It was five when they finished. Korra had peed all of six times in three hours. "Let's eat!" excalaimed Bolin. The other two fire ferrets agreed and hurried up to the loft for food. There was nothing. Korra pulled out the money she had earned from working at the power company for a month. "Let's get udon" She suggested. "It's on me" "YEAH!" Bolin agreed.
As they ate their noodles Bolin asked. "So. How did Tenzin take it?" He asked. Korra shrugged. "He yelled for the first bit, them calmed down. Honestly wasn't too bad, though he said that he wanted to have a talk with Mako, so I think he might be saving some of the anger for him." Mako cringed. Tenzin mad was a rare but formidable thing. After eating they walked back to the stadium to get ready for the match at seven.
While they got ready Korra noticed that the pants on her uniform were a little tight and sighed.
The team waited in silence and pre match hype for their turn in the arena. Finally the stadium announcer called out "And last, but certainly not least, the FIIIIIIIRE FERRETS!"
Korra took her place beside Mako and faced the rat monkeys. The bell rang. It was almost immediately noticeable that the other teams earth bender had it out for her as he sent vicious and unfailing attacks at her way. She dodged them with care and sent the occasional attacks toward him when she could spare it. Suddenly a "FWAP!" rang out and all three benders on the other team sent attacks her way. She was in the drink before she even knew what hit her. She saw Tenzin in the crowd on her way up the platform. Lin and Jinora were with him. She supposed Pema had opted out. He looked concerned, sos he flashed hima smile and a thumbs up to let him know that she was okay. Mako and Bolin sent all three members of the other team into the water and Korra stepped back into the ring. "You okay?" Mako called out to her. "Takes more than that to take me out of the running!" She yelled back ove the stadium roar. The match bell rang. Korra decided to take the offensive agaisnt the earth bender before he could pick up his pace again. She sent everything his way andeffectively knocked him out of the ring. Then she helped with the water bender Bolin was struggling with.
Round two went to them.
Round three they encountered some trouble. The other teem was seething at having been embarrassed so completely twice already. They put the fire ferrets into the drink quickly.
On round four they got a lucky break. The other team was too cocky from their win in the previous round and were easily defeated. "And the Fire ferrets take the win!" The commentator said. Korra smiled victoriously and high fived Bolin and Mako. The three then headed for the dressing room to change and revel in their victory. Korra smiled as she changed. The win was a good one, the other team had had an undefeated season before this. Once she and the team were ready they stepped out to meet Tenzin, Jinora, and Lin, who were waiting in the hallway. Korra slipped her hand into Mako's. "I love you" She said. He gave a small smile. "I love you too"
