Morning has come and everyone was already up and about in the temple, Zero has risen out of his slumber and took in the brisk morning air, he scanned the room around him because for a moment he had forgotten where he was, but it a came back to him now. Zero still wasn't sure what his situation is, but then he spotted a fold of clean cloths lying on a small table on the other side of the room, it had a yellow collar, red on the torso and thighs, and grey on the arms and shines. But then Zero's attention was taken from the neatly folded cloths from the table to the door sliding open and Korra peeking her head through the doorway.
"Rise and shine Zero, we have a whole day ahead of-," Korra couldn't find Zero in the room anywhere, that is until she looked up at the corner of the ceiling and saw him sitting there upside down, stunned at what she is seeing. Zero has realized he has fallen asleep on the ceiling, once again, he crawled down the wall and back to the floor, and pretended the whole thing didn't happened, "... us?" Korra finished, finally shaking off to what she had just witnessed. "How... did you... do that?" Zero just ignored the question and just started to change out of his old attire and into his new ones, but to Korra's surprise Zero wasn't wearing anything under his old clothes, "WHY AREN'T YOU WEARING ANYTHING UNDER THERE!?" Korra shouted in displeasure while she covered her eyes.
"Wait here and don't open this door til I come back, got it?" Korra instructed the now half naked boy, Zero gave a nod in reply and with that Korra left to fetch under-clothes for him. Korra shortly returned to the room with another set of clothes for Zero to wear under his suit. With that taken care of Korra left Zero to change into his new clothes, Zero loved how soft the underwear is and how smooth the suit is, it felt cozy, but yet still felt breathable.
After Zero was finished changing he eventually left his room, he found himself wandering through the empty halls of the air temple, he sometimes gazes out the window to stare at the gaint monument of the previous Avatar in the middle of the bay. Zero for a moment admired the scenery of the whole city, until he heard two young voices arguing with each other and it was heading his way.
Zero panicked, he couldn't tell where was the voices were coming from so he tried to run into the next hallway, but unfortunately the hall he chose was exactly where the sounds were coming as a result he bumped right into the two. They were young and both of them have the same surprised expression on their facese when they first saw Zero.
The one to the right is a girl and the one to the left is a boy who's more shorter than the girl, but was still taller than Zero. They both have the same skin tone and hair color, although the girl's hair is more longer which reach passed her shoulders, but had these weird round things on her head, Zero couldn't tell what they were. The boy on the other hand had shorter hair much like his own, but Zero also noticed that they were both wearing the same kind of suit that he was wearing.
"Hey, who are you?" the girl demanded, but Zero was too shy to answer, "we're waiting" she pressed on, "are you a spy or something? if you are then you're in a world of trouble kid," said the boy who took a fighting stance along with the girl. Zero can feel his heart beating faster, he was too scared to answer so acting on instinct Zero extended his right hand and the two were sent flying, but the two managed to recover from their shock mid-air and landed on their feet. The two of them were about to return a reply of their own, but found him already at the other end of the hall at speeds they couldn't believe.
"OH YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY THAT EASY! c'mon Meelo," they both formed a sphere of air and propel themselves down the hall giving chase to the supposed intruder.
"So Korra, how's the boy holding up, he isn't causing any trouble now, is he?" Tenzin asked while about to have breakfast with his wife Pema and youngst child Rohan, "ahh yes, did he like the new clothes I left for him in the middle of the night?" Pema asked as well. Korra wasn't sure what to say, but found the words anyway, "he's behaving very well and yes Pema I'm pretty sure he loves the new digs you got him, but... Did you by any chance I don't know saw him... Sitting upside down on the ceiling."
Tenzin spat his tea out of his mouth shocked at what Korra had told him, "WHAT!" Tenzin shouted, "no, I only saw him steering in his sleep," said Pema in surprise, "are you sure he wasn't hanging on somewhere?" Tenzin spoke thinking that the Avatar was just seeing things. "Yes I'm sure, I saw it clear as day and I saw him crawl down the wall," Korra retorted, "it seems that... Uhh?" Tenzin trailed off seeming to realize that he never gotten the child's name, "Zero," Korra added, "I'm sorry Korra what did you say?" Tenzin asked not really sure what Korra meant by "zero".
"He told me last night that his name's Zero," Korra stated remembering what the boy had told her before bed, "Zero? that's a strange name for a child," said Pema trying to wipe down the mess her husband made on the table. "It is indeed, but either way I think it's time we introduce the kids to the new addition to the family," Tenzin stated, "what new addition?" Jinora said popping her head throught the doorway. "Come in Jinora there's something we need to tell you and your brother and sister. Where are they?"
Sitting down next to her mother Jinora answered her farther, "I don't know, but I saw them arguing about something though," "I'll go look for them," Korra offered and got up to look for the rest of the family, "I'll be right back."
Meelo and Ikki were chasing after the stranger in their home, but were having trouble catching up to him, the boy was out running his two pursuers, but he might have not thought this all the way through because where was he supposes to go? Zero ran and ran hoping to run into Tenzin or Korra, but his luck might have ran out when coming up to a dead end, "got you now," Ikki said triumphantly seeing the boy finally cornered, "now prepare to meet your maker," Meelo taunted.
Zero prepared on what was to come, as the two were about to move in-, "WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING!?" Korra intervened completely displeased to what was happening. Korra walked passed the two siblings and went to check on the frighten boy, "what were you two thinking?" both Ikki and Meelo were confused on what's happening, "we thought he-," "you can explain yourselves later, right now your dad's in the dinning room and he has an announcement to make with you two and Jinora, now go," Korra instructed the two siblings sternly and without question went to the dining room while Korra stayed behind a bit with the boy.
Walking into the dinning room Ikki and Meelo found the rest of their family sitting at the table together, "hi daddy," Ikki greeted her father, "you wanted to tell us something important?" the two middle children setting down next to their oldest sister. "Yes Ikki I do," said Tenzin, "what is it dad?" Jinora asked rising a brow.
"There is someone I like all of you to meet, Korra you can bring him in now," and just then Korra walked in with a boy that Ikki and Meelo recognized, it was the boy who they were chasing all over the temple earlier and now they felt a little bad. Their father stood up and introduced the boy, "kids, this is Zero, he's gonna be living with us on the Island, but kids I want you to know Zero must be kept secret. No one outside the Island can know he's existence, so I want you all to promise me that you'll never tell anyone. Understand?"
The kids just looked at each other and took in what they were just told, "yes dad," Jinora and Ikki said in unison, "wait!" Meelo shouted, jumping up from where he sat, getting everyone's attention, "does that mean I have another little brother?" Everyone just had a moment of awkward silence, "uhh, in a manner of speaking... Yes."
With that Meelo cheered, ran up to Zero and gave him a big hug, Zero seemed confused to what Meelo was doing, it's like he didn't know what a hug was (which is actually the case). Everyone laughed joyously at the sight of the two boys hugging, well at least Meelo on his part because Zero wasn't sure what to do.
