Author's Note: I'm so sorry it took me so long…I've been having some personal issues that have inhibited my writing time. But now that it's over and I'm better I can write more freely. Review if you want, no pressure! : )

Tenzin and Lin reach the temple in minutes, laughing as they walk towards the dining room for breakfast.

The two shove and push against each other, their laughter overshadowing any other source of sound around them.

"I totally won that, Tenzin. Don't be a sore loser!" Lin says, punching his arm.

He grimaces at the pain but the elated, relaxed look in Lin's eyes soothes him. "Hmmm, I might give you this one." he says, smirking.

She quirks her eyebrow at him then shoves him once more. "Oh, shut up. I wonder if anyone else is awake yet, I'm hungry."

He walks with her as they approach the dining room. He quickly steps in front of her in order to open the sliding door for her and she raises an eyebrow at him, a frown plastered on her face.

"What do you think you're doing?" she asks, disapproval marking her tone.

"Uhhh, I don''t know. I just-" Tenzin replies, his face feeling abnormally hot as his cheeks fill with rouge.

"Look, Tenzin. You know me, do you think I need a guy to open a door for me? No, right?" she asks. But before he could reply she continues. She turns her head toward the door, focusing on one of the panes. "So don't do things like this. I don't need you to do anything for me that I am perfectly capable of doing myself. Just because I kissed you does not mean you have to wait on me…or vice versa for that matter. Got that?"

Tenzin looks at her, astonished. "Um, yeah, sure Lin. I just thought it'd be a nice…gesture?" he says, afraid his own words would work against him just as his instincts did mere seconds ago.

"Well, I don't need that. I can open a door myself."

She looks at him and realizes he is gnawing at his lip, clearly unsure of what to do and intimidated by her. She did not mean to scare him, and immediately wished she had noticed earlier before her rant. "Hey, don't worry about it okay?" she says smiling, her hand reaching up to grasp his shoulder. "You're still cool."

She could swear she heard him release a relaxed sigh before she turned around to open the door to the dining room.

Her and Tenzin walk in to be greeted by the sight of their bustling companions, each one either reaching for the food on the table or chattering excitedly amongst themselves. Tenzin looks quizzically over at Honora and Bumi, the two giggling with each other.

"Tenzin, Lin, so glad that you two could join us." Toph says, her head nearly buried in a bowl of dumplings she was shoveling into her mouth.

At her greeting, the rest of the group halts and looks at them, remembering the fight the two were in the day before.

The group sat frozen, staring for what seemed like too long until Honora piped up, calmly. "I see that you two have made up."

Tenzin and Lin look at one another and share a smile. "Yeah, we've made up alright." Lin teases, sitting and treating herself to a full plate of food. Tenzin sits beside her, filling his own plate.

Toph smirks underneath her bowl but listens as the event unfolds.

Honora raises her brow at the two as they sit and laugh with one another, passing knowing smiles between each other. She gasps when she realizes what has happened.

"You two are a couple now!" She says, nearly squealing in delight, before she collects herself.

Tenzin and Lin look at her, clearly surprised at her quick assumption.

"How did you…"

"What's it to ya?"

The couple reply at the same time.

"Well, for one, you just admitted it, and two, it's obvious." Honora replies calmly.

At this point, Toph lets out a loud laugh. "Ms. Sparky here is right. You guys ooze that "new couple" vibe."

The rest of the group stare, fixated on the new couple as the two's faces turn a bright red as they shift awkwardly next to each other.

"Shut up!" Bumi says, laughing. "I knew it! Didn't I, Honora?"

"We all did, Bumi." Kya says, rolling her eyes.

"It's about time you two realized, I was getting so frustrated." Hakoda says, before looking over at Bumi. "Hey I think I won the bet!"

Lin finds refuge in Honora's appalled expression. She hoped that Honora was not going to embarrass her either.

"What are you talking about Hakoda? I won the bet and you know it!"

Lin groans and put her head in her hands as Tenzin silently chuckles to himself.

Lin notices his laughter and looks up at him, her eyes daggers. "You think this is funny?"

Tenzin looks at her, smiling widely. "Well, yes, I do. They've known longer than we have that we like each other!"

The whole room bursts into roaring laughter at his response. Even Lin, who moments before wanted to hit the boy for laughing at the situation, appreciated the truth in his reply and began laughing.

Minutes later, as the people in the room finally calmed down, Toph piped in, still smiling.

"So, what're our plans for today?"
