With every pasing minute Korra's anticapation grew and grew as Asami denied her information. All she knew was that they were going to have fun but that could mean anything. And as Korra went about racking her brain trying to determine where they were going Asami was enjoying watching Korra squirm in anticapation. "Come on Asami give me another hint."
"If I'd did that you'd still never figure it out, then you'd want another and another and even then you'd never guss. Just hold on we'll be there shortly." Even as she said it she knew Korra wouldn't wait. Every few seconds she bounced her knee and tilted her head out the window trying to determine how far they've gone.
After ten minutes of Korra's faild guessing the car came to a stop. Korra imediatly reached for her blindfold but was stopped by Asami who pulled her out of the car.
"Alright Korra you can take it off now."
Without hesitation Korra ripped her blindfold off and was taken back by what she saw. In front of the girls stood a recent addition to the city and a place both girls had been wanting to go to for the longest time.
"Asami please tell me I'm not dreaming and that we're really at the winter dome."
"We're really here Korra." The Winter Dome was a fairly large building which housed the largest arcade and ice rink in the city. It was also overflowing with water tribe food and was a hot spot for dates. Korra could't barely contain her excitment as she hugged Asami before dragging her inside.
As soon as they stepped there the door they were hit with a masive blast of cold air and the sounds of countless people having fun.
"So Korra what should we do first?"
"Skate!" She said heading straight for the ice shoes. Once they were ready they started out onto the ice, seconds later Korra fell face first onto the ice.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine." but as soon as she stood up she fell again. This continued for the next few minutes which made Asami start to ponder something.
"Korra do you not know how to skate?"
"Of course I do... it's just been a while that's all." Even as she said that she knew she could't fake it forever. She'd been sure that she'd be good at skating. After her fourth face first fall Asami offered her hand. "Come on you big faker I'll teach you."
She took her hand and let Asami teach her as she tried to hide her embarassment as others passed them on the ice on how sweet they looked.
"Now just try and take one small step at a time and go slow." and so she did. And when she didn't fall she took another and another untill she was able to walk without falling.
"You're doing great, now try skating over to me." determinted to do it right she put all her effort into skating and after a bit of a undeady start she glided straight into Asami's open arms.
"Well somebody's a quick learner."
"What can I say I had a good teacher." in her excitment she leaned in and quickly kissed her. But as Asami started to return the kiss Korra felt her legs start to move and soon both of them wound up tripping and falling onto each other.
"Sorry"
"Don't be, now come one we have a long night ahead of us."
They spent a couple of hours gliding across the ice and during that time Korra quickly got the hang of it. Espically since Asami was there to catch her before she could fall. When they decided they'd had enough they went to explore the rest of the Winter Dome's activites.
As Korra took in every machine and everything they could do Asami spotted something they had to try. "Come on Korra I know just what to do." she said pointing to a small machine near the back. As she turned to look she grew excited by it and soon both of them were squeezing into the photo booth and making silly faces as well as a few romantic ones. When the picturs came out they couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight of them.
"I'd say your locker just got some more additions"
"I think these just became my favorite."
Their date continued from there as they made sure to enjoy all that the Winter Dome had to offer. From the dance machine to the punching machine. Asami even managed to win Korra an enormours stuffed polarbear dog from one of the games. As they were walking toward the food vendors Korra suddenly realized something.
"Asami"
"Yes Korra."
"Am I the girl in this date?" No matter how she looked at it she was sure she'd wound up being the girl for their first date.
"And what makes you think that?" she could hear the playful tone in Asami's voice. "Well for one you set everything up, not to mention you've payed for everything and one me this prize. I just feel like we've switched roles."
Asami just smiled before cupping her cheek. "Korra just for tonight I want to spoil you more then I ever have. So I'm going to make sure that you're completly spoiled rotten and I'm not taking no for a answer." She didn't know what to say. She saw the determined look in her eyes and knew that no matter what she said she couldn't change it.
"Fine." she didn't want to admnit it but she actually liked Asami spoiling her. It wasn't long before she felt her stomach growling and she caught the wiff of something delicious.
"Asami is that."
"Your favorite." Their were food stands everywhere but what got her attention the most was the meat stand that selling fire nation ribs.
Once the plate was in front of her she sank her teeth into them and let the flavor pool into her mouth. Asami on the other hand was stuck with a salad. She didn't have the massive hunger for meet that Korra had.
When they'd had their fill of food and games they made their way outside. Korra noticed how Asami was smiling and glancing at her watch.
"Waiting for something?"
"Just our ride. I have something special planned." as soon as the limo pulled around Asami haded Korra her blindfold. "Again with this?"
"Trust me."
Once again she climed inside and put it on. This time however Asami did giver her a hint.
"Since I know you can't take the suspense I can tell you that we're heading to a hotel for the night."
"A hotel?" Korra suddenly felt nervous.
That was all Asami said as the car sped away. When they arrived and her blindfold was removed Korra was once again taken back. They were standing right in front of the Grand Palace once of the fanciest hotels that the city had. To say it was pricey was an understamnt.
"Before you say anything the mananger of this hotel is an old frind of my father's and he's aggread to give us a room for the night. Now come on there's more to the suprise." as they went inside Korra could barely wrap her mind around how much thought Asami had put into this date. She'd have to do something amazing for her in the future. Once inside they were greeted by a rather large balding man.
"Hello Asami it's been quite a while."
"It has been a long time Iroh, anyway is everyting I asked for in the room."
"Of course. I do hope you and your special friend enjoy yourselves tonight." he said as they passed him and made their way into the elvator.
"Lets see I beleive it was this one." Korra looked at the button and nearly had a heart attack. "You got us the penthouse!?"
"Like I said I plan to spoil you tonight." The moment the elvator stopped and the door opend Korra felt her heart stop for the second time that night. The entire room was covered with fancy pillows and golden sheets. She could even hear the sound of a hot tub in the bathroom. On the massive bed were a series of moves. As she looked through them she saw that they were their favorite ones. Not only were their movies there but next to the bed where her and Asami's pajamas. Korra began to wonder just how much planning Asami had put into this date.
"I'm going to go freshen up, you just relax for a while okay." Just as soon as she heard the bathroom door close she felt her knees colaspe as she fell onto the bed as the weight of it all finally caught up for her. She squeezed her stuffed toy to her chest as she tried to focus.
"Okay Korra calm down. So Asami took you on what was by far the best first date of all time, so what if right now your sitting in the penthouse suite of the pricest hotel in the entire city. No biggie right?" she asked her stuff toy. When she didn't recieve an answer she tossed it to the floor.
Not knowing what else to do she decided to get comfortable and slip her pajamas and put one of the moves in. A few minuts after she hit the play button she heard the door open. What she saw mad her jaw hit the floor.
Asami stood there in nothing but a very short bathtowel. "What?"
"You... you.. you look good."
"Great so what are we watching?" she asked as she sat down and curled up next to Korra.
"The Mad king."
"The one about the old crazy king who takes back his city by himself? I love that one."
As the movies started Asami was complety engrossed in it, but Korra was completly captivated by Asami. Her heart was ready to burst and her body was burning up.
Asami noticing this looked up and met Korra's gaze. After the longest minute in history they kissed. Korra pulled Asami in for a deeper kiss and Asami moved untill she was strattling Korra. When they pulled away they each searched for the right words to say.
"Korra I..."
"Asami I..."
"Love you" they said at the same time. With a wicked smile Asami took Korra's hands and led them to her bathrobe. Korra understood what wasn't being said and widened her eyes with suprise.
"Korra I know we haven't been dating long and we don't have to do anything if you don't want to. I just wanted to show you how much you mean to me."
Hearing those words Korra picked up Asami and set her down on the bed before she started to remove her own clothes.
"Asami you showed me the best time I've ever had. Now it's my turn to show you how much I love you." Those were the last full sentences said that night as both girls spent the entire night and most of the morning makeing the most of their bed, and floor, and hot tub.
Two years later we find Korra pacing back and forth behind a giant red curtin the sounds of cheering fans and flashing lights mere feet away.
"Korra I know you're nervous but remember I'll be right here the entire time. All you have to do is walk out there stirke a pose and walk back."
"Easy for you to say. I don't know how you managed to talk me into doing this."
"Well If I remember correctly I didn't use words to convince you. Now go on we have dinner with your parents after the show." She gave her a small kiss for good luck as she left. As she started down the catwalk she heard the announcer.
"And now ladies and gentelmen we see the latest and greatest of the new Sato summer line worn by the lovely Korra winters." As she walked she heard the murmers and cheers as they took in Asami's latest outfit but the real noise came when the cameramen spotted the sparkling ring on her finger.
That's then end. Review and tell me what you thought of the ending.
