It was the last night of their vacation, the next morning they'd have to leave their paradise and go back to their ordinary, stressful, lives. Their vacation had been great even though it was only three days, it just went by too fast for everyone.
The previous day they had went to the beach again and went out to town and browsing through the shops. No one was actually buying anything, but just looking around. Korra and Mako had went to a nice restaurant themselves as a date, and everything would've went right if Korra didn't get in a fight with some girl who kept glancing at Mako and then got them kicked out.
So for their last meal together they decided to go to town and get everyone something they wanted for dinner. Unfortunately, they didn't know that trouble was occurring at the house when they had left, well trouble for them.
Kandice and Dakota were in the dining room writing down stuff on paper for Mako and Korra while Bolin and Asami were in their room. Kandice and Dakota were writing down some awkward romantic stuff, but Kandice told Dakota to do it.
"Kandice, I don't get why we're writing faulty notes when Mako and Korra will surely know that something's up," Dakota said as she was writing a note to Korra pretending to be Mako.
"Come on, let's just see if they're gullible enough to believe it. Plus it'll help with my top secret mission if they believe it. If they don't believe it, well at least we tried," she replied as she finished her note to Mako pretending to be Korra.
"First of all your 'top secret mission' isn't really a secret to me, and writing this note was just awkward," she claimed as she placed it on Korra's chair. "Hey don't you have to play the prank that I still think is a bad idea toni-" she started before they heard the voices of Mako and Korra. "Scram!"
Dakota high tailed it out of there while Kandice's foot hooked onto a chair and they both fell. She got up, not having enough time to set the chair back up.
Mako and Korra entered with bags of food, well Mako did while Korra carried one bag. Mako placed the bags of food on the table while she placed her one bag on the table.
"I don't get it. Why did I have to carry every bag, but that one you carried?" Mako asked, sounding a bit irritated.
"Well, it's a bit of payback for not talking to me about everything and a bit of payback for yesterday's…event," she answered.
"How is it my fault that the girl kept staring at me?"
"I'm just joking on that part, but I am still getting payback on you for not just talking to me. Just be glad I'm not making you do something worst, you could be carrying me all day," she pointed out.
He walks over to her laughing a bit. "Well that wouldn't have been the worst punishment ever," he claimed as he noticed no one else in the room. "Hey, no one else is here," he hinted.
"Mako, no, were not having a make out session in Asami's dining room, anyone could pop in at any moment," she declined, backing away from him.
"Nah, I think Bolin and Asami are...you know, since we heard them last night, and Dakota and Kandice are probably at the beach or something," he guessed walking closer to her making her back away, not because she didn't want to kiss him, but because she didn't want anyone to see them kissing.
"Mako, I'll make you a deal if you stop-oof!" she started, but then tripped over something. "What the hell? Who leaves a damn dining room chair on the floor?"
"Are you alright?" he asked as he put the chair up and kneeled down to her level.
"Yes, Mako, I'm fine," she stated then turned her head to the side where the other chairs were. "What's this?" She grabbed a piece of paper that was on Mako's chair and read it. "That rascal!"
"What's it say?" Mako asked as he moved so he was sitting next to Korra.
"Uhh nothing," she replied as she crumpled up the note and stuffed it in her pocket and got up. She grabbed someone's bag of food and took it to the kitchen.
Mako followed behind her and saw her grab hot sauce and put loads of it on the food. "Umm Korra, why are you dumping," he caught a glimpse of the hot sauce label, "357 Mad Hog Monkey Hot Sauce!" Mako exclaimed as he grabbed the hot sauce from her.
"Hey!" she yelled as she tried to grab the hot sauce back from him, but failed.
"Korra, you're gonna make whoever eats that breath fire!"
"For your information City Boy, this is my meal and I prefer a hot meal! Now give me my hot sauce back!" she whined as she tried to reach for it, but was failing because she was so short compared to him.
"No, I'm going to go get everyone for dinner and I'm going to keep this." He put the hot sauce into his pocket. "I don't need you breathing fire at dinner." He left her alone in the kitchen while she chuckled.
I can't believe he bought that, he's too gullible.
Everyone was finally in the dining room, and everyone got what they ordered. They all took a seat and dug in.
When Korra took a seat she found a note on her chair, but just crumpled it up knowing who it was from. She wasn't eating much because she kept glancing over at Kandice who was talking to Bolin. She was getting impatient that she wouldn't eat her food.
That's when it happened, she finally picked up her fork and started to dig into her food. Korra tried to hide a smirk when she started to stuff food in her mouth, but was failing miserably. Then it kicked in.
"Hot!" Kandice exclaimed as she was looking for water. "Water!" she yelled as she pushed her chair out and ran for the kitchen.
Everyone looked at where Kandice ran to then to Korra. "What?" she asked.
"That wasn't your food earlier, was it?" Mako asked, just realizing she fooled him earlier.
"Nope, and you bought," she laughed.
"Wait, what happened? What don't we know?" Bolin wondered.
"Kandice played a little trick on Mako and I earlier and I needed to give her some payback. So I put some 357 Mad Hog Monkey Hot Sauce on her meal," she said like it was nothing.
Everyone looked at her like she was crazy probably because 357 Mad Hog Monkey Hot Sauce was known to be one of the hottest hot sauces in the world.
"Korra! Where did you even get hot sauce?" Asami asked. "I don't own any hot sauces."
"It was in your covert, and conveniently it was just the hot sauce to do the job," she replied while smiling.
Kandice then returned with a jug of water and pushed her food away from her. "I'm done, I'm just going to watch you eat, and well played Korra," she sighed.
"Kandice, I still don't think this is a good idea," Dakota warned as she watched Kandice with her mischief.
Kandice had two glasses, one which contained red leechi juice, the other was three fourths full with leechi juice and the quarter was filled with cactus juice. Kandice obtained the cactus juice from Dakota who bought in it town since Kandice practically begged for it since she couldn't buy it. The one that contain the cactus juice she managed to make it the same shade of red as the leechi juice, but it was a bit thicker.
"Oh please, it's not like she's going to go running around the house naked. Just going to make her a little drunk and possibly make Mako want her more," she spoke as she put the finishing touches on the drinks.
"You have an evil mind for a fourteen year old, I can you give you credit for that," she declared as she watched her do everything.
"Finished!" she cheered, she grabbed a tray that was in her room and placed the two drinks on it then shoved it in Dakota's face. "Go take this to Mako and Korra."
"No way!" she yelled. "You take it to them!"
"Look, if I take it to them, Korra will immediately know something is up, but if you take it they'll expect nothing. Just tell them Asami told you to give it to them and then they'll suspect absolutely nothing. Wasn't it your goal to make sure they're on good terms before you leave in a few days?"
"Fine, I'll do it," she reluctantly said as she got up and took the tray.
"Make sure Korra gets the one with the straw!" she reminded.
Dakota did not feel good doing that, but so long as Korra didn't get drunk enough to kiss another boy, she thought it wouldn't be that bad. How much harm could be done after all? It was a quarter of a glass, and the glass wasn't even that big. She finally reached their door and she knocked with her foot. They came to the door and saw Dakota.
"Is that leechi juice?" Korra asked as she moved her face towards the one specifically for her.
"Yeah," she answered as she moved the tray back a little, "Asami wanted me to give it to you guys. So here you go." Dakota gave Korra the one specifically for her and then gave Mako's his. "I'll see you tomorrow then."
I still don't think this is a good idea, she thought as she walked off.
Mako and Korra were back on their beds with their drinks. Mako really had to restrain Korra from drinking it.
"Korra let's make a toast. This vacation may have not have gone as smooth as we both wanted it to go, but it was amazing me for and I hope we get to do this another time sometime," he proposed and then clicked their glasses together.
They both started to drink their drinks and that's when it all started.
Korra awoke with a major headache and attempted to snuggle into her pillow even more, but made contact with something hard, there was a familiar smell though. She opened her eyes to see her snuggled in his bare chest and felt his hands around her waist. She then felt a draft that made her shiver and then realized her shirt was off and only in her top bindings. She scrambled out of their embrace and fell to the floor, waking Mako up in the process.
"Mako, what the hell happened? I can't remember anything, and why am I topless?" she asked in a panic.
He propped himself on an elbow to get a better look at her. "Look, last night there must've been something in that drink because you started to do weird stuff so I think you got drunk."
"Ok, that explains what happened, but why am I topless?"
Mako chuckled to himself a little. "You're going to be embarrassed, but you kept trying to get me in bed with you. You took off your own shirt, well actually ripped it off, and then you took my shirt off, but I wouldn't let you go any further than that. I had to restrain you from going any further, and you wouldn't stay in your own bed. I'm betting you that Kandice has something to do with your drunken state."
Korra blushed intensely as she heard that. She must've made a fool of herself that night, and she just wanted to high tail it out of there, but she wasn't wearing a shirt. She got up off of her position on the floor, and was looking for her shirt everywhere.'
"If you're looking for your shirt," he started then grabbed the blue fabric out from behind him, "you better get another one." She saw it was practically ripped in half.
"I don't have another shirt, I only packed three days worth of clothes," she whined.
Mako sighed and grabbed his bag off of the floor and threw her a simple white t-shirt. "Here, you can have this for the day." He got up off of his bed and grabbed some new clothes from his bag. "Now hurry up and get dressed before they suspect we're actually doing it."
They were finally on the ship back to Republic City, probably about half way there. Mako and Korra were looking at the scenery, Bolin and Asami were somewhere, and Dakota and Kandice were most likely causing trouble.
"What a vacation," Korra sighed as she leaned onto the railing.
"Wasn't the smoothest ever, but one of my favorite," he told her.
She looked over at him thinking he only like it because he saw her without a top on and in a bikini. She gave him a punch in the shoulder. "Just because you saw me topless and in a bikini don't think you'll see me again like that for a while."
"Maybe if I slip some cactus juice into a drink of yours I will," he joked as he wrapped an arm around her waist.
"Yeah, like I'll fall into the 'slip some cactus juice into my drink' joke again. I didn't yell at Kandice though because she's treating me like a normal person. Not the 'all mighty Avatar' just me."
"Well that's a good thing then, and I think Kandice and Dakota have really bonded over this vacation."
"Yeah, you're right. To tell you the truth Mako, she may be more trouble than I remember, but this vacation was like paradise for me."
I have to say this was probably one of my favorite chapters to write for some reason, most likely because of all the pranks.
357 Mad Hog Monkey Hot Sauce is 357 Mad Dog Hot Sauce in this world.
Anyways, Kandice is a troublemaker now isn't she? The next chapter picks up three months after this. So please review: )
