So this a new story I've made following Lost. You need to read that before this. If you have already read Lost, please enjoy!(:
"Hey! What are you doing! Come back here!" Mako shouted.
Mako and Korra were on babysitting duty. Mako was now chasing after Meelo, who insisted to use Mako's scarf to try and fly. Korra was getting Jinora's books back from Ikki. Tenzin was at a council meeting, Pema was visiting her sister, and Bolin was performing a street show with Pabu.
Korra promised to give Ikki lechee juice if she gave her the books. Jinora now has her books, Ikki's mad because she doesn't have the lechee juice she was promised, and Meelo is chewing on Mako's head.
"Meelo," Korra said, picking him up off of Mako's head, "you don't bite someone's head. Now go find Ikki. I think she has lechee juice." And Meelo ran off to find Ikki.
Mako sighed for relief. "What would I do without you?" He said, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Become a human chew toy." Korra said, then kissing him.
Jinora and Ikki started giggling. They broke apart. "Hey!" Korra shouted, and Ikki and Jinora ran off. "Yep. That worked." Korra said, then proceeded to kiss Mako again as he laughed.
Next thing they knew Tenzin and Pema were walking in.
"Korra!" Tenzin shouted, and Mako and Korra jumped 2 feet apart.
"Tenzin! Umm, we were just-" Korra started, but was cut off by Tenzin.
"Korra you-"
"Should come help me with dinner." Pema said.
Korra was shocked at first, but proceeded to follow Pema. Tenzin stared at Mako for a minute, and walked off. They had known about them since the Pro-Bending game 6 months ago, yet he freaked every time they were together.
Pema invited Mako to stay for dinner. Once they had all taken a few bites Tenzin broke the silence.
"Korra, I believe the time has come for you to take your airbending test." he said.
"Are you serious? Yes!" Korra exclaimed.
"This test is not as easy as your others may have been. You must meditate. And the only way to know you've mastered all the elements is if you can enter the Avatar State." Tenzin said.
Korra was silent. Mako looked over at her, worried. "The- the Avatar State? I've only been in it once and that was because of Aang! I can't enter on purpose!" She exclaimed.
"I'm not saying you automatically fail, but you must enter on your own at some point to pass." Tenzin said.
"Ugh." Korra stood up. "I'm going for a walk." Then she left.
"Korra!" Tenzin started.
"It's okay. I'll go talk to her." Mako said, following where Korra went.
Mako guessed she would be out by the water, where she would normally go. She was sitting on the sand, gently bending the water.
"Korra? Are you okay?" Mako said, sitting next to her.
"How am I supposed to enter the Avatar State when I don't have a need for it? I barely beat Amon with it." Korra said.
"Korra I know you can do it. You're strong, amazing, and an amazing Avatar. I believe in you." Mako said, and kissed her forehead.
Korra smiled and leaned against his shoulder. They sat together on the water until the sunset. Mako looks over at Korra to see she's fallen asleep. He chuckles, and picks her up. Mako carries her back to her room and lays her on her bed. He covers her up with a blanket.
He kisses her forehead and carresses her face. "Sweet dreams, my Avatar. I still believe in you."
The next day Korra had gotten up for airbending training. She wanted to be prepared for her test. Katara and some other members of the White Lotus would be coming soon to decide if she passes. She was still stressed about it after training so she headed up to the Pro-Bending arena.
"Korra!" someone shouted at her from behind. She turned around to see Bolin.
"Hey Bolin." Korra said casually.
"So I heard about your up coming test. Sounds like a lot of work." Bolin said as they made their way up to the gym.
"It is. It's in a couple of days. But at least Katara's gonna be there." Korra stated. Katara was one of the few White Lotus members that wasn't so hard on her.
Bolin nodded. They started training then something popped in Korra's mind. "Hey, where's Mako?"
"He's not coming. He said he had to do something important." Bolin said.
"Oh. Okay." Korra said sadly. Mako always knew how to cheer her up. And he never misses practice. What could be so important?
Korra was tired after practice. She decided to head back to the Air Temple to take a nap. She got back on the island and started walking to her room.
She felt a presence. And next thing she knew, a hand flew over her eyes.
"Surprise, Avatar."
