~Yui's POV~

Akai has wanted to go to a pro-bending match forever, I knew my old friend Korra was apart of the 'Fire Ferrets' and they had made it to the champs. I was really happy for her. Hopefully she still remembers me, if she does I hope she's forgiven me as well.

I had been working as a waitress at a restaurant called 'Bendtastic' it's not to popular, but it does get a lot of customers. I get a pretty good pay to, although I do use my bending to help. They ask me to preform on the stage, it attracts a bunch of customers apparently.

Anyways, I finally got enough money to pay to get into the match, for both me and Akai. She's gotten really good, I've been training her of all I know. I also was training for a few years with Master Tenzin as well. He has three kids all around Akai's age so we go there often. Yuki has grown as well. She isn't just a little dragon anymore. The cool thing is she's able to change sizes, so I can ride her to Air Temple Island or I can carry her in my bag.

We got to move into a house with an old man and his wife, but we had to pay for our own things, besides food. We have become close, but not to close. I was just finishing up work here and then I would be heading back home to take Akai out to the pro-bending match.

Two boys from when I first got here in town where on Korra's team as well. Mako and Bolin. They helped me a lot during the first few years, it was really tough, but the four of us including Akai, made it through. When Akai and I moved into our current home, we offered for the boys to come as well, but they said they didn't want to burden me with any more mouths to feed. And they left no room for argument.

I felt bad, like, really bad. But they declined and I haven't seen either of them since. Well, actually talked to them. I've seen Bolin here and there, and the odd times Mako, but that was about it. Just as I was about to walk out the door of 'Bendtastic' the calming classical music suddenly changed and I heard a voice I wish to forget.

"Good morning citizens of Republic city" The 'voice' started. "This is Amon. I hope you all enjoyed last nights pro-bending match. Because it will be the last." He said. "It's time for this city to stop worshipping bending athletes as if they were heroes" He said again. "I am calling on the council to shut down the bending arena and cancel the finals" He said once again. "Or else there will be severe consequences" Then it went back to the normal radio.

I rushed out of the small restaurant, and quickly darted home. I rushed in to see Akai sitting quietly petting Yuki, while staring at the radio.

"You heard what he said too, right?" She said. I just quietly nodded my head.

"Well... um.... If the finales aren't canceled, then I bought us some tickets to go.... That is if yo-" Before I could finish, Akai was already jumping in the air, nearly screaming.

"YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! A MILLION TIMES YES!!!!!!" I just laughed at my younger siblings antics, and nodded my head.

"Alright, alright. Now I'm going to go catch a quick nap. I pulled an all nighter, as well as all of yesterday to finish getting enough for the both of us to go. Now quite down before you wake up Don and Jun. Okay?"
