Hey everybody. New Chapter. Yeah!

I decided that this wasn't going to be the last chapter. It didn't feel right to finish it one go. So expect one maybe two more. :)

I added in small divisions cause I got hella confused when it switched from Lin to Korra. I hope it doesn't ruin the flow.

Hope you enjoy it. And as always, please let me know what you thought of it.


Decisions

All was well with the world. The sun was shining and there wasn't a cloud in sight. You wouldn't believe that the previous day had been a mixture of clouds, rain, and wind that'd chill you to the bone. Yes, today was definitely a good day.

Korra was roused from her slumber by the sound of the breakfast bell being rung.

'Ugh. Already?' Korra thought to herself in disgust. She hadn't had the best night sleep. It was restless, which was odd because she never had trouble sleeping. Giving a low audible grunt she swung her legs over the edge of the bed and just stared at the floor trying to get the sleepy haze out of her head. It was then that the memories of last night came surging back. The kiss was just playing over and over and over again in her head.

Korra rubbed her head throwing herself onto her back. 'It felt right at the time, but now... Like, do I even like her in that kinda way?' She didn't know what to think. 'Argh! Why was I so stupid! How am I supposed to even bring that up?"Hey so I'm sorry about kissing you, I hope it doesn't change anything between us?" LIKE HELL THAT WOULD WORK!' Korra was now flailing around her bed like a child throwing a tantrum.

Mid flail she felt something nudge her leg. Looking up she was greeted by a pair of jet black eyes that expressed concern for her sudden outburst.

"Mornin' Naga. Did I wake you up?" She greeted the large polar bear-dog. "Sorry about that girl, just working through some stuff." she said scratching Naga's head that was now nuzzled against Korra's side.

A second bell rang throughout the house. "Damn! I'm gonna be late." Standing up and pulling on her usual Water-Tribe attire she ran towards the door. "Come on girl, let's go get breakfast."

Nearing the dining room Korra could hear the chatter of Tenzin, Pema, and all the kids.

Stopping just before the busy room and taking a deep breath 'Okay you got this. Just act normal and no one will notice anything." Korra thought as she opened the door.

"Ah, good morning Korra." Tenzin greeted fondly. "How did you sleep?"

"Mmm, not so well." Korra replied as she sat down next to Pema.

"Really? That is quite unusual for you, but I'm sure this morning's meditation will he—"just then a chunk of tofu was sent flying past Tenzin cutting him off.

Meelo had decided it was a great idea to get into a mini-food war with Ikki. Luckily for Korra, Tenzin turned his attention from her to deal with the potential onslaught of food.

Seeing her chance, Pema leaned in whispering to Korra. "So?"

Korra sat up straighter, and took a sip of tea, "So what?"

"You know? How was last night?" Pema had a sly grin on her face.

Korra spit out the hot liquid across the table further adding to Tenzin's frustrations of trying to tame Meelo who was now the self appointed King of Tofu.

"Ahhahaa, uhh...n-not much! Nothing happened, it was a plain evening." Korra's shaky voice and nervous laughter betrayed her.

Pema had a look of disbelief.

Trying to move on from the topic Korra tuned back to her tea, but Pema was far from done. A playful grin emerged across Pema's face.

"So nothing happened at all?"

"Yup, nothing in the slightest." Korra's eyes were darting all over the place.

"Sooooo... not even a goodnight kiss?" A second volley of tea was sent flying across the table. That was the reaction she was looking for.

"Ooh, so something did happen last night." Pema hummed out.

"H-Hey, would you look at the time. It's about that time. You know, the time of day I-I-I brush Naga." Korra leapt to her feet, bowing quickly as a thanks for the food and tea she ran out the dining room trying to hide her burning cheeks.

"What was that all about?" asked Tenzin sitting back down next to his wife. He'd finally calmed the "Tofu King".

Pema couldn't help but let out a small giggle, "Oh, you know, just girl things."

"O-Oh..." He didn't want to get into any further details.

"Honey, do you think Korra can have the day off from meditation? It'll help her get through her "girl troubles"."

Tenzin stroked his beard. "Hmmmmmm... I suppose one more day wouldn't hurt. Do you mind telling her? I don't want to uh...intrude."


The whole of Republic City was bustling about with its usual energy, well all except for one apartment. This apartment belonged to the one and only Chief of Police. But despite having an unusually restful sleep, she woke up in a rather fractious mood.

With tea in hand Lin plopped down onto her couch. Her thoughts running back to the previous night, she pinched the bridge of her nose and let out a heavy sigh.

'How could I let that happen? Why would Korra even do that in the first place?' Lin brought a finger up to her mouth remembering the sensation. Thinking about it brought a subconscious smile to her lips. It had been such a long time since she was that close to anybody.

'What in Spirits name was Korra thinking?' Lin was trying to make sense of all the noise that was going on in her head. She reasoned that Korra couldn't possibly have feelings for her. Why would she, Korra was so young and vibrant and Lin just...wasn't. Lin felt a little pang in her chest at the thought.


"What do I do Naga!?" The Polar bear-dog tilted her head at her owner who was pacing the confines of the room at great speed.

"Do I tell her I like her? Or do I just carry on like normal?" Korra was pulling her hair out. "Maybe, if I'm lucky, she doesn't even remember? What do you think girl?" She looked over to her companion hoping that she may hold all of the answers.

Naga, as if shrugging off the questions, lay down. "Gee, thanks, you're so helpful." Came Korra's sarcastic response, which in turn got a small whimper and a sad look from her furry friend."Sorry girl. I know, this is all my fault and only I can make it better." Sitting on the floor with her back pressed against the bed, Korra let out a troubled breath. "That doesn't make it any easier though."


"This is Chief Beifong, is Lieutenant Saikhan there? No? Then please inform him that I am taking a day of leave and I'll be in tomorrow. Goodbye" A very confused officer was left on the other side of the line.

"Y-Yes ma'am! Right away ma'am!" The line was then cut. Something amazing had just happened, the Chief, who had never missed a day of duty, was taking the day off. She was going to have a rough time trying to explain this to Saikhan.

Having put down the phone, Lin set out for the door with one goal in mind. To put an end to any possible feelings Korra may have for her.


After thinking hard, Korra leapt to her feet.

"You know what, Naga?" the Polar bear-dog looked up inquisitively." I can't just leave this alone, hoping it'll get better and sulking around here isn't going to get anything done. " Naga just tilted her head as if though wondering where this all was going.

"I like Lin. I like her a lot. I'm gonna tell her how I feel! And she's gonna have to deal with it!" Preparing herself for the cold rejection, Korra set out to confess the feeling she held in her heart.


Will Korra get her feelings across or will Lin be able to disuade Korra's "silly" crush? Find out in the next chapter!

Dun dun dunnnnnn! A little cliff hanger. Don't hate me.

About two weeks until the next chapter.
