Tenzin sat on the meditation grounds keeping his mind at peace, "Keep your mind at peace. This wedding is going to turn out fine. It's not going to be anything like Varrick's wedding."
He shivered from the memories of that night, when Varrick climbed on his father's statue, farting in its eyes.
"Relax. Keep calm. Nothing will be as bad as Varrick," Tenzin took deep breaths, "There, everything is at peace."
"HEY TENZIN!"
"If only for a moment. Bolin, you came early,"
"Yeah. I heard Mako came and I thought I should come early too!"
"Yes. You didn't bring anyone else with you?"
"No just me. I was actually wondering where Korra is,"
"She's somewhere yelling about Amon! If you can figure out what's wrong and fix it I'll-
"You'll do something for me?" Bolin was on his knees and a twinkle in his eye.
"Yes, anything! Now leave me to meditate!"
"You got it, Tenzin!" Bolin ran to find Korra.
Tenzin sat and began meditating, "Wait, I should've asked what Bolin wanted. No he couldn't want something ridiculous. Could he?"
Korra leaned against Naga at Air Temple Island's dock, "Only a few more hours, girl. And I'm going to be married to the most beautiful woman in the world."
"Oh Korra, you are so wonderful being married while I'm stuck being your pet, never finding my mate," Naga looked behind her and barked at the apparition.
"Amon-
"This is the fourth time I've shown up, and you're still going to act surprised? You'd think you get used to it by now, but nooooo," Amon snarked at the Avatar.
"You know what!? I'm not even going to talk to you! You can spend the rest of the afterlife being ignored!" Korra yelled at the ghost.
"Oh I'm so frightened! You know that's going to do nothing," Amon waited for her response, "Well I'll be there to annoy you when you're talking to someone."
Korra pretended the phantom wasn't there. She took Naga's brush and began brushing her mane, humming while she groomed her dog.
"Oh I see, you're ignoring me. Excellent Avatar. Following up with your plan, I commend you," the ghost clapped his hands passive-aggressively.
"Oh man Naga, I've been looking forward to this day for weeks!" Korra hugged her polar bear dog.
"Korra, I'm happy for you and I'm going to let you finish, but you ignoring me is starting to annoy me!"
"Naga did you hear something? I thought I heard something,"
"Now you're just being cruel,"
"Coming from the guy who took bending away from hundreds of people!"
"Are you still mad about that? Korra, you need to learn how to let go,"
"Do you want to go back to being ignored, Amon?"
"Please no, I'll be a good ghost,"
"You're darn right you'll be a good ghost," Korra turned back to brushing Naga, "So what did you want by the way?"
"To haunt you,"
"Is there anything else you could be doing besides haunting me!"
"No. Being a ghost limits my social skills," Amon looked at the ocean, "Curse you Tarrlok."
"How has he been?"
"I haven't seen him yet. So... dead. He's dead,"
"Oh. Well then. So when you said you saw everything you-
"HEY KORRA!" Bolin shouted at her.
"BOLIN!" she ran to the earthbender, holding him in the air.
"WHOA! You're stronger than before,"
"You want to see me lift Naga?"
"Won't that hurt her?"
Korra laughed at Bolin, 'It's good to see you again, what have you been up to?"
"Oh you know, helping Opal and the other Airbenders out," Bolin looked away from Korra, "So, I heard about you and Amon. Care to explain that?"
Korra's face became disheartened, and she sat on the edge of the dock, "Tenzin sent you here didn't he?"
"Actually I came looking for you, and I asked Tenzin, then he started yelling about you yelling about a ghost,"
"Did someone say ghosts?" Amon rose from the water.
"It's nothing important," Korra looked away at an offended Amon, "What did you need me for?"
He sat next to her, "Oh, I was actually looking for some advice," Bolin blushed and looked down at the water, "About Opal."
Korra turned to him and smiled, "Oh yeah how are you two!?"
"We're great, things are really great between us! Really, really great!"
"If I can be redundant, that's great!"
"Yeah, it is,"
Korra narrowed her eyes at the earthbender, "Is there something going on Bolin? Something you're not telling me?"
"Of course it's something he's not telling you. He hasn't told you," Amon chided her.
Korra gave the ghost a dirty look but turned to Bolin when he sighed, "Well. I had this plan where I was going to propose to Opal at your wedding, if that's ok with you?"
"Of course,"
"Alright, awesome. So I was going to propose to Opal during the wedding reception, but," Bolin's usually energetic face was now lifeless and cold, "But when I went to talk to Opal, I. I couldn't look at her or talk to her. It felt... awful."
"Bolin?"
"And what if I can't talk to her again? Korra, I love her. I love Opal more than anything in the world. But I don't know how I could live, not being able to look her again," Bolin slumped his head between his knees, "What do I do, Korra?"
Korra watched his friend slump over thinking to herself, "Ok, what do I say to him?"
"Tell him that it's ok to be nervous," she looked up at Amon, "But don't beat yourself up. If you find yourself in a hole, don't dig yourself deeper. Tell him that."
Korra nodded at him and turned to the earthbender, "Bolin, it's... ok to be nervous. You know. It's a natural thing," Korra sighed, "Just.. don't beat yourself up about this. You're just nervous about this, it's no reason to dig yourself a deeper hole than what you're in."
"So, I can be nervous around her?" Bolin asked.
"It is natural to be nervous, but don't show your unease around Opal. You must show confidence to her, if you want to prove yourself worthy to marry her you shouldn't show cowardice," Amon answered for Korra.
"Yeah, Bolin. It's ok to be nervous. But don't show that to Opal. If you want to prove to her you're worthy of her hand, don't be a coward," Korra repeated Amon's words.
"Ok. So, can you help me with that?"
Korra waited for Amon to help her, "Offer to pretend to be Opal for him."
"Bolin, pretend I'm Opal and propose to me," Korra stood and pulled Bolin up.
"Uh, Korra. Is this appropriate to do on your wedding day?" Bolin questioned her.
"Yeah it's ok. Now pretend I'm Opal. Don't look at my face, pretend it's Opal," Korra told him.
Bolin took a deep breath, "Opal, we've known each other for five years. We've had our ups and downs, but these last two years have been some of the best I've had. And I wanted to ask if," Bolin bowed on his knee, "Opal, will you marry me?"
Amon nodded at Korra, "That was great, Bolin. You're ready."
"Thanks, Korra!" he hugged her tight, "Do you think she'll say yes!?"
"I don't see how she could say no to you," she smiled at him, "C'mon, let's head back up there, tell them I'm fine. And I need to get some more food, I barely ate anything!"
"ALRIGHT! LET'S GO EAT AND LET'S GET YOU MARRIED!" Bolin shouted with Korra.
Amon floated on the water, "I would eat too but I'm dead."
A/N I've noticed this fic is pretty dialogue heavy. Is this a problem and should I write more about describing what's going?
