Chapter one
"Mako hurry up it looks perfect." Bollin whines to his brother. "Pobo is hungry and so is the rest of us." "Seriously Mako it looks great, now can we go." Korra pushes her boyfriend to finish his art work for the night. "Guys I am almost done I promise. I just need to set a few more parts on fire, blow and then I will be done. So just hold your horses, will ya?" grumbles Mako. Currently Mako was working on his first art work for his senior year of college and all his projects had to be perfect if he wanted to get a job at a really good school molding and inspiring the minds of art students before they enter the world of college.
"Mako come on! Its 12:30am and the Union (cafeteria) closes at 1, and I want to get there before they run out of Reese's Puffs." sigh Korra. "Relax Korra, we will get there before they run out of Reese's Puffs. Besides if they are out I'm sure Bollin can sweet talk that girl that works the night shift into getting you some. What was her name again?" Mako asks. At herring the words girl that works the night shift Bollin suddenly perks up. "Opal! Aw Opal is so pretty. Her hair looks so soft and she's so niiiicccceeeee." Bollin rambles dreamily on and on about Opal until he is cut short with a fit a laughter coming from Korra and Mako. "Bo you're so whipped and you're not even dating the girl yet." Mako laughs. "Yeah Bo where's your dress because she is defiantly going to wear the pants." Korra interjects. "Awww come on guys you have each other and now I finally find one that I think I really like and you're going to give me grief about it." says Bollin sadly. "Sorry Bo. It has been along time now that you have been our third wheel and we didn't realize how much a toll it was taking on you. We support you in your quest to get the girl!" Korra says apologetically but changes her voice to sound like a knight towards the end. "Yeah Bo, we are really sorry." Mako apologizes. "Oh guys its no big deal and I don't feel like your third wheel. We are family. Have always been family and always will be. So lets go get the girl. Huzzah!" Bollin says enthusiastically going back to his happy self but is shot down when Mako starts working again.

"Ok guys I'm finally finished. So what do you think?" asked Mako. Mako may not be good at painting or printmaking but when it comes to sculptures and manipulating flames to create the patterns he wants on a canvas or three-dimensional work he is a genius. Bollin and Korra look around the piece in a state of Awww. There was no doubt that Mako was the one to beat in the three-dimensional field at Republic University. Mako had taken sheets of metal, cut them, and shaped them into a circular form that looked like fire was all round the invisible sphere. Once he created the form he used fire to give the metal wisps of changing color in the metal to let it be know that not only did it look like fire but it had also been touched by fire. "It looks amazing Mako." said Korra. Bollin was left speechless in a world of his own. Thinking of how he could make his clay work stand out in the sea of students just like his brother has. Mako takes his brothers lack of words as a compliment and terns to them both and says, "Aww thanks guys. Now we better hurry because the Union closes in 20 min and we got to get Korra her Reese's Puffs."
…..
With that the three of them was out of the art building and running to the union. They arrive at the Union with in three minutes because of their race, with Korra winning of corse. "Hey it's not fair Korra, not all of us can be All-Star athletes as well as All-Star artist." whined Mako. "Hey they don't call me the Avatar for nothing and I said last one there would be a sitting turtle duck." Korra retorted smiling at her boyfriend and his brother. "What…. Is….A…..Turtle…Duck….. Anyway?" Bollin enunciates trying to catch his breath. "It's a mix between a turtle and a duck but they aren't real. Gran Gran used to say I was a turtle duck when I was a kid and I guess it just stayed with me." explains Korra. Mako and Bollin chocks it up to Korra's Alaskan heritage and lets it go.
With that the three of them make their way into the sitting area of the Union. After finding a seat (not like it was hard given the time) they dropped their stuff and made their way to the food. As they were walking up Korra catches a glimpse of tall long ravin hair girl talking to Opal. Just as they were about to make it to opal the girl walks away to find a seat. Korra jumps in line first and asks Opal for a bowl of Reese's Puffs. At this time the most of the Union is closed down so to get food you have to ask the people working to make you it or get it for you. "Oh Korra I am so sorry but the school doesn't have Reese's Puffs anymore." Opal says quietly knowing how much Korra loves Reese's Puffs and secretly hopping Korra wont make a scene. "What! What will I do without my Reese's Puffs? I only eat Reese's Puffs when I work late at the studio. They are my surgery life line! Please bring them back!" Korra now down on her knees begging to the heavens to bring back her Reese's Puffs. "We still have Coco Puffs." Opal says trying to uplift her friend in front of her. "They are not the same Opal." says a sadden Korra. Korra quickly looks up when she hears small giggles coming from the seating area. Korra then gets up to go to where the giggles were coming from to give the person laughing at her a piece of her mind. With in seconds Korra is at the single occupant's table, she is about to tell the ravin hair girl from earlier to stop laughing at her and her love for Reese's Puffs when the girl looks up. Bright emerald eyes meet Korra's azure eyes and everything that Korra was about to say escapes her mind leaving her stunned. She stands there for a few minutes staring at her until the blushing emerald eyed girl clears her throat, as if asking why Korra was there. "Um…I…I wa…was wondering if you wanted to to sit with us sense….sense you know your alone." Korra stutters rubbing that back of her head. "Oh…um… sure why not." the girl answers as she gets up to gather her things. "My names Korra whats yours?" Korra asks to make small talk while waiting. The girl looks up at the now blushing Korra and answers, "My name is Asami."
