Authors Note: Hey Guys. So I know that I haven't updated this story in a while and it maybe even longer this time around.

So just know that I will try to get back to this and all my other stories but I can't make any guarantees this point forward til I get things settled. Anyway, Hope you all enjoy this chapter. Later Gladiators!
Waiting for Iroh to come out of school, Korra was standing by a light post checking the time. She was always there 30 minutes a head of time. "Ten minutes to go," she said pressing the button on the side of her wrist watch.
"Got the time?" a woman's voice asked.
Korra looked up and saw a blonde haired beauty a few feet away from her. "Yeah its 5:20," she said with a friendly smile.
The woman let out a sigh of relief. "That's good to know," she commented. She pointed to the entrance of the school. "I'm waiting for my little sister and I wasn't sure if I made it," she said smiling back. "How about you?"
Korra wasn't sure how to word it. "Just waiting for my friend's kid..." she said finding it awkward to say aloud. "I watch him from time to time," she further explained to clear up any confusion.
"Well that's sweet of you," the woman said with a smile.
Her smile made Korra smile back the same way. "I guess..." she said downplaying it.
The woman looked around seeing more parents showing up. "Did you drive here?"
Korra shook her head no. "I usually take a cab or bus."
"Well if you need a ride I'd gladly give you one," the woman said pointing behind her at her jeep.
Korra looked over at her car and saw the aqua blue jeep by the curb. "Beautiful ride," she said admiring the color.
The woman had a smug smile on her face and said, "thanks," while hearing a bell ring.
Mya walked beside Iroh in a crowd of students toward the exit. "I'm hanging out with my big sister this weekend," she pulling up her book bag on her shoulder. "I haven't seen her since she had her last break," she said walking down the stairs. "What about you? What are you gonna do this weekend?" she asked curiously.
Iroh shrugged his shoulders as he walked down the stairs with her. "Not sure yet," he said seeing Korra in her usual spot.
Mya spotted her sister and ran down the rest of the stairs. "Aiko!" she said giving her a hug once she was close enough.
Iroh came up to Korra and extended his balled up fist to her.
Korra pumped fist with him. "You ready to go?" she asked while tousling his hair a bit.
"Yeah," Iroh said trying to fix his hair afterwards.
Korra chuckled at how he tried to remain cool in front of his little friend. "This nice lady here offered us a ride a few minutes ago," she said gesturing to the blonde beside her.
The woman realized she never introduced herself. "Hi. I'm Aiko," she said holding her hand up. "This is my little sister Mya," she said looking down at her sister.
Korra took note to their names and smiled. "I'm Korra and this is my spotter Iroh," she said putting her hand on his shoulder.
Iroh smiled at the title she gave him. "Hi," he said to Aiko.
"Iroh huh?" Aiko repeated. "I heard a lot about you," she said smiling at her baby sister.
"You have?" he asked with a raised brow.
Mya let out an annoyed groan. "Aiko..."
Aiko waved it off as if it were nothing. "Only good things I promise. So you all still up for that ride?" she asked looking back up at Korra.
Korra gave Iroh a quick look for approval and gave her a nod. "Sure," she agreed with a smile.
Aiko parked her jeep in front of their building. "Is this it?"
"Yeah it is," Korra answered taking off her seat belt.
Iroh did the same in the back seat. "See you Monday," he said to Mya.
Mya had a disappointed look on her face. "See you..."
Aiko noticed the gloomy tone of voice her sister used and tossed an idea in the air. "Hey," she said reaching for Korra's sleeve. "Would you both like to hang out sometime tomorrow?" she asked knowing it was a long shot. "Maybe watch a movie?"
Korra was taken back by the offer at first and thought on Iroh finally able to spend time with his friend outside of school. "I'll have to ask his mother first but I'm sure she'll approve," she said hoping she would.
Aiko took out her phone so they could exchange numbers. Once they did, Korra got out of the car with Iroh waiting on the side walk for her. "Call me," she said as her sister got into the passenger seat.
Korra closed the passenger side door once Mya got in. "Will do," she said holding up her phone. She tapped it against the palm of her hand when they drove down the street.
Once inside the building, Korra headed up the stairs with Iroh to their floor. "How do you feel about hanging out with Mya and her sister tomorrow?" she asked wondering if he was okay with it.
The look on Iroh's face was a wave of excitement. "Its gonna be awesome!" he said only to clear his throat. "I mean its cool," he said trying to devalue it by mimicking her nonchalant attitude.
Korra couldn't help but laugh. "Alright."
Korra finished washing dishes by the time Asami came home. "Hey," she greeted when the door opened.
Asami closed the front door and locked it again. "Hey," she greeted back. "How's everything?" she asked while taking off her jacket.
"Good so far," Korra answered. She wasn't sure if to ask directly or take a subtle approach. She walked into the living room where she was. "Do you have plans for tomorrow or work?"
Asami walked passed Korra and into the kitchen to put her food away. "Work. The month's not over with," she said opening up the fridge. By this time next week she would finally be able to get a break unless Kuvira had her way.
Korra understood the situation she was in and knew it would be a while before her actual day off. "Is it cool if me and Iroh hung out with one of his classmates tomorrow?"
Asami looked up from the fridge surprised. "Who?" she asked wanting more information then that.
Korra walked up to the bar and took a seat on a stool. "A girl named Mya. Her sister offered us a ride earlier and asked if we wanted to hang out tomorrow," she said explaining in detail.
Asami took out her ginseng green tea from the fridge and closed it. "Her sister?" she questioned with an inflection in awe.
Korra wasn't sure about her tone but proceeded. "Yeah her older sister Aiko."
"Oh boy..." Asami commented before taking a sip of her tea.
"What?" Korra asked a bit defensive.
Asami shook her head not wanting to go in depth. "No its nothing," she said walking back into the living room.
Korra got up from her stool and followed her. "No its something," she said gently pulling her arm to stop her. Once they locked eyes, Korra let her go. "Say it."
Asami stopped walking and looked her in the eye. "Its just... I know how you get," she said hoping that'd be enough.
"What do you mean, 'How I get?'" Korra repeated now offended.
"Alright," Asami said caving. She really didn't want to have this conversation but gave in to prove a point. "Do you find her attractive?"
Korra was taking back by her question. "Attractive?" she repeated back with confusion on her face. "I don't know. I wasn't really paying attention," she said using one of Iroh's excuses.
Asami was slightly amused by her reaction and decided to challenge it. "So she's ugly," she said in a matter-of-fact tone of voice.
"I wouldn't say that... I mean she's alright looking," Korra said trying to give the woman some creditably. "Why are you asking me this?"
Asami knew Korra couldn't handle what she was about to say next. "Because you flirt with every woman you see."
Korra scoffed at her accusation. "I don't flirt with every woman I see," she said holding her hand to her chest. "I don't flirt with you," she said gesturing to Asami to make her point.
Asami felt a little hurt by that and covered it with a small subtle smile. "I'm the exception," she countered.
Korra was completely confused by the way this conversation turned. "So what.. you don't want me to go with them tomorrow?" she asked not understanding.
"Its not that its.." Asami paused. She could see the confused look on Korra's face and knew she had to make this clear to understand. "This is Roh's friends sister. Not some random chick you met at a bar one night and not see again the next morning," she explained further. "All I'm asking is for you to not get involved with her."
"Get involved?" Korra questioned with an arched brow.
Asami wasn't trying to insult her friend but needed to get her point across. "Don't sleep with her," she said as blunt as possible.
Korra had a shocked expression on her face from what she said. "I wasn't planning on it."
Asami scoffed at her words and mumbled. "When do you ever..."
"Ouch," Korra said aloud. She was slightly hurt she was bringing this up again. "I told you that wasn't what happened."
"Right..." Asami said walking toward her room.
Korra stood there with a small invisible frown. "It wasn't!"
Asami stopped in her tracks and turned back around to face her. "I don't even care about that anymore," she said walking back up to her. "All I'm saying is to keep it friendly," she said in the more PG related sense. "Its just a playdate," she said tapping Korra's elbow to lighten things up.
Korra comprehended everything she stated but still felt insulted by her accusations. "I know its just a playdate. You're making it seem like its a double date."
"No I'm not," Asami said shaking her head.
Korra nodded her head. "Yes you are. I'm an adult I can control myself," she said with a soft smile to ease the tension.
Asami knew she was and agreed with it. "Then prove it," she dared.
"Is that a challenge?" Korra asked intrigued.
"Yeah it is," Asami replied. She held her bottle of tea up and aimed it at her. "If you can keep it cordial tomorrow. I'll apologize," she said knowing that would catch her attention. "If not, you'll owe me 20 bucks," she said with a smug smile.
Korra couldn't help but break out into laughter. "20 bucks?" she said chuckling. "You serious?"
Asami took a sip of her drinking nodding. "Yeah," she said putting the cap back on her drink.
"Alright. You're on," Korra said amp for this little wager. She got a little bit closer to Asami so she couldn't misinterpret what she was going to say next. "And when you turn out to be wrong you'll owe me more than just an apology," she said with the smuggest expression she could muster.
Asami could feel Korra's breath on her chin to how close she was. "Hmm. What do you want 'if' I'm wrong?" she whispered.
Korra looked deeply into her eyes and said without thinking. "I want you..." she uttered feeling a heavy sensation in her chest. She glanced at her lips and back to her eyes suppressing the feeling. "To admit defeat and grovel at my feet for forgiveness," she said changing the tone back to the way it was. "Maybe a cake and card to sweeten the pot," she said with a nod. "You know the whole shebang. No pun intended," she chuckled. "What do you say. We got a deal?" she said holding her hand out to her.
Asami looked into her eyes the same way and smiled. "Deal," she said taking her hand and shaking it lightly. "Just make sure you have my 20 dollars in bill form. No tens, fives or singles and certainly no pennies," she said giving her a wink before walking away.
"Oh you're funny. "Real funny!" Korra shouted seeing her door close. She took out her phone and scrolled through it looking for Aiko's number. "I can handle this," she said pressing her name and putting her ear to the phone. "Hey, its Korra. The one you gave the ride too earlier. Yeah," she said with a smile. "A... we're on for tomorrow. What time should we be ready?" she said pacing by the couch.
"We'll pick you up around noon," Aiko replied.
Korra stopped by the end of the couch and sat on the arm. "Alright sounds good."
Aiko smiled into the phone. "See you then..."
"See you..." Korra said hanging up. "Shit."
The next day, Asami was heading off to work when she spotted Korra on the couch getting ready herself. She couldn't help but chuckle. "You look nice,"she said getting her attention.
Korra was sitting on the couch putting on her shoes when she heard Asami's voice. "This is how I normally look," she said standing up.
Asami came up to her and sniffed near her neck. "And you smell nice too," she said somewhat amused. "Getting ready for your date?" she asked while walking into the kitchen.
"No and its not a date," Korra said leaning up against the arm of the couch.
"Right... I'm sure its not," she said taking a water bottle out of the fridge. Asami walked back into the living room and stopped a few feet away from Korra. "So what are you going to be doing today?"
Korra shook her head unsure of Aiko had planned. "I have no clue. Probably anything the kids wanna do but I'll make sure Iroh's okay," she said with a nod.
Asami never questioned Iroh's safety with Korra but smiled at her words. "I know you will. Just keep me posted," she said grabbing her jacket from the coat rack.
"Will do," Korra said watching her put on her jacket.
"I wish I could join you two..." she said looking at the time on her phone. Asami put her phone back in her satchel and took out her keys, "but Momma's gotta go to work," she said with a smile.
Korra was thoroughly amused by her statement. "And people say I'm weird," she commented.
Asami opened the front door and said, "you are," walking out of it. "Later," she waved before closing the door and locking it.
Korra shook her head smiling. "Later..."
When noon came, Korra and Iroh waited downstairs for Aiko and Mya. Korra wore all black with her brace on while Iroh had a red sweater with a white collar shirt underneath, blue jeans and white sneakers.
Aiko pulled her jeep over a few seconds later up to where they were standing. "Hey," she said putting it in park.
Iroh got in the back seat with Mya. "Hi," he said to both of them.
Mya said hi back trying to conceal her smile.
Korra closed his door and got in the passenger side. "Hey," she greeted closing her own door. "So what are we doing first?" she asked putting on her seat belt.
Aiko glanced at her sister through the rear view mirror and back to Korra. "Well we planned on seeing that cool new Galaxy Guardians movie and wanted to know if you guys wanted to see it. Its like PG 13, so its not that bad," she said looking back at Iroh. "If not we can see what else is playing," she said eyeing Korra again.
Korra looked behind her seat at Iroh. "You wanna see it?"
Iroh smiled at Korra with a nod. "Yeah."
Korra turned back in her seat and looked to Aiko. "Guess we got our answer," she said with a smile.
At the movies, Korra came up to the booth once they were next in line. "Hey can I get four tickets to see Galaxy Guardians. Two adults and two kids," she said as the lady rang up her total. Korra took out her wallet and paid before Aiko could get her money out.
Aiko was reaching into her purse and stopped when Korra got her change back. "You didn't have to do that," she said feeling bad for not paying.
"I don't mind," Korra said taking the tickets once it was handed to her. When they all walked inside, Korra looked around seeing how packed it was. "Hey," she said getting Aiko's attention. "Do you know if they have any nudes scenes in this film?" she said handing their tickets to one of the ushers.
"During the first one it was like brief side boob but that was it," Aiko answered as the usher gave Korra back their tickets.
Korra handed Aiko hers. "Side boob isn't that bad."
Aiko put her and Mya's ticket in her pocket. "No it isn't," she said with a smile.
Walking up to the concession stand, Korra stood in line and asked everyone. "What do you guys want?"
Mya tippy toed and looked at the choices they had. "Candy?"
"Sweet choice," Korra said giving her a five making her smile.
Iroh thought on his and said, "I want popcorn," while pointing at the big machine.
Korra smiled at that and fist bumped him. "For the salty one," she said getting Iroh to chuckle.
Aiko was never sure what to pick. "I wouldn't mind some hot wings," she said with a shrug.
"Spicy's a nice choice as well," Korra said giving her a five up high. It was until Aiko interlocked their fingers together. Korra held her hand for a few seconds before pulling away smiling nervously. "Shall we?" she said since the line was moving.
Iroh spotted an arcade section near the restroom area. He pulled on Korra's jacket to get her attention. "Can we check it out before the movie starts?" he asked pointing behind him.
Korra looked up to where he pointed and saw that arcade area. "Sure," she said glancing at her wrist watch. "We have 15 minutes to kill so have it," she said reaching into her pocket. She took out two five dollar bills and handed it to each of them. "There's a change machine over there," she said with both kids saying thank you and running in that direction. "Slow down!" she shouted as they made it into the area. "Should one of us keep an eye on them while the other gets the food?" she asked Aiko.
Aiko shook her head no. "They'll be alright. Plus they're in our line of sight so its no need to worry," she said placing a soft hand on Korra's shoulder blade.
"I can't help it," Korra said since this was a first for her.
"I can tell," Aiko said moving up in the line.

Iroh and Mya was playing on the motorcycle racing machine with them both coming in 3rd and 4th place. Mya got off and looked around the area. "What do you wanna play now?"
Iroh fixed the seat of his pants and turned around to answer her. "Um... how about the zombie shooter game," he said pointing over at it.
"Awesome," Mya said walking over to it. She got in the booth and waited for him.
Iroh got in as well and sat next to her. He looked at her and smiled before turning his attention to the machine.
Mya waited for Iroh to put his quarters in and sat back in her seat with the toy gun in hand. "Hey... how come you didn't sit next to me in the lunch room that day?" she asked innocently.
Iroh sat back in his seat after putting his coins into the machine. He was a bit embarrassed by her question. "I must've forgot," he said making an excuse. He could barely look her in the eye.
Mya wasn't stupid and she knew it wasn't something he would want to talk about but she had to ask. "Its because of Hundan isn't it?"
Iroh looked her in the eye and shook his head no. "No I just-"
"I see the way he looks at you. I don't like it," she said annoyed. She's never seen Hundan hit him but heard it from plenty of her classmates that he had.
"Its okay," Iroh said ready to press start on the game.
Mya shook her head and lowered it. "No its not. He's being weird," she said looking at Iroh. "If he bothers you again let me know."
Iroh was surprised by her words and nodded. "I can handle it," he said looking back at the game and pressing start.

Korra got the food while Aiko handled the drinks. "Is that too heavy for you?" she asked curiously.
Aiko shook her head no. "Not at all. I use to sneak food in all the time so this is nothing."
"I know right," Korra said doing the same in her youth. Looking over at the arcade area, Korra glanced at the time on the wall. "We got five minutest left," she said walking over to where the kids were.
"I know.." Aiko uttered.

Iroh and Mya finished the game and came out of the small both. Mya saw Korra and Aiko headed their way. "I think they're ready for us," she said looking back at Iroh.
Iroh was distracted by this Punch Boxer game. He came up to it and hit the bag not seeing it move. He reached into his pants pocket and took out four quarters.
"What are you doing?" Mya asked standing behind him.
Iroh put the quarters into the machine. "I want to see how it works."
Mya watched as the screen flashed the sign ready with Iroh hitting it as hard as he could. "Where'd you learn how to hit like that?" she asked curiously.
Iroh saw his score was under 100 and wondered what it meant. "A friend," he said walking out of the arcade with her.

They entered the room the movie was playing in and got their seats. Aiko sat next to Mya. Iroh sat on the other side of her with Korra sitting next to him. The movie trailers were about to start with Korra passing everyone their stuff.
Aiko got up and said, "I'll be back," while passing everyone.
Korra stood up so she could get pass and sat back down when she did. The trailers were starting with many people scrambling to get in their seats. A guy came to the other end of their row and got to Aiko's seat. Korra saw him and said, "that seat's taken," as he sat down. He completely ignored her and got comfortable. "Hey," she said a bit louder only to be shushed by other people.
Mya looked uncomfortable with this big lug sitting next to her.
Iroh noticed and leaned close to her ear. "Wanna switch?"
Mya nodded her head and whispered yes.
When the kids got up, Korra waved over to them. "You can move further down toward me," she said since there were empty seats by her.
Iroh shook his head and sat where Mya was seated before. "I got it," he said when Mya sat in his seat.
Korra sighed as Aiko came back seeing a random guy in her seat. "I told that jack hole that seat was taken but he wouldn't get up," she whispered to her.
"Its okay. I'll sit next to you," Aiko whispered back doing just that. She sat next to Korra and smiled.
"Okay," Korra said keeping it as that instead of a smart remark about somewhere else she could sit.

The movie was playing with Iroh and Mya staring at the screen wide eyed in awe. Iroh sipped on his drink while Mya ate some m&m's.
Korra had the bucket of popcorn on her lap eating some. Aiko went to reach for it when Korra did. Their hands briefly touched with Korra moving her hand out the way. "Sorry," she said waiting her turn.
Aiko took some and put in it her empty chicken box. "Thanks."
Korra turned to the kids and whispered. "Do you want some?" she asked seeing them both grab hand fulls. She took it back and felt her phone vibrating in her pocket next. "Hey can you hold this for me?" she asked handing Aiko the bucket of popcorn.
"Sure," Aiko agreed taking it.
Korra reached into her pants pocket and took out her phone. She saw a text from Asami asking how things were going. Korra texted back: Good. Hit you up when the movie is over. Asami texted back: What movie? Korra texted her the name of the movie and put her phone away. "Sorry," she whispered to Aiko.
Aiko said its fine and handed her back the popcorn.
Korra took it again and felt another buzz in her pocket. She pulled her phone out half way and saw a message from Asami that had 20 money emoji's and smirked. She put her phone back in her pocket and continued to watch the movie.
Asami smirked to herself and put her phone down to get back to work. Though she couldn't help but think about the bet itself. It was really silly the more she thought about it. Korra always flirted with every cute face and slim waist she came across. This time would be no different. Although that wasn't always the case. Asami could recall a time when Korra was to scared to even ask someone out.
"Are you going to prom?" Asami asked for the millionth time since a certain someone had been avoiding the question the passed few days.
"I might skip it," Korra answered taking another long sip of her milkshake.
Asami let out a heavy sigh of annoyance to showcase her frustration. "You can't skip it. You have to go!"
Korra put her empty cup down on the tray she had in front of her. "And who am I gonna go with? Myself?"
Asami shook her head no and reached for Korra's hand across the table. "You'll be with me," she said with a smile.
Korra looked down at her hand on top of hers. "To be the third wheel with you and Tahno?" she said slowly moving it from her grasp. "I don't think so," she respectfully declined.
"It wouldn't be like that I promise," Asami said holding up her two finger to indicate that.
Korra gave her a skeptic look in return.
Asami knew it wouldn't be that easy to sway her stubborn friend. "What if I help you find a date for it," she offered with an eager smile.
Korra raised a brow at her. "That would be impossible. The proms this weekend. Who would want to go to something like that last minute?" she said knowing that would take a miracle to pull off.
"You'd be surprised!" Asami said in an upbeat tone of voice. "Come on give it a try," she said nudging her knee with her foot underneath the table. "If I can't find a date for you by the end of the day I promise I'll drop it."
Korra narrowed her eyes at her and sighed. "Fine," she agreed submitting defeat.
Asami smiled brightly at that. "Perfect! Now who do you want to go with a guy or a girl?" she asked glancing around the food court for potential prospects.
"I don't know..." Korra said to shy to look around.
Asami saw a cute guy walking by their table and smirked. "What about him?" she said gesturing his way.
Korra noticed him and shrugged. "I don't know him."
"That's the point to get to know him," Asami said picking up a piece of her funnel cake and eating it.
"You trying to find me a date or pimp me out?" Korra asked curiously.
"None of the sort," Asami stated in all seriousness. She pointed her half eaten pastry at her. "Plus you'd be my muscle if anything."
Korra raised a brow at her weird sense of humor. "Thanks I guess," she said standing up to throw her tray out. She walked over to the trash cans and bumped into someone dropping her tray on the floor. "Crap."
"I'm so sorry," the girl said frantically. "I'll pay for your lunch," she said scrambling to pick up the scattered mess.
"Its cool," Korra said putting everything back on to the tray. When she finally looked up at the woman, Korra couldn't help but stare before shaking her head. "I was gonna throw it out anyway," she said standing back to her feet. She then noticed the band on the girls shirt and smiled. "You listen to Linkin' Up?"
The girl looked down at her own shirt and nodded. "Yeah. I can't wait for their tour this summer," she said all giddy looking back up at Korra.
"Wow I always wanted to see them live," Korra said gesturing to her shirt.
The girl laughed with a nod. "Its pretty cool. This will be my second time but more closer to the stage."
Korra looked at her in awe. "Really that is cool."
Asami watched from afar with a faint smile on her face that was slowly disappearing.
Asami had that same look on her face now before snapping out of it and getting back to work.
After the movie was over, they all walked out of the theater and into the lobby. Iroh pulled Korra to the side away from the girls. "Can you follow me. I wanna show you something," he said lowly.
Korra wasn't sure why he was being so secretive but nodded. "Alright," she agreed. "Hey!" she said getting Aiko and Mya's attention. "We'll meet you outside."
"Okay," Aiko said walking with her sister toward the exit.
Iroh walked a head of Korra back toward the arcade. He stopped by the punch machine and pressed the button. "I hit this earlier but I don't know what my score means," he said looking for it.
Korra stood next to Iroh and clicked on the button to see for herself. "You know these things aren't always accurate. What was your score?" she said not seeing his up there.
Iroh thought back on it and said, "64," while not sure if it was good or bad.
Korra looked at the score ratings. "Its not to bad."
"Its not good enough," Iroh said a bit stressed. "I'd like to be stronger."
"Do you want to be stronger to better yourself or for another reason?" Korra said looking down at him.
Iroh thought on it and looked up at her with a serious look in his eye. "To better myself."
Korra smiled proudly at that. "Good answer," she said patting his back lightly.
Iroh had been taking his training sessions with Korra seriously. If he wanted to get better he needed too. "What would your score be?" he asked curiously.
"Doesn't matter," Korra replied only to see him putting quarters in the machine. "Come on," she said tapping his shoulder lightly. "You should never keep a lady waiting," she said referring to the girls outside.
"What if they keep you waiting?" Iroh asked since his mother took a very long time to get ready herself.
Korra chuckled at his question and shook her head. "That is another subject all together," she said getting terrible flashbacks in the process. "Come on," she said again leading him out of the arcade area.
Iroh walked with her towards the exit and stopped. "Wait I never got my quarters back from the machine."
Korra looked through the clear glass doors seeing the girls waiting near by and back down at Iroh. "I'll get em for you just go wait with Mya," she said pointing over at them.
"Okay," Iroh said heading in that direction.
Korra watched as he reached the door and walked back into the arcade area. She came back to the machine and saw the speed bag hanging up. Knowing the coins were still in the machine, Korra was tempted to know her own score. She looked out to see if anyone was around and reached into her pocket taking out four quarters to replace his. She held them in her fist and pressed start with her other hand.
Iroh was hiding behind another machine watching Korra get into her stance and smiled.
Korra held her fist up and took a hard jab at the speed bag and saw her score was 795 out of 900.
Iroh peeked up from behind the machine and saw her score. "Whoa..."
Korra heard a noise and looked in that direction with Iroh ducking down so she wouldn't see him. "Come on Roh," she said coaxing him out of his hiding place. Once he stood, Korra placed her hands on his shoulders leading him back outside.

They both walked out of the theater and up to Aiko and Mya. "Sorry it took so long," Korra said standing next to Iroh.
Aiko didn't see it as a big deal and waved it off. "Its cool. We were just thinkin' on where to go to next."
Korra looked at each of them and then back at Aiko. "Wanna grab a bite to eat?"
"Sure," Aiko agreed with a smile.
"Cool, what are you all in the mood for?" Korra asked ready to take some suggestions.
Mya shook her head unsure. "I don't know."
Aiko lightly licked her lips out of habit. "I'd eat anything at this point."
Korra took note to that without saying anything sexual behind it. "Okay."
"How about pizza?" Iroh said since he hasn't had any in a while.
"Everyone good with pizza?" Korra said hearing a collective of yeahs all around.
Aiko was browsing through her phone to see if there were any nearby. "There's a pizza shop just around the corner if you wanna walk?"
Korra didn't mind walking since finding a parking spot was a hassle. "Pizza it is."
The group arrived at the pizzeria a few minutes later. The kids went straight up to the counter to see the variety of sweets available.
Korra stopped short by the register looking up at the menu. "Do you wanna get a pie?" she said looking back at Aiko.
Aiko stood beside Korra and laughed. "Sure. What kind of pie do you want?"
Korra looked back up at the menu above and shrugged. "We could go with regular cheese, the meats, a veggie or the classic pepperoni."
"To bad they don't have cherry," Aiko said underneath her breath.
"What?" Korra asked confused as to what she meant.
Aiko shook her head of the thought. "Pepperoni sounds good," she said changing her answer.
Korra heard what she said the first time but acknowledged her current statement. "Alright. I'll order it and see what the kids want."
"Okay, I'll grab us a booth," Aiko said walking toward the back of the resturant.
Korra watched as she walked away seeing her hips sway side to side. She unconsciously licked her own lips thinking of many things only to shake her head remembering the bet she made with Asami. I gotta text her back. She took her phone out and started to send her pizza emojis before texting: getting something to eat. Placing her phone back in her pocket, Korra came up behind the kids to see what they were looking at. "Do you guys want pepperoni pizza?"
Iroh and Mya looked behind them at Korra and said 'yes' in unison.
"What else do you want besides that?" Korra asked since they were eying the desserts.
Mya looked over the selection and pointed at what she wanted. "Could we have some cookies?"
Iroh saw the chocolate chips Mya was pointing to and wanted some himself. "Can we?" he chimed in.
Korra reached in her pocket to take out her wallet. "Yeah how many do you want?"
"They're kind of big," Mya commented. She wasn't sure so threw a number out. "Two?" she said looking up at Korra.
"Two it is," Korra said turning her attention to the guy behind the register. She looked back up at the menu again before settling her sights back on the man before her. "Hey can I get a large pepperoni pizza, two chocolate chip cookies..." she said glancing at it again. "Make that four," she said holding up those number of fingers. "What do you guys want to drink?" she said looking to Iroh and Mya.
The guy cleared his throat to get her attention. "I need to know what size drink. You can choose what kind of drink you want down there," he said gesturing to the fountain drink machine with an empty cup.
Korra saw the machine and nodded. "Alright three large sodas and a water bottle."
The guy took out a cold bottle of water and placed it on the counter with three empty large cups and racked up her total. "That will be 27 dollars and 80 cents," he said placing her recepit down.
Korra took out a 50 dollar bill and handed it to him. He gave her a 20 dollar bill with 20 cents on top. "Thanks," she said placing it in her pocket. She handed the kids there empty cups to get their drinks.
The guy placed their cookies on the counter for her to get. "Your pizza will be ready in 15 minutes," he said wiping down his area.
Korra took her empty cup, cookies and water bottle off the counter. "Alright," she said walking up to the booth Aiko was occupying. She could see the kids getting their drinks out of the corner of her eye. She placed the bottle of water and empty cup down on the table and up to Aiko. "I wasn't sure which one you'd prefer."
Aiko looked up from her phone at Korra. "It doesn't matter."
Korra looked her in the eye and simply said. "Choose."
Aiko made an indecisive face and slowly pulled the empty cup toward her.
"I knew it," Korra said with a cocky smile.
Aiko hung her head in shame. "I'm a sucker for Hi-C."
Korra couldn't help but smile at her. "Who wouldn't be."
Aiko looked up at her smiling back bitting her lower lip.
Korra noticed and cleared her throat. "I a.. I got you a cookie too," she said sliding it closer to her.
"Thanks," Aiko said as the kids came back to the table with their drinks.
"I got sweet tea," Iroh said placing his on the table.
Korra glanced at his cup and nodded. "Looks good."
Mya placed her drink down next to his. "I got sprite."
"I might get that too," Aiko said standing up from the booth taking her empty cup with her. "I'll be right back."
Korra watched her walk over to the machine and couldn't help but admire her figure. Hot damn. She closed her eyes to avoid seeing it and rubbed them with her hands. Get a grip.
Iroh sat down and saw Korra rubbing her eyes. "You okay?" he asked thinking she got something caught in it.
Korra stopped and looked down at him with a nod. "Yeah. Thanks," she said giving him a smile.
"Who are you to him?" Mya asked out of curiousity.
Korra didn't take offense to the question and was growing more use to hearing it. She wasn't sure how to phase her answer though. "I'm a friend of his mother."
Iroh looked up at Korra and smiled. "Mines too right?"
Korra playfully nudged his shoulder and smiled. "Of course."
Mya smiled at the both of them sipping on her drink quietly.
Asami got Korra's text a bit late and saw that they were at a pizza shop. It made her think on all the fun they must be having. She wondered what they ordered and figured it had to be pepperoni. It was always a great choice. Her thoughts then roamed to a time her and Iroh II took Korra out to dinner.
The trio sat there quietly with Asami looking up from her menu. "Do you know what you want to eat?" she asked the both of them.
Iroh II glanced around his menu and spotted something that caught his eye. "The sea slug looks exquisite."
Korra made a hurrling face at his choice.
Asami noticed her expression and was gratefuly he didn't. "What about you?" she asked getting her attention.
Korra sighed and skimmed the menu shaking her head. "I can barely understand anything on here to make a choice," she said putting it down on the table.
"Well what looks good," Asami said since there were a few pictures to give her an idea.
Korra looked around the room and saw a woman not to far from her. "Something not on the menu..."
Asami followed her line of sight and sighed.
Iroh II cleared his throat and sat up in his seat. "I'll help you if you like," he said opening his menu wider for her to see. "I can tell you whats on it," he said willing to translate.
Korra looked back at him with an arched brow. "I'd much rather have something else less complicated like pizza instead of a 5 course meal but here we are," she said holding her hands up. "Surprise!" she said being theatric.
"Korra," Asami said using her stern tone of voice.
Korra looked to her friend and kept her hands up. "I'm not trying to be rude. I appreciate you treating for all this," she said to Iroh. She looked back at Asami to make this clear as day. "But its just not my thing,"
Iroh II gave Asami a look of annoyance and sighed himself. He knew this dinner date was a waste of time.
Asami kept her eyes on Korra. "It doesn't hurt to try new things."
"You're right it doesn't," Korra said getting up from her seat to talk to the woman waiting at the bar. She pointed over to the table she was at and asked the woman to join them.
Iroh II watched her confused. "What is she doing?"
Asami eyed Korra with a scold forming on her face. "I don't know."
Korra came back with the woman in tow and pulled an empty chair from a nearby table up to theirs. "Here we go," she said offering the lady a seat.
"Thank you," the lady said.
Asami looked at Korra in disbelief. "What are you doing?"
Korra sat down in her own and caught a swiff of Asami's attitude. "Oh me?" she said pointing at her chest. "Well I thought instead of being a third wheel I'd try something new like getting to know this lovely lady at the bar who's been waiting to get a table for the last 10 minutes," she said holding up both hands.
"20," the woman corrected.
Korra pointed at her. "Exactly 20."
Iroh II grew more frustated by the moment. "Unbelievable," he said under his breath.
Korra then pointed at him. "I know waiting 20 minutes is unbelievable," she said to be cheeky.
Before Asami could ring Korra in, a Waiter came up to their table. "This is a three seated table not four."
"Is it really an issue?" Korra asked him as if it was no big deal.
The man looked around the table before answering. "Yes because you only paid for three person table."
Korra looked at everyone and back at him. "Can't you make an exception and bring us an extra menu?"
The man shook his head and said. "No."
Iroh II held his hand up to stop any further discussion on the matter. "I'll cover the cost," he said sternly since their table was getting looks.
"You shouldn't have too," Asami said now pissed off herself.
"Why not? He clearly said he would," Korra said chewing on a bread stick.
The woman was starting to feel uncomfortable. "I could go back to the bar," she offered getting up.
Korra pushed her chair back in so she could sit. "No. You don't have to go anywhere. You already waited 20 minutes you should be able to order something by now," she said handing her her menu.
The waiter shook his head tapping his foot against the ground. "This isn't proper protocol."
Iroh II abruptly stood up from his seat getting everyone's attention. "I will cover the cost just bill it to me and add a little extra for yourself for the inconvience," he said to the waiter. "Now. Get us another menu," he said in a low yet demanding tone of voice.
"I'll get you another menu," the waiter said without another word.
Asami looked over at Korra with a livid expression.
Korra gave her a look back and shrugged her shoulders. "What?"
Asami began to text Korra back asking her to send her some pictures. She wanted to see what they were doing in order to get these negative memories out of her mind.
Korra got Asami's text as the pizza arrived. Reading over it, She stood up from her seat to take a picture of everyone. "Everyone say Pizza Pie!" she said holding her phone up.
Iroh smiled with a thumbs up behind Korra while Mya and Aiko were on the other side saying 'pizza pie'.
Korra took the pic and showed them all how it came out. "Not bad huh?"
Aiko saw the picture and smiled. "Can you send that to me?"
Korra was still in the process of figuring out how to work her phone. "I'm not sure how to do it."
"I'll show you if you want," Aiko offered. She then turned her attention to her little sister. "Hey Mya why don't you sit next to Iroh while I show Korra how to work her phone."
"Alright," Mya said getting up from the booth. She took a next to Iroh and pulled her pizza slice over toward her.
Korra sat next to Aiko and handed her her phone. She watched as Aiko began to demonstrate the basics.
Aiko sat up in her seat and began to show Korra how to send pictures. "See thats all you have to do. Now you give it a try," she said handing her back her phone.
Korra took her phone back and began to send Aiko the photo. "Like that?"
Aiko heard a 'ding' from her phone seconds later. She picked it up and showed Korra. "Just like that.."
"Thanks," Korra said with a smile.
"You're very welcome," Aiko said with a smile of her own.
They were a little too close which made Korra clear her throat. "I'm a go to the restroom. I'll be back," she said getting up from the table and heading into the ladies room. Walking inside, Korra took a deep breath and slapping her cheek a few times. "What are you doing?" she asked herself. She came up to the sink and turned the water on. She splash her face and looked into the mirror pointing at her reflection. "Behave yourself. You can do it," she said before lifting up her shirt to wipe her face off.
Aiko came into the ladies room and saw Korra with her shirt up. Her six pack was an impressive sight to see. "Wow."
Korra dropped her shirt and saw Aiko standing there. "Ah shit," she said outloud. "I mean... Hey," she said holding her hand up.
"I didn't mean to scare you," Aiko said walking up to her. She stopped a few feet away from her. "I just wanted to know if you were okay."
"Yeah yeah I'm fine," Korra said with a nod.
Aiko gave her a nod in return. "Okay," she said looking around the restroom. She then took a step closer to her. "I wanted to ask you something."
Korra saw her coming closer and leaned against the sink behind her. "What's that?"
Aiko began to rub her own forearm out of nervousness. "This is weird to ask specially in the women's restroom but I've been getting a vibe from you all day and was wondering if I'm right," she said not trying to make this awkward.
Korra was taken back by her boldness and smiled a bit. "What kind of vibe?"
Aiko bit her bottom lip again. "You know what kind..." she said lowly.
Korra couldn't help her self and decide to challenge her. "Show me."
Aiko took on the dare and came closer to her. She leaned in close to her face and softly pressed her lips against hers.
Korra felt her lips on hers and placed her hands on Aiko's waist pulling her closer.
Aiko raised her hands up to Korra's cheeks pulling her more into the kiss.
They both stopped once they heard voices coming closer to the rest room doors. Korra covered her mouth when Aiko backed off as some women came into the restroom.
Aiko stood against the wall letting the ladies pass her. "I'ma go check on the kids.." she said pointing her thumb at the door.
Korra gave her a nod and put her hand down when she left the room. "Fuck.."
Asami was on the computer entering some date and thought on how things use to be. Korra wasn't always an ass. She could be so innocent at times it was adorable. Like when they were both 14 talking about boys and random things.
"What's it like to have a boyfriend?" Korra asked sitting at the end of her bed with her legs folded.
"Its pretty nice. They bring you gifts and give you their dessert at lunch," Asami said going over all the things her former boyfriend did for her.
Korra had a clueless expression consume her face. "Have you ever kissed one?"
Asami sat back on her own bed looking up at the ceiling in thought. "Yeah lots of times," she said looking over at Korra.
"How was it?" Korra asked curiously.
"Like any other kiss," Asami said in a nonchalant tone of voice. The subject made her have a question of her own. "Why do you like a boy?"
Korra looked away from her in panic. "I don't know.. maybe."
Asami was a bit surprised and smiled at her friends confession. "If you do you need to learn how to kiss," she said in all seriousness. She got off her bed and came over to Korra's with a stuffed animal in hand. She handed it over to Korra. "Here kiss it."
Korra held the stuffed animal in hand and looked up at her friend baffled. "Are you serious?"
Asami stood in front of her nodding her head. "Yeah try it."
Korra looked at the stuffed bear before giving it a peck.
"Not like that," Asami said taking it out of her hand. She took a seat next to Korra and said, "like this," while demonstrating the exact way to kiss. "See, now you try," she said handing it back to her.
Korra took the stuffed bear and tried it again. She then started to pick the small specs of fur from her lips. "Ew."
Asami sighed out of the hopelessness that was displayed. "Ball up your fist," she said holding hers up. Once she did, Asami showed her how to kiss it. "Now you."
Korra held up her fist and did the same. "This feels weird," she said wiping the saliva from her hand.
Asami started to feel like this was impossible and looked around the room for something else to use.
"Forget it. Its not important," Korra said ready to change the subject.
"No it is important," Asami told her only to get a wild idea. "You can practice on me."
Korra looked at her like she was a foreign object. "What do you mean?"
Asami rolled her eyes and explained further. "There is no substitute for the real thing at least that's what my dad always says," she said thinking on her mothers cooking. "Anyways you can try it on me and it wont count as your first kiss since its just for practice," she said with a shrug of her shoulders.
"Are you sure?" Korra asked with an arched brow.
"Yes," Asami easily answered. She turned more in her seat to face her clearly. "You ready?"
Korra looked Asami in the eyes and nodded. "Yeah."
They both began to edge closer to one another. Asami pointed at her mouth. "Perk your lips up like this," she said showing her. "Close your eyes and slowly lean forward."
Korra followed her directions and closed her eyes leaning forward.
Asami did the same with their lips touching. They kissed for a few seconds before opening their eyes again. "How was that?"
Korra moved back with an amazed expression. "Amazing," she said with a small smile. "I could get use to this kising thing," she said in the general aspect of things.
"Me too," Asami said smiling nerviously. She actually never kissed anyone before and felt a whole new revelation beyond her hand. "Do you want to try again?" she said unsure if she would agree to it.
"Okay," Korra answered and began to lean in close as directed. They both kissed again but this time a little longer than before imitating the movies they often watched. Korra pulled back and looked at her lips and then her eyes. "Did I do it right?"
Asami stared at Korra's lips and back at her eyes. "You're a natural."
Korra blushed with a nod of her head. "Cool," she uttered with a chesire cat smile.
Asami snapped out of her thoughts when Lee knocked on her cubical. "Huh?" she said a bit startled.
"You left these reports in the copier," he said handing it over to her.
"Thank you," Asami said taking them off his hands.
Lee gave her a nod. "No problem," he said heading back to his cubical.
Asami took a deep breath and checked her phone again. She saw the picture Korra sent her and couldn't help but notice how beautiful the other woman was. "She is a looker," she said feeling a bit insecure for some reason.
Korra wiped the lipstick off her mouth before coming out of the restroom. She came back to the booth and sat next to Aiko again. "How's the pizza?" she asked the kids.
Iroh was half way done with his second piece. "Its good but greasy."
"It kind of was," Mya said pointing at a mountain of napkins the two of them gathered up.
"I see," Korra said noticing it for herself.
Aiko already started eating her slice. "That's what makes it the best unhealthy thing I love so much," she said with a hint of sarcasm.
Korra chuckled. "I know right," she said smiling at her. She cleared her throat again and started to eat her own slice.
Aiko let her be and started on a new subject. "So I have a plan for the next thing but everyone has to be on board," she motion at the table.
Iroh perked up for the next suggestion. "What is it?"
Aiko got quiet for a few seconds for dramatic effect before saying, "the strike zone bowling alley," before holding her hands up as if she just dropped a mic.
Mya got super excited. "I'd love to go bowling!" she said since they haven't went in years.
"I know, "Aiko said sipping on her sprite.
"I've never bowled before," Iroh said unsure if he could.
Korra smiled at him. "You'd love it."
"I'll teach you," Mya offered.
"See you already have a teacher," Korra said gesturing to Mya.
Iroh wouldn't let his inexperience stop him from trying. "Okay," he said smiling at Mya.
Aiko put her drink down and lightly bumped her shoulder against Korra's. "Guess that makes us a team."
Korra looked over at Aiko and shrugged. "I guess so."
Aiko looked back at her sister and Iroh. "And we're not gonna go easy on you either."
"Nope," Korra said shaking her head no.
Aiko pointed between her and Korra. "We're gonna bring it."
Korra held her hand up. "Right to the table."
Both kids started to laugh at there antics.
Aiko leaned close to Korra's ear. "We're gonna let them win right?" she asked in a whisper.
"Most definitely," Korra whispered back.
Asami got another text message on her phone that showed a bowling ball and pins. She smiled and began to type up another text that said: Wish I was there with you guys. She then back spaced it and wrote: Hope you guys have fun.
Korra texed her back a few seconds later saying: We are. It would be even more fun if you were here.
Asami smiled at her text and saw a follow up text that read: Cause you'd throw gutter balls and get all pissy lol. "Oh really?" Asami said texting her back: I'll get you back for that. Just make sure you have my moola ready when you come home.
Korra saw her text and sent her one back saying: Yeah right with a tongue emoji attached.
"Hey gonna put your name in?" Aiko asked since she finished adding hers on the machine.
"Yeah," Korra said putting her phone away and walking up to them.
Asami got her text and wondered if she still wanted to win the bet or not.
Korra stood up after fixing her bowling shoes. "Alright. This is gonna be an epic show down between two elite teams," she announced to the group. "Team cookies and cream soda," she said gesturing to Iroh and Mya. "Awesome name by the way," she said giving each of them dap. "Verses Team..." she said blanking on their name.
Aiko stood up and whispered one into her ear. "Cliff's edge."
Korra looked at her confused. "What does that mean?"
Aiko couldn't help but smirk. "Why don't you find out."
Korra gave her a slow nod of confusion and chalked it up to some sexual innuendo. "Alright I will later," she agreed. She looked back at the kids and repeated the name suggestion. "Cliff's edge," she said in an unknowling awkward kind of way. "Anyway Ready?"
"Ready!" both kids shouted.
"Awesome. Let's do this!" Korra said exhilarated.
Thirty minutes in, Korra felt exhausted. "We're getting our asses handed to us."
Aiko sat back still tallying up there scores. "I know."
Korra looked at her with a raised brow. "I'm actually trying now and were still behind," she said looking back at the lanes.
Aiko giggled. "I know."
"The bars help though," Korra said pointing at the bumpers in the kids lane.
"Yes it does," Aiko said glancing over at them.
Iroh and Mya were both tossing the bowling ball down the lane.
Aiko saw the kids were distracted and reached down squeezing Korra's thigh causing her to jump.
Korra jerked up a bit in her seat and looked at Aiko surprised.
When the kids looked back at them, Aiko moved her hand and waved at them.
They waved back with Iroh telling Korra its her turn. Korra got up and grabbed the blue ball she had earlier tossing it down the lane.
Iroh sat down next to Mya again. "We're winning," he said pointing up at the score board.
"Yeah.." Mya said getting quiet.
Iroh noticed and grew concerned. "What's wrong?" he asked wondering if she hurt her fingers.
Mya looked him in the eye with worry written all over her face. "What are you going to do when Hundan comes back to school?"
Iroh wasn't sure why she was bringing this up now. "Why do you ask?"
Mya heard about Hundan's suspension from a ton of classmates and knew Iroh would feel his wrath when he came back. "Because I don't want him to bother you."
"If he does I'll deal with it," Iroh said looking back at the lanes.
"How?" Mya asked wanting him to elaborate.
Iroh thought on it and didn't give her an answer. He wasn't quite sure as to what he would do but no matter what occured he would face it head on.
"There it is!" Aiko shouted when Korra got a strike.
Korra chuckled and gave her a high five.
Aiko locked their fingers again and pulled her toward her.
Korra's smiled faded and removed her hand from hers to point at their lane. "You're up."
"Alright," Aiko said getting up to bowl herself.
Korra took a seat as Aiko bowled and started to wonder if Asami had a point. This was Iroh's friends sister. It would be inappropriate to get involved with her like that even though she had a beautiful face, slim waist and an ass for days. Korra stopped starring when Aiko came back to her seat. "So close!" she said with a smile.
Aiko sat down with a huff. "I know. I only had one more pin to go before getting a strike," she said all pouty lipped.
"Want me to throw my shoe at it?" Korra said with a smirk.
Aiko giggled looking down at her hands. "Maybe next time," she said eying her again.
Mya began to bowl again with Iroh right by her side.
Korra put her arm around the back of Aiko's chair and leaned closer to her. "Hey um... about what happened at the pizza shop," she started to say as Aiko looked at her. "I a.. I find you attractive. Very much so but I don't want to ruin anything for Iroh and Mya," she said gesturing toward the kids. "If this," she said pointing between the two of them. "Doesn't work out I don't want that to effect their friendship," she said in a very serious manner.
Aiko smiled at Korra. "You're sweet and I understand what you mean," she said looking back at the kids.
Korra smiled the same way. "Thanks."
Aiko leaned back in her seat and looked back at Korra. "But if you ever change your mind. Give me a call."
Korra's smile quickly turned into her famous lopsided grin. "I will."
Asami got home early and saw no one was there. After putting some food in the fridge, She walked into her room to get ready for the night.
Korra and Iroh came in a few minutes later with a pizza box in hand. "I'm beat," she said taking a seat on the couch.
"Me too," Iroh agreed plopping down next to her.
Asami came into the living soon as she heard their voices. "There you two are," she said with a smile. "Did you have fun?" she said looking at her son.
Iroh stood up and held his hands up. "So much fun!" he exclaimed. "I can't wait to do it again."
Asami rubbed the top of his head. "Go wash up before bed okay," she said hearing him groan.
"Okay," he said running into his room.
Asami came up to Korra with a smug expression on her face. "Did you have fun too?"
Korra stood up and lowered her head in defeat. "Yes," she said holding up a 20 dollar bill.
Asami saw it with her heart beginning to flutter. "Oh," she said surprised. "I knew it," she said changing her tone of voice to mask the slight disappointment in it.
Soon as she reached for the bill, Korra snatched it away. "Knew you'd lose!" she said with a smile. "Nothing happened," she said walking into the kitchen. She put the pizza box on the counter and opened the cabinet to get a zip lock bag.
"Oh? Why not?" Asami asked following her path.
Korra looked over at her wondering if she should tell her the truth or a version of it. Shaking her head, Korra looked away. "She wasn't interested in me," she said putting the rest of the pizza slices in the fridge.
Asami looked at her shocked. "Really?"
Korra closed the fridge with a nod. "Yeah she's a... straight. So we just hung out and had a chilled day. Plus it made it easier to win," she said walking back up to her. "So what do you say?" she said holding her hand up to her ear.
Asami shook her head. "Uh. Nothing. It doesn't count if she's not into you," she explained in order to get out of her side of the bet.
"Oh no no no. Don't go adding last minute stipulations to the fray," Korra said drawing the line. She knew Asami would try to weasel her way out of it. "My win still counts."
"Says you," Asami said pointing at her.
Korra began to pout. "Can I atleast have my cake?"
Asami contemplated her options. "Hmm.. there maybe a small cupcake in the fridge just in case you pulled through on your end," she said peaking Korra's interest.
Korra was slightly surprised by her actions. "Oh Really? And here I thought you doubted my skills of resistance," she said heading back into the kitchen to see.
"I'm not sure if that even exists," Asami said with a smug outlook.
"Trust me it does," Korra said under her breath. She opened up the fridge again and saw the chocolate cup cake on the second shelf. She took it out and came back up to Asami after closing the fridge again.
Asami stood there with her arms folded. "But when it comes to Iroh I can see that it does," she said wholeheartedly. "I know it was just a silly bet but thank you for taking it serious."
Korra opened up the container her cup cake was in and stuck a plastic fork in it. "Of course. For Iroh's sake," she said tapping Asami on the shoulder.
Asami took a deep breath as Korra walked over to the couch taking a seat. "Yeah. For Iroh.."
Iroh came back out of his room and up to his mom. "Do you know where my shower cap is?"
"I'll get it in a second," Asami told him.
Iroh nodded and headed into the bathroom to start the shower.
Asami walked over to the hallway and stopped to look back at Korra; who was eating her cupcake while turning on the TV. With a content smile, Asami walked back into her room to get what her son asked for.
