Asami and Korra sat on a park bench near the public stage, gently holding each other's hand. Bolin's new "rock" band was playing in a few minutess, so Asami and Korra both decided to use their lunch breaks to watch their best friend play.
"Where do you think Opal is?" Korra asked her raven-haired girlfriend. Asami glanced around the park.
"I don't know. Usually whenever Bolin announces an idea, she backs him up one hundred percent until he loses interest." Korra explained, shrugging her shoulders.
Could this be such a bad idea to come watch her friend play.
The few spectators that watched the stage started to clap as Bolin and his band arrived on the stage. "Thank you all for coming! My name's Bolin, and we are the Fire Ferrets 3.0, and no, we do not do probending." Bolin announced, waving to the crowd. He then pointed to Korra and Asami and gave them a thumbs-up. They returned the gesture.
Mako sorely waved. He and his eternal grouchiness had been suckered into joining Bolin's band as a drummer. Did Mako know how to play the drums? No, but then again, he might be good, considering he's Mako. Drums were simple enough for him.
Then Bolin strapped the newest instrument, the "guitar" around his body with a body strap. With a quick beginning strum, the band began with a steady beat and easy tempo. It was actually pretty good.
Then Bolin began to sing.
It was a screech, then an off-key voice running ragged in the air. People covered their ears. Their children's ears. A large dragonfly spirit had crash landed after collapsing with shock while flying over the band. It was probably dying.
But Korra and Asami grinned and bared it, all while holding hands. "For Bolin?" Korra asked.
"For Bolin." Asami responded. There were going to be on that bench for a long time.
"You're too sweet." Asami kissed Korra on the cheek. A red flush washed over the Avatar. Korra laughed. "I'll repay your kindness to our friends later."
"Thanks, Bo, for being a wingman and not knowing about it." Korra thought of Bolin.
Maybe they'd have to go to more concerts.
