This is way longer than I thought it would be. There are a lot of things I didn't plan initially (particularly this one really sappy part near the middle of the chapter), but I couldn't bring myself to take anything out. Also, I have a lot of headcanons about the old team avatar's kids, and it really shows in the first part of this chapter. Just encase you end up wondering why I wrote so much about them.

Korra, Asami, Mako, Kya and Katara were lead by a palace guard through the hallways.

"Your family and friends arrived a few hours ago," She informed them, "They're in the private quarters Lord Zuko had prepared for you. He and the fire lord are both busy with preparations for tomorrow but they send their welcome,"

"Tell Izumi she'd better come to welcome us properly or we're going to have a problem. And if she isn't here soon I'll make her regret it,"

"Can you send a message like to the fire lord?" Mako asked.

Kya snorted.

"Kya and Izumi have always been close friends. Growing up they were like sisters," Katara said.

"Put us together and we could get into more trouble than Bumi," Kya smiled, "Mom, remember when we set the beach house on ember island on fire,"

"Oh yes, I was the one who had to put it out,"

"Zuko was so mad, then dad reminded him he'd almost burnt down the house once before and that quieted him down." She chuckled.

"Fire Lord Izumi didn't strike me as the rebellious kind," Korra said.

"Oh she was her moods. She's defiantly more serious now than when were kids, but she can be lighthearted too. It depends on who she's with,"

The guard stopped by a set of ornate double doors. "Here we are," She pushed them open revealing a large, open air room. There was a balcony overlooking the city and the other wall was made entirely of bypass doors, which were pushed aside, letting in a gentle breeze and the afternoon light. The others were scattered around the room but they all looked up as they entered.

"Grandma!" Ikki and Meelo exclaimed, throwing themselves at Katara. She laughed, hugging them tightly.

"Hey, and where are my hugs?" Kya asked.

Jinora complied by hugging her aunt, "We've missed you,"

"We missed you too," Kya said.

"I still believe can't Zuko got you to leave home," Bumi said hugging his mother.

"He can be persistent when he wants to be,"

"Mako," Bolin pulled his brother into a hug, "How's your hand?"

"It amazing how much better it is after only a few sessions with Katara. It hasn't felt numb once,"

"Then why are you still wearing the bandages?" Bolin asked.

"The scars are still there," Mako said, "I prefer to wear the bandages over them,"

"How'd things go with your parents?" Opal asked Korra.

"Pretty good, except at first they were convinced I was dating Mako. So it was a surprise when I told them about Asami. But they recovered quickly, and took the news well."

Kai walked into the room from a hallway. He frowned at the group.

"Grandma," Jinora started as Kai walked over to them, "I want you to meet-"

"You just had to go to south with them," Kai threw a magazine at Mako. It hit his face opened and stayed there.

"…Kai, my boyfriend," Jinora sighed, "Way to make a first impression,"

"So I was right that papers would think there was something going on?" Mako's muffled voice came from behind the magazine.

"Flame-o and The United Sun both did stories." Ikki said.

Kya took the magazine from Mako's face and found the article, "Oh they're so wrong it's almost sad," She said as she read, "Don't worry kids. I've been there. When I was traveling the tabloids would say the craziest things."

"I remember reading one that claimed you were physic," Lin entered the room.

"Hey look who's here," Kya smiled, "I didn't think you'd come,"

"Su made me," She threw a look at her sister.

"It's about time someone made you loosen up," Kya said.

"We couldn't very well let the opportunity for the six of us to get together again slip by," Su said.

"The super six, back together again," Bumi said. His siblings, Lin and Su sighed.

"Bumi, please don't call us that. We didn't even like that name as kids," Lin said.

"I liked it,"

"Yes, well, being outvoted 5 to 1 never stopped you from trying to get your way," A voice said from the door. Turning they saw Izumi and Zuko enter the room. "I was told someone was threatening me, that wouldn't be you, would it?" She said smiling at Kya.

"Who else would it be?" She walked over to hug her, "It's been too long,"

"Far too long." Izumi smiled, holding Kya and arm's length, "You're starting to look your age,"

Kya laughed "Thanks," She snorted sarcastically.

"Ha ha, look at us," Bumi grabbed Kya and Izumi with one hand and Tenzin, Su and Lin with the other, "The six of us haven't been together since Su left Republic City,"

"Let's hope you don't destroy any courtyards or buildings again," Zuko said, smiling warmly. Katara chuckled.

The others broke out from Bumi's grip and found places to sit.

"Destroying stuff? Daddy?" Ikki asked.

"When they were younger they loved to spar together," Zuko said, "And it normally meant the utter destruction of anything nearby,"

"Bumi was always the one who started those," Tenzin said, "And I ended up being dragged in to even up the teams,"

"Always wanted to prove he was just as good as the benders," Kya laughed, elbowing her brother.

"Thought, none of us were much of a challenge for him when it came to old fashion grappling," Izumi said.

"Because he used to cheat," Lin said,

"I never cheated. I just used unorthodox fighting styles,"

"Yeah, biting me was just unorthodox," Su said,

"Mom healed you afterwards,"

"Ah, man those sparring matches sound epic," Wei said.

"What I wouldn't give to see one," Wing said.

"I second that," Bolin said.

"Don't hold your breath kids, that was a long time ago when we young and foolish,"

"But I'll admit I'm curious to see how a match would go now that I have airbending,"

Zuko and Katara both laughed then the former fire lord said, "You know Kiyi is here for the gala as well,"

"Is she here now? I'd love to say hello," Katara said.

"Let's go find her, I believe she was with Ty Lee,"

They both left, and a few moments after they exited the room Mako suddenly cried out.

"Aww no, I forgot to ask them about Fire Lord Zuko's mother,"

"You've been reading Jinora's books again," Bolin said.

"And I really wanted to know,"

"You spent all that time on the air ship with mom and you didn't think to ask her?" Kya asked.

"I didn't think about until now," He looked at them, "Do you know what happened?"

Bumi snorted, "We are their kids, remember. We used to get those tales for bed time stories,"

"Uncle Sokka told them the best thought," Kya said. The others nodded in agreement.

"He definitely told them better than mom," Su said.

"Anyone could tell a story better than mom," Lin said.

Korra couldn't help but chuckle in agreement. Asami caught her eye and glanced towards the hallway. Korra nodded and stood, swinging her back over her shoulder, taking Asami's hand.

"No one claimed the bedrooms at the end of the hallway as yet," Jinora said when she saw them leaving the room.

"You two better behave,"

"Very funny Su,"

They walked into the very last bedroom. Korra tossed her bag on the bed and flopped down right next to it letting out a sigh of content. Asami chuckled lightly, placing her own bag on a chair. She sat down taking off her boots.

"Hey, get over here," Korra said.

"I wouldn't want to disrupt you're very wildly achieved zen," Asai teased, indicating to Korra's sprawled out body. She'd been on the bed for all of one minute and already managed to rumple the sheets so much it looked like she'd been there for hours.

Korra sat up pouting, "Asami," she almost whined. Asami felt a smile tug at her lips and walked over. She stopped at the edge of the bed so she was leaning over Korra.

"You're utterly adorable, you know that?"

Korra flashed her signature grin and pulled Asami down to kiss her. They fell back on the bed giggling. Korra wove her fingers into Asami's hair. Asami smiled, pulling back.

"What's wrong?" Korra asked.

Asami shook her head. She rested her forehead on Korra's, and cradled her face in her hands, "Nothing. Absolutely nothing is wrong,"

"Then why'd we stop kissing?"

"Cause I just want to look at you,"

Korra pressed her lips Asami's "But I want to kiss you,"

Asami laughed, letting Korra shift on top of her. They kissed slowly, Korra gently grazing her teeth over Asami's lower lip. She hummed, curling her fingers into the short hair at the nape of Korra's neck. Asami took Korra's chin between her fingers, turning it to the side. She trailed kisses along her jaw, and up to her ear.

Korra sucked in a breath, leaning into Asami's touch. She moved one hand to Asami's waist, grabbing at her jacket. Shivering as the other girl's lips danced across her neck and her heart fluttered whenever cool fingers brushed her skin.

"Asami…" The name tumbled from her lips like wish.

"Mmh?"

"Look at me for a moment,"

Asami's laugh sent trembles down her spine, "I though you wanted to kiss," She smirked up at the avatar. Korra blushed, her favorite crooked smiled pulling at her lips.

"Asami, I…" The rest of Korra's words caught in her throat, not because she didn't want to say them, or that she couldn't. But because she already saw the words reflected in Asami's eyes. In those jade irises she saw all the love they shared. All the love that had had grown and changed so much over the years. The love that was still growing.

Asami's gaze soften and she gently brushed her fingers across Korra's cheek. "I love you too," her voice was barely a hum. Korra laughed, because of course Asami knew what she was going to say. She moved so she was lying on the bed next to Asami. Korra tangled her fingers in the strains of hair around the side of Asami's face, her thumb gently stroking her cheek.

Asami raised her own hand to Korra's letting her fingers wrap loosely around her wrist. She closed her eyes, sighing quietly, overcome with content. She felt Korra shift closer and she half expected to feel her lips against her own. But the kiss didn't come. And didn't need to come. This was more than enough. Just being together.

"Shh, they'll hear you,"

"You shush,"

And the moment was broken.

Korra grumbled and Asami let out an amused breath.

"I swear Ikki, Meelo, if you don't leave now I'll go in the Avatar state,"

There was the sound of hurried footsteps retreating down the hall.

Asami chuckled and kissed the irritated Avatar's nose.

The next evening Korra walked out into the main room of their quarters and found an odd mixture of calm and chaos. Some people were ready and waiting, while others were running around in a fanatic haste. Mako was one of the former. He smiled when he saw her, "Seeing you in dresses is weird,"

"I feel I should hit you for that,"

Mako laughing holding up his hands, "I didn't mean it in a bad way. It's just you don't wear dresses much. And you do look very nice,"

Korra looked down her blue dress. It was a simple cut, sleeveless, with a scoop neck line. The skirt fell in three layers, falling just above her ankles. The hues of the dress shifted in a gradient, the top darker blues and moving to lighter shades at the bottom.

"Thanks," She tugged at the skirt, "Asami helped me pick it out,"

"Did you help pick her dress?"

"Oh no. She wants to surprise me,"

"Has anyone seen my jerkin?" Meelo asked.

"Sorry," Bolin said running a comb through his hair.

"Nope," Jinora shook her head as she helped Kai straighten out his clothes.

"Is this it? Korra held up a red top.

"Yes!" He air scootered over to her.

"Let me help you put it on," Korra said knowing Pema would be busy with Rohan. She knelt down helping him into it, smoothing out the creases. As she was doing this she heard Kai let out a wolf whistle and Meelo's eyes became as large as saucers.

Before she could ask him what was wrong she heard Asami say, "So what do you think?"

Korra turned, not seeing Asami right away, "What do I think about wh-a-ah-wow," Her jaw dropped.

Asami was wearing a floor length black dress that hugged her perfectly with a slit that rose up to mid-thigh and the fabric fluttered around her feet as she walked. The top half of the bodice was black lace over a nude cloth that cut into a low v-neck.

Korra's mouth hung opened and she was making a gasping sound.

"I think she likes it," Ikki giggled.

"I think you broke her," Bolin waved his hand in front of Korra's still froze face.

"Oh no," Asami's voice was light and teasing, "Were could I possibly find another date at this late hour?"

"I'll do it," Meelo's hand shot up and he ran forward. Korra grabbed his collar causing him to jerk back.

"No you don't," Korra said to him, "She's my date,"

"It's not like anyone is going to know," Meelo pouted, "Most people don't know you're dating,"

"Yeah, but I know," Korra's grin was huge, "And I'll be the luckiest person there tonight,"

"You flatter me,"

"Although I might have to fight off some suitors," Korra pulled Asami into her arms.

"I'm sure you can handle it,"

"Hey, hey," Pema noticed the way they were looking at each other, "Please let's keep with kid friendly in here,"

"Ouch!" Wing suddenly yelled, gripping the arm his aunt had suddenly hit, "What was that for?"

"Stop staring at Asami's legs,"

He blushed red, "I-I wasn't,"

Bolin, Bumi, Wei and Kai cracked up.

Korra threw a glare in Wing's direction that sent him running behind his twin, but Asami whispered something in her ear that made the Avatar blush. She grinned and nodded.

"Ready to go Ms. Sato?" Korra offered her arm and Asami hooked her hand through. As they walking through the palace Kai suddenly started laughing.

"What's wrong with you?" Jinora asked.

"There's a red carpet," He said grinning.

"It's the fire nation, half of the things red," Bolin said.

"No, I just remembered. The press will be here," He giggled with glee, "And when they show up arm in arm there's no way they won't figure it out. And that means I'll win the bet,"

"Never underestimate the stupidity of the press," Lin said.

"They found about the vacation they took together and didn't figure it out." Mako said, "And they're pretty convinced I'm dating one of them so don't hold your breath,"

"You just had to go to the south with them, didn't you?"

"I am sorry I almost blew my arm off trying to save the city," Mako gave Kai a light punch.

"I'm partly convinced you did it to buy more time,"

"Yeah, that was my only motivation," Mako rolled his eyes, "Not because my arm was injured,"

"Maybe you'll get lucky and someone find them in whatever hallway they plan to slip away to," Su said.

Korra tripped over her own feet.

"Wh-what?"

"You'll be doing a disservice to that dress if you don't try to sneak her away at some point during the night," Kya said to Korra.

Everyone snorted with laughter at the look of completely embarrassment on the avatar's face. Asami gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

Their group walked down to the ballroom where the gala was being held. Outside there were a small legion of reporters and persons with cameras. They were all quickly asking questions to those arriving to the gala, flashes going off continuously.

When they spotted their group all the lenses turned towards them at once. Everyone answered a question or two about the gala. More than once there were questions thrown out to Mako, Asami and Korra (and even Bolin, despite the fact Opal was right next to him) asking about the rumors. They chose to ignore to those and focused on the reporters actually concerned about the gala.

Once they got inside the questions didn't stop. They were all pulled off in different direction to meet various important people from all over the world (although, some like Meelo, Wing and Wei were able to avoid the handshaking going straight for the food).

Korra had to watch begrudgingly as several guys asked Asami for a dance. She politely accepted, but never danced longer than one song and always returned right to Korra's side. Half way through the night they found themselves in an incredibly boring conversation with some rich merchant from the Fire Nation. Most of the things he said when right over Korra's head, and she could tell from the look on Asami's face that she wans't too interested with what he had to say.

"Asami! Korra!" A familiar voice cut the man off suddenly. Varrick burst into the scene, practically knocking aside the old man. "I knew I'd see you here,"

Zhu-li appeared at his side, holding two glasses of wine.

"Varrick, Zhu-li," Korra and Asami had never been happier to see the eccentric inventor, especially because the old merchant walked away muttering.

"How was the honeymoon?" Asami asked.

"It was wonderful," Zhu-li smiled brightly.

"Yep, just us, a privet beach and all the hot peppers a man could as for. Wow, Asami don't you look fancy," Varrick wiggled his eyebrows, "Trying to catch the eye of someone?"

"I can assure I'm not," Asami said.

Varrick nodded and took one of the glasses from Zhu-li finishing it with one gulp, "Of course not, I'm only pulling your leg," He winked, "You've already caught their eye," He glanced at Korra.

Asami and Korra shared a look, "Wait, you know?"

"Ha, so I was right. I told ya Zhu-li,"

Zhu-li smiled, "Yes you did,"

"I told Zhu-li the other day, 'Zhu-li, you know Asami and Korra, there's something there' and there is." He clapped both of them on the shoulder, "I'm happy for ya. And don't worry, we can keep our lips sealed," He made a motion of drawing a zipper across his and Zhu-li's lips "Hold up, I see Bolin. Zhu-li let's do the thing," He took the second glass from Zhu-li and emptied it as well. He disappeared in the crowd.

"Should he be drinking so much?" Asami asked.

"Don't worry I'll keep him in check. And congratulation," Zhu-li smiled at them, and with a quick bow she followed after Varrick.

"I'm not all that surprised he knew," Asami said. Korra chuckled lightly.

"Avatar Korra,"

Both girls turned at the voice, "General Iroh, good to see you again,"

"It certainly is," Iroh smiled and shook her hand, then he shook Asami's "you as well Ms. Sato,"

Asami inclined her head politely. A young man walked up behind Iroh.

"Allow me to introduce Second Lieutenant Hikaru,"

"It's an honor to meet you Avatar," He bowed, "And Asami Sato. You're reputation precedes you,"

"Thank you,"

"It's a pleasure to meet you Lieutenant,"

"If I may, can I ask you for a dance?" He asked Korra.

"Me?" Korra looked surprised. "Uh, I don't-"

"It's okay," Asami said.

"You sure?"

"Go ahead,"

"Okay, then," Korra gave the Lieutenant a small smile, "let's go,"

They walked towards the dance floor.

"Wow, he actually got his dance," Iroh said once they were out of ear shot.

"What does that mean?" Asami asked.

"Hikaru has something of a crush on Korra,"

"Really?" Asami's eyebrows shot up.

Iroh nodded "He insisted I introduce them. It's the main reason he's here tonight" Iroh frowned as he noticed something in the distance behind Asami, "Oh dear, my mother seems to be calling me. I probably have talk with another old man who'll just make me want to sleep,"

"I know the feeling," Asami smiled sympathetically. Iroh bowed to her.

"I hope we can speak again before the night is over. Good evening Ms. Sato," He walked off to find his mother and grandfather.

Asami turned her attention to the dance floor, training her eyes on Korra and the lieutenant. She could see they were talking while dancing. When he leaned closer to speak into her ear Asami suddenly felt her mouth go dry. Her stomach did an uncomfortable flip. She grabbed a glass of wine from a passing waiter, drinking half of it in one gulp, but her mouth still felt dry. She twirled the glass in her hands, trying to look at something else, but her eyes keep going back to Korra.

The Avatar laughed at something he said and her stomach flipped again. Then the Lieutenants hand moved lower than the small of Korra's back and that's when Asami found herself walking forward. Or she would have been if a hand didn't grip her shoulder, gently but firmly. Looking behind her she saw Tenzin and Pema.

"It wouldn't do for the CEO of future industries to deck a Lieutenant of the United Forces," He said softly.

Asami swallowed her anger and nodded.

"I'm surprised Korra hasn't punched him as yet," Pema said, as she watched her move the Lieutenant's hand to a proper position.

"If the situation were reversed and it was Asami over there that young man would have been air blasted half way to the north pole by now," Tenzin said with a small chuckle. Asami smiled at bit at this.

The song ended and Korra and Hikaru returned. Asami instantly slipped one hand around Korra's waist.

"Where's Iroh?"

"He went to find his family," Asami informed him stiffly. Korra raised an eyebrow at her tone.

"Oh, well Avatar, I was hoping we could continue talking. I'd love to know more about you,"

Before Korra could give a response Asami said, "I'm a bit tired of socializing. Why don't we go find some seats…in a quiet corner?"

"Okay," Korra nodded, "Maybe we'll talk another time Lieutenant,"

"I hope so it was nice…meeting you," Asami had woven her hand with Korra's and pulled her away before the man could finished talking.

Pema covered a small giggle as he walked away in another direction dejectedly, "And here I thought Korra would be the possessive one," she said. Tenzin nodded in agreement.

"Do you want to say what that was about?" Korra asked.

"No,"

Korra's brows frowned but then she smirked, "Don't tell you were jealous?"

"No," Asami replied sharply. Korra laughed and gave Asami's hand a comforting squeeze. They spotted Mako sitting at a table by himself and made their way over to him.

"You don't have to worry,"

"I know," Asami reciprocated Korra's squeeze. "I just didn't like what he did when you were dancing," Asami said.

"Who did what?" Mako asked.

"This guy groped me while dancing,"

"And neither of you broke his nose?" Mako looked surprised.

"I didn't want to cause an incident,"

"Tenzin stopped me,"

Mako laughed. "You know I figured there would be a line to get to dance with you," Mako said to Asami.

"Enough of them as staring at her as is," Korra said.

"Not that many men are staring," Asami said.

"Are you kidding?" Korra's eyebrow's shot up, "Have you gone blind?"

"I think she's been too busy looking at you all evening to notice," Mako said. Both girls blushed.

Mako chuckled. He pushed a plate of finger food towards them, "Have some,"

"Thanks," Korra and Asami both took something, "Why are you sitting here all by yourself?"

"I'm avoiding the boring conversation. I was with the chief but the conversation was about as exciting as watching grass grow,"

"I get that," Korra sighed. She slumped back into her seat. She tried to reach the plate while sitting back but it was just out of reach so Mako pushed closer for her.

"You know, they'll be very disappointed if you two don't dance," Asami said to Korra and Mako indicating to a small group of reporters taking pictures in their direction.

"Then they'll be disappointed." Mako shrugged. Korra laughed lightly. Bolin and Opal joined the table and Opal put her feet up on an empty chair.

"What are we talking about?" Bolin asked.

"We just said the reporters aren't going to get any good pictures of Mako and Korra together." Asami said.

"Oh," Bolin's back was to the reporters so he had to look over his shoulder to see them, "Hey!" His' face brighten up, "Let's mess with them," He grinned.

"What are talking about?" Korra asked.

Bolin called out to Wei, "Do us a favor?"

"What is it?"

"Can you go ask the band to play some slow songs? And this is the important part, tell them that the avatar is making the request and make sure those reporters overhear,"

Wei made a little salute and headed in the direction of the band.

"Bolin, what are you planning?" Asami asked, but she already had an inkling of what he was thinking and a smile was growing on her lips.

"Opal, you won't mind if I dance with them for a bit?" He asked.

"Oh no, go right ahead" She laughed, "I'm already looking forward to the articles on this,"

The pace of the music changed and Opal shot a thumbs up in her brother's direction.

"Right, one last thing," Bolin whispered something in Mako's ear and then in Opal's. Mako nodded with a smile. "Let's do it,"

"I got it," Opal said to Bolin.

Mako and Bolin stood and made their way around the table to Asami and Korra, while Opal stood and walked over to Kai and Jinora who were just exiting the dance floor.

"Avatar Korra," Bolin bowed formally to her, "Could I have this dance?"

Korra laughed and stood. She even curtsied, playing along. "Why of course,"

"Ms. Sato, would you accompany me to the dance floor," Mako held out his hand for Asami, making sure the cameras could see them. She smiled sweetly and took his hand. Sure enough as they walked out the dance floor there was a rapid increase in the number of flashes going off.

"This is genius Bo," Korra laughed as they started to dance.

He smiled, "I have my moments,"

"I can't wait to see what they write. Especially since you've been dancing with Opal most of the night,"

"They'll probably say I'm playing the field. Keeping my options open,"

"And there will be some mention about flames in the article about Asami and Mako," She chuckled.

"There'll probably be flames in the story about you and Mako,"

"Why would there be a story about Mako and me?"

"Because you're about to dance with him,"

The brothers moved closer together and switched partners with ease.

Asami giggled as she was transfers over to Bolin's hands.

"Hello Asami,"

"Hello Bolin,"

"Lovely night to dupe the tabloids isn't it?"

"You've been spending too much with Varrick. Some of his signature brand of crazy genius is rubbing off."

"I'll take that as a complement,"

"Since when did you become such a good dancer?"

"Hey, I'm dating a Beifong. I have to know my stuff," He grinned. Asami laughed and then nudged Bolin. She nodded to the edge of the dance floor where Opal, Jinora and Kai were standing watching them. Kai mouthed 'this is cheating,'

Bolin shook his head and said in a carrying whisper so Kai was just able to hear "I'm just dancing with my friends," He winked at the younger boy. Kai folded his hands.

"Is this cheating? You'll definitely buy more time with this little show," Asami said.

"It's not cheating, because we'll even it up in a moment. It will be up to them," He jerked his head in the direction of the reports, "To write the story they want to write,"

"Even it up? What does that mean?"

"You'll see when the next song starts," Bolin smirked.

"Yep, you're definitely spent too much time with Varrick,"

Bolin only laughed. As the music stopped Bolin and Asami let go of each other to clap with the other dancers. The band took quick bows and got ready to play another set. Asami turned expecting to see Bolin ready to dance again. But he was gone. Turning she spotted him dancing with Jinora of all people, and she also saw Mako dancing with Opal. She was in the middle of the dance floor without partner, or so she taught.

"Ms. Sato,"

She smiled and turned, "Avatar Korra,"

"May I have the pleasure of a dance?"

"The pleasure would be all mine,"

Korra pulled her closer, slipping one hand into Asami's and the other resting on her waist. Asami's other hand was on Korra's shoulder.

"You know they planned for this to happen," Korra said smirking.

"It worked really well for a plan made up on the fly,"

"You don't mind dancing with me, do you?"

"You're the last person I'd mind dancing with," Asami whispered drawing Korra closer. They danced together for the next three songs.

Korra's hand slid to the small of Asami's back, "I really like you in this dress,"

"That was the entire point of it," Asami chuckled softly.

"Do you think we've stayed long enough?"

"It's not that late," Asami smirked, "And it's not it's a bad party, why would you want to leave?"

"Stop acting like you don't know," Korra tickled her side playfully.

The song ended and Asami whispered in her ear, "Let's go,"

They slipped out quietly and only made half way back to their rooms before Korra found herself pressed against a wall, Asami's lips on hers.

The next morning they were having a late breakfast with everyone. Bolin walked in late, yawning. He pulled out some money, quickly counted it and passed some to Pema, Su and Kya.

"The money I couldn't find last night," He said before sitting next to Opal.

"Thank you very much," Kya said.

"What's that about?" Korra asked.

"They won the bet," Bumi said.

"You got hold of newspapers already?" Asami asked.

"No, not that bet. They guessed between midnight and half past twelve," Mako said.

"Between…wait," Korra's jaw dropped, "You made a bet for when we'd leave?"

"Well, it was specifically it was when you'd sneak away to make out," Bolin said, "But same thing,"

It's was so much fun writing this. I hope you enjoyed. And the articles on this should be out soon.

Nardragon~ until the next page.
