Uploading old stuff. 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

The air was full of the faint musty smell of fresh snow and the pungent odor of urine.&nbsp; There was a creek that was iced over.&nbsp; A male coyote named Paw sniffed the riverbank.&nbsp; A female coyote was lying down near the twisty trees.&nbsp; Her name was Sparkle.&nbsp; Paw put down his, well, front-right paw onto the icy riverbank and it cracked below him.&nbsp; Paw instantly pulled his paw back and shook it off.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Oh, okay then," said Paw, grinning, "Anyhoo..."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "You're not going to jump that," said Sparkle, "why would you?"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Because reasons," said Paw, grinning.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Last time I tried that I fell in," said Sparkle.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Did you not have your awesomeness with you?"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "No."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "That's WHY."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "What does awesomeness have to do with ANYTHING?!" shouted Sparkle.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Well, for one thing, I'm awesome, and you're not."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Prove to me that you're awesome in a way that does not involve you jumping over the creek!"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; But Paw wasn't listening.&nbsp; He got on his haunches, with the cool white snow tickling his underbelly, and leaped into the air.&nbsp; Halfway across the creek he fell like a stone.&nbsp; Paw whimpered as he fell beneath the ice into the water.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sparkle rushed to the creek to save him.&nbsp; 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Luckily, Paw was doggy paddling and was still on the surface.&nbsp; Thinking quickly, Sparkle opened her mouth and bit down on the scruff of his neck, as if he were her own son.&nbsp; It didn't hurt Paw a bit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Soon, Paw was dragged out of the freezing cold water.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Paw shook off right in front of Sparkle.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Typical male," scoffed Sparkle.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Paw was now panting and wagging his tail happily.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "That was fun!" beamed Paw, "and who are you calling typical?"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "You, obviously," remarked Sparkle, "Did you ever stop being a puppy or did your mom drop you on your head?"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Eh, probably," laughed Paw, "Listen, I gotta go get back to my den.&nbsp; My pack is waiting for me.&nbsp; See ya around!&nbsp; Thanks for saving my life!"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; And with that, Paw dashed away through the twisty trees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Little did Sparkle know that they would be seeing more of each other.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
