I've got reviews already! Awesomeness!
In this set, I noticed I like to revisit past episodes a lot. And I really love Toph and Sokka's points of view on Kataang. You know those two would act annoyed that they're all lovey-dovey in public, but secretly love them for it.
021. Tea
Iroh watched the small girl carefully as she perked her ears in the direction of the balcony. A wide grin slowly spread over her face. Iroh silently sat in the chair beside her.
"Well, did they?" he whispered quietly, not wanting the others to overhear.
"Yep," Toph quipped happily. "And Sugar Queen started it herself, unbelievably. About time, too. Every time he pretty much looked at her she went all hot and blushy. The train ride was hilarious; Aang probably thought she had a high fever."
"To the new pair then." Iroh smiled and gently clinked his teacup against Toph's. "The Avatar Aang and Master Katara."
"To the Blushing Couple," Toph agreed, returning the toast.
022. Wise
"Dear, what is the real reason you've come?"
Katara looked at her feet, trying to hide her embarrassment. "We were nearby, and, well, I—I, um—"
Aunt Wu silently begged her to spit it out already.
Katara sighed in defeat, eyes firmly planted on the ground.
"Aunt Wu, is he really…is he really going to ask me to marry him? Not that I wouldn't want—"
The old woman began to laugh, holding the side of the wall for support. The look on Katara's face turned from embarrassment to confusion, and slight disappointment. Aunt Wu saw this and straightened up, holding her shoulders reassuringly.
"The Avatar would be a fool not to." She smiled and winked. "And the fates tell me you won't be waiting too long."
Katara blushed and gave way to a smile, reaching one hand to absently scratch the back of her bare neck.
023. Flowers
Aang found that whenever she wore them in her hair, they left their scent in the dark locks. Well, at least that was his excuse whenever Katara asked him why he leaning over her head and smiling dreamily.
024. Paper
Forgetting the paper walls, she starting singing the first thing that came to her head. Of course, she didn't know all the lyrics, so in between choruses she made things up. And when she couldn't think of anything, she just hummed.
"Two lovers, mm mmm mm mmm, a war divides their people…"
The responding "Secret tunnel, secret tunnel…" from the next room brought up the fact about the walls, along with the realization (and resulting humiliation) that she was completely off-key.
In fact, the walls were so thin, Aang must've heard her blush, as she could tell by his responding laugh.
It sounded musical.
025. For Keeps
"So…" Chief Hakoda said slowly. "I hear you are serious with my daughter."
Aang swallowed. "Y-Yes, sir."
"I must ask you of your intentions. How far you want to take things." His eyes narrowed at the young man. "I hope you're not intending to…lead her on."
Aang's eyes widened. "No! No, of course not, sir, I—I—" He lowered his voice. "I fully intend to keep her."
To his shock, Hakoda laughed and clapped him on the shoulder. "That's good, then." He gave him a warm smile. "I fully intend to let you."
026. Fight
As the shouts from the house rose in volume, Toph turned to Sokka.
"What's your bet?"
"Huh?"
"Your bet." This time she jerked her head in the direction of the source of the yelling for an explanation. "Who you think will break down first."
Sokka leaned back with his hands behind his head. "Toph, nothing makes me happier than putting money at risk, but this is one bet I've lost too many times." He rolled his eyes. "Aang may be a pushover, but Katara ends up cracking and starting the lip-lock every time."
The shouting suddenly stopped altogether and Toph pulled her feet off the ground with a grunt. "Got that right."
027. Sun
She found his body next to hers warmed her more than any light of day ever could.
028. Gone
He wasn't there, and therefore she wasn't, fully, either.
029. Wish
"Look!" she pointed to the dark sky above them, just as a single streak of light zoomed through. "Make a wish," she said smiling.
Aang hugged her closer. "Why? You are everything I could ever want."
030. Moon
Far below, she saw the boy, weak and tired. The current reincarnation of the Avatar Spirit, very close to drowning yet again.
But you can't give up. He must not give up. The world needs him.
And she needs him more.
Yue fuels the Avatar with power under her full beams, giving him the strength to go on. And when she is sure he will be safe, she goes to guide his family back to him.
In her life, Yue was forced to give up and leave everything she loved, just as the young Avatar. But by all the power of the Spirit World, she would go and die again if his love had to suffer as hers did. As long as Yue ruled the night, Aang would always be brought back to Katara.
