Thank you and continue to the story.

Note: This story may not be great, but it was a shot in the dark. I have no real idea what might happen season two, this is just what I would like to happen.

Chapter 2

A week later, Asami stood in front of her mirror, inspecting her dress. She had to catch an early ferry into the city. She and Iroh had decided to started a game to see who would be the first out of Team Avatar to realize that they were on a first name basis.

As she checked her reflection one last time, there was a knock on her door.

"Asami, may I come in?", it was Pema.

Asami opened the door and allowed the mother of four in.

"Well, I was about to tell you it's almost time for lunch, but it seems you're going somewhere.", Pema said with a smile.

"Last week at the South Pole, Iroh asked me if I would go to tea with him, and I accepted. We have a game going on to see who, out of Korra, Mako, and Bolin, notices that we're on first name basis. I have to hurry. I was supposed to be at the local branch of The Jasmine Dragon just before lunch time.", Asami replied, buckling her black Mary Jane pumps.

"Your secret is safe with me, dear.", Pema said quickly, handing Asami her purse.

"Thanks, Pema.", Asami said, giggling.

She was almost out of the house when a voice stopped her.

"You look pretty dressed up for a normal lunch, Asami.", it was Mako.

"Who said I was having lunch on Air Temple Island?", Asami asked rhetorically.

"Where are you going then?", Mako asked, making Asami glad to see the jealousy in his eyes, and the frustrated look on his face.

"I have a meeting to get to, Mako.", she said curtly, leaving before he could reply.

General Iroh, crown prince of the Fire Nation, was making his way to the Jasmine Dragon from the ferry. He had just spoken with Commander Bumi, as well as Master Tenzin, about where he was going. As he left, he didn't seem to notice Mako following him, watching him, even as he got on the ferry and went over to a flower stand.

"Hey, there, General. Where are you off to today?", Mako asked, trying to seem inconspicuous.

"I am to meet with someone today in regards to the rebuilding process. You?", Iroh asked, is mask firmly in place.

"I needed some time away from my brother, so I decided to get some flowers for Korra. Who'd you buy the rose for, if you don't mind me asking?", Mako asked, looking at the pink rose in the General's hand.

"No one special." he lied, though not entirely, "The daughter of the founder of the company I am meeting with today will be at the meeting, and it is tradition, as a Fire Nation royal, to present her with a flower."

"Oh, good luck in your meeting then.", Mako said, still suspicious of the young general.

A few minutes later...

At the ferry dock in the city, Asami walked to the tea shop. To her surprise, Iroh was not there yet. If she was correct, and she usually was when it came to time, Iroh was late.

"You look beautiful, Asami.", she heard someone say.

Turning around, she saw Iroh, dressed in black slacks, a red dress-shirt, black leather shoes, and a black sports-coat. In his hand, he held a single, pink rose with a pink ribbon around it.

"You're late for tea. You don't look so bad yourself, Iroh.", she replied, her tone going for joking to plain happy, smiling at him.

"Did Mako stop you? He asked me where I was going. The only people that know are us, Tenzin, and the Commander.", Iroh said.

"Yeah, he did. I told him I had a meeting to get to, and I left. Pema knows though, but only because she came into my room just before I left.", Asami replied, frowning slightly.

"Well, let's not fret about Mako. I hear the people here have managed to master my great-great uncle's recipes.", Iroh said, handing the rose to Asami, who placed it in her hair.

Half an hour later, they were sitting at a table, drinking jasmine tea, and talking about everything.

"So you don't have a problem with fire benders, even though one killed your mom?", Iroh asked.

"Nope. It wasn't like every fire bender out there came and killed her. I am not like my father. I couldn't blame all fire benders for something a few did. It would be like me wanting to harm or hate all of the girls looking at me with envy right now because they just realized I am drinking tea and having a normal-ish conversation with you.", Asami replied, smirking and waving at a young woman about her age who was staring at them from across the room.

Iroh chuckled and waved the waiter over and paid for their tea, then turned back to Asami.

"I had fun. Would it be too bold of me to ask you to tea again next week?", he asked.

"No, it wouldn't be. I would be more than happy to go out to tea with you again.", Asami replied, taking his arm as they left the shop.

Their weekly teas went on for the next two months, the same girls always there, gawking at the young heiress and United Forces General drink their tea, talk, and laugh, then, Iroh finally asked Asami out on a real date, much to the dismay of the General's "fangirls."

"Asami, we've become close in these past few weeks. I was wondering if you would like to accompany me to dinner this weekend?", he asked.

"I'd love to, Iroh.", she replied, giggling ever so slightly.

The weekend came, as did the night of Asami and Iroh's official first date. Asami was once again in her room, observing herself in the mirror. She was wearing a knee-length red dress with a sweetheart neckline and off-the-shoulder sleeves.

Just as she was debating about changing her dress, Pema poked her head in.

"Asami, you look fine. If you don't go now, you'll be late.", the mother of four said with a laugh.

"No I won't. I'm changing out of this one. It's too formal.", Asami said casually, quickly looking through her closet for another dress.

Five minutes later, she was re-dressed in a purple halter-neck dress and black high heels. Patting her hair down, she grabbed her purse, hugged and thanked Pema her for her help, and hurried out to the ferry.

Upon reaching the ferry, she was immediately confused. Instead of Iroh, Mako was standing at the dock.

"A bit late to be out, don't you think, Asami?", he asked.

"Not when one has plans in the city, Mako.", she answered calmly.

"Whatever.", Mako grumbled before walking off.

Just as Mako was back inside, Iroh walked over to Asami, revealing that he had been waiting for Mako to leave.

"I think our little game may soon be over, my dear Asami. Mako seems to have nearly figured us out.", he chuckled, smiling at his date.

"He's smart, but not that smart. He just knows that I'm most likely seeing someone. No one has noticed anything else yet. Well, Jinora might have, but she's not on the team, now, is she?", Asami asked with a smirk.

"Well, she's family, so she's allowed to know.", Iroh said, knowing he's probably be explaining this one the entire ferry ride into the city.

"What do you mean by that?", Asami asked.

A/N: How was it? R&R and be brutal. I can take a little constructive criticism.
