The curtains reopened to show a fountain in Ba Sing Se, with an older girl, looking very much like Katara (Actor Kaveri) with an older boy with dark hair that touched his shoulders and grey eyes. However, from his forehead a blue arrow peeked out (Actor Tenzin). The two were arguing by the fountain.
"I still say water is the best element!" Actor Kaveri protested, but Actor Tenzin chuckled. "No, it's air!"
"Water!" Actor Kaveri said, as from the fountain she 'bent' water to smack Actor Tenzin in the face.
"Air!" Actor Tenzin said, as a wind pushed Actor Kaveri down on her back.
"Water!" "Air!" "Water!" "Air!"

Actor Tenzin (trying to cover up):

Actor Tenzin:

Actor Kaveri:

Actor Tenzin:

Actor Kaveri (scornful):

Actor Tenzin (trying to cover up):
Any note you can hold, I can hold longer
Actor Kaveri:
I can hold any note longer than you
Actor Tenzin:

Actor Kaveri;

"Where DO you keep all that air?" Actor Tenzin asked, and Actor Kaveri just huffed in reply.

Well, I can't bend air.
Actor Tenzin:

The audience clapped as the curtains closed with their bending battle.
