Day 4 - Phone Call

Summary: Whenever Tenzin misses Lin, he calls (K+).

Lin was sitting on her couch, she was anxious. The calendar on her table was marked on today's date. "It's going to happen soon," she mumbled.

Tenzin walked to his office. He sat in front of his desk and took a glance at the clock. It was 9pm, Tuesday. Just one more thing to do before he flew home. He smiled and picked up the phone.

"It has to be today," Lin said, looking at her calendar. All the red marks on her calendar was on a single line. All the red marks were on Tuesday. 'He loves Tuesday,' she thought.

"What day do you like best, Lin?"Tenzin chirped.

"It's today! I love Saturday. I have more time to play and I get to practice earthbending with mom," Lin replied, bending a rock into the shape of a smile.

"I love Tuesday," Tenzin said, smiling. "I get to study poetry in school and I get to see you," he looked at Lin in the eyes.

The seven-year-old replied, "I go to the Air Temple Island every Saturday too. Why not then?" she asked.

Tenzin stuttered, "I- you look prettier in your school uniform and uh- a ribbon in your hair." He blushed.

Lin had to punch him hard to release her exploding spirit.

*ring* *ring*

Lin got up from her couch, almost knocking off her flower vase in the sudden action, and paced to the telephone.

"Hello? This is Lin Beifong," she tried to answer as calm and nonchalant as possible.

The caller didn't answer. 'As usual,' she thought. 'I'm gonna kill him.' She started to ramble angrily.

Far away, a monk is smiling at his desk. 'Hi, Lin. I've missed your voice,' he thought. He tried not to burst out laughing as his friend started to ramble incoherently, something about laws?

"I'm going to miss you," Tenzin hugged his girlfriend. He was going with his father to visit air acolytes around the world.

"Me too," Lin tried to pull away but Tenzin tightened his grip. "Silly," she laughed. "If you miss me, call me."

The monk released his hug. "Of course, I'll call you, pretty!" He said when he jumped on Appa's back.

Tenzin flushed as his friend started cursing on the phone. Spirits, she was even more intimidating when she gets angry.

"I could get you arrested for doing prank calls at me, Baldy," Lin finally said. Tenzin froze, but he didn't say a single word.

He could hear the woman sighed. "Happy Birthday, Tenzin. I know it's you. I miss you."

"Lin," Tenzin called but the woman had already hung up.

Tenzin smiled and walked out of his office. Meanwhile, the chief of police was sipping her tea convincing herself she was talking to a certain bald man, not a criminal nor a fanatic gossip searcher.

"Whatever," she shrugged.

I figured out there was no re-dial and tracking devices in that era. I kinda like this one, and I hope you do too. (:
