Thanks for the suggestions everyone, but there are still some ideas whirling around in my head that have to come out before I explode. Sorry, I'm selfish that way. For now, it's time to spend some quality time with my favorite face stealer, as I have started to in my newest (only) sustained plot series, "We'll Meet Again." See if you can spot where the confession is in this little story. Koh is cool. Don't water him.

Dora the Explorer: Watch out! Samtana the mediocre fan fiction writer is trying to swipe Avatar! Everyone, say, "Samtana, no swiping!" Samtana, no swiping! Samtana, no swiping! Samtana, no swiping! Great job, amigos! Samtana still doesn't own Avatar!

Samtana: Dora, what the hell?!

Koh's Confession

"Welcome back, my friend," said Koh, his legs clicking against the cave's floor.

"Hello again," replied Aang, still as could be.

"I suppose you would like to ask for my help with something again. What other purpose could bring a face like yours to me?"

"Yes, in fact, I would like your help," said Aang. "I wonder if there is a different kind of bending that could be used to resolve conflicts within a person's mind. I would like to learn such an art, if at all possible."

"A bending to resolve conflicts within a person's mind," said Koh, more to himself than to Aang. He sounded unsure of himself as he circled round and round. "Oh, yes," he said at last, as if remembering something. "Confusion bending."

"Confusion bending?"

"Yes, confusion bending," repeated Koh. "You can manipulate the confusion inside another person's mind. It is an ancient and rare form of bending, even more unheard of than spirit bending, but it can be learned."

Aang tried not to get excited. This could cure Katara of her inexplicable coldness towards him! "Where can I learn this power?"

"Right here, in fact," said Koh deeply, creeping around the boy. "The power is within yourself. You simply have to concentrate on the emotions deep within you. Give into them. Allow them to spread through you and resolve the confusions within yourself. Let the energy of this resolution flow throughout your body, through your mind, and into your face."

Aang snapped out of his reverie with a start, the panic of realization setting in. "Hey, there's no such thing as confusion bending, is there?" He demanded hotly. "You're trying to trick me!"

"Gotcha," grinned Koh, zipping in.

--------------------------------------

Koh: And then, get this, I told him what he wanted to learn was "confusion bending." Confusion bending! I mean, what in the world is confusion bending? What a gullible Avatar! Poor guy would do anything to get this girl to like him, you know what I mean?

Dora the Explorer: [stares emotionlessly]

Koh: [gloomily] No one ever laughs at my stories.

Dora the Explorer: All for good reason, Koh. For good reason.

P.S. I also don't own Dora, but I don't mind so much about that one.
