Tenzin strolled out onto the streets of Republic City after leaving the boat that transported those from Air Temple Island. He passed the usual park that he always did by Lin's house before making it there.

"Lin are you there?" He called out. No answer. Tenzin knocked again but she still did not come to the door. He stepped off the porch and rubbed his head in question.

I know we didn't make plans to meet up or anything but why isn't she here? Snapping out of his thoughts he began to walk into the town again hoping to find out where his girlfriend was.

Tenzin picked up a can off the sidewalk and tossed it into a nearby trashcan when he overheard a conversation.

"Yeah I'm serious!" He turned to see to elderly's talking amongst themselves.

"The chief's daughter is fighting those goons from the triads!? That really is unbelievable but if you saw something going down I'll take your word for it!"

Tenzin rushed to their side immediately. "Chief Beifong's daughter Lin correct? Where? Where is this fight happening?" So many thoughts ran through his mind. How could Lin think she could take on men from the triads!

The old man adjusted his glasses and looked up at Tenzin. He then bowed before the airbender and rose a shaking finger. "Not too far from here, over by 3rd street! Go boy!"

He didn't need to be told twice Tenzin raced over to the man's direction hoping it would not be too late.

….

Lin dodged their fire before lifting some earth and punching it towards them. She stepped on the ground with power and a giant pillar shot before them scaring one of the men between a metal shaft in which she quickly bent to squeeze him together to keep him from getting out.

"Aye! It's the chief's daugta!" One of the men slurred before throwing more fire at Lin. It was too fast and before Lin could move out of the way of the fire and strong wind got rid of it and they all turned to see what made such a powerful thing.

"Tenzin!" Lin shouted before covering herself with earth and charging toward the firebender.

They all stopped again when they heard the familiar police sirens.

"It's the police! Let's scram!"

"Aye what about me!" The man who was still stuck in the metal shouted.

But it was too late for him the others took off.

Tenzin rushed over to Lin and shook her by the shoulders. "Are you insane? You could have gotten hurt!" He embraced her, relieved she was okay.

"T-tenzin." Lin was about to back herself up, but she decided to let this one go and enjoy the embrace. 'I'm okay."

He broke the embrace and brushed a strand of her hair back. "You have no idea how worried I was when I found out you were in a fight with the triads." Tenzin kissed her forehead, and Lin closed her eyes.

"I know, I'm sorry."

"You should be!"A new voice stated.

Lin groaned. That voice could only belong to one person. Her mother.

"Lin! What do you think you are doing?" Her mother shouted.

Lin tried to play the cool act but thought better of it. "Catching bad guys?" She said pointing towards the struggling man now being handled by two metalbenders.

Toph rubbed her temple. "Lin, I try not to get angry when you get yourself into these situations, because I know one day you're going to be running things and doing stuff like.. like this." She paused. "But right now you're still too young and if something happened to you I don't know what I'd do.

Lin hugged her mother. "Sorry mom, but I couldn't just stand by and watch that shop keeper get harassed."

Toph smiled. "And that's where I become proud of you."

"Chief this guy won't cooperate! Can we get you over here for a second?"

Toph sighed. "You guys go do whatever it is you do. I'll see you later." With that Toph walked back over to the criminal. But before she could begin talking the shopkeeper got to her first.

"That's a strong one you have there." He stated.

She looked over to Lin who was now walking with Tenzin.

Toph smiled. "Yeah, I know."

….

"I leave you alone for a day and this is what happens! Geez Lin you will never cease to amaze me."

Lin sighed. "Alright, alright. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get some scolding from your mom so you can cool it now."

Now he sighed. "Probably."

Lin playfully punched him. "Shut up." She laughed.

They walked in comfortable silence before Tenzin began to speak again.

"You're going to be an amazing police chief one day."

She took this in. "You think?"

He smiled and looked down at her before leaving a single warm kiss on her lips. "I know."
