"This is so exciting!" said Korra, "New airbenders in the city, I bet we can find that guy before Mako does–" She was cut short as Asami threw the keys at her. She looked at them with worry. "You know I'm not very good at this?"

Asami looked at her with a soft gaze and spoke. "You're the Avatar; master of all the elements. You should know how to drive. Besides," She flipped her hair for a graceful effect, "It's relaxing."

Asami's graceful face soon changed to one of panic and worry as she rode passenger with Korra. "Clutch! Clutch!" She found herself saying that more and more. Both she and Korra grunted along, as Korra struggled to control the clutch, until the vehicle came to a hard halt. "That's the break." She regained herself. "Let's try again. You ready?" she asked. Quickly Korra saluted her and made a face imitating Mako's. Both of them laughed.

Korra restarted the ignition and asked. "How long do you think talking to Mako's gonna be like pulling teeth?"

"Well, Mako's never been the most in touch with his feelings guy." They continue the drive. "But, it'll get better, eventually."

"So, when I was gone, did he tell you that we broke up?"

"Yeah, we all knew. Sorry."

"That's pretty embarrassing." Korra could feel the blood rush to her face. She closed her eyes in hope that could hide her.

"Actually," Asami interjected, "I need to tell you something about that, and I should have told you this sooner but…" She readied herself. "While you were gone…I…kind of kissed him…" Korra looked at her. Asami lowered her head. "I'm sorry."

Korra simply laughed at the news and continued driving. "No wonder he's so nervous around us."

"You're not mad?" Asked Asami.

"No." Korra grew a smirk on her face. "I mean, I kissed Mako when he was going out with you, so."

Asami looked at her with a serious look. "You what?"

Korra instantly felt remorse for her words and freaked. "I'm so sorry! I thought you knew!"

Asami leaned back in her seat and smirked as well. "I'm just kidding. I knew a long time ago."

Korra laughed in relief. "Well, whatever happened with Mako, I'm glad it hasn't come between us. I've never had a girlfriend to hang out with and talk to before, except for Naga." She looked at Asami, and Asaim looked at her. "This is nice." It was, after everything that had happened, Korra was glad to have some time to slow down.

"You know…" Said Asami.

"What?"

"Nothing. It's just…Nevermind." She looked away and began to blush.

"What? Tell me." Korra looked back and forth between the road and Asami.

"No, it's nothing; I'm just thinking…stuff…"

"What kind of stuff?"

"Well, promise not to hate me?"

"I promise?" Now Korra was really curious about what Asami was thinking.

"I was thinking," She started. "In a… kind of…weird way…" She was stalling. "We've…kind of…kissed." Asami winced as she awaited Korra's reaction…

But all Korra did was laugh "What?" she tried to ask. "How's that?"

"Well, I've kissed Mako, and you've kissed him. So…somehow, through him, we've… kissed."

"Huh?" Korra thought about it. "I guess you're right."

"Really?" Asami was both relieved and surprised by her reaction.

"Yeah. So,"Korra turned to Asami with a cocky look. "How was I?"

Asami nearly choked on her saliva. "What?"

"Yeah, you know, how was I? At kissing?" Korra wanted that answer.

Asami just chuckled. "I should be asking you that. You dated him last."

"Yea, but you kissed him after we broke up. Remember?"

"I do." Asami thought about how to answer her. She didn't want to put her off, or worse insult her. "Well, to be honest, I did feel a change in him, but maybe it was because I was thinking about you."

"Excuse me?" The last part stunned Korra.

"Wait! No, not what I meant." Asami blushed furiously. "I meant I was thinking about how Mako had just broken up with you."

"But you were still thinking of me?" Now she was just having fun with it.

"I was thinking of Mako and his situation."Asami tried to explain.

"That involved me. So you were thinking of me, while you were kissing him?"

"Ugh…technically…" Asami was flustered and just gave up. "Yes. I was thinking of you, while I was kissing Mako."

"HA! That's great!" Korra loved this. No matter how hard she tried, she could not get rid of the grin on her face. "So we've made out, and you've thought of me while you were making out with someone else. I'm flattered Asami, I really am."

"And why shouldn't you be?" Asami replied sarcastically. "You're the Avatar; master of the clutch."

"I haven't messed up yet!" Korra corrected.

"Right." Asami laughed a bit. But then, she had that serious look on her face. "But in all honesty, would it really be such a bad thing?"

"What?"

"If we kissed." She looked at Korra. "You said you wouldn't hate me right? You promised, remember?"

"I do…"Korra started to grow anxious. She tried to steady herself and continue driving.

"So, let's do it." Asami got out of her seat and moved closer to her. "Korra," she whispered. "Use the breaks…" Slowly but surely, Korra brought the car to a stop. She was nervous. What was Asami going to do? "Korra…" She said her name again. "Korra…" Her voice was hushed. Even with the noise of the city she could hear Asami calling to her, like a Siren. "Korra…" She finally turned to face Asami. Everything about her was so right. She never noticed it until now. Her skin was so smooth. The little make up she did use was more than enough to accentuate her natural beauty. Her lips seemed plum and kissable…

"It wouldn't be… such a bad thing…right?" Korra moved slowly, closer and closer to Asami. She could feel Asami's breath on her skin. They were so close, and in an instant, Asami made the final push and pressed her lips against Korra's. That was is, they were kissing, Korra was too shocked to close her eyes. She never thought she would do anything like this. Let alone with her only girlfriend. Girlfriend, Korra thought. That one word. She kept saying it to herself. The more she said it, the more, this, felt right. She relaxed. She started to close her eyes and sink deeper into the moment. She opened her mouth and she felt Asami's tongue meet her own. Then Asami leaned back, and broke the kiss. As she did, Korra inched towards her, she didn't want to stop. But when she looked up Asami had nothing but a smile on her face.

"So, was it good for you too?" was all Asami said.

"Uh…" Korra was speechless, was this just a joke to her? She felt so hurt. Korra opened herself up to her and she just, she just–

"Hey, hey," Asami placed her hand on her shoulder and look into her eyes. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, it was just a joke."

"What?" Korra was on the verge of tears.

"No! Not what I meant! Spirits, I'm so bad with words today. I meant, what I said, the first time, not the kiss, the kiss was…" She was hesitant. "The kiss was…" She looked back at Korra. The Avatar that was always so energetic and ready and headstrong was now curled up in a seat. Looking so vulnerable…Asami reached out again, this time she embraced Korra. She held her tight and didn't want to let go. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean for things to get like this." She released Korra so she could speak face to face with her. "I want you to know that I care about you, really I do, I…It's just, you were teasing me about liking you and the truth is…I kind of…do…like you…"

Korra was still shocked but she did feel better. "So the kiss?"

"At first, I was teasing you, but when I kissed you, it felt right. When I kissed Mako it was nice, I felt like he cared about me. But when I kissed you, it's like…it's just feels like it's meant to be. Like this is just… right…I'm sorry, I still teased you though…"

"It's okay…"Korra said as she wiped her eyes. She looked back at Asami and smiled. "So…how was I?" There was a pause. But then both of them laughed.

Asami looked back at Korra and kissed her forehead. "You were perfect. Now come on, we were supposed to look for the new airbender."

"Oh right. Alright, let's get to it." Korra restarted the car and continued down the road. Asami sat back down in her seat and stared off into the distance. But she felt her hand be grabbed by another. She looked over to see Korra's hand holding her own. Korra looked back at her. She thought that was sweet, but then she had another thought…

"Vine. Vine!"
