The Waterbender's Love and the Mechanic's Passion (Korrasami fanfiction)

Chapter 4

“Korra, c’mon! We’re running behind schedule!” Asami yelled from outside.

“Oh, I’m sorry, are you helping carry any of your bags to the car? Noooo…” Korra complained.

Riko giggled, sitting on the front lawn of the cabin. Her arm was still bandaged tightly. Today they were leaving the fire nation and returning to Republic City. As Korra carried the last of the bags to the car, Asami ran back inside to make sure nothing was left behind. She lifted Riko into her arms on her way back to the car.

“Okay, we’re all set. Everyone ready?” Asami said.

Korra had already jumped in the passenger seat in excitement. Riko looked excited, too. She had never been in a car before. Korra sat her on her lap and Asami climbed into the driver seat. Riko was giddy with excitement. She gripped the side door as the car engine started.

“Korra, hold on to her. I don’t want her flying out of the car.” Asami demanded.

Korra smiled and hugged her arms around Riko’s waist. “Roger, captain!”

Asami laughed and they sped away.

A few hours later they made it in time for the ferry back to the earth kingdom, which then took another 3 days. Once they made it back on land, it was another day’s drive to Republic City.

Towers and bright lights came into view on the night horizon. Asami smiled at the sight of home and she shook the two girls awake.

Riko jumped up in amazement, making Korra quickly grab her before she fell. The girl gripped the windshield and stared at the big city.

They drove into the city and Riko couldn’t help but to look all around her. The city scene was entirely new to her. She gasped at every new thing she saw.

Her eyes bulged when they pulled into the driveway of a huge mansion. “No way…” She whispered.

Asami giggled. “Yep, this is our home sweet home!”

The house doors swung open as two men ran out to greet them home. “Korraaaa! Asamiii! I missed you!” Bolin cried.

“Bolin, c’mon, give them some space.” Mako said, grabbing his brother.

“Where have you been?!” Bolin continued. “Naga has been going crazy as have I with you gone!”

Korra giggled. Riko sat on Korra’s shoulders as they approached them.

Both men stared at her. Mako was the first to say something. “Umm, Korra? Why is there a little girl on your shoulders?”

Korra sweat-dropped. Nervously she answered, “Um, well, we, uh, we sort of adopted her.”

“What?!” Both men screamed.
