Chapter 2
Korra and Asami were walking in the Spirit World. "Remember when we saw that funny spirit?" spoke Korra as the two ladies laughed quietly.
"Yes, he was amusing. It was funny though to see his face when he learned of the third portal to the Spirit World," spoke Asami as the two women continued walking, holding the other person's hand.
"That Owl Spirit incident was the funniest thing we encountered though," smiled Korra.
"Yeah, of course, it's not like you threatened to demolish his precious Spirit Library. Wait, you did tell him that," grinned Asami.
Korra took a deep breath. "This month has been so nice. I finally could do something pleasant that did not involve any fighting, except that owl thingy that is, but still. I don't know if I ever had felt so much at peace before,"
"Korra, you are a fully realized Avatar. You stopped so many evil people and brought happiness to so many people. You deserve your happy ending," spoke Asami
"Asami, while I did have almost three years of painful healing, it is you who should have her happy ending. In the first year I met you, I essentially stole Mako from you, then he and I got together. Our relationship did not last for long, but I was happy after I defeated Amon and later my Uncle. Zaheer and his buddies were annoying, but I survived that, and now I just saved the world,"
"Korra," began Asami.
"But you Asami, you are the one who lost everything. You lost your mother, than your father turned evil, then Mako left you, then Varrick stole your company, although you did get it back, and finally just after you reconciled with your father, he sacrificed himself for you," spoke Korra
"Korra, I know my life was not easy even though I was born in wealth. But that is in the past, for all what happened in the past, now I am finally happy," smiled Asami as she looked at Korra who blushed.
The two continued their journey. "I think one of my top favorite moments during our vacation was when we visited ex General Iroh. He is such a wise man, and his tea," spoke Asami as she closed her eyes fondly. The tea was amazing.
"I know, he helped me when I became a small child, and when I did not know what to do with Zaheer," spoke Korra as she saw glowing energy.
"I don't remember going to the Republic City spirit portal," spoke Asami.
"Perhaps we got lost?" suggested Korra
"You are right, it does not matter. I think it is quite fitting that we arrived to a Spirit portal exactly a month since we left the city. This was a great month," spoke Asami.
"Right. I still cannot understand how you could have more energy than me. I got really tired," complained Korra
"Well, I for one a great fighter, and you did fight a lot in the battle, plus you just recently recovered from that poisonous liquid metal, so naturally you had less stamina than me," smiled Asami
"Show off," spoke Korra as the two ladies laughed, before stepping in the portal. Next thing they saw was a frozen desert.
"This is not the Republic City," spoke Asami, as she instantly realized that her cloths did not prepare her for such cold weather.
"Don't worry, I am a Fire bender among other things, so I can keep warm," spoke Korra as she quickly realized that this still left Asami out.
"Hold on, I have an idea," spoke Korra as she hugged Asami and kissed her. The young inventor instantly felt warmth entering her lungs.
Asami opened her eyes, as she looked fondly at Korra, whose eyes turned white. Korra rose in the sky with the help of Air Bending. She then held Asami with one hand, and with the other created an air sphere around them. The sphere then flew away from the portal.
"Korra?" Asami's question was the last thing Korra heard, as the Avatar crashed into the snow and lost consciousness.
When Korra opened her eyes, she saw that she sat in a warm bed. Asami sat in a chair next to her. "Korra, you are awake," smiled Asami as she instantly hugged the Avatar, when she knew that Korra woke up.
"Where are we, Asami?" asked Korra
"You would not believe this," smiled Asami, "You can come in, Korra is awake,"
Korra looked at Asami in confusion, but the arrival of two new people in the room shocked her.
"Mom? Dad? What are you doing here?" asked Korra
"Sweetie, you crashed just outside the city last night, and Asami carried you in the city. After she learned this was your home town, she found us," spoke Senna as she looked at her daughter.
"Mom, dad, I, we have something to tell you," spoke Korra. Inside, she felt she should just hide under the bed sheets.
"Korra, we are your parents, and we respect choices you make. Although we were somewhat skeptical of that Fire bender boy, who proved to be a great hero, but terrible at dating women," spoke Tonraq.
"We love you Korra, and wish you to have a happy life," continued Tonraq as he then looked at Asami and smiled.
"So you are not mad?" spoke Korra
"No, we are so proud of our little girl," spoke Senna as Korra put her feet on the ground, exited the bed, and approached her parents.
"I love you two," spoke Korra as a small tear escaped her eye from happiness.
Asami smiled, as she observed Korra hugging her parents. "Asami," spoke Tonraq as he looked at the black haired woman.
"Yes, Chief Tonraq?" replied Asami
"Asami, you are family. Come here, and please join us. And you can call us Tonraq and Senna," Korra's parents smiled. Asami looked first at Korra, then at Korra's parents and tears ran down her cheeks.
She approached the three people, and also hugged them. Korra and Asami knew they were happy, but now Asami realized that while her parents were gone, she still had family who loved her.
A/N:
I thought that I should have included at least one more chapter. Yes, Korra and Asami spent exactly a month in the Spirit World, and this was intentional.
