Again I wait until 1am to write. Something is wrong in my head.

Day #25: Winter
Characters: Korra, Naga & Airbabies
Setting: Republic City

7/30/12

It wasn't that she didn't like the city; it just made her uncomfortable sometimes. There were so many strange things which were foreign to her in every way.

And the weather was different too.

It was so hot.

But she refused to take off her Watertribe clothes. She would rather sweat than to forsake one of her only traces of home left. Especially her boots, her favorite part of the day was getting home at night and tearing the boots off of her feet and letting the breeze blow between her toes.

She knew Naga was having trouble adjusting as well, and she made sure that she took a refreshing swim with her polarbear-dog every afternoon, when the sun was at it's hottest.

Then it started to cool down a bit, and the days weren't quite as stifling. Korra didn't feel the need to rip off her shoes when she got home, and Naga was doing okay without taking an afternoon swim.

"Jinora, those leaves….?"

"Oh! That's right! This is your first autumn isn't it Korra?" The young airbender put down her book and smiled at the avatar. "I forgot you don't have seasons in the South Pole."

"So this is fall." Korra picked up a yellow leaf off of the ground and twirled it between her fingers. "I think that I like it."

"Well I'm glad." Jinora leaned back against the tree trunk reopening her book while Korra sat a few feet away with Naga, ticking the large black nose with the newly fallen leaves.

The first time she stepped on a crunchy leaf, she almost had a heart attack. She leapt backwards, heart pounding, too afraid to look at the ground.

"What type of little animal did I step on?" She reached out, holding onto Ikki's shoulder as Meelo jumped from leaf to leaf making crunching noises.

"None." Ikki raised an eyebrow, as Korra opened her eyes.

"Oh." The Avatar flushed, and continued walking like it was no big deal, secretly trying to step on the crunchiest looking leaves.

"Korra!"

"Go away Ikki." Korra groaned into her pillow.

"Korra wakeup!" Meelo tugged on a piece of her hair.

With a grumble and a wave of her arm, she shoved the two children off of her bed, and they floated to the floor giggling.

"But Korra, it's snowing!" Ikki opened the window and a blast of cold air brought some snow with it into the room.

"What! Really?" Korra shot up in bed and tugged on her boots and her coat over her pajamas and rushed outside, Naga following her.

The two of them rolled in the snow, and one by one the airbabies joined them out in the white flakes. Korra shivered slightly and smiled, watching as Naga rolled in the snow, coating herself with it.

And for a moment, she felt as though she was out on the icy tundra with her polarbear dog, and a sense of home wrapped itself around her comfortingly.

They had waited a long time for this winter.

I realized as I started writing this, Korra has lived in the South Pole her entire life, she's never experienced different seasons!
