Next morning Korra awoke in her bed, only to find Asami sleeping peacefully by her side. Korra smiled, knowing that Asami was finally happy, especially after all the pain the raven-haired woman went through in her life.
Korra kissed Asami on the cheek. "Hey sleepyhead, how are you," asked Korra as Asami opened her eyes.
"Is it morning already?" asked Asami. Korra nodded.
"I have an idea. I heard Avatar Aang and Katara liked Penguin sledding. What do you say, would you like to try?" asked Korra
"That sounds exciting, but lets first have breakfast. I am starved," spoke Asami as she yawned, before exiting the bed.
After the two women dressed up, they journeyed to the dining room, only to find that the room was quite crowded. Tonraq and Senna were discussing something, Katara was eating her noodles, and Desna and Eska were silently staring at each other.
"Looks like our cousin has finally decided to join us," spoke Desna as both of them stared at Asami and Korra.
"When did you two arrive?" asked Korra
"Korra, I thought I should invite your cousins, they are your family too. It was quite easy to find them, as the Spirit Portals make the journey from one tribe to another very short.
The young women smiled, although Asami now felt as an outside a bit. Everyone in the room was related to Korra, and Katara was Korra's Water Bending teacher. Asami looked on the wall of the house; this did not go unnoticed.
"Asami, they are your family now too, you know," smiled Korra as the two ladies sat by the table.
The breakfast continued. Korra and Asami talked about their trip to the Spirit World. "It's good to see you smile, Korra," smiled Katara
"Asami," spoke the Chief of the Water Tribe.
"Yes, Tonraq," spoke Asami, remembering that Korra's parents asked her to call them by their names.
The Chief's face became serious. "Asami, we are all so happy that you and Korra are now together, but if you ever hurt my little girl," spoke Tonraq
"Dad! Stop scaring her," quickly replied Korra
Tonraq's face quickly changed, and he now smiled. "Don't worry Asami, unlike some people I know you wont hurt Korra," spoke Tonraq as he hugged his daughter in law.
"It is intriguing to see cousin Korra with a commoner," spoke Eska
"But she does look very civilized unlike your former fiancé," replied Desna
Tonraq interrupted the two. "Kids, I know you have your Northern Water Tribe Traditions, but in the Southern Water Tribe we don't care if someone is a commoner or not. I know you might not know much about Asami, but she is practically the Queen of the Republic Nations, with her wealth being rivaled only by that what was his name again? Ah yes, Varrick. Besides, I don't think it matters to Korra at all, so please respect the choices she makes," spoke Tonraq.
"Yes Uncle," agreed the twins as Korra and Asami finished their meal, and went outside.
"Your cousins are creepy," spoke Asami as Korra laughed.
"Tell that to Bolin. He still has nightmares about Eska," the two ladies laughed.
"So what were you telling me about Penguin Sledding?" asked Asami as Korra grabbed her arm and the two went.
"I will show you," the two continued walking and soon arrived to a group of Otter Penguins. Many of them were small, but Korra spotted a few quite big ones.
"Come, this will be fun," spoke Korra as she took out a few small fish from her pockets and showed them to the animals. The Otter Penguins instantly rushed towards the two women.
Soon both Korra and Asami were seated on the large Penguin backs. "What are we supposed to do?" asked Asami
"Sit on the Penguin, and guide it on the slide. Let's see who will get to the bottom of the cliff first," spoke Korra as the two began their small race.
Asami quickly understood the mechanics of this activity, and began pointing the penguin in various directions, occasionally making her penguin go faster than Korra.
Korra smirked, and waved her hand at Asami. Snow flew at the young inventor, and Asami briefly slowed down, with Korra now leading the race.
"Oh no, you don't" grinned Asami as she gained speed, and soon the two girls began circling each other.
"Look out," spoke Korra as they saw a large pile of snow ahead of them. The penguins crashed into the snow, and the two women fell on the ground.
"That was fun," spoke Asami as the two women laughed.
"Yup. I told you that you would like it," smiled Korra as both of them kissed.
"So, what now? I am kind of tired," spoke Asami
"I have an idea, let's form hot springs," suggested Korra as she shot fire at nearby snow, melting it. While the surrounding area was cold, steam rose from the small spring.
"I like that. The Southern Water Tribe is quite a cold place, much colder than the Republic City, and I am not so used to freezing temperatures," spoke Asami as she climbed in the spring, soon joined by Korra.
"We should visit the Fire Nation, I heard the temperatures there are rather warm," suggested Asami.
"Sounds like a good idea, but lets for now enjoy the moment here together," spoke Korra as the two women enjoyed the hot water.
The two women later returned to the house. Korra's cousins were gone already. When Tonraq and Senna found their daughter and Asami, they saw the two of them were packing.
"Father, we decided to visit the Republic City," spoke Korra as Tonraq approached Korra and hugged his daughter, and then hugged Asami.
"Good luck you two. I hope to see you soon," smiled Korra's parents as Korra and Asami waived, and went to the harbor, soon traveling to the Republic City.
"Where the hell is Korra? They have been gone for a month," asked himself Mako, as he walked on Air Temple Island. Bolin and Opal ended their kiss, as they observed angsty Mako in amusement.
