such a good story and idea, felt so real! thank you!

I really need a sequel fic where katara finds out and ice's aang and zuko to the ceiling. Then we need zuko to say his think about our place in the universe quote.

Aaaaw this was really sweet, and a nice idea. I've never seen a Bumi-centric fic before, so thanks for writing it! I loved it!

Perfect points all around. Mai is blunt, nonsense type it worked well her. Yes Bumi has the heart of an airbender mixed in with a dangerous warrior. ;) Aang relax Katara won't kill for this, probably just ice you to the ceiling again. (Giggles)

well that was nice, yeah I can see Sokka and Mai being the basis for Bumi's abilities before he grew into his own, it makes sense!

This is kind of amazing. Kudos! Major kudos for you and this fantastic story.

You write an amazing Mai, really. Her disinterest really showed, as well as her mild helpfulness. You really need to do a Mai/Ty Lee interaction piece of some sort. They are awesome friends and I think you could really make that shine.

"She had practically invented the disinterested look . . ."
Okay, I love the wittiness and sarcasm in your writing. It was the perfect tone for this story, since Mai played a big part in it. And speaking of Mai, you captured her perfectly. Well, you captured everyone else perfectly, too, actually :)
I also think you did justice to Bumi. Aww, I really am happy he made a name for himself as a commander of the United Forces :)
I also loved the frozen to the ceiling thing. And the knife-throwing thing is awesome. Bumi's always being compared to Sokka, and this is the first time I realized that he and Mai actually had stuff in common.
Long story short, this fic is amazing. I look forward to your next stories! :D

More, please. I love this unlikely duo and would like to see more of their interaction.

I'm cracking up from the ending! ;) Great writing, and I love the relationship between Mai and Bumi, it's spot on. I feel so bad for him, and I can just picture him hurling knives!

Not bad.

This was terrific. You captured the characters perfectly, and I love the fact that Mai now has a partner-in-crime, as it were. It's a unique pairing of characters, and you pulled it off excellently.

You made me laugh so hard I started crying! Thank you! XD Mai was written so perfectly! X3

Excellent work! I can really picture this scene happening, too. Yeah, Katara would probably be Upset, to put it mildly-until Sokka took her aside and, for once, gave his sister a firm talking to. Then she'd take a deep breath, and set up a small practice area for Bumi (and keep all those sharp knives under lock and key except for specific practice times.)

You should continue this story somehow, but on the other hand it is a very good one-shot. I like how Mai taught Bumi how to throw knives...seems appropriate to me in a weird way.
