Hey there people! I finally got my new laptop, and got to edit this to the point that it's probably similar to the original, maybe even better.

So any questions you may have once you start reading, be free to PM it or leave it in a review, and I'll answer it for you in the next chapter, if it doesn't regard something that will happen in a future chapter.

Also, if you saw the cover I designed it myself, and I do own it.

Disclaimer: I do not own Legend of Korra.


I'm Mako Silverton, and let's just say I'm way famous. I'm twenty-four years old, I live in Hollywood, California, and I'm a professional boxer. I've boxed for about ten years, but my career as a pro boxer took off about four years ago. Even though I'm still pretty new to being in a ring with other pro boxers I'm so freaking famous. I knew I'd be famous, but I didn't know I'd be this famous this quick. I have two theories on why I'm so famous. One, I'm young and attractive. And two, I've had like eighteen matches in the last four years and I won sixteen out of the eighteen. I forgot to mention that my stage name is Silver Hammer when I'm in the ring.

On to another topic though. My life dramatically changed when I turned twenty, but I honestly don't know if it was for the better or for the worst.

Mako's POV

So I was sitting on my couch like a person with no life watching my huge sixty inch TV. I was supposed to be at the gym training for matches like all other boxers did, but I was too lazy to go. I wasn't usually a lazy person, but I just wanted to act like a normal person for once. Toza, my trainer, was probably going to be pissed at me, but I could've cared less. I then heard my iPhone start to vibrate.

I readjusted myself so I was in the sitting position, and grabbed my iPhone from the coffee table in front of me. It was a text from my brother, Bolin. I was hoping it wasn't another one of those annoying texts that says he found "the one" again. I loved Bolin, but seriously, he needed to keep his relationships to himself. Surprisingly the text wasn't about a girl.

It read, bro i'm coming over 4 a while. i gotta a surprise 4 u.

So the text wasn't about a girl, but a surprise for me. Great, I thought. His surprises weren't always great. There was nothing good on TV so I got up off my couch, and went over to my movie rack.

I had a wide variety of movies. I didn't really feel like looking through them all so I just picked a random one. I grabbed the disk of out the holder and put it in the DVD player. I walked back over to my couch and started fast forwarding through the damn previews. Those got so annoying sometimes. It wasn't until I got to that main menu thing that I realized what movie I picked. Of course.

The movie was about a teenage girl, Roxy, who lived with her father, Michael. Roxy was always at after school practice for field hockey, basketball, and soccer, depending on the season and Michael was always running his mechanics. Even though they didn't see each other much they had a great relationship. The mother she had abandoned them ten years ago on Roxy's birthday. They never saw or heard from her again, but her actions left them both heartbroken and hating her after a while. I forget what the actual plot was so I'll explain that later.

Anyway, the problem was the actress who played Roxy. And no, it wasn't because she was a horrible actress, she was amazing, it's because the actress was Karina Menzler also known as her stage name Ice Dragon. I guessed that she got that stage name because she had piercing cerulean eyes like the shade of ice, and because she was fierce like a dragon. Anyway, Karina was only twenty-two, but she had already starred in like three big movie productions, co-starred in one, guest starred on various TV shows, and did some commercials. She wasn't even out of college! She was a prodigy.

"Mako! Where are you?" Bolin screamed out into my huge house. I forgot to mention I had a pretty big house. Four bedrooms, two and half bathes, nice living room, dining room, and kitchen. Two stories and a nice backyard. Don't ask why I had a large house when no one else lived with me.

Back to the subject of Bolin though. "Living room," I answered for him. I heard his loud footsteps coming in.

"Bro, you have to see this!" he exclaimed as he threw something on my lap.

I looked down to see a Pop Star magazine. As soon as I sat that I was wondering why the hell Bolin had a Pop Star magazine. "Bo, what does a Pop Star magazine have to do with this so called surprise you have for me?"

"Dude, page ten, it's all about Karina Menzler."

I opened up the magazine to page ten to see a picture of her in an amazing mid-thigh, strapless, blue cocktail dress with her hair down. The caption explained it was the dress she wore for the premiere of her newest movie. There were like five questions below and her answering each one and one was circled with a marker. I knew why Bolin said it was a surprise.

The question he circled asked if she was crushing on someone, and of course she said yes. It read, Yes, I am crushing on someone. I highly doubt he even knows my existence though. We're halfway across the US. I'm here in Florida for the moment doing school work and movies while he's over in the west coast somewhere. I'll say he's famous, but who I'm crushing on is confidential.

I couldn't believe what I was reading. It just made me so furious. I had a major crush on her. I knew her for about six years. Not personally, but online. She had her own YouTube channel, and had it ever since she was like sixteen. I had accidentally stumbled upon it, but it was one of my best mistakes ever. She was so beautiful, and as an FYI she wasn't famous when she was sixteen. She was just an ordinary teen going to a performing arts school.

"Bolin, it doesn't matter," I plainly told him. He knew I had a crush on her, but I always pretended I didn't. I closed the magazine and threw it on the coffee table.

"Then what would you say about a new video on her YouTube channel saying she's moving to California?"

I refocused my glare at him wondering what he was talking about. "What do you mean? She's in Florida attending some college."

"Not according to her newest video."

As soon as he said that I opened up my laptop that was also on my coffee table. I quickly typed in YouTube and her screen name which was icegirl27. There was a new video entitled Location Change. I quickly clicked on it, and one of those damn ads appeared. Soon enough she was on the screen and she was screaming at someone.

"Dakota, I told you what I'm doing. Wait, did you start recording?"

"Yeah."

"Crap, cut this scene out before you post this on my channel. Hey viewers, as you know I'm Karina Menzler and I recently starred in my newest movie called Courage. I also recently finally finished college. You wouldn't believe how hard it was to balance out school and work. Anyway, you guys are probably wondering about the caption above. It's true! I'm moving. I'm moving to Hollywood, California in about a month."

I paused the video right there. She was moving to Hollywood, where I lived. It was stupid, but it was making my heart beat faster. This was probably the real surprise that Bolin was giving to me. I had to face the facts because we were never going to meet each other! What were the odds of a famous, beautiful, actress like her actually meeting a boxer like me? I said slim to none.

"Bro, she's moving to Hollywood! You could actually meet her and get to know her!" I don't know why Bolin had some sort of obsession with me actually meeting her. I guessed it was because he wanted me to be happy for once.

"Bolin, it's never going to happen. She's a famous actress while I'm just a boxer. She can have any man in the world," I pointed out uninterested with his optimism. I closed my laptop, not even wanting to hear the rest of the video.

"You need to stop pushing past it and face it! Mako, you've like her even before she became famous! She became truly famous when she turned seventeen. You had a one year head start! Why don't you just become friends with her when she moves here? I'm pretty sure you can find her address once she moves here."

"Highly doubtful, Bolin. Right now the world only knows that she lives in Colorado with her uncle and her two cousins. Her pages barely have any personal information about her so I most likely will never meet her in person." On the inside I was hoping that Bolin was actually right for once. I had to meet Karina Menzler one day.


Hi, I'm Karina Menzler. My real name is Korra McIce, but I don't go by that in this world. Everyone, except my friends and family, know me as Karina or by my stage name Ice Dragon. So I guess I have two stage names. I'm twenty-two years old and I just recently finished college. Don't ask why I had to go to college when I'm a famous actress.

My life seriously isn't that great. I mean I love acting in these movies and other entertainment shows, but I hate that this world doesn't know the true me. I lied about most of my life to the paparazzi, but I just couldn't tell them the truth. I lost my parents when I was ten, but not in the way most people would think. Ever since then my life's been a…how do I describe it? Amazing because of my acting career, but horrible because of my personal struggles.

Korra's POV

I had just finished making a new video for my channel telling the world that I was moving to Hollywood, and my uncle and I had a complete scream fest about me moving to California. For pity's sake I was twenty-two years old, and a legal adult. Oh, and don't even get me started when I got a tattoo on each of my wrists. I think the whole neighborhood heard our argument over them. Back to the situation about California. I had decided to move there because there was lots of business there, and other reasons.

I was sitting in my old bedroom with my friend, Dakota. We'd been friends for, I don't know how long. My uncle along with Dakota's father ran a restaurant in town that was pretty popular, it used to my parents'. Anyway, we were pretty wealthy, well actually her father and my uncle were rich. I was also rich, but I helped some charities and organizations, sometimes.

Dakota was reading my Pop Magazine in which I got my own page in. I mean it wasn't that big of a deal. There was like ten pages worth of One Direction posters and comments. Geez!

"Korra, come on seriously you should've just told the press you love Mako Silverton!"

I had a crush on him, but I could never truly admit to Dakota that I liked him. "Dakota, I've told you a million times, I do not love Mako Silverton," I defended, but I couldn't help the blush I felt heat my cheeks.

"Then explain this." She pointed to the poster that I had on my wall behind her. Ok, I had that poster ever since he became famous. He was shirtless, wearing his boxing gloves, and wearing his silver shorts that read SILVERTON across the waistband of it in red letters. "Why do you have a poster of Mako shirtless, in your room? I mean you had the chance to throw it away when you decided to move back here for a while."

I hated it when she had to prove me wrong. "I uhh…" I started while rubbing the back of my neck.

"Exactly my point. Korra, you like him, and you're a horrible liar about it even though you're an actress. You should go to one of his matches once you move to Hollywood."

"Don't you have to go to your job at the restaurant?"

She got her phone out of her pocket and a look of surprise entered her face. "Holy crap! I'll see you later," she dismissed quickly then left.

I sighed as she left before looking at the poster of Mako. I don't know why, but there was just something about him that made him so attractive. I don't know why, but I smiled at the poster. The truth was that I did wish to meet him someday. I kind of wished he was my…boyfriend or friend at least, but I highly doubted that would ever happen. Probably thousands of other girls had a crush on him even though boxing wasn't that popular. What were the odds of him actually noticing me?

And…that's my story idea! So should I continue? If I should, drop a review, follow, or favorite. It just lets me know that some people enjoyed the story. And sorry this doesn't sound like the summary at all! This was just a prologue.

So if you guys like it and I decided to make another chapter, I'll most likely update Friday night or Saturday morning. See you later : )
