Item: Turkeyduck (for Thanksgiving)

Pairing: Kyalin

Prompt by Yolo1882

Kya was in her parent's kitchen, helping her mother prepare thanksgiving dinner, when she felt strong arms wrap around her waist and a nose nuzzle her neck. "What's cooking good looking?"

"Veggies." The waterbender turned around in her girlfriend's arms and gave her a quick kiss hello. "How was work?"

"Boring. There's no one on the streets because they are all inside eating."

"Better than them tearing up the streets."

Katara cleared her throat, prompting the two women to break apart. "Lin, if you're not too busy, perhaps you can prepare the turkeyduck for us. I would have Sokka do it but he hasn't arrived yet."

"Sure thing aunt Katara." Lin made her way to the icebox, only to find it empty. "Where is it?"

"Outside dear."

"Outside?"

Kya took off her apron and began to push Lin towards the door. "I'll give you a hand."

"So, did you really come out here to give me a hand, or do you have something else in mind?" Lin had a playful smile on her face as she pulled her girlfriend close, only to fall apart with a yell when a bird flew between them. "What the fuck is that?!"

"The turkeyduck. I kinda thought that was obvious."

"Why is it still alive?!"

"Because mum and dad believe that if you want to eat meat, you should know what it feels like to end its life. Why do you think we had to stay inside as kids?"

"Because I thought our parents were discussing important topics." Lin soon found her hands occupied by an axe. "You have got to be kidding me."

"I'm serious."

Lin frowned and tried to give the axe back to her girlfriend. "Then you do it. You're a meat eater too."

"But I'm a healer, I'm not meant to cause pain."

"Pfft, can it. Last week you swatted a butterfly. A butterfly."

"Fine. But I can go one day without meat. Do you really want to tell Toph, Suyin, Sokka and Bumi that there will be no meat? After all, mum did give you the task."

Knowing she was bet, Lin used her earthbending to hold the turkeyduck still by the neck, while she raised the axe. "Sorry little guy." The axe came down on the bird's neck, but what they didn't plan on happening, was the bird to flutter around headless, with blood shooting from its mortal wound. "Oh spirits!"

"Make it stop!"

"I don't know how!"

Before they could say any more, the bird finally died at their feet.

"I guess that's how."

"Lin, Kya, are you not going to have any turkeyduck?"

"Umm, maybe later aunt Katara, I accidentally filled up on vegetables."

"Me too mum. I think Lin and I will go sleep this off."

The two women waisted no time in removing themselves from the dining table and hurried to Kya's room. "Spirits, Kya I swear I can still feel the blood on me."

"I know. I can't get the images out of my head. The way it waved its wings, ugh, I think I need a shower."

"Me too."

They gave each other a knowing smirk before running off to the bathroom to wash the feeling of death from their souls.
