Tonraq dreamt of walking Korra down the aisle. Towards the girl at the altar wearing the same white dress as her. They kissed in front of all their friends and family.

He couldn't be happier for them.

Wait. Wait, why am I smiling? Happy? This isn't happy!

He woke up sour. "Ugh... Where am I?" One of the guest rooms at Air Temple Island. Probably. Still groggy, he looked over at the woman laying beside him, and raised a tired eyebrow. "Hey, Senna, did you bleach your skin or somethi- OH MY GOD!" he snapped completely awake, rubbing his eyes to make sure they weren't lying to him.

A naked Pema yawned, rolling over onto his thigh. "Morning, Chief," she winked, drawing circles on the bumps of his bare stomach. "That was a wild time we had last night, wasn't it?"

He ran to the door screaming.

When he opened it, he saw a topless Tenzin standing opposite him in the other doorframe, four feet away just on the other side of the hall. He also looked to have just woken up.

Tonraq: "Tenzin! I- I have no idea what happened last night b-but I think I might've slept with your-"

He caught the wide eyes of Senna in the bed behind Tenzin.

Tonraq: (-_-)

After booting Tenzin to the other room and slamming the door shut, he crossed his arms at Senna. "You had sex with Tenzin!?"

Senna: "Oh, I'm sorry, what were you about to say to him? 'I think I slept with your...?'"

Tonraq: "Uhh... His..."

Senna: ...

Tonraq: "...His-"

Senna: "Your only option here is 'wife.'"

Tonraq: "Yeah, well, we could've just been sleeping in the same bed without anything sexual going on."

Senna: "Uh huh. So why's your junk out, Reverend?"

Tonraq looked down at his lack of clothes. "Goddammit," he sighed, sitting on the bed with his back hunched. "When did we become swingers?"

"Hey, we were drunk," Senna said, rubbing his back. "We all had the same reaction when we woke up."

"Right," he agreed. "Apart from Pema."

Tonraq felt her hand halt completely on his back as Senna's eyes narrowed.

Tonraq: "But that's not the point. There's something else I wanted to talk about besides our life choices."

Senna: "What's that?"

"Our daughters life choices," he said. "I had a dream, where... Korra was getting married to... Asami..." he turned around to survey her reaction, of which he found none. "...And I'm beginning to get a little suspicious about them... I know it sounds crazy, but, I think their relationship might be a little more than... platonic."

Senna: "Oh," she said retreating back to a sitting position against the headboard on her side of the bed. "I see."

Tonraq: "Well? What do you think?"

Senna: "Me? Oh, well, y'know," she grabbed the glass on the bedside table and put it to her mouth to muffle her words, "Well, I think *mumble*mumble*mumble*..."

Tonraq: "Senna?"

Senna: "Yes?"

Tonraq: "That glass is empty."

Her shoulders fell as she set it back on the table.

Tonraq: "Wait... Wait, Senna... You knew...!"

Senna: "Ohh, they may or may not have mentioned it to me," she sang, gesturing her hand dismissively, "in passing."

Tonraq: "IN PASSING!?"

Senna: "Honey, relax! It's not a big deal-"

Tonraq: "How long!? How long have you known!?"

Senna: "*sigh* Don't you remember anything from last night?"

Tonraq: "What happened last night? Apart from our little... arrangement..."


Yesterday...

The plan was for Pema to cook for everyone, but she had started drinking already. Heavily.

Tenzin: "-Something I asked JINORA to keep from happening!"

Jinora: "Ju call me, Dad?" she slurred. "A'll bi right thur, jus gemie uh secun..."

Rohan waved his hand in front of her face as her eyes blinked asynchronously. "Is Jinny gonna be like this forever, Daddy?"

Tenzin: "She just might."

The next best cook was undeniably Opal-

Senna: "Excuse me?"

...Nobody turned to face her.

So, - Opal - but she was only arriving in ten minutes.

Mako: "-Apparently. But she's been saying that for the last hour!"

And it was too late to start now, Bolin had already ordered-

Bolin: "PIZZAAAA! Finally! There's also vegetarian options available for you airbending folks."

The night had only devolved from there...

The music was still playing at a sensible volume when Korra came in late and immediately found her girlfriend. "What did I miss?"

Asami: "Just the usual. Pema's drunk, Bolin ordered pizza, Jinora's a lightweight."

Korra: "Okay, good, so we're just getting started."

Asami: "Pretty much." She shovelled barbecue lays into her mouth. "Mm. Also, your parents are here," she said through the chewing.

Korra: "What!?" she panicked, "They weren't supposed to be here until tomorrow!"

Asami shrugged one of her shoulders, "Guess your dad finished up early."

Korra: "Oh-my-god-there-he-is!"

He was jiving about the table in the middle, going in for another slice.

Asami: "Great, let's go tell him about us."

Korra took a deep breath. "Okay."

Asami got up and walked about ten feet before she realised that Korra remained seated.

Korra: "Oh, you were talking about like right now?"

Asami: "Korra. Everyone here has known that we're dating for the past three years. Everyone. Except your father."

Korra stood. "You're right," she said resolutely. "Let's go."

Tonraq dropped his drink and slice of pizza on the table and wiped his hands on his clothes before hugging her. "Korra. Good to see you, I missed you."

"I missed you too, Dad. I thought you and Mom were only getting here tomorrow?"

Tonraq: "The South's been pretty calm for a change recently," he said, almost regretful. "Besides, we wanted to surprise you!"

"Well, I'm thoroughly surprised!" she laughed uncomfortably.

"Hi, Chief Tonraq," Asami uncharacteristically meandered into frame with her hands behind her back.

Tonraq: "Oh, Hi, Asami. Hey, Korra, your mother's over there, go say Hi-"

Korra: "I will. But, first..." She made sure she was standing by her partner when she said it, "Asami and I have something we want to talk to you about."

Tonraq slightly hesitated picking his drink back up. "You do?" he asked, noticing the air of seriousness.

Korra gulped. "...Yes... Asami and I... ..."

Tonraq: ...?

Asami: ...

Korra: "M-Me and Asami..."

Tonraq: "You and Asami what?"

Korra flinched. "Me and Asami are... dating..." She shut her eyes tight, wincing at how he might react. She only opened her eyes at the sound of glass creaking and cracking. It was the drink in her father's hand. "D-... Dad...?"

The glass exploded into fragments, its contents poured on the floor, leaving only a massive fist in its place.

A fearful Korra backed away from her father as his chest expanded and contracted from his ever-growing anger. "You..." he stated with a voice that sounded like that of an evil spirit. "You have disappointed me for the last time, Korra!" His fist rotated until the fingers pointed back at him, ready for a blow to the stomach, then, "HMMH!" he delivered the punch into the gut of Korra's love.

Korra: "ASAMIIII!"

Senna: "Tonraq, what are you doing!?"

Lin: "Jesus Christ!"

Asami's body was bent forward from the strike, her black hair falling over and covering her face as she said, "You've rejected us then." And she lifted her head slowly to meet the eyes of her attacker. "So you've chosen death."

Kai: "Oh, you done pissed her off now!"

Tonraq looked down where he thought he'd made contact with her, but between his knuckles and her leather was an equalist glove. The electricity ran him through, "Aaaahhhhhrrrrhhhh," and Asami didn't stop, even when Korra pleaded her to.

Through the sparking pain, he managed the strength to stand up and punch Asami across the room.

Bolin: "Stop, you guys!"

Tenzin: "This is madness!"

Asami got right back up, screamed, "Bring it, old man!" and speared him to the ground, immediately getting up to soak in the cheers.

Meelo: "YEAHH! ASAMIII! WOOOOO!"

Ikki: "PUT THAT CLOSE-MINDED BIGOT IN HIS PLACE!"

Tonraq sat up suddenly, his eyes rolled back into his head. Asami was startled when she turned around and the burly man took advantage by wrapping his giant hand around her neck and choke slamming her.

Asami rolled around the floor in pain.

Rohan: "BOOOOO! YOU SUCK!"

Tonraq then ran to one end of the room to turn back around and run to her with more momentum for a people's elbow, but she'd gotten up with enough time to kick his thigh and deliver a stunning stone-cold stunner. Then she climbed up on the table, dragging the dazed man up with her to pedigree him through the table, sending pizza and confectionary flying everywhere.

Everyone scrambled to stop the all-out war before things were taken too far, while Korra sat, hugged her knees and covered her ears, rocking back and forth, waiting for it all to end.


That's what Korra imagined would happen if she told her father that she and Asami were dating.

In reality:

Korra gulped. "Asami and I... ..."

Tonraq: ...?

Asami: ...

Korra: "M-Me and Asami... ..." Nope, nope, nooooope, she wasn't doing this. She wasn't ready yet. She looked around for help, she knew if she looked at Asami she'd only urge her to come out with it. Her mother wasn't looking this way anymore, more concerned with Pema. Mako and Bolin were engaged in conversation with Opal who'd just arrived. On the table was... "...Me and Asami... were wondering if you like rum."

Tonraq: "...Uhh... Yeah, I guess..."

Korra: "How about some captain morgan?" She avoided Asami's leer as she grabbed a bottle and poured him some before handing it to him.

Tonraq: "Just straight rum?-"

Asami: "Excuse us, one second," she pulled Korra away. "What are you doing?" she shouted in a whisper.

Korra: "Are you prepared to defend your heavyweight title against that freak of nature?"

Asami: "...WHAT!?"

Korra: "My Dad has a 133 and two thirds percents chance of losing his shit when he finds out we're banging! The numbers don't lie, Asami! And they spell disaster for us if we come out to him! If we get him drunk enough, the chances of him winning at Sacrifice drastic go down!"

Asami: "... ...WHAT!?"

Korra noticed her father taking a sip. "That's why I love you, Daddy!" She wrapped herself around his arm. "Because you neck down bottles of rum without ever mixing it with anything at all!"

Asami: "Daddy?" She folded her arms and muttered. "I thought she only ever called me Daddy..."

"Hahaha!" Tonraq blushed. "O-Of course I drink straight rum! Wh-What kinda chump do you take me for!?" And he backed it down his throat.

Korra winked and gave Asami a thumbs up.

From then on, every time they met eyes across the room, Tonraq grabbed the nearest bottle of alcohol and poured it into his mouth, making Korra smile.


A few hours later...

Korra spied her father. "Think he's had enough?" she asked Asami.

Tonraq: "I GOT A FEELING! WOOOO HOOOOO THAT TONIGHT'S GONNA BE A GOOD NIGHT! THAT TONIGHT'S GONNA BE A GOOD NIGHT! THAT TONIGHT'S GONNA BE A GOOD GOOD NIIIIIGHT!"

Asami: "Ya think?"

Korra: "Well, he's just dancing having a good time and enjoying himself."

Asami: "He's singing the wrong black eyed peas song."

Korra listened to what the speakers were actually playing.

PUMP IT! LOUDER! PUMP IT! LOUDER!

Korra: "Okay, I think it's time. Let's do this."

Tonraq's jaw dropped to the floor when he saw his daughter approach him. "Oh my god, Korra! There's no way you're at the same party as me!" he slurred. "That's so coinkidinkal!"

Asami slapped her forehead.

Korra: "Yeah, I can't believe it," she dismissed. "Anyway, Dad, there's something else Asami and I want to tell you about. The truth is... We're bi. And we're dating. Each other."

Tonraq looked confused. "What? We're bi and dating each other? But we can't date each other, we're-"

Korra: "No, no, Dad, not me and you - Me and Asami."

Confusion turned to genuine elated shock. His mouth opened wide enough to stuff one of those bottles down it.

Tonraq: "THAT'S BEA-UTIFUL!"

"It is?" Korra approached cautiously. "Really? You're okay with this? You're not mad? You don't want to swanton bomb Asami from the top rope?"

Asami: "Wh-"

Tonraq: "OF COURSE NOT!" He grabbed both of them and pulled them close either side of him. "I WANNA ANNOUNCE IT TO THE WORLD!"

Asami: "Wait-"

Tonraq: "HEY, EVERYBODY!"

Korra: "Uh, Dad-"

Tonraq: "KORRA AND ASAMI ARE GOING OUT! MY DAUGHTER'S GAYYY!"

The entire room stopped to look over at them as Asami facepalmed again.

Korra: "Dad, stop! You're embarrassing us!"

Tonraq: "Why is no one reacting? Do they all already know?"

They wrestled themselves out of his arms.

Korra: "Uh, yeah, of course they know! I wanted to save you for last! You know, to surprise you?"

Tonraq: "Oh, Korra! That's so sweet!"

In the back, Zhu Li told Varrick, "Remind me to share a drink with the Southern Chief next time I want something from him."

Tonraq: "Welcome to the family, Asami!"

Asami: "Uhhh, we're not getting married or anything..."

Tonraq: "Well, you should!"

Korra: "We're glad that you're so supportive!" She slapped his back. "Good talk, Dad!"

Tonraq: "My baby girl's found love!" he said to himself when they left. "I'm so happy!"


Tonraq: "I'm so angry! How could they keep this from me for three years!? How could you keep this from me for three years!? How could everyone keep this from me!? FOR THREE YEARS!"

Senna: "Because it wasn't our secret to tell, and we all knew exactly how you were going to react."

"RRRAAAAAHHHHH!" Tonraq ripped the door off its hinges, broke it over his knee, threw it on the ground and stomped on it until it turned into a pile of splinters.

Senna: "Okay, maybe our predictions were a little conservative, actually. And so are you by the looks of it."

Tonraq turned around grunting. "Is that supposed to be funny?"

Senna: "...Yes?"

Tonraq turned around to see Mako outside the obliterated door. He was just passing by but now he had, like, circles for eyes because he was fixated on Senna, who turned completely red and put the covers over herself.

Tonraq: "You looking at my wife?" he asked intimidatingly.

Mako: "...Yes?"

Tonraq: "*gasp* That means your still straight!"

Mako: "What? Of course I'm straight! I dated the two hottest girls on this show!"

Pema shouted from the bed in the other room, "And drove them to the other team!"

Mako: (-_-)

Tonraq: "Honestly, I thought you had a thing with that Wu character."

Mako: "Christ! If I was gay for anyone what makes you think I'd be gay for him!?"

Tonraq: "I must be reading too much fanfiction..."

Senna: "There isn't a lot that involves us..." she pouted.

Mako: "Sure there is, Misses Senna! Haven't you read the one where I come to the South Pole and we bang in the kitchen?"

Senna: "I was talking about me and my husband! ...But yes, I have read that one."

Tonraq: "Haha! That's a good one Mako! Ever read the one where I wear your ass like a boot?"

Mako: "...Is that a rhetorical question because I've actually read something similar-"

Tonraq: "Ew, yes it was rhetorical, jesus! Maybe we should all lay off the fanfiction for a while."

Mako: ...

Senna: ...

Tonraq: "... ...I'm kidding! Aaahhahahahah!"

Mako: "Ahahahaahaha!"

Senna: "Haaahahahaahaha!"

Tonraq: "Aahhhhaaaaa... But seriously, Mako, I need you to get back together with my daughter."

Mako: "I mean, I'd love to, but that's impossible, her and Asami have been going- oop!" He covered his mouth to keep the secret from spilling out.

Senna: "He knows, Mako."

Tonraq: "Yeah, I know they've been going oop this whole time behind my back, but now I do know, and that's why you're gonna get back with Korra."

Mako: "And what makes you think I'm gonna be able to do that?"

Tonraq: "Because I'm gonna be your wingman!"

Mako: "Are you sure this is gonna work?"

Tonraq: "Of course it'll work!"

Senna: "Why do I have the feeling this is gonna do anything but work?"
