It was a few days before Kandice had to go back to the South Pole. The airbending kids were excited about it since they were going to stay the night with their Gran Gran and Tenzin was even allowing Korra to come along and see her parents for the first time in a year.

Before any of that happened though there were some issues to be sorted out in their own house.

"But Tenzin please! I don't want to watch the kids tonight! Mako finally has a day off and I was going to go see him later! I beg of you please don't make me watch the kids!" Korra begged.

"Korra, remember when you went to Ember Island? I let you go on three conditions and I believe one condition was that you'd watch the kids three times no questions asked," he reminded.

"But Tenzin please! I'll do it any other day, but not tonight!"

"Nope, you have to do it tonight. It's not like you'll be alone, you have your sister to help you. Teach her how to take care of kids," he mentioned.

"Kandice, she's no help. If anything it's like taking care of another kid. And as a warning I don't know how to change a baby so how am I suppose to change Rohan? Hmm…I guess you can't go out then," she claimed as she went towards her room.

"Korra, for the last time you are not leaving this island tonight and you're going to watch the kids. And that's final," Tenzin sternly ended, walking to go see Pema.

Korra let out a sigh of annoyance as she walked to her room. She had been able to see Mako a few times during the last few weeks, but didn't really go on a date. He had finally got a day off from his training, but now she had to stay on the island to watch the kids and Kandice.

When she entered her room she found Kandice petting Naga. She did not want to talk to her right now. She walked over to her bed, laid face down on it, and buried her face in her pillow. Of course then Kandice had to sit down at the foot of the bed.

"Korra, I want to know something," she began.

"What?"

"Do you love Mako?"

Korra was caught off guard with the sudden question. She lifted her face from the pillow and sat up so she could get a better look at her. "Why do you want to know if I love Mako?"

"I don't know. I was just wondering," she shrugged.

Korra seemed reluctant to tell her. "Well, yeah, I love him."

"Ok," she said as she got up from the bed and walked over to the door, "I guess I'll see you later. I have to go tend to something."

"Ok, Korra, do you understand what you have to do?" Pema asked as she was getting ready to go to town with Tenzin.

"Yes, Pema I do. Dinner is in the fridge and give it to the kids in about half an hour. If you're not back by nine put the kids to bed and read them a story so they go to sleep. And the most important rule, don't let the kids destroy the house," she recited.

"Very good," she praised. "Well I better go find Tenzin so we can go out and hopefully be back before something bad happens," she noted as she walked towards her and Tenzin's room.

I don't want to do this, she thought as she saw Pema and Tenzin walk out.

Korra was officially alone with four airbending kids and Kandice. She turned around to see all the kids at a table with Rohan on the table. It looked like Ikki was trying to get him to airbend with his hands. Korra then realized the night couldn't go that bad.

Mako was walking up the steps to the girl dormitories' excepting to see Korra waiting for him at the top. He had gotten a call from Kandice earlier saying that Korra wanted to meet him on the island for something, but he didn't see her. He sat down on the steps thinking she was getting ready, but then he heard it.

"No, Meelo! Don't you're gonna rip my fur pelt!" a voice belonging to Korra warned.

"It's not that big of a deal, Korra. You've had that thing for like three years, and it's not like you need it, you're not in the South Pole," a voice of Kandice mentioned.

"Shut up! It's not like you're trying to help me! Wait, where's Ikki?"

Mako had enough of waiting, something was up. He got up and entered the dormitories to see the airbending kids running around, or well on their air scooters, going from room to room while Korra was chasing them. The airbenders then did a turn and bended right past him while Korra didn't notice him and tackled him to the ground.

Korra had her hands beside both sides of his face while she was straddling his waist. She was caught off guard by her tackling him, thinking she tackled Kandice. She then noticed the position they were in and blushed.

"Well this is a nice greeting," he joked, but sounded kind of serious.

"No, it's not," she defended.

"Well, if it's not then why are you still on me?" He grinned.

"Shut up," she replied while her blush became more noticeable. She held her hand out and helped him up. "Why are you here? Not that I don't want you here, but why?"

"Kandice called earlier saying that you wanted me to meet me here for something. I'm guessing I fell into another one of her tricks," he guessed while rubbing the back of his neck.

"Well since you're here, you can help me control these animals. They've been so hyper since dinner and I can't control them. Rohan is either crawling or walking somewhere. Meelo has ripped and puked on my fur pelt. Ikki knocked over a couple of vases. Jinora, well she hasn't done anything wrong yet, and boy Kandice is being so lazy and won't help."

"Well, why are they hyper?"

"How should I know? Just help me," she pleaded.

Mako looked behind him to where the kids went off and then looked behind Korra. He saw there were no kids and he didn't hear any either. "Well, where are they first of all?"

"Probably the dining room. Follow me." She grabbed his hand and took him to the dining room where they didn't except the sight they saw.

Kandice was sitting in front of them acting out something, but Korra recognized it as one of the story's their father used to tell them and act out. She then noticed it one Kandice's hand, it was small, but she saw it. Her hand read 'Enjoy Him.'

Korra wasn't sure if Mako saw it or not, but she pulled him out of the dining room then to her room. She didn't exactly understand why she wrote that on her hand or why she was watching the kids when she was supposed to, but whatever it was she wasn't going to pass up the opportunity to have some alone time with Mako. She sat down on the edge of her bed while patting the spot next to her so Mako would sit next to her.

"What was up with Kandice?" he asked as he sat next to her.

"I don't know, but I think she can handle the kids until Tenzin and Pema get home. Tenzin did say she could help so I won't get a lecture from him. Anyways, I hope you're not mad that we can't actually go out tonight. If I leave this island Tenzin will kill me."

"It's ok, I at least get to spend some time with you," he stated as he moved his face closer to catch her lips, but she turned her head away.

"Mako, no, as much as I want to kiss you we can't. With Kandice and those airbending kids in the house any of them could pop in at any moment." He didn't know it, but she was smirking.

"Oh come on, Korra. I get one day off from training and you won't even kiss me. I probably won't get another day off until I'm done with my training, and I still have another month's worth," he noted as he wrapped his arm around her waist to bring her closer.

She turned her face around and grabbed him by his scarf and crushed his lips onto hers. He was surprised by it, but quickly responded. She then pulled her lips off of his, but pushed her forehead onto his while smiling. "I was only kidding," she then gave him a short kiss on the lips then pulled away again, "but if we get caught by one of them it's your fault," she warned as she crushed her lips onto his to resume what she started.

"Tenzin, I don't think it was a good idea to leave Korra to babysit," Pema acknowledged as she saw the main hallway messed up.

"Where are the kids?" Tenzin seethed as he stomped his way to the dining room.

What he didn't except was to see Jinora and Ikki sleeping on the table's cushions and Meelo sleeping on the table with his mouth wide open. He also didn't except to see Kandice in the corner, sleeping, with her back against the wall with Rohan in her arms asleep.

"Well, I guess we could have Kandice babysit again before she leaves. She actually got the kids to go to sleep." Pema was surprised that all of them were asleep. She walked over and took Rohan out of her arms. In the process she saw what she had written on her hand, and she had to make sure Tenzin wouldn't go looking for Korra. "Hey, Tenzin, why don't you carry the kids to their rooms?" she asked as she handed Rohan to him.

"But I have to find Korra."

"I'll take care of it."

He seemed reluctant to let her do it, but he carried Rohan in the direction of his room. Pema was relieved that he actually let her go find Korra, and she knew exactly where to look, well if she was still on the island.

She walked to Korra's room and opened the doors to find a surprising sight. Korra was sitting in Mako's lap with her face buried in the crook of his neck while Mako had his back and head against the wall with his hands wrapped around her waist. Pema wasn't mad, but just a bit surprised. She closed the doors before Tenzin would come and look for her. She walked back to the dining room and found Tenzin picking Meelo up.

"Did you find her?"

"Yes, she's in her room sleeping. Everything is fine," she answered as she walked over to him. "Tenzin, she doesn't deserve a lecture in the morning. The kids are fine and asleep and the house isn't up in flames or rocks. So do me a favor and don't yell or lecture her in the morning."

Tenzin sighed knowing she was right the kids were fine and the house wasn't totally destroyed. "Alright," he agreed as he walked Meelo to his room.

Pema knew what it was like being a teenager girl craving attention from a guy, but if she took it too far it would lead to consequences and she knew she didn't need them at such a young age. She knew she had to talk to her later.

What happened with Kandice? Why'd she write that and take care of the kids? Oh boy what would've happened if Tenzin found Mako and Korra in her room…alone? Next chapter takes place in the Southern Water Tribe. Don't really have anything else to say, but please review: )
