looked really excited then he said Sapphire, it's time to learn how to read! This was not surprising for me as I suspected this was going to happen. It looked as if children did not become students as early as on earth so it was up to parents to teach their children how to read, write and explain the power system. 'Your guesses are correct. Parents have to teach the equivalent of all the first 5 years of school that earth teachers would teach instead of parents' Olivia sai
