Disclaimer Thing... Um, am I supposed to say I don't own Avatar: the Legend of Korra. I was never really sure about this... Well I don't own Avatar: the Legend of Korra so I guess I'll just put this here anyway. Doesn't usually hurt to be overly cautious...


183 ASC:

The moment Avatar Korra let out her last breath. The new Avatar breathed in his first one.

188 ASC:

Reed was sitting in a tree outside because he was bored and mommy was busy. He wasn't too mad at her, she was his mommy.

Even though she told him she couldn't teach him how to earthbend, "because she was a waterbender". Even though she had tried to replace his daddy with Garen.

Garen was okay, he guessed. He's nice but really weird. With his huge bushy eyebrows and big poofy hair, Garen was more crazy uncle looking than daddy looking.

But Reed couldn't remember his daddy, so he didn't really know what a daddy was supposed to look like. All Reed knew about daddies were that they were nice and big and strong and...

What was it that Issa in his class said about his daddy? "My daddy is teaching me bending!"

Yeah, he remembered now, daddies can teach bending. If mommy thought Garen would be a good daddy, then maybe he can teach me bending...

"Yeah! I'm gonna ask him!" As soon as he got out of the tree...

"Ow..." He whined as he landed on the ground.

"Garen!" He called as he ran towards the house as fast as he could. "Garen!" He called again as he opened the door to the house and ran inside. "Gar-" He stopped yelling as he ran straight into Garen's legs.

"Reed, wait have we told you about running in the house?"

"NottodoitbutGarencanyouteachmebending!" Having no idea what was just said, Garen said. "Slow down kid, breath..."

As he led the kid to the couch he continued. "Good, now what is it you wanted?"

"Can you teach me how to earthbend!?" Looking down into the kids big brown eyes he wondered, why did he have to be the one to explain this?

"Reed, I'm not an earthbender I'm just a regular guy. I can't teach you how to earthbend." At the disappointed face that Reed made he said, "look kid sometimes you gotta work with what you got. You've got an excellent waterbending mom and kick-butt stepdad, so what if you don't have a teacher, you learn from what you have."

Wide-eyed Reed stared at him before yelling, "Then I'll be the best earthbender in the world and learn all by myself!"

Floored that the kid had no idea what he was talking about he could only stand there as Reed rushed from the room. "Wha... That's not what I meant at all." He mumbled before pouting, when suddenly his wife giggled from the kitchen.

"Y-you were watching that? The whole time?" She nodded, "Yeah, I especially liked the part where the grown man pouted like a toddler. But I still love the fact that you two are bonding."

He looked at her bewildered. "Faith! How was that bonding? I love the kid like my own son but he confuses me so much..." She smiled at him and said,

"You two are more similar than you think."
