2. Kiss "At the time, I was too surprised to enjoy it," she later confessed, but with a devilish grin added, "But things have changed since then!" (Katara)
3. Soft "Don't worry," she said to the fluffy mess of fur she was leaning against, "I'm sure Aang will be back soon." (Katara.Appa)

7. Chocolate He watched with amusement as she took a tentative bite of the sweet and responded with a surprised "Oh!" (Soko)
8. Happiness The Bei Fong patriarch didn't recognize the young woman who claimed to be his daughter—perhaps because when something funny happened, she laughed. (Toph)
9. Telephone "Aang, you'll never believe this rumor they have bout you," Sokka exclaimed, his face red with laughter. (Sokka.Aang)
10. Ears Zuko made a disgusted noise when the girls pointedly waited for him to face left before they began their gossip—despite appearance, both ears heard just fine.
11. Name The servants in the palace never understood why sometimes Lady Song called her husband "Lee." (Soko)
12. Sensual Sokka tried (and failed) to ignore how Suki's hips swayed as she walked. (George)
13. Death There are a great many things worse than death, Ursa thought when she saw her son all those years later.
14. Sex Sokka understood the need for more Airbenders—he just tried to ignore when Aang led his sister to their room with that look on his face. (Kataang)
15. Touch She could sense him standing next to her for quite some time, but she was still surprised when his hand brushed against her cheek. (Toph)

19. Wind The air still felt the same, even if it was one hundred years later. (Aang)
20. Freedom It wasn't until the palace walls closed in around him again that he realized what a blessing his exile had been. (Zuko)

23. Hands She shivered unexpectedly when their hands touched: there hadn't been that bolt of electricity when she compared hands with her brother (Kataang)

26. Forever Sometimes Katara forgot that she had once had a life without Aang in it.
27. Blood The smell of burn flesh didn't bother him anymore; it was the sight of blood that nauseated Zuko.
28. Sickness "I have never been sick a day in my life," she insisted, while a trail of mucus ran from her nose. (Toph)
29. MelodyWinter, Spring...Summer and Fall...Zuko cursed his uncle for making him learn the sungi horn part to that infernal song.
30. Star He knew all the constellations and their stories, but they hadn't mattered until he had her to tell them to. (Soko)
31. Home Sometimes Zuko forgot what his room used to look like.
32. Confusion No matter how she looked at it, she could decipher no message in the soggy mush of tealeaves in the bottom of her cup; obviously the Universe had no secrets to reveal unto her at this time. (Aunt Wu)
33. Bonds She picked them because their abilities complemented hers, and because for the first time in her life, she liked being with people. (Azula)
34. Fear He remembered the nights that the boys stayed up late telling scary stories until the older monks made them stop because Jinju was getting too scared. (Aang)
35. Market The merchants didn't proclaim their wares as loud as usual on the days that the pirates came to town.
36. Lighting/Thunder If she didn't expect for him to accept her lightning blast, she was really surprised when he unleashed it back on her ten-fold. (Azula.Zuko)

40. Innocence Mai held her baby brother disdainfully, doubting that she had ever been as bouncy or giggly as he was.

43. Sky The Boulder had never bothered to look up before.
44. Heaven "She was the best thing to ever happen to me," Iroh confessed about his late wife.
45. Hell "Those are days I prefer not to think about," he answered shortly. (Iroh)
46. Sun They would stand next to each other for hours, staring into the sun, mostly because it didn't hurt either of them. (Toph.Zuko)
47. Moon Aang hadn't expected to see her in the Spirit World...or to have her ask how Sokka was doing. (Yue)
48. Waves Sometimes when they flew low enough, they could see the arms of the people waving frantically at them, hailing the sight of the Avatar's bison.
