"...And that's how we're finally going to get into Ba Sing Se," Azula finished her explanation with a flourish. The three girls – Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee – were gazing at the giant drill as the workmen put the finishing touches on. "What do you think?"

"Well, it should work," said Mai, a very vague hint of approval in her mostly expressionless voice. "It doesn't seem to have any weak points," she added, glancing at the diagrams again.

"That's right!" crowed Azula triumphantly, her royal demeanor slipping for a moment as teenage exitement shone through. "Any earthbenders they throw at us won't stand a chance! Man, I'm good!"

"It wasn't technically your idea," Mai pointed out dryly.

Azula smacked her on the back of the head none-too-lightly. "Shut up! Did I ask your opinion?"

"...Yes." Mai absently fixed her hair.

Azula ignored her and turned to her pink-clad friend. "What do you think, Ty Lee? You've been awfully quiet."

"That usually means something bad," Mai muttered. Azula silently agreed.

"Hmm," said Ty Lee.

"Well?" prompted the Fire Princess impatiently.

"Hmm," said Ty Lee again, stroking an invisible beard.

"What? What?" Azula was getting increasingly agitated. "Do you see something wrong? Is there some sort of flaw?"

"What? Oh!" Ty Lee seemed to snap out of her trance and waved her hands in front of her. "No, no! It's just that, well..."

"What?" Both the girls were curious now.

"Well, anyone else think it looks like a big-"

"Ty Lee!"


A/N: Haha. Sorry, couldn't resist.

I actually didn't notice, myself, until some people pointed it out on some message boards, and I'm like, "Hey, yeah..." And then I just had to write this. XD
