"There's always that one person...That will always have your heart..."
Mako and Bolin were outside sparring with each other. The Earthbender looked up and noticed there was someone moving next door. His brother took advantage of his distraction and threw a fireball that hit him right on the chest, making him land on his rear. The younger brother scowled as he cleaned his pants while his older brother was laughing at him.
"You think they have kids?" he asked turning his attention to the new neighbors again. Mako shrugged.
"Don't know, don't really care," he replied.
"Hopefully he's a Waterbender, that way we can have a complete team," the Earthbender continued. His brother thought about it for a moment.
"I suppose," he replied. Bolin saw a big white fur ball head towards them and he immediately ran while his brother gave him a puzzled look. When he turned he was knocked to the ground by a polarbear dog that licked him right across the face.
"Get it off me!" the Firebender yelled trying to cover his face from the lick attacks of the animal. Instead of helping him, his younger brother was on the floor clutching his stomach while crying of laughter.
"Naga, stop!" they heard someone scream. The polarbear quickly got off the boy and ran to the girl who was walking towards them.
"Is that yours?" the eldest asked hints of annoyance in his voice. She nodded.
"Sorry, she usually doesn't do that," the girl replied rubbing the animal behind its ears.
"Well it better not do that again," he warned. The girl raised a brow before turning to look at her pet.
"Naga, you are not to attack-um," she stopped for a moment. "Whatever his name is," she added pointing at the boy.
"Are you moving next door?" the Earthbender asked. She nodded. "We're your neighbors. This is my brother Mako, and I'm Bolin," he added stretching a hand out.
"Korra," the girl replied shaking his hand. "This is Naga."
"Nice to meet you Naga," the boy replied earning a lick from the fluffy animal. He laughed. "We have a pet too, his name is Pabu, and he's a fire ferret."
"Cool!" Korra replied. "Maybe they can play sometime, Naga used to get lonely in the South Pole."
"You're from the South Pole?" Mako asked folding his arms. She nodded.
"What made you come to Republic City?" his brother asked.
"Uh, business I guess," she replied wearily.
"Your dad has a business here?"
"Umm, well not exactly."
"Can you bend?" Bolin asked seeing her nervousness. She grinned and nodded. "Sweet! Do you know what this means, Mako?" he added looking at his brother.
The Firebender rolled his eyes and nodded while his brother jumped upon and down. Korra gave them a puzzled look.
"Calm down, Bo," he said before turning to look at the girl. "Are you a Waterbender?"
The girl smiled. "Yes."
"How old are you?"
"Eight and you?"
"Nine. My brother is seven."
"Why is he so excited that I'm a Waterbender?"
"Because we can be a Pro Bending team now!" Bolin answered for his brother.
"Wait, Bo, we don't even know if she can bend properly. She might be a rookie," Mako interjected. Korra raised a brow and clenched her fists.
"I'll have you know, I'm a master on my element," she said through her teeth.
"Oh, yeah? Prove it," he replied with a cocky grin. The Waterbender narrowed her eyes at him. He had messed with the wrong girl.
"Bring it, Pretty Boy," she said going into her stance.
