+Cliff Diving+

"I do not do water," Azula says. "And I do not trust it enough to jump into it."

She stands on the edge of a cliff with her new wife. Ty Lee has obeyed her well for the past two days of their impulse trip across a lake and into an oddly liberating honeymoon. Now Ty Lee wants her to try a game they played on Kyoshi Island.

It seems just dumb enough to please the brainless water peasants. Azula expects no less of the hicks.

"But it's so fun," Ty Lee begs, clutching Azula's hands. She squeezes them, and, were she not so sexy and so married-to-her, Azula would burn her fingers until they were bright red with blood. "Please, please, please."

"It sounds dangerous," Azula purrs. Ty Lee squints through the sunlight at her true love.

"Yeah. It is dangerous but-but-but breathing is dangerous." Ty Lee bats her eyelashes and Azula notes that she seems to glisten in the sun ever since they got married. "We're jumping into a new life."

"That is the world's most heavy-handed symbolism I have ever heard," Azula states. "Maybe I will jump. Maybe you should just make it worth my while."

Ty Lee kisses her. "Oh, I will. It'll be really fun once we swim to land. Then we can have another honeymoon adventure! Yay! This is so much better than the one I planned!"

She jumps up and down a few times before getting a running start. Ty Lee leaps off of a cliff like an idiot. Azula stands and looks down as she hits the water with a splash.

"Are you alive?" Azula calls down.

"Yes!" Ty Lee cheers. "Thank you for caring, princess!"

"Oh, I was not caring. I just was testing the safety of this venture," Azula says. She takes a deep breath, runs, and leaps into the ice cold water.

It hits her like a ton of bricks. She opens her eyes and gazes up at the way the sun hits the water, penetrating as far into its depths as it can manage. It makes the world sparkle and glitter and swirl like a swinging chandelier at a blue midnight.

Azula collects herself and claws her way up to the surface.

She barely has time to catch her breath before Ty Lee's lips vivaciously collide with hers.
