The next day…
Mako, Korra, and Bolin are seen walking towards the city capital doors. Bolin is excited while Mako and Korra seem hesitant. They are dressed for the occasion. Mako and Bolin borrowed suits and ties from some friends and Korra is dressed in a traditional watertribe dress and her hair is in a bun. No one seems to know what to expect, but the crowd of people who also are attending seem happy to be going so their nerves are somewhat calmed.
Korra-" What is it supposed to be like in there?"
Mako-"I dunno, a bunch of fancy rich people drooling over a bunch of fancy rich people inventions."
They have made their way to the grand doors at the capital. Mako stares up in amazement at how large they are. A doorman greets them and opens the giant over-sized doors with earthbending. In front of them is a large room filled with colorful stands that the inventors have set up to sell their products. People are everywhere talking, eating, laughing, and trying out the new inventions. A long white runway is in the back. The seats around it are slowly filling with people. The group walks around, still taking in their surroundings.
Announcer-"Please make your way to the runway seating area; the fashion show is about to begin."
Bolin-"Finally! I've been waiting my whole life for this!"
Bolin runs ahead to the seating area. Mako and Korra laugh at his eagerness and run to catch up to him. They finds that 3 seats have been reserved for them near the front and sit in them. The lights dim and the show starts. As it goes on, Mako and Korra become increasingly bored while Bolin has a big smile on his face. Mako knows that Bolin has about ten girls picked out for his "future girlfriend" and gives out a small chuckle as he turns and sees that Korra is asleep.
Announcer-"And now please give a big round of applause to the designer, Kanari!"
Mako's eyes light up and his mouth opens slightly in awe as he sits up in his seat. A tiny, blonde, Kanari walks on to the runway in an earthkingdom green short dress, smiling and waving at the crowd. Korra has been woken by the applause around her and looks around in a daze.
Mako(whispering)-"She's amazing."
Korra sees his reaction to the designer and crosses her arms, a look of jealousy overcomes her face.
After the show, Bolin has two large bags filled with the free stuff he has acquired. He has given up his search for a girlfriend and by that it means that the security guard wouldn't let him back stage to talk to the models. Korra seems to be in a hurry to get home and Mako searches the crowd. His eyes light up and a smile crosses his face as he spots who he has been looking for and walks towards Kanari. Kanari notices this and turns to talk to him, smiling. Mako sees her big, bluish green eyes and suddenly forgets what he came to talk to her about.
Kanari-"Hello, I'm Kanari. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Mako-"H-Hey, I'm...uh, Mako. I just wanted to say that I loved your show."
Kanari-"Thank you. You didn't think it was too long or anything did you?"
Mako-"No! It was perfect. Your very talented."
Kanari-"Wait, your Mako from the Fire Ferrets aren't you?"
Mako-"Yup, that's me!"
Kanarie-"I love pro-bending. I try to listen to all your matches on the radio."
Mako-"Have you ever been to a match in person?"
Kanari-"No, I've been so busy with this show I haven't had much time for anything."
Mako-"Really? Well, how would you like to have box seats at out match tomorrow night, on me. You can watch from our teams room."
Kanari-"That would be amazing! Thank you so much!"
A fancy red Satomoblie pulls up. A man gets out the drivers side and opens the door for Kanari.
Kanari-"Well, that's my ride, bye!"
Mako-"See you tomorrow."
As she walks away she flashes a big smile that makes Mako's heart skip a beat and she waves goodnight. He stares into her big, blue-green eyes, her blonde hair flowing in the breeze, and he waves goodbye in return. He walks back to Bolin and Korra still in a little shock of what he has just done. Bolin greets him with a pat on the back and Korra gives him the cold shoulder.
Bolin-"All right Mako! You have somewhat of a date tomorrow! Isn't that great?"
Mako-"You bet it is bro!"
Korra-"Yeah, great…"
Authors note: I made up a character because I don't think Asami would fit in this story very well. I made her blonde because I thought it was different and thats pretty much the only reason. Kanari means "Beautiful fairy" in Japanese which I thought fit her looks and personality. Also it was the only name I found that I liked after hours of research.
