The next morning, Korra woke up fresh and early. She didn't realize that for once she wasn't late, so rushed to get dressed and stuffed what she needed for school into her bag. She bolted through to the dining room to find Tenzin and Pema in dressing gowns, sitting at the table with cups of tea in their hands. Korra stopped dead in her tracks at the sight, her look of puzzlement neatly mirroring Tenzin's.

"Korra! You're up earlier than usual." Tenzin said, slowly.

"I am? What time is it?" Korra said, adjusting her t-shirt.

"It's 7, sweetie." Pema said, gently. "I don't usually have to come and wake you up for another hour, at least." Korra walked over to the table and took a seat, helping herself to tea. She took a gulp of her drink, leaning over and grabbing some toast from the center of the table. Korra began to relax, leaning back in her chair as Tenzin and Pema looked at on another. Pema adjusted her position in her seat, turning slightly to face Korra.

"So everything is OK? You've had enough sleep?" Pema asked. Korra tried to answer, but the mouthful of toast made it impossible to get anything vaguely understandable out. She took a moment to chew and swallow before attempting another answer.

"Yeah. Everything's cool. Kinda just wanna get to school. I've got Pro-bending practice today. What time are we leaving today, Tenzin?" Korra said, before stuffing more breakfast into her mouth. Pema glanced over at Tenzin, who shuffled in his chair. He put his tea on the table.

"Korra." Tenzin started. Korra looked up, her mouth crammed with toast. "I'm not actually taking you to school today. I have to take Jinora to her Airbending exam at the Northern Air Temple." Korra almost choked.

"What!? How am I gonna get to school?" Korra yelled. Tenzin raised a hand.

"Korra, please don't shout. We've already organized you a lift. It'll be here at 8:15." Tenzin said, calmly. Korra pouted for a moment, then took another gulp of tea.

"OK. Sorry, I shouted. I just really need to be at school today." Korra said. She looked over to see Tenzin and Pema looking at her with raised eyebrows. "You know, pro-bending and all that."

"Is that all you're looking forward to see?" Pema asked, a small smile appearing on her face. Korra looked from on to the other, her cheeks getting increasingly red.

"Well, you know, there's lessons and my friends and…" Korra began, trailing off at the end. She stared at her cup for a few seconds. "I can't wait to see Asami, too." She added, quietly. Pema let out a small squeal of excitement, making both Korra and Tenzin jump a foot in the air.

"I knew it! I told you I knew it!" Pema squeaked, grabbing Tenzin's arm. She moved closer to Korra, grabbing the Avatar's free hand with her own. "So what is it about her that makes you feel the way you? Her smile? Her eyes? Her laugh?" Tenzin moved Pema back to her original seat.

"Please, dear. Give her some room. You're almost as bad as my mother." Tenzin said, ensuring Pema was firmly in her seat. Korra sat in her seat, carefully watching the other two. She finished her toast and rose from her seat.

"I'm gonna go to my room until my ride gets here. Gimme a shout when it arrives." Korra walked out of the dining room to the quiet sound of giggling from Pema. Korra walked back up to her room, opening the door to see Naga jumping around like a lunatic. Korra rushed over to calm her down.

"Whoa, Naga. Chill out. What's wrong?" Korra asked the dog, who had buried her head into her lap. As Korra stroked her to calm her down, she looked over to the corner Naga had been avoiding. Sitting there was a fire ferret, making itself comfortable in Naga's bed. Upon further inspection, Korra noticed a green collar with a bronze tag on it. She left Naga in a whimpering mess on the floor, and moved over to the fire ferret.

"And where did you come from?" She looked at the tag. It read;

Pabu

If found, please return to Bolin

Flat 35, Roku Halls, Republic City Commons

Korra looked at Pabu in disbelief.

"You belong to Bolin? He's probably worried about you." She moved closer, but Pabu got scared, running up the curtains and sitting on the curtain pole. Korra stood up and moved over to the little animal.

"It's OK, I'm Bolin's friend. I'll make sure you're OK." Korra reached a hand up to Pabu, who sniffed it before deciding Korra was friendly. He rushed down her arm and perched on her shoulder. Korra giggled. "What are you doing all the way out here, then? You're far from home." Pabu licked Korra's cheek, and jumped onto the floor. He scampered over to Naga, who retracted in fear. Korra sat down next to the polar husky and stroked her head.

"It's OK, Naga. Pabu is a friend." Korra said soothingly. She watched as the two animals slowly made their way to one another. Naga sniffed at Pabu, who licked her on the nose. Naga seemed to warm to Pabu quickly, and was soon chasing him round the room, playfully jumping on him. Each time Naga caught the fire ferret, she quickly released him to start their game again. Korra sat and watched the two animals for the next hour. Soon enough, she heard Tenzin's voice from downstairs.

"Korra! Your lift to school is here!"

Korra grabbed her bag and made her way to the door. She turned back to look at the two animals, who were now curled up together in Naga's bedding. Naga was cleaning Pabu's fur as if he was her cub.

"Behave, you two. Don't let anyone see Pabu, OK?" Korra said, mock authority in her voice. She walked down to the front door to see who was taking her to school. Her eyes lit up when she saw the deep green eyes of Asami. Korra jogged over to her.

"Hi." Korra said, lost for words. Asami kissed Korra on the cheek, and smiled at her.

"Just hi? I guess your Avatar powers don't extend to sweet-talking, then." Asami said. Korra blushed, running her hand through her hair. She hardly noticed the second figure behind Asami.

"Well, if you two young lovers are done, we should be getting on our way." Korra looked over to the source of the familiar voice. It was none other than Hiroshi Sato.

"Mister Sato! I... I was just…" Korra began, struggling to get her words out. Hiroshi laughed in his usual uproarious manner.

"Don't worry yourself, Korra. Asami explained everything to me." Hiroshi said, beaming at the two girls. Asami linked her fingers into Korra's. She gave a weak smile and shrugged.

"I did say I'd tell my dad everything." Asami said. Korra was still slightly dumbfounded by Hiroshi's knowledge of their relationship.

"So, you don't mind?" Korra asked, looking over to Hiroshi. Another load roar of a laugh filled the entrance hall.

"Not at all! I'm happy Asami has found some-one that's good enough for her. Plus, you're a hell of a lot better than that last sap she was dating, whatshisname… Mako?" Hiroshi said, aiming his last question at Asami, who sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Dad. Please." Asami said. Hiroshi put his hand in the air.

"Sorry. Crossed a line, didn't I?" Hiroshi said. "Anyway, as I said, we best be off. Come on." He turned and walked out of the open door behind him. Asami lead Korra out after him. Korra waved back at Tenzin and Pema.

"See you later. Send good luck to Jinora for me!" Korra called back. Tenzin raise a hand to wave, the other firmly on his wife's shoulder, probably to stop her bouncing around in joy. Asami lead Korra over to Satomobile, opening the door for her.

"After you, madam." Asami said, bowing deeply and winking at Korra, who chuckled to herself as she got in. Asami soon followed suite, sitting in the seat next to Korra. Hiroshi looked back at them.

"Right, off we go. No hanky panky or anything back there." He started the engine and pulled away, beginning the journey towards the city. Asami rested her head on Korra's shoulder, linking her arm into Korra's. Korra smiled and planted a kiss on Asami's head, before reaching into her pocket and pulling out her phone and earphones. She offered an earphone to Asami, who took it, putting it into her ear. Korra put the other into her own ear and began to scroll through the music on her phone, before deciding on some Daft Punk.

"Oh, remind me to talk to Bolin when we get to school today." Korra told Asami. Asami lifted her head from Korra's shoulder.

"Why?" Asami asked. Korra beamed from ear-to-ear.

"Because I found his fire ferret in Naga's bed this morning."
