I got no sleep. I tossed and turned, my eyes squeezed shut. I tried to sleep, because sleeping meant not thinking. Not thinking about what Moki had just told me only hours ago. Not thinking about how I should have said something in reply instead of just staring at him. I don't know how long we would have stayed like that, with us sitting close and just staring at each other not knowing what to say, if my mother hadn't come and gotten me to tell me it was time to leave.

I didn't look at Moki as everyone said their goodbyes, but I glanced at him as we walked out through the front door. The look on his face killed me. He looked so hurt. Maybe that was why I couldn't sleep, because his sad eyes just kept appearing behind mine. I sat up, cringing as I looked in the mirror. My hair stuck up everywhere. Brushing it back into a bun, with strands falling around my face, I changed into a pair of grey pants that stopped mid-shin and a pale blue strapless shirt that stopped just below my rib cage. I slipped into a pair of pale blue and grey boots that went up to my knees, grabbed a black cloak lined with white, and climbed out onto the tree.

Reaching up, I climbed to the very top, which was much taller then our houses. The branches up here were much more wobbly and less stable, which was why we didn't climb up this high that often. The moon was above Avatar Aang's statue in the distance. It reminded me of the conversation I had with Moki. "Princess Yue," I whispered. I read somewhere that she is the reason people can still water bend. I suppose I should thank her.

Wrapped up in the cloak, I stayed up there for a long time. The moon began to even disappear beneath the suns arrival. I even heard Oh climb onto the tree at some point. I heard him tap on my window. He didn't see me, and I made no attempt at being noticed, and he eventually went back to his room.

I couldn't talk to Oh. Last time I mentioned anything about a boy he got upset.

So I sat there. It was cold and snow was falling. The day past by, and I watched people live their lives. I even saw Moki walk down the street with Raya. For a moment he looked towards my house, then towards the tree, and I was almost sure he saw me. But he looked back down at the ground and continued walking. Finally, while the sun was still going down, I climbed towards my room. I swung off each branch, more graceful then ever. These practices with Moki were starting to pay off. Slipping back into my room, I landed gracefully on the floor. Well, really on a pile of clothes that sat on the floor of my room.

I traded the now wet cloak for a white and light blue hoody, and went downstairs to the kitchen. Leaning against the counter, I grabbed an apple and bit into it. Despite the fact that it was the first thing I've eaten since last night, I still wasn't that hungry.

"Shai!"

I jumped at Mother's voice yelling my name from upstairs. She came down with a basket of laundry, her face red and upset. "Next time you come inside, will you please wipe off your shoes. You left water tracks all through the house and I almost slipped!"

Murmuring an apology, I threw the rest of the apple away.

"Where have you been anyway?"

"Out," I said. "Hey, I'm about to leave. The Fire Ferrets have a match tonight and they invited me."

Mother sighed. "Alright but when you get home I want those chores done."

Nodding, I put on the hoody and walked out. "Be safe!" I heard Mother yell as I shut the door.

"INTRODUCING OUR FIRST TEAM. THE FUTURE INDUSTRY'S FIRE FERRETS!" The crowd cheered a mix of boos and applauds. "AND THEIR OPPONENTS, THE RED SAND OF-"

"BOO!" I yelled from the box where the Fire Ferrets usually get ready. I was up here by myself, and suddenly felt guilty for not inviting Oh. He would love it. Next time, I told myself.

The match began, and they moved so fast I could hardly keep up. When one of the members of the other team got pushed back a ring, I jumped in excitement. The game continued, and eventually the Fire Ferrets moved up a ring. There was dust and water and sparks flying everywhere down there. "Ooh, and all three Rabaroos are down. The Fire Ferrets easily take round one."

I yelled, "Go Bolin!" Bo glanced up at where I was watching, and gave me a small wave before round two began.

I watched the three of them work great as a team. They were completely in sync, and it was clear that all their practicing was paying off. It wasn't long before they won round two, and round three was already starting. The crowd was going in sane, as was the man on the speaker. "These Ferrets are working together like a well oiled bending machine," he was saying.

When the Fire Ferrets were announced victors, I was screaming and jumping around. "You guys did so good!" I yelled, tackling Bolin in a hug. Mako and Korra smiled at me and went to put up their gear.

Bolin gave a cocky smile. "Yeah I know. We're good."

I slugged him on the shoulder, laughing. "You guys have really improved as team." I leaned in close. "So, did you ever ask Korra?"

Asami walked in saying, "Congratulations guys you were so amazing out there!" She went over to Mako, giving him a kiss.

Bolin winked at me and said, "Watch and learn little sister."

He went up to Korra. "So, Korra, I was thinking, you and me, we could go get some dinner together, sort of a date situation." Bolin was leaning against the table towards Korra, and I had my fingers crossed.

"Oh, that's really sweet, but I don't think so," Korra said. "I don't feel very date worthy." My heart sank, I wanted nothing more then to hug Korra.

"Are you kidding me?" Bolin said in disbelief. "You're the smartest, funniest, toughest, buffest, talentedest, incrediblest girl in the world!"

Korra giggled. "You really feel that way about me?"

"I felt that way since the moment I saw you," Bo admitted. "Trust me, I know we're going to have so much fun together."

"You know what, I could use some fun. Ok, sure." Korra stood up, grinning.

"Yes!" Bolin exclaimed. "Who's the luckiest guy in the world? Right here, Bolin!" They began walking out the door, and Bolin glanced back at me with a wink.

I gave him a thumbs up, and watched them leave.

Sorry it took me so long to update! I hope you like the chapter though :) Okay sooo a question for my readers: do you ship Zutara (zuko and katara) or Kataang (aang and katara)?
