"Hell yeah!" Korra grinned at Bolin and Opal.

"So how are you gonna break the ice?" Bolin asked as he finished up his ice cream cone.

"I haven't thought about that." Korra's enthusiasm draining as the moments passed. "Wait she just sent me a message. 'Beautiful dog and you aren't too bad yourself.'" Korra gaped up to Bolin. "How am I supposed to reply to something like that?"

"Well you can be the usual you and use that potato pick up line," Bolin mocked. "Or you can say thank you and compliment her back."

"Hold on," Opal interrupted. "Potato pick up line?"

There was no denying the blush on Korra's cheeks as she sank into the booth.

"Haha. Oh yeah it's great. She used to have this huge crush on this guy named Iroh back in high school. Well we finally made her go up to him and try to talk to him. She walks up to his table were it was him and all his friends in the middle of lunch and blurts 'If you were a potato you'd be a really hot potato!' She then covered her mouth and walked off." Bolin was holding his sides as he was desperately trying to catch his breath in between laughs.

"What?" Opal looked at Korra in disbelief.

"I don't know. I had this whole thing planned in my head about potatoes and sweet potatoes since we just had a world history class and were covering places that certain foods originated from and potatoes were a huge debate. Anyway, he asked me out later that afternoon and we went and had hamburgers and some great French fries so it kinda worked out." Korra said.

"Well I think this Asami might be a little classier than a potato pickup line, Kor." Opal said. "Why don't you complement her back and try to talk to her about her car or something?"

"Yeah I guess. I just don't wanna seem too generic." Korra replied.

"Oh I know! Ask her who she would be if she could trade lives with any fictional character without special powers."

"That's a different type of question but I like it. Thanks Bo" At that Korra replied.

Korra- Thank you. So random question… If you could be any any fictional character without special powers who would you be and why?

Asami- Hmmm… That's a tough one. No special powers, huh? I don't know who would you be?

Korra- Honestly, I'm not really sure but I would want something that's exciting. Oh I know- Laura Croft.

Asami- Oh that's such a good one! Why didn't I think of her? Hmmm… Ok how about Michelle Rodriguez' character from the Fast and the Furious. I think her name was Letty, yeah her. I wanna drive like that all the time.

Korra- All the time? So you drive like that some of the time?!

Asami- Only when I am running late to work. ;)

During the whole text back and forth Korra was keeping Bolin and Opal in on what was happening.

"Well Korra she sounds like she could be lots of fun," Opal looked up at Bolin. "I would love to hear how the rest of the convo goes but Bolin and I are meeting my mom for coffee."

"Oh yeah sure thing." Korra was glued to her phone waiting to see if Asami was going to start up the convo again.

"Alright Korra keep us in the loop and I'll see you at practice tonight."

"Yeah ok Bolin. See ya Opal." Korra half-replied.

"I sure hope this Asami person doesn't lead Korra on too much." Bolin whispered to Opal. "After Mako she needs someone to treat her decently."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Asami- So are you from RC?

Korra- Kind of. My dad is the Southern Water Tribe delegate and moved us here when I was younger. Besides my stint in the Water Tribe Marine Corps this has always been home. How about you?

Asami- Wow! I was wondering what branch of service you were in. That's so badass. Why did you join?

And yeah I'm from here but I went to high school and university in the Fire Nation. Just moved back a few weeks ago for work.

Korra- Fire Nation huh? That's pretty cool. I vacationed on Ember Island once but that was the extent of my time there.

As for the whole Marine thing- Everyone in the Water Tribe is required to do some sort of civil service. A lot opt for Conservation Corps stuff but I was restless and needed a bit more excitement.

Asami- Really, you are required to serve? That is interesting. I'm sure you have a lot of amazing stories.

Korra- Yeah for the most part I do. It was a good time but I'm glad to get some, well most, of my freedom back.

Asami- I bet.

Korra and Asami continued their conversation up unto the night.

Korra- Well Asami I had a wonderful time talking to you, but I have to get to practice. Catch up later?

Asami- What sport do you do? And yes I would love to talk to you again.

Korra- Jiu-jitsu. And awesome, hey you can always text me too if that's easier. (011) 110-0011

Asami- Damn girl! Get it! I love talking to you but not 100% ready to give out my actual number yet. Hope that's ok. I just have had crazy experiences with people.

Korra looked at her phone a little bummed.

Korra- Yeah completely understand. Well TTYL.

At that Korra shoved her phone into her gym bag and changed into her gi. As she walked out of the locker room Bolin came running up to her.

"Well have you guys talked any more?" Bolin asked.

"Yeah, we've actually been talking most of the day." Korra replied as she tied her belt around her waist.

"So is it the same Asami? Opal has been on my case a bit after I called her fat."

"You know I didn't think to ask her that but she said she went to high school in the Fire Nation so I doubt it. I think she might have said something if she had been going to school here too." Korra said.

After an hour of grappling both Korra and Bolin found themselves exhausted. As they made their way back to the locker room Korra stopped Bolin.

"You really had me on that last arm bar. You must really be hitting the conditioning training really well when I'm not around."

Bolin was flexing his muscles. "Yeah well getting in a few extra sessions without you is the only way I know I'll be able to beat you. We might be different weight classes but you just have crazy speed and I need to counteract that with sheer force."

"I think we are gonna be unstoppable when we go to Zaofu for the tournament. Did Opal say whether or not we can stay with her family so we save some cash as opposed to a hotel?"

"Yeah we can. Actually, Opal was gonna make the trip with us since she hasn't been home in a while. Her mom was only here for a few days on business and she wants me to meet her whole family with her. I guess her brothers can be a bit outlandish."

"That's great. It seems like you two are starting to take big steps." Korra looked up at the clock on the wall. "Crap, I gotta run Naga is probably at the door with her legs crossed. Text me later?"

"Of course. I wanna hear more about your Tinder matches."

"Sure thing. Talk to you later."

At that Korra went into the locker room to change. She did take a quick look at her Tinder account though.

Hmm… 3 new matches. Oh look Asami sent me a message.

Asami- So I feel bad about shooting down us texting as opposed to us still using this app. So I wanna explain a bit. This is all super new to me and I like the anonymity behind this for the most part and being able to unmatch people. I did give my number to a girl I had been talking to for a short while and that was a disaster. She wouldn't stop texting and calling. Then she disappeared and her boyfriend called me asking if I knew about where she was. Then the police questioned me. It was a disaster and I'm just not ready to deal with something like that again, or ever so I wanna just take it slow on here for a bit. But I really have enjoyed talking to you.

Korra- Wow that sucks. I have yet to encounter any crazies but now I'm gonna not give out my number. So if you could not be crazy that would be great…

With that last message sent Korra showered up and headed out the door to head home.

On her ride back home all Korra could think about was the girl that had stalked Asami. Maybe she needed to be a little more vigilant in the kind of people she as talking to. There had been a few weirdos. She was so lost in her thoughts that as she pulled her bike into her usual parking spot she didn't notice the same exact motorcycle, this one in red to contrast her blue, a few spaces away.

As she walked through the hallway and to her door she stopped dead in her tracks. There he was, amber eyes locked on to her blue.

"Mako, what are you doing here?" She could feel her ears starting to warm up. She missed seeing him.

"Hey Korra, I was hoping we could talk." He replied looking at her.

"Yeah, uh… Come in."
