Obvious
Chapter 1: Omashu
I sighed loudly as I ran towards the gates of Omashu, the only big city that I would go to. I just didn't like leaving the coasts, because when I did it made me feel like I was missing something. Though, for some reason, here in Omashu I don't feel that way. I smiled as I got to the guards and lifted up my wrench, smiling cheekily. They nodded and Earthbended the gates open for me. I once again nodded in thanks and hurried in.
I was in need of not only some good food, but a coil that I can't find on the ports. I spotted the man with the cabbages that he obsessed over and walked to him. Sure, he was pretty crazy, but he knew where things were and his cabbages weren't half bad. I waved to him,"Hey there, mister cabbage. I'll have one please."
He nodded and handed me one, taking the two copper pieces I gave him.
"Would you happen to know where Mr. Mishi may have moved to?"
He pointed down the main road,"Walk down there and take a left at the mail buidling. The last I heard he was in a new shop down there."
I nodded and bit into a piece of the cabbage I now had, walking in the direction he pointed.
I wasn't exactly in the middle of the action, but I wasn't secluded from it like a lot of people. Truthfully, I wish that I could live in a town with a mad scientist. They have a lot of neat inventions, that's for sure. Of course, that wasn't my life. Besides, I couldn't really have one in this country because of my born gift.
I took a left at the mail building and smiled,"Ahh, Mr. Mishi!"
I began to run to the man outside of his shop, sweeping. He always had what I needed and he was always glad to give me a great discount. He waved to me and put his broom up,"Hello, Rinza. What might you need today?"
"Do you have steel coils?"
He laughed and patted my back, leading me into the store,"Do I have steel coils? I'll need a better description than that."
I picked up a slightly coiled one,"This is kind of like what I nee-"
CRASH
SHATTER
POP
[1]
I flinched with Mr. Mishi and looked up to the ceiling increduously,"What happened up there?"
Mr. Mishi put a hand on his chin and shrugged,"I have no idea. We should find out later though if it was very bad. But, anyways- if you want something with a little more turn there is this."
He pulled up a coil a lot like the one I had and I lit up, ecstatic,"That's it!"
He laughed as I dug out the money to pay him. He turned to the counter and picked up a box of bits. I looked at him as I fished out the silver piece,"What's that?"
"Well, you may not be sharing with me what kind of contraption yer makin', but these bits are always helpful."
I snickered and took them,"Thank you very much Mr. Mishi, I'll be seeing you around!"
He waved back,"See you another time, Rinza."
I yawned and stretched up in the small bed I was occupying. I had decided to stay in Omashu for the night since it was a while before I would be back at the Coast. I made my way off of the bed and noticed how light it was out. I sighed and slid into my clunky shoes.
After tying them up I picked up the small pack I had for the things I had gotten and made my way out of the room. I had stayed with Mrs. Pebble[2]. Yea, clever name, right? She welcomed me in ever since I saved her dog from running away. I quietly went down her steps and reached out for the door, but was caught.
"Rinza, don't you want lunch, dearie?" Mrs. Pebbles asked me. She was a big woman, but that made her, her.
I shook my head and opened the door,"No thank you, Mrs. Pebbles. I need to get going- I'll see you another time!"
I stretched my arms out again in the warm air and noticed the mail chutes. I smirked, maybe I could give the surfing thing another go[3]. I had been since I first came to Omashu, and man was it fun. I climbed up to the beginning of the chutes and positioned myself to jump off. When one started to come by, I jumped on and laughed,"WOOHOO!"
"Excuse me, King." The Earth soldier to my left said, holding my arm and wrench.
I growled slightly, but whatever. This always happened.
"What is it?" The old King said, maybe kind of angry that he was being interrupted since he had guests. There was a water tribe girl, a monkey-wing-thing, a boy with an arrow on his head that I will assume is the Avatar, and a really cute water tribe boy. Of course, this isn't the time to oggle.
The man on my right yanked my arm forward a bit,"This girl was found Surfing on the Mail Carts... Again."
I glared up to them,"Oh, come on! I didn't do any damage to anything, besides I was just fitting it in before I left!"
The two ignored me and we all looked to the King guy. He waved his hand,"Let her go, she was leaving, wasn't she?"
I smirked as the two let me go and the one on my left handed my wrench back to me. I yanked it out of his hand and bowed to the king,"Thank you."
He nodded and looked back to the three in front of him. I looked up to see the water tribe boy looking at me. I smiled lightly and waved.
He blushed and walked over. I wasn't too experienced with this, hopefully he would make more of a fool of himself[4].
"Name's Sokka."
I smiled again,"Rinza."
"That's a pretty name." He said, trying to give me a wink.
I snickered and heard someone behind him yell,"Sokka, stop it!"
A bit of water hit him on the face and got onto me. I looked up to see the girl was the culprit. She was from the water tribe, too. She was different though... I couldn't let her look into my eyes- who knows what kind of resentment to my stupid nation she has. I bowed quickly,"It was nice to meet you Sokka, but I need to get going."
With that I hurriedly turned and ran down the corridor. I just have this thing with waterbenders, a lot of them can be quite violent when they find out about firebenders[5].
[1] This was when Aang, Katara, and Sokka crashed through that guy's house when they went out of control on the carts.
[2] I noticed that a lot of the minor Avatar characters have these simple names.
[3] It's kind of like riding in the mail carts, but on top of them :D
[4] Why wouldn't he? It is Sokka :]
[5] Just with the whole Water vs Fire thing and the fact that the fire nation is taking over the world.

I was originally going to let out a lot more of their past, but I decided against it since I could make some filling chapters and confusion XD.
This story will probably take a million years to complete because of my wanting to do other things- so don't expect updates very often, but if I get into a mood for it than I'll be shooting them out like a... um... I was trying to make a reference there. XD.
How about like Zutara v.s. Kataang arguements? I enjoy those... Use your imagination that it was a witty statement xD.
