"Korra, can I ask you a question?" Mako asked. Korra looked at him, wide eyed.
"What does the great Mako need?" She asked. Mako sighed and looked at his fiancée. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"After we get married, do you want, you know, kids?" The word was strained and forced to Korra. She blinked twice, and then a third time before answering.
"Well, um, I don't know, I guess but now too soon, ya know?" She told him. Mako smiled, and wrapped Korra into a tight hug.
"I love you" he told her.
"Love you too, now can we please get out of the closet, I think Tenzin is gone now!" Korra begged. Mako nodded and opened the closet to, to see Tenzin standing there, his arms crossed and giving them a stern expression.
"You two, dining room…NOW" Tenzin told them. They nodded, and headed to the kitchen. When they got to the dining room, they sat down and looked down at their hands.
"Now, you two, what have I told you about those naughty words?" Tenzin asked. Korra looked up from her hands and looked at him, guilt was written all over her face.
"Not to use them" she answered.
"That is right, now don't you ever, I mean ever let me hear those words again from your mouths ever again!" Tenzin told them.
"Yes, Tenzin" they both said.
"Oh, Tenzin, I need to tell you something" Mako told him. "Korra, wait in my room for me, okay?" Mako asked. Korra nodded and headed to his room.
"What is it, Mako?" Tenzin asked. Mako took a deep breath and looked at Tenzin.
"Well, sir, you know when I asked you if I could have Korra's hand in marriage?" Mako asked. Tenzin nodded, stroking his beard.
"Yes, I do remember that." Tenzin told him.
"Well, it's about that, and-"
"ARE YOU MEANING TO TELL ME THAT KORRA IS PREGNANT? HOW IRRESPONSIBLE CAN YOU TWO BE?" Tenzin hollered.
"No, no, Tenzin, it isn't anything like that! Korra isn't pregnant, don't worry!" Mako told him. Tenzin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at him.
"What is it then?" Tenzin asked.
"I was thinking, that Korra and I could get a place of our own, you know, away from Air Temple Island." Mako told him.
"WHAT!" Tenzin hollered.
"Not too far though!" Mako told him. Just then, Pema walked in, carrying tonight's dinner.
"What's going on?" She asked in her soft voice. Tenzin looked at her, and told her to come.
"Mako thinks it's a good idea, for him and Korra to move away from Air Temple Island." Tenzin told her. Pema looked at him and nodded.
"Well, I think it's a good idea!" She told him.
"WHAT, PEMA!" Tenzin shouted. "Kitchen, now" he told her. Pema followed Tenzin into the kitchen and stood there.
"What seems to be the problem, Tenzin?" She asked.
"Well, since Bolin and Asami are moving out soon, and now Mako and Korra who is going to babysit the kids while were gone?" He asked her. Pema made a face and put her hands on his face.
"Tenzin, Jinora is 17, Ikki is 14, Meelo is 12, and Rohan is 7, Jinora is old enough to watch her younger siblings!" Pema told him.
"No, she isn't, she is still a little girl in my eyes." Tenzin told her. "Plus, what if she isn't even paying attention? What if she is reading a book and not keeping an eye on her siblings?" Tenzin told her. Pema nodded, and then went wide eyed.
"You are right!" She told him. They both went out of the kitchen and into the dining room, where Mako was still seated.
"How far would you two be?" Pema asked.
"Twenty, thirty minutes away" Mako told her. Pema nodded and looked at Tenzin.
"I accept" she told him.
"Okay, fine, when are you moving?" Tenzin asked.
"In a week or so" Mako told him. Tenzin nodded.
"Alright, you are excused." Tenzin told him. Mako nodded and thanked him. Mako then ran to his room, ready to tell Korra the good news. When he reached his room, Korra was on his bed, fast asleep. Scared about waking Korra up, Mako went in his room and sat down on the floor.
"Mako" Korra said groggily. Mako jumped slightly and looked at her.
"Hey, Korra" he said to her. Korra smiled and got up from his bed.
"What did you ask Tenzin?" She asked him. Mako smiled and stood up and wrapped his arms around her.
"I asked if we could move out." Korra gasped and looked at him. "I already found the place." He told her. Korra nodded and looked at him.
"I'll see it tomorrow?" She asked.
"Tomorrow" he told her, not even telling her who was leaving the next to them when they move.
"I'm glad were moving out" she told him.
"Me too, Korra, me too"
"I'm tired!" She complained. Mako chuckled and unraveled his arms around her.
"Let's get some sleep, Korra" he told her.
"Yay" Korra cheered quietly before she lay back down on Mako's bed and fell asleep.
"Night, Avatar Korra" he told her, before he drifted off into sleep.

The next morning was blissful on Air Temple Island. No one was up, no one was shouting. It was actually quiet. Bolin decided to wake up early because of the silence. He was surprised that none of the children were up and telling everyone else to wake up as well. Not enjoying the silence, Bolin decided to go investigate of what was going on.
Bolin walked, briskly, making sure to look everywhere. No one was awake. Not a soul. This worried Bolin. Images of the war years ago started to pop in and out of his head, as he continued to walk down the hall.
Bolin ended up right in front of Asami's door. He gulped slightly, knowing how Asami was in the morning. Bolin knocked on the door softly.
"Come in!" She called out. Bolin was surprised to find someone awake on the deserted island. Bolin opened the door, and saw his beautiful girlfriend organizing some boxes.
"What are you doing, Asami?" Bolin asked. Asami stood up to full height and looked at her boyfriend.
"Making sure everything is perfect!" Asami told him. Bolin laughed slightly and walked over to Asami.
"You don't have to do that. Asami" Bolin told her. Asami smiled and looked at Bolin.
"Yes I do, we are moving tomorrow, and I got to make sure all of my boxes are labeled properly!" She told him. Bolin nodded and kissed her on her left cheek.
"I love you, Asami" Bolin whispered.
"And I love you, Bolin" Asami whispered back.

Mako woke up when the warm rays hit his pale face. He then put his arm up to the sun to block out the light that was streaming through the window. Groaning, Mako woke up, but was then pushed back down by a sleepy Avatar.
"Korra, come on!" Mako groaned. Korra laughed groggily.
"No, it's comfortable here" Korra told him. Mako kissed her forehead, and moved again to get up from bed.
"Maakkkooo" Korra complained.
"No, Korra, now get up, we have to be at the docks soon!" Mako told her. Korra groaned and released her arm from around him.
"You know how much I hate mornings…the morning is EVIL!" Korra told him, getting out of the nice warm bed, which was just begging her to come back.
"Yeah, Korra, I know, now hurry up" Mako urged her. Korra made a face and stuck out her tongue.
"Real mature, Korra" Mako told her.
"I never said I was mature!" Korra struck back.
"Korra, stop being a brat" Mako told her. Korra pouted and sat back on the bed. Mako rolled his eyes and took a seat next to her.
"You know I love you, Korra" he told her. Korra made a face and stood up.
"That's what you keep telling me!" Korra told him. Mako laughed and stood up as well. He then wrapped his arms around his very upset fiancée.
"That's only because, I'm telling you the truth, and love you" He gently said. Korra smiled a bit, and then busted out laughing.
"I love you, too, Mako" she said to him.
"Now, come on, Korra, we have to get to the docks!" Mako said to her. Korra made a face, but then got up from the bed again and got ready.
After what seemed to be forever in Mako's mind, Korra was finally ready to go. Stepping out of the bathroom, laughing and having a smile on her face, Mako couldn't help but laugh with her. Mako then, put his arm around Korra's waist, having her to giggle a little.
"What's the matter, Korra?" Mako asked his giggling fiancée.
"I have no idea!" Korra exclaimed, laughing harder.
"Nice, Korra," Mako said. "But can you stop, or else."
"Or else what, City Boy" Korra said to him.
"Or else, I won't kiss you on the way there and back" Mako threatened.
"You're evil, just like mornings!" Korra pouted. Mako laughed slightly, and then planted a kiss on top of Korra's head.
"Love you" Mako told her.
"I do not love you right now!" Korra told him, quite harshly. Mako frowned and started to look upset.
"Korra, how could you?" Mako faked cried. Korra rolled her eyes and kissed him gently on the lips.
"Sorry" she whispered, so only he could hear.
"I'm sorry, too" he told her. They then laughed and left the room.
They were about to get off of the island and into the boat that was already there, when Ikki stopped them. She began hopping up and down, clapping her hands together.
"So where are you going? Are you going on a daaattee? When are you getting married? Do you love each other? What does being in love feel like? Where are you going? Daddy says that you two are moving out, is that true?" Ikki babbled. Korra sighed and pushed the fourteen year old out of the way.
"Go inside, Ikki" Korra told her. Ikki pouted and walked inside of the Air Temple.
"You're no fun, Korra!" Ikki hollered behind her back. Korra laughed slightly and began to walk on board with Mako glued to her side.
"Bye, Ikki, see you at lunch!" Mako told her. Ikki perked up a little and waved back.
"Bye, Mister Firebender guy, who is also Korra's fiancé!" Ikki hollered. Korra laughed slightly and waved good bye to Ikki.
"Be good for your parents!" Korra told her. Ikki made a face before she went back inside.
Korra began to laugh as the salt water sprayed her face. The cool air whipped around them causing Korra to laugh even harder. When they reached the dock to Republic City, Mako took out a map. The map showed him where he was and how to get to his destination.
"So, you didn't memorize where the place was?" Korra asked. Mako studied the map even more, trying to pinpoint of where he was.
"No, why should I?" Mako asked. Korra rolled her eyes of how out of character Mako was being.
"Usually, you would be asking me that! And you should memorize, because we might be living there one day!" Korra told him, as he studied the map some more.
"Okay, I'm the irresponsible one this time, now come on I think I found the route" Mako told her. Korra rolled her eyes and followed Mako.
"This way" Mako told her. Korra laughed as Mako was facing some difficulties. Still laughing for about thirty minutes later, they came to a stop.
"We lost, Mr. Hat Trick?" She asked him. Mako groaned in annoyance.
"No!" He defended himself. Korra laughed some more, and turned to a shop.
"Well, I'll be in there asking for directions…what is this place called?" She asked.
"Okasaki's Apartments" Mako told her.
"Cute name" Korra said laughing. She then walked inside the little shop and closed the door behind her. Mako huffed and waited for her return. Just then he felt a tap on his shoulder.
"Are you lost sir?" Someone asked behind him. Mako turned around and saw a beautiful woman. She had long brown hair down her back, a heart shaped head, and a nice smile. Her teeth shone through her bright red lipstick and Mako just looked at her like any other girl.
"Yeah, but my fiancée just went in there to get directions." Mako told her. The young woman made a face when he said fiancée.
"What's your name?" She asked him, showing off her teeth once more.
"Mako" he told her. The woman gasped and looked at him.
"As in the Mako, from the Fire Ferrets" She said. Mako nodded his head, and she gasped some more. "Oh my Spirits, I used to watch all of your matches! And then I would listen to the ones that I didn't have enough money for!" She told him.
Mako just nodded, looking at the woman.
"What's your name?" He asked her. She smiled and looked at him.
"It's Yuki" she told him proudly. Mako nodded again.
"Say, Yuki, you mind leaving me alone?" Mako asked. Yuki shook her head no, and then crushed lips with him. Mako couldn't believe it, what was going on? This girl, he just met her, and she was already kissing him?
Mako heard someone gasp and then start to cry. Mako separated himself from Yuki, and looked to see the source of crying. Mako felt guilt rush through as he saw Korra run out of the scene, crying her eyes out.
"Korra, wait!" Mako yelled after her. He heard Yuki snicker behind him. He then turned around quickly to face her.
"What the heck? That was my fiancée!" He told her. Yuki smiled evilly and looked at him.
"Well, when she breaks up with you, you can come too little Yuki" she told him. Disgust filled Mako and he looked at her.
"That is just so fucking wrong! What is the matter with you?" Mako asked, running off to get Korra. Yuki didn't feel guilty though, she did this to everyone.

"Korra, come on, let me explain!" Mako said, pounding on the paper door.
"No! I don't want to talk to you!" Korra shouted through it.
"Please, Korra, please?" Mako pleaded to no avail.
He then heard her angry footsteps coming near the door. Mako remained strong and tried to calm himself down a bit. She then opened the door with such force that every paper or note in her room went flying around.
"Here, you can have this back, because I don't want to be marrying a CHEATER!" She shouted angrily. She then threw the betrothal necklace on the floor at his feet. Mako picked it up gingerly, and then he heard the door slam right in front of him. Mako slapped himself, calling himself stupid.

"Come on, Korra, maybe it was a misunderstanding" Asami told her. She had been trying to calm down the upset Avatar, but to no avail.
"I can't believe he would do that to me! Does he hate me that much?" Korra blubbered. Asami sighed and stroked her hair. She knew how Korra felt, she knew. It happened to her with the same guy, in the same way.
"Shh, Korra, I know how you feel." Asami told her. Korra looked up at her, her face was red and puffy and so were her eyes; some spit coated her lips as well.
"Thank you for being here with me, Asami!" Korra told her. Asami smiled gently and hugged her.
"Any time, Korra, any time" Asami whispered. Korra smiled and closed her eyes, ready to sleep. Asami smiled and tucked her into bed. Asami then stepped out of the Avatar's room, to be confronted with Mako. Asami made a face and narrowed her eyes to him.
"What you did, was wrong, Mako, how could you so heartless about a woman's feelings and heart?" Asami asked her ex-boyfriend.
"I didn't do it! The girl kissed ME!" Mako told her. Asami made a face in disgust.
"Just like last time, but the only difference was, you were dating me!" Asami told him.
"I didn't kiss her back!" Mako told her, his face red with anger.
"Mako, just don't talk to her, don't look at her or anything, unless you are able to tell Korra what really happened, you got that?" Asami asked. Mako nodded and watched Asami go to her room.
"What have you gotten yourself into, Mako?" Mako asked himself.
Weeks Later…
Asami and Bolin already moved out, leaving Korra and Mako, together. Korra still hasn't forgiven Mako for the kiss he shared with the random girl, while she went into the little shop to ask for directions. Korra didn't pay attention to him; instead she spent her time with the Air Children and helping Pema around the house.
Mako was feeling guilty, and he really wanted to wrap his arms around Korra and kiss her, but then again, she would probably push him away, and give him an evil glare. He missed Korra; he missed the way her hair smelled, and her smile that she would only give him.
Mako sighed and walked into dinner that night, as Korra shot him dirty looks. Mako felt even guiltier than before, he just didn't know what to do anymore.
Dinner that night was rice and some vegan dumplings. It was awkward for the both of them, more Mako than Korra though.
"Meelo" Korra said to him. Meelo looked up from a dumpling he was trying to put into his mouth and looked at Korra.
"Yes, Korra" Meelo said.
"You, too, Rohan, you better listen up." Rohan ears perked up and he looked at Korra. "You boys, never kiss another girl when you are engaged to be married, it could certainly ruin your relationship with the girl!" Korra told them.
"Okay!" Rohan told her, waving his arms in the air.
"Korra, what the hell" Mako yelled.
"Language, Mako." Tenzin told him.
"What do you mean, Mako?" Korra asked innocently.
"You know very well, what I mean, Korra!" Mako yelled across the table.
"Oh, really, Mako, do I really fucking understand?" Korra shouted.
"Language, Korra!" Tenzin told her.
"Oh, I think you do understand very fucking well!" Mako shouted again at her.
"Mako" Tenzin warned.
"Oh, shut the fuck up, Mako!" Korra told him.
"Korra" Tenzin told her.
"Shit, Korra, I told you I was fucking sorry!" Mako told her.
"Well, sorry isn't good enough, since you kissed someone!" Korra yelled.
"You two, in my office…NOW" Tenzin boomed. Korra looked at him, her face softening.
"Fine" they both said. They walked to Tenzin's office in complete silence, shooting daggers at each other in the process.
"Sit" Tenzin instructed them when they got into his office. They both took a seat, still shooting daggers. "Now, Mako, please tell us your side of the story of what happened that day." Tenzin told him.
"Okay, so it started out like any other day, Korra not wanting to wake up, and me telling her to do so, anyway, when we got ready and were actually on the boat, everything was peaceful and calm, Korra was enjoying the water, and I was enjoying her just being there with me. So when we got to mainland I pulled out a map, and started to look for this place, called Okasaki's Apartments. Korra was of course teasing me for not memorizing it, and I was rolling my eyes. Then we got lost and Korra went into a little shop to ask for directions, when this young woman tapped me on the shoulder. I was completely surprised, and then she started talking, then when she started to annoy me, I told her to go away. Of course she didn't, and then she kissed me, and I was in utter shock. When I heard someone gasp and cry I turned around to see Korra running away, crying. I then left Yuki my closing line was 'what is the matter with you?' that is pretty much it, Tenzin." Mako explained.
Tenzin nodded and looked at Korra.
"Your turn, Korra" he told her. Korra took a deep breath and looked at Tenzin.
"The beginning is the same for me, but then I went into the shop. So I asked the person were Okasaki's Apartments and the shop keeper told me it was just a little south from here, closer to the docks. I thanked the man, and walked out, that's when I saw Mako kissing another girl. I instantly felt heartbroken, and so I started to cry and ran, while Mako called after me. That's it." She told Tenzin. Tenzin nodded his head and looked at them both.
"Did you have any feelings towards this Yuki girl, Mako?" He asked him.
"No, and no I didn't kiss her back, I love Korra, and I feel crummy for doing that to her!" Mako told him.
"Korra" Tenzin said looking at his young pupil. But Korra wasn't there; she just disappeared out of nowhere.
Mako immediately stood up and ran out of the room. He searched for her everywhere, in her room, on the cliffs, even in the sky bison quarters, but he couldn't find her anywhere. Finally, he looked in the gazebo to find Korra looking out to mainland.
"Korra" Mako called. Korra turned around; her ocean blue eyes were glassy with tears. She didn't answer, instead she hugged him tightly.
"I'm sorry!" She told him crying into his shirt. He patted her head and kissed it.
"No, Korra, I'm the one who should be sorry, not you." He told her. Korra smiled and looked at him.
"What you said earlier, was it true?" She asked him. Mako smiled warmly.
"Of course it is, I couldn't imagine anyone else being my wife and the mother of my children." He told her. Korra smiled and kissed him gently.
"I love you" she told him.
"And I love you, too" he whispered. "Now, do you want your necklace back?" He asked her. Korra nodded her head, and went off with him to retrieve it.
Another few weeks later…
"Are those the last of the boxes, Korra?" Mako asked. Korra beamed at him as she put the box on Naga to take to their three bedroom apartment.
"Yeah, that's it!" She called back. Mako smiled and walked over to her.
"Hey, Mr. Hat Trick" she said to him.
"Hello, Mrs. Hat Trick" Mako said, nuzzling her neck.
"I am not Mrs. Hat Trick yet; Mako, but I do like the sound of it!" She told him. Mako smiled at her, and grabbed her hand.
"Come on; let's make a new chapter in our life." He told her. Korra nodded, and walked to the ship that was carrying their stuff.
