the once and future avatar an ember island production
part 1 opening night
republic citys entertainment district was abuzz with activity. the pro bending arena which had been converted into a mover house was completly swarmed with reporters, cameramen, and crowds of formally dressed people.
other citizens were outside the front entrance standing parrelel on both sides to a long red carpet that made its way to the doors. this was a momentous occasion for not only did tonight mark the first major full length mover to be shown in theathers. it had also been one year since avatar korra defeated kuvira and saved the united republic. and what better way to mark the occasion then a mover detailing the life and adventures of the avatar and her friends.
inside the stadium a premiere party was being held among the party goers which included some of republic citys most influential and wealthy citizens and president raiko was korra herself along with asami. both of them were dressed in the same gowns they had worn for varrick and zhu lis wedding asami had her arm around korras.
"can you believe this turn out?!" asami said "there wasnt even this many people at the nuktuk finale and that was a huge event"
"i can believe it" said korra who then narrowed her eyes to scan the room until finally she made recognition and smiled
"there they are!" said korra she raised her hand and waved it and called across the room
"bolin! mako! opal! over here!"
bolin mako and opal made their way to korra and asami. like them they were dressed in the same outfits they wore for the wedding with opal wearing an airbenders cloak much like tenzins over her usual flight suit she had her hand on bolins back.
"im so glad you guys could make it!" asami said
"wouldnt miss it for the world" said mako
"this must be so exciting for you korra!" beamed opal "i mean to have a mover based on yourself if i was in your shoes i dont think id be able to contain myself!"
just as korra was about to awnser she was interrupted by a familier yet annoying voice.
"heey! theres my favorite avatar!"
she turned it was a young man dressed in formal earth kingdom attire he had long hair that had been styled into braids he was also sporting a small goatee and a pair green sunglasses.
"asami! looking fashionable as always mako my main man! bolin hows it hanging buddy! and miss beifong"
the young man walks over to opal and kisses her hand much to bolins shock and her surprise.
"charmed im sure!"
korra and the others looked perplexed
"im sorry have we met before?" said korra
"oh come on how could you have forgotten me its only been what a year? its me wu ya know former crown prince of the earth kingdom?!"
korra and her friends are aghast at this revelation especially mako. none of them could hardly believe what became of the soft big eared stick figure they had met over a year ago.
"wu?! said korra " i cant beleive it i didnt even recognize you! how have things been last time we met you planned to establish democracy in the earth kingdom hows that been going?
"well ill tell ya its a lot more difficult than being king but i can handle it sides its time i start pulling my own weight"
"thats very responsible of you" said asami
" thanks that means alot and bolin i see youve got a date tonight! "you can say that again" bolin said and opal smiled.
"so korra who are you with tonight you and mako back together?"wu asked
"no im with asami now" she said
"oh..OH! wu said a little startled "i didnt know you two were... so can you beleive this! wu said changing the subject you know this is my first mover and what better way to celebrate than with my besties huh? and look" wu reached into his coat pocket and pulled out six tickets.
"i got us box seats best in the house"
korra and the others looked embarassed
"whats wrong?" asked wu
"it was very generous of you to get those tickets for us but its just we all kind of planned to sit together in the front row" said korra
"oh" said wu a little disappointed
"were really sorry" said asami
"its cool i mean i did have to go through a lot of hoops to get these but what the hey" said wu the others looked at eachother with guilt bolin spoke up.
"hey hey dont be that way! im sure theres lots of people who'd jump at this oppurtunity"
"oh yeah like who?" asked wu
"like me!" said a voice from behind the gang everyone turned and saw varrick who was dressed in formal water tribe attire accompanying him dress in an elegant white dress was his wife and former assistant zhu li
"nice to see you again everyone" said zhu li
varrick walked over to wu and snatched two of the seven tickets "yoink" zhu li looked at him contemputiosly
"what? you heard him hes just giving these away sides shouldnt the co producer get the best seat"
"well your more than welcome to it" said wu
varrick turned to his wife "ok im gonna go grab us our seats do the thing will you" varrick turned an headed into the theathre mako turned to zhu li
" what did he mean by that?"
"oh you know grab as many cocktails and orderves as i can and sneak them into the theathre" said zhu li who then turned toward the buffet table.
" well that takes care of two but what about the other three?" said wu.
"i think you mean the other one" a voice said everyone turned and standing in the center of the room were desna and eska eska flashed bolin a sharp look and bolin shuddered a little and hid behind opal.
" desna eska what are you doing here"? asked korra
"you think we would miss our own cousins mover?" said desna
"besides its a nice break from the monotony of ruling the northern water tribe" said eska who took two more tickets from wu
" i thought the cheif and cheiftess of the northern tribe would have their own box" said wu
"we do" said eska "but its a lot less boring to sit with others" said desna who took his ticket and went inside eska soon followed but not before stopping to talk to bolin who was no longer hiding in behind opal
"hello eska" he said eska nodded and turned to opal
"i see youve got yourself a new girlfriend" she said
opal smiled and extended her hand to eska
"its so nice to finally meet you im opal"
"i know who you are" said eska who took opals hand not only shaking it but also pulled herself close to her she whispered in opals ear
"remember i saw him first!"
opal shuddered eska withdrew herself and followed after her brother into the theather opal took bolins hand
"man eskas a fox" said wu bolin how could you have dumped her?
just as bolin was about to awnser opal grabbed his hand pracitaclly squeezing it
"come on bolin lets get to the buffet before all the good stuff gets taken"
opal said in a huff who then left for the buffet table nearly dragging bolin with her the others chuckled makos face then lit up.
"hey wu why dont you give my grandma the final ticket i invited her here ad im sure shed love sitting with you!
wu smiled "great idea after all she is my biggest fan" wu then left to look for her.
just then somebody shouted hey look everybody their here! all the people in the lobby started started rushing towards the doors. korra and her friends followed suit they saw what everyone was so excited about the actors for the mover were only now making their way down the red carpet the entire lobby descended into cacophany there were meet and greets, autographs, photo ops the works korra and her friends just stood to the side not wanting to get tangled up in the whole affair.
