AN: Done for Chongthenomad from tumblr. I don't own anything.
"I can't believe it! You would think a party would be more fun, but noooooo…" Korra exclaimed as she marched away from the dining hall, Bolin and Mako trailing after her.
"Well, the party was arranged by Chief Bei Fong. What do you expect? I'm surprised she didn't try to arrest anyone." Bolin replied, trying to placate her.
"Still! My first party in the city and it's a total bust!" As the Avatar continued to mutter to herself, Bolin turned to his brother.
"Do something! Go take her dancing or to a bar or something! Go have fun!" Mako shot a panic looked at the earth-bender.
"Me? Why me?"
"Because she likes you!" Bolin replied, before giving an over-exaggerated yawn, "Well, I'm beat, bye you guys!"
Korra stared after him, puzzled as he ran home, "….that was weird"
"Well, that's Bolin for you." Mako said, although inside he was panicking knowing his brother was right. He had to do something to cheer Korra up.
It was then that he heard the music. They were walking past a phonograph shop that was playing some sort of up-beat jazz. When the owner noticed the two walking he called out to them, "Avatar Korra! I never got the chance to thank you for saving my shop! Here, how about something a little slower for you and your date?" He said with a wink before changing the music accordingly.
"He's not my-" Korra started to protest, but Mako grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him.
"Just go with it. Relax. Isn't that what you're always telling me?" He said, trying to keep his voice indifferent, "Besides, maybe this will make up for the suckish party."
When the shopkeeper came back later, he saw the two still dancing although the music had long since stopped.
