It had been almost three months since their crazy vacation. Dakota had left a couple days later, leaving Mako with his own knowledge to make sure he wouldn't screw up his relationship…again. Unfortunately, for him they had gotten into some stupid fights, but they usually ended up making out in the end.
Korra liked the relationship they currently had way better than their previous one since they weren't always fighting about her duties and travels. They even got to spend more time together because of her not needing to leave for months at a time. Yes, she had to go to leave a couple times, but they didn't get into stupid fights like they used to. She knew that was most likely going to change soon though because she knew the world wouldn't stay at bay forever.
She was relieved that Kandice hadn't gotten lost in the city or got arrested so Tenzin had thought Korra was finally learning some responsibility. Korra always wanted to tell him that Kandice was the one who needed to learn responsibility, not her. In the last three months Kandice hadn't done anything nearly as bad as the cactus juice prank though. Yes, she played a few pranks on her, but they weren't that bad. Little did she know there was a prank waiting to be born.
Korra was currently taking a shower because Mako had told her he was taking her to restaurant to tell her something important. She was wondering what was so important that he was taking her out to tell her instead of just telling her. Whatever the case was it she thought it was nice he was taking her out to eat.
When Korra exited the shower she dried herself when she noticed it. All that was in there were her bindings, and the towel she was drying herself with. She then realized who did such a thing.
"Kandice!" she yelled so it would echo through the house.
She knew she wouldn't be able to hide in the bathroom for much longer if she was going to be able to meet Mako in the dining room. She had no choice, but to put on her clothing that was left and wrap the towel around her body. She looked like an idiot, but she thought it was better than having to walk around the house practically naked.
Korra poked her head through the door to check to see if there was anyone if sight. She saw nobody so she started to run to her room. She was thankful her room wasn't that far. Once she finally got to her room she grabbed some clothes out of her dresser, and was about to drop her towel.
"Hey, Korra, I heard you scream and Kandice told me to-ohhh," Mako began, but was stopped with the sight in front of him.
Korra strained her neck to see Mako without showing him her front side. She saw him behind her blushing and wide eyed at the sight in front of him. Korra on the other hand was pissed. "Mako! Stop staring and get the hell out!"
"Uhh…oh, um sorry, I'll just…wait outside," he stuttered, and he pointed to the door.
"I don't care, just get out!" she ordered.
Mako turned around and closed the door behind him. Korra let out a sigh of relief once she finally heard the door. Once again Kandice had put them in another awkward situation, but this one Mako was about to see her ninety percent naked. Then again, when she was in that bikini she was more naked. It didn't matter, what mattered was that she didn't want Mako to see her like that.
Mako and Korra were at the restaurant, sitting in silence. Even the walk and ride over was quiet because of that incident that Kandice created. Mako was the one to break the silence.
"Korra, you know I stepped in on you by accident, right?" Mako asked, clarifying that he wasn't trying to see her naked.
"Yeah, but did you actually come in because you thought I needed something?"
Mako was walking to the dining room to meet Korra when he saw Kandice who was chasing the airbending kids. When they ran past him Kandice literally ran into him.
"Ugh…oh Mako, what are you doing here?" she asked as she rubbed her forehead from the impact.
"I was wondering if Korra was ready for our date yet. Is she around?"
"Kandice!" A voice that belonged to Korra screamed.
"Oh, I was supposed to help her with her outfit, but why don't you? You're the boyfriend after all. I bet it wouldn't matter what she wore though, to you anything she wears looks great." She smirked.
"Umm…ok." He stayed a moment and stared at her wondering what her face was about then headed for Korra's room.
Mako thought back to when Kandice said that. He now knew why she was smirking when she said that last sentence. "Umm…well I heard you scream and then Kandice told me that she was going to help you with your outfit, but that was a big lie."
"That's for sure," she mumbled. "Anyways, what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Oh yeah, I got a job offer at the police station, and I took it," he revealed.
Korra's lips broke into a smile. "That's great Mako, but doesn't that mean you'll have to arrest me sometime in your profession?"
"If you manage to stay out of trouble that won't have to happen. Probably nothing more embarrassing than getting arrested by your boyfriend," he teased.
"You probably don't have the guts, you'd have to face me sometime after the arrest. I wouldn't want you to be you facing the all might Avatar," she teased.
"Since I'm going to be a police officer, I won't be able to be on the Fire Ferrets anymore. Do you want to be the captain?"
"I love pro-bending Mako, I really do, but my time as a pro-bender is up. My duties are probably going to expand as I get older, and I just can't deal with my duties and pro-bending. It was hard enough this season to make all the games," she explained.
"I already told Bolin about my new job, and he said he'd take the position as captain if you didn't want it. I guess Bolin has to make a whole new team then."
"Yep, that's true. Anyways, I hope you're a good officer of the law, and I hope you still have time to see me."
After dinner Mako went back to his apartment so he could tell Bolin where he stood in the Fire Ferrets while Korra went back to Air Temple Island. She was walking to the kitchen when she heard voices coming from the dining room. She quietly walked to the dining room and stayed out of sight to listen.
"And that's how Korra set our house on fire kids. Don't ever pi-umm tick Korra off to the max or else well this house will be up in flames."
Of course she tells them at story,Korra thought.
"Did Korra actually set your house on fire?" Ikki asked.
"Yes, but she might have been extra sensitive because of…well the time of the month or something. Mom and dad had a fit that she set the house on fire and she had to help rebuild the house. So never dump snow into anybody's underwear or there will be severe consequences."
"I'm going to do that to Korra when we go to the Southern Water Tribe to drop you off in a few weeks! I'm going to do it daddy! And mommy, and Jinora, and Meelo, actually everyone!" Ikki blurted out.
"No way I'm letting you stick snow down my pants, Ikki," Jinora said.
"I'll stick snow down your pants!" Meelo exclaimed.
"Huh…" Jinora sighed.
If what Ikki said was true then Korra was going to lose her sister soon again. Even though Kandice had been a pain in the butt for Korra at times, she knew she was going to miss her being with her. She frankly couldn't imagine her life without her in it, just like when she was little. Everything was changing too fast. Mako was going to be a cop and she knew they wouldn't be able to see each other as much and Kandice was leaving to go back to the Southern Water Tribe. Bolin was going to have to go searching for eligible teammates for the Fire Ferrets and Asami was still working on bringing Future Industries back to the top. Everyone had their own path to take, but she knew that's how it had to be.
I decided to make Mako a cop! I originally wasn't going to make him a cop once I heard he was going to be a cop, but then I realized it fit into my story so yeah. Not really much Mako as a cop action in this story though.
Anyways, not the best ending or my best work, but oh well. So please review: )
