Chapter 4: How the band got its name.
Bolin and Opal were heading to a pub called The Underground.
"Bo, you made it," said Mako giving him a hug.
"Wouldn't miss my brother perform," said Bolin.
"Who's your friend?" Asked Mako.
"Her name's Opal," said Bolin, "She's in the music club with me."
"Hi," Opal said introducing herself.
Kuvira was talking to some of her friends.
"So Tenzin cancels half of my set just so another band could have some time to play for us?" Asked Kuvira, "Really?!"
"That's some sick shit right there," said Desna, the drummer.
"He expects us to just let it slide?" Asked Eska, the bass player.
"What's he talking about?" Asked Bolin.
"She's just pissed because another band is taking half of the band's set," said Mako.
"Here's the thing," said Bolin looking away, "Me and Opal….. are in the band."
"Ok, and?" Asked Mako.
"Wait, you're not mad?" Asked Opal.
"Give me one reason why I should be mad," said Mako, "Just because you're in the band doesn't mean I think of you guys even less."
Bolin smiled.
Kuvira was still ranting.
"I'm taking that band down one way or another," said Kuvira, "Nobody steals my time to shine and gets away with it alright? Nobody!"
"Kuvira, we're up," said Mako grabbing his guitar.
"Your brother seems nice," said Opal.
"I know," said Bolin, "At least he's not mad at us for being part of that band."
Eska started playing her bass.
And The Crowd Goes
Kuvira: Who's that tryin' to talk to me
Standin' over there lookin' like a wannabe
Keep me on ice, subzero degrees
I'm so solid that you can't see through me
We rock the stage like a playoff game
Don't have to say it, you know my name
Three-point shot, no time on the clock
And the crowd goes wild, are you ready or not, oh
And the crowd goes
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Ha, come on, let's bring it back to 'em
Now listen in, uh
Your busted up club, it was doomed from the start
Don't even try it, we're state of the art
When we break the rules, they bend for us
When they need the job done, they send for us
Brand new kicks and a brand new jersey
What do you expect, yeah we deserve it
Three-point shot, no time on the clock
And the crowd goes wild, are you ready or not
And the crowd goes
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Mako performed a guitar solo and the crowd went insane. Kuvira was signing autographs for the boys.
Kuvira: It's the crush
Here we go, here we go
And the crowd goes
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And the crowd goes
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And the crowd goes
I'm a superstar and I got a cool car

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
And the crowd goes
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
One, two, three, four
The crowd cheered the band name.
Korra and Kai were walking through the halls and people were staring.
"What's their deal?" Asked Kai.
"Apparently they don't like that we're opening for Earthquake," said Korra, "But that's their deal."
Back at the music room we were discussing a band name.
"So looks like everyone has their badges," said Bolin, "The Red Alert Mountain Dew."
"So our first order of business," said Korra, "A band name."
"How about…. Burning heart?" Asked Bolin.
"Nah," said Kai.
"The rebels?" Asked Korra.
"No," I said, "I'm gonna grab another mountain dew."
"I think I got an idea," said Kai, "How about….. Kai."
"What?" Asked Opal.
"C'mon, a lot of bands have that one name band thing going on," said Kai.
"Nah," said Korra.
I came in and shouted, "Back off the bash!"
"What kind of name is that?" Asked Korra.
I showed her the note on my locker.
Korra took the paper and wrote something on the back of it.
It said; "Fuck. You."
"Wow, you are a rebel," said Kai.
The vice Principal, Raiko was giving an announcement about gum in the seats.
"I think I hate him more than Principal Tenzin," said Korra.
"I know," said Kai, "One time he was the lunchroom monitor and gave me detention."
"What for?" I asked.
"Playing with my food," said Kai.
I went to get a water.
"Thanks," said someone taking it, "My fave."
It was Kuvira and her friends.
"Word on the street is you're the singer of the new band," said Kuvira.
"I am," I said.
"Give us something," said Kuvira, "Show us what you're made of."
Korra noticed it.
"You wanna tell us what the fuck-shit you think you're doing?" She asked.
"Just having small talk," said a fangirl of Kuvira.
"Right," said Kai, "I think you should leave that girl alone."
"And who's gonna make me?" Asked Kuvira.
"Kuvira stop," said Opal, "You're being a creep."
"Listen toots, I…." Said Kuvira before Bolin intervened.
"So you're gonna make me stop messing with your singer?" Asked Kuvira grabbing him, "What you gonna do huh?"
"Hey get off of him!" I said.
"Hey I got an idea," said Korra.
"What?" Asked Kuvira.
"Hold on," said Korra.
She took a drink of her mountain dew and then spat it at her.
Everyone started to laugh.
"What's going on here?!" Asked Vice Principal Raiko.
"Obviously Korra and her gang of hooligans are causing trouble," said Kuvira.
"Hold on," said Principal Tenzin, "I think it be best to…."
"Principal Tenzin, I am very aware of the shenanigans that most of these students can pull," said Vice Principal Tarrlok, "That's why you put me in charge of discipline is it not?"
"Tarrlok I…" said Tenzin.
"I will handle it!" Said Vice Principal Raiko.
"Ok, I was just getting myself a drink, and then 'Fire Breath' spewed her drink all over me and was threatening me!"
"WHAT?!" Asked Korra, "That is not what happened!"
The 5 of us were given detention.
And that's how the band officially got its name.
