Day 3- Bowling
Who: Giselle, Tyler, Jun, Katara and Christian
What: Bowling
When: Late Morning
Where: Bowling Alley
Rating: TBD
Status: Completed!

Giselle woke with the pleasant thoughts of Legolas in her head. Their impromptu duet the day before had stuck with her even into her dreams. She smiled dreamily as she sat up in bed and went to the balcony doors. She leaned against the side of the balcony and sang with all her heart. When she had finished her seranade of the entire resort, she resumed waking up.

She showered and dressed with the help of her animal friends and went to get some breakfast at the restaurant. When she returned from a satisfying meal of pancakes and fresh fruit, she saw an envelope taped to her door that she had neglected to notice before. She pulled it off and tore it open. Giselle loved getting messages, and she half hoped it was from Legolas.

But it was not to be. Instead it was instructions about a mandatory activity she was to participate in. She had never even heard of bowling. She frowned, but if she was going to be doing it with other people, she was going to have fun, regardless.

She spent the remainder of the morning, before she had to participate in the activity, redecorating her room. Instead of all pink, she concentrated on putting some silvery and purply threads in the comforter on her bed and in the wallpapered walls. She gave herself a grander vanity and a bigger wardrobe.

She was dressed in a flowing yellow dress when she left her room to go to her activity. Her hair was left down, tucked neatly behind her ears. She skipped as she moved down the hall of the main building toward the door leading to the bowling alley. She stepped in and found that she was the first one there.

She went to the desk and the golem there directed her to a lane after handing her some shoes and socks. She grimaced and held the shoes up in front of her face. "Has someone else worn these?" She whispered loudly to the golem. He nodded and she wrinkled her nose. "Do you have any no one else has worn?" He shook his head. She frowned and sighed, heading for the lane she had been directed to.

Sitting down, she pulled off her sandals and proceeded to put the shoes and socks on. She was horrified at having to wear something someone else had worn. Someone she didn't know, too! Sitting back to wait for the others to arrive, Giselle's attention was drawn to a television set high above her head. It had some dancing pins and bowling balls on it before it cleared and some instructions flowed across the screen.

She read them as quickly as she could, trying to understand what she was supposed to do. The video replayed itself when it finished, and Giselle looked down the lane to the pins standing in formation. She screwed up her mouth wondering just how she was supposed to knock all those huge pins down with just one little ball.

At Jun’s exuberant display of joy for Giselle, Katara jumped out of her seat to be ready to help if Giselle didn’t make such an easy fall after she finished soaring up into the air. It was proven unnecessary as Jun caught her with the same swift ease as he had thrown the woman. Giselle also seemed unperturbed, keeping an ever-present positive demeanor in light of a possible fear of falling to one’s death. She must really trust him… Katara thought.

As Katara listened to everyone talk about where they were from, she almost felt left out in that area. Everyone knew where everyone else was from- with the exception of the Andalasia Giselle was from- while she had never heard of those places, and no one else seemed to have heard of her home. She couldn’t allow it to bring her down, though. It only meant that she had as much to learn from them as they did from her, and Jun’s words proved it. She felt a small surge of joy mingling with pride at the thought that she may very well be the only Waterbender- or even the only Bender, period- in the Mirage. “I would love to learn all about your world, too, Jun. I’ve never heard of any of the places any of you are from! I bet they’re all fantastic.”

At Tyler’s dubious repetition of what Katara said she only smiled. “Yes. The Southern Water Tribe is one of the three Water Nation locations. It’s in the South Pole.”

Though she was delighted with everyone there and had no reason not to trust them a surge of relief went through her when Jun merely gave her a congratulatory pat on the shoulder. “Thanks, Jun.” It wasn’t that she was afraid of heights- after all she had gotten quite used to riding through the sky on Appa’s back over the years; she was simply anxious about not being caught and going splat onto the floor- or even going splat on the ceiling if she were thrown too high. Jun’s physical strength amazed her. She knew it would be in her best interest never to get on his bad side.

Katara cheered softly for Tyler as he took his turn. He took out all ten pins again, though in two tries this time. That was still fantastic, and better than any of the others so far. Then Jun was up and took his best try yet. “Great job, Jun! You’re doing really well!” Then Christian knocked down seven pins, and she clapped cheerily.

It made her happy to see how joyful everyone else was, even dispelling the majority of her own self-pity. Maybe the Planet knew what it was doing by forcing others to go through these mandatory events? After all, if they weren’t doing this they may very well be moping around their rooms the whole time. Or finding ways out of this place… The Waterbender thought sardonically.

Katara listened as each person divulged their jobs in their own worlds. “A writer, Christian? I bet you’re better than you think.” She had never known many writers. Giselle divulged that she was a cleaner and a singer- two seemingly unconnected jobs. “I’m a Waterbender and a healer. I also helped the Avatar protect people, and I helped those people recover their lives and villages after the war that happened in my world.”

The young woman grinned as the flame-haired woman took her turn, knocking over seven pins, and clapped merrily. Seven was less than before, but so what? They were all beginners with the exception of Tyler. Seven was still the majority of the pins. “Awesome, Giselle!”

Then Katara was up again. Everything was moving as such a swift pace. It was quite fun. Lifting her ball she lined it up with the pins and rolled it along the lane. To her complete shock- and utter delight- it smashed through the center pin and those behind it, sending many flying away from the ball to slam into other pins, leaving one standing tall on the right. It could most likely be attributed to her improved mood. When the ball returned to her, she happily aimed the weighted sphere at the remaining pin and threw it. She realized her aim had been true, and she jumped up and down gleefully as she knocked the pin over.

“Did you guys see that!” She exclaimed with shocked joy. She had definitely improved her mood with that. Her pride seemed to be bursting.
