When Korra and Asami returned to the Republic City, they saw from their ship that the city was in celebration. "I did now that we would arrive just for the holidays," spoke Korra.
"I know. With all this Kuvira stuff, one tends to forget when the holidays will occur," agreed Asami as the two young women jumped on the docks.
"Let's talk to our friends. I imagine they would all be so surprised," spoke Korra
"Sure. Bolin will probably be very amused, but also be supportive. Mako on the other hand," spoke Asami as the two women looked at each other and laughed.
When they approached the City Hall, they saw that a large celebration was already taking place. "Come, this will be fun," spoke Asami as she grabbed Korra's hand and the two of them walked towards the staircase.
"Do you have an invitation?" asked a security guard, looking suspiciously at the couple.
"Do I need one?" smiled Korra as she rose in the air with her air bending, and then created some fire.
"I am so sorry Avatar Korra, this way," spoke the guard as he let the two women enter the building.
"Are you sure you are OK, Korra?" asked Asami
"Yeah, I am fine," replied Korra as Asami stared at her.
"Alright, you won. Yes, I am slightly underwhelmed and scared. What will everyone say? What if," began Korra as Asami hugged her.
"Don't worry, everyone loves you here, and nobody would fill ill about this, about us," smiled Asami as the two finally arrived on the scene.
The Hall was very busy. Tenzin stood next to Lin and Raiko, discussing something. Varrick and Zhu Li were dancing on the floor. Bolin and Opal were laughing with the Air Babies, although Jinora sat separately, holding hands with Kai. Mako was just sitting at some table, reading some police reports.
"As I was saying, the city expansion and renovation," began Tenzin as he looked on a side, before he spotted two people who were gone for a month.
"What is it Tenzin, is something wrong?" asked Lin as Tenzin ignored her and approached the two newcomers.
"Korra, Asami, it's good to see you again," spoke Tenzin as she hugged Korra. Korra was happy to reunite with her Air Bending mentor.
"Tenzin, there is something we have to tell you," spoke Korra as she blushed.
"Korra, Asami, you don't have to tell me anything. I knew you wanted to speak with Korra alone Asami, and while what you told me was plausible; I was skeptical. When I returned to the dance floor, I confirmed my suspicions," spoke Tenzin.
"Tenzin, Korra, I," began Asami
"You don't need to explain why you lied to me. I get it. You wanted to spend alone time together. Later, I did learn that you two were safe though, so I was not worried,"
"Tenzin, thank you for being so understanding,"
"Of course Korra, I am happy that you finally can be happy," smiled Tenzin as he prepared to leave.
"Wait, you told that someone told about us," grinned Korra
"What was that? Hold on, Pema needs my help with Rohan," spoke Tenzin as he quickly run away. Asami shook her head.
The two women approached Bolin first, who was already kissing with Opal. "Bolin, look around," spoke Opal as she giggled.
"What is it Opal?" asked Bolin as he turned around and saw his two friends.
"Guys, I missed you so much," spoke Bolin as he stood up and hugged both Korra and Asami.
"It's nice to see you Bolin," smiled both women.
"Korra? Korra is here," spoke Ikki as the three Air babies ran towards Korra before hugging her. Rohan was absent, as his mother was sitting with him at another table.
"Hello Korra," spoke the Air Benders at the table.
"Hello beautiful woman, can I finally have some of your hair? I can draw your portrait in exchange," spoke Meelo quickly.
"Thanks Meelo, but I like my hair," smiled Asami as Korra chuckled. Meelo was still quite silly.
"Why don't we all speak with Mako," suggested Bolin, "and then the Team Avatar will be finally back together,"
Korra and Asami both nodded, and the three friends walked towards Mako who was still reading his police reports. "Aww, I wanted to have her hair," spoke Meelo sadly.
"Meelo has a crush," grinned Ikki. Jinora shook her head.
"Ikki," spoke Jinora as she whispered into Ikki's ear.
"They what! Hold on, I wanted Korra to get married in the sky," spoke Ikki as she jumped in her seat.
"What's up with your sister, Jinora," asked Kai
"Let's just say a part of her suggestion on how to find love to Korra became true, metaphorically speaking" spoke Jinora as Kai looked at Korra and Asami, who were holding hands, and realized what his girlfriend meant.
The Team Avatar finally approached their last member. Mako continued to read his police reports. "Let's see," spoke Mako when Bolin called him.
"Mako, look who returned to the Republic City," smiled Bolin as Mako looked, and saw the rest of the New Team Avatar.
"Korra! Asami! I saw that you," began Mako as he promptly put his reports in front of his face.
"Wait, you saw us? When?" asked surprised Korra
"Don't worry, it was just as the Air Babies would put it, a very romantic event. I mean, many people kiss, but," spoke Bolin
"Oh no," spoke Korra quickly as Asami chuckled.
Mako put his reports on the table and stood up. "That's not fair. I wanted to tell you Korra that I would always be there for you, and we all would always be friends. But you, Asami, I can't, it's just hard for me to process," spoke Mako as he tried to leave the table.
"Mako," spoke Korra as Mako stopped, "I know we have a history, but with everything we went through together as Team Avatar made us all close. I am sorry if I hurt your feelings, but I love Asami,"
Mako closed his eyes, "It wont be easy for me to know that both of my exes became a couple, "spoke Mako.
"Mako, I know this is hard, but life will go on, you will find someone special in your life. We can all be friends," smiled Asami
"Let's have a hug," suggested Bolin as the four of them hugged.
"Where are you going Korra?" asked Asami
"I wanted to make it official, this, us," spoke Korra
"But aren't you still afraid what others would think?" asked Asami
"Yes, but I don't want for rumors to spread. I wanted everyone to know what we feel towards each other," spoke Korra as the young couple went to the journalists.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I am Avatar Korra, and I have something to tell you," spoke Korra as all the cameras were now focused on her.
"All these years I fought to protect people in the World; be it in the Republic City, or in other places. A month ago, I defeated Kuvira, and created the new Spirit Portal in the city. But this was not the only major thing that occurred that night, besides the Varrick and Zhu Li wedding that is,"
"Avatar Korra, what are you trying to say?" asked one reporter.
Asami approached Korra and the two held both of their hands. When the two women looked lovingly at each other, the public gasped. Korra and Asami then looked back at the press and spoke at the same time.
"We are married," smiled the women as they kissed. The next thing the two heard were the noises of many photos being taken.
Later, after Korra and Asami talked to the press about their relationship, they journeyed to the dance floor and began to dance. "I can't, they both are finally so happy," spoke Bolin as tears escaped his eyes.
"Bolin," Opal lightly smacked him on the hand, as he looked at her and the two hugged. Many other couples soon joined the floor and began dancing.
"Why do I have to be so unlucky," spoke Mako with disappointment as he sat on the chair, looking at the dance floor. Meanwhile, the Avatar and the CEO of the future industries were dancing in the middle of the dance floor, holding each other gently.
A/N: after thing about this, I wanted to write another chapter here about Korra and Asami's return to the Republic City.
