Mako finds Korra the perfect jewelry

As Mako walked through the streets of Republic city he thought about Korra. How stubborn she was, how hard headed she was, how beautiful she was, the way she looked last night when she came over to... 'talk.' He was out shopping for him and Korras new apartment. He had proposed a few weeks ago and they were moving in together. She was stuck in a council meeting and couldn't make it. But she made it very clear what she wanted. So he just went out to do the shopping. He walked into the shop and asked the lady for what he needed.

"Can you help me find a dark blue couch and a light blue chair? My fiance and I are getting a new apartment and she made it very obvious what she wanted." Mako asked her.

"Sure! Follow me!" She cheered happily.

She led Mako to a room filled with couches of all colors. It was easy to pick out what he needed and was done shopping soon.

"Okay sir, I just need you to sign here and here and fill this out." The store lady said.

"Why exactly?" Mako asked before he signed it.

"This way we can deliver it to your apartment." She replied.

"Oh, okay then. There, its signed and filled out." He handed it back to her.

"Have a nice day sir." She said as he walked away.

He was happy because the price had come out to less than they had expected. He still had 440 yuans left. When he passed a jewelry store he looked in the window. Because he had money left over, he thought he might get Korra something special. He walked inside and looked around. He saw all sorts of things but nothing that Korra would like. He looked around again and found the perfect ring for her. It was golden with a huge light blue jewel in the middle. He thought Korra would love it. He picked it up.

"Excuse me sir, how much is this one?" Mako asked.

"That is a fantastic choice my young fellow. It is the jewel of the Spirit Oasis. It was supposedly made by the ocean and Moon spirit, Tu and Uye. The push and pull of the two created only five of these stones and this is one of the few. The total of it is made out to six hundered yuans." The sales man replied.

Mako nearly choked. "S-Six hundred yuans? Thats ridiculous!" He yelled.

"I'm sorry sir but that is the price." The clerk said.

'Korra would love this though... Maybe I can get him to lower the price to at least 430...' Mako thought.

"Anyway we could negotiate this to a lower price." Mako asked the clerk.

"Hmmmm... You do look like a very wise young gentleman. I'm sure we can strike a deal. How about 530?" The man asked.

"430?" Mako asked him.

"That's just a little too low on my price range... The lowest I can go is 500."

"Deal. Here you go." Mako said as he gave him the money.

He walked back to the apartment. He was currently living there although Korra still lived on Air Temple island. Tenzin was still very strict and wouldn't let her move until the day of the wedding. But Mako moved there as soon as they bought it. He had a plan to give it to her tonight when she came over. He set up the kitchen and put candles everywhere. He cooked up two fish and made some sides. By the time he put the ring in the middle of the table, Korra walked in. She smiled when she saw what he did and ran into his arms.

"Mako! Did you do this for me? Awwww this is so pretty! Mako you are the best!" She kissed him and he chuckled. "I love you." She kissed him again.

"I love you too." He said.

She walked over to the table and saw the ring. She gasped and picked it up. "Mako, did you get this for me?"

He walked over to her and pulled her in close. He put his chin on her head. "Of course I did, you like it?" He asked.

"Like it? I LOVE it! How much was this? Did we even have enough?" Korra exclaimed.

"The total on the furniture for the house came out to about 430 less than we needed. So I thought I would get you something you would like." Mako said proud of himself.

"This is beautiful!" Korra said.

He explained the story the sales clerk told him and she kissed him deeply.

"You are the best fiance ever!" She kissed him again.

"I know." Mako said as he picked her up and led her to the bedroom. The dinner cold and forgotten.
