"Are you finished with your list yet, Mako?"

"I think so." He said before taking a sip from his bottled water.

Korra's eyes widened as she scanned his list. "This is over a hundred people."

"Yeah."

"First of all, how do you know all these people? And secondly, we can't afford all these people."

"Think about it differently." He said. "More people equal more gifts."

Korra and Mako were currently at their home, making guest lists and going over them in anticipation for their wedding day. They had been engaged for just a few months and both were pretty eager about the wedding. To prepare for it, they decided to spend this day going over a few things. They started off with the guest list since they figured that could be done pretty easily. They were mistaken of course…

Mako moved closer on the couch to Korra and stretched out his legs. He flashed a smile at her as he drank his water again.

Korra smiled but shook head. "No Mako, that won't work; some of these people have to go."

Mako shrugged. "Alright, fine."

"Toza, Bolin, Mr. Hiroshi, Tenzin..." Korra read some of the names off his list. "…Amon? Are you serious?"

"Yes?"

"The evil guy with the mask that we defeated a few years back and sent to prison? That Amon?"

"Again I say, yes."

"What would possess you to put him on your list?" The Avatar was flabbergasted.

"Well, if I remember correctly, he brought us closer together with the whole Avatar State and near death experience thing...he made me realize how much I care about you..." Mako stared into Korra's eyes as he spoke. "...and that's one more person that'll bring a gift."

Korra rolled her eyes at the last part of his sentence. "Mako, he has to go."

Mako reached over, grabbed her list and looked at it. "Fine…but if Amon goes then so must she." He pointed to a name on her list.

Korra grinned. "Jinora?"

"Yeah, she's not on my list; I still don't see why she has to go anyway."

"How about because she's Avatar Aang's granddaughter...which, if you look at it closely, means she's kinda my granddaughter..."

"Doesn't matter; I told you before, she's been hanging out with Skoochy too long. She's starting to pick up his bad habits; I saw her steal something."

"You will never let her live that down, will you? She's young and just having fun, just because she stole food with Skoochy once doesn't mean she's a kleptomaniac."

"Well that's where she's headed, first its food, next it's your wedding ring." Mako shook his head. "I swear my wallet mysteriously went missing after she left the last time."

"Are you referring to the wallet you found in your other pants pocket?"

"…she snuck back in and put it back after she took a few dollars."

"Anyway…" Korra chuckled and went back to his list. "Hasook, Chief Beifong…Asami? Are you serious?"

"Yeah, what's wrong now?"

Mako stood up then and went to throw his empty bottle away. Korra stared at her fiancé incredulously without blinking. Mako refused to look at her as he threw the bottle in the garbage. He then grabbed another bottle of water from the refrigerator and leaned against the wall as he began to drink from it. Korra walked over and stood in front of him, demanding his attention.

"What's wrong?" She repeated his question. "I don't want your ex at my wedding."

"Don't you mean our wedding?"

"Again, I don't want your ex at my wedding."

"Why not? Is somebody jealous?" He smirked and touched her nose.

She frowned and smacked his hand away. "This isn't about jealousy Mako and you know that. I don't see why she has to be invited."

"I don't see why she shouldn't." He took another sip from his water. "She was cool when me and you started dating and I think she'd be happy for us now…besides, more gifts."

"Forget the gifts…that's not right, Mako." She shook her head. "Because you know you'd have a problem if I invited my ex."

"Invite all of your ex's for all I care." He shrugged.

"How about I start with Tahno?"

"The pretty boy that wears eyeliner? I never understood why you dated him."

"He doesn't wear eyeliner and he was very sweet during our relationship."

"He was a manwhore." Mako chuckled lightly. "But I don't care, invite him if you want."

Mako, thinking the conversation was over, went and sat back down on the couch. He grabbed the remote and started watching tv. Korra stood still for a moment and then, after a few seconds, grinned and walked over to the telephone.

"Alright then. I'll invite him to the wedding over dinner at…Benders Palace…yeah, they have good noodles and Tahno loves noodles."

She started dialing and Mako snapped his head in her direction.

"So, you've been keeping in contact with him?" He frowned. "You have his number and know what food he likes?"

Korra started laughing as she set the phone back down. "I haven't called Tahno in years and I just made that up about the noodles. I just wanted to show you that you would have a problem with it. You may be laid back but you're definitely the jealous one out of the two of us."

Mako turned his attention back to the television. "Whatever, you know that you'd throw a fit if I even hugged Asami."

He started flipping through channels and eventually Korra walked over and stood right in front of him.

"Yeah, right." She refused to move. "Let Tahno check me out or vice versus and you'll be all over him."

"Believe what you want." Mako tried to look around her.

"Alright Mako, if you're so sure lets have dinner with both of them and see."

He looked up at her. "You're blocking the television."

She snatched the remote and turned the tv off.

"Seriously, Korra?" He sighed. "I was watching that."

"What's wrong, afraid you'll end up losing this bet?" She smirked.

"Nope, I'm afraid I'll end up postponing our wedding."

"Why?"

"Because you'll be in jail and I'll be at Asami's funeral." He said.

"Ha-ha, funny." She said while pushing him playfully. "But I won't be murdering anybody. You should be more concerned about yourself."

"For what? I'm not jealous, never have been nor will I ever. There's no point in being jealous; what's mine is mine."

"We'll see." She said.

"Uh-huh."

"So we have a deal?"

"This is stupid," Mako sighed. "but if you'll give me the remote back, fine."

Korra watched as Mako held his hand out and she grinned. "I don't like your attitude; now you have to get the remote from me."

Mako stared at her. "Korra…"

Korra laughed as she took off running into another room. A smile tugged on Mako's lips as he remembered why he loved that woman so much in the first place. After a few seconds, he started after her, laughing as well.
