Alright so this is the first part of the continuation of "The Games," you don't really have to read the prior ones but it would probably help. Hope you enjoy 😊


"What's this holiday called again?"

"It's not a holiday," Lin clarified as they stood at the door of her sisters house.

"Okay, what is this not-a-holiday called again?"

"Beifong's Tradition." Kya cringed at the word, and Lin couldn't blame her.

"So is this like a monthly thing or-"

"No. Absolutely not. Once a year, that is the most Suyin gets."

"I am inclined to agree... for once," Kya added. Usually she was down for any excuse to party, but she had learned that the Beifong's definition of a party did not match hers. Lin knocked on the door and it didn't take long for Huan to open it, sighing as he saw them standing there.

"Hey Aunty. And... waterbending miss." Kya scrunched her nose at the introduction. Surely she deserved more than 'waterbending miss'.

"Hello Huan," Lin asnwered. "Are you going to let us in or?" Huan stepped aside, allowing the door to open fully and Kya took in the view of Suyin's home. If you could call it a home it was practically the size of Lin's entire apartment building. It didn't take long for Suyin to find them, greeting them with her contagious smile that made Kya jealous.

"Lin! Kya," she said with a dip of her head to either of them.

"Your home is beautiful Suyin, I am floored."

"Thank you," Suyin replied with a blush. Lin grunted and made her way to her sister, who forced her into a hug. Kya couldn't help but grin at the sight of Lin being held hostage by her sister's embrace. "Guess what," Su whispered into Lin's ear, and Kya found herself leaning closer to hear what it was.

"Don't tell me..."

"Yep, she came." As if summoned by the likes of Suyin herself Toph Beifong came from a corridor, standing with her arms behind her back facing her daughters.

"Lin," she croaked, "I'm so glad you decided to get off that high ostrich horse of yours and come."

"It's nice to see you too, mom," Lin replied with a sigh. Despite the confusing exchange the two of them hugged and Kya was swinging back and forth on her feet. Lin had never hugged so many people in this amount of time, and so far that was only two people.

"Who's over there?" Toph asked, pointing in Kya's direction.

"It's me, Toph, Kya."

"Kya? What are you doing here?" Kya glared at Lin who's face turned a deep red. Su elbowed her sister, mouthing out the words you didn't tell her?

"I um... I'm her to help Kuvira move." Kya responded, causing Lin to face palm.

"You're not totally lying." Toph said, "but you ain't telling the truth."

"Mom-" Suyin started.

"I got this. Mom, Kya is my partner." Lin said, adding emphasis on the word partner.

"What are you talkimg about? Enough with the riddles, I'm to old for this!" Lin sighed and placed a hand on Toph's shoulder.

"Okay, mom, Kya is my... girlfriend." Kya ignored the hesitation, because the confidence in Lin after she said the words made up for the lack there of in saying them.

"Oh." Toph said, her words revealing no expression. "I have to admit I didn't see that coming, mind you I can't see so that's probably why." Kya laughed as Lin face palmed.  "Good for you guys." Toph finished with a smile and Kya couldn't help but blush.
