We got to the police headquarters, and I ran inside leaving Kavi outside. I saw Tenzin and Korra inside.
"Tenzin please don't send me back!" Korra pleaded.
"You disobeyed my wishes and the Order of the White Lotus'" They were at each other's neck.
"Hey, what happened?" I chimed in.
"Kalani you're here too?" Tenzin looked disappointed, I knew it…
"Nothing happened ,Kalani." Korra said, I sighed.
"You both disobeyed me; I should send you both back."
"Tenzin, I saw a lot of the city today and things are completely out of line. My duty as the avatar is to keep balance in the world, and right now Republic City needs me." That was the most mature thing I have ever heard Korra say. "I understand why you have to stay. Republic City needs you, but it needs me too."
Tenzin groaned. "Fine, you can stay. Come, let's go to the island."
"Yes!" Korra shouted. I won't lie I was happy too. Republic City has proven to be a great place. And I think it's only going to get better.
That night we were all sitting around the table eating.
"Tenzin, we should all go see the Pro-bending match tonight." Korra said smiling widely. I choked on my rice. I was still planning on going this evening to see Mako...I mean see the match! And Mako would be there… I couldn't stop thinking about Mako…His chiseled features, his brown eyes, or how soothing his voice was…
"Kalani are you okay?" Everyone was staring at me.
"Uh, yeah I'm fine. I was actually thinking about going to the Pro-Bending match tonight…" I said sipping my tea.
"I didn't think you'd be into that kind of stuff, but you see! Kalani wants to go to!" Korra said.
"Pro-bending is mockery of the art of Bending. Plus Korra, you're here to learn Air bending. So for the remainder of your stay I want you to stay on the Island. You need a calm quite environment."
"So I can't go either?" I asked looking at Tenzin. He shook his head no. "Okay…"
Korra and I went to bed pretty early. Our rooms were right next to each to each other's. I paced around my room. Okay, I'm going to do it! I'm going to do it! I am going to the Pro-Bending match. This is crazy, this is insane! I have never done something like this on my own. But I have to go! You're becoming Korra; do you really want to be like her? Hot headed, disobedient. I completely ignored the voice and started walking out side of my room. No! My body jerked back. What was that? Weird. I continue to sneak down the halls. I walked on the tips of my toes, to the door which seemed to be a mile away.
"Well, hello." I snapped up to see Korra standing there. "What are you doing?"
I blushed. "I-uh…Wait. What are you doing?" She looked like a dear caught in headlights.
She sighed. "Look, I have to go the Pro Bending match tonight! Now, where are you going?"
I looked down. "The Pro-Bending arena…Look I won't tell if you won't, now let's just go!"
"Fine by me, I kind of like this new rebellious Kalani." She smirked.
"Shut up." Insolent Child! I shook my head. Korra and I both ran to the window. Korra jumped out first, and then I did. We ran to the edge of the island. Before we got there, I froze a block of ice and we both jumped onto it. Korra pushed us to the arena. I won't lie, when Mako invited me I didn't think I would have to sneak in…
When we got to the Arena, we both pushed water up ejecting us from the ice. We jumped onto a balcony in the arena. We walked inside, the hallway looked familiar. This is where I met Mako, we passed by a room. It appeared to be a gym, Korra and I walked back inside.
"This must be where the players train." Korra said.
"Hey!" We both turned around. There was an older man. "What are you doing in my gym?"
"I was invited here." I said quickly. "By Mako."
"And you?" He pointed to Korra.
"I was looking for the bathroom and got lost." Korra tried to convince the man.
"Like I haven't heard that before! Y'know I'm tired of hearing you kids and that excuse! I'm taking you to security!" I knew this was bad idea! You should have listened to me. You always should listen to me.
"There you are!" We all looked to the door way. A very muscular young man wearing a red armored suit with a green sashed walked in. "I've been looking everywhere for you two." This was the same kid who I saw when I met Mako. "It's okay Toza, They're with me. No come on you two." Toza walked away grumpily, as we walked out of the gym.
"Thank you." Korra said as we walked down the hall.
"Yeah, thanks." I agreed.
"No problem. The name's Bolin." He said wrapping his arms around both of our shoulders.
"I'm Korra." She said walking out of his arms.
"Kalani." I said doing the same.
"Hey, you're the girl that was with Mako." He said pointing at me.
"Yeah, can you take me to him?" I tried not to sound to egger.
"Sure and why don't you come with me Korra." He said doing a goofy smirking and raising his eyebrows. We followed him into a small room. "Right through here." He opened the door for us. We both walked in.
"Whoa…" We said walking in. It was a balcony that looked over the whole arena, it was magnificent.
"Best seats in the house." I turned around to see Mako standing there. "I'm glad you could come.
"Oh! Hey… It took a lot to get here. " I said blushing. "And this is amazing." I said gesturing the arena filled with screaming fans.
"This is incredible." We both heard Korra say. Mako looked kind of pissed.
"Hey Bolin, I told you, you have to stop bringing your crazy fan girls in here. Get her out of here." I realized he was talking about Korra.
"C'mon on bro. One, she's not a fan girl, she's different. I can tell. And two, I can't bring girls up here but you can." He said looking at me. I started getting nervous.
"If you want me to leave I can…"
"No!" Mako said a little quickly. "I mean…no. It's fine. Kalani, this is my brother Bolin."
"We've meet, I showed her and Korra the way here." Bolin said Korra stepped forward. "Korra this is my brother Mako. And that's Hasook." He pointed to a guy in the corner wearing the same thing only with a blue sash.
"You're Mako? I heard so much about you!" Korra said excitedly.
"Yeah, ok." He said brushing her off. Korra looked peeved. That was a kick to her ego. "C'mon guys we're up." Mako, Bolin and Hasook walked onto a platform. It lowered them to the diamond shaped platform in the middle. An unseen announcer started speaking.
"On this side is the Fire Ferrets! They came out of nowhere, but are sweeping upthe competition!" Bolin, Mako and Hasook walked onto the red half platform. Korra and I started cheering.
"And on this side we have the Tigerdillos! This will definitely be the hardest completion yet for The Fire Ferrets…And there off!"
Three elements started firing everywhere. The water bender and the fire bender easily got Bolin and Hasook, sending them flying back behind the first line that was on the field, Mako was still in the front.
Mako was easily doing flips and tricks mid-air avoiding the attacks from the other team. But while in the air he gets hit right in the stomach with a rock sending back with Bolin and Hasook.
"At that Mako goes flying back, giving the green light to the Tigerdillos to move into Ferret territory." The announcer said. The Tigerdillos moved onto the red part of the platform.
The Ferrets were losing miserably. I sighed. Hasook was hit in the center with a rock, knocking off the platform.
"And Hasook takes a dip; he'll be back for round two. That is assuming the infamous bending brothers can hold it together." The announcer said. Bolin and Mako were getting hit pretty hard; they were knocked into the last zone. Korra and I were on the edge of our seats.
"And the round goes to the Tigerdillos!" The announcer announced. I sighed. Hasook came back onto the platform. All of the Fire Ferrets went to the first zone. The Ferrets managed to step up their game up, taking the next round very quickly. They were tied one to one. They were entering the final round.
The Tigerdillos teamed up on Hasook making him stumble until he fell over onto Bolin. I heard Korra gasp. "C'mon Bolin get up. Get up!" I gave her a weird look. They were hit by all three elements knocking them off the platform in one shot. Mako was left alone. He got knocked back to the last zone. He started dodging their attacks, then when they least expected it he shot them all with huge blast of fire knocking them the platform one by one. The bell sounded signaling the win of the Fire Ferrets. Korra and I started cheering loudly with the rest of the crowd. Mako was waving at the crowd. He looked to the balcony we were in; he looked straight at me and winked. I blushed. I looked down; I could see Korra giving me a weird look out of the corner of my eye. They all came back up to the balcony.
"So what did you think Korra?" Bolin said while leaning on a wall. They went into a little conversation.
Then I saw Mako and Hasook come over.
"You did more harm than good." Mako said slightly aggravated.
"We won the match didn't we? Just get of my case." Hasook stormed out the room. Mako sighed then turned to look at me.
"Sorry about that." He said starting to walk out of the room, I fallowed him. "So what did you think?" He asked awkwardly. Bolin and Korra were close behind us as we walked down the hall.
"You were great." I said kind of dazed, and then I quickly composed myself. "I mean your team was great…Well you were great too! Well…yeah…" I nervously stroked the end of my hair. I heard him chuckle.
"Thanks…" We wall walked into the gym. Bolin and Korra were doing some bending things. While Mako and I sat in the back.
"So how long are you here?" Mako asked wiping some sweat of his forehead with a towel.
"Well, I guess however long as Korra is here. I came here with her."
"Well, I was born here. I can show you around if you'd like?" He asked kind of looking away.
I was about to respond. Say no. I sharply inhaled. Did you hear me? I said say no! I felt a pound in my head and I tried to hide it.
"If you don't want to go I understand." Mako said.
"No! I mean, no. I want to, I'd love to." I said faking a smile.
"Great, meet me in front of the Arena tomorrow afternoon."
"Cool." You disobeyed me! This wasn't going to be good. I needed to get out of here. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow, I got to go." I ran grabbing Korra as I left the room.
"What as that for?" Korra yelled at me. Never disobey me! I got a huge headache that brought me to my knees. "Kalani, are you okay?" Korra said coming down to me level. The pain started to dull away.
"I'm fine." I said slowly coming to my feet. "Can we just go home?" Korra nodded slowly. I think I slightly scared her…I was scared myself. Never disobey me again…
