Heyo. Here's Bolin's family's first Raavaday celebration.

Disclaimer: LoK can't be mine.

Malia was scurrying around the house, grabbing clothes and presents and plates of cookies while Bolin and Mako's relatives stared at her from the adjoining room. "What are you doing, dearie?" Yin—Bolin's grandmother (who Malia affectionately called Grandma)—asked.

"Just peachy," Malia called as something crashed to the ground. "Ah! The snickerdoodles!"

Yin turned to her grandson who was idly sipping some juice at the table. She walked over to him at a fast pace and whacked him in the back of his head. Tu choked on his drink and began coughing, looking up at his grandmother in mild irritation. "What was that for?" he whined, holding his head.

"Go help Malia, you lazy bum!" she commanded, pointing to the door to the kitchen.

Tu nodded and stood up, making his way into the kitchen where he found Malia on the floor, pouting while she picked up the cookies that fell to the floor. "Need help?" he asked, arms folded as he leaned against the doorframe.

She looked up at him and grinned, shaking her head. "Nah, I'm just being a klutz is all. Ruined a perfectly good batch of cookies, and now we're gonna be late getting to Varrick's, and…" she trailed off, making her way to the garbage can. Just as she was about to dump the batch of cookies, Tu took her wrist and grabbed one, taking a bite.

"Ew! Gross!" Malia laughed, lightly punching his shoulder as she threw the rest of the cookies away. "Those were on the floor, you nasty!"

"They taste alright to me," he replied, shrugging his shoulders.

"Well, thanks. They're my grandma's recipe." Malia began shuffling around the kitchen, grabbing bowls, eggs, flour, and all the other items needed to re-bake her cookies. As she began pouring the ingredients into a large bowl, she turned to Tu. "Will you preheat the oven to 350 please?"

"Will do." Tu walked over to the oven and stared at it for a good five minutes before Malia laughed and told him to press the button that says Bake. "Yeah, I knew that," he rolled his eyes.

An hour later, the cookies were baked and had cooled down. Malia put Tu in charge of carrying the cookies while she, Yin, and Chow carried the presents. The cookies went in the trunk of the Sato Mobile first and the gifts were stacked around them. In the car, Yin asked the question everyone in her family had been thinking. "Malia, dearie, what is Raavaday?"

"Hmm? Raavaday is the celebration of the day when Raava first came to be," Malia replied, keeping her eyes on the road. "Of course, no one really knows the actual date of when Raava first came to exist, but it's this is the way things are done."

"And if that's the way things are done then that is the way they have to be," Yin stated. Malia stared at the older women with a small smile on her face. "What?"

"Nothing, I just say the same thing," Malia laughed, turning back to the road. "I hope we're not the last ones there…"

And the last ones there, they weren't. Varrick hadn't even shown up by the time the group arrived. Korra was there with her parents and Asami. Fire Lord Zuko was there with his daughter and General Iroh. The Twin Chiefs of the Northern Water Tribe were standing in a corner with a girl who had multi-colored hair. Bolin was making Opal laugh by the punch bowl while Mako was looking for a way to get away from Prince Wu. The Beifong twins were rigging a prank with a girl who was on the shorter side. Su and Lin were discussing the differences in the police forces in Republic City and Zaofu. Even Tahno made it, and he and his band were getting ready to provide the musical entertainment for the night.

"Where do you want me to put the cookies?" Tu asked, looking at Malia over the pile in his arms.

"Oh, right!" she grinned, grabbing his arm. She led him to the snack table and took the top tray from his arms, placing it in its designated spot. After all the trays were on the table, Malia told Tu to go have fun while she brings Yin and Chow to put the gifts down.

After everything was in its place, Malia began to make her rounds, saying hello to people and introducing herself to others. She got into a heated conversation with Chief Desna about the scarcity of good tailors nowadays and teamed up with Bolin to make Opal laugh. However when Bolin pointed out how awkward Tu looked standing alone in a corner across the room, she excused herself and made her way over to him. "Hey, what happened to obnoxiously confident Tu?" she joked, throwing an arm over his shoulder. "Even your grandma's having fun!" Malia laughed, pointing to Yin who was dancing with Prince Wu. Tu shrugged in response. "Here, let me show you how to properly have fun at a party."

"What-"

She didn't let him finish asking the question as she dragged him into the middle of the dance floor. "Tahno, play that song that I like, yeah?" she called. Tahno looked over at her and smirked before he began playing a new melody.

"You know him pretty well, huh?" Tu asked as Malia began dancing (rather badly, I may add).

"I suppose so," she shrugged, looking over at him. "Now are you gonna dance with me or do I have to look like an idiot without you?"

Tu let out a low chuckle as he began to imitate Malia's movements.

… … …

When they got home, wrapped presents in hand, they were all exhausted. "Goodnight, guys," Malia yawned, rubbing her eyes as she made her way to her room.

"Goodnight, dearie," Yin called as she sat on the couch to open her present. She let out a squeal when she saw it was a book on every royal in the history of the Earth Kingdom and made a mental note to remind her to thank Malia in the morning. Chow got two tickets to the Probending Championship.

When Tu opened his, he was surprised to find a professional weight lifting kit and a handwritten letter from Malia. He shook his head, placing the box on his bed before making his way to the girl's room. He knocked on the door and waited a few minutes before he heard a soft "come in."

He found Malia lying on her bed, reading a book about the Avatar Cycle and its effect on the advancement of bending techniques. She looked up at him and grinned, waving him over. He made his way to the side of her bed and stood there until she laughed at him and said he could sit on her bed if he wanted.

He hesitated for a moment before sitting down next to her while she sat up. "What's up, Tu?" she asked, placing a bookmark in her book.

"You didn't have to get me anything," he said, trying to radiate an aura of aloofness.

"Of course I did," she laughed, poking his cheek. "Why wouldn't I?"

"I didn't get you anything…" he replied matter-of-factly.

"That's fine," she grinned. "I just like having people around. People to keep me company and listen to me when I need to talk. I mean, you do that for me on a regular basis, so I figured…Well, anyway, I just like giving people things, I guess."

"When you put it that way," Tu smirked, standing up. "You're welcome."

"Oh, Tu! Before you go," Malia grinned as she stood to face him. "I have one last gift for you."

"Are you insane?" he replied, eyes wide. "If you spent another-" he broke off as Malia placed her lips against his. She pulled away a second later, offering a soft smile as she booped his nose. Tu stared at her for a while before shaking his head. "What was that?"

"The last part of your present," she replied, shooing him out of her room. "Now, out! I'm tired!"

There you have it, my lovelies!

Lots of love, minions! Feel free to R&R.

Yours psychotically,

Vee
