Sorry guys this one isn't very long. My sister's birthday way today so I wasn't able to finish the story and we got back late, plus I'm super tired because we did a bunch of stuff. My apologies! I also am going camping Tue. through Thu. so I won't be able to post until Sat. or Sun. I'll write up ideas while I'm gone, but I won't be able to write the chapter because I'll be busy camping, I have work to do.

Asami woke up before Korra, just before sunrise. She yawned and stretched, What was that dream I had last night? All I remember is how weird it was. Carefully she swung her legs off the bed and stood up, unraveling herself from Korra, who slept soundly. Quickly she got dressed in her day clothes and looked around the room. They had shoved their beds together to make things slightly more comfortable. Artwork hung from the walls (It turns out that Korra is an amazing artist!) and books lay stacked next to their dresser. I really need to get a bookcase. Asami thought as she walked over to the books, crouched down and looked through them. Finding that she wasn't in the mood for reading, she stood again, shaking her head. I'll make pancakes for us! She thought, sneaking out the door to the kitchen, where she took out what she needed as quietly as possible and started mixing ingredients.
By the time she had finished mixing the ingredients and had started cooking their pancakes, Korra walked in and hugged her from behind, leaning on her. "Might I say that you are looking mighty fine today?" She asked. Asami turned to look at Korra. She was wearing a white tank top that really let her muscles show and blue sweatpants.
"Thank you, and you aren't looking too shabby yourself." Asami answered, grinning. She hugged Korra hack with one arm while she flipped a pancake with the other arm. "Can you make fruit salad? It'll mean we can have breakfast a lot sooner."
Korra nodded and walked to the fridge, pulling it open while Asami turned away to focus on the pancakes. She grabbed the peaches they had bought the day before and started chopping them into cubes while waiting for the pancakes to cook. Asami grabbed a saucepan and started heating it up. She dumped the peached into the saucepan and mixed in sugar and a bit of water. She pulled the last pancake off the oven and laid a towel on top of the hot pancakes sitting on a plate on the counter. She watched Korra chop up fruit and dump them into the salad bowl, mixing up the fruit and sugar mixture occasionally. Korra turned to her, grinning.
"I'm done! What next?" Korra asked. Asami thought for a second.
"How about you pull out some yogurt and granola? I am almost done making the sauce for our pancakes." She smiled at Korra as she returned to the fridge, pulling out yogurt, then flittered to the pantry, pulling out the granola. She handed it to Korra, who muttered thanks, and returned to her sauce. It was thickening up, almost there. She stirred it for the last time, counted for 30 seconds, then turned the heat off and pulled the saucepan to a different burner. She grabbed a spoon and stirred it gently. Just the right consistency, not quite jam yet, but not watery. She dumped the sauce in a bowl and grabbed a serving spoon, then brought the jam and the pancakes to the table, where Korra was waiting with the yogurt, the granola, and the fruit salad. Asami set the pancakes and sauce on the table, and pulled the dishcloth off the pancakes with a flourish. Korra oohed and took the top one off and put it on the first plate, then handed it to Asami. Asami smiled and dug in. Their legs bumped under the table and she felt sparks fly up her body.
Korra finished first. "What do you want to do today? We have that date planned today, but that isn't happening until tonight. We could go to the park?"
"Yeah, the park sounds fun, I'll bring a book. I love reading in the park." Asami said.
"The library is right next to the park, we could go there." Korra said, "Seeing as you always have your nose in a book."
"If we have time, we can go to the library, I have plenty of books to read already, I don't need more. Is there anywhere you would like to go?" Asami asked, smiling at her girlfriend.
"No, I don't want to go anywhere, but we should probably go shopping." Korra added as an afterthought. "We need food to last the week."
"True, let's go." Asami answered. She stood and grabbed some dishes and carted them to the sink, Korra right behind her. They brushed their teeth and hair and pulled their shoes on, then headed out. Asami reached her hand out and Korra took it, they were like a well-oiled machine, working in unison. She led the way to the car and hopped in, soon they were speeding down the streets, heading to the park. Asami parked the car smoothly, and clambered out, grabbing her book. She reached her hand out again, and Korra took it again. They walked deep into the park, surrounded by trees and grass, until they were out of sight, cut off from the rest of the world. She pulled Korra to a thick tree. Letting go of Korra's hand, Asami sat down at the base of the tree and gestured for Korra to join her.
Korra grinned and laid down in front of Asami, her head resting on Asami's lap. Asami snapped her book open and started reading. Korra grabbed Asami's hand and kissed it. Then she kissed her wrist, then her forearm.
"Not now Korra! I am at the climax of my book, besides, how cliche is it to do this in a public park? What if some random hiker walks in on us?" Asami asked, blushing. Korra kept on kissing her, she reached Asami's face, then her mouth.
"No talking, no sex, just kissing." Korra whispered in Asami's ear, making Asami turn scarlet. Blushing, Asami kissed Korra firmly, but then opened up to her, reaching up to cup her head with her hand, pulling her in deeper. Korra's hands roamed Asami's body, brushing her softly, making shivers run up and down her body.
"What are you two doing?" A voice asked, one they had never heard before. They spun and a man stood 30 feet away, feet planted on the ground and arms crossed. He had a park ranger badge on and his expression was stern. He had brown eyes and black hair, not to mention a bushy black moustache. The moustache twitched, but his expression stayed the same. Korra and Asami stayed where they were, speechless. Then they realized that he had caught them making out in the woods and they both blushed even more furiously that they were before.
