Gift.

Back at the city, Team Avatar met up for a late lunch. It was an easy-going meal where everyone was happy and calm. Everyone, that is, except for Korra. She was on edge; she only had about three hours to conjure up a gift for Mako. What am I going to get him? I can't get him clothes, I already do that. It has to be something special. Bolin said simple. Okay, think simple. What's simple? A phonograph? No, that's too fancy. A pet? No, that's not good either, he already has to take care of Bolin, and he beats himself up if he can't take care of something. Gosh, what does he want! Come on Korra, think! You're the Avatar, you can do this. As Korra was berating herself, Bolin smoothly manipulated Mako into helping him run some errands for Toza, claiming that they need to go out and buy new equipment that he couldn't carry alone. As the brothers left, Korra turned to Asami for help.

"Asami, please help me. I don't know what to get Mako for his birthday."

"Oh Korra, I'm sure he'll love anything you get him. I mean he already has what he wants."

"Oh really? Damn, that means there's nothing I can get him?"

"That's not what I meant, but if you really are set on getting him something, why don't you go to the market and find something. Better go now before the party."

"Yeah, I'll go. Thanks Asami! I'll see you later tonight."

"See you, good luck!"

Korra searched though each stand at the market, but came out with nothing. She spent almost two hours trying to find a gift. It seems that time was not on her side today. Korra needed to leave and get ready if she was going to be there in time for the surprise. Admitting defeat, Korra returned to Air Temple Island and got ready. She put on a summer dress that revealed her toned legs and slender back. It was one of Mako's favorites, so Korra thought it would be nice for her to wear it for him. The only problem about the dress was that she didn't have shoes for it. Asami usually lent her shoes when she stayed on the island, but now that the war was over, Asami and the brothers went back to their normal living quarters. The only place Korra thought to look was the storage room. It was filled with boxes and boxes of unpacked items that ranged from books to shoes to equipment. Korra checked the clock, she only had twenty minutes to find some shoes and make it back to the arena, it looks like she was swimming there instead of taking the ferry. Korra sped around the room, searching frantically through every box. She stumbled upon a box that seemed to be full of personal belongings. There were old family photos, some jewelry, and finally a pair of shoes. She slipped on the shoes and headed for the Yue Bay. With Korra's typical flare, she dived into the water and made her way to the arena.
