Korra walked into the room where Tenzin and Pema were talking. She took a deep breath and advanced towards the couple.
"I have something to ask you." she directed at Tenzin. The two looked at her in anticipation. "Okay so, Asami got invited to a friend's house on Saturday and…" her mind went blank. She couldn't find the words she needed to make a convincing claim, but she was never really the best with words. So she blurted "WethoughtitwouldbegoodifMakoBolinandIgotothisnewclub." She took another deep breath. "I know Amon is out there and the equalists are too but, sincethearenagotcloseddownwereallyhaven'tdoneanythingfuntogetherandI'msostressedoutijustwanttopullmyhairout." she slowed down. "We won't do anything stupid or crazy we just want to have a fun night to ourselves. Damn she thought I bombed that. She awaited there answer.
Tenzin started to reject her but was soon cut off by Pema. "Tenzin I think it's a great idea. She's a teenager. Yes, she may be the Avatar but I remember what I was like at that age, don't you?"
He gave the same stern look as before. "Yes I remember myself at seventeen. I was a young prodigy, who already mastered airbending and was about to get my tattoo, and beginning to follow in his Father's footsteps." Korra's hope began to wither away.
"Forget I asked." She walked away. As she went she heard bits and pieces of The conversation. "…No I have given her way too much freedom already…", and "what would your parents have done?" It was over, and Korra went to find the boys.
"Really?" Bolin whined. "I was so looking forward to it."
Mako took a seat on the ground next to the earthbender. "Well maybe it's for the best. Korra is supposed to be keeping a low profile."
Korra was furious at the firbender's comment. "Thank you, professor! I'm so glad this wasn't YOUR idea" She snapped, then stomped off. Spirits, did he piss her off.
Mako watched her walk away, and his brother follow. He was alone for the first time in a while. He decided to use it to think. What is her deal? She should understand more than anyone. Spirits! She's so infuriating! All of a sudden he felt himself thinking back to the night they kissed, the kiss itself. Everything started to melt away. It was just the two of them in the world, exactly how he hoped it would be. For a moment he wasn't confused anymore. It was Korra, it was always Korra. Her sweet blush as they pulled away. Then a wave of guilt strike when he remembered his brother's face. "I'm sorry Bo" he whispered. "I'm so sorry."
Korra walked through the halls of her new home. Come on Mako this was all your idea. She was so deep in thought she ran right into Asami. "Oh, sorry" she said quickly and tried to make her way around her.
"What's going on Korra, you seem down?" Asami tried.
"Oh, it's no big deal" Korra said. "Tenzin just thinks I should lay low and not go out. I'm disappointed but whatever I'll get over it."
The nonbender tried to hide a smile. "Well that's too bad." Korra noticed the slight happiness in her voice. Oh so it's like that is it Fancy Pants. Korra looked at Asami.
"Yeah" she said "it would have been fun though. Meeting new people, and who knows maybe even a guy I actually like."
Asami felt somewhat relived. Maybe… Maybe Korra doesn't like Mako. Ikki was just a little girl; she probably had no clue what she was talking about. Korra continued to speak.
"Honestly, I was a little worried about going, but I'm still really disappointed." That should shut her up. And it did. Asami was getting excited about the Avatar not being interested in Mako. She liked Korra, they were friends. Korra was the one who graciously supplied her with a place to live when she had nowhere else to go. That being said, she had felt that the firebender was distancing himself lately. And Asami really didn't know whose fault it was.
Korra went back to training. She decided to take a break and talk to Ikki and Jinora for a while.
"Korra" Ikki began, "how come Mako doesn't like you?" The girl was as subtle as a badger mole in the sun.
"IKKI!" Jinora snapped. "You can't just ask that!"
Korra let out a fake giggle and pretended it didn't hurt. "Its fine," she forced, "I don't really care if he doesn't like me." Spirits lying has never been so hard before "I never really liked him that much anyway" Just then Pema came towards them.
"Dinner is ready girls." Ikki and Jinora ran to eat but, Pema kept Korra behind "You'll never guess what I did" The woman sang. "I convinced Tenzin to let you guys go Saturday." Korra was stunned. Pema actually did it!
"H-How?" Korra stuttered.
"It was easy. If you guys are out having fun you won't be causing trouble with the city. Once I brought that up he was happy to listen, or at least pretend to. Plus his father threw a dance party in a cave for kids who weren't supposed to be dancing. Not to mention the other shenanigans he got into." Korra had to hand it to Pema, she was pretty awesome.
Dinner was fun. After Pema and the kids left, they talked about the plans for the weekend. Tenzin stood up. "Don't do anything stupid. Try not to drink, and stay AWAY from Cactus Juice." He glanced at Mako "you're in charge." Korra opened her mouth to protest, but realized it was no use. He wasn't going to let up on that one. The airbender got up to leave. "Goodnight, I shall see you in the morning" Korra knew the man well enough she recognized it as "I'm going to work now don't bug me."
This was it, they were going! It would be so exciting and, all they had to do was wait three days.
