AN: As of today I am officially out of one word prompts. I'll post four more drabbles and then that's all I've got.
The good news is that I will be taking prompts if you'd like to give them. They can be one word or they can be very specific. I don't mind either way. I'm even open to two or three shot stories.
The bad news is that I will no longer be posting a drabble a day. As liberating as writing every day for a month has been... Well, I don't think I could keep it up indefinitely. That doesn't mean I won't post responses to prompts quickly it just means I won't have something new for you to read every day. Hopefully once or twice a week.
So that's my two cents. I hope you all have enjoyed these as much as I have enjoyed writing them. It's been a pleasure. :D
thousand
Mako, Bolin, and Korra had never seen so much money in their lives.
"Five hundred thousand yuans. Your winnings." Butaka held out a check the size of a polar bear dog. It was more than their life savings, all held together in one big piece of paper. Mako seemed hesitant to take it. Bolin seemed to have fainted. Korra, however, didn't hesitate. Her entire body was still full of the thrill of winning.
"Thank you so much!" She cried out, snatching up the check and throwing her arms around Butaka. She lifted him off the ground, her grin nearly snapping her face in half. Butaka looked rather uncomfortable but he graciously freed his hand from her stranglehold and patted the top of her head.
"You and your team earned it, Avatar. I've never seen anybody take down the Wolfbats like that before." He chuckled uncertainly. Korra finally put him down, the check crumpled but whole in her fist.
Butaka retreated from the shell-shocked Fire Ferrets. "Give me that!" Mako snapped, extracting the check from her hands. He'd finally managed to get out of that daze he'd been in for the last five minutes. Korra huffed indignantly, planting her hands on her hips in a way characteristic only to Korra.
Mako examined the check, as if trying to verify that it was real. "I can't believe we did it." Disbelief and something akin to awe leaked from his voice. At last Bo sat up, Pabu sitting on his head.
"WEEEEE DIIIIDDDD ITTT!" The earth bender was abruptly in the air, punching the sky and gathering his teammates together for a bone crushing hug. Korra laughed and Mako couldn't help the smile that bled onto his lips. "Avatar Korra. You've just won the Pro-Bending Championship. What are you gonna do now?" Bolin asked, an imaginary microphone to his lips.
"I'm gonna save the world!" She whooped and let out a bright laugh. Bolin cheered along with her, abruptly lifting her piggyback. The pair of them circled the ring laughing and cheering all the way.
"While you guys do that, I'm going to the bank." Mako called to them, waving the check like a silent greeting. The younger pair stopped and Korra dismounted running back towards the fire bender.
"You are such a wet blanket. Put the check away. Let's go have some fun!" She pecked his lips. Sufficiently distracted, she snatched the check from his hands and took off running towards Bolin.
"Run Bo!" She called. The earth bender, catching on quickly, took off toward the changing rooms with a loud chuckle.
"Hey!" Mako shouted, perturbed. But his lips quirked, a laugh built in his throat, and he took off after them. "You're gonna pay for that!"
