Two years later
"Ok so do you know what you have to do?". Mako asked the young air bender.
"Don't worry I got this. When the match is over I air bend the box into you hand and than you do the biggest and most romantic proposal in the history of everything". Jinora said excitedly as she clapped her hands.
Mako smiled at her and walked over to the railing that over saw the platform where he had played ( and won ) many probending matches. He actually had one that night. Even though he had retired from the sport years ago to become a police officer himself, Korra and Bolin where asked if they could fill in for another team. None of them had done it for a while but they all agreed for old times sake. But tonight's match was going to be different. Tonight he planned to propose to Korra in front of the whole city.
"So are you nervous?". A voice asked him taking Mako out of his day dream.
"Defiantly I mean I know she loves me but does she love me enough to marry me?". He asked still staring out into the arena.
"Of course she does and I know you two will be happy and don't worry I won't mess this up for you. I'll get the ring to you". Jinora reassured him.
"I know because If you don't .One you will have ruined the best proposal ever and second you the one who will be swimming for it". Mako said as he pointed towards the water surrounding the platform. Jinora gave him a weary smile. He knew perfectly well the air bender couldn't swim.
Later that night
" And the Fire Ferrets win" The commentator said into the microphones that projected the announcement for the whole arena to hear.
"Yes that's what I'm talking about". Bolin said as he picked Korra up and swung her around.
"Who say's we're rusty ?". Korra asked none in particular as Bolin Put her down. She walk over to Mako and put her arms around his neck.
"Not bad Mr Hat trick". She said before kissing him sweetly on the lips.
"Not bad". He said as he untangled himself from Korra's loving arms.
He removed his helmet and whipped the sweat from his brow. Unknown to the Avatar and his brother Mako had just sent the signal Jinora had been waiting for. Up in the players box Lin, Iron, Asami ( who had been dating Bolin for over a year now and was practically Korra's sister) ,Jinora and her other siblings ( their parents where in the audience) where all waiting with batted breath.
"Ok your up Jinora". Lin said as she held out the box for her to air bend to the waiting winner and his ( hopefully) future bride.
"Don't worry sweetie you can do this. You just need to focus". Asami said as she patted Jinora on her shoulder.
"I can do this". She said to herself.
She stood in front of Lin and closed her eyes. After many deep breaths ( too many for her likening) Jinora put her arms out in front of her and sent a great gust of air at the box sending it all the way over to Mako and into his hand. A smile lit up her face when Jinora saw he had caught it.
"Great job Kiddo". Iron said.
"It's not over yet". Ikkie pointed out. The rest of the group turned their attention back to the platform.
Mako smiled when he felt the box in his hand. He opened the box and took a deep breath.
"Hey Korra". He said before getting down on one knee.
"What's ….".Korra began before she saw him on one knee.
"What are you doing?". She asked in a faint whisper almost impossible to be heard over the crowd.
"Wow bro nice setting". Bolin said when he turned to see his brother.
"Hold on folks is that what I think it is. Is Mako the pro bending champion on one knee in front of the Avatar?". The commentator announced causing the whole arena to go quite.
"Korra. I love you and I know that you're the only person for me. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. I always thought I would know my true love when I saw her but when I first saw you I thought you where crazy. I still do of course but that's not the point. Now I know it takes time to fall madly in love with someone and I know that now because I'm madly in love with you. You're not the only crazy person in this relationship because I'm crazy about you. So I'm going to stop and just come out with it. Avatar Korra will you take this idiot to be your husband?". He finished before smile at her.
"Your seriously doing this here in front of over half the city?". She asked, smiling like a kid at chrismas.
"I figured if we where in a public place you where less likely to say no". Mako explained.
"Well it doesn't change my answer yes". Korra said smiling at him.
"Really?". He asked currishly.
"Yes you idiot of course I will, I love you". She squealed as she jumped up and down on the spot.
Mako stood up and put the ring on her finger. It was white gold with a purple diamond to represent their two elements blended together to make one.
"Alright look at who has the coolest future sister in law ever". Bolin said as he hugged Korra.
"Ok Bolin hands off my fiancée go pop the question to Asami". Mako said as he pulled him off Korra.
"Right sorry bro so how come I didn't know about this who did know?". He asked crossing his arms( the earth bender didn't like not knowing things).
"Just a few people". Mako replied as he pointed to the players box where the others where waving and smiling, (Jinora had the biggest).
"Your crazy". Korra said.
"Only about you". Mako replied as he put his arms around her waist.
"You seriously want to marry me?". She asked quietly.
"I've never been more serious in my life and besides why wouldn't I?". He replied before kissing her passionate.
"Wow look that folks looks like Republic City is in for the wedding of the century". The commentator said before the whole arena exploded with the sound of cheers and applause but Mako and Korra where oblivious to it all.
