(An: Okay so this is the chapter that Amber and Skoochy officially meet...The story is going really slow right now, but i don't want to speed through it because then it won't be as interesting. The next chapter is where everything really begins, and might take me longer to upload, because it is going to be longer.)

Disclaimer: I do not own Skoochy, or LoK only Amber

~Chapter two~

I shot the fire ahead of me and quickly kicked out my leg to shoot another flame. I continued to slip and weave through pretend attacks while I continued to attack. I circled through the courtyard and finally let down my guard and let out a deep breath. I walked over to the radio and clicked it off and felt someone tap my shoulder. I flipped around guarded and came face to face with a boy slightly older than myself with longish ragged brown hair and green eyes. He had on a page boy hat an old green long sleeve with a vest and long pants. He seemed to be covered in a thin layer of dirt and had an odd smirk on his face.

I stared at him as I let down my guard, but was still prepared to fight if he attacked. He looked at me for a few more minutes before his smirk grew into a smile.

"You ever let your guard down?"

I continued to stare at him and he still smiled while he brought out his hand. I looked down at his hand and back up into his eyes.

"Well...My name is Skoochy..."

"I know." I replied

"Huh?"

"I have lived in the orphanage almost all my life. I know who everyone is, but you especially."

"That's not weird at all..." He replied while the smile slid off his face

"I remember going to the kitchen about two years ago and seeing you with the police. You ran away, and got caught."

"Oh...ya, that's happened multiple times."

"You're a criminal...You can leave now."

"What's your name doll?"

I stared at him angrily, but he continued to look at me like nothing was wrong. I softened my face, and decided to answer him,

"Amber."

"Amber...I like it. What's this key around your neck? You own a diary?"

He started to reach towards it, and i quickly slapped his hand away before clutching my necklace and taking a step back.

"I don't know what it belongs to. It's all I have of my mother..."

"She still alive?"

"I don't know..."

My eyes started to water, and not wanting to look weak turned around and commanded flames from my fists toward and invisible enemy. I felt a hand on my shoulder and followed it's pull as Skoochy forced me to turn around.

"Hey, you're a pretty good fire bender."

"Thanks..."

"It's weird your flames are red though..."

I shrugged off the comment before asking,

"Are you a bender?"

"Yep, Earth...you wanna spar?"

"I don't wanna hurt you." I said snidely

"Trust me. You won't."

So yeah, just simple stuff with Skoochy and Amber...and yes Amber's flames are red. Don't say anything...they are suppose to be different. Anyways Please review Review REVIEW!
