"So my mother informed me that you've never been able to airbend before." Tenzin says as he is walking with Alexis and Korra while Korra is in airbending clothing.

"Yeah but I don't know why. The other elements came so easily to me but every single time I've tried airbending nothing. Even Alexis has tried to teach me and she hasn't had any luck." Korra says.

"She's not kidding." Alexis says.

"That's perfectly all right. You just need to be patient. Often the element that's the most difficult for the Avatar to master is the one most opposite to the Avatar's personality. For Aang it was earthbending." Tenzin says.

"Yeah. Well, I'm about as opposite an airbender as you can get. Though the elements were a piece of cake." Korra says as she accidentally waterbends some water at Alexis drenching her.

"Hey! Korra!" Alexis shouts as she growls slightly before shifting to wolf form and shaking the water off.

"Whoops. Sorry." Korra says.

"Let's begin your first lesson." Tenzin says as Alexis and Korra follow him up to some spinning wooden panels where Tenzin's children are waiting.

"Korra's gonna airbend! Korra's gonna airbend!" Ikki shouts happily.

"She's gonna try to Ikki. Hopefully with Tenzin she'll have better luck." Alexis says.

"What is that contraption?" Korra asks.

"A time-honored tool that teaches the most fundamental aspect of airbending. Jinora would you like to explain this exercise?" Tenzin asks as he looks at Jinora.

"The goal is to weave your way through the gates and make it to the other side without touching them." Jinora says.

"Seems easy enough." Korra says.

"Jinora forgot to say that you have to make it through while the gates are spinning." Ikki says as Tenzin airbends at the gates causing them to spin quickly.

"The key is to be like the leaf. Flow with the movement of the gates. Jinora will demonstrate. Airbending is all about spiral movements. When you meet resistance you must be able to switch direction at a moment's notice." Tenzin says as Jinora easily makes it through the spinning gates.

"Let's do this!" Korra says as she runs into the gates and begins getting knocked around.

"Don't force your way through!" Jinora shouts.

"Dance! Dance like the wind!" Ikki shouts.

"Korra just relax and let your body flow with the motion of the gates!" Alexis shouts.

"Be the leaf!" Meelo says as Korra then lands on the ground with Tenzin and Alexis shaking their heads.

*Timeskip*

"I think I'm doing it wrong." Korra says as she is attempting to meditate with Tenzin, Alexis, and the kids.

"Just let your mind go blank and relax." Alexis says as she keeps her eyes closed.

"There's nothing to do. Let your mind and your spirit be free for air is the element of freedom. Is something ... funny?" Tenzin asks as Korra chuckles.

"Yeah you're telling me to embrace freedom but you won't even let me listen to the radio. And forget about leaving this island!" Korra says.

"It's not that bad Korra. I rather enjoy the island. And after the last time in the city I don't have a problem staying put for the moment." Alexis says as she opens her eyes and looks at Korra.

"Please Korra. Look at Meelo. He's able to meditate peacefully." Tenzin says as he gestures to Meelo.

"I think he's asleep." Alexis says as she looks at Meelo.
