This is a part of my Tales series. Taking inspiration from the Last Airbender episode, "Tales of Ba Sing Se". I'll be producing two simultaneous versions, one based during TLAB and revolving around those characters and one based on LOK and those Characters. Find them in that series' specific category. Also check out my LOK fanfic: The First Avatar (one of the characters in the LOK tales is an OC from there, she'll be getting her own tales and may appear in others)
Genres will vary from tale to tale, but will include, Romance, Humour, Angst, Tragedy and and Family. All Tales will be T-Rated.
These Tales will be brief but frequent (when possible) and may contain spoilers to TLAB and LOK. I will inform you of spoilers and if possible, the episodes they are from.
I do not own Avatar. I hope you enjoy!
Genre: Comedy/Romance
Spoilers: For episodes 5 and 6
Timeframe and Location: Before Aang's death. Air Temple Island.
Tales of The Legend of Korra
Tale of Pema: 1
The Battle for Tenzin
A young female Air Acolyte was in place she shouldn't. Doing something she shouldn't.
The girl was Pema. She was quite beautiful, a big hit with the male acolytes but she always shot them down. She was a shy girl but would not be bullied or messed with when she really wanted to do something.
And the thing she really wanted was Tenzin.
Tenzin was 15 years older than her but she didn't care. He was wise and handsome and strong. And the son of Avatar Aang. And taken. By the chief of Police.
Lin Beifong was a beautiful and strong woman but her devotion to Republic City meant that she and Tenzin had drifted apart the last few years. They were still together but Pema wouldn't let that get in her way.
Mustering up all of her courage, the young acolyte moved from her hiding place behind a tree in Tenzin's private garden to speak with the man, sipping tea as he sat on the steps leading to his home.
"Hello Pema" the kind man greeted her with a smile.
Pema's heart skipped a beat, "Uh- uh hello Master Tenzin, um how are you?" she asked nervously.
"Please, just call me Tenzin and I am fine, thank you for asking" he responded calmly.
"I wanted to say something to you" Pema said, trying to stay coherent. She was blushing madly and hiding her face behind her fists.
Tenzin was worried for her; he stood up and placed one hand beneath her chin, lifting it gently so he could put the other on her forehead.
"Well your warm but other than that I don't think you have a fev-UMPTH" Pema smashed her lips against his, holding him in a passionate kiss loving the tickle of his beard. She was delighted to find him returning the kiss. The romantic moment was cut short when a metal cord wrapped around her tightly and pulled her backward by her waist. Both of them turned to see the other end of the cord connected to a very angry policewoman. The chief to be exact.
"You- you're under Arrest!" Lin shouted, her face contorting with anger.
"For what!" screamed the bound acolyte.
"For stealing my boyfriend!"
It took quite a while for Tenzin to get Lin to release Pema, who despite being a cute, shy and polite little acolyte, really could swear like a sailor! Lin recalled her coil and turned on her heel, "I'm leaving you Tenzin" she said coldly as she walked away.
"I'm sorry for that" Pema said sadly as she stood behind Tenzin.
"Well…" Tenzin turned to face her, "I've just lost my girlfriend, you need to take responsibility." He stated.
Pema looked confused but Tenzin smirked before kissing her deeply. Pema immediately realised what he meant and returned the kiss.
They have been together ever since.
This tale was a request made by reader.
This is how I picture Pema winning over Tenzin. If you wondering why it was so easy, just think of it as love at first sight for tenzin!
