(Asami)
Korra still hasnt come home yet, and Yue didn't come down for dinner. I got a couple of texts from Korra telling me she was with Pema. It's been storming for awhile now, so I'm glad she's not driving in this weather.
I tucked Jet into bed and walk toward Yue's room. I'm about to knock on the door when I realize, this is my house.
I open the door and see Yue curled up in bed. "You didn't come down for dinner"
"I wasn't hungry" she mumbles
"Oh I see, you ate too much at the party" Yue sits up
"It wasn't a party, I didn't know Aang would be there, and Mommy comes in like a SWAT team and embarrasses me"
"So by her taking you away from the party, that was embarrassing, the party which you didn't tell anyone about, the party which had boys, that I'm sure Mommy warned you about"
Yue just stares at me dumbfounded I nod clearly seeing my daughter got the point.
"I don't know, which to be disappointed about, the fact you lied to the both of us, or that you told someone who loves you dearly, that you hated her"
Yue mouth drops "I didn't mean for it to come out like that, she didn't have to cancel my date"
"Oh, so her cancelling your date, gave you the right to say such hurtful things to her, do you know how many times we ask you to do something and you don't do it?"
Yue nod "And have we once told you, we hated you?"
Yue shakes her head no
"Exactly, think about the situation, do you think you were in the right, taking in fact, all you did to get to this point?"
Yue doesn't say anything
"Yue, yes or no, if you can say you hate someone, which is a strong and powerful word, you can answer yes and no"
"NO, I don't think I was right, and I don't hate Mommy,and I'm sorry" Yue says in tears
I wrap my arms around her "I know you don't, and I'm sure Mommy will come to her senses and realize that you just said that out of anger"
"Do you think she's mad at me?" she asks
"Truthfully, I think she's mad at herself"
Knowing Korra, she always want to take the blame. That's why I want her to come home so we can talk about what happened.
"What should I do,to get Mommy to forgive me?" Yue ask
"What do you think you should do, is the question, I can't say that her punishment was out of line, I think it was more stricter than mines, but it was her call"
"Well I should apology first off"
"Sounds good"
"I could do extra chores around the house, to gain my phone back earlier"
"Okay, what else?"
"Geez I don't know, what else?"
I shrug "I don't know, that's up to you"
I hear the door open downstairs and I'm relived.
"Is that Mommy?" Yue asks
"I hope so" I tease
I make my way down the stairs and see Korra soaked and wet.
"Korra you're soaked"
"Why thanks Asami, it's not like it was raining" she looks up at me and her face drops
"I'm sorry, didn't mean to come off harsh" I raise my hand
"It's fine, it was a stupid question" I say with a small smile she motion for me to follow her.
I follow her into the laundry room. I don't know who should start to talk first her or myself. She's digging through the dirty clothes hamper.
"Korra, I folded clean clothes on the shelf!" She looks up and gives a small laugh
"Oh didn't notice" I roll my eyes as she puts on her Fire Ferret t shirt.
"Do you want to talk?" I ask while shutting the laundry room door.
She raises one of her eyebrows
"By you shutting the door, do you want to talk or TALK?"
I start to feel my face heat up "Just talk…at the moment" Korra winks and I appreciate how she always seems to make the situation less tense and I'm happy she's not as upset, as she was before . I guess her talk with Pema really calmed her down.
She hops on top of the dryer which I hate because ever since Jet saw her doing that, he wants to climb on the dry or washing machine every time he's near it and he could get hurt
Korra sighs "Does she really hate me?"
"Of course not, you know how we say things, we don't mean when we're angry"
"Yeah I know that, but sometimes we say things we mean when we are angry also, you know like when you leave something in for a long time, it bottles up and it screaming to come out, and it comes out and you can't stop it"
"Is that how you came out to your parents?" I tease
Korra dips her head "Sadly no, but having a Coke bottle and Mentos would have made it a lot more easier to explain"
I punch her shoulder while she laughs
"But really, I talked to Yue, and she told me she didn't mean it, and she realized she was in the wrong"
"As she should, I just hate the fact she lied to the both of us….mostly me"
"Yep, just ignore my feelings" Korra pulls me towards her kisses my hand
"What I meant was, I just want her to you know, come to one of us, if not both, about something instead of hiding it from the both of us"
I nod there is some truth in what Korra saying, I do prefer Yue tell the both of us but I can understand that, she might feel more comfortable only telling one of us sometimes, for explain Korra's parents. I tend to seek more advice from Tonqar than Senna because I know that Korra goes to him most of the time, but then again Senna knows things that Korra doesn't even know.
It's just different with having two people to talk to, the different personality makes it easier and difficult, but it allow you to see two point of views.
I nod while playing with Korra's hand
"Asami, I'm sorry for yelling at you ealier" I look up into Korra's eyes and she looks genuinely sorry.
I pull Korra into a hug
"Awww, I'm sorry for yelling at you too, and you were right I do tend to overreact a bit"
"Noooo, I love it when you overreact, it's pretty cute"
"Hmmm you say that now, so what are you going to do with Yue, boss lady this is in your control?"
Korra sigh "I'm going to give her, her phone back"
"What!" I know I gave Korra control of this, but that's not a punishment that's a reward.
"Asami, I have a plan, I'm going to pretend that I don't care, so she will be confused and try to regain my trust"
"I don't understand?"
"Spirits Sami, for a genius like yourself, you don't catch on, imagine if your Father caught you doing something bad and didn't punish you and carried on like nothing happened, how would you feel"
"Umm I would be screaming internally, because I would want some type of punishment"
"My point, I'm going use reverse psychology"
Korra actually has a point, that's a great idea.
"How long will you be doing this"? I ask
"Until Yue, gives up, which knowing you, wont be long"
"Hey, I don't give up so easily" I say moving towards her placing a kiss on her lips.
The Next Day
(Korra)
I turn my head from my pillow and hear a loud achoo sound and feel water droplets landing on my face. I open my eyes and see Jet wiping his nose.
"Mom, told me you work now" I wipe my son's germs off my face and turn over.
"Mommy get up!" Jet says while climbing on to my bed and jumping up and down.
"Jet, you don't know how tempted pushing you off the bed is" I say trying to continue my sleep as little feet vibrations are added to my bed.
"Push him off and you will have to deal with me" I look up and see Asami in the doorway.
Ugh now I have to get up. I catch Jet just when he's about to land and get out of bed. He squirms in my arms
"Let me go you beast" I can't help but laugh at such a strange comment made from Jet.
"Where did you learn that?" I ask while handing him to Asami
"In a book, we're having a play"
"A play?" Sami asks shocked Jet nods
"Yep, and I'm the Prince who saved the pencil"
"You mean Princess" I ask
"I said that!"
"Awww our baby is going to be in a play, and he's in the lead!"
"Why does the princes have to save the princess why can't a princess save the princess, or a prince save a prince.."
"Or the princess save herself" Asami adds
I laugh "I guess you're right"
"Why do you have to make everything negative Korra, it's just a play, no need to go in deep"
"You know, we can always get Ginger to help Jet with his lines" I tease
"Haha no, if Jet needs help, I think Iroh would be the best, you now with his" Asami sets Jet down and clears her throat
"Me the General, the strongest, toughest, most attractive person in the Four Nations, will save the day once again" Asami says in a booming voices
I clap "Yep, you got him nailed down" Asami bows
"Thank you"
I head downstairs and see Yue and Jet eating breakfast. Yue avoids eye contact with me.
"Good Morning Yue" I say while pouring me a cup of coffee
"Hello Mom" she says lowly I reach in the kitchen cabinet and pull out Yue's phone and hand it to her.
"Here" she looks up in shock
"What, you're letting me have it?"
I take a sip of my coffee "Yes, you did nothing wrong" Asami and I make eye contact
"What happened to getting it taken away"
I shrug "What about it?" she looks at Asami confused
"Mom is this a joke?"
"I knew Korra, for years now and I can tell when she's joking or not, so I doubt it"
Yue nods and slides her phone in her backpack
"Pass the syrup, peg-sent" Jet yells out to Yue causing me to almost spit out my coffee
Asami and Yue eyes both goes wide "Who taught you that word" Asami asks
"Yes, and its pronounced peasant" Yue adds while handing him the syrup
"The play I toad you"
"Oh yeah, the Princess and the Tower play, I heard they needed more directors" everyone looks at Asami
And she shakes her head "No, I'm not going to be in charge of some children play, it's bad enough I already get attention"
"Mom, it will be fun with you, you know everything" Jet says while I roll my eyes watching Asami almost shed a tear while pulling him into a hug.
"Aww thanks honey, I mean I guess I could check it out"
"NO!" Yue and I say at the same time
"I can't be known as the daughter with the hot mom and theater director"
"And you're a control freak Asami, you will take the fun out of it" I add not catching the hot mom part until now
"No I wont, you two don't know anything I can run a fortune 400 company, a play is nothing, I will be the best play director ever" Asami says while getting the car keys
"Lights, Camera, Action, and let's go" Asami says while Jet walks behind her
"Bye Mommy, we're going to be famous" Jet yells while blowing a kiss at me
"Aww baby like me when I climbed that..." Asami turns around and I shut my mouth
"Bye Mommy" Yue says
"Good bye, precious daughter who does nothing wrong, and doesn't lie to her parents" I say with a smile she looks confused
"What?"
"Oh nothing, have a good day"I wave and she waves awkwardly back
I dont want to go to work
Sorry for not updating in a long time, I will do better and get back on track. Asami directing a children play. You know that will be fun
Thoughts aways appreciated
