I rode Kavi up the huge mansion driveway. I jumped off his back and we stood flabbergasted. We were in front of the Sato estate; this place was bigger than the whole White Lotus Compound in the South Pole! I nervously knocked on the door. We waited for a minute, and then Asami answered the door.
"Hey Kalani!" She said very excited. She looked at Kavi, then me.
"Hey, oh! Sorry. Asami this is Kavi, My Polar Leopard."
"Oh, ok. I don't think the maids will appreciate him in the house, but he can stay out back."
"Yeah sure, Kavi go ahead." He whined a little but then proceeded to the back.
"Great, now c'mon let's get started." Asami pulled my arm and dragged me across the whole mansion then into her room.
Her room was huge! I stood there speechless. Luckily I didn't have to say anything.
"Okay, you stay right here, I have the perfect dress." Asami ran into her closet. I waited for about five minutes then Asami came back in holding two garment bags. "Here, this one is yours. " She handed me one of them. I open the bag and it was a simple black sleeveless dress. I thought it was stunning.
"Oh my god… thank you Asami." I said giving her a hug.
"It's not a problem. C'mon let's get ready." We put on the dresses and started doing our hair and make-up. As Asami was helping me with mine we started talking. "So, how long have you known Korra?"
"For as long as I can remember, her parents took me in when I was really young."
"That was nice of them." She said sweetly. "Korra seems like a lot to handle, I don't think I could."
"She is a bit…rambunctious…to say the least, but just as any other person she has different sides to her. When she's not showing off or tooting her own horn…or getting into to trouble…she can actually be very shy sometime."
"Really, like when?" Be careful what you say Kalani!
"What's with all these questions about Korra?" I asked finally getting fed up, and slightly suspicious.
"Well…your make-up is done! C'mon lets go, I'm sure Mako is waiting." She said shaking my shoulder then walking out the door. I sighed, that was weird. But I brushed it off. I got up, slightly wobbling from the heels she made me wear, and followed her out. When I got outside, Kavi slightly nudged me.
"Kalani! Over here, the satomobile is waiting!" She said though the window of a satomobile.
I looked over to Kavi. "Why don't you go home, I'll see when I get home? Okay?" He pouted. "Don't pout." I said petting him. "Just go on, I'll see you later." He started to walk away, while slightly growling. I got into the satomobile with Asami.
We arrived at the party soon, it was very extravagant. Everyone seemed really rich and elegant, waiters were left and right serving the smallest portions of food I have ever seen, and it was weird. I felt kind of out of place, and Asami sensed that.
"Don't worry everything will be fine. Look, there's Mako!" Mako was walking over to us. I blushed as he did, he looked really good in his tux, and even better wearing the red scarf along with it. He walked over to me and hooked my arm in his.
"You look amazing." He whispered in my ear.
"Nothing compared to you." I whispered back.
"Hey look," Asami interrupted Mako and I gawking and one another. "My father is talking to Korra. Let's go say hi!" Stay away from her father. I squinted my eyes a little.
"You okay?" Mako asked me.
"I'm fine, let's go." We walked over to Mr. Sato, Bolin and Korra. Tarrlok was standing behind them.
"Hey, Korra." Mako and I said.
"Ah, Avatar Korra," Mr. Sato started. "I'd like to introduce you to my daughter, Asami."
"It nice to finally meet you, Kalani has told me so much about you!" Too much.
"It's actually perfect you two are meeting!" Mako said. "Korra, Mr. Sato offered to sponsor the Fire Ferrets. We can back in the tournament!"
"Isn't it great?!" Bolin said.
"Uh, yeah. Great." Korra didn't seem that happy.
"Excuse me for a moment." Tarrlok said. My head throbbed a bit. "But I think it's time for you to greet your guest Korra."
"Uh…yeah. I guess." Something was off with Korra, I couldn't tell what but something was off.
Tarrlok took Korra to the top of this giant set of stairs and the whole crowd rushed to her. I lost sight of Korra in the crowd. Cameras were flashing, and reporters were swarming.
"Is it true you witnessed Amon take away bending?"
"Is Amon a serious threat?"
"Why won't you join Tarrlok's task force?"
"As the Avatar shouldn't you be protecting Republic city?"
"Are you afraid of Amon?" That was it.
"I'M NOT AFRAID OF ANYTHING!" Korra shouted. I tried to go over and help Korra, but there was a large pound in my head. I stayed where I was. "If the city needs me then I'll join Tarrlok's task force!" Oh no…Oh yes…
"This is your headline folks!" Tarrlok said grabbing Korra.
I looked to my side. Mako and Bolin were looking apprehensively at each other, Asami was sneering. I sighed. Korra was walking out of the building.
"Excuse me, for a moment." I said to everyone. I quickly followed Korra. "Korra, Korra! Wait!"
"What do you want Kalani?"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing at all!" She said sarcastically. "Now why don't you go hang out with your new best friend Asami!"
"Korra, Asami is not my best friend and you know that. Now tell me what's wrong." Korra turned to look at me.
"I'm not afraid of him…I'm not afraid of Amon." Korra said quietly, looking down.
"Korra," I put my arm around her. "It's okay to be scared."
"But I'm not scared!"
"Okay! Okay, I believe you. But Korra are you sure you want to join Tarrlok's task force?"
"I have to! I'm the Avatar." She said seriously, but I know she wasn't one hundred percent sure. "I have to protect Republic City!"
"And you can, without this task force."
"You don't understand Kalani!"
"Then help me too!"
She paused for second, and then grunted. "Whatever, I'm going back to the temple." She ran toward the docks. Mako and Bolin came running out.
"I heard shouting; I wanted to make sure you two were okay." Mako said.
"I'm fine, Korra isn't."
"Where is she?" Bolin asked, obviously concerned.
"She's going back to the temple." I said to him, Bolin ran after her. "Wow, he really cares about her." I said watching him run.
"Yeah, she's all he talks about." Mako said, I sighed. Maybe someone like Bolin is what Korra need right now, a new person to talk too. I don't know, but I'm really worried about her. She'll get what she deserves.
