Soon, the clock strikes eleven thirty and Danny puts on a baseball cap and a hoodie to hide himself from the Amity Park residents. It is about a twenty minute walk to the Nasty Burger. He ushers Korra out of the door and they are off to meet one of Danny's best friends.
Korra gazes at everything with wonder - parking meters, mail boxes, the sleek and modern cars, the way people are dressed, etc. Danny remembers feeling like this in Korra's world: everything is so interesting and one just has to stop and look twice to take it all in because one never knows when - or if - one is going to come back.
Korra stops and gasps. She turns to Danny, "Why are they choking that dog?" She points to a Labrador on a leash.
"Kor, they're not choking it. Here you have to keep your dogs on leashes so they don't run away or cause trouble."
"Pets here must be very uncivilized or have really bad owners if they run away."
They make it to the Nasty Burger with two minutes to spare. Danny leads Korra to a table in the back corner, where no one can see them. He does not feel like being hounded by people right now. He shoots Tucker a text, telling him where he is to be found.
They wait for five minutes and then Tucker runs into the establishment and up to their table. He is out of breath and takes a seat opposite Danny.
"Hey, Danny, sorry I'm la -" Tucker begins to speak, but spots Korra. "Whoaa!" He adjusts his glasses. "Danny, is this your new girlfriend?"
"No, Tuck," Danny says exasperatedly. "Remember when I went to that other world?"
"Yeah..."
"I made a friend there and this is her: Korra."
"And what is she doing here?"
"I'm here on a forced vacation," Korra answers Tucker, who almost falls out of his chair.
"You speak English?" Tuck asks.
"Of course she does!" says Danny. "How else do you think I was able to survive there and make it back home?"
"You have a point." Tucker whistles. "Sam's not going to like this."
"Well, Sam's not here and not my girlfriend," Danny answers.
"You had another breakup?" Danny nods. Tucker rolls his eyes. "Of course."
"Yeah, but this one is final...I hope. I'm surprised she didn't tell you."
