It was by no means a fluffy romance. That sort of thing would make Mai retch even on a good day. She had no desire for the lame "fairy tale" love that starry-eyed girls always dreamed of, and noble mothers told bed time stories about out of a gold-encrusted book. The minute Mai heard these tales—the stories of liars and blasphemers—she wanted them to never enter her conscience again.
Ty Lee didn't care of course.
"You and Zuko are going to have the most adorable little children!" she gushed, much to Mai's annoyance. "They'll throw little fiery knives, and be all awkward and lanky for a while, and have the prettiest hair and just…aaaaah!"
Ty Lee giggled. Mai scowled.
"I'm not sure that's even a possibility," Mai said. "It's inevitable that I won't like having a squirming bundle of trouble stowed away inside of me only to burst out and cause an undesirable amount of pain."
Ty Lee merely accused Mai of waking up on the wrong side of the bed, and Mai didn't disagree.
"You know what would be even cuter though?"
Mai paused, highly skeptical that she would want to hear what would be even cuter.
Ty Lee told her anyway.
"Twins!"
