"Katara! Katara!" Korra calls. She bumps into a young member and asked "Where's Katara?" "She had left for the Fire Nation about an hour ago. Need anything?" He asked. "Uhm- No it's ok.." Korra ran back to her tent. 'It's okay... All I have to do is wait to weeks for the next parts of the story..'  Korra told herself.

"Iroh!" Korra ran to the old man hugging him tightly. "He chuckled returning the embrace and said "I see you have been learning the organs of my young neice Sage." He said raising an eyebrow, probably already knowing what she wants to talk about. "Yeah, she's not so young anymore." Korra smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of her neck. Iroh shook his head and walked her to a small table where a pot and tea cups were placed under a sakura tree. "I think you already know what I want to hear." Korra said. Iroh sat down on a stool and poured the tea "I do young Avatar." He said sipping his cup slowly. "Do you use the word young before anyone you mention?" Korra asked, plopping down in her own log stump as she adjusted her self. "Oh my Korra, I am young Iroh. I would never do such a thing." He teased. Korra laughed at him as the old man soon joined.

Sage hated birthdays. People's birthdays, animal's birthdays, and a kid's dolls birthday. She hated birthdays.

Having to celebrate one less year of your life taken away was bad enough, she didn't need a whole quinces. Her parents hadn't even let her do anything, Azula was the one to pick her dress! This got the young princess in a mood the whole week. 

"Ow!" Sage whined as a pin poked her back. "Sorry princess, but you are just swimming in this dress!" The old designer apologized. Azula squealed from behind her "You are going to look amazing!" She danced around clapping her hands. Ursa walked in and teased Sage's little pout "Aww. Little Sage is mad." June taunted. The young girl's glare hardened. "Lu Ten has the worst taste in white chocolate." Sage sassed, racism danced around her sentence. "Sage!" Ursa scolded. "What! You know it's true!" She smirked. June rolled her eyes as she sat down next to Azula. "So what's up with Zuko and his girlfriend." June asked. "She's not his girlfriend. Or atleast that's what ZuZu says." Azula mocked. The other two girls laughed until the lady tied the corset too tight and Sage gasped.

Ursa covered her mouth with her and as tears prickled at the edges of her eyes, Ozai came behind her an rubbed her shoulders gently. Sage and Sokka walked through a hall and into the showing room. Lu Ten whistled as Zuko smiled sweetly. "I know, I know. I'm amazing..." Azula took in with pride. 

Sokka held up some of her dress and she stepped up. The freckled princess turned to take a view of herself and took a sharp intake of breath. She might've only seen birthday's in a negative way, but this dress has proved her wrong. "I-I feel like a princess!" She whispered. "That's because you are a princess." Zuko said laughing. 

Sokka was quiet but thoughts had ran through his head 'Woah. She's stunning. No- no. You like Yue, remember? But she's engaged.'  "Hey. You good?" Lu Ten asked him. "Huh. What?" Sokka came back into reality. "You kind of dozed off there. Are you ok?" Lu Ten explained, repeating his question. "Hmm? Oh yeah! I'm great." Sokka brushed off. Lu Ten rose an eyebrow at him suspiciously but ignored it.

"So are we a keeper?" June asked. Sage nodded, well bobbed her head actually jumping up and down. Ozai hugged his wife and daughter as the rest cheered happily.

"Sir. It's seems we have a problem." Said a guard. A man sitting on a black chair looked at the man in his early 40's from the corner of his eye, barely even moving a muscle. 

"There is more protection than I thought. We might have to think through our plans once more." The guard explained. "Nonsense. I will need a strong elite team to help me along the way, and I know just who to find..." The man spited. 

The guard seemed to understand what he was talking about. Smirking he asked "Should we set a course to the Northern Water Tribe?" 

"Yes you shall." The mystery man agreed and laughed as he has gone crazy and disappeared without a trace.

Sage needed a break. As she couldn't sneak out in day light, she had left to her mother's garden with a loaf of bread. The apple tree moved with the breeze as it was mid February. Sage parted the bread into smaller pieces and threw them in the pond, humming gently as birds chirped around her. 

'When the rain drops down'

'Down from the sky'

'The day you walked to me'

'An angel cried'

'Ooh'

'She cried'

'An angel cried'

'She cried'

Sage sang as a butterfly has landed on her nose. Behind her she heard faint clapping. Someone had been watching her. She turned her head around a little too harshly and found Sokka there. "Beautiful princess,  Beautiful!" He teased. Sage scoffed and turned away crossing her arms. 

Sokka started to feel a bit guilty as he added "Hey. But really I enjoyed it..." Sokka smiled. A blush painted itself on Sage's cheeks, hand raising to cover her face as she groaned quietly. "What do you want." The soulbender snapped. "I just wanted to watch, Jeez." He replied nonchalantly. The blue-eyed warrior came to sit just right next to the princess shoulders. brushing against eachother. "Bread?" Sage asked handing him a half. "Yes please." He took it. As Sage tossed a piece into the lake, Sokka munched his very loudly, catching Sage's attention. 

"That bread wasn't for you! It was for the ducks!" She scolded. Sokka stopped bitting through his sandwich mid-way and stared at furious multi-colored eyes. "Oops."  Sokka apologized giving her a sheepish smile. Sage rolled her eyes and threw herself backwards onto the ground when her loaf ran out. "So. What were you doing out after your bedtime?" Sokka asked smugly. "What! How'd you find out?!" Sage shot up from the dirt, wet grass itching her back. "My window shows me the villager's homes. I've seen things i don't think I should." He explained, grimacing at the last part. "Oh agni, Sokka! Agni!" She cussed herself. "What if dad saw me too? What if Azula saw me?!" She panicked. "Calm down. Everyone else was asleep." He laid back, mimicing Sage's past position. "Oh thank the spirits!" Sage sat down in relief. 

Sokka suddenly laughed causing Sage to turn and glare at him. "What's so funny?!" She asked. "You're a hypocrite." He said laughing some more. She rolled her eyes, waterbending a stream of the pond water and poking it at his face.
