Mara and I entered the city of Omashu, she stared straight ahead while I stared at people, trying to creep them out.
"Mel, quit." she muttered out of the side of her mouth.
"Oh but why? I enjoy creeping people out!"
"These are firebenders-"
"FIREBENDERS?" I screamed loudly, causing everyone in the street to stop and turn to stare at the voice, also known as, me. "I LOVE Firebenders!"
"Crap, crap, crap..." Mara continued chanting crap as I ran up to someone who looked like a noble.
"Are you a firebender, sir? I just think they're so awesome. Am I scaring you? Sorry if I am, but it's just that I've never met someone that's a firebender-" Mara snatched my arm and covered my mouth.
"Sorry sir. She's a bit..." looking around, she whispered "touched in the head."
The man stared at me funnily, then backed away slowly. When he reached what he thought seemed like a safe distance from me, he turned and ran.
"Nice Mel! NICE!" smacking my head, she started walking towards a clothes merchant. "Just freak people out! That's what we need! Millions of Fire Nation guards hunting us down! Now c'mon. We have to find some clothes so we'll fit in around here until we can reach Ba Sing Sae."
I was silent for a moment then asked, "Well if we're going to an Earth Kingdom city, why are we buying clothes in a Fire Nation inhabited city?"
She stopped short and I slammed into her. "You're right... but we can't just go parading around in shorts and t-shirts, now can we?"
I looked down at my now filthy Chris Tomlin t-shirt, looked back up at her and wobbled my lip. "B-but, I love my t-shirt!"
She sighed. "Sometimes I really DO think you're a mental case... my gosh." Leaning down she grasped my hand and pulled me up. "Come on. We'll go to the Earth refugees in the other part of town. Maybe they have clothes to spare."
