DAY 3! Prompt: Flirt and still waiting for some reviews. how is a writer meant to know if they are doing something right without feedback? Anyway, because i love the pairing, read, review and enjoy.

Lin sat at the bar drinking her fire whiskey like she did every Friday night. The only difference between this Friday night and every other was that today the bar was empty, save for a couple of patrons drowning their sorrows. She thought about calling it a night when she saw a beautiful Water Tribe girl walk in. She watched as the woman ordered her beverage then looked at her direction. Lin quickly avoided her gaze, and hoped that she couldn't see the blush on her cheeks.

The officer kept her head down even when she felt a presence place itself in the chair next to her. "I'm a thief, and I'm here to steal your heart."

"May want to try a different pick up line." Lin finally looked up at the woman, and tapped the gold badge on her breastplate. "Also, that was one of the worst pick up lines ever. No introductions, you just dived right in."

"Alright, my name is Kya and I doubt you can do better."

Lin held her hand out and gave her best attempt at a charming smile, which was really a grimace. "Lin and are you a library book? Cause I'd love to check you out."

Kya let out a small giggle at the officer's attempt but shook her hand none the less. "Well Lin, I'm afraid you can look, but you can't touch."

"Gladly." She leaned back, careful not to fall off the stool, and gave Kya a generous ogling. "Not bad."

"That's all I get? A not bad? After I gave you my number one pick up line?"

"That was your number one? Mine was ten times better. Tell you what, you tell me your number two and I'll buy you a drink. Deal?"

"I haven't got more than ten yuans on me, so if you make it two drinks, I'll give you something to look forward to." Knowing she didn't have much to loose, Lin shook her hand. "Your body is a wonderland and I want to be Alice."

That one made Lin blush like mad. Putting up her hand, she signalled the bartender over. "I'd like to buy my friend here a drink, make it double." She waited for the man to pour the drinks and walk away before continuing the conversation. "So, are you a bender?"

"Sure am. Mum is a southerner, but I was raised in Republic City."

"Huh, I have an old friend like that. But I haven't seen her since I was twelve."

"Hmm, I know what that's like." Kya picked up the drink and finished it in a few mouthfuls. "So, is Toph Beifong still Chief?"

"She hasn't been Chief for over ten years. Why you ask?"

"I was hoping to pop in. maybe crash on her lounge and ask if she knows where an old friend of mine is."

Lin put down her glass and took a good hard look at the southerner before her. The little mole under her left eye, kind eyes, the subtle quirk of her brown lips, and her hairstyle. "Spirits, I'm an idiot. You're Kya off Air Temple Island, aren't you?"

"Yes? Why does that matter?"

"It's me Kya, Lin Beifong."

The waterbender's eyes widened in realisation. "Oh crap, you got hot."

"Ugh, I can't believe you're still hitting on me."

"Why not? I came in here with a goal in mind and not only am I going to achieve that goal but I'm also going to knock off a couple things from my to do list. I have to say Lin, you have grown up in all the right places, though the scars are a new addition."

Lin looked away as she muttered a "thanks" under her breath.

A warm, soft hand taking hold of her own, brought her gaze back to her old friend. "Are you okay?"

"Fine. It's just that when I pictured us reuniting all those years ago, this isn't what I had in mind."

"What did you have in mind?"

"Well, I was hoping it would be like one of those corny moments you read about in books where the girl arrives on the train platform and she spots the love of her life looking for her and when they spot each other, they run then meet in a passionate kiss."

"Wow. I thought I told you when I left to get your nose out of those stupid romance novels."

"I was sixteen when I thought about it. Can you really blame me for getting my information from a book? Look who I had for a mother for crying out loud."

Kya gave her a kind smile. "Well, we may not have had the reuniting you wanted, but we could have the reuniting only two mature adults could have?" She leaned in and kissed Lin sweetly on the lips. "Mmm, something to look forward too."

"My mother's couch is really uncomfortable and I have a really big bed."

"Then pay the man and let's go."

Slamming some money on the bar, with a big tip, Lin led Kya out of the pub and back to her apartment where they spent the rest of the night reconnecting.
