Here's the next chapter! Please review! My best friend and I really love them.

And all of this is true, even the tree. That is one of my favorite memories of us together. I was so glad I did that for him.


Mako POV

Finally it was Spring break! It took FOREVER to get here! I was looking forward to a relaxing break. Full of sleeping in and doing whatever I want.

I had just sat down, after throwing my backpack into a closet, and then of course the phone had to ring. I went to answer it.

"Hello?" I said.

"Hey Mako! Wanna go fishing?!" Korra asked me in an excited voice.

In the neighborhood we lived in, there was a lake. It was about a 5 minute bike ride and was perfect for fishing. There were catfish, bass, blueGill, otherwise known as sun fish, eels, and snapping turtles. And it was all pretty easy to catch. Well... Except for the the turtles, they would just snap your line and you would loose your hook. They were really annoying.

"I guess, good way to start off our Spring break." I said.

"Okay! Meet me in the cul-de-sac!"

"Ok" I said and then hung up. I ran into the garage and got my fishing rod. It was hanging next to the tennis rackets. It was nothing special, but it had brought me many hours of joy at the lake. I went into the fridge in the garage and took out the hotdogs. They were the best bait for the fish. They loved them, and they always took the bait. It made fishing easier. I got out my tiny tackle box and put it in my backpack from like 4th grade. I put the hotdogs in it and then a towel, she HATED touching fish. I didn't mind but a towel never hurt to bring.

"Mako!" I heard my mother call my name.

"Yeah?"

"Are you going fishing?" She asked coming into view in the door.

"Yup." I said.

"Okay, well we don't have anything for dinner I can't go shopping until tomorrow. Whatever you catch please bring home and I'll cook it for dinner." She said, handing me a few plastic bags.

I sighed and took them, then I stuffed them in my backpack. I said bye to my mom and then I rode to Korra's house.

I met up with her in the cul-de-sac. She was waiting in her garage with her own rod.

"Took you long enough." She said getting on her bike.

I rolled my eyes, "Come on." I said biking out of the cul-de-sac. She was the very last house and the cul-de-sac was short. She followed.

"So, can you believe Spring break is already here?" She asked, peddling beside me.

"It took way too long to get here." I said.

"Yeah, I guess" She mumbled.

I sped up and she groaned, "Mako! Slow down!" She whined.

I looked behind me and smirked, "Catch up."

She pouted and then sped up, passing me. I chuckled and caught up to her, then we slowed down and got to the lake. We were the only ones there, which was surprising, Usually it was packed. And it wasn't that big, it was about a quarter of a mile long and about a few hundred feet wide. Nothing special, but it was fun to fish at. And there were houses along the sides and the other end, so this end was the only place you could fish publicly.

"Awesome! We're the first ones here!" She said hopping off her bike and setting it against the railing. I put mine next to Korra's and walked down to the water.

The lake was really pretty, there was a fountain in the middle. And it was really clean, it reflected the sky in such a beautiful way. And there was a little hill that went down to it, the sidewalk was at the top and the road was by the sidewalk. There were rocks in the hill that acted as seats. I sat down and looked at Korra, she was staring at the lake too. I smiled, I never really realized how beautiful she was. With her long brown hair and bright blue eyes, mesmerized by the lake.

She looked at me and I turned away, blushing. She didn't seem to notice though.

"It's really beautiful out today." Korra said putting some bait on her hook.

Not as beautiful as you. That's what I wanted to say, but I didn't have the guts. "It really is. Perfect day for fishing. Not too cold, not too hot. Perfect temperature. And the lake looks great today, the fountain is actually working."

She laughed a little, "Yeah, it only works like, what? Maybe once every few weeks!" She said, casting her rod. "Aren't you going to fish?"

"Oh yeah!" I had totally forgotten about fishing when I was looking at her. I put some bait on my hook and cast it.

"Watch it!" Korra yelled when my hook got close to her head.

"Korra, I'm not going to hurt you." I said looking at my bobber.

Korra POV

As I was watching Mako's bobber, I averted my gaze from it to him. He was staring intently at it and I chuckled. But as I was staring, I couldn't help but think about how cute he looked. He was… hot. He was wearing his usual shirt, it was grey and had a picture of a deer with an empty beer bottle on its antlers and it said "Party Animal." The sun was reflecting off the lake and it was shining in his face. His black hair was shining and his eyes were glistening. I wasn't going to lie, he was hot. He was about a half a foot taller than me. He looked at me and smiled.

Oh that smile.

It made girls swoon, but it never really showed that often. Honestly, I was one of the only people to make him smile. He had such a hard home life that it took away from his happiness. And I was the only one he talked to about his home life. I loved Mako, I really did. But it was just a friend love, he was like a brother to me. But lately, I have felt something more… I've been looking at him differently, and I can tell he is looking at me differently too.

I smiled back, then I snapped my head to my bobber when I felt weight on my rod. I started to reel it in, and let me tell you, this fish was heavy!

"Stupid fish! Just let me catch you!" I yelled in aggravation.

Mako laughed and I glared at him, then I got it in.

"It's a bass!" I said excitedly, pulling it up onto the ground.

"Awesome job Korra!" Mako praised me.

I smiled, I did do a good job. I looked at him and he was looking at me expectantly.

"What?" I asked.

He smirked, "Well aren't you going to get the hook off of it?"

I groaned, "No Mako! You do it! Please?"

He laughed and shook his head, 'no.'

I gave him my famous pout and puppy dog eyes, "Please?"

When I did that, his face softened and another emotion came over his face. I didn't know what though… It quickly went away and he nodded. "Fine."

"Yay! Thanks Mako!" I said.

He picked it up and then removed the hook from it's mouth. Or at least he tried too…

"Damnit Korra. Your asshole fish swallowed the hook! And I don't have the tools for that." He said looking in the fishes mouth.

"How do you know?" I asked looking at the fish.

"I can see it in his throat." He said to me, acting like I was stupid.

"Then reach down there and get it." I said.

He looked at me and frowned, "Easy for you to say."

I rolled my eyes, "Man up."

Mako POV

I groaned, she just insulted my manhood. Now I had to do it.

"Fine." I snapped.

She smiled with a cocky look and I rolled my eyes. I looked back down the fish's throat and stuck my hand in it. I couldn't see anything because my hand took up all the room. I felt my way around and then felt the hook. I tried to get it out but it wouldn't budge.

"Come on you fish! Give me the damn hook!" I said tugging at it.

Korra laughed and I looked at her, she was video taping this on her Iphone.

"Seriously Korra?!" I asked.

She nodded, looking at me through her phone.

I looked back down at the fish who seemed to be smirking at me. I narrowed my eyes and ripped the hook out.

"Ah-hah! Got it!" I yelled pulling it up.

"Good job! You managed to RIP A HOLE IN THE FISH'S THROAT!" She yelled at me.

"Thank you."

She rolled her eyes. "It will die if we throw it out."

"Throw it out? Dude, I'm eating him for dinner." I said.

"Ewwwww! That's disgusting!" She said making a disgusted face.

"Yum. It tastes like chicken."

"Mako! This is a catch and release pond!" She exclaimed.

"Oh Korra, I didn't know you were such a law abiding citizen."

She rolled her eyes, "Whatever. And how do you know it isn't a girl? You said you were eating 'him' for dinner. SHE COULD BE PREGNANT!"

"Dessert."

"Oh that is so gross." She said. "Are you really going to eat it?"

"Yup. It's pretty big, you could have some too." I said jokingly.

"Okay. No. I'm going to stick with my chicken." She said casting her rod again.

"Your loss."

"Why are you eating it for dinner?" She asked.

Oh shit, here comes the truth.

"It's free."

"Well okay then." She said looking back out at the lake.

I looked at her again and I realized that I had feelings for her. Like, more than a friend.

I think I was in love with Korra
