Author's Note:
1. The next chapter (Chapter 5) may not be out on time because Chapter 6 (which is the next one on my tumblr, whoviansaremagic) will take a bit of time to write.
2. The next chapter will also be kind of short, sorry.
ANyWaY, enjoy this chapter!
Chapter 4: Night and Day
Korra's POV
Korra was back at her mother's side with an armful of clothes and an odd, emotionless expression on her face. Her mother was about to inquire on it when Korra simply strode past her with an 'all business, no talk' look to her (in reality, however, Korra was simply flustered and didn't want to bother with talking to anyone). As such, Senna did nothing as Korra walked in and out of the dressing room, grabbing only what she needed, only when she needed it. After a little over an hour of this awkward silence, Korra had gathered all of her school supplies and carried them over to the cashier, card in hand.
Having purchased their things, Senna and Korra got back onto Oogi and flew all the way back to the Southern Water Tribe in relative silence, and, at 6:30 sharp, arrived at the door of their home. When they got inside, Korra was back to her normal self and smiled at her mother, who was walking toward the kitchen to prepare dinner, while walking to her room to pack her things.
…
"Alright, NOODLES!" Korra exclaimed excitedly, sitting down at the dinner table for the special meal her mother had prepared as a sort of parting gift. That dinner, of course, being traditional Southern Water Tribe Noodles for Korra since it was her favorite food.
As she ate, Korra and her mother shared some small talk and jokes, but Korra's mind was about 95% focused on the angel she'd seen at the uniform store earlier.
Asami...
...
Asami's POV
It was the most beautiful place Asami had ever seen. Bushes of vibrantly colored wild flowers sprung up along the sides of the rocky, natural pathway she strode. A strong hand held her own and tugged her along, beckoning for her to follow. Asami looked up, the bright, cyan blue eyes of her leader sparkling with childish adventure and wonder. When their gaze met, the girl smiled softly, wolftails swaying ever-so slightly in the wind. She opened her mouth, as if to say something and then –
I'm still tryin' my best,
Still tryin' to find my way back to your door
Asami groaned in agony and disappointment at the familiar sound of her phone alarm. Blindly reaching out a hand, she grabbed at nothing but air until she found her phone and turned the alarm off. Still upset about her ruined slumber, Asami crawled out of her massive, curtained, black and red bed.
Pulling back said curtains, Asami stood, still quite sleepy-eyed and swaying, and (instead of getting into her usual Future Industries jumpsuit, gloves, and boots) got dressed into a simple marron and black flannel, black skinny jeans, and simple black Converse™.
Looking back at the digital clock on her nightstand, Asami read:
Saturday, August 22nd, 8:02 AM
Only 2 more days until I might see the Avatar again. I wish I could bend time and make it go faster.
Sighing at her own thoughts, Asami strapped on her messenger bag, grabbed her motorcycle helmet, and headed downstairs to the garage, where her bike waited for her.
"Asami? Where are you out to so early on a Saturday?"
Asami stopped in her tracks, standing in the threshold of the garage, and slightly frustrated that she'd been caught. Whenever she got caught, Asami had to ask if her father needed anything, and Asami never escaped her father, who now stood only a few feet behind her.
"Just going into town to explore. Would you like anything, father?"
She already knew the answer though…
"No, I don't need anything."
Of cour- wait… What?!
"A word of advice though; if you're looking for something though, it may already be gone. You may go now."
Still partially flabbergasted, Asami attempted to make an acceptable response, but simply responded with, "Uh… okay. I mean, thank you father. I plan to be back around noon and will contact you if my plans change."
"Always be prepared for surprises, Asami, you never know what could happen."
And with that, he turned around and walked back into the Sato mansion.
After a few seconds of mindless staring, Asami regained her composure, hopped onto her Satocycle, and rode into town, determined to find a certain someone.
