Ohiyo, friends! So…I'm writing a prologue, you don't have to read it, it's basically background info about Kika. So her lineage, how she met Korra, and the like.

Disclaimer: I don't own LoK.

And that's why I'll never, ever go looking for magical sea monsters-

Oh, what? Oh, hi! I didn't see you there~ I'm Kalika, but my friends and family call me Kika. I tend to talk a lot, sometimes I'm known to ramble, but I feel it's important for you to know a little about me before you start reading the rest of the story. I have an older brother, Adam, and a twin sister, Lalita. My father is Pochi and my mother goes by Sita.

I remember when my mother first took me to meet my grandmother. She had warned me beforehand that her mother wasn't the most stable of people, but I don't think I really listened to her, so she took me to the prison where my grandma was held. I remember how the first time she saw me…she tried to kill me. Oh, the laughs!

The guards had let us go right by them; apparently my mother had a habit of visiting my grandma. We approached the bars, and I saw an old woman with unevenly cut dark hair with dull gold eyes. But not like honey gold, because that's a nice color, and my grandmother was apparently not nice. It was more like a rusty trophy-gold. Anyway, back to the story. She didn't notice us at first as she was staring at a wall, cursing someone called Zuko and about how stupid the avatar was.

"Mama?" my mother called out quietly.

The old woman's head snapped up and her eyes landed on me and they narrowed. She bared her teeth and let loose a feral growl. "Who's that, daughter? What have I told you about trusting people that aren't you?" she demanded, standing up.

"Now, mama, listen a moment-"

"NO! You listen, you unruly child, I raised you! I gave you life! The least you should do is be unconditionally loyal to me! You insolent peasant!"

"Yo, mommeh~ is this my Grandmama…mama…ma…" I grinned, waving excitedly.

"Do not address me as a peasant such as yourself!" she roared, breathing blue fire at me. My mother stepped in front of me and diminished the flame, glaring at her mother.

"She's my daughter, Mama," my mother said, her voice harsh. "She's of your blood."

"Ah, but who's the other?" she replied, her eyes twinkling mirthlessly. "I bet he did not know that you were the daughter of the estranged princess of the Fire Nation!"

"Mother, it's not something to be proud of," my mom muttered, rubbing her forehead.

"I'm confused…" I added, beginning to twirl before I crashed into the bars. "Woops~ He-he…"

"What's wrong with her?" Azula asked, shooting me looks that clearly said, she's insane.

"I'm sure the apple didn't fall far from the tree," my mother said quietly. "Anyway, I'll be back sometime again, mother. Kalika has to get on with her story…I mean, Kalika has to feed the platypus bears."

So there's that story! Now…How I met the avatar…

My father told me about how my grandfather, long since passed, bless his soul, had a tendency to foam at the mouth. No one knew what was actually wrong with him, but when he would get exceedingly happy, he's foam at the mouth and collapse onto the ground. He was most known for it on Kyoshi Island in the presence of the avatar at that time, Aang. Apparently, it was genetic, and every time my father saw my mother, he would foam at the mouth. And my mother, always the lover of the unusual, asked him to marry her.

Which leads me to how I met Korra. It was a mildly warm evening in Republic City and I was walking through the town idly. I realized that I was hungry. And I had to pee, but we won't get into that. So I was really hungry and I went to one of those stands on the side of the road that sold some sort of meat on a stick, and I was standing behind a girl which caramel colored skin, brown hair, and was dressed in Water Tribe garb. She was ordering basically two of everything with her polar bear dog, but when the guy asked her to pay, she began sheepish and meekly said that she didn't have any money.

The man glared and tried to kick her out, but I stepped up, waving to the man, since he seemed vaguely familiar. Don't you hate when that happens? Like you know someone, but you can't place a name with the face? Oh, sorry, back to the story. "Ohiyooo~ friend!" I greeted, handing over a sack of money to the man. "I'm paying for her."

"Ah, Kika, I didn't know you had a water-tribe friend," the man smiled.

I frowned, staring at the man. "Who…who are you!?" I demanded, taking the food from him quickly.

"I…I'm you second cousin," he said quickly, sweat dropping.

"Oh…sorry, Frank-"

"It's Danny," he interrupted.

"Tomato, tomartre," I waved him off. "Bye~ Come, friend, let us depart to eat…food…that I just bought…for a complete…stranger…"

"Thanks for that, you saved me from a whole lot of trouble!" the girl thanked me, smiling widely.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, no problem," I grinned, handing her the bag. "You don't look familiar. You're not from around here, are you?"

"What tipped you off?" she laughed. "The dark skin? Or the water-tribe outfit?"

"Uh…I'm not sure," I shrugged. "What brings you to Republic City…er…uh…"

"Korra," she offered.

I nodded. "I'm Kika. Okay, so…what brings you to Republic City, Korra?"

"I'm actually supposed to be on that island over there," she said, pointing it out as she took a bite of the food. "But Tenzin's such a stick in the mud…"

"Eh? Eh?" I gasped, eyes widening. "But…eh? You…Ah! Avatar! Nyaaa! Eh? Brrrrbhhhh…"

And the next thing I knew, I was lying on the ground, Korra standing above me with a worried look on her face. "Do you think she's alright, Naga?" she asked her polar bear dog.

I blinked, lifting my arm up slowly to rub my eyes. "What…happened?" I groaned.

"Well, you started foaming at the mouth and then you collapsed…" she said, giving me a strange look.

"And here I thought the gene had passed over me…" I chuckled. "Well, let's hope I don't do that every time I see you."

"He-he…yeah…" she replied. "Well, Tenzin's probably worried. Thanks for the food!"

"No problem!" I called back to her as she jogged away. Once she was out of sight, it dawned on me that I was still hungry, and I used all my money on her food. "Ah, monkey feathers…guess I'm getting food from home."

After that, Korra and I spent more time together and actually became close friends. Now it's only occasionally that I'll foam at the mouth when I see her.

When she joined the Fire Ferrets, a probending team, she invited me over to watch them practice, and she always gave me complementary tickets to see her matches. And when I met Tahno? Well…it was kind of like meeting Korra all over again, and he never spoke to me again, since he thought I was a weirdo, foaming at the mouth and passing out and all.

My point is Korra and I became really close friends, which is why she invited me to her home town in the Southern Water Tribe, which puts us at a perfect place to stop and give you the first chapter.

Wow…that update took a little bit of forever, ne? Anyways, there it is. The next chapter will be up within the year because I make no promises concerning my update pattern.

Anyways, loves and hugs, minions!

Yours psychotically,

Vee
