COMBINATION

"You want the person in your head, not the person she really is," says Suki, squeezing Ty Lee's shoulder.

Ty Lee gently shrugs her off. She meets Suki's gaze and then looks at her feet.

"I want a combination of both. Why can't I have both?" Ty Lee asks, her lip trembling. She stiffens it and takes a deep breath. "I love her, no matter what. I love her and I see the person in my head in her, like, it's both. She's both, I mean."

Suki looks skeptical, which makes Ty Lee want to run away. The acrobat stays, however, because she needs a friend, even a friend who disagrees with her about the most important thing in her life.

"Please don't go back to the Fire Nation. You dated other people while she was gone, and you were happy. She's just an obsession and to her I think you're just an infatuation… or a game." Suki gives Ty Lee a pleading glance.

Ty Lee ignores her and walks away.
