"Oooo I heard you and Mako have been spending a lot of time together since our visit from the South Pole!" exclaimed Ikki, as her, Korra, and Jinora were practicing some basic airbending techniques on Air Temple Island.

"Well, me and Mako, were sort of dating now." Korra replied, clearly emabrassed to be discussing the topic.

"Well, it looks like your tall handsome firebender boy is here." Jinora said smugly.

Korra looked up to see Mako approaching them.

"Hey" Korra said.

"Hey, I just thought I'd stop by, do you have a minute?" Mako asked.

"Sure" Korra replied, and the two made their way to the edge of the island, which overlooked a breathtaking view of Republic City.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" Korra asked.

"Well, you know how my parents were killed by a crazy firebender?"Mako started.

"Yeah, how could I forget." Korra stated.

"I've been thinking, and what if I can…" he paused and looked at Korra before continuing, "What if I can prevent that from happening to other people."

"What do you mean?" Korra asked, unclear at what he was getting at.

"What if I joined the police here in Republic City to help reduce the crime rate and bust some gangs that are causing chaos and abusing nonbenders in the city?" Mako said.

Korra didn't know what to say, she liked the fact that Mako wanted to help innocent people, but she didn't like the idea of Mako being in dangerous situations with gangs. "Mako, won't that be dangerous? I mean, you could get hurt." Korra said in a worried tone.

"Korra." Mako said as he leaned closer toward her. "I will be fine, it's not me I'm worried about, it's the innocent people who are suffering, but I promise to be careful and stay safe."

"Well ok…" Korra said, still weary but trusting that Mako would would indeed be careful, "Then I will support you, and help you if you ever need help busting any of those triads." She smiled saying the last part.

"That's the Korra I love." Mako said leaning in to kiss her.

"Ewwwwww! There about to kiss!" yelled Ikki from behind a bush.

"Be quiet they'll know were here!" whispered Jinora.

"Ikki! Jinora! Have you been spying on us the entire time!" yelled Korra, Mako chuckled.

"Retreat!" Ikki screamed as she started to run, with Jinora right on her heels.

"Yeah that's right you better run!" Korra yelled after them .

"Well that was fun." Mako said, smiling, "Thank you for supporting me in my decision." He said as he kissed her forehead.

"Don't mention it, I trust you Mako." Korra said as they made their way back to the center of the island.
