Chapter Two: Cookies and Thieves
Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar. I do own Raiga, Memo and Tae and Zazi (pronounced Zazzy) who are-EEP! Why would I frigging tell you now?
"Memo! We need to go to the Sojii Marketplace!" Raiga dragged her sister out of bed.
"Really. You can go," Memo went back to bed.
"C'mon. Please?" Raiga asked.
"Buy me a cookie, and we have a deal," Memo said.
"…Okay."
Memo and Raiga walked out of the house, and ventured to the Sojii Marketplace.
"Are we there yet?" Memo complained.
"You ass, we just walked twenty steps. Of course we aren't there!" Raiga said.
"Well, twenty steps is more than two," Memo shot back.
"You JUST realized that?"
"Yep!" Memo smiled.
Raiga slapped her head. Memo was so…you didn't want to know.
"Here we are. Sojii Marketplace!" Raiga showed Memo all the bazaars, shops and vendors.
"What do we need?" Memo asked, fearing the worst.
"New clothes."
"Aaaagh!"
"Come on, Memo. You're wearing rags!" Raiga pointed at the ugly, brown and green dress Memo had on.
"But…I like these," Memo said.
"They're getting old!" Raiga shouted.
"Nuh uh. I got these when I was twelve! So ha!" Memo laughed, not realizing Raiga was not laughing.
"Ewww…have you washed them?" Raiga walked away from her sister, smelling the stench.
"Maybe."
"That's disgusting! You desperately need new clothes!" Raiga said, trying to make her point.
"Look! Cookies!" Memo was distracted by the cookie vendor.
"Would you like a cookie?" The cookie vendor asked Memo.
"Yeah."
"Do you have five copper pieces?" He asked.
"RAIGA! CAN I HAVE FIVE COPPER PIECES?" Memo shouted to her older sister, who was looking at some nice kimonos.
"What for?" Raiga asked, knowing what Memo could possibly want.
"A cookie."
Ugh.
"Five?"
"Yep!"
"Oh, alright. I can't believe I'm doing this," Raiga went over to her sister and dropped five copper pieces into Memo's palm.
"Yay! Cookie!" Memo paid the cookie vendor.
"Five copper pieces? What a fucking rip-off," Raiga said, steamed at the fact she only had three copper pieces left.
"Yummy!" Memo chomped happily on her cookie.
"I swear, you're like a six year old," Raiga gazed at her sister.
"Want a piece?" Memo waved the cookie in Raiga's face.
"No."
"You know you want it!"
"No!"
"Please?"
"NO!"
"Jeez, don't be so mad," Memo ate the rest of her cookie.
"Aaagh! My necklace!" A jewelry vendor shrieked.
"Aaagh! My pearls!" Another person cried out.
"Aaaaagh! Where'd my cookie go?" Memo said.
"Ass, you ate your cookie. And why did you go 'Aaaaagh!' ?" Raiga asked.
"I dunno. Everybody else was," Memo shrugged.
"Jewel thieves. Come one Memo, lets go get them!" Raiga dragged Memo with her as they ran after the thieves.
"Halt!" Memo carved a chunk from the ground and stopped the thieves in their tracks.
"Ouch!" The taller boy snapped.
"Give it back!" Raiga demanded.
"Never!" The smaller thief grabbed the taller one by the arm and ran, as Raiga and Memo came after them.
"Get back here!" Raiga yelled.
"No!"
Raiga and Memo ran after the two thieves into the outer parts of Sojii. The wooded parts.
Raiga could barely keep up with them.
"Alright, you win," Raiga collapsed.
"Why'd you guys steal that necklace?" Memo asked.
The two boys snickered. The taller one said,
"We're low on money."
"Who…are you two? Are you stalkers? Or worse…COOKIE THIEVES!" Memo was hysterical.
"No. I'm Tae. This is my younger brother, Zazi," Tae introduced himself and Zazi.
"I'm Memoku! Just…call me….Memo! Or you can call me Memo!" Memo happily acquainted herself with Tae and Zazi.
"Raiga, get up. The thieves aren't stalkers OR cookie thieves!" Memo pulled her sister up.
"Why'd you steal the necklace and pearls?" Raiga asked the same question Memo did.
Zazi replied,
"Low on cash."
"Well, you shouldn't steal," Raiga scolded.
"That's my older sister, Raiga. She's a pain in the ass."
"No, that would be you, Memo."
"So..what do you need the necklace and pearls for?" Memo asked, being naïve.
"You see, Memo, we're trying to get enough money to get a ship. So we can capture the Avatar!" Tae exclaimed.
Ici: Eh, Memo reminds me of my sister. Well...not really.
Memo: I wuv you!
Raiga: That's perverted
Memo: Nuh uh!
