Water Massage

 

                “We need a way to find him,” Azula slammed her palm against the table, making the flames on the hanging torches flicker. Mai and Ty Lee exchanged a glance. “My traitorous brother was a fool. There are most likely hundreds of things he overlooked. Why can’t we think of just one?”

                “Maybe we just need some rest,” Ty Lee forced a smile. “I’m sure we would think much better after a good night’s rest.” Azula scoffed and pushed her chair from the table, bridging the distance to the door with a series of long strides.

                “Fine, I’ll figure out something on my own.” She slammed the steel door, her heavy boots echoing down the corridor. Ty Lee turned to Mai and lowered her lip in a sour expression, raising her eyebrows. Mai shrugged.

                “We have to figure out a way to loosen her up,” Ty Lee frowned, crossing her legs and leaning back in her chair. “She’s riding us day and night.” Mai spread her fingers and examined her nails.

                “Maybe she needs a boyfriend to calm her down.” She imagined Azula swooning over a boy and looked up to see Ty Lee staring at her on the verge of laughing. They both snorted and broke into a fit of giggles. The gymnast held her stomach and the table as she began to recover.

                “Okay, that’s not happening, I guess…” She took a breath, wiping a tear from her eye. The red ribbon that wrapped around her arm dangled back and forth. “That was a good one, though.”

                “What about…” The darker haired girl made a face, quirking a brow. Ty Lee flushed.

                “How in the heck would we get that to happen, Mai?” She waved her hands, looking to the door as if Azula would burst back in and burn them to cinders.

                “Look, we know she’s not getting a boyfriend… how about just some fun?” Mai flushed. “I mean, when Zuko was around, I know it would always clear my head…”

                “Who would we get, though?” She smirked. “How about that cute water-tribe boy from Omashu?” Mai tilted her head.

                “We’d have to find him first…”

                “Oh, I know how to find them.” She grinned. “I’m just keeping it to myself until Azula calms down…” She winked. “We need a little break…” Mai rolled her eyes as she pushed herself away from the table, walking to the door.

                “You’re on your own for this one,” she said, closing the door. Ty Lee grinned. 

                It took her and her lizard a quarter of a day of tracking the Sky Bison’s hair, but when she found him the water tribe boy was nowhere to be seen. She guessed he was in town with the Avatar, stocking up on supplies. She sighed and smacked her forehead with her palm. As she was turning around, however, she heard a noise.

                Dismounting, she took a few steps out of the forest, tracking the sound with her ear. Was it singing? She inched closer, scanning for the source. At last she found it – the water tribe girl was singing in the river. Bathing while the boys are away, she thought, grinning at the thought of having caught her with her pants down. The girl had her back turned, but her tanned skin glistened in the light. The singing stopped and Ty Lee ducked back behind a tree. Had the girl seen her?

                After a moment, she heard a noise and peeked out. The girl had her fingers beneath the water and she was… what was she doing? She frowned, watching the movements for awhile longer before she watched the girl toss her head back, her mouth open in a moan. She grinned again. Maybe this is what Azula needs… She crept up on the girl (an easy task with a sleeping bison and her back turned), getting a better view of the phallus of water the girl was controlling.

                “Azula’s going to have so much fun,” She giggled. The girl froze for only a second, but that was all Ty Lee needed – she danced around her and pressed three pressure points, disabling the girl’s ability to bend before pressing another, knocking her unconscious. “Guess I said that out loud,” she shrugged. “Oh well.” She carried the girl back to her lizard and wrapped her in a blanket before mounting up.

                “Where have you been, Ty Lee?” The fire princess asked as she entered the meeting hall.

                “Looking for something,” The girl smiled.

                “What, exactly?” Azula’s brow tightened.

                “Look, I know you’ve been stressed lately, so I thought I’d get you a massage.”

                “My problem is the Avatar, not some silly pressure point work-“

                “No, no – It’s not me who’s going to be giving it to you,” She smiled. “I have an authentic water tribe masseuse here with some foreign techniques, sure to give you everything you need.” Azula sighed. It was often better to give into Ty Lee’s requests than argue – the girl had no sense sometimes.

                “So be it.” She stood. “Lead the way.” Ty Lee did, swallowing as she lead the princess to her chambers. Would she recognize the girl? She hoped not – she had seen her only once before and she was pre-occupied with the Avatar. Maybe, just maybe it would work. She opened the door to show a massage table, tables beside it adorned with scented candles. On the far side of the room stood Katara, smiling as best she could in her fire-nation garb provided by Ty Lee. “Hope this works,” She said, smiling as she took her seat.

                Azula sighed and began to disrobe. “So, you’re a real professional, are you?” She asked, dropping her robes and pulling the neck-piece over her head. Katara nodded, sweat beading on her forehead.

                “She’s a little nervous,” Ty Lee smiled. “Who wouldn’t be?” Azula nodded, satisfied with the answer as she undid her breast bindings and pants, stepping out of her boots and lying face-down on the table. Ty Lee stared a hot gaze at Katara and she nodded, swallowing as she bent the water out of the basin. You do as I say and you get to live and get back to the Avatar. No one will ever know about this. Refuse and you won’t see tomorrow, Ty Lee had told her.

                Katara went through the motions at first, touching the spots Ty Lee had showed her, doing the dance she had been taught. Despite her trepidations, Azula began to relax and seemingly melt into the bed. Ty Lee motioned at the water bender and Katara nodded.

                “Time to turn over, princess.” The fire bender looked up, confused.

                “No fire-bending masseuse ever massaged my front…” She protested. She cast a glance at Ty Lee, who shrugged.

                “I hear it works wonders for stress.” Azula shook her head and sighed, but turned over all the same. Katara laid the water over her and kept it there as she made tiny filaments of water and had them all massage Azula from neck to toe. The princess moaned as her body relaxed, pressure points being massaged simultaneously as Katara made sure to keep the tendrils from key areas.

                All the same, her pert pink nipples began to harden. Ty Lee smirked, but made no remark. “Enjoying yourself, princess?”

                “Mmm,” Azula responded, paying little attention as the water began to push her thighs apart.

                “Good.” She smiled. “Now, Katara.” Azula was about to ask her meaning when what felt like a cool tongue began to lap at her between her legs. Her eyes shot open and she tried to rise, but the water at her shoulders held her down and that around her wrists and ankles froze into bindings.

                “Ty Lee, what is the meaning of thi-“ She gasped as the tendrils around her breasts began to massage her nipples, teasing from all angles.

                “Just enjoy it, Azula,” Ty Lee smiled, getting up and standing next to the fire princess. “Let’s get rid of all that stress.”

                “I’ll have you b-banish-“ Azula gasped as the lapping water between her legs found her most sensitive spot. Her knees turned inwards as her body began to rock.

                “Ban what, Azula?” She knelt close to her old friend. The fire princess could only moan as Katara, now completely flushed, continued her work. “That’s what I thought,” She smiled, grabbing Azula by the chin and pressing her lips against hers. Azula’s eyes shot open again and Ty Lee pulled back, wiping her mouth. She felt the heat between her legs as she watched Azula writhe.

                “It’s about time you finish her up, Katara…” Ty Lee smiled at the girl. “Use that little trick you were using on yourself.” The water bender blushed deep, averting her eyes as she turned the water into a phallus. “A little bigger – let’s get ‘Zula to have a little fun…” Katara obliged, giving the water a size any man would kill to have. “Thaat’s better…”

                Katara kept up the licking water while sliding the phallus into the princess. Azula’s mouth opened wide. “Yes, yes, God, yes.” She mumbled as it began to spread her open. Katara slid it in inch by inch, letting the princess adjust. The tendrils continued to play with her nipples and the tongue licked faster than ever. Katara expected to have more to do, but as the phallus entered her fully, Azula, the fire Princess began to buck, arching her back as he cried out. The candles burned high.

                After a minute, the flames extinguished and Azula’s cries tapered off. She fell into a deep sleep.

                Katara led the water back to the basin, melting the frozen portion. She held her arm as Ty Lee pressed a few pressure points on Azula’s body before looking up with a smirk. 

                “She’ll be out for a day… when she wakes up, she won’t remember any of this. Her body will, though.” She giggled.

                “Am I done…?” Katara asked, not looking the girl in the eyes.

                “Not quite. Come with me.” She took her hand and led her to her own room – a small space with a large bed and a dresser.

                “What is it?” Katara asked, her voice growing hotter by the second. “You spy on me, knock me out, drag me all the way here, threaten me, and make me do…do THAT… and I’m not done?”

                “No.”

                “No? NO?” Her anger flared. Ty Lee smiled, moving forward and forcing Katara to press herself back against the wall.

                “No.” She pressed her lips against the water bender’s, hard. Katara’s eyes widened in shock and she tried to push Ty Lee away with all of her strength. The gymnast used both hands to press a pressure point on each of Katara’s arms before pulling back from the kiss. She bent her lips to the girl’s ear. “I can make this fun and nice or mean and rough…” Katara shivered. “I know,” She traced her tongue across the darker girl’s earlobe. “You don’t want to want it, but you do…” Katara turned her head away from Ty Lee’s lips, wincing.

                Ty Lee used the opportunity to kiss her neck, forcing another shiver from her. “I’ll make you forget too…” She could almost hear the gears turning in the water bender’s head. “That’s right… When I bring you back, it’ll be like nothing ever happened…” She forced her fingers between Katara’s thighs, rubbing her through her thin fire-nation clothing. Katara gasped, still unable to lift her arms as she tried to squirm away from the touch. Or was it towards it? Neither girl could tell. “I know… deep down inside, you just want it…” She licked her lips. “You want it so bad… Fingers don’t cut it… I doubt that little water toy you made holds you off…” He smirked. “Didn’t look like the first time you made one…” Her fingers continued to work and Katara began to moan. “Which means you won’t pass out like Azula…”

                She grinned. “You wanted more… you wanted to do more, I saw it in your eyes… You and I are… a little too alike.” Katara swallowed, the fire between her legs being nurtured by the forceful girl before her. It spread up her spine and it was seeping into her brain like a slow working poison. “I’ll be honest… I want you… I promise my tongue will be a million times better than those water things…” She grinned. “Promise or your money back, you just need to do one thing to agree… one teensy thing…” Her fingers worked quicker and Katara gasped, her hips now openly grinding against Ty Lee’s hand.

                “W-what?” She fought off the urge to scream. The poison of lust was corrupting her and it was far beyond the point of return.

                “Beg.” Ty Lee whispered, pulling back from the girl, tapping two spots on her arms to re-enable them. Katara whimpered as her hand withdrew. She wanted to run. She needed to leave. Her lust didn’t care. It sat in the driver’s seat of her mind and it pulled the reins. “Go on.” Ty Lee nodded down to the ground. Katara hoped she really wouldn’t remember. She knelt down before the gymnast, on her hands and knees.

                “P-please…” Ty Lee stretched her neck forward, waiting to hear the rest. “Please have me.” Katara finished, her eyes on the floor.

                “With pleasure.” Ty Lee grabbed the girl by the shoulders and led her to the bed, pushing her back on it. Katara thought her hands were far too swift as her revealing clothes fell from her body, tossed aside. Ty Lee kept the fire-nation choker. With a similar speed, she removed her clothes, dropping them to the floor before at last drinking in Katara’s body.

                Her eyes took in every feature of her tanned skin from her small feet, up her slender, but shapely, long legs, to her knees now pressed together in an absurdly adorable shyness. Her eyes continued up her firm thighs to her dark bush peaking out and up her flat stomach, up her perky breasts with their pink-topped nipples and finally her face. She smirked as she saw Katara’s eyes running up her body as well, stretching to let Katara get a better look, thrusting out her small, but cute breasts before turning around, pushing her butt out a little and giving it a tap, giving the girl a coy look over her shoulder. The water bender bit her lip. “Like the show?” She asked. Katara flushed as the gymnast descended on her, a knee pressing between Katara’s thighs as her lips brushed against the water-tribe girl’s. “I do.”

                Ty Lee finally pressed her mouth against Katara’s again and this time the water bender reciprocated, grabbing the back of her head and parting her lips to the probing tongue. She thought the girl’s tongue tasted sweet. Her other hand pressed against the small of her back as Ty Lee’s hands roamed over Katara’s thighs, moving up to squeeze her breast, cupping it as she began playing with her nipple. Katara moaned into her mouth.

                The water bender’s hand moved down to grab Ty Lee’s firm rear and the girl on top of her pulled back from the kiss, giggling. Katara pulled her hand back, self-conscious. “You ARE just like me…” She grabbed the girl’s hand and placed it back on her ass, squeezing her fingers and effectively squeezing her own behind. “Do you like it?” Katara bit her lip and Ty Lee smirked. “I’ve had guys, but never girls… nice to know you like it too.” She pressed her lips back where they were, her tongue redoubling its efforts as Katara squeezed and massaged Ty Lee’s butt. Every so often she added a spank, which made her squeal into her mouth.

                Ty Lee slid her hand underneath Katara, grabbing the darker haired girl’s rear. “Mmm,” she cooed. “Yours is bigger.” Katara blushed. “I love that.” She massaged it and spanked as well as she could, working her knee up between the girl’s thighs. She moaned when it met her womanhood. “Bingo.” The gymnast grinned. “Enough of that, right?” She slid off the girl a little, moving down just enough to link her leg behind Katara’s, forcing her legs apart as her tongue slid out to flick her nipple. “Time for your first,” she said, her fingers sliding down.

                If she thought her fingers were adept before, now they seemed like tiny gods. Katara moaned and threw her head back, spreading her legs wide as Ty Lee’s slender fingers worked into her. Three slid inside of her, the lubrication more than ample, as her palm rubbed against the girl’s sensitive nub. “Oh my, you’ve been wanting this very badly…” Ty Lee suckled Katara’s nipple. She could only answer in moans and yipping gasps. “Hurry up and come, Katara, so we can start round two.” She knelt down on the bed, her free hand moving to stroke Katara’s clit as her right thrusted fingers in and out rapidly. Katara’s walls began to tighten as her moans grew louder. “Mmhmm, take it nice and easy…” She rubbed her clit a little faster. “Annnd…come.” She pressed her fingers up inside of Katara, touching her very favorite pressure point. The water bender thrashed and screamed, her hips bucking as she came. Ty Lee continued to massage the spot inside of her until her thrashing ceased before pulling her fingers out, smiling.

                “There, that’s better…” She looked down at her fingers and laughed as she tried to pull them apart, Katara’s juices sticking to them and forming a membrane between her fingers as she parted them. “Someone had loads of fun…” She licked them clean as Katara panted. “Don’t tell me you’re down for the count…” She laid next to the girl, lowering her ear to hear her speak. “What was that?”

                “M-more…” She gasped. Ty Lee grinned.

                “Ooh, look how quickly we’ve nurtured an addiction.” She bit her lip. “It’s okay to say it, you know.”

                “I-…” Ty Lee laughed.

                “Ooh, are you actually ready for dirty talk?” She grinned. “Tell me what you want, then…”

                “I…” She took a few deep breaths “Want another…”

                “Another whaaat…”

                “Another…orgasm.” Ty Lee smirked.

                “So you want to…”

                “Come…”

                “The whole thing…” Katara hesitated. “Come now, I’ll happily oblige…”

                “I want to come…” She whispered. Ty Lee bent her chin and kissed her hard, exploring her mouth.

                “I’ll be so sad to see you go now, geez…” She slid her fingertips down the front of Katara’s body, her chest still heaving as she passed it. At last she reached her thighs and she settled between them, on her knees. Katara parted her legs willingly as Ty Lee watched, her sticky juices still clung to her skin. The gymnast licked her hips as she reveled in the womanly scent.

                “You know, I don’t think I’ve ever had water-tribe food before…” Katara had time to look down and realize what was about to happen, but not enough to protest the disgusting act as Ty Lee dove into her meal.

                Her tongue hit the girl’s clit first, making her tremble. Katara wondered if it was just from her post-climax sensitivity or- Ty Lee licked again and she groaned out loud. Her hips bucked forward.

                “Mmm, first time?” The gymnast asked, smirking. “Look at me.” The water bender lifted her head again, repulsed to see Ty Lee’s face between her legs. “Oh, I was grossed out too the first time…” She smiled, giving the girl a long lick from bottom to top. Katara shuddered. “But I watched… and it made it better…” She grinned, digging her tongue into the darker girl and swirling it around. Katara moaned as she watched. “It’s disgusting, isn’t it?” She lapped up the girl’s juices. “This is your most private…” She licked again, slurping obscenely. “Place…” She smirked up at the dark haired girl. “Isn’t it wrong?” Katara was about to speak when Ty Lee’s tongue attacked her clit.

                She felt like she was going to faint as waves of pleasure crashed over her body. She squeezed her own breasts as her hips bucked. Ty Lee went on licking, faster and faster as her fingers filled the water bender again and again. Katara pictured the fire nation girl again, licking away at her most disgusting place. She felt a hard wave of pleasure come again. She had to look. She opened her eyes to see Ty Lee twisting her face back and forth, her tongue working like mad. She met Katara’s gaze and held it as she stopped licking and withdrew her fingers. Katara whimpered, her hips writhing to try and get more of the sensation.

                “No, no…” Ty Lee blew against her clit. “You have to say something…” She grinned.

                “What?! What!” Katara almost screamed.

                “Tell me… no, command me. Tell me what you want me to do and where.” Katara blushed again, wondering how she could still do so. “It’s not that hard… you’ll get whatever you ask for…” The girl was the devil, the water bender thought. She couldn’t help herself, however.

                “Lick me…” She spoke.

                “Where…? What do you want…?”

                “…Lick my clit…”

                “Where’s your clit?” She asked. Katara squeezed her eyes shut hard. She had never said the word, but she had heard it among the soldiers of the water tribe. She knew what Ty Lee wanted.

                “Lick my pussy… God, tongue my clit, please!” She begged. The gymnast smirked and did as she was told. She licked hard and fast, her fingers resuming their work. She left the pressure point for last, wanting Katara to concentrate on her tongue as she licked and swirled, showing a higher level of skill than before.

                It didn’t take long before Katara was thrashing again, her moans echoing through the room as she once more climbed to the peak. Ty Lee felt it and pressed the pressure point once more, sending Katara over as her tongue gained maddening speed. Katara bucked into her face and she welcomed it, her free hand grabbing the girl’s butt.

                It was a full minute and a half before Katara’s body settled against the bed, her panting heavy. Ty Lee smiled and lay next to the girl, an arm around her waist as she began to spoon with her. “That’s better, isn’t it? Later today, you’ll be back with your friends and forget this ever happened…” She stroked Katara’s stomach with her fingertips, drawing small circles over it.

                “Mmm,” she said, mumbling. Ty Lee leaned closer.

                “What was that?”

                “More…” Ty Lee frowned.

                “I’m not sure you can take much more, Katara… you need time to rest and we just don’t have that t-“

                “You…” Katara said. Ty Lee’s eyes went wide and then she smirked.

                “You don’t have to do that… I’ll be fantasizing about this for a long, long time…”

                “I want to taste you…” Katara said, her fingers touching those of the fire nation girl. Ty Lee blushed and swallowed.

                “Isn’t that gross?” She asked, a perfect mixture of pushing her away and drawing her in if she meant it.

                “Very.” Katara said, smirking as she turned to face Ty Lee, pressing the girl onto her back. Ty Lee flushed as Katara pressed her lips against her captor’s. The gymnast wondered painfully if this was the same sort of affection the prisoners of war showed when they had enough, but remembered that none of them showed it in a matter of two hours. The water girl’s tongue explored Ty Lee’s mouth, inexperienced but passionate.

                It roamed and danced with the fire girl’s tongue before pulling back and making a trail of kisses down her neck and between her breasts. Ty Lee moaned as her tongue made its way across her nipples, the other girl’s lips capturing it and squeezing it. She whimpered as she felt the trail of kisses begin anew, working down her taut stomach. She gasped and held her breath as she watched Katara’s mane of black hair descend between her legs.

                Katara knelt down between Ty Lee’s thighs and the fire girl swallowed at the examination. None had taken the time to get acquainted with her before diving in, but here she was on show like another act in the circus. She flushed at the image.

                The water girl was hypnotized by the lack of hair, the perfectly shapen mound. Her scent almost drove Katara mad.

                “Don’t play with your food, Katara…” Ty Lee said. The water girl grinned – was her captor self-conscious? She looked up to see a pair of eyes gazing at her. “Look, I know it’s gross… You don’t have t-HAA-“ She moaned as Katara dove in, gasping mid-sentence. The girl had zero knowledge of how to use her tongue, but she learned fast. Her tongue started by trying to enter the fire girl, but after listening to the weakened moans, she figured it wasn’t the best course. The gymnast tasted salty, Katara mused as she forced her legs open wider, licking upwards and feeling with her tongue for what she knew was there.

                Ty Lee gasped as she snagged it. The water girl grinned and began to swirl her tongue over it, sliding her hands beneath the fire girl to grab and massage her butt. It was true Ty Lee had gotten this treatment before, but it was always by guys who always rushed to the next step and it was never with this much passion. She doubted any guy showed this much passion even when they were at their peak. She whimpered as Katara teased her and moaned again as she dove in.

                She watched the mane of hair move and bit her lip as their eyes connected. “Just like that…” Ty Lee gasped as she found her rhythm. “God, Katara… You look so dirty down there…does it feel dirty?” She bit her lip harder as the girl mumbled in the affirmative. “Lick me, Katara… do you like my taste? It feels like it… God, what would your brother say if he saw his prude sister eating fire nation pussy?” That did it, Katara’s moans joined Ty Lee’s as her tongue worked quadruple-time. It ran this way and that, swirling and doing its best to make Ty Lee finish.

                It did a great job. As she neared the edge, she whimpered. “Yes, yes… God yes, let me come over your pretty water tribe face… God, you muff dive like a champ, Katara, I-… I-…” She grabbed fistfuls of the water girl’s hair, forcing her mouth down. Katara swirled her tongue faster as her head was held in place. Ty Lee began to buck into her mouth, shouting obscenities as she came for what felt like forever. In reality, it was about two minutes until she lessened her grip on Katara’s hair. She didn’t release it fully, but kept one hand there as Katara lapped up her juices, gathering her taste and cleaning her thighs. She remained for a couple of minutes after Ty Lee let her go.

                “You…are fantastic…” She groaned, panting. Katara smirked as she sat next to her captor. “As soon as I can move, I’m going to knock you out and get rid of this memory so you’re just left with a lovely feeling in your loins and a funny taste in your mouth.” She grinned. “It’s a shame you won’t remember what it’s from… I’m going to savor your taste for a long time…”

                “Do I have to…” Katara asked and Ty Lee felt her heart grow cold. “Do I have to forget?”

                “Katara… Listen, you… God, why did you have to bring emotions into our fun?” The water girl could feel her emotions reciprocated in the tone. “Look, you won’t… you won’t be happy about any of this… you have a job to do…”

                “But, I-“

                “You have a job and so do I.” She smiled and tilted her head. “You have to go back… and you have to forget.” Katara nodded, turning her head so her face was obscured. Ty Lee felt her chest pull tight. “Katara…” The water girl didn’t respond. “Katara…” She raised her hands to her face before turning, eyes red. “Come here,” She held out her arms and Katara fell into them. “Listen,” she stroked her hair. “Okay… Okay, you don’t have to forget… you can stay here with me and we can have all of our fun… Don’t give it another thought, sweetheart…” Ty Lee hated herself in that moment. Katara sniffled as she held the other girl close. She forced her voice to be sweet. “That’s it, it’s okay…” she rubbed the other girl’s back in small circles and gritted her teeth as she drew her free hand up, pressing the pressure point to knock Katara out.

                She fell slack in Ty Lee’s arms. She felt her heart breaking as she kissed the tips of her fingers before sending them into the pressure point that hit short-term memory. She swallowed as she began to dress her.

                “Fei, you don’t have to go…” A far younger Ty Lee said. “You can stay here and we can-“

                “I’m done.” He responded. She frowned.

                “What…?”

                “You heard me.”

                “But… but what about…everything you said… you said we’d…”

                “Look, you’re just a circus freak…” he turned and flashed a pitiless grin. “A hot one, but a circus freak regardless… What’s nobility like me going to do with you?” He buttoned his shirt and slipped his pants back up at Ty Lee hung her head, looking away as tears welled in her eyes.

                “You used me…”

                “Word from the wise, circus girl… Use before you get used.” He stood and walked out of the tent, the flap of a door twisting back and forth. The gymnast wept.

                The gymnast wept.

                “I’m no better…” She snarled as pulled on her pants and top, grabbing Katara and hoisting her over her shoulder. “Not at all.”

                Sokka and Aang returned with baskets of supplies, laughing. Katara stirred as she looked up along the path, hoisting herself out of the water.

                “And the bartender says, ‘Why the long face?’” Sokka fell into a fit of high-pitched laughter. Aang smiled.

                “And what did the horse-pig say?” Sokka blinked and looked up at him.

                “You know what, never mind.” He looked up as he saw Katara. “Hey, Katara! Have a nice rest?” The water girl moaned as she began to stand. She guessed she went a little too hard on herself this time. It was a wonder she had her clothes on when the boys returned.

                “Yeah, I feel great,” She smiled. She wondered why she didn’t feel like it.

                “Cool ribbon – where’d you get it?” Aang asked, bending down to see the red ribbon tied around Katara’s wrist. She frowned down at it, shrugging.

                “Found it when I was foraging for some berries,” she lied. She had no idea why it should, but looking at the cloth seemed to ease whatever pains were in her chest.

                “I’ve got an idea, Azula!” Ty Lee grinned.

                “Oh, what is it this time, Ty Lee?” The gymnast held out a thick lock of white fur. Azula’s eyes widened with comprehension.

                “You’re a genius, Ty Lee. We’ll have them by sundown tomorrow.”

                “I sure hope so!” The gymnast smiled. I sure hope so…
