Tahnorra: When I First Saw Her Smile

...and when I was delivering the final blow, I turned and someone caught my eye. That was the first time I saw her face and that beautiful smile. She looked at me and our eyes met. I heard my teammates and the crowd scream but I couldn't move. Her eyes widen and she looked eagerly my way. That was when I felt piece of rock hit my face and I was thrown to the ground.

"What the hell!!" said Ming as we were walking towards the lockers. "We're lucky that we won the first two rounds."

Shaozu also said something to me but all I could think of was getting to the locker rooms and find this girl. As we entered I saw her.
She was about to leave but my friends voices made her stop. MIng and Shaozu took no notice of her as they were celebrating our victory but I stopped and stared at her. She smiled at me again and was about to speak when all of the sudden those Fire Ferrets brothers walked in and called out her name. "Korra"

'What a unique name' I said to myself.

"We have to leave now." said the oldest.
Before she could protest, the youngest took her hand and the three walked out but she glanced my way as she passed the doorway.

The next few days I searched the streets trying to find out anything about this girl. It wasn't until I got home and picked up an old news paper from the floor that I saw her face again. "

"Avatar Korra joins the Fire Ferrets" read the headline. I tore that part out and hung her picture on the wall. I knew I would have to duel her if those Ferrets ever made it to the finals.

"I look forward to meeting you again. Uh-vatar"




E D I T: I continued the story



Who could have guessed I was to see her again a few weeks later in my favorite Water tribe Restaurant. There I was sitting with my friends and a couple of fans girls who joined our table. I was so busy entertaining them that I never noticed she walked through the door until I heard that familiar voice of one of those Ferret Brothers talking out loud. That's when we all looked his way and I saw her sitting across from him.

"Looks like the Ferret Boy found himself a girlfriend."said Shaozu

My expresion didn't change but inside I actually felt jealous for the first time though I didn't wan to to show it there in front of my friends. I keep staring at her until I finally caught her eye. I knew she asked the boy something about me because she pointed my way. He answered and she focused her eyes on me again and threw a challenging look my way.

"Did she just challenge you Tahno?" Whispered the girl with short hair.

'challenge accepted' I thought to myslef as I stood up and signaled my table to walk with me . The boy looked a bit nervous and as I approached and he went back to eating his noodles but she, on the other hand, keep straight eye contact with me until I got to her table.

I knew the words coming out of my mouth made me sound like a jerk but I was between jealous and nervous at the same time. No girl had ever made me feel this way and I wasn't about to show how intrested I was in her.

I leaned in front of her so I could have a better look at those deep blue eyes while I kept talking nonsense

"....I could give you some Private Lessons"

'Now where did that come from?" I asked myself as it left my lips. She didn't react the way I expected her to. Most girls just start giggling and blushing but not her.

She stood up and we were face to face.

'mmm so you think I'm a pretty boy, little girl' We kept staring at each other for a while. I knew she wanted to do something about it but the Ferret Boy warned her not to.

There was something cute about provoking this girl.

She raised her hand to her mouth and whistled hard. Then, out of that window came a big white polar bear dog and snarled my way, showing its big fangs. Without wanting to, a girl like scream escaped my mouth. Ming caught me just in time and he was about to do something but I raised my arms to stop him and we all walked away.

As I walked away I couldn't help to take a peek her way. She stood in the same place smiling at me, triumph written all over her face and as I turned, her lovely laughter filled my ears.

"You're really one of a Kind" said the young Ferret Boy.

'She really is' I smiled to myself
