Chapter 35

That afternoon, Lin finally let Jade try on her new police uniform. Jade was excited as she felt the earth within the metal and proudly bended the uniform on her body.

Lin smiled and finally said, "Congratulations, you have finally mastered metalbending. You are now prepared to learn how to use it in the police force."

"Thank you. I had a wonderful teacher teach me." Jade told her as she took off her uniform in her closet. Jade's smile got bigger if it could.

"Mom, I'm really excited to start the training. You helped me with a lot of it."

"Yes, most of the forms we done are ones they use. Also, they help you out and they take you down to the station to view how life is down at the station." Lin said, letting out a little scoff.

Jade scoffed and rolled her eyes, "Hah, I've seen plenty. They probably won't even let us onto the battlefield."

Lin laughed along with her as they left Jade's room. Jade went into the kitchen and began making lunch for them both. She started cutting up komodo dragon chicken when a knock was heard.

Lin stood up from the couch and went to see who it was. She chuckled softly and rolled her eyes as she opened the door, revealing yellow and orange robes standing on the other side of the door.

"Hello Tenzin." Lin greeted, making Jade perk her head up from skinning the skin off the chunk of meat. She quickly checked to make sure that there were some vegetables and extra rice as Tenzin strode into the room.

"Hello dad." Jade greeted with a smile as she continued skinning the meat. Tenzin cringed at the site of meat, but quickly brushed it off when Lin stepped back into the room.

"Hello Jade. What are making?" He asked curiously as he made his way towards the counter.

"It's seasoned komodo dragon chicken with rice. I will also prepare extra spring rolls for you." She said as she placed the meat on a pan and began seasoning the meat. She turned around and opened the oven, making a heat wave hit her in the face as she placed the pan in.

Then, she got out the ingredients for the rolls and began making them. Tenzin watched her as her hands moved around, placing ingredients in as she rolled them up. After she finished with the rolls, she started the rice.

"I'm impressed. You really do know how to cook." Tenzin complimented her as she took the chicken out, the aroma roaming the apartment. Lin was busy setting the table as Tenzin made tea.

A few minutes later, Jade served herself and Lin chicken with rice, and for Tenzin a plate of rice with steamed vegetables with rolls on the side. They sat down in silence, the sound of them sipping their tea, their utensils hitting the plate, and the sound of them chewing their food.

"So, how have you two been?" Tenzin asked, relieving the tension between them and starting a conversation after five minutes.

"I signed up for the police academy today." Jade announced, a big smile forming as she took a sip of her tea.

Tenzin spit put his tea and said, "What? Lin why did you sign her up for the police academy? It's dangerous and she's still learning metalbending."

"Calm down. First off, she wanted to do this and lastly, she mastered the skills and she has all the things and training required for this." Lin explained as she took a bite of her chicken, savoring the flavor.

"Jade, are you sure you want to do this? You can get hurt." Tenzin, being a concerned father asked her.

"Oh course I'm sure about this. I want to become a police officer and someday, become the chief of police." She told him.

Lin listened as they exchanged their remarks of Jade becoming a police officer.

"Don't you want to be a councilwomen? The job is less stressfull than running an entire police force."

Jade rolled her eyes before saying, "Hell no. That job is boring. I don't want to be couped up in an office all day long, filling out paperwork, making new laws. That has to be the most boring job in the entire world."

Tenzin's face went from being calm to an enraged red face.

"Tomorrow morning, I want you to be ready. I'm taking you down to the council building. You will know how to run the city, make new laws, and fill out paperwork." He exclaimed, having a triumphant smile on his face.

"I can't. I'm going to get some things for my dorm." She told him, smirking when his smile dropped from his face.

Lin also smirked when his smile faded. She slightly chuckled and continued eating her early dinner.

"Well, dinner was amazing Jade. But now I have to go to work." Lin annouced as she got up to put her plate in the sink.

"Yes, dinner was amazing. My compliments to the chef." Tenzin slightly mocked, earning a small punch from Jade.

Lin left the dining room to put on her uniform. She had on a white tank top and her work pants on during dinner so she just bended the top piece on. She clipped her hair up and adjusted her belt.

She came out of her room and saw Tenzin and Jade in a small bickering fit as they both cleared awau the dinner remains.

"Why would you want to become a police woman? I think you'll make a fine councilwoman." Tenzin said, drifting away as he imagined Jade as a councilwoman.

"All I'm saying is that my main interest is becoming a policewoman. I want to become chief someday too." Jade said back as she filled the sink up with water.

Lin finally had enough bickering from her lover and daughter, so she put two of her fingers in her mouth and made a sharp whistle come out.

Tenzin and Jade stopped and covered their ears as Lin whistled.

When Lin finished, she spoke, "Listen, I'm tired of hearing you two bicker. Now, I have to leave and Tenzin, you should too."

She opened the door with Tenzin following her. When they were a few feet away from the apartment, Tenzin snuck his arm around her waist and kissed her.

"Tenzin, as much as I want to continue this, we both have to leave. Remember, I have to go to work and you have a loving family to go to."

Tenzin reluctantly pulled away as they continued walking diwn the steps of the apartment. When they reached the front door, Tenzin quickly pecked her cheek and they went their seperate ways.

When Tenzin arrived home, he walked into the kitchen and saw Pema talking to someone on the phone.

"So, do you have a plan for the upcoming event?" He heard her ask the person on the phone. A few minutes have passed before she spoke again.

"Perfect, I'll be there with my family to make sure you take her. Jade Beifong will no longer be Tenzin's life again." She said, an evil smile appeared on her face as she hung up the phone.

"Pema, what are you planning against Lin and Jade?" Tenzin finally spoke, making Pema turn around.

"Tenzin? How long have you been home for?" She asked, a guilty look coming on her face, her lip quivering and tears forming in her eyes.
