Korra, Bolin and Mako entered the dining hall.
"Hey," Wei said.
"How was practice?" Kai asked.
"Great," Bolin grinned, throwing some mock punches, "We're really getting in the groove of things,"
"It really does feel like we're back to the level we used to be," Mako said.
"I hope so. It would be embarrassing if you came out of retirement only to lose," Wing said.
"Thank Wing. The vote of conferences is comforting," Korra snorted, "So anything noteworthy happen today?"
"The Fire Ferrets are in an article," Ikki said.
"Another one?" Mako asked.
"You've got the whole city jumping," Jinora grinned.
"I figured there would be some hype, but I never guessed it would be this much," Korra took the magazine from Ikki, she, Bolin and Mako putting their heads together to read.
"You were right in Asami when you said they'd be a big draw," Opal said.
"With all the excitement they're causing I'm going to had PR assistant for the Fire Ferrets to my list of qualification,"
"What?" Korra, Bolin and Mako looked up at her.
"Pro-Bending Digest contacted me, they want to run an article on all the teams taking part and they want you for a photo shoot,"
"They do?" Bolin's eyes lit up, "What did you say?"
"I told them you have to talk to you, and I might have mentioned that you won't be interested unless you got the cover,"
"Oh that's clever," Mako smirked.
Asami shrugged, "I'm not a business women for nothing. So what do you want to do?"
"Guys, please. Let's do it. We'll be on the cover of a magazine," Bolin clasped his hands together, looking at Mako and Korra with puppy dog eyes. They looked at each and smile.
"Yeah, why not," Korra said.
"It might be fun,"
"And you'll get pose in your new uniforms," Asami grinned. That bit of information got their attention.
"Our new uniforms are finished?" Korra asked.
"Can we see them?"
"Yeah, sure they're in my r-"
Korra and Bolin were gone.
"Korra, you're in the way!"
"If you'd move I'd get out of the way!"
The other chuckled when they heard their voices from the hall. Mako face palmed, while and Asami shared a look shaking their head, amused smiles on their lips.
The duo came strutting back into the room, carrying their head gear under arms.
"How do we look?" Bolin asked, flexing an arm.
"They look great Asami," Mako said.
"Thanks, I most kept the old look, but with a few changes here and there,"
The suits were a bit more streamlined, but still loose enough that it was easy to move with the padding built into the outfits. The collars were flared up. And on the chest, on the Future Industries gear there was an overlay of the flaming fire ferret logo.
"I'm even more excited for the match now," Korra said.
"And even if you do screw up and lose in the first match, at least you'll still look great." Kai smirked.
Bolin frowned, "Some little brother you are,"
There is one article from Pro-Bending Digest, and then a Late Night Rumble following this. And then it will be the match.
