Korra wanted to get rid of her clothes. She never liked fancy things or skirts, not to mention jewelry. Of course, that wasn't the reason she never wore her betrothal necklace, but at least she wasn't lying when someone asked why there's nothing on her neck, when she's a fiancée and all.

She tried to pull the zippers, but after half an hour she still couldn't take off her dress.

"Need help?" she heard Asami's kind voice. Korra turned to see her closing the door behind her.

"Please", Korra said, turning her back towards her.

And finally, after twenty hours, she got rid of that dress.

"I thought I won't be able to breathe again", she sighed.

"You'll feel much better after a bath", Asami smiled, as she hung the dress up in Korra's wardrobe. "And then I can tell you some news."

"Good or bad?" she asked anxiously.

"Well", Asami started. "Better than nothing."

"You're going to see her, right?" Bolin asked. They were alone in the kitchen, Tahno went out for a walk a few minutes previously.

"I promised her", Mako answered.

"It's dangerous."

"I know."

"Mako", Bolin started, "you can't be serious! Guards are all around her house and also on the neighbouring streets, hiding in the dark, and if they find out who you are they'll sent you to prison, or worse!"

"I don't care!" Mako shouted, then sat down and covered her head into his palms. He never argued with his brother about anything.

"I have to see her, Bo", he said quietly. "There's no other chance. You have to understand."

"I understand", he said, putting a hand on his shoulder. "But I don't want you to get caught."

"I'll figure it out, okay? I promise."

Thirty minutes later, Korra stepped out of the bathroom and made her way to her room. The whole third floor was hers, and only hers, so no one interrupted her all day, except for very important things, for example when Tenzin visited her two hours ago.

"Do you want me to dry your hair?" Asami asked, as Korra entered the room, covered up in a towel and having an another one twirled around her wet hair.

Korra opened the balcony door. "Weather'll do it", she answered before stepping to her wardrobe to look for some clothes.

"I picked some out for you", Asami said behind her, then showed the soft blue skinny pants and the white top she had found.

Korra sighed. "What would I do without you?"

"Die in boredom?" Asami laughed. Korra put the pants and the top on, they were extremely comfortable. Much better than long skirts and tight dresses.

She stepped to the mirror. "How do I look?" she asked, shrugging, which meant that she doesn't really care.

"Pretty Avatar – at your service!" Asami stepped behind her. "You look amazing", she added.

It was hard to believe, compared to Asami who was next to her, in long, black boots and a fascinating red dress, her neck and her wrist covered in bijoux. But Asami was always honest to her.

Korra turned away from the mirror.

"So, what are the 'better than nothing' news?"

Asami smiled. "I know it's not a solution for all of your problems, but I talked to dad in the morning, and, well – you know, he does all the preparation work for your wedding, and..."

"Aaand?" Korra's face lightened up.

"He says good work needs time", Asami finished. "So, you got a plus month."

Korra didn't know what to say at first. "A... month?"

"I know it's not much, but –"

Korra wrapped her arms around her friend. "Thank you, Asami!" she whispered. "Thank you."

Asami returned the hug. "Anytime, girl."

It was dark when Asami left. Korra was laying on her bed, and in her boredom, she was practising with a glass of water. The water was floating above her, and she moved her palm slowly to keep it hovering.

Until she heard a bell ranging outside.

She knew this voice very well. It meant danger. It meant that the guards stepped into action.

Korra bent the water back to the glass quickly, and then ran out to the balcony. Under her, three of the guards were fighting with a boy. He was tall, and had black clothes on. It was easy to recognize his raven hair.

The guards raised their hands and water came out from their pockets: Korra knew they always have bottles full of water with them. The water turned into a cold sphere around the boy, and she could see he's not able to breathe.

She screamed, "STOP!"

Then, with a flash of bright light, everything went dark.

Mako felt the water around him, it was everywhere. He was freezing, and started to see black points behind his eyes.

"STOP!" he heard a voice screaming.

And it was over. The water flew apart, he fell to the ground, and hit his shoulder really hard. His leg still hurt. He felt dizzy, and tried to turn on his back.

He looked up to see two bare feet reaching the ground. A girl was standing there, air twirling around her. She looked like she's not actually standing, but floating inches above the ground. She raised her hands, then jumped and made a twist in the air, her legs up in the air, kicking in a rounded shape. Red flames were burning in the air, following the way of her toes. The guards stepped back, scared looks on their faces.

Mako coughed, his lungs were full with cold water.

"Leave him alone", he heard a voice. Voices, actually. One of them was familiar, but the others different, he never heard them before. They were speaking at the very same time.

"But..." one of the guards started, stepping closer to the girl, who was standing again, with clenched fists.

"No one will know about this", she said slowly, and he realised: every voice he heard before was coming out of her mouth. She looked into the eyes of every guard. "Especially not my father", she added, then turned to him. She had long, brown hair, her eyes were shining.

"Go", she said to the guards: they bowed and left quickly. Then, as she started walking towards him, the air stopped twirling, the bright light disappeared from her eyes, and she knelt down to him.

She touched his cheeks, gently.

"Are you okay?" she asked. Emotions returned to her face: she was worried.

Mako tried to focus. "Korra?" she whispered. "You're... you're the..."

"Yes", he heard her saying, before he passed out.

Whooohooo things are getting exciting, right?

Let me know if it's good or bad!:)
