Disclaimer: I own none of the characters, except for Joon, Liwei, Meili, Mizuki, Eri, and (I think) Ursa. Wish I did, though.

Happy reading! And please review!

While Lin was telling her story, Korra watched the people in the courtyard with interest. There were beautiful women talking with each other while some other children were playing in the grass. After a bit of thinking, she walked towards the kids in the grass.

As she got closer, she noticed more about the group. Three girls were playing tag with a group of four boys while their mothers looked on. She hesitated a bit before speaking up.

"Umm, excuse me?" she asked.

The kids stopped and stared at her.

"Can I play with you guys?"

"Do you know how to play tag?" asked a girl with chestnut-colored hair, slightly tanned skin, and amber eyes.

Korra shook her head.

"It's okay, you can learn super easily!" the girl assured her. "If you join, we'll have even teams!"

The young waterbender smiled and scampered off to join her new friends and ended up playing tag for quite some time. It was only at the women's behest that the kids sat down and ate.

"So who are you all anyways?" Korra asked while munching on crab puffs.

"I'm Joon and I'm four," said the girl who spoke earlier. "This is Asami," she said as she gestured to a girl with jet-black hair and green eyes who was wearing a grass-stained white dress. Asami waved back, as she was in the middle of eating. "She's a martial artist. She can kick everyone's butt," said Joon in a stage whisper.

"If only," Asami said after swallowing. "I just started a couple months ago. I'm not very good."

"Sure you're not," Korra said with a teasing smile, which was quickly returned.

"I'm Meili," said a girl with dark brown hair and intense amber eyes. "I live in Shu Jing right now with my grandmother and twin brother," she said. "He's over there."

Meili pointed to a boy who was the very image of herself. "Liwei!" she called out. "Come meet our new friend!"

Liwei, along with the other boys, came over. "I'm Liwei," he said. "This is my cousin, Iroh." He gestured to a slightly taller boy, who had dark black hair and shared the same amber eyes.

"I'm Mako," said another boy. He had black hair and amber eyes as well. "This is my little brother, Bolin." Korra looked at the other boy, then back at Mako. Sure, they had the same black hair, but Bolin's was curlier, and he was slightly stockier than his brother. He also possessed green eyes as opposed to amber.

"Hi," Korra said back. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Korra."

Immediately the children hushed.

"Korra? As in the new avatar Korra?" Bolin asked.

"Of course it is, Rollie-Bollie, can't you tell?" Meili said.

Soon everyone started to ask questions.

"What's it like?"

"Can you bend every element?"

"Have you met a spirit yet?"

"Guys, guys!" Mako piped up. "She'll answer in time. For now, she probably has questions of her own."

Korra gave him a smile as thanks, and he responded likewise.

"Well, what do you want to know?" Asami asked.

The waterbender thought for a moment. "Hmm...for one thing, who are the women that have been watching us?"

The group turned around to see three women. One wore a light green dress, which perfectly went with her jet black hair and green eyes; the woman next to her wore a pink dress and had brown hair and eyes; and the last woman wore red and had black hair paired with amber eyes. All of them were deep in conversation with each other.

"The first woman is Yasuko Sato," Liwei said. "Asami's mom."

The two Satos eerily resembled each other. In fact, it could be said that Asami was a younger version of her mother.

"The second woman is Naoki," said Meili. "She's Bolin's and Mako's mama."

Korra nodded along. "Who's the last one?"

"That's Fire Princess Izumi," Mako said. "She's Joon's aunt and Iroh's mom."

"Oh," Korra said. "How do they all know each other?"

"Mama and the rest of 'em went to school here on the island," Iroh said. "Since they're all firebenders, they left the island half-day so Grandpa Zuko could teach them how to bend. They're really good, but they don't bend that often."

"Who's Grandpa Zuko?" Korra asked.

"He's the man talking to all the moms right now. If you wave, he'll wave back."

She waved, then took a double take. "Wait, he has a flame on his face? That's so awesome!"

Iroh cracked a smile. "Yeah, he's pretty cool. He's promised me that he'll teach me firebending one day."

"Not if Grandma Azula gets to you first!" exclaimed Liwei.

'Okay, now who's Grandma Azula?" Korra questioned.

"Grandma Azula is Zuko's younger sister," Meili explained. "When she was a teenager, they tried to hunt down your former self. Zuko soon saw the errors of his ways, but Grandma...not so much."

Korra gulped, her eyes getting bigger.

"No, no, don't worry, she never got you," Liwei assured her. "Instead, while the old you was fighting our great-grandfather, Grandma was fighting Grand-uncle Zuko in a humongous Agni Kai. She didn't win, though; she had a mental breakdown instead."

"From what Grandfather tells me, it was pretty bad," Iroh said. "It took her about eight years to fully recover. But during that time she saw the light."

"She knew that everything she had done was wrong, and set out to correct it," Joon continued. "She apologized to everyone, and she set out to prove that she had indeed changed by joining the then newly-formed United Forces. Worked herself up to Commander, I think."

Korra nodded, then with a devilish grin started another game of tag. The children continued to play until they tired themselves out so thoroughly that they were carried to the children's dormitories to sleep.

In the meantime, Lin had cornered Tenzin in the kitchen. Most everyone had gone upstairs to sleep, so she felt that now was the perfect time to confront her boyfriend about his earlier behavior.

"Tenzin, what is going on?"

"Nothing dear, I promise you-"

"Really? Then explain to me why you and Pen happened to bump into each other in the courtyard-"

"It's Pema, and it was an accident-"

"-with your lips?"

Tenzin sighed. This is really not how he wanted this to go down…

"Tenzin," Lin sighed. "I love you, but we can't keep on acting like nothing's wrong!"

"I know," Tenzin agreed. "That's why I think we should break up."
