(Korra)
I turn on my side to turn off the alarm and see Asami stirring awake.
"You got morning duty" she says
"Well goodmornig to you too" I say while getting out of bed
She mumbles something else that I can't understand and wraps the rest of the covers around her
I head into Yue's room first
"Wake up Yue, time to get up"
"I am up" she says while unplugging her charger from her phone
I head to Jet's room and he is still asleep aww look at him cuddling with his stuff momo
"Hey Buddy time to get ready for school" he yawns
"I don't want to go today"
"I know but, you need to learn about what 5 year olds learn about"
He then get out of bed and dramatically falls to the ground
This is going to take all day.
I just got out of the shower and I look over and Asami is still asleep. How can she sleep through all this noise especially with Yue blasting her music and Jet loud random yelling?
I want to look professional but not too professional like, I have a job but I was forced to come do my duty and take part in my son's life.
So I settle on wearing a plain white collar shirt and some khaki shorts.
I rush down stairs to make breakfast and look at the time on my phone and notice that I won't have time to make pancakes, so eggs and toast it is today.
The house phone rings and I turn the stove on low and rush to it.
"Hello Sato's Residents"
"Good Morning Korra, it's your Mother" I bring the phone over to the kitchen
"Good Morning Mom, what's wrong"?
"Nothing Sweetie, just wanted to call my daughter and see how it's going"
"It's Fine, I'm actually making breakfast for the kids"
"Awww I miss them so much, can't wait to see them this this Saturday"
"Haha they are excited about seeing their Grandparents too, and please Mom I beg you don't go out buying Jet and Yue things, they already have a lot"
"Oh hush, Grandparents are supposed to spoil their grandchildren"
"Yeah, but not to the point where they still have Christmas Gifts, they still haven't opened yet"
The toast pop out of the toaster and I put it on the plates
"Okay Sweetie, Your Father and I will take it easy"
"THANK YOU, THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING, I have to go now call you later Love you"
"Love you too, and send my love around the house"
"Will do"
Yue and Jet both come into the kitchen
"Breakfast is served"
We park in the schools's teacher parking lot and I get out the car to unbuckle Jet
"We have enough time to stop by your classroom Yue" she then turns to me and takes out her headphones
"NO WAY NOT HAPPENING"
I laugh "No I really want to see who's in your class especially Aang"
"Yue and Aang sitting in the dress K.F.F. I. P.G"
"It's K.i.s.s.i.n.g and we are sitting in a tree you dork" Yue yells back
"Hey no name calling Yue, now apologize" she then crosses her arm
"Do you want your phone taken away"? I ask she groans
"Fine, I'm sorry Jet"
"Good now hug him"
"WHAT I SAID I WAS SORRY"!
I give Yue the I'm serious look. She then slowly walks toward Jet and pats his back
"Awww isn't that sweet"
We walk toward the school and I see a flyer hung up on the fence talking about try outs.
"Do you want to play a sport Yue you know I played soccer in my high school years"
"Ewww gross, I hate sports who wants to get sweaty" I smile at my daughter's girly girly ways
"I want to play soccer" Jet says
"Do you"? I ask excitedly
"Yeah, I like playing it during recess"
"Wow Jet, what position"? he looks at me confused
I rephrase sometimes I forget he's only 5 "What do you do when you play soccer during recess"?
"Oh I stand in the net thingy"
Aww my baby is a goalie, I'm so proud
"Well if you want to play soccer, I think you should try out" we walk into the school and Yue turns and looks at me
"No need to walk me to class, I will manage" a group of kids wave at her and she looks at me nervously I look at the group closely and see that it's the same boy from the video chat yesterday
I smile "Is that Aang?" Yue looks at me with wide eyes and tries to push me away
"Go Mommy, you're going to embarrass me again"
I laugh "I just want to say hi"
"Nooooo, you need to take Jet to the office remember" I look at the clock
"I have time, one chat won't make me late"
"Mommy I have to use the potty" I frown
"Awww Jet, you couldn't wait until after I ruin your sister's social life" he shakes his head no
"I have to go now !" Yue kneels down and hugs Jet
"I love you so much brother"
Asami
I pull up beside Opal in the Toy R Us parking lot. She gets out the car first and I can't help but smile.
"Awww look at how big you gotten" she laughs and rubs her belly
"Yeah, you know Bolin been cooking a lot of food for me I guess I let myself go"
"No you look great thanks, for coming with me today"
"No problem, gives me a perfect opportunity to point out what I want for my baby shower"
"Haha I love it"
We walk into the store and I get a basket "I really wish they made bigger baskets" I say while pushing the cart
"Are you serious, are you really going to buy up the whole store for Yue?" Opal asks in shock
"A course not it's just, complicated"
"Let me guess…Korra and you are having a competition on who can get Yue the best gift"
"Nooooo….that's not…okay you caught me, it's just Korra won 3 times in a row and I'm tired of losing"
"Haha her giving the best gift doesn't mean the kids love her more" I pick up a globe
"I know that, it's just, you don't understand she gives me this look when the kids hug her"
Opal laughs "What kind of look"?
"I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT! It's a cross between evil and sweetness, I can't put it in words"
"I think you're being paranoid"
"I'm not she gives me a look, I would tell you to watch for it but she's not going to be giving that look this year"
Opal rolls her eyes "Well If you want to impress Yue I think buying from a toy store won't be the best idea"
"Then where should I go?"
"Umm well I'm thinking more on the memory side"
"Like what?"
"Does Yue have a particle band or artist she likes"?
I don't even have to think about it because the posters all over her wall is a dead giveaway but I forget his name hes a teen singer. I put my hands to my head to try to think about it
"He sing that song with stitches in it, it's always on the radio, the video is of him getting beating up by an invisible person I don't know"
Opal pulls out her phone and types in my description then she turns the phone over to show me a picture of him.
"Yes that's him, that's the boy on her wall"
His name is Shawn Metal and he's a 17 year old YouTube sensation" she says while reading me his bio
"But she already has a CD of him and a digital copy, so how can I use him, I mean I cant buy her tickets because she told me it's sold out?"
Opal smirks "Why don't you have him perform live?"
I laugh "No way he probably lives far and I doubt he would show up to a 13 year old girl's birthday party"
"Well it won't hurt to asks because he's going to be in Republic City on Friday, and I'm sure he will still be in town Saturday"
Korra
Jet and I are setting in the office waiting for our name to be called. Private school always looked like a jail to me to be honest. We been waiting here for about 45 minutes
the secretary walks towards us and I get up alongside with Jet "Yes?"
"The Principal would like to see you now" I thank her and grab Jet's hand
But he doesn't move "I'm scarred Mommy" I kneel down beside him
"Why?"
"I don't want to get in trouble and only bad kids talk to the principal" he looks like he's about to cry so I pull him into a hug
"No sweetie, you aren't going to be in trouble" he looks at me like he doesn't believe me
I reach into my pocket for my badge "What's this"? I ask him
"Your police badge"
"That's right, and what do police do?"
"Protect and serve"
"That's right it's my job to protect you, so I'm not going to let anything bad happen to you okay" he nods
"You can hold my badge and when you feel scarred just flash it open
"Like they do in tv? " I laugh because not all cops flip their badge fast but if that gets him to not worry let him do as he please
I grab his hand and we want through the door and I see two women sitting at a table with a smile
"Hello I'm Mrs. Sato" I extend my hand out to allow them to shake it
"Welcome glad you could make, sorry about the long wait" I nod
"It's totally fine, glad I didn't go to work today because I would had been extra late"
"Yes, I apologize again, I'm Principal Izumi"
"Nice to meet you, and I already know Ms. Arnold" she nods and waves
"Is your wife coming today" she asks
"Ummm about that…" Before I could answer the office door opens and my wife steps through the door
"Sorry that's I'm late"
"Mom" Jet says while getting up and giving her a hug
I told her not to come
Asami
Korra gets up "Honey glad you could make it" she says giving me a why are you here look I just smile
"Yes, glad I could too, did you all start yet?" I ask
Jet's teacher looks flustered "We were running a bit late so you made perfect timing" I take the empty seat beside my wife and put Jet on my lap
"Don't you think it would be best to have Jet wait outside?" Ms. Arnold asks
"No, this is about him and he deserves to be here" I answer back
"Well I understand that, but he might not understand why we're having this conversation" she replies back
"Yet he can understand enough to take a test that will reflect his not fully developed brain" I say back sternly looking straight at Ms. Arnold
Korra clear her throat "Well to avoid any problems maybe we can have Jet answer some question then he can go back to class with his friends"
"I agree" the Principal says
Why does Korra have to be such a sell out?
"I'm okay with that, are you " Ms. Arnold asks me with a smirk
"A course, just want this to be as organized as possible" I respond back
"Great let's start off on why we called this meeting" The Principal states while taking out her notepad
Ms. Arnold clears her throat "You see Jet Sato"
"That's me" Jet yells out while winking
"Honey be respectful she's talking" he nods
"Sorry excuse me" Ms. Arnold nods
"It's fine Jet, it started with the Standard of Learning Test that all the students who attend this private school must take"
Korra and the Principal both nod I try not to grow impatience
"And this conference is based on the reaction of the score, others feel that the test was unnecessary"
This woman is putting words in my mouth
"Excuse me but I never said it was unnecessary I just said it was foolish to separate my child from his peers all because of a test he took, which he admitted on not taking seriously"
The Principal looks at Jet and says in a calm voice "Did you take the test seriously Jet?" she asks with a smile
Jet then out of nowhere flips Korra's badge and Korra answer for him
"Jet told me last night, he just clicked on random answer to get done early"
"Is that true" The Principal asks again
Jet then nods
"Well case closed, he can just retake it" Ms. Arnold says
I can't believe this woman just the other day she told me Jet couldn't retake it until next year. Now because the Principal's here and my wife she wants to be all happy happy joy joy. No I refuse to have this go unnoticed
"No he's not taking it again" I say
"WHAT"? Korra and Ms. Arnold say in unison
"Jet can you wait in the hall" I ask he nods and gets up and walks out the door. I wait for it to close
"He's not going to retake the test, because he shouldn't have to"
"And why is that" Ms. Arnold asks
"Because you insulted my son's abilities"
"Mrs. Sato, I did not"
"Yes, you did because you assumed he wasn't smart enough, tell me how long have you been teaching"?
I can tell she getting defensive "For 12 years longer than you have" Ms. Arnold answer back
"Okay 12 years, how long does this test take?" I ask her I don't even care that Korra looking at me because I need to put this woman in her place
"It depends on the student"
"Well estimate from your 12 years of teaching how long does it take for an average student to complete this test?"
"Well probably four hours to the max"
"How much time did my son take on this four hour test?"
"Asami, lets not get into math" Korra says while squeezing my hand
"Well why not, our son was judge on his math score so she shouldn't have a hard time answering this question especially when she been teaching for 12 years"
Ms. Arnold crosses her arm "He finished in a hour and a half "
I gasp
"So you're telling me, a teacher who been teaching for 12 years couldn't automatically think 'Hey maybe he just guessed on these answer, because he finished too early ?"
"Yes, I thought that at first but Yue is known to finish the test early so I thought Jet would be the same"
You know this woman messed up if she is comparing Yue and Jet together and biological how could that statement even make sense?
"Is this what this school is all about? Comparing children? because that's all I got out of this while conference, you just compared our children now you're comparing my son to his score and trying to put him in a different class, I'm not going to let you compare him anymore he's not just a static!"
I realize that I may had raised my voice at the statics part and Ms. Arnold's face turns red.
Korra turns and faces the Principal which I totally forgot was there
"Can I suggest something Principal Izumi?" she nods
"Do you mind if you and I just have a conversation about this matter, because as you can tell there is a lot of tension"
I can't believe Korra just basically said I was the problem. I'm sticking up for our child and she should be doing the same
I get up before the Principal even answers "You know what maybe I should leave"
"Asami" Korra says while getting up I give her a fake smile
"It's fine honey, I will see you at home" I give her a kiss and walk out the room
Korra
I didn't mean to upset Asami, but I thought it would be best for just the Principal and I to talk because Asami had a lot of emotion and I was afraid she would say something she would regret. She had every right to question Ms. Arnold even I know her logic was foolish but the purpose of today was to find a solution not to put the blame on someone.
45 min later
I get to the parking lot and see Asami sitting in her car. She stayed all this time? I thought she would be at home. I start approaching her car and she points to the empty passenger seat and she has on her sunglasses so I can't tell how angry she is.
I get to her car and she unlocks it, out of all days why couldn't I have brought my weapon or any type of protection. I open the car door and slide into the seat.
"Hey Honey, how long have you been waiting here?" she takes off her glasses and looks at me with rage
"Don't Honey me, How dare you throw me under the bus like that?"
"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?""
"You know what I'm talking about" she then starts mocking me "How about we have Jet stay here half the time then he goes back to class"
Now she is overreacting "I did not sound like that, and I was just avoiding confrontation"
"NO KORRA YOU WERE TRYING TO BE THE GOOD COP"
"I am the good cop!" she looks at me with wide eyes not getting the joke
"This is what I'm talking about Korra, you can never take anything seriously, it's all fun and games with you"
She did not just flip this on me
"Don't you go there Asami and try to say that I wasn't on your side, I was completely supporting you, and this is the reason why I didn't want you to come"
"Now you finally said it, tell me why Korra, tell me why you didn't want me to go?"
"Because you're so protective"
"I'm a parent that's my job and yours too, you can protect others such as stranger on the street but can't protect your own family, I felt alone in there Korra like I was fighting the woman by myself, and I shouldn't have to feel that way because you were there" a tear drops from her face
And I can understand why she's emotional but I can also see how I'm right
"Sami don't cry, I'm sorry that you felt alone, that wasn't my intention it's just you tend to put your emotions before the situation and I know you can't help that, you know from what we been though all these years, but you have to separate yourself from sensitive topic like these and think
Yes Ms. Arnold doesn't know what she is doing but that's not your job to call her out, did you hear yourself in there you were attacking her job and judgement, to others you came out quite arrogant like you thought you were better than her, which to me I know wasn't the case. You were just trying to protect Jet but so was I
I'm not going to sit here and say this was all my fault and that you were right, our job as parents is to do what's best for our children, and what I thought was best was to go in today and find a solution for Jet and see how he can accomplish his goal"
I grab her hand
"Sami, I always will put my family first, don't you ever think otherwise, I want you to know everything I do is for you all and I'm going to be honest and say today you were a tad and I mean a tad bit wrong"
Asami finally looks at me and give me a small smile "I was a tad bit wrong"? I smile back
"Yeah, just a tad bit" she wipes her eyes
"I guess you do have a point, maybe I could had handle the situation a little better"
"Yeah you could have, but that's history and thinking about the future we came up with a solution"
"Really, what?"
"Well at first I was just going to have Jet retake the test, but thanks to your argument I declined that"
"You did?" I laugh
"Yeah, but don't get too happy now, he will have to stay after for tutoring twice a week in order for him to stay in his original classes"
She nods "That's understandable"
"But there's one catch?" she looks at me anxious "What?"
"You're banned from the school grounds"
"I'm what?" I burst out laughing
"I'm kidding there is no catch" Asami punches my shoulder
"Stop you scarred me"
"Hahaha you scarred Ms. Arnold with your HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TEACHING?"
"12 Years" Asami mocks while we both laugh
"You know Jet thinking about doing soccer"
Asami rolls her eyes and leans her head back against her chair
"Ohhhh no, Jet playing a sport it's going to be like watching you all over again"
I look over at her laughing "And that's a bad thing?" i tease
"Yes, I remember when I went to your soccer game, you were flirting more than you were playing"
I gasp "I was not, you must have been seeing things"
"Trust me, your eyes were everywhere but the goal"
"That's right, my eyes were on you the whole time" I say while touching her cheek
"You're going to be such a hot soccer Mom" her eyes go wide and I laugh and she unlocks the car door
"GET OUT!"
Now for those who didn't like my last story my apologizes, everyone has a few hits and misses but I hope this story will be a hit because it's not as serious as my past stories.
Also forgot to tell you for Halloween I cosplayed as Korra and my outift was based on the outfit she wore when she first fought Kuvira
