I did promise a longer one this time. So here you are

The days past and the plans began to form. Mako and Bolin would meet Korra outside the club at exactly 8 o'clock. The guys were happy that they at least brought their nice-ish clothes with them when they moved to the island. Awhile back Asami had bought them hats that were almost identical. Smooth, black fedoras, one with a green band around it and one with red. Red, the color of passion, of love.

Korra had nothing to wear for "clubbing". Asami was excited when Korra had asked. "Korra I think I have some dresses that would look fantastic on you!" She had almost sung. The non-bender would pick one for Korra before going to her friend's. It was just luck that Korra and Asami were very similar in dress sizes and the same shoe size. The day had come and Asami was getting ready to leave. She and Korra walked down to the dock.

"Okay," Asami began, '"I laid the dress down on your bed and found a pair of shoes for you. The dress was a little big on me, but I think it will fit you perfectly."

''Thank you, this means so much to me." Korra was genuinely thankful to the gorgeous girl standing in front of her.

"It's no problem" she replied with a smile "I'm happy to help." They saw Mako making his way down the dock. Korra decided to leave before she made thing awkward for herself.

"Bye Asami! Thanks again!" she gave a wave and made her way back to the temple.

The boys had left and it was time for Korra to get ready. She took a shower and Pema had agreed to help her do her make up. She hadn't even looked at the dress yet. As soon as Pema had left, without taking a second to look at the beautiful makeup she had on, Korra looked at the dress on her bed. It had thick straps, and a low neckline. It looked like the hem would fall just above her knees. And the color was a shade of blue that reminded Korra of the sky. It was gorgeous. She pulled it on, it was tight. She understood now why it didn't fit Asami. But where it was too big on Asami; it was too small for Korra. Damn Boobs, Korra cursed. She could still breathe, but barely. Korra caught her own reflection in the mirror. The dress accentuated her every didn't even recognize herself, but it was past time to go. I don't even have time to put up my hair! She was going to be late. It's a good thing Tenzin had a meeting tonight. He wouldn't have let me leave looking like this.

"Where is Korra?" Mako inquired looking at the old watch around his wrist. "It's almost eight-thirty."

"Don't worry man," Bolin responded in his usual chipper voice. "I'm sure she'll be there in no time."

Just then a trolley pulled up across the street, from them. People pilled out, eager to get home to their families. The boys watched as the trolley pulled away and the group of people dwindled.

"Do you even see Naga?" Mako was getting more aggravated by the second. His brother didn't answer. Bolin was starring across the street at the one person left across the street. It was a girl.

"Whoa," They said together. The way the streetlight hit her, they couldn't see her face but they could see the rest of her. Her long hair caught the wind and started to move as she walked towards them. She was halfway across the street when her face came into her view. Mako placed his hand over his mouth, hoping that it would hide his gaping jaw. "Wow". He whispered, "Just wow."

"Hey guys!" Korra greeted them excitedly. Mako felt his face going red. STOP BUSHING! DON'T BLUSH STUPID YOU'RE NOT 12!

"Wow Korra, you look great" Bolin complimented, "Mako and I didn't even recognize him."

She giggled "Thanks Bolin, you look nice too." She tapped him on the chest. The earthbender tipped his hat. She looked at Mako. "You look good Mako." He was desperate now to seem completely unimpressed by her, so he spat out a quick "Thanks" and walked inside. The other two followed him. Walking into the club was like stepping into a new world for Korra. Everyone was dancing and having a good time, and the swing music was playing. Korra's thought process was broken by Mako.

"Now look, they don't serve alcoholic drinks here, so the only thing you need to steer clear of is the cactus juice. That stuff is worst to have in your system than alcohol, trust me." They all headed to the bar and took a seat. Not long after a girl came over to Bolin and asked him to dance, and just like that he was he was gone. Korra barely saw him after that. Korra and Mako were left at the bar… alone. Spirits this is awkward, why is he acting so weird. She kept trying to make conversation with the firebender but he kept blowing her off. She was getting pissed now.

"What is your problem?"

"Nothing" he responded quickly.

"Well you've been a jerk all night."

Mako fought the strong urge to kiss her right then and there. But he knew, he knew that if he did it would ruin everything. Everything with Asami. Everything with Korra. Just… everything. "I'm fine" he was able to mutter out. He looked at her and a tan, young man came up behind her and put his hands her shoulders. He leaned down and whispered "Hello Little Miss Avatar"

Mako was infuriated. Who does this guy think he is? And who the hell gave him permission to touch Korra? Korra turned around and immediately wrapped her arms around the mysterious guy. He returned the embrace and kissed the top of her head. "Hi" Korra sang with an overjoyed smirk on her face. Mako watched the two as they stood in each other's arms for what seemed like an eternity, before Korra broke to introduce the two strangers.

"Mako this is Kensei." She said with her arm around him and his arm grasped Korra's waist. Mako really wanted to punch him out. He evaluated the guy in front of him. He was wearing a dark blue suit with a matching tie and hat. That beat Mako's dress shirt, tie and worn out black blazer any day. This guy was so well put together.

Korra continued.

"We were Katara's students at the same time. We learned waterbending together. He is part of the reason I'm so good." Kensei quickly denied.

"No, no you were always a natural." Mako noted how the man's hand tightened around her waist when he said "natural" They're, flirting right in front of me.

Korra giggled, "But you were always a few years ahead of me." This guy was really bending Mako's nerves now. A FEW YEARS! How old is this guy? In his twenties? He is way too old for Korra. He then noticed Kensei reaching his free hand out to let Mako shake it. As he did the stranger said,

"It's really nice to meet you; I've been a fan of the Fire Ferrets even before Korra joined." Mako noted that when he said he name, he pulled her closer to his body. Mako was seething now. He could feel the anger radiate to his hands. A fire could start in them any second.

"The pleasure is mine." Mako said forcing a smile.

Korra and Kensei walked away and found a nearby table to sit down and catch up.

Korra looked at the dance floor. She saw a large group of girls, in the middle was a black hat with a green band.

"See that green hat over there." She laughed, "That's Bolin."

"I see" Kensei said with a grin, "So Korra, how do you like Republic City?"

"It's beautiful here but," her face flooded with a look of sadness. "I kind of miss home." She looked at him with pleading eyes. "I wish you didn't leave."

"Me too, but then we wouldn't be here." He reached across the table and grabbed her hand. "Three years, it's been three years since I've seen you. Korra in that time I realized how much I like you. I wish I would have realized that sooner. And I guess... I guess I'm afraid that if I don't do something about it now, I'll lose you again."

"Kensei" she started. "I've always liked you." She intertwined their fingers. They both blushed.

He smiled "Let's dance" he said getting up and Korra followed. Mako who?

Mako, still sitting at the bar, had seen and heard everything. He shouldn't be angry about this. He had a girlfriend. A lovely, kind, courageous girlfriend. But he knew from the moment he saw Korra from across the street (even if he didn't recognize her), that she was the only one he wanted. He felt drawn to her for some reason. And this guy. This… this jerk was about to take her away. Why are guys always so into her? He knew the answer to that one. Because she's sexy, that's why. But what could he do now; he had missed all his opportunities. This can't happen I need to forget about this. So he did the only thing he could think of. He turned to the bartender.

"One shot of cactus juice please."

...To be continued...

It just got real.
