Invited
"Hey Kara did you ever get to kiss Gyo?" Iggy asked as he walked into the large kitchen. I was chopping vegetables for supper I looked up at him for a moment. He had a large smile on his face as if had accomplished something great.
"So you danced with Ali, who cares," I grunted as I chopped celery faster. I was angry he gave up Soara for Ali. He looked at my with a less happy face.
"Yah but did you kiss Gyo?" he asked again. I stopped chopping I got so caught up in Iggy's life I totally forgot about Gyo. I slammed my head against the marble counter. "I'm guessing that's a no,"
"I'm such an idiot! I forgot to kiss him!" I yelled into the table. My forehead was pounding from the hit I took. Nothing seemed to be going well for me. Iggy placed a hand on my shoulder and started to chuckle.
"Well you won't get to kiss him for about another week. His parents have invited all of us to his house for the remainder of the time we're out of school. Are you sure you can control your infatuation with Gyo for than," he explained to me. I raised my head and slightly nodded than stopped.
"I don't even know what an infatuation means," I mumbled. He started to laugh harder. He patted me on the back.
"Well just pack your things and don't kiss Gyo at his house," he said and walked out of the room. I rolled my eyes and went back to chopping food.

"Good giant bison. I'm just going to blindly climb up you now," Soara said as she petted the animal. She started to climb up his tail. The bison roared and moved his tail happily for the company. Soara fell on her bum. She got up and started to rub it. "How about you go on first Sugar Queen," she said to me. I smiled and as I walked past I messed with her hair. The bison groaned happily and slightly looked at Soara. "I hate you to Cloud,"
"Hey be nice he just likes you," Ali said as her and Iggy walked out of the house. Mankey flew off of Iggy's shoulder and landed on Soara's. He started to lick her face. Soara pushed Mankey away. He stopped licking but still rested on her shoulder. "Hell a lot of animals like you," Ali added.
"I hate flying," Soara grunted looking at the bison. Cloud turned his head confused.
"No you don't hate flying you're just afraid of it," Gyo stated as he walked down the stairs. Soara's face light up.
"I'm not afraid of flying…just of falling," she mumbled and quickly climbed up the bison's tail. Ali jumped on Cloud's head and Iggy and Gyo got on the saddle with me and Soara. The bison lifted up off the ground. Soara moved I fairly close to me. She was cuddling with not to long after the bison moved. Gyo was right she was afraid of flying.

The house was huge. It had only one floor but is spread across a lot of land. As the bison circled around for a landing I saw a woman walk out of the house waving up at us. Gyo waved back. The bison landed roughly and Soara grabbed on to me with a tight grip, she was trembling.
"Hi mom!" Gyo shouted as he jumped off the bison. He started to hug her. He was much taller than his mother; he must have gotten his height from his father. Soara climbed off the bison next.
"Soara!" The woman said and started to hug her. Ali, Iggy and I got off the bison. The woman walked up to us and stared with a smile on her face. "And these three must be your friends. Now who are you young man?" She asked Iggy as she bent down to his eye level with a smile on her face.
"I'm Ignite," Iggy responded with a greeting smile on his face. Gyo's mother stood up.
"Wow, Ignite. You must be from the Fire Nation." Iggy nodded his head. I was amazed that she could tell which nation we were from by our names. She looked over at me. "Who are you little lady?"
"I'm Kara," I told her. She nodded with a comforting smile on her face. It made me miss my mother. I wondered if Iggy felt the same way.
"You must be from the Northern Water Tribes," she said as she looked into my eyes.
"Yah, well, sort of," I mumbled but she didn't hear me. She walked over to Ali. "Wow an Air Nomad. You've picked your friends well haven't you Gyo. Now sweetie what's your name?"
"Ali!" she answered and started to hug Gyo's mother. She pushed Ali away.
"I forgot to mention, Ali's a hugger," Gyo commented from behind her. "Everyone, this is my mom, Halin,"
"Hello Mrs. Halin," we said to her. She smiled again. She turned to Gyo.
"Gyo your father should be home today," she told her son. His face light up. "But he said his bringing some bad news," She explained further. She gestured us in side and we followed.
"I wonder what the bad news is." Iggy whispered into my ear.
