Dati by Sam Conception and Tippy Dos

I'm finally back home. It has been ten years since I've been here, I wonder if she's still here. Asami thought. Asami left Republic City to go to Ba sing Se and study engineering in the most prestigious school. Although it's a great opportunity Asami didn't want to go because she'd be leaving her best friend, Korra, behind. But she had no choice so she left.

Flashback

"Hey!" Korra said with a smile until she saw Asami crying. That smile suddenly turned to anger. "Who did this to you? Ima beat them up." Korra looked around and saw Tahno laughing with his friends. She quickly marched up to them.

Asami saw that look in Korra's eyes which means she's about to destroy some somebody. "Korra wait!"

"No! Nobody makes my best friend cry and not get a pounding" Korra took Tahno by the collar of his shirt and lifted him of the ground.

Tahno quickly started screaming for help while his friends ran away.

"Korra no. Put him down"

"But he made you cry"

"No he didn't"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. Now put him down"

"Fine."

Tahno ran away while screaming "You're a crazy!"

Korra turned to look at her friend and wiped the remaining tears off her cheek and gave her the goofiest grin ever which made Asami laugh. "So why were you crying anyway?"

Asami looked at the ground and new tears began to form in her eyes. Korra saw this and quickly pulled Asami into a hug. "Hey whatever it is you can tell me. We'll work it out like we usually do."

Asami began tore away from the hug and said "That's the thing we can't. I'm moving away to Ba Sing Se"

Korra looked at her confused. "Oh! Like a vacation right?" Korra knew what Asami meant but she's hoping that maybe she was wrong.

"No I'm going to live in Ba sing se" Korra gave Asami a smile and hugged her.

"Well that's ok. Just think about it like this even though we won't see each other anymore we can still be best friend and when you come back you can tell me all about your adventure. We can always write to each other."

"Yeah your right. You promise that you'll be here waiting for me?"

"I promise. Ill wait right here. Well I have to go home sometime so I guess ill wait for you at my home too!"

Asami smiled at Korra and said "Thank you I Promise i'll come back too."

Even though Korra was smiling on the outside in the inside her heart was breaking in a way she couldn't understand. No more spending time with Asami at her house after school or at her place, no more watching their favorite cartoons together. Her best friend, her Asami was leaving for who knows how long. But Asami made a promise to come back which gave her heart a little hope.

Present

Asami walked straight to Korra's house hoping that she'll be there wearing that cute stupid grin of hers. Asami knocked on the door, she heard footsteps inside and suddenly her heart was beating fast. She doesn't know if its excitement or nervousness. The door opens and her heart sinks. It was an old lady that Asami did not recognize. "Hi ma'am."

"Who are you?"

"Sorry I was looking for an old friend who used to live here. By any chance do you know where she is?"

"Oh that annoying watertribe girl and her big white dog."

"Yeah! That's the one!" Asami was bouncing off her feet.

"Yeah she moved back with her parents." Asami stopped bouncing.

"Oh. Thank you anyways ma'am. Have nice day." The old lady closes the door. Asami was left on the porch standing there with saddest expression on her face. Of course Korra would be gone she couldn't wait for me forever. I'm so stupid for even thinking she'll be here. She stopped writing to me after the 6th year. Asami was walking back home when she noticed the path to her and Korra's favorite place.

Flashback

"Hey where do you think this leads to?" Korra asked.

"I don't know but some kids said that if you follow that path you'll get lost and monsters would eat you." Asami used her scary voice but Korra seemed unfazed by it.

"Ok. So let's go then!"

"What?"

"As long as we have each other we'll beat every monster we come across. Plus with your karate skills and my guns." Korra flexed her muscles and Asami laughed. "Nothing can touch us." Korra grabbed Asami's hand and led them through the path.

It led them to a clear area that was hidden from everything else. It was perfect the trees provided shade, the land was big enough to play in and there was a beautiful stream right next to it. Asami was in awe she never saw a place so beautiful and peaceful. Until Korra started running around and screaming.

"Woohoo! See no monsters. But now we got our own place." Korra stood on top of the rock and said " I hereby declare this place the … a …" Korra paused and thought for a moment and finally said "the Korrasami oasis!"

"Why Korrasami?"

"Because Korra" Korra pointed to herself "and Asami" pointing at Asami "combine them together" Korra jumped off the rock and pulled Asami into a hug so their shoulder to shoulder. "And you get Korrasami"

"Why is your name first why can't it be Asamikorra?" Asami raised her eyebrow at Korra.

"Because Korrasami has a better ring to it. Now come on let's play."

Since then Korra and Asami would go to this place to play until the sun went down which means they had to go back to their homes.

Present

Asami reached the Korrasami oasis and saw that it's still the same. Except for the wooden sticks that she build so they can make a fort to play with. Asami walked to the tree where they carved their initials. It said AS + KA BFF. Asami took a piece of rock and drew a heart around it.

Through their separation Asami began to realize that she harbored feelings toward her best friend. Feelings that soon turned out to be love. "I'm sorry Korra I should have returned to you sooner." Tears rolled down Asami's cheeks. Asami looked down and remembered that they had buried their favorite toys under the tree. Promising to play with them when Asami came back.

Asami dug out the plastic bag that contained the Nintendo Pokémon puzzle league and super Mario 64. She remembered how they would play for hours just the two them. She place them on the ground and continued to look through the contents of the bag. A couple of GI Joe toys, slinky, an apron. Asami looked at the apron and remember how they would play house together. Asami was always the wife while Korra was the husband.

But there was one time were Asami was the husband and Korra was the wife. Korra hated it because she had to wear a dress. But Asami had to admit Korra looks good in a dress. Since they were playing house they gave each other kisses on the cheek, not on the lips though because that's gross they thought back then. Now Asami knew why she liked kissing Korra on the cheek because she's in love with her. Her only regret was not kissing Korra on the lips. Asami sigh and kept going through the bag. She froze once she saw the sword and the tiara.

Flashback

"I want to be princess one day." Asami said.

Korra started laughing while Asami stared daggers at Korra. "Sorry. I just can't imagine you being a princess."

"Why not?" Asami looked hurt.

Korra began to regret laughing. "It's not that because you're not pretty. I mean look at you. You're gorgeous with your always perfect hair, perfect skin, and your amazing green eyes." Asami's cheeks began to turn red. "It's just you're into things that princess don't do. Like fixing cars, racing, blowing stuff up and beating people up"

"I don't beat people up" Asami said punching Korra on the arm.

"Okay okay fine sorry. That really hurts."

"Well good. What makes you think a princess can't like engineering"

"Did you see Snowhite or Cinderella? They're both weak, they always need someone to help them. Snowhite needed help from the seven little dwarfs and Cinderella needed help from her fairy god mother. If you were in their shoes you'll probably use your karate skills to beat the queen or build your own damn carriage and beat up your step sisters. Your strong Asami, you're a fighter, you're smart and you're nothing like them." Korra gave Asami a smile.

"Thank You Korra" Asami cheeks were probably as red as a tomato by now. "Hey! I don't beat people up!"

"You're more like a warrior, like Mulan! But if you really want to be a princess I'll make your wish come true" Korra poked Asami's nose. Korra grabbed a couple of twigs and flowers and made a tiara. Korra placed it on Asami's head and grabbed her toy sword and started swinging it.

"What are you doing?" Asami said while laughing.

"Well a princess needs a knight and shining armor to protect them but I'm pretty sure you can protect yourself just fine." Korra continued swinging her sword until she bent down in front of Asami. "Well hop on Princess and let me take you to your castle." Asami giggled and got on Korra's back.

Present

"I don't need a knight and shining armor I need my Korra " Asami whispered as tears kept pouring down her eyes. She held the tiara tighter.

"Asami?"

No it can't be that voice.

Asami turned around and saw those blue eyes staring at her. Asami quickly got up and pulled Korra into a hug. But Korra pulled away.

"What are you doing here?" Korra asked.

"I came back to you just like I promised." Asami said giving Korra another hug but once again Korra pulled away.

Korra looked at Asami and saw that her eyes were puffy. Korra took a deep breath. "Who am I going to beat up this time." Korra said while wiping away the tears with her hand. Asami leaned into the touch. Asami gave Korra another hug this time Korra didn't pull away. They stood there holding each other for a while. When Asami spoke up.

"Hey you wanna play with me?" Korra looked at Asami confused.

"Don't you think were a little too old to be playing kiddie games."

"Hey I thought I was the princess, so you have to do whatever I say."

Korra turned around and got down on her knees. "Well hop on princess" Asami had the biggest smile on her face as she wrapped her arms around Korra's neck and her legs around Korra's waist. Asami enjoyed the feeling of Korra's back and the warmth that radiated from her body. Remembering it just like old times. Except Korra was full of muscles which Asami loves. Asami wanted to kiss the back of Korra's neck but remembered that they were just friends.

Korra soon got tired and put Asami back down. They laid on the ground looking up at the sky. Asami grabbed Korra's hand and intertwined their fingers. Asami turned her head to look at Korra. Korra noticed Asami staring and stared back at her. She still has that cute stupid little grin of hers Asami thought.

"Can the princess get her kiss now?" Asami asked.

Korra's eyes widen and Asami thought that she has crossed line. But then Korra gave her a smile.

"Of course princess." Korra leaned in to peck Asami's cheeks but Asami moved her head and instead Korra kissed Asami on the lips. Korra quickly pulled back. "Oh crap! I'm so sorry Asami I didn't mean to." Korra started to panic. Asami remained still with her eyes close remembering Korra's soft lips on hers and how she wanted to kiss Korra again. Longer this time with more passion and maybe with tongue if Korra doesn't mind. Asami's thoughts were interrupted when Korra said.

"Please don't call me a freak."

Asami opened her eyes and stared at Korra with a confused look on her face "why would I call you a freak? Were best friends."

Korra relaxed a bit. Maybe she doesn't remember Korra thought. Korra took a deep breath and started to explain herself "Well you see Asami… I …. kinda like you. No…. I'm in love with you, ever since we were kids. I just didn't know it back then but when you were gone I kept thinking about you. And the letters we wrote to each other made me realize that I'm in love with my best friend. I wrote you a letter pouring my heart out to you, but you didn't respond. I kept writing to you but still no response. Then one day I got a letter from you saying to stop writing to you and that I'm a freak and will never love someone like me. And then you come back here hugging me, which really confused me. So I thought you wanted to be friends again." Korra looked up at the sky.

Asami stood there in shock with her mouth slightly open. Korra loves me! Oh heck yeah! Then it hit Asami.

"Wait you wrote me a letter saying you love me?"

"Yeah"

"I never got…" Then Asami remembered her father was the one who would always get the mail. Her father must have intercepted Korra's letters. Asami knew her father was against gay couples but she never knew how far her father would go. Asami's anger began to boil, she and Korra could have had their happy ending sooner if it weren't for her father. Asami was ready to beat someone up. But then she saw those blue eyes staring back at her.

Asami sigh and took a step forward. She grabbed Korra's hand "I love you too Korra." Asami leaned in and kissed Korra on the lips with all the passion she had. Korra froze but finally gave in kissing Asami with just as much passion maybe even more. Asami got a little daring and brushed her tongue to Korra's bottom lips. Korra smirked into the kiss then she parted her lips to let Asami in. Asami pulled back while Korra tried to lean in more trying to kiss Asami again but Asami kept moving back. Korra finally gave up and opened her eyes to look at Asami who was smirking. Asami took Korra's hand and laced their fingers together.

"Will you by my prince charming and give me a happy ending?" Asami asked Korra.

Korra flashed that cute stupid little grin of hers "Yes!"Korra was about to kiss Asami but Asami placed a hand over Korra's chest preventing her. Korra was confused.

"Actually would you be my princess" Asami said with a smile.

Korra chuckled before lifting Asami up, holding her by her waist and gave her a quick peck on the lips. "Of course" Korra said placing Asami back down.

"Wait I have one more question? The old lady said you move back with your parents."

"Yeah I did"

"Yeah your parents who lives at the south pole"

"Used to live at the south pole now they moved here in republic city right across my old house."

Asami stared at Korra dumfounded. What the fudge that old lady couldn't tell me that my one true love was across the street. Asami's face was getting redder, she's really ready to beat someone up. Korra could practically see the steam coming out of her ears. So Korra gave Asami another kiss which relaxed her. They pulled away with their foreheads touching.

"So care to explain why you never got my love letter?"

"I'll tell you later right now let's just lay here and hold each other just like old times."

"Ok princess. Just like old times."

They laid there holding each other watching the sunset. Asami and Korra couldn't be happier. Just like back then Asami was the princess while Korra was her prince well in this case her princess. And maybe in the future Asami and Korra can be a family.

Asami also had to remind herself to scold her father for what he did.
