Hey guys! This is my first fanfic so i'm excited to hear what you have to say...So see you at the bottom!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything but the plot

"Korra!" a now distant voice shouted.

I didn't need to be guarded by the White Lotus just to go to the market. I arrived a month ago and Tenzin was still keeping me under his watch and radar. Like I could do that much damage by buying fruits.

Apparently I could. I was lying uncomfortably on top of some guy. (It's not what you think). Naga halted suddenly and threw me off of her back. I looked up and realized why she stopped. There was a huge iron statue of Zuko in the centre of the city. His hands were blazing fire. It was hard to believe that in a past life, he and I built Republic City. I looked down and realized I was still on top of him.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! Are you okay?"

"Well, this is probably the highlight of my day." he said while getting up and adjusting his red scarf.

"I'm Korra…. And this is Naga."

"Your polar-bear dog… that's…wow, oh wow, it's getting late, and Bo must be worried, sorry got to go."

"Wait! I didn't get your name!"

"Mako" he said with a smile and ran off in the direction of the harbour.

Wow, Mako…. Well he was right if I didn't go to the market Tenzin was going to send a search party after me. I hated shopping, why did I volunteer to come? I ditched that idea and started to kick a rock around in Central Park with earthbending. I was trying to keep, me being the avatar on the down-low for a while. Then I saw a familiar red scarf around the neck of someone. I ran towards them expecting the inevitable.

"MA- Oh" I was surprised when a somewhat shorter guy turned around

"Sorry, I thought you were someone else" I turned quickly and walked away when he stopped me

"Sorry to disappoint, but anyways I'm Bolin", he held out a hand which I instinctively shook.

He looked like his hair was flattened; he was somewhat stocky but still very muscular and had bright emerald eyes. Nothing like Mako earlier. Mako was tall and still quite toned and had enticing amber eyes. I got lost in them not realizing Bolin had asked me a question.

"I'm sorry, I started to daydream a little there."

"Well I do have that effect on most people" he said flirtatiously.

I rolled my eyes and smiled back at him.

"So what's a pretty little waterbender doing around here?"

"How'd you kn-" then I realized I was in my water tribe get-up.

He smirked at the fact that he figured me out. Well I had news for him.

"Actually, I'm not just a waterbender…. I'm the Avatar" I smiled with my emphasis on 'avatar' as his jaw dropped.

"You're the AVATAR! The. Avatar. Korra? Wow that's SOO cool! Imagine meeting the avatar in the park!..." and he trailed off in his excitement.

"Uhh… Bolin?"

"Sorry about that…. Oh! You know what would be great, if you joined me and my brother's Pro-bending team!"

"Really? I could join?"

"Of course! I mean you're the avatar! Who better else to be on it!"

I had always dreamed of going to the Pro-bending Arena but never playing on an actual team. I SOOOO do not regret leaving Air Temple Island for this. I had missed another sentence from Bolin.

"So tomorrow for practice?"

"Sure!"

"Great, just wait for me outside the Arena, I'll be the handsome one leaning against the wall" he said with a toss of his hair.

I smiled at his flirtatious ways.

Mako's P.O.V.

"Mako" I said with a smile and ran off in the direction of the harbour.

I wondered if I should've stayed longer and gotten to know her even after our awkward situation. Although those big blue eyes of hers certainly had some effect on me. They were well complimented by her light chocolate brown skin. Oh what was I doing? Thinking of a girl I barely met for five minutes. But every time I closed my eyes all I could see were her blue eyes looking into my amber ones.

I climbed the stairs to our attic apartment and I filled the room with Bolin's name.

"Bolin? Bolin?"

Nothing but an echo. I figured he was out eating or something. I half reconsidered going back to meet Korra but I suspected she'd be long gone. Half an hour later, Bolin strode into the apartment like a lovesick puppy.

"Bolin! Where have you been?"

"Oh nowhere…. just meeting the MOST gorgeous creature on this planet, you know besides me."

I smirked at the irony.

"And you'll never guess this, she's The Avatar and she agreed to be on our team!"

He started to go off into his own little world about her. I wondered if I'd even see Korra again… The blue-eyed beauty.

Loved it? Hated it? Let me Know below! I'm open to all suggestions

Bolin is such a flirt.
