"Tenzin!" Mako yelled. After I got done telling Bolin and Mako what Oh told me, the three of us ran to the docks where we found Tenzin and Tarrlok. "Where is Korra?"

Oh was at home with my mother and father waiting for me, and Moki went home after I promised him I'd show up tomorrow for practice.

Tenzin turned to us. "She's on her way to Avatar Island to wait for Amon."

We looked out at the water, and in the distance we saw a dark figure sailing quickly through the water. "How could you just let her go?" I demanded, more scared then upset. I could only imagine losing my bending, and I know it'd be so much worse for Korra.

Tarrlok shook his head. "She wouldn't listen. Don't worry kids." Tarrlok reached out to put a comforting arm around me, and I flinched away. I didn't like contact with people I didn't know, especially someone like Tarrlok. Something about him gave me goosebumps. His arms fell flat by his side as he said, "I have patrols around ready to save Korra if anything goes wrong."

I looked at Tenzin, who only stared at Avatar Island.

Bolin sat down at the docks, Paboo around his shoulders. "I'm waiting here for Korra." I sat beside him, nodding firmly in agreement. Bolin smiled at me, appreciating the fact I was backing him up.

Tenzin frowned. "You children should go home. It's no use staying up and wasting your energy. You can see Korra tomorrow, but wasting your time here isn't going to change anything."

"Then let us get her from the island!" Mako said. "We can convince her to stop this crazy plan and come back with us."

Shaking his head, Tenzin said, "No. We have the situation under control. We can't afford to have you three getting in the way."

"We still aren't leaving." I crossed my arms.

Tenzin rubbed his forehead, frustrated with us. "Alright fine. But you're not allowed to go to the island, understand?"

Bolin nodded. Mako sat beside us, leaning his elbows on his knees. Worried silence settled between us all.

Several hours past. Bolin was asleep on the ground, and Paboo was curled on his stomach. Mako was leaning against a pole, looking at the sky. I was moving water around, practicing my water whip.

"You've gotten good," Mako said. Was that an actually compliment? From Mako?

I shrugged. "I still have a lot to learn."

"You're a quick learner, though." He touched the red scarf around his neck. "How are you a water bender?"

I froze, the water mid-air in front of me. Putting the water back into the ocean, I said, "This is a conversation we should have when Bolin is awake."

We both looked at Bolin, and I giggled at the drool coming out of the corner of his mouth.

"Bolin really likes not being the baby of the family anymore," Mako said, smiling at his brother. "He's still the baby to me, though."

Taking a seat beside Mako, I said, "What can I do to make you like me?"

For a long moment he said nothing. He sighed. "I do like you," he said slowly, choosing his words carefully. "I'm protecting my brother, though. He really thinks you're our sister."

"And you don't?"

He shook his head. "I don't believe you. I mean, why would you finally tell us you're our sister after we become famous at pro-bending?"

"Cause I just found out," I whispered. "You think I want money from you or something?" He nodded. "But I already knew you have no money to pay for the championship. At least until you met Asami."

He shrugged. "Then maybe you want fame, whatever. Either way, I don't trust you. Not because I don't like you, but because I'm protecting Bolin and I."

I stared down at my hands, which rested in my lap, fighting back tears. I finally got truth from Mako. Mentally, I thought I was prepared for the worst, but right now at the moment it felt much worse then what I was expecting. I bit my tongue, closing my eyes. A small tear ran down my cheek, and I looked away from Mako, wiping my cheek with my sleeve.

Standing with my back to him still, I said, "One day I hope you can believe me and trust me like the sister I really am."

"Me too," He whispered behind me.

I must have fallen asleep at one point, cause the next thing I knew someone was shaking me and saying my name. My eyes peered open, only to see Korra's face looking down at mine. "Korra!" I exclaimed, wrapping my arms around her. "Are you alright?"

The sun was starting to come up. "Yeah, I'm fine." She smiled at me. Bolin and Mako were awake, standing near us. We all hugged Korra. You could see by the way Bolin and Mako's shoulders relaxed that they were as relieved as I was.

"I'm alright guys, really," she said smiling. "Thanks for waiting for me."

"Did you see Amon?" Bolin asked.

Tenzin approached us, resting a comforting hand on Korra's shoulder. He nodded, encouraging her to answer. "Yeah, I saw Amon."

"Can you bend?" I asked, my fingers entangled together in worry. Not Korra. She can't lose her bending. I'd lose my bending any day if that meant Korra could keep hers.

She nodded. "He didn't take my bending away." She stared at the ground, her eyes getting misty. "I was so scared, guys. I was so scared. I thought if I faced him I'd prove that I wasn't scared, but when I saw him I-" Her voice was shaky and she shook her head. "I'm sorry."

I was the first one to wrap my arms around the scared Avatar, followed by the rest. Even Tenzin joined in the hug. Her shoulders began shaking as she fell into the group of people that cared about her, crying. Korra can still bend. She will be alright. She's our Avatar, and we're going to help her get through this. The world needs her, and she needs us.

Sorry it's a short chapter :) Okay, I want the opinion of any major avatar the last airbender fans that read this: would you ship Toko? Toph and Zuko? When they're older I mean. I'm debating writing a different Fanfiction about Toph and Zuko after the war, but I'm curious if people ship Toko. Anyway, enjoy the chapter :)
