I don't own Korra.
"Are we there yet?" asked Ta Min. They were hiking through the cold of the South Pole up a hill.
"Almost." Bumi yelled back. He adjusted his ear muffs and continued climbing. They were almost at their destination. The hill began to flatten and their targets were insight.
"What's the plan?" she asked him. He observed them for a moment before deciding.
"We walk out, hold out one fish each, and ride them back to the tribe." he responded. She nodded before jumping out of their hiding place. She held out her arm and the penguins flocked around her. She selected one and took her position at the top of the hill. Bumi walked next to her with his penguin and they both entered the starting position.
"On 'go' we shove off. First one back wins. Loser has to listen to one of Uncle Sokka's stories from start to finish, without interrupting him." she nodded, confirming the pre-determined conditions. "Go!"
They pushed off the top of the slope and the race began. Ta Min had better control, but Bumi was faster. The placement of obstacles along the course was just so that Bumi was slowed down enough for Ta Min to keep up with him.
When they were halfway down the noticed a pair of imperial firebenders searching for them.

"I don't see how those two thing are related!" he yelled. She didn't respond. He sighed before increasing his speed to reach her.
They continued down like this until they were in sight of the end. Ta Min put her hand down to the ground briefly. When Bumi passed over that point his penguin fell into the snow.
"You melted it, you cheater!" he yelled. She turned and stuck her tongue out at him as her penguin stopped. She walked over to him and offered him her hand. He took it and pulled her down into the snow with him.
"That was mean." she said bluntly.
"Well you cheated. I have a feeling that I'm stuck going through with the bet anyway though.

"Then I threw the Warden down on the floor and said 'Sorry, Warden, your record is officially broken.'" said Sokka, laughing at the memory.
"I'm pretty sure it was Gramp Gramp who said that." Bumi responded. He knew for certain that his uncle was embellishing the story a bit. "And you never tell us how you got off the island."
"That's an interesting story as well." said Sokka. Bumi quickly realized that he made a horrible mistake and started another story. "Your Uncle Zuko look back at the island and said..."
