B-Be Careful

*Based after Book 1*


Mako made his way to the training area. He was going to ask Korra if she wanted to go to dinner at Narooks. He wasn't really going to take her to Narooks though, he was going to surprise her and take her to the Fall festival. He got up to the training area and didn't see Korra. But he did see Jinora and Ikki. He decided to ask them.

"Hey Ikki, Jinora! Have y'all seen Korra?" They looked up at him and started to giggle.

"Ooooooo, why? Are you guys gonna go out on a date? Where are you taking her? Can I come?" Ikki bombarded him with questions.

"Woah, slow down!" Mako said, his head spinning from all the questions.

"Please excuse Ikki, yeah, she is in her room." Jinora said.

She always seemed more mature than her age was. Mako thought, "Thanks Jinora, I'm gonna go ahead over there now." He quickly walked away to avoid more of Ikkis questions. When he got to her room he knocked on the door.

"Korra, are you in there?"

She opened the door, "Hey Mako." Korra said with a big smile on her face. He walked into her room and kissed her. They both smiled when they pulled away, only because they needed air. "So what are you doing here?"

He had gotten lost in her eyes again. Her exravegant blue eyes. They sparkled with all of her emotions. He could see love, happiness, and...confusion? Oh yeah! He forgot to tell her why he came over!

"Hellloooo?" Korra said.

"Oh yeah, sorry. I was wondering if you wanted to go to Narooks for dinner."

Her eyes shined with excitement. She nodded her head, "Yes, I would love to!"

They walked hand and hand out the door. They almost walked through the training area but Mako veered them off in another direction.

"Why are we going this way?" Korra asked.

"Ikki is by the training area."

"That explains it." She said while nodding in understanding.

They got on the boat and headed to the city. Mako rapped his arms around Korra on the ferry. He felt her shiver.

"Cold?"

She nodded, shivering again.

"Here." He then proceeded to wrap his scarf around her neck.

She snuggled her nose in it, she loved the way it smelled. Just like him, like a burning fire, and it made her feel at home. "Thanks Mako."

He just pulled her closer and they looked out at the water until they got to the city. When they arrived, Korra was surprised to see a festival of some sort going on. "What's this?"

Mako smiled, proud of himself for surprising her. "Surprise." She looked up at him with a huge grin on her face. He couldn't help but kiss her. "This is the Fall Festival, we have one every year. I thought you would want to come."

"Hell, yeah I wanted to come! This is amazing! Lets go!" She grabbed his hand and led him to the games.

"Korra slow down! The games aren't going anywhere!" He could barely keep up!

"Whoops sorry!" She slowed her pace and started walking to the games. When they got there, they played the darts game. Mako won Korra a giant stuffed Fire Ferret. He though it was funny. She took it with gratitude and gave him a big kiss on the lips. He led her to the Ferris wheel.

"Mako... I don't know about this. I may be the Avatar, but I don't like heights!"

"Oh come on! Don't tell me that the 'All-Mighty Avatar is afraid of a Ferris wheel! Lets go! You'll love it!"

"Ugh! Fine..."

"Great!" They got on the ride and went up, and up and up! Every time they got a little higher, Korra would scoot a little closer to Mako. When they got to the top she was practically on top of him. Which he didn't really mind. The ride stopped, like Ferris wheels are supposed too, but Korra didn't know that. When it stopped she flipped out.

"MAKO! I told you not to make me come up here! Ahhhh! I hate heights and now this stupid ride is broken! You are going to get it when we get off of here! What if we don't? What if they never fix it? Oh my spirits! Mako, what did you get me into?!" She was yelling.

"Korra, calm down! As hot as you are when your worried-" She glared at him -"there is nothing to be worried about! It's supposed to do that! It does that so that they can let the next group of people on! Relax!"

"Oh... okay. You could have just said that from the beginning!" She slapped his arm.

"You scared?" He asked her, amusement in his eyes.

"Pssshh, no. Maybe... Yes!" She leaned over the side and looked down. "We are WAY to high up!"

"Come here." Mako opened his arms for Korra to come into. She gladly accepted his offer and snuggled up to him. "Better now?"

"Yeah, thanks. I always feel safe with you." She blushed while saying it.

After a minuet or two, Korra completely forgot about her fear and was leaning over the edge.

"Whoa! Look at everyone! They look like ants!" Korra said in disbelief. Mako just laughed to himself. When Korra was almost all the way out of the cart, it started moving. "Ahhhhhhhhh!" Korra yelled in shock, she started falling when the ride started moving.

"Korra!" Mako grabbed her by the back of her coat. He hauled her back onto the cart and hugged her so much that she couldn't breath. "Spirits Korra! Be more careful! I thought you were afraid of heights anyways!"

"I-I am." She said surprised at the worry in his voice. "But we aren't at the top anymore..." She said with one eyebrow raised in confusion.

"Huh?" Mako asked still holding her in his arms.

"Mako, look down..." Korra said, amusement in her voice.

Mako looked down and started blushing. He was so lost in her beauty, again, that he didn't realize that they were at the bottom again. They were only about 4 feet above the ground. "Oh... Well excuse me for being worried." His face was as red as his scarf that Korra was still wearing.

"Geez City Boy, I can handle myself from 4 feet in the air." She pulled him close. "But I do appreciate you being so worried. You look hot when you're worried." She said throwing his words right back at him. Mako just laughed and kissed her, relieved that she was okay.
