The shining lights of the Republic City airfield beamed brightly as the jet descended towards the runway. "We're here." Asami said as she watched through the window. Korra twisted her neck left and right which created several popping noises and made Asami cringe. "Do you have to do that."

Korra looked back at her puzzled. "What do you mean? I was just stretching. Don't tell me you're one of those people who thinks it's unhealthy."

"No, but I will admit it is not the most appealing thing to listen to."

Korra slightly blushed in embarrassment. "So I guess that's a bit of a turn off for you isn't it?"

Asami leaned over, kissed Korra on the cheek, and whispered in her ear "Nothing about you is a turn off to me."

The plane finally landed, Korra and Asami say farewell to the pilot, and the two of them slowly leave down the exit stairs. They walk several yards on their way to the road holding hands, until they spot two familiar faces dashing towards them; a goofy looking earthbender followed close behind by his airbending girlfriend. The two girls separate their hands before their friends catch sight of them. "Bolin, Opal what are you doing here" Asami called out.

Opal approached first with a happy grin on her face. "I spotted your plane coming in, and we were close by so..."

"Why didn't you guys tell us you were leaving?" Bolin jumped in front of Opal wide eyed, seemingly distraught, and nose to nose with Korra.

Slightly startled, Korra stumbled backwards away from him. "Sorry Bolin, it was kind of a spontaneous thing."

"Well did you ever consider that I might want to go." He whined while making the face of a spoiled child.

Asami stepped forward in defense of her girlfriend. "What Korra means is that it was supposed to be a girls only vacation."

Bolin then grabbed his girlfriend by the arm, and pulled her in front of him. "Why didn't you take Opal then? "She's a girl."

Opal quickly turned to him, and protested. "Bolin, it's ok they just wanted to take some time for themselves." She then looked back to Korra and Asami. "You guys must be starving, why don't we go get something to eat."

"Sounds great."

The four went to a quaint restaurant in the fire nation district. It was a small mom and pop shop, and the atmosphere within it was so calming to the girls after a long flight. Korra and Asami sat at one side of a table while Opal and Bolin sat on the other. After receiving their orders and taking a minute to enjoy their food, Bolin leaned over the table and said "So tell us. What all did you two do on vacation?"

Korra enjoyed retelling the story to others; it allowed her to relive the brief euphoria she felt with the loving girl sitting beside her. "Well we explored the spirit world for awhile. I showed Asami all the cool things that were there. In fact we came across this really cool hot spring where we..." Asami backhanded Korra's thigh as she was about to give away something very intimate. "...took a swim...to solely relax...and nothing else." Asami mentally facepalmed at how awkward her girlfriend's rewording of the incident sounded.

However, Bolin remained clueless to the odd explanation and didn't notice a thing. "That sounds awesome. What did you do after visiting the spirit world?"

Asami decided to take the lead in the story this time. "Well after we spent a week there we returned to Republic City for about an hour before taking off in one of my personal jets to the South Pole."

"Why'd you go there" Opal asked curious at the choice of location.

Bolin put a hand on her shoulder, and answered the question for them. "Come on Opal. Korra hasn't seen her parents in several months. She probably really missed them, and begged Asami to take her there." He then turned back to Korra as if he solved a great puzzle. "So were they happy to see you?"

Asami grasped ahold of Korra's hand underneath the table, She could feel how shaky it was, so she started rubbing the back of it with her thumb. This eased Korra's tension slightly. Asami spoke again. "We didn't get a chance to see her parents. We actually visited Katara and Tenzin's sister Kya." Her response was subtle, but it seemed to satisfy her intrigued friends.

At that moment a waiter walking nearby accidentally slipped on some loose ice cubes in the floor and accidentally spilt a steaming bowl of soup right in Bolin's lap. He jumped up in pain desperately trying pat the searing broth off of him. "Ahh hot, hot."

Opal jumped out of her seat as well and tried to check on him. "Babe are you ok?"

He waved her off with a small tear in his eye. "Yea I'm fine, but I think I'm gonna go to the bathroom and clean up."

When Bolin ran off, Opal sat down again and the table was put into an awkward silence for several moments. That was until Opal grew a devious smile, leaned forward, and whispered "So you two huh?"

Asami choked on her water, and Korra nearly fell out of her seat. "How did you?"

Opal glanced back and forth between them with a smug grin, and then pointed directly at Korra. "The way you kept looking looking at Asami, it's the same way Bolin looks at me. Also, even though you tried to be sneaky, I did spot you guys holding hands as you got off the plane."

Giving a deep sigh Asami pinched the bridge of her nose. "We seriously need to find a way to be more conspicuous."

Continuing to question them, Opal leaned in further. "Well tell me, how serious are you guys now?" Both woman uncomfortablyk looked at each other, neither sure how to answer. Opal quickly took notice of their lack of comfort. "What? What's the matter?"

Asami took one last look at Korra and said "I'm sorry Opal it's just unnerving to see you acting so cavalier after finding out about us."

Confused at the response Opal asked "Why wouldn't I be?"

Asami blushed as she realized she might have to explain. "Cause Korra and I are both...you know."

"What? Two lovely individuals who obviously deeply care about one another." Right as she said that, Opal gave them both a wink.

A bright gleam of joy built up inside Korra. It felt good to know one of her closest friends was on her side. "Thank you."

"No problem, so when are you planning on telling everybody?" Korra didn't respond to this, and Asami showed a reluctance to say anything either. Opal noticed this, and her happy grin turned into an uncomfortable frown. "You weren't planning on it were you?"

Korra waved her arms in defense. "No we are...eventually."

"Why are you so afraid?" Opal was now getting semi-irritated at the back and forth she was receiving. "We're your friends, you should be able to trust us."

At that moment Asami had enough of the constant badgering and snapped back at her. "Opal I'm sorry to disappoint you, but this isn't the easiest thing for us to talk about. We are just now becoming open about our feelings to each other let alone others.. So forgive us for hesitating to yell out our personal business to everybody we know. We don't know how their going to react, and If I've learned anything in the last few days it's that not everyone is as accepting as you hope they would be.""

"Accepting of what?" Bolin had now returned to the table, and had heard the latter part of what Asami said. The young CEO angrily stood from her seat and rushed out of the restaurant. Bolin looked back down at Opal and asked. "Did I miss something?"

Korra quickly chased after Asami, and as she made it out the front door she spotted her girlfriend several paces ahead. Korra didn't understand what was going through Asami's head, but she knew she needed to find out. As she continued to tail her, Korra called out to Asami. "What was that about? Did Opal's questions irritate you that much?"

Asami kept walking while her head held low. "Korra please, not right now."

Finally Korra caught up with the girl, and grabbed her by the arm. "Asami don't do this. Something is obviously bothering you. It's not like you to just snap at someone like that, especially when they're a close friend."

Suddenly Asami collapsed to her knees, and looked up at Korra with tears in her eyes. "I was shopping, something I've done a thousand times with no incident, but today was different. That man this morning, that complete stranger insulted me. He found out one detail about my personal life, and immediately attacked me." She then peered down at her hands, and stared at the emptiness of her open palms. "But none of that really matters. I've dealt with opinionated jerks before, and I developed tough skin for that kind of stuff. But what upset me was that this man essentially attacked you as well. As my girlfriend all those hateful comments were also aimed at you. And how did I defend you?" A quiet thump was heard as Asami beat her right fist to the ground. "By running away and crying in the snow." Tears were streaming down her face, and falling near her now aching fisting. "After what happened with the red lotus, I promised myself that I would always be there to protect you. Then when it came time to do just that, I choked."

"So basically you're telling me that you reacted the same way I did after my parents said hurtful things to me." That statement halted Asami's fierce sobs, and she looked up at the calm woman standing behind her. "The only difference was you were there with me, and I left you behind with them. If anything I wasn't standing up for you. I was dealing with a feeling in the pit of my stomach that I had never felt before, and so were you." Korra then made a devilish smirk and started to speak in a very noble tone. "Also don't you dare question if you were there for me or not. When I was on my knees in the middle of a blizzard crying my eyes out, a beautiful woman atop a white chariot came to me rescue."

"Korra that was.. "

Completely ignoring Asami, Korra continued on. "When I was distraught from all the woes that had been thrust me, this breathtaking maiden let me lay upon her lap until I drifted off to sleep."

Asami began to break a smile and giggle at the ridiculousness of her girlfriend. "Why are you talking like that."

Next Korra dropped to her knees to get eye level with Asami, then grasped both of her hands "And when I was at my lowest point she did everything in her power to try to cheer me up; including kicking my ass in a sparring match."

"I took no pleaser in that." Asami then received doubtful glare from Korra. "Ok maybe it was a little satisfying to knock the avatar down a peg."

Wrapping her arms loosely around Asami's neck Korra whispered "As long as I'm still good enough for you."

"Always." The two lean in and share yet another passionate kiss. The girls were so caught up in their flirtatious banter that they forgot where they were and who who might be watchingFIf.

"Whoa." The it. Cebu hb h N broke their embrace to see Bolin standing a couple feet away staring in awe.

"Surprise" Korra shyly spouted.

He stood still in silence for a few seconds, which only heightened both the awkwardness and the embarrassment that the girls felt. However, he then jumped high into the air and began to cheering wildly. "I knew it. This is so great. It makes so much sense. I can't believe how so amazingly awesome this is. My two favorite gal pals are together now."

"Well we're happy you're happy Bolin." Asami uncomfortably joked as she and Korra got back to their feet.

Opal then walked up behind Bolin and once again winked at the girls. Bolin was quite exuberant, his whole body was shaking in joy. "Is this why you were acting so weird?"

Not certain of the right way to answer Asami simply shrugged and said "Kind of."

"Oh I'm so excited. I can't wait to tell Mako."

That's when Korra stepped up, and interrupted one of her closest friends. "Ugh Bolin, we appreciate your enthusiasm, but this is something we'd like to tell people ourselves."

"Oh ok. I feel you." He then made a turning key gesture on his lips. "Mum's the word."

Korra giggled. She really had missed Bolin's wacky personality while she was away. "Thank you. Now if you'll excuse us, it's getting late and the two of us had a long flight. So in other words we're gonna go home."

"Alright we'll see you love birds later." Both Bolin and Opal waved goodbye as Korra and Asami began to walk away.

After many minutes of traveling down the streets Asami gradually turned visibly timid. She didn't know if it was right for her to ask, but Asami still did not feel emotionally hundred percent. "Korra would you care if I stayed with you tonight at the temple? I'm not quite ready to be by myself just yet."

The uncertain request made Korra chuckle. "What made you think I was ready for you to leave my side just yet." Asami's cheeks burned a bright pink from the kind sentiment. Korra then grabbed ahold of her hand and tugged her along. "Come with me, I'm sure Tenzin won't mind." Suddenly a realization came over Korra. "I'm gonna have to talk to Tenzin."
