She swung through the air, one vine to the next, trying to build up enough speed to break through the gigantic wall keeping her locked up. She swung closer and closer to the giant, glass-like wall in front of her. She slammed face first into it, beginning to descend faster than she had swung. She fell onto a boulder, making the slight crack in her gem even worse.
Fossilized Tooth, better known as Lizzie by her long gone friends, had been trapped for years. She enjoyed an environment specifically made for her, but after a while she became aware of her situation, and desperate to escape.
Lizzie stood, her form sifting. She was so ready, so prepared to leave if that had worked. Why did she think it would? None of her plans in the past did. She tried to wipe away a tear, but her form twitched, and she ended up her mouth, her tooth, causing the crack to spread even further. She was ready to let loose at that point, begin bawling her eyes out, but then, something happened. The wall cracked. A tiny slit between Lizzie and whatever was outside. A shot at freedom. She grinned, her form faltering with every movement of her mouth. There it was, her way out.

Axinite rolled her eyes.
"No Snow, we can't just slam into it. We'll crack our gems."
She looked around the snowy wasteland they were trapped in.
"Do you even see anything to ram?"
Snowflake Obsidian frowned.
"Well, we have to do something!"
"We've only been in here a day, can't we just enjoy it?"
Axinite, not at all invested in what was going on, layed her head back, resting it on her dangling arms.
"Enjoy it? We're trapped in a SNOW-GLOBE, Axinite!"
Snow was very claustrophobic, and didn't take kindly to being shoved, against her will, into a confined prison.
"We aren't in a snow-globe."
Axinite was oblivious to the fact that they were, indeed, in a snow-globe, stored in a menagerie.
"How could a snowglobe be this realistic?"
"Have you seen some of HomeLand's tech? When we left, we were the most advanced species for lightyears. That was decades ago! How could they have even found us without advanced tech?"
Snow began panicking, walking back and forth. Axinite sighed, standing from her resting spot.
"Hey"
Axinite interrupted Snow's rambling.
"It'll be alright."
Axinite wrapped her arms around Snow. Snowflake took a deep breath, returning the hug.
"I know."
