7/14/12

The way she moved was like nothing he'd ever seen before. The way she would maneuver herself through the crowd, it was like a dance.

The first time that he saw her, he was convinced she must have been some sort of spirit, the way she seemed to float down the street and the way the light of the setting sun seemed to make her glow.

The second time he saw her, she had her nose buried in a book, weaving her way through the crowd. She was lovely, but he had no idea who she was. As quickly as she had appeared, she had vanished into the throng of people.

The third night, he made sure to get out of work early, just to make sure he didn't miss her. Right on schedule, she appeared, some books in her arms. She glanced over at him, and their eyes met. His breath caught in his throat and she gave him a half smile as she continued down the street. He noticed a few other men watching her the way he did, and his heart sank. She would never even notice someone like him.

Suddenly his feet were moving and he was heading down the street in the direction she had disappeared. He didn't see her and he began to run. He spotted her dark hair shining in the light and he hurried after her. He reached the dock as she picked up a stick that was leaning against the small ferry house. She spun it around quickly and it turned into a glider. Tucking her books into her back she adjusted the device behind her back and leapt into the air, heading towards the island.

He watched her. Then he realized who she was. She was Jinora. The oldest daughter of Councilman Tenzin, and the granddaughter of Avatar Aang. He sighed.

For the next couple of days he avoided her eyes, and the urge to run after her and talk to her faded slightly, yet he still waited every night when she would be heading home to watch her dance her way through the busy street.

One night, she didn't come. He stood and waited, checking his watch occasionally. But she never showed. He sighed, pushing himself off of the wall and stretching. The muscles in his back and shoulders popped and he relaxed, dropping his arms to his sides, feeling them narrowly miss someone.

He spun trying to see who would come so close to him that he couldn't even stretch.

She was there, a small ice cream in her hand. Her eyes widened slightly as he whipped around.

"Hello." Her voice was soft and sweet.

She was speaking to him, and she seemed to be genuine.

"H-hello." He pulled his hat off of his head and wrung it in his hands. He knew it was rude to wear a hat when greeting a lady.

"It's a nice night isn't it?" She took a small lick of her ice cream. He gulped and nodded, watching as her tongue flicked out and licked a drop of ice cream off of her lips. "I'm Jinora."

"I'm Skoochy."

"Skoochy huh? That's an interesting name." She smiled, and he felt a smile spread across his face as well as he secured his hat back on his head.

"I've never met any other Skoochy, even in a city as big as this, so I figure it must be pretty unique." He grinned and she giggled.

"It's late, I should be going. My dad is going to go nuts if I'm not home before dark." She took another lick of her ice cream.

"Would you mind if I walked with you?"

"Of course not!" She smiled at him brightly before heading towards the docks. He kept a pace with her, but he couldn't help but notice how light on her feet she was, he felt extremely clunky next to her.

They kept up a pleasant conversation, talking about the city and what they spent their time doing. She loved to read, and he love to listen to her talk about what she'd read. She would light up, and explain to him every small detail of what she had read.

They were both sorry when they finally reached the dock. She picked up her glider and spun it, snapping it open.

"It was very nice to meet you Skoochy."

"It was a pleasure to meet you as well Miss Jinora."

"Just Jinora is fine."

"May I walk with you again tomorrow?"

"I would really like that." Her smile reached her eyes and she adjusted her glider behind her back. "Tomorrow then?"

"Tomorrow." He agreed, waving at her as she gracefully leapt off the dock into the sky.

He always loved to watch her move.

I want them to meet so bad oh my gosh.
