The inspiration for this story all came from drawings by yssadalawa on tumblr. You should check them out! All credit goes to yssadalawa. I wanted to write a story about young Senna and Tonraq so here it goes. Hope you like! :)

"Senna! Senna! Come out and play!"
Seven year old Senna looked up from the dried sea prunes she had been cutting. The village kids were calling her to come out and play, probably penguin sledding or to throw snowballs.
Senna glanced up at her mother, Lena, with a hopeful expression.
"All right, go have fun with your friends. But be back in time for dinner, young lady." Lena said with a slight smile on her face.
"Thank you mom!" Senna yelled already half way out the door with her parka on.
The second she stepped outside the hut, though, she was hit right in the gut with a snowball.
The laughter she heard following the snowball led her to know who the culprit was. Tonraq.
"I got you this time Senna!" eight year old Tonraq said in between his fit of laughter.
Tonraq was one of the fellow village kids Senna had grown up with in the Southern Water Tribe. Like Senna and the rest of the children, he had dark skin, dark brown hair, and deep blue eyes. He was a Waterbender just like Senna, too. Although, unlike all the rest of the children, Tonraq loved to pick on Senna every chance he got.
"Uh oh," Hanna, Senna's best friend, mumbled when she saw the young waterbenders about to start their accustomed fighting, "Here we go again."
"Tonraq!" Senna screamed, "Why don't you just go walk into a polar bear dog den!"
"Because then I wouldn't get to see your ugly face everyday." He retorted. "Oh wait, maybe that would be a good thing." He finished with a smirk.
Tonraq was beginning to walk away with the other boys in the group when he heard Senna call out to him.
He wasn't even fully turned around when he was hit dead center in the face with a snowball.
"Aghh!" Tonraq cried as the force of the snowball sent him sprawling to the ground.
He could feel his face getting warmer despite the icy sting of the snowball, as Senna sauntered over to him.
"Who's got the ugly face now?" She said as she looked down at him. Then Senna turned and walked away with Hanna with her nose stuck in the air, knowing she had won.
After laughing until they couldn't speak, Tonraq's friends helped him up and reassured him that it was a lucky shot.
A small smile started at the corner of his mouth regardless of being embarrassed that a girl had brought him to the ground with a snowball. But Senna was no ordinary girl.
He'd get her back soon.
