As each team was getting ready to enter the ring, Bolin was giving his newbies a pep talk. He had faith in this two, or at least he tried. Ever since Korra and Mako were preoccupied with their duties, Korra training and Mako out beating crime, he was by himself. He was the new captain of the Fire Ferrets, trying to make the former name live up to its glory, but with these two newcomers it just didn't seem possible.

As he was about to speak to them he could picture himself lecturing Korra and Mako. A sudden smile spread across Bolin's face as he thought how ridiculous that situation would be. At that Bolin kept his smile on his face and began the heroic talk.

"We all know their last match was garbage. Terrible. Even Pabu could've done a better job," Bolin said as Pabu squeaked and growled in return.

"But that's in the past. Because when you back the Fire Ferrets in a corner, well Mister, he comes out to fight it. So lets get out there and bend like there's no tomorrow! Are you with me?" he yelled. Although, when he looked up, Ty and Rotauk, the newcomers, sat there unenthusiastic and bored out of their minds. They looked lost and looked like little kids who were learning something for the first time.

Bolin's spirit suddenly sank and his shoulders went with it. He knew there was little hope for tonight, but at least he was going to try anyway.

"Well team, lets get out there and kick some bending butt."

The Fire Ferrets, and a saddened Bolin, walked out of their changing room and out the door to the elevator to bring them up. As they walked out of the last pair of doors, they could hear the announcers voice booming throughout the stadium.

"And here, to the left, are wonderful Fire Ferrets appear! They showed some tough and outstanding displays last tournament, but folks, can they pull of another win tonight?"

Bolin looked over at Ty and Rotauk as the elevator reached the top of the ring. Their eyes were gleaming at the sight of the arena. They had never seen anything like it despite them already being in here for previous fights. The two youngsters couldn't seem to get over the the large capacity of the arena. At this Bolin cracked another smile. He remembered his first reaction to the arena and Korra's reaction as well. Her big blue eyes searching the stadium like it was a whole new world; however, Bloin cut off the happy thoughts and ushered the two noobies forward to the center of the stadium.

"Tonight is either going to be really good, or really bad," he mumbled. Bolin peered behind him once more to see if anyone, like Korra or Mako, were watching, but to his dismay no one stood in the overlook. Tonight was going to be like any other, alone fighting with no little greeting crowd for the team. What happened to his best friend and brother?

While the teams were getting ready inside the Pro-Bending stadium, some commotion was being caused outside. A young girl on a glider swept over the crowd outside, and screams and shouts were being tossed at her. Korra twisted her body to the side and swept the glider to the left to avoid hitting an old man with his wife.

"Watch where you're going young lady!" the man cried.

"I'm so sorry, Sir," yelled Korra as she kept flying. It was her fault the glider wasn't working with her. "Damn. Can't this think just go straight? Can't i-" suddenly her eyes widened and so did the person in front of her. "Oh. My-" but she didn't have time to finish.

Korra immediately banked the air glider to the right to avoid smashing into the young boy in front of her. As a result of this a scream was let out then a giant crash. The glider glided a few feet away from Korra then dropped to the ground. She slowly pushed herself up then looked around.

"Why? Why can't I just control an air glider? It's all Tenzin's fault." She forced herself to stand up and Korra brushed herself off. She had to quickly get inside before the match started. She wanted to make she caught the whole thing because Korra wanted to be there for her best friend; however, as she was about to take a step she realized a crowd formed around her.

"Are you okay young lady?"

"Wait. Isn't that the Avatar?"

"Yeah, that's Avatar Korra!"

"What's she doing here?"

"Are you okay Avatar Korra?"

A smile grazed her lips, but then a bit of frustration kicked in. Korra looked around at the civilians and sighed.

"Yes, I'm fine and yes it's me Korra. Sorry for the interruption, but I really have to get inside," she said and before another person could reply she was gone to grab the air glider. She dodged past people and weaved in and out of the crowd. With a quick motion the air glider was in her and the next Korra was dashing inside the Pro-Bending stadium as fast as she could.

"Okay guys this is it. We can beat these Rumble Lions. Just remember what we went over, and bend like it's your last time."

The two young boys nodded at their captain, Bolin, as the referee and the announcer were about to start the match. The crowd was roaring and cheering erupted through the stadium, but before the referee could blow the whistle the crowd fell silent. All eyes lay on the two teams in the center of the ring; the Fire Ferrets and the Rumble Lions. The referee suddenly lifted his hand and called out that both teams were ready then a ring ran out through the stadium and both team bended their elements.

Both teams stared each other in the eye. Each person of each element stared at their opponent of the opposite team. A tension ran through each side of the ring, then each released their elements in a blur and...

Bolin suddenly got smashed into the face with a earth slab, causing him to scatter back then a water whip was lashed right at him head on. This sent him right into the air and easily crashing past all three zones and off the ring into the water below. Ty was soon to follow less then a second after, getting blasted by a wave of fire, and Rotauk followed after Ty. Rotauk hit in the gut with an earth slab, staggered back, got hit in the left side with a fire attack, then a wave of water shot at him knocking him right out of the ring.

"Oh! The Fire Ferrets go back in the water! And right into record books for the fastest knock out in Pro-Bending history!" screamed the announcer as a rupture of joy and defeat ran through the crowd. Boos and cheers could be heard throughout and they easily caught the ears of the Fire Ferrets as they pulled themselves out from the waters below. Bolin shot out of the water and leaned on the side of the latter soaked. Defeat ran through him as well, but disappoint as well along with loneliness. With this new team in all, it just wasn't like the good old days. Mako wasn't there to whip them back into shape and Korra wasn't there to rally up some fun.

"Where's Mako when I need him?" questioned Bolin out of distress; however, behind him a scream was let out.

"Help me! I can't swim! the water's trying to kill me!"

Bolin turned around to see Rotauk flailing in the water while Ty floated a few feet away hysterically laughing. Despite Rotauk size, since he was rather a 'large' boy, he couldn't swim well. Ty on the other hand, could swim with ease because he was skinny and water was his native element. At this Bolin sighed and turned around to go save Rotauk, so he didn't die of drowning. Just as Bolin was about to reach Rotauk all of them were enveloped in a wave of water.

"What the-"

"Ty is this you?"

"Don't kill me!"

The next thing they knew all three were washed up on the cement area. Bolin raised his head to see what had caused the sudden action, but instead of getting angry a smile spread across his face. On the other hand Ty and Rotauk sat there with their mouths gaping open.

"That's."

"The."

"Avatar!" They screamed in unison.

"Korra!"

"Hey there, Bo."

"Was that really necessary Korra? I know you have the sudden urge to be near me and my awesomeness, but at least you could be a little less rough. You wouldn't want my wonderful locks to get in a twist would you?" said Bolin in his usual playful voice. At this Korra put her hands on her hips and stuck out her tongue.

"We all adore and love you, but just keep quiet for a second. I think this is how you airbend someone dry..." At this Korra took a light stance and positioned her hands.

"Korra I...Wait what are you-" but before Bolin could complete his sentence him and two of his teammates were blasted with a giant gust of air. The next thing they knew they were sitting they were sitting there all drying, while Ty and Rotauk sat there stunned.

"AWESOME!" they both screamed.

Korra looked over at the two of them and let out a laugh. She did a tiny bow and turned to Bolin. She then offered Bolin a hand and helped him up. As Korra looked at Bolin's face see saw that same expression she knew well, filled with distress and defeat. She placed a hand on Bolin's shoulder and he looked up.

"Bolin, I watched the match. I know it wasn't a pretty one, but at least put on a smile. It's not like you to have a frown. Pabu would agree with me, wouldn't you little guy?" Suddenly Pabu appeared on Korra's shoulder squeaking in agreement then slipped onto Bolin's shoulder and nuzzled him in the neck. Bolin scratched the little fire ferrets head and smiled.

"You're right Korra. It's just not the same without you and Mako."

"That's my B-" and suddenly Korra was gasping for air as Bolin squeezed her in a hug. "Bo...lin...AIR!" she cried. Bolin quickly let her go and let out a chuckle.

"I thought you wanted to be close to me. That's a privilege Korra."

Korra rolled her eyes at this and gave Bolin a playful punch. After that all of them walked up to the changing room. Ty and Rotauk quickly changed and ran out saying they had somewhere to be. Bolin reminded them they still had training tomorrow as they disappeared. Korra and Bolin stood around for a few discussing and going over some things. They shared a few laughs and smiles like old times before Amon had ravaged through Republic City. Although, if Korra had to say, after all the hardships she and her friends went through, everything didn't turn out that bad.

"Speaking of my brother Korra, how about we pay him a little 'visit' at the station?" Korra looked at Bolin and caught the glint in his eye.

"Is this 'visit' what I'm thinking it is?"

"Our minds usually think alike, so yes, I'm guessing you know what 'visit' means. I just don't know if Lin would freak out. You know how she is. She's like a grandma I wish I never had." Korra laughed at Bolin and rolled her eyes.

"Trust me. I know a way to get in and we won't be noticed. Mako needs a little punishment anyway for the prank he pulled on me last week you know."

They spent a few more minutes discussing the plan and walked out of the Fire Ferret's changing room with wicked smiles.

Back at the Air Temple Pema was having her hands full with Rohan crying. He flailed, but was soon silenced when Pema fed him a bottle. She rocked Rohan back and forth in the chair she was in. Sweet humming and singing came from her as Rohan slowly started to drift off. but it was never quiet around there and Meelo dashed into the room being chased by Ikki.

"Mommy save me from the evil monster!" cried Meelo.

"He smelled my room mom! He came in and said 'The Almighty King is here!' Then let out a fart and ran out!"

The two kids kept arguing before they could realize their mother's face. Pema's face burned with aggravation and suddenly Rohan's crying started up again. Soon Rohan's screaming and the children's aruging mixed together and sounded like a death song to Pema's ears.

"Please by quiet!"

All three children fell silent and looked over at their mother. She was breathing heavily, but she usually never lost it that easily. It was just that the kids were screaming and fighting all day. Pema couldn't take it anymore.

"I need you kids to stop-" before Pema could finish Tenzin walked in.

"Have any of you seen Korra?"

Tenzin looked over at Meelo and Ikki to see them shaking their heads. Pema just sat there staring at her husband and Rohan just started giggling.

"She was supposed to meet with me a half an hour ago for airbending training but I don't know where she is," said Tenzin.

The room remained silent, but to complete the family reunion Jinora ran in.

"Dad, have you seen my air glider? I left it on the racks outside, but mine's gone."

"No honey I haven't, however, have you seen Korra anywhere? I know you two were hanging out earlier and-" Suddenly something dawned on Tenzin and he fell stiff. Along with that his face tightened and everyone in the room knew things were about to get a little more crazy.
