dance dance, we're falling apart to half time

[anatural]

When; Friday, January 18th, evening
Rating; PG
Characters; Korra and her friends and anyone who happens to be in the club. Come one, come all!
Summary; Korra decides to celebrate 6 months in the City by dancing.
Log;She'd been woken up that morning by a incessant beeping noise; it took her a full three minutes to figure out it was her device and how to turn it off (she almost breaks it in her frustration, but she doubts she'd get any sympathy from Chekov if she broke yet another piece of electronic equipment).

What was so important that her device felt compelled to disturb her slumber?

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SIX MONTH ANNIVERSARY!

Who sent it? How did they know? Korra doesn't bother wondering. Six months… At first the thought horrifies her…but it hasn't been all bad. She fingers the necklace that Chekov had given her.

She can either spend the day distracted and wallowing, or she can remind herself of the good things she has here.

She decides to go dancing.


-----------

It's clear no one ever taught her how to get dressed for clubbing; she's just wearing her "I Mustache You A Question" t-shirt and Chekov's necklace, a strange combination of casual and fancy. Somehow she makes it work. And it's a bit early in the night for the club to really be rocking, but that doesn't slow Korra down any. She's in the middle of the dance floor, being taught some new moves by the club's regulars and just in general having a grand old time.

Come join her?

"Friends...." She couldn't help it. Even if they considered themselves a little family, Tohru still blushed happily at Korra's words, before giving Korra's hand a light squeeze.

"Yes. You're right. I wouldn't want a party without my friends, either. I'm very grateful I met you and Jinora!"

Korra grins and squeezes Tohru's hand back. "I'm parched," she says. "You wanna get some water?"

[riceballfruit]

"Oh, yes," Tohru immediately agrees with a nod. "We should stay hydrated. It would be bad to not think of that. Even if this is fun." She's already headed to the bar, still holding onto Korra's hand.

Korra laughs and follows along. "Two waters, please!" she says to the bartender. She settles down on a stool and lets out a sigh that's half happiness, half weary resignation.

Tohru seats herself as well. When the waters arrives, she raises her glass and says, "To Korra's six months! And to having a wonderful family, and a comfortable place to call home in a strange City!"

Korra grins and raises her glass as well.

"And to new friends," she adds.

[riceballfruit]

"Yes! To new friends. The best part," Tohru agreed, raising her glass again, before she took a drink.

"This is nice to do once in a while."

Korra chugs her water and sighs happily before resting her head on her hand. "It's about time we had some fun."

With another breath, her mood begins sinking. Stupid, reminding herself of how terrible things have been. She doesn't want to think about the past few weeks.

[riceballfruit]

"Yes, yes it is," Tohru agrees. And maybe she noticed Korra's mood sink, maybe not, but whichever it was, she grabs for Korra's hand once more.

"Do you want to go back on the dance floor?" Tohru asked, beaming. She was excited, and ready to, already. The beat of the current song was calling to her, and Tohru still didn't really get beats.

Korra smiled and squeezed Tohru's hand.

"Yes."

Nothing like dancing to make the bad memories go away.

Thrilled by that - Tohru had rather enjoyed it - she led Korra back out there, hands still linked. It was only once they were on the dance floor she let go.
