Korra's POV:

I was sitting beside Katara, who was taking a nap, when I heard a carriage. It surprised me, because we wasn't expecting anyone. I got up from the chair and walked silently out of the room, as not to wake her. When I had closed the door to kataras room, I hurried outside to find out who it could be. But I didn't expect what I saw. It was one of the royal carriages! My heart skipped a beat. Could it be him? I shook my head, of course it wasn't him. We had already agreed that it was goodbye for them. Besides I had Tahno now.

The door opened and revealed a very missed person. Asami. We didn't really have time to talk at the ball, but maybe we could do that now. I still hadn't heard how her honeymoon went.

I smiled brightly and ran towards her, she opened her arms to hug me and I hugged her back. "Oh Korra. I've missed you so much!" She said before she released me.

"I've missed you too Asami," The smile on her lips grew. "Even though it only is a couple of days since we last saw"

"That might be, but it have felt like a lot longer"

"Come on, I'll make us some tea. Then we can talk." I took her hand and almost dragged her inside, she laughed lightly at my eagerness. But what can I say? I missed her.

When we entered the house we were greeted by Anastasia.

"Just go and sit down in the living room, I'll bring you the tea."

I gave her a smile "Thank you." I said.

She nodded and went to the kitchen, and I dragged Asami to the living room.

"Sit down. And tell me all about your honeymoon, I never got to hear about it." I asked her haoping that we could stay on that subject.

I smiled. She sat down on the couch and I sat down beside her.

"Oh, there isn't much to tell. It was really romantic, and Bolin is the best husband I could ever ask for." She smiled brightly back at me. I always thought that her and Bolin were perfect for each other.

Anastasia then came with two cups of tea, She put them on the table in front of us and smiled. "Thanks Anastasia." I said and looked at her with a smile as well. "

No problem." She said and walked out.

Asami took one of the cups and took a sip.

"So how is everything?" I asked and took a sip myself.

She sighed "I didn't come her to small talk Korra."
"Oh." I said with a confused expression.

That took me by surprise, she always wanted to small talk.

"Why are you here then?"

She sat her cup on the coffee table and looked at me.

"I came here to talk to you, about Mako." She admitted, she seemed worried.

When I didn't reply she sighed again and explained

"Korra we have to stop the wedding. He can't marry Sophia, he doesn't love her. He loves you and you love him! You know that as well as I do."

I shook my head a few times "what?" I kept my eyes on the tea, I still had I my hands around.

"Please Korra, you have to help us stop the wedding." She sounded desperate, and when I looked up at her, her expression told me that she was.

This time I was the one who sighed, I couldn't do anything even if I tried.

"I can't do anything about his wedding Asami. He chose to do it. We already agreed that, it will be best if he just marries Princess Sophia."

"But. He loves YOU Korra, not her."

"I don't think so. If he did love me, we would have been married by now. But we're not. He's made his choice." I said. He didn't love me. I wasn't even sure if he ever did. Otherwise we wouldn't have been in this situation. Or that was what I keept telling myself. "Besides. I'm engaged to Tahno." I whispered, but still loud enough for her to hear me.

"W-what?!" She shouted, her eyes wide open.

"I'm engaged to Tahno." I said a little louder. I knew she heard me the first time, but I guessed that she needed to hear it again.

"Who's he?!" She demanded. Her eyes threw daggers at me.

"My friend." Was my simple answer. My voice wasn't as confident as I wanted it to be. "You saw him at the party"

"That guy? Do you even love him?" Her voice was a lot softer than before, almost disappointed. I made eye contact with her, but looked away quickly.

"I... I Care about him." I told her. No. I didn't love him, and I probably never would. But the man I loved, would get married to another woman in a short period of time. I would never get him back, so why even hope? Besides Tahno was a great friend, and he really did love me.

"That's not a reason to get married. You know that." She sounded desperate again. Desperate to make me change my mind on my upcoming wedding.

"Yeah I know. But. It's the only way I can take care of Katara properly. Besides he's a good person."

"But-but," she sounded like she was about to cry. I didn't want to hear what she had planned to say, so I cut her off.

"I've made my decision Asami. It's the only right thing to do, and you can't change my mind." I said, and made it clear that this conversation was over.

"There really is nothing I can say to change your mind?"

I met her eyes and did my best to keep my eyes from betraying the feelings I was feeling. I knew deep down that I wanted to stop Mako's wedding, but I couldn't.

"No" I then said, and got up from the sofa. "Aren't you busy at the castle anyway? With the wedding being tomorrow"

"We do, but-"

Asami followed me out of the house.

"Then we better say goodbye to each other." I opened the door to the carriage, and after giving me a look she sat in. "We too have a wedding to plan for tomorrow."

With that I turned around and left Asami shocked behind me.

"Go" I told the man sitting in from on the carriage. He nodded and I looked after the carriage as it drove away from the house.

I was mean against Asami, I knew that. But what else could I do? Asami wasn't going to give up on Mako and I, but I knew that I had to. And it was really hard when someone kept telling me that I loved him.

I turned around and walked into the house.

"Korra what-?" Anastasia asked as I walked into the room. "Did Asami leave already?"

"Yes, they had a wedding to plan" I sat down at the kitchen table. "And so do we."

Mako POV

"How does this feel, your highness?"

I stared into the mirror, my eyes running down the clothes I would be wearing tomorrow when I would be married. And I hated it.

"Fine" I just said, and the servant bowed. It was my last fitting before the 'Big day', and I didn't want to do anything else but climb into my bed and sleep the whole day away. But I couldn't. I had a duty, for this kingdom, myself and Sophia.

"You can change now, your highness" The servant told me, and with a sigh I went behind the big screen to change.

I threw the clothes over it and heard it being caught by the servant, but I didn't hear a word from him, as I took other clothes on.

"What are you doing?" I heard a voice as I walked out from behind the screen.

Bolin was standing up against the door, his green eyes staring at me while Iroh stood behind him

"I just had the last fitting before tomorrow" I told him voice dripping with the sadness I was feeling inside.

"You did put yourself in this mess, Mako." Iroh told him. "You are the only one who can get out of it again"

"I am not going to cancel the wedding, so just drop it," I went over to my bed and sat down. I didn't want to fight with my brother, but he wasn't going to change my mind.

"Don't you love Korra anymore?" Bolin stared at me.

"You already know the answer to that"

"Then fight for her, Mako" Iroh said as he walked towards me. "If you really love her, then don't give up on her and marry another. Marry her!"

"I can't do that!" I almost yelled at him. "It is too late. I can't do this to the kingdom again. It need a king and queen, and Sophia can make that!"

"It's-"

"Boys!" Asami came running into the room and interrupted whatever it was Bolin wanted to say.

"What are you doing here, Asami?" He asked instead. "I thought you went to talk with Korra while we…." Bolin stopped himself when Asami and Iroh gave him a look, but I knew what he was going to say.

"You are trying to get us together aren't you?" I asked them tired.

"I have no idea what you're talking about" Bolin lied. "What happened Asami?"

I opened my mouth to stop Bolin from changing the subject, but Asami talked before I could.

"She threw me out"

"What?" Iroh stared in shock at her, and I have to admit that I too felt like doing it.

"Korra wouldn't-" I then said. It didn't sound like the Korra I knew.

But what did I know anymore? She could have changed during the last six months we were apart.

"Well she did" Asami snapped at me. "But that's not all."

"What?" Bolin stared at her. "What could be worse?"

"Korra's getting married" She when said. "Tomorrow."

For a second it seemed like my whole world fell apart. Korra was getting married. Korra. Married. No! It couldn't be. She couldn't! Could she?

"No.." I when mumbled. "She can't be. She can't-"

"What?!" Asami snapped at me again, making me look up at her. "You can marry but she can't? You know just as well as everything that Katara isn't going to live forever, and then what is Korra going to do? A woman without a husband or family has nothing, and you know it!"

It seemed like Asami's word woke me up. She was right. Korra needed a husband, and it couldn't be me. We cleared that the last time we saw each other. But the thought of her marrying another man, loving another man hurt me more than anything. Was this how she felt when she found out that I was marrying another woman?

"Mako, where are you going?" I heard Bolin asked, and I suddenly realized that I was heading out of my room.

"I'm.. I'm going to see Tenzin" I just lied as I hurried out of the door.

I needed to get away, think before tomorrow. I wasn't going to cancel the wedding, but I still needed to sort out my feelings.
