'Avatar Korra. What do we owe the pleasure of this visit?' Tarlok asked on behalf of the council,

'I came to petition for the discrimination and witch-hunting of the non-bending neighbourhoods to stop,' she said to the council

'ah but avatar Korra is not a witch hunt of discrimination. We are simply doing our jobs of protecting the city,' tarlok said standing to circle her, 'now as the council knows my methods have been giving us results. The equalist rallies have died down, the grumblings of the non-benders have ceased and we even captured a few high ranking members of the equalists,'

'tarlok your methods aren't effective the people are just afraid.' Tenzin spoke up angrily,

'scared or not results are results. Shall the council take a vote on the matter,' tarlok continued

As Korra and Tenzin looked at each other in dread the council once again voted in tarlok's favour. Korra left the city hall angry the last thing she was tarlok's ugly smirk as she made her way to the gym.

Bolin and Korra were sparing when mako walked in with Asami.

'guys I have good news,' he told the two, 'Asami's dad has agreed to sponsor us for the tournament,

Bolin was in shock, 'are you serious?' he said making his way over to his brother,

'of course,' mako hugged him knowing how important this was to him, he whispered, 'we'll make dad proud don't worry,'

Asami and Korra watched the brothers with small smiles on their faces.

Asami approached Korra, 'hey we haven't gotten to speak since we first met. I was hoping we could be friends,'

'oh yea I've been busy...between training, the equalists and pro-bending, I've haven't had a lot of time to relax,' Korra said to her

'sounds like your're under a lot of pressure, why don't we go out for drinks tonight?' asmai asked,

'sounds good,'

'great meet me at 7 at the ignite bar,'

'see you then,'

Asami left to allow the three to practice for the tournament tomorrow.

Korra was nervous. She never had any female friends to hang out with or had the chance to just go out and have drinks. All the time in the south was used for training with naga being her only companion. She had no idea what to wear and she didn't want to look the same when she knew Asami would be stunning. As Korra paced her room, Pema walked in,

'Korra.'

'oh heyy Pema,' she responded nervously

'what's wrong? Tenzin is worried you'll create a line through the floor,'

Korra sighed and sat down,

'it's just I have a date tonight and I don't know what to wear or how to act ive never had a girl friend before. It was always just me and naga.'

'oh honey. Don't worry everything will be fine I'm sure you'll have a blast. Come. Follow me,'

Pema led Korra to her room, which was just like hers but a little bigger. Pema opened an old trunk and pulled out a beautiful red dress.

Korra looked at the gorgeous dress in awe.

'Pema this is beautiful. But how?'

Pema laughed at Korra's question, 'before I met Tenzin and became an air acolyte. I was just a normal girl of mixed heritage. This dress was mother's she was fire nation, while my father was earth kingdom. I think this dress will be perfect for tonight,'

'Thank you, Pema." Korra said with a hug

'your welcome dear, I'm not wearing it anyway. Go try it on,'

After Korra got ready and looked at herself in the mirror. She smiled at how great the dress looked on her. It was a simple red crop top with a long high waisted skirt. The colour brought out her brown skin creating a glowing picture before her. Korra left the temple excited but still a little nervous. what if she doesn't want to be friends anymore? these little doubts still filled her head but she decided to push them to the side. she won't let them ruin her night.
