The snow bison and snow lemur.

And so, our heroes carried on. Traveling the snowy mountain planes, searching for their long lost friend.

They traveled for days…weeks….months. Hardly any food or water. Things looked bleak for everyone. What shall they do if they do not find their friend? And will Republic City be frozen in eternal winter forever?

"BOLIN! Will you stop narrating already? And we've only been walking for two hours." Mako was already getting a headache from his brothers dramatic narrating.

"Well, excuse me for trying to be theatrical!" said Bolin angrily while crossing his arms and pouting.

"I thought it was pretty good, sweetie" His girlfriend said sweetly.

"Thank you Asami. Glad somebody appreciates my art!"

Mako simply rolled his eyes. The group continued walking up the mountain. Aang then stopped and looked over the horizon.

"Guys look"

They all looked as Aang pointed to down bellow. In the far distance, but still clear enough to see, stood their fair city, now completely trapped in winter. The buildings were covered in snow from top to bottom, there was hardly any road to be seen.

"Republic City."

"It's completely frozen." Katara said.

"But it'll be fine, Korra will fix it."

"How?"

"She's an avatar. If there's one thing I know about my family history, is that we never let anybody down. And I know she won't let us down." Aang said it as optimistically as he could. Katara secretly prayed that that is exactly what will happen.

"….I hope you're right."

Bolin stretched his muscles, "Okay, I'm ready for anything. So that way up the north mountain?", he pointed his finger to the right, making Katara chuckle.

"More like….this way."

She moved his hand upwards, making his finger point to the waaaaaaaaaaaaay high mountain top. Bolin's eyes widened, "Oh…"

Asami was already getting dizzy just by looking at it, "You people wouldn't happen to know how to build an elevator, would ya?"

Katara laughed, "What's the matter, city girl can't handle a little climb?"

"Little climb? That's not a little climb that's a tall suicide trip."

"Hey, we're doing this for Korra, remember?" Mako reminded his friends, "Now let's go."

Toph smilee supportively at Asami, "Come on, cousin. It'll be fun."

They all walked ahead and Asami hesitantly followed.

"Couldn't we just wait for a buss or something?…..no? Guys, wait up!"

(~)

The group of friends walked in the snowy land, higher and higher up the mountain. Finally they walked across a plane filed which was an open forest, now completely covered in snow. There was even a waterfall, with the water frozen solid. The frozen eyes glistened in the sunlight. The trees all around had snow on their branches, but what made them stand out were that the vines had raindrop shaped ice hanging from them. They shimmered in the sunlight.

Everyone was completely blown away by the beauty of it all. Toph couldn't believe her eyes, "Wow….Korra did all of this?"

Mako touched the vines with the icicles, once he released them they all slammed into each other, sounding like beautiful wind shims. Mula even began playing with them with her antlers, and the beautiful sounds filled the area.

"Korra always did have a creative side." Mako said as he admired the beauty of the trees. Katara walked next to him, "You sure know a lot about her."

"Well, I've known her practically my whole life."

"You must really love her."

This statement caught Mako by complete surprise, "What?!"

"Oh, come on. It's so obvious." Katara said while rolling her eyes and smiling smugly. Mako started to blush, "W-Well, I wouldn't know if I would say "love" exactly,"

"Please, only a dude who's truly in love would go through this much trouble for a girl."

Mako scratched the back of his neck nervously, he wasn't always the kind of guy who would talk about his feelings out loud. He was always aware of them but he most often kept them to himself and never really talked them out to anyone, probably because he was embraced if anyone else knew about his past infatuations for Korra, which were pretty much off limits to what he was concerned. He really didn't want to continue this conversation and so he pointed his finger to somewhere ahead, "Uh, hey look at that…tree!" with that lame excuse, he quickly walked away, leaving Katara with a skeptical look on her face.

"Don't take it personally. He's not always good at telling people how he feels." said the Avatar as he now walked beside her.

"I can see that."

Aang realized he had just kind of, sort of, started a conversation with Katara. He decided to try being nice to her, to start out fresh, so he began talking, "He's always had a thing for my sister. She somehow had a way to bring him out of his shell when we were kids."

"Really? Whatever happened?" Katara asked, becoming more and more curious about Aang's mysterious sister. The young man took a brief pause before continuing, "….Korra's powers. I don't remember anything about them. All I know is that they scared the heck out of her.", he pointed to the streak in his hair, "See this? This was from her magic. She accidentally hit me in the head and the only way to save me was to make me forget her powers completely. After a while, Korra just stopped talking to me…well, not entirely, we said hello and such in the halls, we met during dinner, shared a few words here and there but other than that, we-"

"You were practically strangers?" Katara finished his statement. Aang sighted sadly, "Yeah. Mom and dad decided to close the gates so her powers would never hurt anybody else."

Katara looked at the boy with compassion in her eyes. Life must have been so hard for him; he was practically a prisoner in his own home, his only sibling refused to be his friend, and his parents died not too long ago. "I'm so sorry. It must have been really hard. I can't imagine having to live like a prisoner in my own home."

"Well, I did have my friends and I love my parents, they were great….but after they died…things just weren't exactly the same since."

Katara felt sympathy for Aang. She never knew the boy had gone through so much, "And you still want to get your sister back? Despite everything that's happened?"

"Well yeah. She is my family and she never really meant to be so cold and distant. I'm sure once we talk things through, everything will be alright." he said, once again reverting to his original upbeat self. His happy charm even made Katara smile.

"Well, I hope things really do work out."

"Yeah, me too….you know, you're actually a lot nicer than you look"

"Don't get too use to it" She playfully punched his arm and Aang chuckled as he rubbed the area where she punched him.

"No problem."

(~)

Toph and Sokka walked side by side. Sokka really did find Toph pretty attractive and cool. He was thinking on ways to try and impress her.

"Sooooooooo. Come here often?" he said smoothly. Toph arced an eyebrow at him, "If you're trying to hit on me, good luck."

She walked on ahead and Sokka stood there for a few seconds before silently shouting: "Yes! She digs me!"

(~)

Mula's antlers were already covered with icicle vines. Asami's eyes sparkled at the beauty of the environment.

"I never knew winter could be so beautiful." she said.

"Yeah, it really is beautiful isn't it?"

Asami and Bolin looked at each other curiously, wondering if the other said anything.

"You say something?" Asami asked.

"No. You?"

"No."

"But It's so white, you know how about a little bit of color-"

Everybody else looked at each other, silently asking the same question; 'who was talking?'. But nobody said anything. They had no idea where that voice was coming from. Then out of nowhere, another voice could be heard.

"I agree, I'm thinking like maybe some crimson, chartreuse, or (gasp) how about yellow?"

"No, not yellow. Yellow and snow, that's a big "nu-uh""

"Oh, yeah, you're probably right."

The others realized the voices are closer….like right behind them.

They all turned around and they gasped: standing there was a little sky bison made entirely out of snow and next to him, a lemur also entirely made out of snow with sticks for arms. The snow bison waved at Asami.

"Hello."

"AHHHHHHHHH!"

The young woman kicked the snow bison's head right off of it's body and it landed on Mako's hands.

"Hello."

"You're creepy.", the firebender tossed it back to Asami

"I don't what it!",

She tossed it to Bolin who screamed. "AHHHH! HEAD!",

He tossed it to Sokka, "Gross, gross, gross!",

He tossed it to Toph, "Man, you're such babies!"

"Hiya!" said the head.

"EWWW!"

She then tossed it to Aang, "GAH!"

He tossed it to Katara. She had had just about enough of this nonsense.

"Alright, that's it!"

She angrily tossed the head back to it's snowy body. The snow lemur walked up to him.

"Buddy! You okay?"

The snow bison stood up. His head was now upside-down. "I don't think I am. Or maybe their the ones who are not okay. Why are you all hanging off the earth like bats?"

It was then that the humans realized that these…things weren't dangerous at all. Maybe a little odd, but not dangerous. Aang approached the snow bison.

"Okay, hang on one sec."

"Aang, be careful." Mako warned him. Aang fixed the snow bison's head and he was now right side up again.

"Oh, thank you." said the bison.

"No problem."

"Now I'm perfect!"

"Well, almost."

Aang took two sticks he found on the ground and stuck both of em on the bison's head…which went right through him and he now had two little spikes sticking out of his head.

"Whoa! Too hard, I'm sorry!"

The others winced at this, but the bison seemed to be in no pain.

"You okay?"

"Head rush!" said the bison, then he smiled, "That was fun!"

The lemur raised his stick hands and waved them enthusiastically, "Me next! Do me next!"

"Hold on, hold on. I can fix this.", Aang took the two sticks and arranged them properly on the bison's head so now they looked like horns.

"What do you think?"

"It's….wonderful! Now I look like the real thing! Thank you so much" he then took Aang's hand and roughly shook it

"Whoa, okay, okay, strong grip ya got there."

Asami was hiding behind Bolin's back, "What the heck are they?"

"Oh, well allow us to introduce ourselves." the bison said. "Ahem…hi everyone, my name's Appa."

"And I'm Momo." said the snow lemur

"And we like warm hugs!" they said in a happy union. The very sentence seemed to grab Aang's attention as he looked at the two snow creatures with curiosity. Something about the names triggered something in his memory.

"Appa….Momo?"

Mako squatted down to the two creatures, "Hey, they look just like the characters you and Korra use to make in the snow when we were little."

The images slowly came into view in Aang mind, a smile grew on his face, "…..that's right. Appa and Momo!"

The snow buddies smiled at Aang. "…..and you are?"

"Oh, um. I'm Aang."

"Nice to meet you Aang." Said Appa. Momo then smiled, "Yeah, and um who are the lovely ladies?" he said flirtatiously at the girls who looked at the lemur weirdly. Aang introduced them:

"That's Asami, Toph and Katara."

"Uh, hi?" Katara awkwardly waved, this was totally bizarre for her.

"Yo." Toph said casually,

"I'm spoken for." Asami pointed out.

Appa leaned closer to Aang, "And who are the guys standing next to that tall funky looking creature over there?" he asked.

"Well, that's Bolin, Sokka and that creature is Mula."

"Aha, and who's the cat dear?"

Mako arced an eyebrow at this while Bolin tried to contain his laughter.

"Uhhh, Mula?" Aang answered.

"Oh, their-oh, okay! Makes this easier for me."

"Wait, wait, wait, my name's Mako! Not Mula!" Mako corrected the snow bison.

"Really? You actually do kind of look like a Mula."

Mako glared at the snow bison while Mula began sniffing Appa, "Hey, that tickles." Mula then did the same with Momo, "Whoa, whoa, sweetheart at least give us a chance to get to know each other."

"This is incredible." Katara said, "Real live creatures made entirely out of snow."

Her brother was just as baffled, "I've never seen anything like it."

Momo stood proudly, "Yep, we're two of a kind!"

"This is so cool!" said Bolin, "In more ways than one!"

"Hey, Appa, Momo…did Korra build you guys?" Aang asked them

"Yeah, why?" They answered in union. Meanwhile, Mako took out one of Momo's stick arms and examined it.

"So, you know where she lives, right?" Aang asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Do you think you can show us the way?"

"Yeah, why?"

"How does this work?" Mako asked as he bended the stick arms, which then suddenly slapped him in the face.

"OW!"

Momo angrily took back his arm and placed it back in it's rightful place, "Stop it, Mula! trying to focus here." he turned back to Aang, "Yeah, why?"

"I'll tell you why." Sokka said, "We ned Korra to bring back summer."

Appa gasped, "Summer? Did you say summer, did he say summer?"

"Yeah, I think he did! He really did!" said Momo excitedly.

"What's wrong with summer?" Toph asked.

"What's wrong? Nothing's wrong with it!" Momo explained.

Appa sighed dreamily, "Yeah, for as long as we can remember me and Momo have always loved the idea of summer"

Momo, "And sun-"

Appa, "-and all things hot!"

Asami, "Seriously?"

Appa, "Yeah!"

Mako, "So, I'm guessing you two don't have much experience with heat then."

Appa and Momo, "…..Nope!"

Appa, "But sometimes, we like to close our eyes and imagine what it'll be like when summer does come."

The two friends hold hands and start to dream about summer. They imagine themselves in a large green meadow with the sun shinning bright.

Appa: Bees will buzz,

Kids will blow dandelion fuzz. And I'll be doing whatever snow does in summer

Momo imagined himself laying on a beach drinking soda.

Momo: A drink in my hand, My snow up against the burning sand. Prob'ly getting gorgeously tanned in summer

Both friends imagined themselves sailing on a small boat across a lake

Appa and Momo: We'll finally see a summer breeze blow away a winter storm. And find out what happens to solid water when it gets warm

They then imagined themselves on a beach with sand made lemurs and bisons, decorate with seaweed and seashells.

Appa: And we can't wait to see. What ours buddies all think of we.

Just imagine how much cooler we will be in summer

The buddies start tap dancing with a seagull.

Appa and Momo:Dah-dah, da-doo, a-bah-bah-bah bah-bah-boo

The friends imagined themselves in a hot tub drinking hot chocolate.

Momo: The hot and the cold are both so intense, Put 'em together, it just makes sense!

Bolin nudged Mako's arm, "Hint, hint, there bro."

Appa and Momo:Rrr-raht da-daht dah-dah-dah dah-dah-dah dah dah doo

Momo: Winter's a good time to stay in and cuddle,

Appa: But put me in summer and I'll be a...

They saw a puddle right in front of them. But Appa happily jumped over it.

Appa: Happy snow-bison!

Momo: And lemur!

Appa and Momo: When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream. Of relaxing in the summer sun, just lettin' off steam

Oh, the sky will be blue, And you guys will be there too

The others were actually in the snow buddies' fantasy, still wearing their winter cloths, holding sandwiches in their hands while Mula ate cherry pie.

Toph, "How did we get here?"

Katara, "No clue."

Appa and Momo:When we finally do what frozen things do in summer!

Asami, Bolin, Katara, Aang, "Awwwwww!"

Mako, Sokka and Toph, "We gotta tell em."

Katara, "Don't you dare!"

Appa and Momo: IIIIINNN SUUUUMMEEEEEEEEEEEERR!

Bolin and Aang clapped for the snow buddies performance.

"Now come on! Korra's this way!" Momo said and he and Appa led the way

"Let's go bring back summer!" the bison happily shouted.

The others cheerfully followed them, only Sokka and Mako stayed behind a bit longer.

"Somebody's gotta tell them." said Sokka.

(~)

Yeah I decided to add some Tokka in there, even though I don't exactly ship them, but I figured I would have too manny characters if I added Suki and manny people like Tokka sooooooo….yeah.

Okay, next chapter will be an original scene not added in the movie and some extra Korra time.

God Bless, *kiss, kiss*
