"Furry-Foot, wait up!" Jinora laughed out as she ran through the fields of the spirit world with her dragonfly bunny spirit friends. They ran around for a while longer until Jinora got tired. She stopped near the foot of a mountain to catch her breath. Then suddenly, her spirit friends lifted her up by the shoulders. "Huh?" She was brought into the air. "Hey, where are we going?" They continued to accelerate her until finally they reached the top of the mountain and set her down. "Why'd you bring me up here?" she asked with confusion. Suddenly they went before her and turned into vivid balls of color and came together forming a heart. She heard wind behind her and turned around to see an entire meadow of fully bloomed panda lilies. She gazed in awe. And again her vision was met with a new sight. Just beyond the meadow, there was a girl and a boy embracing each other. She looked closer at the girl seeing that she was wearing air nomad robes and had brown hair.
It was her.
She tried to see who the boy was but his face was blocked by her own, but she could tell that his clothes were green. She attempted to walk towards the scene but found herself falling into nothingness still watching her and the boy she was embracing.
Jinora's eyes opened as she woke up from her dream. She looked around to see she was in her room and not in the spirit world. She got up and got dressed for the day wondering the whole time what that dream meant and who that boy was.
Skoochy walked down the urban streets of Republic City with his hands in his pockets, keeping an eye out for any possible "business". He'd noticed a handful of other pickpockets that crossed his path, but never once had he associated with them. He was a lone wolf. Always has been. Since last year he grew a few inches and was now at the tender age of 14. It wouldn't be but a few years until he was put out of the orphanage. But he preferred not to think of that.
He scanned the crowd for wallets while trying to avoid one particular person. And then…
BULLSEYE!
Not too far ahead of him was a tall man wearing luxurious robes adorned with fine trimming. Around his shoulder was a handbag that reached down just below his hip. On top of that, the man didn't seem to be paying much attention to anything. It was perfect.
Skoochy moved past the other people in the crowd to get to the man. He crept up behind him, making sure that no one saw him doing so. Swiftly, he reached into the bag and pulled out a billfold. The boy backed up and began to walk away. But of course-
"ROWR!"
Skoochy looked down to see that he had stepped on a cat's tail. "Crud!" he thought to himself. He quickly turned around to see that the sound had caught the man's attention and he was looking right at him. His eye widened when he saw that he had taken his billfold. There was no way to talk his way out of this. Skoochy took off like an eel hound. "STOP! HELP! THIEF!" the man yelled. Out of his peripheral vision, he saw a cop running after him. He just kept ran even faster. Everyone looked at the pursuit with shock and interest. Skoochy jumped over stands and even earthbended a few rocks to slow him down. It wasn't until he looked back to see how far he was from the cop that he didn't notice someone waterbend a trail of ice in front of him. He slipped on the ice and was sent flying in the air then landed in the fountain.
The police officer walked up to him with a disapproving and annoyed look on his face.
"Skoochy. Why am I not surprised?" He cuffed his hands, "You're under arrest kid."
All Skoochy could say was, "Aw crap."
