Korra's POV
As soon as the ferry docked, I ran to the house. I had no idea how to dress for a date, let alone what to do on one. I needed Pema's help.
"Pema!" I said, running in the house. "I really need your help."
"Of course dear. What is it?" She asked.
"So I have a date tonight. And I need help with everything." I stated.
"Okay. I have the perfect thing for you to wear. I'll go get it." Pema said, then walked off.
I waited in my room for Pema for what seemed forever. I was nervous. What do you do on dates? I'm not romantic. Ugh. I am so screwed.
Pema walked in, holding the most beautiful dress I had ever seen. The dress was a light, pale blue, strapless, with ruffles. When I put it on, it fit perfectly. It was beautiful. Then Pema started working on my hair. After she brushed it all out she made it all perfectly straight. She said it was already pretty down.
"Pema. This is beautiful. Thank you." I told her, giving her a hug.
"Anytime. Now go enjoy your date." She said and shoved me out the door.
As soon as I stepped up Mako got off the ferry. I was stunned. He was wearing a suit, with his scarf (of course) and holding fire lillies.
"Woah." He said, stunned. "You look, beautiful."
I blushed furiously. He offered his arm, and I took it. We then got on the ferry.
"So, where are we going?" I asked.
"That," he said looking at me, "is the surprise."
When the ferry got back to the main part of the city we started walking until Mako stopped me. He then took his scarf, and tied it around my eyes.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"You can't see the surprise until we get there. Just trust me. Until then don't touch the blind fold." He said.
We were walking for quiet a while when we suddenly stopped. We were standing in grass, I could feel it brush my ankle. Mako had let go of me, and stepped behind me. He then gently removed my blind fold, and I opened eyes.
There was a blanket, layed out with a picnic basket. Candles surrounded us, in a wide circle. Fireflies flew above us. I didn't know what to say.
"Mako. This is beautiful. How- When- When did you do all this?"
"A few hours ago. The hardest part was catching the fireflies. Those suckers never stop." He said, and we both laughed.
We sat down on the blanket, eating sandwiches Mako had made. We had finished eating then I sat up.
"Okay! Question time." I said excitedly.
"What?" he asked, now sitting up.
"I ask a question, you answer, you ask a question, I answer. I'll go first. When did you first start liking me?" I asked.
"Well, it was a long time ago. With in the first year I had a crush on you, but it went away. Then about two years ago when we started Pro-Bending was the big crush. Which is still on going." He said smiling. "Now, what do you like most about me?" he asked.
"Oh it's got to be your hair." We started laughing. "Or how every time I get sad you always tell em it will be okay. And it was okay." I paused for a moment. "Do you think I am a good Avatar?" I needed an answer.
"Korra." he said, moving closer, then reached for my hand. "You are an amazing Avatar. No matter what anyone says." He smiled. "Are you a good dancer?"
"What? No." Mako stood up, pulling me up too. "No Mako I can't dance." I said, but he pulled me up anyway.
"Come on. Try. Just follow my lead." He said, wrapping his arms around my waist, bringing me closer.
I put my arms around his neck. We swayed back and forth. He spun me around a few times, laughing when I almost fell. Then, we locked eyes. Mako then leaned in, and kissed me. There was no hesitation to kiss him back. I played with his hair in my fingers. He then pulled back, twirled me, then spoke. "Did I mention how beautiful you look?" We then proceeded to kiss again.
After we pulled away, we laced our fingers together, and walked back to the island. Woah. I thought. That kiss in the gym, that was my first kiss. And Mako's first kiss. I smiled at my thought, as we made it back to Air Temple Island.
"I'll see you tomorrow beautiful." he said, then kissed my forehead.
I walked in inside, only to be greeted by Ikki and Jinora.
"Korra! It's that handsome firebender boy! Did he take you on a date? Ooh! Did he kiss you?" Ikki asked a million questions.
I ignored them, and headed to my room. I changed out of the dress, and laid down on the bed. I fell asleep, only to dream about our wonderful first date.
There it is! Their first date. Oh but what's coming next? Continue reading thanks!
