Okay, this has been what, a few months since I've posted? Sorry, writer's block. Enjoy it. P.S tell me what you think of Onji.

Onji's POV

That STUPID, IRRITATING little JERK of a cousin had stolen MY potential boyfriend! The NERVE! I paced angrily around my room. Ariana was obviously employing charm to get him…Roku. The name just gave me butterflies. And his beautiful face was oh so perfect. I couldn't leave him to my cousin. I had to think of a way to repel Roku from Ariana…and hopefully, it would work. Hopefully, I would end up with Roku myself. Hopefully.

"MO-M! Ihavetogotothebeachok?"

"Fine, honey! Be back soon."

I made sure not to make much noise as I walked down the paths that all led to the beach. I growled to myself as my hot pink kimono caught on a bush. I shook the earth underneath, and freed myself. I stormed down to a point behind Ariana. I promptly put on my happy-naïve-oh-so-sweet-cousin face.

""Hi Cuz', how are you?" I asked in a honeyed voice,

"Onji," She said slowly, "what a distinct PLEASURE to see you."

"Likewise, I'm sure."

"So?" I asked, referring to Roku "What's the story?"

"Huh?" Ariana asked. She was an idiot. What did Roku see in her? What did she have that I didn't? I tsked, and said reprovingly,

"If you want a secret relationship Ariana, you really should learn to keep it more 'secret'. Everyone on the island, well, every kid, and half the adults, knows about you and Roku! Spill, what's going on girl?"

"I-I-I guess that we're just friends." She stammered

"Save the lies and theatrics for the movies, Ariana." I said, her voice icy.

"FINE!! We met after my dad's party, and we just kept talking satisfied?"

"I'm appeased."

I hid a smile. It was excellent that she didn't seem to like me right now for some reason, it would keep my conscience from keeping up with me.

We strolled along the beach, and since I could tell Ariana was zoned out, I said in a matter-of-fact tone,

"I think that Roku likes me. I mean, he was staring at me the whole time at the party. Aren't you happy for me?"

"Mm-hmm. Sure."

Now it was time for the real test.

"Haru had his eyes on you."

Her head snapped up.

"What?"

"YAY, you're actually listening! Look, the thing you have going with Roku isn't going to last. He's too distant. He dreams too often. Haru's better, funnier." I encouraged her.

"Listen Onji," Ariana growled, "leave my love life out of the conversation. Remember the last time you were Dr. Romance?"

FLASHBACK

A ten year old Ariana shifted uncomfortably at Iroh's Tea Place on the island. Her collar itched from the pink kimono dress that Onji made her wear, and the makeup on her face was KILLING her! Across from her, a blonde WaterBender examined his nails.

"So…anything interesting happen lately?" He asked.

"No, you?"

"No. This is boring, goodbye girl." He stood up, and left Ariana with the bill. Typically, he had ordered two expensive cookies and a green tea for himself, and insisted on ordering a cinnamon roll and a cup of green tea for Ariana, insisting that he'd pay. The total had come to ten dollars. She barely had enough.

Later-

"Look, I didn't know that he tricked girls on the first date!"

"Shut up Onji."

END OF FLASHBACK

"Oh…well, he asked if I knew of any girls."

"And that makes it alright!"

"Mhm."

I rubbed my temples. Well, I needed serious help.

LATER

"Haru." I grabbed the black haired Earthbender by his elbow.

"I need your help."

"Why, what's wrong?" His brow crinkled in worry

"Look, I know you like Ariana."

His jaw dropped to the ground, and he sweatdropped.

"Uh, yes…what does this have anything to do with…?"

"Well, Ariana's temporarily caught with Roku. If we can separate them, you can have Arie, and I can take Roku."

He smiled.

"What's the plan?"

"Listen…"

ARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARAR

I peeked around the tree I was hiding behind. There was Ariana and Roku, just about to pass each other. Perfect. I sighed sadly. I hated doing this so much. A smirk plastered itself on my face. However, I could do it when I wanted to, or needed to.

I made my cousin trip. Using the water inside a branch, she fell, and pushed Roku over, impossibly staying on her feet, looking like she had pushed him over on purpose.

"What was that for?!" He snapped, standing up, and brushing his clothes free of dirt.

Next, I made the tree behind Roku subtly 'push' him forward. Something broke his fall. Poor Ariana. She was caked in mud.

"Look who's talking!" She screeched, and pushed him back, this time of her own accord.

I smiled. Ariana was sweet, but she was easy to provoke sometimes.

"What is wrong with you? I pushed you on accident!" Roku yelled

"Oh sure, right into a mud puddle!" She screeched.

"Shut up!"

"You're telling ME to shut up? Shut up yourself!"

"Go back to your ocean water twit!"

"Go find a cave rock boy!"

"At least I don't have a traitor for a father!"

Silence rung. My mouth dropped open. No way did he just say that. That was…much more than below the belt. That was brutal.

"Goodbye Roku." Ariana said coldly, and turned on her heel.

"Ariana! Wait, WAIT! I'm sorry!"

"Sorry doesn't change what you said. Is that all you see in me. A spoiled little fire traitor girl that doesn't give two coppers about others? Well, wake up Roku. If you think you can say that to my face or behind my back and get away with it, you're wrong. Consider yourself not my friend anymore."

"But Ariana!" He yelled hopelessly.

"As I said before, goodbye Roku."

I smiled behind my tree.

Well, it was a bit harsher than expected, but it worked didn't it?

Well? Review now please!
