Hot And Cold
Hot
It was a beautiful day outside, the heat simmering on the pathway as by-passing villagers walked, going on with their business. Azula and Ty Lee flung towels over their foreheads, wiping the sweat off, then throwing the towels in the yard, disregarding them. Ty Lee flashed a smile at her friend, embracing the hot summer air. Azula rolled her eyes at Ty Lee's perkiness, and tucked her hair into a sloppy bun.
"Where's Mai?" Ty Lee asked, perking up so she was eye to eye with Azula.
Azula rolled her shoulders back in uncertainty. "I don't know."
The acrobat's face suddenly lit up, a wide smile spreading across her face. "Well, if Mai's not here...then - "
The firebending princess cut her off, her golden slits of eyes widening. "What are you thinking, Ty Lee?"
Ty Lee giggled. "Nothing, I just thought - "
"What?!"
"We could go swimming, since Mai doesn't like to do anything fun," Ty Lee concluded, then turned a thoughtful eye on her friend. "What'd you think I say?"
Azula blushed in embarrassment, looking down. "Um, nothing...just that you would suggest something unreasonable, like...uh..getting undressed because it's so hot out?" she lied.
"Come on, Azula!" Ty Lee chuckled. "It's not that hot."
"It is too that hot."
