Golden-brown eyes stared up at the large circus tent before them as Malu stepped up in front of the area the circus with being held. Letting out a light sigh, she shook her head lightly. The fire bender had heard about the circus from a few earthbenders she had passed on her journey, so she decided to take a break from running around the world. But the circus wasn't the best place to decide to rest, and she was slowly regretting making the choice, though she was going to ignore that and try to have fun. Hopefully, no one would reconize her and try to attack her. She didn't need to fight at the moment, not today at least.

The Ringleader, a firebender dressed in red robes, stepped into the center ring. Some how he started shouting above the crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen.......I would like to direct your attention to the center ring......Now I have the distinct pleasure of introducing you to that amazing acrobat, that daring devil of stunts, the man who can not be hurt, the one... the only... Rasir!" a tall wiry boy of about sixteen suddenly appeared, high above the ringleader. He was wearing light red and grey colored clothing. "Now....." the announcer continued, "Rasir will perform, for your veiwing pleasure.... his death defying SWORDS DANCE!!"
After he said Rasir jumped down at least twenty-five feet to the ground. Four other performers ran out and stood near him, each holding two broadswords. The with out warning, Two of them started to attack him, swinging their swords, each slice coming closer and closer to Rasir's unprotected body. The crowd ooooooohed and ahhed as he nimbly dodged each strike. More of the other performers started to attack him and they couldn't hit him either. Rasir was a red blur of flips, somursaults, cartwheels and other amazing acrobatics. He grabbed one of them around the middle with his legs and threw him to the ground, simultaneously plucking his broadsowrds out of the air. Now he was swinging as well, blocking deflecting and absorbing all of their hits. When at long last he seemed cornered by all four of them, he disappeared, only to reappear, with the raging applause of the crowd, high above them.
The ringleader was back, "The Amazing Rasir, ladies and gentlemen....." and he lead them into another act.....

The loud applause of the crowd reached her ears making her whince slightly. Cursing under her breath, Malu quickly bolted forward toward the largest tent where she knew the performences were going to be shown. But she stopped when she saw the two guards drapped in fire nation armor with helmet covering their faces standing at the doorway. Malu stomped her foot in anger as she growled slightly.
She knew if she went inside the tent as she was, everyone would take her as an airbender based on her clothes. Looking around her, she spotted a small tent with clothes piled up in it. A smirk came over her face and she quickly ran over to the tent, slipping inside it. Minutes later, she came out fully dressed in clothes a performer would wear in the circus. With a quick glance around, Malu ran off to the tent, hoping to slip past the guards and get into the tent to aleast get to watch the next performance.

Rasir was going to take a small break. He had to wait for the fire jugglers to get done so he could do his next performance. He started to walk towards the exit of the tent when a performer slipped inside. He didn't recognize her.
"hey, are you new or something?" he asked her.

After getting inside the tent, a smile came over her face as she watched the performances of the fire jugglers. As the other people in the crowd clapped, so did she. Suddenly, she heard someone speaking to her, making her turn toward the direction the voice came from. Blinking, she stared at him blankly for a few seconds. Confusion quickly came across her face and she laughed slightly at herself.
Shaking her head lightly, Malu asked the person she thought was one of the performers, "I'm sorry. What was that? I didn't quite hear you."

Rasir, inwardly laughed. "Are you new? I don't recognize you." he looked over her shoulder when he heard the ringleader start to talk again. "never mind, I have to go. If you think you can hit me, volunteer for this next performance, ok?" he said to her as he walked over to the ringleader.
"And Now, We are going to ask for some audience participation. We will give this large sack of gold to anyone who can land a solid blow on Rasir." he let the crowd raor for a few moments then said, holding the bag high. "I believe it 200 peices....".

"Are you new? I don't recognize you."
Malu laughed slightly and gave a small nod. "Guess you could say that," she said quietly, a small grin on her face. She looked over her shoulder at the ringleader as he started speaking then quickly looked back at the guy.
"never mind, I have to go. If you think you can hit me, volunteer for this next performance, ok?"
Nodding slightly, she watched as he walked away. I wonder what he meant...? she thought, though her thoughts were quickly answered by the ringleader.
"And Now, We are going to ask for some audience participation. We will give this large sack of gold to anyone who can land a solid blow on Rasir. I believe it 200 peices...."
A smirk came over her face as she heard the number. 200? I'm in! She took a few steps closer toward the ring and raised her hand in the air, a wide grin spread over her face.

Sa Ra sat quietly in the crowd. It had been a while. Sa Ra's hair was wrapped up, and put under a big hat. It was the only way for her not to be recognized. She had put her past, everything about it, behind her. She watched in amazement as the fire benders did their tricks. When the young girl volunteered, she leaned slightly forward. The girl looked familiar, but that was impossible. Sa Ra had seen the show earlier, and thought there was no possible way for the girl to get that much money. She knew the color of her hair under the hat was probably a yellow-orange color, for doubt. Sa Ra had learned a while ago though that now always things went as planned.

Rasir tapped the ringleaders shoulder and pointed towards Malu. He called her foward. "Young lady, I will give you this large bag of gold if you can hit Rasir. Land a solid blow and knock him down and its yours.Understand?" he asked.
Rasir gave a big smile. Then suddenly he jumped high into somersaulting over her. "i am the Human sandman, No one can hit me!"

Malu nodded with a small smirk and turned her gaze over to Rasir. She watched as he flipped over her but she did not turn around and stayed in the same spot, her back facing him.
"i am the Human sandman, No one can hit me!"
His words caused her to snort slightly and she turned around to face him, her hands placed on her hips as she raised an eyebrow slightly. "Oh really? Well then, Mr. Sandman, let me be the first to make that statement untrue!"

"I'm waiting!"
Malu's smirk grew slightly wider as she cracked her knuckles. "Alright then..." She suddenly bolted forward toward him while yelling out, "Let's get this show on the road!!" Her hand clenched into a fist at her side and she quickly jabbed it at him to punch him. But her plan was not to actually hit him with her first punch, but she needed a slight distraction for the moment....

Rasir rolled to the ground with her opening punch, spinning in place to hit her ankels with his legs. Then he sprang up,somursaulting into the air.

Jumping up over his legs, she jumped up at him as he sumersaulted through the air and quickly through a kick at him, though she was far from him. From the bottom of her foot shot out a large fireball at Rasir. Landing gracefully on her feet, she quickly kicked off the ground at him and used the fire as a cover, sending another punch at him from behind the fire.

'A firebender!?!?!' he thought to himself. he spun out of the way of one of her fire blasts and dispersed another with a gust of wind. The flames were getting uncomfortably close to his long braid of hair. Suddenly he dove at her legs, slid between them and placed his hand on her back, walking in circles with her as she tried to face him. "You were getting close there for a second," he sneered.
