Okay, I really couldn't stop writing on this one, but it was so much fun and I really wanted to get to the end! :) I'm really glad this story is going so smoothly, and I hope all of you are enjoying yourselves! NOTICE: I need some super help! I'll take suggestions from anyone. But I'm conflicted. Should Korra just be momentarily paralyzed, or should she be able to recover? I can't quite decide, and need some alternate views. Any who, read on!

It's like any other day really; Korra gets up, moves onto her wheel chair from her bed, gets ready, and moves to the kitchen for breakfast. It's easy because everything is scaled for her and she doesn't need to reach much. She eats and reads the paper like usual, but she seems a little off today. She feels… trapped. She wheels herself over to the window with a bowl of cereal in hand, and looks out to see the leaves falling and people walk by with their arms covered. It dawns of her; it's the fall, and she has yet to have been outside. Does it matter at this point? She couldn't just wheel herself down from her apartment and expect to wheel herself back up there again. And she hasn't been out in months; how could she know where to go? And who could she get to help wheel her around and- it hits her instantly and she slaps herself on the forehead. Of course! Asami! Korra wheels herself over to where her cell phone sits. She hasn't ever called anyone, let alone Asami. But it's worth a shot, and if Asami doesn't answer, well fate might be telling herself something. She unlocks her phone, and scowls. Actually, she hasn't even picked up this phone since her accident. She goes immediately to her contacts, skipping anything else that would give her memories away. Both the raven haired girl and the doctor said not to bring on too many memories at one time. So Korra, for once in her life, listens to the advice. Wait, did she just go to recent calls? She stares at the name that's at the top. Asami. Asami was the last one she had talked to before her accident. She wonders what they talked about, and suddenly her head hurts drastically and the room starts to spin.

"Yes Asami. Yes, I know. I know, I won't drink. I promise, really!" Korra laughs as she stands away from the crowd that fills her physic office. "I just think since you're driving you need to be a little weary, that's all." Asami says on the other line and Korra chuckles, "Hey, Babe." The emerald eyed girl stays silent, until Korra hears, "Hm?" "I love you. Okay? So much. And I promise I won't drink tonight. I'll be home early anyway, remember? It's our night off." Korra hears sigh before she can basically hear Asami smile, "I love you too, silly head. Now hurry, because you might have more fun when you get home." Korra's face flushes and she hears Asami laugh, "Love you Korra. Bye." Korra hangs up the phone and looks to her coworkers. "Korra, why is your face all red?" Korra just shakes her head and grabs some Pocky she brought with her and sticks it in her mouth, "Oh nothing!"

Korra braces her head and breaths heavily. What was that?! She doesn't comprehend any of what that memory was about at all! She shakes her head and wheels herself over to the cabinet, grabbing some pain pills and popping them in her mouth. Damn these legs! Damn my memories! Damn everything! She can't think straight anymore! Okay, she tells herself, okay. Maybe it is a good idea to get a whiff of outside today. She takes her shaking hand and guides it along her phone until she puts it up to her ear as it starts to ring. Pick up, pick up, Korra mentally whispers and she jumps when she hears, "Korra?" Her voice was light, yet somehow she can hear Asami straining. Maybe she needed a break too. "H-Hey, Ms. Sato-" "Korra, I insisted that you call me Asami." "Oh, oh right, Asami. I uh-, I was wondering if you could… take me outside today?" Korra voice cracks a little. Oh hell, now she's done it. She sounds too desperate. "I-" Asami pauses, before she hears papers rustling and then, "of course! I'll be over soon, okay?" Korra leaps from her waist, "Sweet!"

"So, what made you want to come outside today?" Asami asks as she wheels Korra around a homely park, a place where she and Korra would come often to when they had some free time before her accident. Korra shrugs, "I just felt trapped today. I don't know why though." Korra is surprised her mouth just automatically opens, and words spill out so easily to her friend. "Tell me about it," Asami chuckles, "I know how you feel. Ever since my dad went to prison, I've been working my butt off trying to keep the company up." Korra scowls and tilts her head back to meet green eyes. "Your dad's in prison? Why?" She doesn't mean to pry, but, but this was the perfect Asami and her loving father. "Well, he did some illegal stuff I guess." Asami just shrugs as if she's said this a billion times, but she contains her blush at the cute way Korra tilts her head. Korra's frown deepens, "I know I don't remember much, but your dad seemed like a pretty cool guy. I'm really sorry. I'd actually give you a hug, but…" Asami smiles and so does Korra as they make their way further into the park. Asami is wearing a light red jacket that hugs her perfectly, while Korra just wears a blue hoddie with white strings. But Korra can't help but to stare at Asami; her eyes sparkled and her hair moved in the wind just right it made it look like they were in a movie together. "Like the view?" Asami asks, and Korra can't tell if she's talking about herself or the trees around them that mix with autumn colors. Blue eyes trace Asami's face one more time, before Korra turns her head to look at the scene around her. A couple walk holding hands and laughing, and huddling close to one another. Korra scowls, and she turns her head back to Asami, who was staring at the couple with teary eyes. "Oh, Asami. Did I keep you from your boyfriend or something?" Korra asks, and Asami jumps, wiping the tears and smiles to Korra. "No," she chuckles faintly, "I don't have one. Plus, guys aren't really my thing." That suprises Korra, "Oh! I didn't know that!" A full blown blush forms on Korra's face, and she fiddles with her jacket's zipper. Raven locks flutter in the wind, "ha, yeah. So no worries, no girlfriend either." Korra smiles and puts her hand on Asami's, "I'm sure there's someone out there for you. Don't worry." Asami can only stare at Korra with conflicting eyes, before she smiles bitterly and shakes her head. "Thanks."

"Hey. I remembered another thing a couple days ago." Korra begins the conversation as the two sit by a bench. "Oh? Again?" Asami asks and takes a sip of her coffee she ordered just moments ago. "Yeah. This time we were having dinner with our families. And we went to go put your brother to bed. And then you tried.." Korra suddenly scowls, "it sounded like you were trying to comfort me, but I just sort of pushed you away." Asami recalls the memory vividly, and she just smiles and takes another sip. "And then I got a call from… from my girlfriend I guess." Korra's face flushes and she turns away, and Asami almost chokes on her coffee. "O-Oh." Asami says and Korra just keeps her face away. Then suddenly Asami laughs, "You don't have to be so shy about it." Korra slowly turns her head back, "I just… I never pictured myself having a girlfriend. I mean, yeah I've known I've been into girls for a while, but I never thought I'd actually score some." This time they both laugh. "Actually, you were a lady's.. girl I guess." Asami giggles and Korra turns bright red again, "You flirted with everyone. It doesn't surprise me at all." Korra shakes her head and she takes a sip of her hot chocolate. "Anika." Asami finally says solemnly, and blue eyes turn to her. "What?" "Anika; that was her name. You really cared for her." Asami repeats, and Korra frowns, "Then why am I not with her now?" Asami sighs and just shakes her head. "You met someone else." "Who?" Asami looks away and grins a little, before it disappears suddenly. "I guess you should figure that out on your own this time."

"Hey Asami, thanks again for taking me out today. It was really a blast!" Korra beams and Asami smiles widely, "Any time. Just call me, okay?" As Asami nods and begins to walk away, Korra stops her. "Wait!" Blue eyes catch hers that are confused. "Is there something wrong?" Asami starts to walk back to Korra and Korra blushes instantly. "I just…. I need to tell you something." The green eyed girl scowls, "what is it?" The water tribe girl huffs, "come here. It's… it's a secret." Asami just shrugs to herself, and bends down to Korra's ear before she feels a gentle kiss on her cheek. "Thanks. For, you know. Everything." Asami stays in her position, completely stunned, and watches as Korra wheels into her apartment and shuts the door. A smile slowly creeps onto Asami's face as she puts a hand to her rosy cheek, "You're welcome, Korra."
