Once we watched in the arena, we noticed that a majority of the crowd were enjoying being there. I smiled at the fact that the arena was one of the few places in Republic City where non benders and benders could get together without fighting.

Mako, Bolin, Mika and I were about to sit on one of the benches towards the back wall when the announcer's voice came over the speaker.

"Ladies and Gentleman, if you divert your attention to the back wall of the West side of the arena you will see two Probending Teams!" I groaned and tried to hide in Mako's chest as the spotlight hit us.

"It seems the The Sneaky Sisters have combined with the Bending Brothers" he spoke into the mike causing the boys to chuckle and Mika and I to blush bright red. "Come up here guys"

We hesitantly rose from our seats and followed one of the security guards up to the box where the announcer sat.

"Mako, Amaya. Come, sit" he insisted with a wave of his arm. I sighed and followed Mako over to him.

"Uh, there's only one seat" I hesitate. The man chuckles into the mike so the entire crowd hears.

"Just sit on Mako" I close my eyes and shake my head as Mako moves his arms and allows me to sit on his lap.

"So, Mako and Amaya. The new Hottest Flame Couple of the Probending competition. How does it feel?" he smiles sliding the microphone over to Mako.

"It.... it feels great to know that a girl as talented as she is will give me a chance" he says with a tint of pink finding its way onto his cheeks. I giggle and pinch his cheeks causing him to narrow his eyes at me before he gets up and walks out bringing me with him.

"Sit up here!" The announcer, who I never bothered to learn his name exclaimed. We turned to see the boxes where the President or important people sit.

"We couldn't" Mika declined but the announcer cut her off. He demanded we sit in the boxes. With reluctance we accepted. We wandered over to the massive boxes but found that there were only two seats in each. I was about to grab Mika and run but Mako got to me first and pulled me away.

I sat down just as the two teams were coming out. The Sporcupines and The Rabbaroos stepped into the playing field and shook hands.

"Mako, Do you think they'll sit allow me to Probend if I'm somewhat the avatar?" I ask looking straight ahead as the Rabbaroos earth bender is pushed off the end of the field and into the pool.

I feel his hand envelope mine as being it into his lap. "Don't worry. You and Mika will still Probend okay? I mean it's not like they won't let you"

I shrugged and froze when the announcer said that the match was over and that the Capital City Catgators would go up against the Ember Island Eel Hounds.

I groaned and went out side to grab Mika. She was standing outside the door to the locker room with a distraught face.

"Mika, What's wrong?"

"Ryo. He said he couldn't make it to anymore matches because his bending was acting up. Something to do with the moon" she grumbled the last part.

I groaned really loudly causing two chuckles to respond. Mako and Bolin walked up "Good luck guys"

"Well, it looks like we're going to have to forfeit" I say running a hand through My hair. "Ryo's bending is acting up"

"Well maybe Bolin can earthbend while Mika can waterbend" Mako suggests.

I shrug and get a false mustache and stick it to Bolin's face. He nodded and high fived Mika who had finished dressing in the waterbender gear.

Bolin got dressed and waddled around afterward, his brother laughing at his action.

"It feels so weird!" he muttered waddling towards his brother.

"Bo, it's the same gear as yours" he says with a smirk.

"But it's Blue!" I sigh and push him out onto the ramp which was about to leave.

"Introducing! The Capital City Catgators! Looks like there is a substitution with the Earthbenders. Looks like Mika is going to try to Waterbend! What is the Sneaky Sister thinking!" We walked over to zone 1 and I stepped forward taking the earthbender's hand.

We started with a 2 point combo while Bolin was grappling with their waterbender. After a while, he was pushed back into zone 3 and tittering on the edge.

Mika barely did anything with the crowd knowing that she was trying to be a waterbender tonight when she was normally an earthbender.

The Earthbender sent two disks toward Bolin. I panicked and blew a gust of wind toward his blowing him back into zone 3.

I heard a whistle and immediately realized what I had just done. I looked to see Mako with his face in his hands.

"Hold the phone folks! I think that Firebender just Airbended!"

The ref comes down from his podium thing and brings us together.

"What is going on?"

"I'm half Avatar" I muttered trying to make it sound like a question.

"Half?" he raised an eyebrow. I nodded slowly "And who's the other half?" I pointed towards Mika. "That's why she's waterbending tonight"

He sighs before going up to the announcers box and telling him something.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. Looks the Notorious Sneaky Sisters pulled another trick on us! They are both half Avatar! They will be permitted to play as long as they solely bend Fire and Water" I smiled and hugged Mika before going back to our positions.

Two rounds later, It has come down to a tiebreaker. The red flipped the coin revealing a red side causing me to groan internally.

The firebender from their team stepped forward "We choose fire" I groaned and stepped forward just as the platform was rising.

I smirked at the man as the bell went off and he lunged forward. I ducked and sent a flume of flames towards him. He tried to duck but the fire singed his shoulder. He regained his balance and sent a stream of fire with his legs. I jumped over it and sent a flame at his stomach knocking him off the platform and applause to appear.

I sighed and stepped off the platform as the announcer was screaming that we had won. I was crushed in a hug by Mika and Bolin before walking over to the ramp and sitting down, riding it back to our locker area.

The ramp stopped but I didn't wanna get up so Bolin scooped me up in his arms and laid me down on the bench.

"You did great during that tiebreaker" Mako smiled as he lifts my sore legs and sits down. Mika took my gear off leaving me in my white tank top and shorts. She shoved the gear into my locker which had a small red flame on it.

"You ready to go back to the island?" Bolin smiled. I groaned and turned over. Mika had done the same only on the floor next to me. I felt myself being lifted into someone's arms. I cuddled myself into their warmth and fell asleep in their arms.
