Korra was sitting at the makeup table brushing her wet, disheveled hair with a despondent look on her face, she thought it was because she was wearing black, or possibly for the fact that she had to go to a funeral of a loved one. She finished brushing her hair and just sits there looking at her lap as her beloved Asami walks in.

"Are you ready to go sweetie?" Asami says softly.

Korra nods lightly "yeah" she says ever so quietly.

"Come on, we don't want to be late" Asami says as she puts her arms around her girlfriend.

They walk out to the car, Asami driving as Korra is too sad to drive, Korra just couldn't believe what had happened, she recalls the memory of the day she got the news like it was yesterday, she remembers that she just fell into a hump on the floor and that Asami cradled her, she felt like she had lost a part of her, which she would never get back.

20 minutes later and they had arrived at their destination, Asami looked over at Korra and held her hand, Korra looks at Asami to see her looking at her with a saddened smile on her face, Korra smiles back a little, Asami leans over and kisses Korra on the lips.

"Let's go in and see everybody, yeah?" Asami says lightly.

"Ok" Korra replies.

They climb out of the car and walk inside, Korra looks around the room noticing that pretty much everyone had turned up even a few people she didn't know, Korra found a seat and sat down straight away.

"I'll be back in just a sec, ok sweetie?" Asami said.

Korra nodded ever so slightly.

A few minutes later and Asami had returned, sat down next to Korra and placed her left arm around her while holding her right hand with hers, Korra feels a hand being placed on her left shoulder, it was Pema.

"Hey Korra, how are you feeling?" Pema says.

"I'm ok, how are you and Tenzin doing?" Korra replies.

"We're ok" Pema replies with a slight smile.

Pema looks over at Tenzin, she sees him talking with Suyin, all of a sudden the funeral director grabs everyone's attention.

"We will begin in about 5 minutes" he says.

Tenzin pulls the funeral director aside "can we wait a little longer, someone hasn't turned up yet?" Tenzin says.

"Fine, I will give them 10 minutes" the funeral director replies.

"Thank you, I appreciate it" Tenzin says with slight gratititude.

Korra looks around and notices that Lin is nowhere to be found, she found it a little odd, but then realised she probably had to work, after all it's not easy being the chief of a police force. Lin finally turns up with a minute to spare, Tenzin looks over at the funeral director and gives him a slight nod, the funeral director nods back.

"Ok everyone, shall we begin?" The funeral director says.

The funeral director walks up to the podium and waits while everyone takes a seat, after about a minute everyone is seated.

The funeral director starts speaking "we are gathered here today to celebrate the life of Master Katara of the Southern a Water Tribe...".

Korra goes off into her mind as the funeral director is speaking, thinking about the day that Katara let her escape the white lotus compound, saying that she had to find her own path as the avatar and recalling about how Katara said that she thought Korra would make a great avatar.

Asami squeezed Korra's hand which brought Korra back as the funeral director was finishing up his speech, she looked at Asami and have her a little smile, then looked back towards the front.

"...and now, a few words from her youngest son, Tenzin".

"Thank you. My mother was a very spirited woman, she was a loving wife and sister, she was the best mother that Bumi, Kya and I could have asked for. She was always willing to help people, and she loved to teach new waterbenders..."

At this point in time Korra drifts off into another memory of the first time Katara taught her some waterbending moves, she particularly remembers Katara teaching her the water whip and telling her the story of how she got frustrated because she couldn't get it right and Aang got it the first time he tried the move, Korra remembers laughing at the story.

A tear runs down her cheek, Asami notices and wipes Korra's cheek and then proceeds to rest Korra's head on her shoulder. By this time Tenzin was finishing up, as Korra looked back at the front.

"...you will be forever in our hearts mother, we love you".

Tenzin goes back to his seat and sits down, the funeral director walks up to the podium.

"Anybody else want to say anything?" He says.

Nobody answers as they are all too stricken with grief.

"Ok we will finish up here then, there are light snacks and refreshments in the other room".

Everybody gets up and moves into the other room, Korra perks up a little bit as the air bending kids come over to her.

"Hey Korra" they all say simultaneously.

"Hey kids, how are you all?" She replies.

"We're ok, how are you?" Jinora utters.

"I'm doing alright, I guess" Korra replies softly.

Tenzin calls the kids back over to him, they quickly run back over. Korra looks towards Asami, Asami already looking at her, Asami leans in and kisses Korra on the cheek and smiles at her slightly, Korra smiles back.

"Can we go? I'm getting a bit tired" Korra asks.

"Are you sure?" Asami replies.

"Yeah" Korra says ever so quietly.

Asami walks over to Tenzin and tells him that Korra and her are leaving.

"Thank you for coming and tell Korra thank you as well" he says.

"You're welcome and I will tell her" Asami says.

Asami walks back over to Korra, grabs her jacket and intertwines her arm with Korra's arm as they walk towards the door, they exit the building and get into their car and drive home, they get home, walk into the house and Korra goes straight to bed, Asami goes into the bedroom and holds Korra.

"I love you so much sweetie" Asami quietly says.

"I love you... too" Korra says as she drifts off to sleep.
