Headcanon:Kya would feel left out with Linzin and Honumi
"Honora! Give me back my drink right now or I'll throw a rock at your head!" Lin yelled at one of her best friends while vainly attempting to grasp her cup from the firebender's hand.
"I'll just burn it up Beifong. Come on you almost got it!" Honora joked with Lin as they rolled around on the floor together. The cup now forgotten in a nearby spot as the life long friends laughed so hard their sides ached.
"What's so funny you two?" Kya asked smiling, returning to the living room after going to the kitchen to get more snacks for the trio.
"Nothing really. Lin thinking she's stronger than I am." Honora answered whilst waving a hand at the earthbender. "We might want to get her brain checked out." the firebender added on in a whisper. Kya and Honora's hysterical laughter earned them both a slap on the arm from the youngest of the three.
"This is so nice. I can't remember the last time all three of us have just hung out together like this. I've really missed you two." Kya said with a smile as they ate the snacks that the waterbender had gotten before.
"Aw we missed you too Sugar Princess." Lin said with a laugh as Kya glared at her.
"Now what to do..." Honora said, trailing off.
"Radio?" Kya suggested.
"Sure. Oh! I think they're playing another episode of that show about the robbery at the tea shop." Lin said excitedly, sitting up right.
Kya got the radio playing and the three girls sat and listened to it. Lin and Honora were captivated by the episode but Kya couldn't help but sit back and smile at them. It had been so long since she had seen her two best friends; duties and responsibilities always seemed to make it impossible for the trio to get together like they always did. Kya was also thankful that her brothers weren't home tonight. She loved them both but she didn't need them stealing her friends, who also happened to be their girlfriends, away from her on this rare opportunity. Kya let out a content sigh as she remembered that Tenzin was away with their father and Bumi was spending the night with Uncle Sokka.
And as if on unfortunate cue, the door flew open.
"Stupid wind. Ruining everything. Can't you fix it T?" Bumi said as he and Tenzin walked into the house, closing the door behind them.
"I can't manipulate weather. And even if I could, it's way too strong out there to even try." Tenzin answered and Bumi shrugged. Kya looked back at her friends and saw their smiling faces and began to sputter out some reasons why her brothers couldn't stay with them.
Spotting their girlfriends on either side of their sister, the two boys made their way to sit down next to them, completely ignoring Kya all together. Kya sat back and pouted, arms folded across her chest. She had spent all week looking forward to tonight and in a matter of seconds it was completely ruined. She sighed when she remembered that this wasn't the first time this had happened. Deciding that she wasn't going to let tonight go down the drain without a fight she tried talking to her girls.
"Lin, why don't we..." Kya said to her right but only found the earthbender being pulled into Tenzin's lap, giggling softly as she playfully slapped his arm before leaning into him as he kissed her cheek.
"Honora, let's go get..." Kya tried her left side but only found the princess leaning into Bumi's side as he put an arm around her shoulders, laughing when he ruffled her long black hair before placing a kiss to the top of her head.
Kya looked down at the floor and let out an exasperated sigh. Taking one of the sweets she had brought in earlier, she popped it into her mouth as she tried to think of ways to get her trio back together. When she picked her head up, she found both couples in the midst of heated kissing sessions. Her face screwed up as if she had eaten something sour, she hastily got off the floor and made her way to the kitchen and found her mother making tea.
"Hey mom. You making tea?" Kya asked, going to stand by her mother
"Yes, it's getting late and it's a little cold so I thought some hot tea would be nice. What are you doing in here sweetie? Aren't you hanging out with Lin and Honora?" Katara asked.
"Lin and Honora yes. Tenzin and Bumi's girlfriends? No." Kya said angrily.
"I take it your brothers infiltrated your little get together huh?" Katara asked, offering her daughter a cup of tea and a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"In mere seconds they completely shut me out. This always happens and frankly, I'm getting sick of it. I mean, they were my friends before they were their girlfriends." Kya said a little childishly after taking a sip of tea.
"Now Kya you know that's not fair." Katara scolded her daughter with piercing eyes.
"I know, I'm just annoyed. I don't even know how to talk to them about this. I don't want them to think that I'm being whiny or anything, I just want my friends back." Kya said and Katara nodded.
"You need to get both of them together and talk to them about this. They're nice girls, they'll understand. You three are practically sisters, you'll work it out. Don't worry sweetheart." Katara said, rubbing comforting circles on Kya's back.
Katara noticed Kya's gaze wandering to the doorway to the living room.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine. Good night my little waterbender." Katara said softly with a kiss to Kya's cheek.
Offering her a sweet smile and her own 'good night' as she retreated from the kitchen, Kya went to the doorway to face the same sight she had left moments ago. Remembering her mother's words she wandered back into the kitchen. Drinking more tea, she sat and played out various scenarios in which she told her friends the problem and she ended up alone, much like she was now, friendless with only the company of a cup of tea. She knew she had to do something about this, sitting there with her fingers curled around her cup she tried to come up with an idea about how to fix this as one thought kept running through her mind,
"I hope you're right Mom. I really hope you're right."
