Alright here it is, Chapter 2. Enjoy! :)
It took Pema most of the day to get everything packed and ready for their trip, but with the help from Tenzin and their kids it went by smoothly. Tenzin had sent a telegram to Katara about their arrival and he had received one back saying that they should meet in front of the palace.
Bolin had started packing as soon as he had ended his conversation with Tenzin, he completely forgot that Asami and Mako were there but they didn't mind. Mako was just glad that Bolin packed right away instead of waiting until the very last moment, then he wouldn't be stressed right before they left.
Asami told the brothers that she would get home and talk to a few people, so they knew what to do while she was away, and pack her own things for the trip and Mako left right after her.
But when Mako got home, he was a little unsure if he should pack his things or not. Tenzin had said that he would take care of everything but he wanted to be completely sure. It wouldn't be a good thing if he left and Tenzin hadn't fixed it. The phone rang and Mako answered it. It was Lin; she told him that he had a week of vacation and that it started from the following day, Mako thanked her a lot before he hung up. He smiled to himself and grabbed his bag and threw it onto the bed then he found some warm clothes and started packing everything he could think of. While he did all of that he grinned wildly, he hadn't seen Korra for five months and in a few days he would finally be able to give her a hug and tell her how much he had missed her, He didn't care if they had broken up, he just really needed to tell her.
It was almost noon and Asami, Bolin and Mako was on the ferry to Air Temple Island. Bolin was so excited that he almost jumped up and down like a child who was waiting for their birthday present. "Bo. Take it easy." Mako said as he looked at Bolin. The younger brother looked up and just said "Sorry Mako but I can't help it. I'm just so excited." He smiled brightly and then ran towards the front of the ferry. Mako sighed but smiled, he knew exactly how his brother felt because he felt the same way, but he just didn't show.
It seemed like the ferry ride took forever but they were finally at Air Temple Island, they took their bags and stepped off of the ferry.
Asami looked at the Stairs and sighed. Great. I'm going to sweat. She thought to herself. Bolin noticed and took a step closer towards her "Want some help?" He said with a smile. Asami turned around, surprised that someone had noticed her. She gave him a little smile "Thanks Bo. If you could take one of my bags then I think I can manage the other one." She said and handed him the bag she wanted him to carry. "Sure." He said and took it.
Mako hadn't heard anything of what they said because he was caught up in his own thoughts about Korra. He shook his head slightly, it wasn't right to think so much about her they had broken up after all. But he couldn't help himself he missed her so much.
When they finally reached the top they heard the kids yell "Mako! Bolin! Asami!" and ran towards them. "Are you coming too? Are you excited to see Korra? Do you need some help with your bags?" Ikki asked just with as much energy as usual.
Bolin thought about that for a moment before he answered her "Yes, yes and no thanks." He smiled at her and walked towards Tenzin and some Air acolytes who were getting their luggage onto Oogi.
"Here are a few more bags. Do you need some help?" Bolin said with a smile and looked up at Tenzin, who was standing on Oogi. Tenzin looked at him and returned the smile "That would be great Bolin, thank you." He said and returned to the luggage. Asami came with her other bag and Mako came with his. Asami found Pema and started talking with her and Mako helped the kids onto Oogi even though he was aware that they could get onto the sky bison without his help.
Everything and everyone was soon ready to go and with a "Yip, yip." From Tenzin they were on their way to the Water Tripe.
The flight went by without too many problems, Meelo and Ikki had a lot of energy so they played with Bolin, Jinora was reading a book, Asami and Pema talked and played with Rohan. Tenzin was silent most of the time, probably because he enjoyed the flight since Meelo and Ikki were entertained by Bolin. And then there was Mako, he just sat by himself with a little smile on his lips. He remembered some of the best memories he had with Korra; when they fell asleep under the tree in the park, the first time she kissed him, when he told her that he loved her. He stopped and thought about that for a long time, it was the best thing he had ever done; told her how he felt. But it caused them a lot of arguments when they were a couple. So was it worth it? He didn't need to think about that for long. Yes. Yes it was worth it. He would never regret the time he had spent with Korra.
The only thing he regretted was that he didn't fight harder for her, because she deserved that; a man that would fight for her. So why didn't he do it? Only he was able to answer that, but he couldn't.
They landed in front of the palace and were greeted by Senna, Tonraq, Katara and Kya. Since they were Korra's guests they would stay there. "Hi everyone. It's so good to see all of you again." Senna said with a wide smile.
"Thanks Senna. It's good to see you too." Pema said after she got off of Oogi. She walked over to Senna and gave her a hug, with one arm since she had Rohan in her other.
And Tenzin walked towards his mother to give her a hug "We've missed you mother."
"I've missed you too." She said with a smile then she looked at the children and walked towards them, Tenzin then looked at his sister. "Kya." he said. She looked at him completely neutral "Tenzin." She said. She then smiled and gave him a hug. "Haven't missed me?"
"Of course I have. We all have." He said and gave her a smile in return.
Mako, Bolin and Asami stood behind Pema, they didn't really know what to do. They didn't know Korra's parents that well. "It's nice to see you as well." Someone suddenly said. The three young adults looked in the direction of the voice and saw Katara, who gave them a smile. Asami returned the smile as the first one and said "It's nice to see you too master Katare."
Katare gave all three of them a hug, which surprised them but none of them complained and hugged her back.
Pema broke the hug and looked at Senna and asked "How's it going here?"
"Oh everything's great. How was your trip?"
"Long." Pema answered with a chuckle.
"Then why don't we go inside and get some dinner? The guards can take care of your luggage." Tonraq said and started to walk inside.
The kids were excited and yelled "Yaaaay!" in union while each of them made an Air scooter and passed Tonraq with a gust of air.
"Slow down!" Pema yelled after them. Tonraq laughed and turned to Pema "Don't worry about it." he smiled at her, turned around and continued to walk.
When they got to the big dining hall Meelo, Ikki and Jinora were already sitting at the table and waited patiently. Senna had made sure that there was a lot of food, both for the Air benders, because they were vegetarians, and for the others. While they ate they talked about things that had happened in the City and in the Tribe.
The food was delicious. Bolin ate until he was about to burst and so did Meelo. Whenever Bolin did something, Meelo did the same thing and because of that he got a stomachache. He complained a lot about his stomach so Pema decided that the best thing for him was to sleep it off. She rose from her seat and took Meelo into her arms then she asked politely where they would be sleeping, Senna got up as well and said that she would show them their rooms. Before they exited the dining hall Pema said "You shouldn't eat that much. It would be a shame if you have to stay in bed when Korra comes home."
Tenzin, who sat with Rohan in his arms, then realized that he didn't know when Korra was arriving. He looked at Tonraq to ask him about it. "Do you know when Korra will be here?"
Tonraq looked at Tenzin and answered him with a smile. "Yes, we got a telegram from the ship yesterday; they'll be here around 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Tenzin could tell that Tonraq had missed his daughter very much. His eyes showed that he was much happier and more excited than he would let anyone know.
"8 o'clock?" Bolin asked "But Korra hate mornings. Anything before noon is too early for Korra." Tonraq laughed at that, "That's definitely my daughter you're talking about. Maybe it has changed," He thought about that for a moment before he spoke again "No. I doubt that. Korra loves to sleep, that will never change." then he laughed again and everybody else laughed along with him.
"I think you're right about that." Asami said when they stopped laughing.
"Well you must be tired after your trip and we have to get up early tomorrow morning, so I think it might be best if we all got some sleep." Katara said.
No one protested. Their trip had been tiring and everyone could use some sleep.
"Katara," Tonraq said and made her look at him "If you show Tenzin, the kids and Asami where Senna and Pema went, I'll show Bolin and Mako their rooms. Asami's room is next to Jinora and Ikki's" He reminded her and smiled. She returned the smile and said "I remember." then she asked her family and Asami to follow her.
"This way." Tonraq said to the brothers and walked out of the door and into the hallway, with Mako and Bolin right behind him. It didn't take long before they were in front of one of the rooms.
"Bolin, this is your room." Tonraq announced and opened the door to show him. His bag was already there.
"Sweet! Thanks Mr. Tonraq." Bolin said and walked into the room. Tonraq chuckled "You're welcome." He closed the door and walked a little further down the hallway to the next room. He opened the door and turned to Mako "And this is your room Mako."
Mako walked into the room and turned to look at Tonraq "Thank you Sir."
"You're welcome." He said with a little smile before he closed the door and walked away.
Mako walked towards his bed and found his bag on it. He took the bag and placed it on the floor then he unwrapped his scarf and laid it on a chair and did the same with his jacked, then he took of his shoes and sat them in front of the chair. He went to bed in a tank top and his pants, he was tired and was sure that he would fall asleep almost as soon as his head hit the pillow.
I hope it wasn't confusing. :)
I don't want to post something I'm not satisfied with, so I had to rewrite some of it a few times. And I have this idea that I need to write something for the following chapter before I post the one I'm done with. Maybe I'm just weird. xD
I am trying my hardest to put words to my thoughts, but sometimes it isn't easy, but your reviews make me want to continue.
I Love your reviews, keep them coming! You think I can get 15 before the third chapter? ;)
