Spoilers for Secret of the Fire Nation, though not much and more of the shippy kind.
-A Parable-
I couldn't do it. There we were, standing in what should have been romantic moonlight under any other circumstances, and all I could think of nothing but Yue.
I knew I was acting stupid, because even though everyone thinks I am, I'm not stupid at all. I knew it wasn't fair to Suki to get jealous when she mentioned another guy – okay, even if the other guy was me -- and then not kiss her without thinking of another girl.
I sat for hours on the edge, looking out over the lake. Water – that was me, I guessed, because I was Water Tribe even if I couldn't do fancy magic stuff like my sister. And the Moon, that was Yue, would always be Yue no matter how far away from the North Pole I was. I, Water, stared up at the moon, unable to touch her, unable to get anywhere near her. I watched the waves crash against the cliff, and smiled: the pass, Earth, Suki. Earth is strong, dependable, and safe unlike bridges of ice and girls who turned into fish. And Water below touched Earth below and the moon looked down, mostly impassive but I hoped maybe approving.
