"Wow... I have never seen a piece of clothing like this before!" Octavia holds the expensive dress up to her. "It's a dress." William says. "Oh, is it something to eat?"

"Haha, no you wear it! Like those ladies out there wear them, I bought it for you, go on and try it on!" "Oh, okay!" she hurries out of the room and tries it on in the bathroom.

The dress was that of southern belle style, red and gold satin in many layers and it had a matching red jacket to wear over it. She walks out and goes back into her master's office. "Did I put it on right?" "You look stunning" he says, blushing a little. "....Can I ask you something?" Octavia asks, "What is it?" "I remember from yesterday, at the shop, you told me to never wander off and....I would like to know the reason. Not questioning you or anything but, I seen a lot of people working in the field of that house near us you told me about. All of them have the same skin complexion as mine, yet the ones with your skin, they're treated a lot different, why is that?" Octavia, being a wish-granting genie, had no idea of what was going on, that being her very own skin complexion was apparently a crime, and seen as property. William whispers in her ear, "Never ask that again, alright? Remember what I told you last time?" he asks her. She nods.

Before meeting Octavia, William, a young man, found a lovely decorative bottle in a shop in the north. He decided to bring it home with him in the south, he did so. He wanted something to look at while writing a letter to an abolitionist. After sending the letter off, he opened the bottle and out came red smoke that covered the floors of his office. A young woman appears before his eyes. "What the- Who are you!? Where did you-"

"Hello master, I am Octavia. I am a genie who has been in slumber until you have awakened me. Please allow me to grant you three wishes as thanks for freeing me."

"...Master? I'm not a slave owner!" "You freed me from my slumber, so I may grant you three wishes." "....Well this isn't a wish but call me William from now on out. I'm an abolitionist." "I will address you by William from now on out." "Just stay right there!" he says, inspecting the shapely genie.

"I have never seen such accessories or clothing such as this! You're from this bottle?" she answered his questions and looked at her new master at the same time- her first human that she sees. Pale skin, golden blonde hair tied in a small bun, eyes blue as the sky, a handsome guy overall. After that short visit, Octavia was sent back to her bottle, she went to her world and told the story of her first visit to the human world. Soon, a few other genies became Earth genies and scattered around the world and later on, William began to see Octavia as his friend.

She stopped being his so called maid, and began to adapt to being his friend. She used to be uptight but loosened up eventually. She even took the opportunity to study the Earth. However she was told that for now she could never be seen with her friend, he never told her why, but she assumed because she was a genie. She studied and discovered many different things: trees, pants, clothing, clocks, the food William ate. She eventually brought these ideas over to her world, never revealing where the ideas came from. Octavia brought the idea of wish granting to humans to life and she made the rules: Genies must go by their owners orders, they must grant them 3 wishes, they must call them master as a sign of respect, and they do not have the power to bring back the dead.

One day, William was out in his huge backyard, he never had a green thumb and he refused to have a slave to do it for him, he opened his bottle to see his friend appear before him. "Hello, William" she smiles a little. "Octavia I have something to ask you" "Of course, anything." "I wish to have this yard filled with beautiful flowers, and for them to come back every year with no hassle" he says. She claps her hands together and in no time, vibrant flowers grew everywhere- rose bushes, daisies, sunflowers, lilacs, lavender, orchids, tulips, fruit trees, even a flowing creek with a fancy stone bridge going over it, to give the plants water! She shown no signs of tiredness. William was amazed and in awe of what lied in front of him.

"Are you satisfied, William?" she asks. "Very much, it's wonderful. A beautiful sight to be seen" he looks at her, happy. Eventually the two became close, and Octavia decided to bring him to her world, being advanced in skill, she hid his identity as a human there. William was close by her side and noticed how she was treated among the citizens-similar to upper-class. He visited her home, she gave him a tour around and they eventually end up at her study. A wall of books, some floated in the air along with random objects. William noticed the rose he gave her before that was floating in a red bubble. "Are you an elite of some sort if I may ask?"

"....You can say that. I don't really like to talk about myself much, I sometimes see it as bragging-which I don't really like. I'm only here to serve my purpose to my society, and you, William." she looks back at him with a gentle smile. "That's all? You don't take a small trip for a break or anything? It's just you in this huge....residence of yours by yourself?" he raises a brow.

"Yes, I'm here by myself. There is no reason for anyone else to be here, besides you. Because we are friends....you mustn't tell anyone of your world of what you have seen here. You're not supposed to be here in the first place." she explains. "You don't have....I mean, you don't have a lover here to accompany you here?" he asks, "No. My interest is in academics, there is no reason for me to have a lover if they'll be a distraction from my duties." she says.

"Octavia can we go back?" he asks, keeping his worries to himself. She follows his orders and went back to Earth, back home. As soon as they're home William speaks up, "Octavia for tonight and tomorrow you're to stay here. You deserve a break." "....I'm to stay here?" "Yep." "Alright. I will" she says. As night fell, she sat on the floor, watching William sleep. She studied his sleep pattern. A book floated by her and a pen wrote her thoughts in it, 'It seems sleep is when a human needs to restore their energy for the next day, it's similar to how Souhatians need to stop to take a small breather when they have ran a lot. However, we never sleep, but humans do. He's not moving and seems vulnerable in this state, what is it like to sleep?'.

She stared at him sleeping and he had no idea. She thought about the time she saw a man on a horse whipping a woman in the same field she mentioned before. She looked at herself at a nearby mirror, then gently glides the back of her hand against the side of William's face. It gave her a flashback of how she saw a male and female human and their lips met, the two looked happy. Her pen kept writing away in her journal, 'Why do I feel this way when I'm near my master? I shouldn't. Maybe it's just a reaction, since I have never met a human before. What could happen if humanly ways have rubbed off on me and Souhaitians would notice? His hair smells of fresh soap. According to my research, a kiss in the mortal world is the same thing as a pok in my world. Why am I thinking like this-' "Stop writing!" she hisses at the pen and journal and both stop and drop to the floor, making a loud thump. Octavia's heart thumps, knowing that she interrupted William's slumber. He slowly opens his eyes, and sits up while noticing Octavia by his bedside, "I-I'm sorry master-erm, William! I- I didn't mean to!" she stutters.

"Oh, it's you. Why are you up? Are you not going to catch some rest?"

"Rest?" she asks confused. He looks around, as the crickets made their noise outside and sees an open book and an ink-dipped feather on the floor, "Um, I was a bit bored so I...just did some...my kind never sleeps, there is no reason for us to." she says. "....You never went to sleep before?" "No, I am not able to." "It's a bit like relaxing." "Oh." . The two got along together and became closer, Octavia preferred not to insert herself into human matters, but she helped William with the anti-slave movement he was in. She brought him over to her world and bought many jewels and accessories- very valuable in the human world, and William traded them out for money- enough money to buy all of the slaves in his town. With Octavia's help, they made individual papers for each slave, their paper to freedom. Octavia helped guide them to the north, and gave them enough to set off on their own.

One autumn day, Octavia was looking out of the window at the colorful leaves. William only used one wish. She wore an off shoulder yellow dress, matching heels and white gloves. Her pen wrote away in her journal, she used her genie magic for the pen to write itself- her thoughts. 'It appears that the flowers are dying down as the autumn chill comes in. I have never seen or experienced autumn before, I have only seen the snow and ice of Spirland Mountain- whose people are quite hostile towards Souhaitians and Genies. The trees, it's like they're about to sleep! Amazing....wait, trees can sleep too? I must remind myself to study this more-' Octavia feels a warm embrace from behind.

"You must really like nature do you?" "It's really interesting, the people and the animals are very complex but....human emotions...it's a bit complex." she says, feeling a chill down her spine from her friends warm breaths landing on her bare neck and collarbone. "May I ask you something, William?...I don't mean to rush you but, you do know that you have two wishes left, am I correct?"

"I know. I prefer to use them wisely....what happens if I use them all?" he asks.

"I will no longer be yours and I will be sent back to my bottle and it will be somewhere on this Earth and I will fall into another slumber until I am awakened by my next master." she explains.

"That's disappointing....I'll make sure I think before making another wish." he kisses her shoulder. "I should tell you this though, Octavia. I love you" he confesses. "I know that you're a genie and here to serve me but, I have seen you really as a friend and...you're the most beautiful woman I have ever met. I apologize for... I'm sorry" William blushes.

'Blushing- when a human is embarrassed or nervous. They convey the same emotions and expressions as those of the other world but simply use a different vocabulary.' "You love me? L-Love? I don't understand." Octavia becomes confused as she turns around to face him.

"You don't know what love is? I feel you know but maybe you say it differently." "What...what is love?" "It's similar to when I told you about a kiss, how two people who love each other, they kiss, or what you say is a pok" William explains.

"Have you ever kissed anyone before?"

"...No I never thought of it, you want to kiss me?" "Not just kiss you, I love you, and if it were not for you being a genie, if you were human I would've asked you to become my wife" his face draws near to hers.

~AHHH COVER YOUR EYES OR SKIP THIS SMALL PART~

Octavia had no idea what he said, and was more confused with herself internally. Her heart was beating fast, her cheeks were warm. She felt his lips on hers, he held her close, slowly unbuttoning the back of her dress and his hand feeling the soft bare skin of her back. Octavia had no idea what was going on, but she felt the same way for William. However she forgot that her pen was writing away still.

It wrote quietly, but a lot faster, page by page by page by page, every detail that was going through her mind, what she heard, what she seen, what she felt, everything. The last words for her journal entry of the night, 'Is this what love feels like?'

~OKAY YOU'RE SAFE NOW LOL~

Two years later

After so many visits, William became familiar with the land of Souhait. Octavia became worried for William. She was working on a special instrument of hers- her golden flute that she called 'The Reed'. Octavia was top of her class when it came to her genie magic and skill, however she noticed that she became too much for her power. So she stored some of her powers into her flute, shrunk it and worn it as a necklace. She was still working on it and William held it and it shocked him. She hurries and heals his wounds, "Just think about it Octavia, if we helped free over 15,000 slaves with barely any power, just think what we could be with your powers. I noticed your capability, and that was not all you can do."

"Yes true but-" "Octavia, we could rule the whole world together, I don't need some wishes to grant me happiness because you're all I need. We could do anything we want! Travel the world, free the whole country, heh, we could own the world if we want" he kisses her.

"William, I am here and only here to do my job and duty, to serve my community and you. I do not wish to rule the Earth!"

"You're right. With that kind of power we can rule both worlds." he laughs, she smacks him. "I'm sorry but you are not the William that I know! Are you insane?!"

"Oh I'm not insane at all, Octavia you're different from the others. When you're more powerful than the mayor of your own town...that should click in your head that you should rule Souhait instead of that old man in that seat. You already started a new age of academics in this world." he holds her and plays with her hair while looking into her eyes, "Just think of it, we can start a new age on Earth- new inventions, education, freeing every slave in the country, name countries and cities after you and I. We would have people generally, worshipping us" he whispers into her ear and gently sucks on her neck.

"Humans will be amazed at the things you would do. No more famine, we could-" "What is that over there?" Octavia points to a sack on the floor, under the bed where something shiny caught her eye. It fell out, revealing to be a golden goblet.

"William?" "It's nothing it's just something left over from that trade out a while back." he explains. "We traded all of what we collected, we didn't leave any!" she says and makes the sack levitate, which revealed four more sacks, "Have you been stealing these?! Is that why you want to go back and forth to and from Souhait so you could steal from...my home land?" she asks.

"Octavia, you know I would never do that!"

"The way you said you want people to worship us... I don't want that!" "Octavia, I didn't mean it like that, I mean people looking up to us as their role models, and we can be an amazing example for them!"

Octavia calms down, "Okay then. I need to go back to Souhait for a minute, will you come with me?... I'm sorry for what I said earlier." she says. "I'm ready" William says. Octavia kisses William passionately. She didn't know what love was.

The two travel to Souhait. Octavia lets William to buy some valuable items. Thing is, Octavia did not cover his identity. She waits, and hears the screams and perils, as she walks outside of her house. A woman runs up to her, "Octavia! Octavia! We need your help! There's a HUMAN stealing our stuff-" the woman gets cut off by a loud explosion, "What the!?" Octavia looks over at the explosion from a distance, that was not supposed to happen.

"A HUMAN?! There's no way a human can come here unless-...." "The only human we know of is your master." "....No-no!" she flies off to the chaos and does hand movements to extinguish the fire out and blow the smoke away. She sees an angry William with a sword in his hand, pointing it at her as she softly landed on the ground. "YOU! YOU BETRAYED ME!"

"William! What are you doing!?"
