[Little]

Bolu nodded. "Will do then."

****

Oh sh*t. Nipo frowned and went back to his engine. "That sucks. Sorry."

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Eri smiled, "Thank you Bolu."

---

The firebender crossed his arms, "You're doing it wrong."

[Little]

Bolu nodded. Rina smiled. "Can I join you guys?"

****

Nipo looked up at him. "I am?"

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Eri nodded, "Of course. I'm sure Bolu would love to go to lunch with you, sit by you, talk with you all hour long, then walk back to school with you." She giggled. "I'm kidding, sure. The more the merrier at this point."

---

The firebender nodded, shooting a huge fireball right near his hands at the engine.

[Little]

Rina rolled her eyes. "Sure he would."

***

Nipo jerked his hands back and frowned. He didn't know how to take this fire bender.

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

The firebender bend down, while the metal was still hot and unbent the part that Loji had bent. "There. Tell your brother hey for me." He lumbered away from the bench and out of the classroom, his engine done and sitting on the teacher's desk.

---

Eri nudged her, "So I thought you were dating that pro-bender guy, the water bender on the Flying Rabbits or whatever?"

[Little]

Rina snorted. "Yeah, in between his other girlfriends."

***

Nipo nodded. "Thanks. I will."

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

The firebender nodded, disappearing down the hall again.

---

Eri blinked, "No! He was cheating?"

[Little]

Nipo moved and started the engine. He listened as it purred to life. He smiled. Great! Now he could leave before that Earth Bender started trouble.

****

Rina shifted. "Not really cheating. I knew he was dating other girls. He..just wasn't making enough time for me."

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Loji looked over, "Finished are you?" He sneered, "We'll see about that."

---

Eri blinked, "You... You knew he was cheating from the start! Rina!"

[Little]

Nipo frowned. "Can you just go away and leave me alone?" He frowned and picked the engine up to set in the finished spot.

***

Rina blushed. "I thought he'd decide he liked me more and make me his number one girlfriend."

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Loji sneered, "Why? We don't need pathetic non-benders at our school. For all we know, you could be here to spy for Ammon!" He laughed at the possibility.

---

Eri shook her head, "You should know better than that!"

[Little]

Nipo rolled his eyes and ignored him setting the engine down and shoving his hands in his pockets as he started out the door. He wasn't worth it.

****

Rina shrugged. "Yeah well, so I'm not dating him anymore."

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Eri nodded, "Good. And next time you see Loji at bending practice, kick his *ss for me."

---

Loji and his friends laughed, making scary ghost noises and mimicking what they would do if they ever caught a chi-blocker.

[Little]

Nipo sighed as he shut the door. They'd have to be able to catch a chi-blocker first...and Nipo had no intention of revealing himself.

****

Rina looked up as the class let out. "Oh most definately."
