This was originally completed on November 19th, 2012. A male and female coyote named Paw and Sparkle are sitting on a creek. What will happen? Find out! :3","content":"The air was full of the faint musty smell of fresh snow and the pungent odor of urine.\u0026nbsp; There was a creek that was iced over.\u0026nbsp; A male coyote named Paw sniffed the riverbank.\u0026nbsp; A female coyote was lying down near the twisty trees.\u0026nbsp; Her name was Sparkle.\u0026nbsp; Paw put down his, well, front-right paw onto the icy riverbank and it cracked below him.\u0026nbsp; Paw instantly pulled his paw back and shook it off.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Oh, okay then,\" said Paw, grinning, \"Anyhoo...\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"You're not going to jump that,\" said Sparkle, \"why would you?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Because reasons,\" said Paw, grinning.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Last time I tried that I fell in,\" said Sparkle.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Did you not have your awesomeness with you?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"No.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"That's WHY.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"What does awesomeness have to do with ANYTHING?!\" shouted Sparkle.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Well, for one thing, I'm awesome, and you're not.\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Prove to me that you're awesome in a way that does not involve you jumping over the creek!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; But Paw wasn't listening.\u0026nbsp; He got on his haunches, with the cool white snow tickling his underbelly, and leaped into the air.\u0026nbsp; Halfway across the creek he fell like a stone.\u0026nbsp; Paw whimpered as he fell beneath the ice into the water.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Sparkle rushed to the creek to save him.\u0026nbsp; She had only just met the male 'yote, and although he was acting like a jerk of an omega she couldn't bear to see him die.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Luckily, Paw was doggy paddling and was still on the surface.\u0026nbsp; Thinking quickly, Sparkle opened her mouth and bit down on the scruff of his neck, as if he were her own son.\u0026nbsp; It didn't hurt Paw a bit.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Soon, Paw was dragged out of the freezing cold water.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Paw shook off right in front of Sparkle.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Typical male,\" scoffed Sparkle.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Paw was now panting and wagging his tail happily.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"That was fun!\" beamed Paw, \"and who are you calling typical?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"You, obviously,\" remarked Sparkle, \"Did you ever stop being a puppy or did your mom drop you on your head?\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \"Eh, probably,\" laughed Paw, \"Listen, I gotta go get back to my den.\u0026nbsp; My pack is waiting for me.\u0026nbsp; See ya around!\u0026nbsp; Thanks for saving my life!\"\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; And with that, Paw dashed away through the twisty trees.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Little did Sparkle know that they would be seeing more of each other.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
