Asami sat in her office trying to focus on work and failing miserably at it. Every few minutes she would check her phone looking to see if Korra had texted her yet only to feel a wave of disappointment when she saw that she had no new messages. You'd think she would eventually get the message and focus one hundred percent of her mind on the paperwork but her eyes kept being drawn to her phone where it sat, screen down, to her right. The irrational part of Asami's brain wondered if Korra really would text her or not but the rational part knew that she was probably just busy doing whatever it was that had come up. She continued looking over the contracts that she needed to approve and sign but she could tell that her wandering mind was going to make that incredibly hard. The knock at her door was a godsend as she was able to put the current document that she had been pretending to read for the past ten minutes down, "Come in." Li stuck her head in the door, quickly finding Asami under the pile of paperwork.

"Your 9 o'clock is here."

Asami began looking through the papers for her planner, "Who?"

"Mayor Raiko," Li spoke and Asami's head shot up and she shot a glare at her secretary who shrunk under the intense look.

"That's today?" Asami said, Her tone sharp.

"Um, yes? He's waiting in the lobby right now..."

"Shit." Asami muttered as she continued to franticly shift through the piles of paper on her desk. "You can send him in. Wouldn't want to keep the Mayor waiting."

Li nodded, "Right away Miss Sato." She closed the door and Asami was left to continued looking for the proposal that the Mayor had submitted a week earlier all the while cursing under her breath.

The door flew open with a bang causing Asami to jump and look up to see Raiko standing there looking characteristically smug. "Hello, Miss Sato. Glad you finally decided to see me." God could he be any more entitled.

"My apologies but as you can see I am a busy person and I'd expect our esteemed mayor to understand that." Asami said with a smile, keeping her tone light and pleasant. It wouldn't do to burn bridges with the Mayor of Republic City.

"Have you had time to look over my proposal?"

"No."

"No? It's been a week."

Asami placed her hands on her hips, glaring up at Raiko, "Well as I said I am a busy person and yours isn't the only proposal I have gotten. I will look over it tonight and send your secretary an email any revisions I think need to happen."

Raiko seemed to mull over this proportion for a few moments before nodding, "I want to know your thoughts within the next few days. Understood?"

"I'll get it done as fast as I can. That's all I can promise." Asami rebutted and Raiko grunted.

"Fine." Before turning on his heel and leaving her office, slamming the door closed behind her. Once Asami was alone she returned to searching frantically for the proposal only becoming more frantic when she couldn't find it. It had to be here somewhere. Unless...

Quickly she dug her phone out from the pile of files and rung up Li who quickly answered with a chipper, "Yes Miss Sato?"

"Do I have any appointments for the next two hours?" She said a little too panicked.

There was silence on the other end as Li looked up her schedule, "Um, your next one is at 12. Why?"

"I need to run home and look for something. If they come in and I'm still gone tell them I will be back as soon as possible. Okay?"

"Alright Miss Sato..." She sounded a bit unsure but Asami didn't have time to reassure her that she was alright.

Asami stood up, grabbing her coat and making sure she had her keys before heading out of her office. The drive home took about 25 minutes on what should have been a 10-minute drive as every single stoplight seemed to want to turn red as she approached. Eventually, she pulled into the parking lot of her apartment and climbed out of her car and jogged toward the building. She pushed the door open and quickly walked toward the elevator. After calling it down to her she began tapping her foot impatiently as she waited for the elevator doors to open. When they did she jumped on and jammed her thumb into up arrow. The doors closed much too slowly for Asami's taste and as the elevator began moving upward she wondered if it had always been this slow. She continued to tap her foot impatiently until the doors opened in her apartment and she ran inside.

She nearly ran toward her office, which was where she kept all the files she brought home and began looking through them for the mayor's proposal. It had to be here. It had to be. She shifted through them until she noticed the file with Raiko's name at the top of the page. She let out a heavy sigh as she pulled the proposal out from under the other files. She tucked it under her arm and headed out of apartment and back toward her office.

Asami managed to make it back to her office by 10:30 and practically collapsed into her chair before she began looking over the proposal. It was a proposal for having Future Industries to help with modernizing the public transport system as part of his campaign. She could see some flaws already but nothing she couldn't point out in an email. She opened her email and quickly began drafting one outlining the flaws to Raiko's secretary. She was nearly finished with the outline and was about to fill in the details when her phone buzzed and without thinking picked it up expecting to see Korra's name on the screen but instead, it was simply a notification letting her know that she had a doctors appointment tomorrow. She let out a sigh before wondering if it would hurt to call her. I mean she had said she would text but she hadn't. So she could call her and make the excuse that she was worried. Yeah, that made sense. She would buy that.

She picked up her phone and quickly opened Korra's contact pressing the call button before pressing it to her ear. It rang once, twice, three times before Korra picked up. "Hey, Asami."

"H-hey." She mentally berated herself for the nervousness that emanated from her words. "What's up?"

"The sky, the sun, the clouds."

"Korra!" Asami admonished, "I meant with you. What are you up too?"

Korra laughed, "I know I know." The sound of cars could be heard on the other line, "I just got done doing..." Korra trailed off slightly before adding, "Stuff."

"What kind of stuff?" Asami asked, leaning forward on her desk.

"Just stuff," Korra said and Asami heard what sounded like the breaks of a bus in the background, "One moment, 'Sami." Korra muttered and Asami waited, listening as Korra stepped on the bus and paid the fair. "Alright, I'm back."

"So, where are you going?" Asami asked, hoping she didn't come off as desperate.

"To my dojo. I need to make sure everything's ready for the Earthbending lessons today."

"Earthbending?" Asami laughed, "But you're a Waterbender?"

"Yeah, but I couldn't exactly run a bending dojo if I didn't teach the other two elements now could I."

"I guess not." Asami drawled frowning slightly, "How do you teach Earthbending if you can't do it?" For some reason this caused Korra to laugh which caused Asami to feel like an idiot.

"I don't teach it. I just have to make sure the dojo is ready for Bolin's when he has his lesson today."

"Oh." Asami felt stupid that she had assumed that Korra would be teaching the class and not an actual Earthbender. "That probably makes more sense." Asami let out an embarrassed laugh.

"I meant what I said this morning."

"Huh?" Asami said and immediately felt like even more of an idiot.

"That I had fun last night and I'd be up for doing it again," Korra said and Asami was thankful for a topic to latch onto.

"I did too but I'd rather not make a habit out of trespassing on city property."

"Yeah." Korra laughed nervously, "Me neither." Asami was about to speak up when Korra beat her to the punch, "I was more thinking we could get coffee again and if we go earlier we could probably make it to the park while it's still open. Or we could just play at the shop?"

"I would like that a lot but I don't know if I want just get coffee again," Asami said, a smile pulling at her lips.

"Oh..." Korra said, sounding downtrodden, "So, you don't want to hang out?"

"What? No, no. I was just saying I don't know If I want to get coffee again and to be honest I'm kind of Pai Sho'd out."

"Oh," Korra said again, this time sounding thoughtful. "So what do you want to do?"

"Well..." Asami drew out the word suddenly of what it was she wanted to do until she remembered something that she had been wanting to do for ages but had kept putting off for one reason or another, "There is this movie I've been wanting to see. Maybe we could go together?"

"What kind of movie is it?"

"A romance. I saw the trailer and have been wanting to see it since."

"Oh." Korra didn't sound as excited as Asami had hoped she would. "Is that the only one you want to see?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"I'm just not a big fan of romance is all." Korra dismissed and Asami wasn't sure if she liked it. "How much do you want to see it?"

"A lot. The trailer looks interesting and most of the recent reviews are good." Asami hoped she could convince Korra to go with her. There was something Asami didn't like about going to movies, especially romantic ones, alone. It made her feel like a lonely old lady more than it probably should of.

"Fine. I'll go without." Asami had to physically stop herself from pumping her fist and saying yes under her breath. "On one condition."

"Oh? And what is that?"

"I get to choose where we go out to eat afterward. It's only fair after all."

"Eat? I didn't say anything about food."

"Yeah well, dinner and a movie is how people typically do these things right?"

"Yeah. I guess it is." Asami said, her tone thoughtful. "How about we take turns?"

"Turns?"

"Like, you can pick where we eat this time but next time you can pick the movie and I'll pick where we eat?"

Korra was silent for a while as she mulled over the proposition, "Sure, as long as you pick a place I can actually afford." Korra finally said with a laugh.

Asami laughed as well, "I will."

"Cool. So when do you wanna go?" The sound of the buses breaks was muffled slightly and Asami wondered if Korra had reached her stop.

"I was thinking maybe next Friday? Then it won't hurt too much if we stay out a little later then planned. Sound good?"

"Yeah. See you, Friday." Korra said.

"Yeah see you then," Asami said and Korra hung up. Asami was caught off guard by just how quickly she had hung up but it was probably a good idea since she really needed to finish the email to Raiko's assistant.

Asami set her phone to the side and threw herself back into her work with a renewed vigor.
