"Hmm, Amarie, would you like to know Nashita more? Nashita, would you like to know Amarie more?" Kat asked desperate for some communication. Amarie seemed intruiged by the idea.
"Sure, so what, we ask questions?"
"Yup!" Kat said, heppy to get some talking, "But take turns!"

Nashita looked akwardly at Amerie. She wasn't sure what to ask. "You go first." She said finally.

Maiku woke up, on a little boat on the way to the Northern Water Tribe. He had just been recruited by the Fire Nation as a spy for the army about a week ago. Master Po recommended him as one of the best in the class, and also, he had the skin tone of a watertribesman.
"Why do I get stuck doing this petty work. Why must I live among the children of lesser men." Maiku said bitterly. "I'd rather be part of the land force and be able to eliminate their pathetic race off the planet." After his conversation with himself, he approached the main gate. He introduced himself as a fisherman, showing his catch, 20 lbs of raw fish. The gates opened before him and he entered the city, staring at awe of the amazing structures, but in an effort to keep his anger going he muttered, This is nothing compared to the beauty of my beloved nation. He turned his head, and saw three girls sitting together. He thought they'd be a good start for him to get his bearings in this strange new place, but first he had to sell his fish.

Before Amerie could ask her a question, Nashita looked over and saw a new stranger. He was sitting across the park from her and her companions. She smirked at them, then got up. She walked over to the young man. "Hi, I'm Nashita. I don't think I've ever seen you around before. You new?" She asked politely as she held out her hand to shake his.

Amarie looked at him and within two seeconds she knew who he was. Another Spy Amarie thought.
"Hello, stranger!" Kat said enthusiatically. "And who might you be? My name is Kat!"

The smooth, cool bones of her comb roughly ripped through Neha's hair, causing some hair to be, of course, violently ripped off in the process.
"OWWW MOM STOP!!!" Neha exclaimed, gripping onto her head as her mother attempted to keep her daughter's hair tidy.
"Neha, stop moving, I swear your hair is that of a bloodbender..." her mother said with a stern tone. She leaned her head towards Neha's hair, sniffed it and said with disgust, "You smell like fish. Did you take a bath this morning?"
All Neha did was turn around, her bright blue eyes sparkling, and gave her mother a childish grin.
"Why do I even bother Neha, how are you ever going to be a moon priestess at this rate? And have you practiced your healing lately and blah blah blah blah blah.."
The sixteen year old giggled to herself, playing a funny scene from the Earth Kingdom musical, The Earth King of Ba Sing Se "hehehe...oh Bosco.." As she did, her mother scolded her severely for never paying attention, and quickly finished up a perfected braid.
"Now go to your Lunar Lesson before you're late!" Neha sprung up from the stool, her braid swishing, and said excitedly in one breath, "okthanksbyemom!"
Neha ran outside, and was greeted by the shining sun. Grinning, she pulled the ribbon out of her hair and unleashed a huge mass of auburn hair that flowed to her waist. She sang a little tune of the musical to herself as she walked to the Moon Temple, At the court of bears, at the court of bears... Her eyes then widened. Neha smelled the alluring scent of her favorite: fresh fish. Her bright eyes searched desperately for the source, and saw a new little fish stand. No Neha, go to your Lunar Lesson, mother would be disappointed again if you don't. BUT IT'S FISH! I know, I know, it's delicious, but you have to go. Ignoring her conscience, Neha skipped over to the stand, and said "oh how delicious! How much?" She then noticed two other young women were talking to the vendor first, so she made a little oops to herself and sang another song, bouncing a little, as she waited for the tasty fish.

Amarie walked hesatantly up to the new spy. "Hello, my name is Amarie." As if you don't already know. She thought. "You havn't told us your name." Amarie sneered.
"Calm down, Amarie, he can tel us when he pleases." Kat said reassuringly.

Maiku saw one girl get up and begin to walk towards him, inside his stomach turned. He wasn't ready to hold up a conversation with them, he wasn't much of a social butterfly, and to make matters worse he had a problem talking with females. "What am I going to do?" He thought to himself soon after being greeted by a beautiful girl named Nashita. Soon after, the two other girls introduced themselves as Kate and Amarie. They were all getting very hyped, and excited and it was making him dizzy and extremely nervous. Amarie seemed to have an attitutude. Then he realized that her skin tone wasn't of the water tribe, and "thought she must be in on this too, why didn't they tell me about her? Then another girl with extremely long hair and also very beautiful, came up to buy his fish.
Maiku caught himself shaking, and beginning to sweat. Through all that he swallowed, and with a faint smile said, "... Hi Nashita, uhhh no you've never seen me around before, but I've lived here on and off." He saw her hand out, but he held his to his body, too scared to offer any touch. Turning to Kat he said, "Hello Kat, my name is... Maiku," Then turning to Amarie, "And I, I think that answers your question Amarie," he said, his voice trying to show sarcasm, but instead he heard it beginning to falter, his body still shaking.
"It's alright Kat no worries." Then finally turning to the other girl he responded, "Yes freshly caught early this morning, a silver piece for two pounds." He then thought to himself, "You're doing alright Maiku, stay calm and everything will be ok.

Teehee...aww poor guy he seems flabbergasted now... Neha observed as the other girls asked him questions. She giggled and gave Maiku a reassuring smile. As soon as she heard him say the price, she exclaimed "Score!!! Oks, here we go..." Shuffling in her pocket, Neha grinned and pulled out a sliver piece. It's supposed to be for my Lunar Lesson today...but this fish looks so good..and mom would like some fresh fish for dinner...
It was then that Neha slammed the piece of silver into the counter of the stand, grabbed her two pounds worth of fish, and said in one breath "thank you for the fish it was nice meeting all of you bye!!!" Skipping off, with her hair bouncing in every step, Neha hummed another tune, and went over to the Moon Temple.

Nashita's friendly expression suddenly dropped a little. Her eyes narrowed as she looked at Maiku, something didn't seem quite right. He was a little too nervous. She looked quickly at Amerie and noticed that she was acting quite different as well. Something's up...she thought to herself.
Suddenly, she felt the presence of another person behind her. Nashita turned around, shocked to discover that it was Keeni. "Hey!" He said cheerfully, looking at his fellow Fire Nation spy, Amerie. "Buying some fish?" Nashita's glare turned cold. "No. We were saying hello to Maiku." She answered. Keeni grinned. He loved to make Nashita mad. He turned his attention to the other young man in front of him. "Hey, newcomer huh? I'm Keeni." He greeted cheerfully.
Nashita watched the other girl skip off. She noticed that she hadn't seen this girl around before either. She was disappointed that she hadn't gotten to talk to her, but she figured she'd see the girl around some other time.

Seeing the smile on the face of that girl who was purchasing the fish made Maiku feel slightly better, but he still would rather them all just go and leave him be. Once the girl put her money on the table, Maiku quickly scooped it up and into his pocket it went, also handing her the 2 pounds of fish, just as she finished asking, saying to her, "Thank you, have a nice day." That's one girl down, three to go
Just as he finished his thought, he noticed a little bit of a change in Nashita's facial expression, but he paid it no attention, he was still a little too uncomfortable for it to matter to him. Then another person began to walk up behind her, this one a man. He saw them speak for a bit, then the man introduced himself as Keeni.
Maiku said to him, "I'm not really a newcomer, I've been living here on and off all my life, now I've decided to make this my permanent home. I'm Maiku by the way." The presence of another man helped calm Maiku a little bit. It was always easier for him to talk to them than to girls, but what he still prefered the most, was being secluded from other people.
"Are you guys here to buy fish or just introduce yourself? This is the best you can find in all the North." He asked trying to bring this little gathering to an end.

Nashita finished glaring at Keeni and returned her gaze back to Maiku. "I don't have any money right now...so no, I'm not buying fish. Just saying hello. But maybe some other time...." Keeni suddenly interupted "I'll take some fish. They do look good. How much did you say it was again?" "You know...you should hang out with us sometime." Nashita interupted in return.

"Well, I wasn't planning to but," Kat siad as she put down a silver piece on the counter. "I'll get some, mother would be pleased. I guess we're having fish tonight Nashita. Amarie, you're welcome to come too."
"I'll come, as long as it's not as boring as it is right now." Amarie said, her voice was sour. The other spies being around her put her mood in a horrible fog. "Come on, let go to your place so you can drop that fish off." Amarie suggested hoping to get away from everyone, and hopefully be able to calm down Maiku.

"Ok, no fishes then. Thank you for the gesture, that means a lot to me. Maybe, just remember, The best fish in the North is right here." Maiku said to Nashita.
"Very good then, its one silver piece for 2 pounds." Maiku said, feeling a little proud, he had just about made his third silver piece. "I guess that'd be nice, I'm usually very busy though, I'll see how business turns out first, thank you so much for the offer." He said, giving a tiny smile.
"Hey, say hi to a new face, and go home with some fish, its a good day for both of us." He said to Kat, his voice becoming more comfortable, and confident now as he made his fourth silver piece.
"Ouch, that hurt." Maiku said biting is lip so not to get angry. "That'd be best, you don't want that fish to spoil. Thank you guys for the introduction, hopefully I'll see you around, I tend to be all over the city, need to share the glories of my catch." He said his voice trailing off.

As soon as Neha walked into the Moon Temple, the mood of the air immediately changed, as well as hers. The inside was a deep blue, and the temple was one gigantic room with white fire torches on the walls. There were a few ice paintings of Yue, the moon, and of Tui circling around La on the walls as well. In the temple there wasn't a ceiling, however the top of the building kissed the very skies the dwellers worshiped. Even in daylight, their beloved moon could be seen, it was nearly full. On the night of a full moon, the moon priestesses (as well as the ones in training), come back when the moon is at its zenith, and do a healing/dancing ceremony.
Neha awkwardly put her fish down in a little part of the temple as soon as she entered. She would come back for them later. An elderly woman approached her as Neha walked farther inside, making her footsteps quiet on the thick ice beneath her.
"Sifu Noa..." Neha said with a smile, and bowed before the woman before her.
"You are late Neha," Noa replied bitterly. Her face was saggy and wrinkled, worn from a lifetime of unpleasantness of war and strictness by running the Lunar Lessons. Her blue eyes still sparkled though, making her look young again. Noa wore her hair into a tight bun, and wore no adornments like the younger girls in the hall.
"It would seem so..." the young woman replied, smiling and taking the situation lightly. She looked around and saw all of the priestesses in training kneeling side by side in a long row. They all were young girls of Neha's age. Before them was a monumental ice statue at the end of the hall of the temple. It was the shape of a crescent moon with the moon spirit, now Yue, sitting on the crescent, looking as ethereal as ever.
"Neha, I, your mother, and certainly the almighty Moon Spirit will not tolerate this behavior from you. Slip up one more time and it's the wooden paddle for you. Understand?" Neha took in a deep breath, and bowed again, saying "My apologies, it won't happen again Sifu Noa."
All Noa did was make a little mutter about her hair, and sent Neha off. Neha kneeled by one of the other priestesses in training, brought up her hands together, and closed her eyes, finding her center with Yue.
