AHH! I've been browsing random Makorra tumblr pages, and they're so romantic! Awww. Especially some of those animated gifs? YESS! Anyway, I am a Makorrian, but I wanted Mako to be in a confusing relationship! Just to make the story be a bit more interesting.

Jinora wanted to wake the rest of the kids up, but she opened the doors to find empty rooms. On Jinghua's bed there was a note;

Dear everyone,

Thank you so much, but our parents wanted us to leave last night. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone about what happened a few days ago. We decided that we may come to visit often.

-Jinghua, Cheng, Rulan, and Ying

The elder sister passed the note onto Ikki, who was able to read most of it aloud to Meelo. Ikki and Meelo seemed excited to see the kids again. Pema added, "Hey, I helped them write that. They were really sad when their parents came to pick them up. But what were they promising not to tell?"

The three children pretended to whistle and ignore as the stepped into Korra's room. Master Katara asked Mako, "So how did this happen?"

"I think it had something to do with Tarrlok's bloodbending. We think it's brain damage." He pondered.

The Master turned to her grandchildren, "Were any of you aware of what occurred last night?"

The two younger siblings just shrugged, while Jinora was twiddling her thumbs.

"What about you, Little Ms. bookworm? Do you know?"

She stammered, "Korra had a really bad fever, and it got worse. Tarrlok dehydrated her so that she would have no way of escaping, and I think that he took out a whole bunch of her blood from that gash that's in her arm. Okay?"

The adults in the room were speechless. Katara shook her head, "Looks like I should have arrived sooner."

The old woman hovered her hands over Korra's forehead, down her shoulders. "Minor brain damage, and a terrific amount of blood lost. I can heal her in two days instead of two weeks, but I would also need your time and patience."

Ikki called, "How do you know?"

She reminded, "Bloodbending."

Meelo scratched his head furiously. "Huh?"

"Let's just say that bloodbending can be used for healing, too. But it's a bit complicated."

But Mako was glad to hear that she would be recovering in less than half the time. He closed the door behind him to see his brother and Asami laughing. He stated, "Seems that you two had a good picnic."

Asami giggled as she handed him the roses, "Here. It's for Korra."

Mako stared at them as they laughed their way down the staircase. He knew that they weren't making fun, but still laughing at each other and some lame jokes Bolin blurted out. But the firebender wondered, 'Were they high?' Mako shrugged this off as he traveled down the plaza to pick up groceries.

It didn't take long for him to pick up the fruit and dumplings when Mako tripped and bumped into a girl. The grocery bags fell, and both people slipped, landing on their backs. The girl rubbed her forehead as she took Mako's hand to help her up. She spoke clumsily, "Oh-Sorry about that."

The two helped each other carry the foods back into the paper bags. A chuckle escaped from Mako's lips. The girl eyed him curiously, "What's so funny?"

He replied, "No, sorry. It's just that this reminds me of how I met my first girlfriend. She nearly ran over me with her moped."

She giggled, "Well, I guess that is a coincidence."

She quickly grabbed his hand and shook it, "I'm Mingyu."

He said, "And I'm Mako." returning the gentle handshake. Mako looked into Mingyu's light hazel eyes, and found that they reminded him of Korra's shining ones. Both of their eyes seemed to have beautiful glimmers. He finally snapped out of it and waved as he rushed out the market's doors. When he got to the temple, he found that there was no reason to hurry. In fact, everyone was calmly sitting around the large rectangle table, eating dinner. Bolin turned, "Hey, bro! Come and eat!" he called, patting on the seat beside him.

Mako shook his head and headed to his room and laid the bags down.

Mako's POV:

I sighed and sat on top of my bed. I couldn't help but think of how beautiful she really was. But I just broke up with Asami, and now I'm with Korra. What kind of person am I told break up with someone and date another just so that I could fall in love with someone else? To me, that was pretty messed up. Unfortunately, it was the perfect explanation for my life. Sort of like a love triangle?

Yeah, that's it. Guys get caught up into this stuff all the time, having more than one girl they like. But I barely know Mingyu. She could be anyone-an Equalist for all I know. Feeling reassured, I pushed the window by Korra's room and opened it. I peeped through it and could see that Master Katara was healing Korra's wounds. I entered, "Hi, Master Katara. How's she doing?"

The healer said, "She's healing pretty fast. She should be awake by tomorrow."

I smiled with excitement, "Oh, thank you! You really are the greatest healer in the world!"

She hesitated before saying, "Is that what really what people think I am? That's great, actually! But for now, you're the one who should get some rest. Did you see the bags under your eyes? Staying up all night and worrying isn't healthy for your own well being."

I made a small bow before laying back inside of my own bed.

"Take a shower too, for spirit's sake!" I heard the Master tease through the screen door.

I grunted before snatching a towel and gathering my clothing.

Yay! Two chapters in a couple of hours. But I've forced myself to continue and finish with what I've started first.
