POUTING

"I wanna go to Azula's house," whined Ty Lee, pouting on her doorstep.

"You're staying home and that's final," her mother scolded, crossing her arms to show that she was dead serious.

"I. Want. To. Go. To. Azula's. House!" Ty Lee wailed, and her pouting intensified.

"Why is it so important to you?" demanded her mother. "You need to be with family right now. Why would you rather be with her?"

"Because one day she'll be my family!" Ty Lee exclaimed, glowering up at her mother.

"What's that supposed to mean?" her mother asked.

"I wanna marry her one day," whispered Ty Lee, tugging on her own braid. Her heart jumps and flutters when her mother looks down at her, bewildered.

"Well, I don't think you will be marrying her this afternoon, so get inside of the house," her mother stated, and Ty Lee gave a small smile.

She wanted to keep expressing her anger about being denied her request to visit her crush, but she supposed she would have an eternity with Princess Azula.
