We own nothing!

Chapter 2

Soft sobs could be heard from the farthest stall from the door. Asami was hugging her knees and leaning against the wall. She couldn't go back out there and face everyone. Not with her heart in shambles and her makeup running. There was a pain in her chest that seems familiar, but hurt worse than anything she had experienced before. Well, almost anything. It was similar to the feeling she felt when she lost her father. Pain, anguish, longing. All these emotions combined within her and now she couldn't do anything but cry.

Jinora stormed into the bathroom, unable to contain the cucumber aloe water she consumed an hour ago. As Jinora scavenged for a clean toilet , she heard soft sobs coming from the last stall. She tip toed towards the stall and instantly noticed the pure leather not to mention fashionable boots. Wait is that..Jinora thought as she stood in front of the door.

"Asami?" Jinora knocked softly.

There was no response. Asami just held in her sobs, hand over her mouth. She had to be quiet. She couldn't let Jinora hear her, though it was already too late. Jinora bent the air around her, allowing her to float up to the top of the door.

"I know its you Asami," Jinora said as she peaked through the top.

With a small whimper, Asami hid her face. "Excuse you! What if I was using the bathroom?"

"But you're not," Jinora chuckled. "Asami, please come out. Everyone is looking for you. Korra is losing her cool right now."

"Good," she sighed, sniffling. "Maybe she'll wake up and realize some things." She unfolded herself and stood up, brushing off her skirt. She dabbed at her cheeks gently and hung her head. She just knew her makeup was absolutely ruined.

Jinora sighed and grabbed a piece of tissue from the dispenser. She airbended it up the stall.

"Here." Jinora said. "You and Korra…"

Jinora paused, not wanting to make false accusations, but then remembering the spirit world encounter.

"You and Korra are together...Aren't you?" Jinora asked.

Asami looked up at her, completely shocked. "We were. After today, I don't really know anymore." She held one arm and rested against the wall. "Do you want me to let you in? It must be exhausting having to bend the whole time."

"How about you come out?" Jinora said with a smile. "We can talk about this, if you want."

She shook her head. "I'm not coming out. I'm a mess."

Jinora frowned but then thought of a good idea to get the young heiress out. She lowered herself down.

"Ok. I guess if you're not coming out I can just bring Korra here. I mean you're not going anywhere." Jinora teased as she opened the bathroom door.

"Bring her in here and neither one of you will make it out," she threatened, darkly.

Jinora chuckled, "She's the Avatar and I'm a master airbender. We can escape."

"I've lived all my life without having to rely on bending. I always find my ways and this would be no different." She peeked her head out of the stall, voice becoming soft. "Please don't get Korra."

Jinora quickly used her bending and pushed Asami out of the stall with a gush of wind. She smiled in succes.

"That wasn't so hard now," Jinora said with a smirk.

Asami stumbled to catch herself against the wall across from the stall when Jinora pushed her. "You don't have to be so forceful," she commented. "And I mean it! Don't go get Korra. Don't get anyone."

Jinora held her hands out in defense.

"No don't worry I wasn't." Jinora said as she walked towards the heiress.

"What's wrong Asami?" she asked in a concerned tone.

Asami didn't want to think about what was wrong. She could already feel the tears at the surface again. Jinora was so much younger than her. Could she really take advice from a barely teenager? "It's nothing," she finally settled on. It was always nothing when it came to Asami. She never told anyone how she felt and look where it got her. "Just go back to everyone else. I'll be out soon."

Jinora frowned, "It wouldn't be right if I just left you here like this. Listen Asami, I know this is about Korra. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure I'm not."

Jinora sat down on the tiled floor gestured for Asami to follow. Asami sat next to Jinora and hugged her knees. The young airbender took notice of her saddened expression.

"I saw you and Korra in the spirit world not too long ago. The spirits guided me to a field of flowers and I saw the two of you laying there. I was really confused at first, then I realized, from your wide smiles and cheerful chuckles, that the two of you might have something romantic going on, but I didn't want to make false accusations so I kept quiet...I was actually going to ask you about it today."

The Airbender let out a small chuckle, "But I guess I don't need to."

Through the entirety of Jinora's little speech, Asami was at a loss for words. She tried to recall her memories from the vacation with Korra. When were they in a field of flowers and what did they do in that field of flowers? Had Jinora witnessed something intimate? But no, she remembered the field of flowers all too well. They just laid there together, talking and playing with each other's hair. It was a nice time.

"We were planning to tell everyone about us at dinner. We were going to spend the day here at the festival and then go to dinner later tonight with everyone. That's where we were going to tell everyone. It seems stupid now. Even childish. Who thought that telling everyone over a meal would be the best choice? What if someone reacted badly and choked? What if someone threw up? What if someone slipped or actually stabbed themselves? That was a dangerous place to come out. It doesn't matter anymore, though. I think Korra and I are done. It was great while it lasted, though." She sighed and rested her head on her knees.

Jinora placed a hand on Asami Shoulders and smiled.

"I don't think so. Korra is out there probably flying around the city worried sick about you. Asami, I see Korra everyday on the island. I see her and she's so full of life and happy. Whatever you guys have, she isn't willing to let go that easy. Who cares what everyone will think. Love is love and it comes in different forms and I think what you and Korra have is beautiful. And as for our friends, well we're team Avatar are we not? So they'll be shock yes, but I think they'll be happy for the two of you."

She lifted her head and watched Jinora talk. The Airbender might have only been fourteen but she was far more wise than her years allowed. Asami gave a smile, wiping away her tears. "I saw Korra and Mako, though. I'm so afraid of them getting back together. It's my biggest fear. I don't want to be left like that again. I don't want to be the second choice. Everyone seemed so excited when they thought that they were getting back together, though. It made me feel like I wasn't even part of our group of friends anymore. Like I didn't matter. I left and no one even noticed!"

Jinora threw her arms around the young heiress.

"Well look what were doing now Asami. We're looking for you." Jinora reassured. "Opal was so excited that she didn't even let me finish. They're excited because they don't know about you and Korra. I bet when they find out they'll be happier."

"Korra and Mako were hugging, though, like they had talked it out and decided to get back together." She leaned into Jinora's embrace. "I don't want to lose Korra like this."

"You're making assumptions Asami. Mako and Korra have hugged before and they mean nothing by it. There friends. They love each other yeah, but they love each other as family now. Listen, Mako and Korra were stepping stones for each other. One that was not meant to last, but teach a lesson." Jinora said as handed Asami a piece a tissue.

Asami accepted the tissue and wiped at her face, nodding. "Yeah. You're right. I think I'm ready to see Korra now. Could you go get her for me?"

Jinora nodded and swiftly stood up. She headed towards the door, but was stopped by the young heiress.

"Jinora, Thank you." She said with a small smile.

Jinora smiled back, "Anytime".

Korra had flown all around the city and found no trace of Asami, her anxiousness grew as she landed on the park where her friends stood awaiting her.

"She wasn't at the docks or park," Bolin said with a frown.

"I circled the grounds at least three times now, no sign of her Korra." Mako said with a concerned expression.

Korra clutched her hand into a fist and looked down at the ground. Her anger boiled and she was inwardly cursing herself. She felt her hands grow warm as she remembered Asami's hurt face.

"Ah!" she yelled as fire exploded from her fist.

"Korra calm down we-" Kai was cut off.

"Guys I found her!" Jinora announced as she ran up to the group.

Korra turned her attention to Jinora, her heart panged with happiness and guilt.

"Where?!" she asked urgently.

"The bathroom," Jinora answered pointing towards the general direction.

Korra immediately took off towards the bathroom. She busted the door open and there she was. Pretty and perfect, leaning over the sink, fixing up her makeup. Korra let out a sigh of relief and ran up to Asami, wrapping her arms around her waist and holding her close. She buried her face in her girlfriend's shoulder.

"Asami," she began, but Asami held up a hand, telling her to shut up. Korra was confused, but Asami pushed Korra's arms off of her and turned around looking down on her.

"I don't want you to say anything." Asami didn't touch the other. Her face was unreadable. Korra felt awful. Her mind was spinning. All she could think was, this is it. This is when she's going to break up with me.

Korra closed her eyes. She didn't want to see Asami's face when she said it. She didn't want to ever see Asami in that much pain ever again. But she didn't hear those awful words. Instead, she felt familiar hands cupping her cheeks, bringing her in for a light kiss. Korra opened her eyes and drew Asami in closer. "I'm so sorry," she managed before Asami kissed her again.

"I said I didn't want you to say anything," she reminded her with a smile. "I'm sorry, too. When I saw you with Mako-"

"I don't want you to say anything," she mocked. "It's okay. I understand, but I promise that I love you and no one else, so don't ever think I'd leave you for anyone. Especially not Mako."

Asami laughed and the two embraced. "I told Jinora about us. I know you wanted to tell everyone over dinner, but I had to talk to someone and she ended up helping me a lot."

"It's okay. I told Mako." She shrugged. "He pissed me off, thinking you were upset because you liked him and if I didn't tell him we were together, I really would have punched him in the face."

The taller woman laughed again. "So what do you say? Shouldn't we just go on and tell the rest of them?"

Korra reached out for Asami's hand, intertwining their fingers. "Let's do it."

The pair stepped out of the bathroom and Korra led them to the park, where everyone was waiting for them. They never once let go of each other's hands. When they finally got there, Korra cleared her throat.

"Alright, everyone, listen up. Asami and I have something important to tell you." Korra looked to her lover and then back at all their friends. "For the past few months, Asami and I have been going steady."

"Going steady?" Mako piped up. "Don't be so serious about it," he teased, trying to lighten the mood.

"Wait what? Seriously?" Bolin said in a shock tone. He paused for a minute, everyone expect Mako and Jinora paused for minute. Their faces plastered with shock just like Bolin's.

"I feel so awful!" Opal exclaimed with a frown. "No wonder you were so confused!"

Bolin waved a hand to silence Opal.

"Nevermind that. Why didn't you tell us?!" Bolin asked in excitement. "Guys thats….thats awesome!"

"Two gorgeous ladies falling in love! I'm jealous," Wu commented with a smile. Wu quickly took out his camera and snapped a picture of the couple. "Now that's going on the wall."

"Hey love is love right?" Kai said with a smirk.

"I can't think of a single person who deserves either of you more than each other," Mako said with a smile.

Asami smiled a gratefully at Mako. Her eyes expressed gratitude and Mako smiled back with equal happiness.

Jinora nodded in agreement. "Now you should consider telling your parents, Korra. I remember dad saying something about them visiting soon."

With her free hand, Korra reached around to rub the back of her neck. "Uh, yeah. I should."

Asami took note of Korra's worried expression. She leaned in to peck her cheek and whisper in her ear, "Don't worry. We can figure it out together."

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!

We had a lot fun writing this second part. Fun fact, my partner and I took roles when writing the dialogue...how did we do?

Thanks to Aceina, Blackace 70 and the two guest for dropping a review:) We appreciate your feedback and thoughts. We are very glad that you guys like our story and we will definitely write more one shots or two shots like Turbulence:) Thanks for the support! My partner and I are thinking of writing another one shot where Korra tells her parents and everyone else she considers family(The Beifongs, Tenzin, etc.). So keep an eye out for Ecrivons!
