Puddle Fight

In retrospect, jumping into a puddle and splashing Asami was probably not the best idea that Korra had ever had. But there was just something so amusing about watching the normally elegant and composed woman splutter as she tried to wipe off all the water and mud.

"You splashed me!" Asami rounded on Korra and glared. A clump of mud slid out of her hair and down her face. "You actually splashed me!"

"Yes." Korra nodded and smiled. "And I'm about to do it again."

Splash.

Splash.

SPLASH.

Now, Asami was absolutely drenched. Her eyes narrowed ominously, and she stomped forward, radiating raw menace on a scale that actually had the Avatar backing off. "Korra…"

"Uh…" Who knew that Asami could be so scary?

"You're dead!"

"Gah!"

Korra barely had time to scream before Asami tackled her to the ground. Several days of rain had left the ground a mess of mud and puddles, and Asami wasted absolutely no time in grabbing a handful of mud and smearing it all over Korra's hair before shoving her into a puddle.

Staggering to her feet, Korra turned to Asami and lifted both hands. A smirk crossed her lips. "Heh. You just made the biggest mistake of your life. Never get into a fight against a waterbender – agh!"

A clod of mud hit Korra right in the face. She stumbled back and several more hit her in the chest and stomach. A blind swipe of her hands hurled the nearest puddle at Asami, but the other woman dodged it in a single smooth movement and tossed more mud.

"No, you just made the biggest mistake of your life!" Asami lobbed some more mud. "Never mess with a Sato!"

Korra could have used earthbending to even the odds, but she liked to think of herself as an honourable person. Besides, it couldn't be that hard to hit Asami with a puddle using waterbending, could it?

Wrong.

A few minutes later, Asami stood victorious with one foot on Korra's stomach as the Avatar lay in a pool of mud.

"It looks like I'm the winner." Asami was so smug that it took everything Korra had not to surreptitiously bend some mud at her.

"You know, you're a really bad winner." Korra grumbled and pushed Asami's foot off her. "I mean that."

Asami laughed and pulled Korra back up to her feet. "I guess I am. But why did you splash me in the first place?"

Korra shrugged. "Well, it seem like it would be fun. Plus, you've been cooped up in your office the past couple of days. I doubt you've smiled once this week, but you're smiling now."

Asami paused. "Okay… now I can't even get mad at you for splashing me."

"I aim to please." Korra sketched a bow. "I can save the world and bring a smile to your face."

"Yes, I suppose that you are handy to have around." Asami grinned. "But maybe we should head home now. We're covered in mud."

"I guess." Korra smirked. "But let me do one last thing…"

Korra flicked her wrist.

SPLASH.

"And that," Korra said. "Is why you never pick a puddle fight with the Avatar."

"Korra…"

Lin glanced out the window as the Avatar ran down the street at full speed. Only a few steps behind her was Asami. Both of them were covered in mud.

"Should we, I don't know, do something, ma'am?" one of her officers asked.

Lin made a disgusted sound. "They're young and in love, that basically makes them idiots by default. Leave them be."

Author's Notes

As always, I do not own Legend of Korra. I am not making any money off of this either.

Because love means being able to splash someone with puddle water without having to apologise… but, seriously, this was just another bit of light-hearted fun. As an aside, almost all of the snippets I post for Legend of Korra and RWBY appear on my Tumblr first, so you can always have a look around there if you want more Korra and RWBY goodness. There are even a few there that haven't found a home outside of Tumblr yet (e.g., my Azula as Korra's firebending master snippets).

As always, I appreciate feedback. Reviews and comments are welcome.
