Chapter 1
Korra was angry. The Fire Ferrets still were no closer to getting the large sum of money. Bolin's latest attempt only resulted in his kidnapping. She also saw Amon, who proved that he could take people's bending away. Korra was frustrated.
Since Naga for some reason decided to take a nap, Korra decided to briefly explore some parts of the city on foot. As the teenager crossed a road, a moped crashed into her. "Hey, watch it," spoke Korra as she looked at the person who just hit her.
The driver took of her helmet revealing a beautiful face; the young woman had long black hair that she waived in the air. "I am so sorry, I did not mean to hit you," spoke the new girl, as she helped Korra to stand up.
"Are you hurt? I was such an idiot; I needed to pay more attention to the traffic. I am an experienced driver, I should not have," began the young woman.
"Don't worry about that," spoke Korra as she observed the person who hit her. A small smile formed on her lips, "I trade harder hits with my teammates, and when I trained in my bending studies I had rougher times,"
"Wait, I know you. You are the Avatar, right? I saw you from a newspaper. You gave a speech to the press where you wanted to bring peace to Republic City. And you are also a member of Fire Ferrets? I am so embarrassed. I am Asami," spoke Asami as she blushed, extending her hand.
Korra blushed as well, since she remembered that she only played one game and Asami must have known about her poor performance. "I would rather you not have known about my game for the Fire Ferrets, I mean, I played horribly,"
"Nonsense Avatar Korra, it was your first time at pro bending. Besides, I wondered what kind of moves you did when you avoided all those attacks," asked Asami
"Thank you. Well, I guess I will have to go now," spoke Korra as she prepared to leave.
"Wait, I wish to compensate you somehow. It was my fault that I hit you in the first place. Lets eat at Kwong's," spoke Asami. Korra looked at the other girl.
"I have an Air bending practice today.
"Alright. I know where the Air Temple Island is located. I will pick you up," smiled Asami as she climbed on her moped and drove off.
Korra looked at the disappearing figure of the beautiful woman. "Stop it, she just invited you on a friend date, not on a actual date. Besides, I like Mako," thought Korra although she began to have doubts. She recollected her few conversations with the Fire bender, and while he was a good teammate and a friend, and the two worked efficiently to rescue Bolin, the two had quite a few disagreements.
"I will see how it goes," thought Korra as she journeyed back to the Air Temple Island.
When she returned, she saw Tenzin's disapproving face. "Where were you, Korra? We were all worried about you. Not only have you not continued to practice, you also left the island for who knows where," spoke Tenzin in frustration.
"Relax Tenzin. What has your son told me? Right, be the leaf," laughed Korra as she went to get a snack.
"We will continue this conversation! I expect you to be ready for your next Air bending training session in fifteen minutes," spoke Tenzin.
After her short snack, Korra stood next to Tenzin. "I think you should try your first exercise again. I know you made some progress during your pro bending game, and I think you should apply what you learned towards the actual Air bending exercise," spoke Tenzin as Korra nodded and the Air Master blew wind at the wooden gates.
Korra approached the device, and managed to maneuver between the wooden planks. They hit her occasionally, but overall, she managed to avoid collisions, and soon successfully exited from the other side.
"I see you improved a lot, although your technique is still a little rusty. Lets try again. Faster this time," spoke Tenzin as he created quicker air current waves. Korra began the exercise, but now she hit the planks more frequently.
"Ouch," spoke Korra as she fell on the ground. She lay on her back, with her face looking into the sky.
"Korra! There you are. How are you? I am so sorry, I did not mean to interrupt your studies," spoke Asami, as she looked first at Korra and then at Tenzin.
"You decided to see me at my worst. You like to embarrass me, don't you," spoke Korra as Asami chuckled, and helped Korra to stand up.
"Hello Councilman Tenzin. I had a dinner date with Korra at Kwong's tonight, and came to pick her up," spoke Asami
"Hello Ms. Sato," greeted her Tenzin.
Tenzin looked first at Korra, and then at Asami. The Air bending Master lifted an eyebrow. "Fine, you can go to dinner, but please don't go anywhere dangerous," spoke Tenzin
"Don't worry Councilman Tenzin, I would protect Korra," smiled Asami as Korra blushed.
"That reminds me, the White Lotus bought you formal attire, which you could wear tonight. Ask Pema, she knows where it is," spoke Tenzin as he quickly left the two young women.
"Thank you for ending the practice. I had some progress, but I doubt I could continue it for much longer, as I still struggle with that exercise, and would probably get quite annoyed really fast," spoke Korra
"Don't say that. I am sure you are a patient Avatar," spoke Asami as she looked at Korra, "I will wait for you here while you change. See you soon,"
Korra smiled and left. Soon the two young women were driving in a luxury Satomobile model, before arriving at the restaurant. Neither of the ladies could have known that they would soon become the center of an upcoming conflict in the Republic City.
A/N: So I decided to write an AU, where Asami hit Korra instead of Mako with moped. While I have seen some of these AUs, I plan to write at least AU of book 1, with changes. This is basically in my opinion how book 1 should have been. There will not be a love triangle, and Korrasami will start in book 1. Korra's relationship with Asami will also help Korra's character development. I do plan to have a few twists as well.
I am especially waiting to write Aftermath chapter, with Hiroshi's thoughts on Korrasami. That would be fun to write.
