Author's Note: Katara and Sokka finally have a 'heart-to-heart' (as well as a 'blank-to-blank)!
And enter...The Old Mistresses! (although one isn't old)
Earlier, deep inside a Fire Nation prison...
"Who's there?" the old woman yelled. "I've had enough of your swill for one night!" the elderly prisoner, chained to the wall, defiantly barked.
"Wahl, wahl, wahl, lookee here! If'n it ain't muh ol' friend, Hama!" the swampwoman smirked. "Enjoyin' yorseself?"
"Boni Su?" the ancient waterbender yelped. "What are you doing here?"
"Gettin' yew outta this here hoosegow, whut else?" Boni replied. "As fer why, it's 'cause ah need yew!"
"No! I told you, after what they did to me years ago in prison, I could never mouthbend! NEVER!"
"Thaht's alraght, Hama." Boni cackled. "Ah got a new mouthbender. Yore old student...Katara!"
"Katara? I knew that child was gifted, yet I never thought her capable of...But if you have Katara, why do you need me?"
"Ah...don't exactly have her, yet. But yew kin help wit' thaht!"
"Heh! It would be my pleasure! But how will you break me out?"
"Th' same way ah broke in!"
Boni moved aside, and revealed...
"Sita! Boni, you joined up with that Fire Nation witch?"
"Charmed to see you again, as well, Hama!" the Fire National sneered. "Lovely accomodations you have here! Is it true the guards won't even come near you three days a month and send your food in on a badgermole? I'm surprised they don't do that every day!"
"You bitch! I'll show you what I do to badgermoles! Soon as I get out of here, I'll..."
"Now, don't fight, yew two! Hama, ah asked Sita ta join me same as yew...ta help me capture thaht mouthbender, Katara, learn bodybendin', and take over th' wurld!"
"Oh...well, when you put it that way, what are we waiting for?"
Her shackles off, Hama rubbed her sore wrists and walked with Boni and Sita out of the prison.
"Boni, I can't wait to see my old pupil and fellow Southern Water Tribe waterbender again!" Hama said, dreaming of revenge on the girl who put her in jail. "I owe her...so much!"
"Yore gonna havta wait fer yore...reunion, Hama." Boni replied. "There's a couple more folks we need ta gather."
"You mean Ling?"
"Naw. She's dead. We're gonna pick up her daughter, Macmu-Ling. And one other."
"If you say so."
As the trio made their way out of the Fire Nation hellhole, an occasional guard or two (or three) would pop out of nowhere. Sita, with one blow to the head, would put the armed sentry (or sentries) down, throat gurgling and body churning as they collapsed helplessly to the hard prison floor, with both fluids and solids evacuating their insides.
"Heh heh! I can tell we're going to have so much fun!" Hama screeched. "Hmmm (sniff sniff). What's that smell?"
Chapter 6: And Never the Twain Shall Meet
Try everything once except folk dancing and incest - Sir Thomas Beecham
The morning after the 'adventure' at the brothel, in Katara, Sokka & Toph's temporary residence in the Earth Kingdom...
"Hi guys!" a more bubbly than usual Toph Bei Fong called out to her associates, who were sitting at the breakfast table.
And, though Toph didn't know it because she was blind, both Katara and Sokka wore very glum faces.
"Oh. Hi, Toph." Katara flatly responded. "Sleep well?"
"You could say that!" Toph grinned.
"Well, it's too bad everybody didn't!" Sokka railed. "Because Katara just HAD to do her stupid 'bodybending' all night!"
"Oh, will you give it a rest!" Katara snapped. "I said I was sorry!"
"What happened?"
"I was practicing bodybending, tracing the flow of water in the body..."
"Sokka's body?"
"No, no! I was using an animal subject..."
"Look what she did to Hawky!" Sokka blubbered, displaying his messenger hawk.
"Ah...blind?"
"So Hawky lost a few feathers! So what?" Katara debated.
"So what? So what? He lost more than a 'few' feathers!"
Hawky was almost entirely plucked of feathers, his naked skin glistening in the morning light streaming in thru the windows.
"Sheesh! Theyll grow back!" the experimenting waterbender dismissed the complaint.
"Something tells me Sokka isn't that upset about Hawky." Toph deduced. "What really happened?"
"Go ahead. Tell her." Katara relented under the interrogation of her Earth Kingdom friend.
"No."
"Ooh! Was it really juicy?" Toph rubbed her hands in gleeful anticipation. What naughty business had the two South Pole siblings got into this time?
"What? No! It's...embarrassing!"
"Sokka was walking by when I was trying another bodybending move, this time without a subject. Just practicing the moves with my hands and, and my...mouth..."
"Go on..."
"Oh, stop being such a baby and show her, Sokka!"
"How can I 'show' her? She's blind!"
Grabbing Toph's hand nearest her, Katara plunged it under her brother's shirt!
"Eep!" Sokka squeaked at the sudden cold sensation on his skin.
"Wow! Those are hard as a rock!" the master earthbender chortled.
Pulling up Sokka's shirt with her other hand, Toph revealed Sokka's little 'condition'.
"Nipplebending! Nice! You could play the bongos with these!" Toph noted as she playfully plucked the protruding male nipples.
Poing
Boinggg
"Alright! That's enough of that!" Sokka bitched, and pulled down his shirt. "Katara, promise me you'll stop this insane quest to become a 'bodybender'!"
"You know I can't do that, Sokka! It's too important! If only I could figure out how water flows in the body...I know there's blood, and there are other liquids, like mucus and...I need better diagrams!"
"No, you need to end this, before something real bad happens!"
"Like what, mister smartypants? What could be worse than those crazy people capturing me and forcing me to teach them 'mouthbending'?"
"Uh...lots of stuff!"
"Such as?"
"Never mind! You're not old enough!"
"There's one part of the body you already know how the water flows." Toph helpfully offered.
"Which one?" a puzzled Katara inquired.
"The penis!"
"No no no no!" Sokka deep-sixed the idea.
"Ah, I don't think so, Toph! It was okay at first, so I could learn how the whole bodybending thing is done, but not anymore!"
"Why not?"
Katara gave one brief, furtive glance at her disapproving brother, and said "I just can't."
Blind as she was, though, even Toph noticed the errant body movements and skipped heartbeats, the palpable tension in the air.
Meanwhile, outside the home, equally disapproving eyes watched the scene unfold and sighed.
Then the mysterious figure grasped an old scroll, tucked it into his robe, and left.
Sometime before, near the northwest coast of the Earth Kingdom...
"Why is Lan joining our little group?" Sita, the Fire Nation woman with a face only a mother could love, inquired. "It's not like she'd be much use in a fight!"
"Her herbs and potions have their benefits." Boni Su answered. "In fact, ah already used Lan's aphrodesiac ta induce Katara to do down on a man wit' her mouthbendin'. Unfortunately, th' little minx figgered out muh scheme, and tricked me!"
"Sita, maybe Lan's love potion can help you get a man!" Hama, the elderly waterbender from the Southern Water Tribe, gleefully cackled.
"I assure you, I need no man!" Sita acidly replied. "And you're one to talk! Men run away screaming when they see you approach!"
"But they don't run very far...if it's a full moon!" Hama wickedly laughed.
"Girls, I know just what you need..." Lan the Herbalist offered as she handed each of the two battling battleaxes a cup of frothy brew. "Here. It's a soothing balm. Drink up!"
"Mmm. It does settle the mind." Sita said after sipping the brownish liquid.
"And the flavor...Interesting and quite...piquant. I can't recall ever tasting anything like it!" Hama, the former innkeeper, added. "What's in it?"
"Oh, many things!" Lan replied. "Mossroot, snagglegrass, waterwort...but the special ingredient I got out of Miyuki's box!"
"Ptui!" Sita spat out the concoction! "Kitty litter? You made this with kitty litter?"
"Why, yes." Lan calmly answered. "But not just any 'kitty litter'! Miyuki's kitty litter!"
While Hama tried to use her waterbending to draw the vile liquid out of her stomach, Boni Su held back the enraged Sita
"She's so very, very special!" Lan added as she hugged her beloved cat. "Aren't you, baby? Yes, you are!"
That evening, after the GAang's mission to search for and acquire supplies was done for the day...
"I'm tired!" Sokka announced. "I'm going to lay down for a bit. I'll eat later."
"Fine." Katara agreed. "I'll leave something out for you."
"Thanks."
After a quiet dinner, Toph spoke up.
"When are you going to tell him?"
"Tell who what?" Katara flatly responded as she emptied her food scraps into the garbage.
"Sokka. When are you going to tell him how you feel?"
"Feel about what?"
"Katara, you can lie to yourself, but you can't lie to me! I can feel your heart go all woozy when you're near him! And he feels the same way. So just go for it already!"
"Toph, you have quite the imagination!" Katara denied the accusation. "I don't know if it's because you're bored or whatever, but there's no romantic 'love affair' between Sokka and me! If your earthbending is picking up any 'love vibes' between us, it's because we're brother and sister, and that's it!"
"Yeah, and ordinarily that'd make sense. Except, your family's always been kind of different. Sokka said he felt you were like a mother to him ever since you guys lost your mom. So your relationship has never been 'brother and sister', as least as far as I can tell. And when you both found Aang in the ice? You were 'partners' even back then! It's like each of you took the place of your parents. The difference between then and now is that the two of you have grown up. Sokka's been forced to see you for what you are, which is, and I'm guessing here because, Hello! No eyes!, is a beautiful young woman. So he's had to re-evaluate things, just like you have. I may make a lot of jokes about sex, but that's because I've never had the real thing. And, you guys have it. Love. It's special, and you shouldn't cheat yourself out of it."
"What brought this bit of introspection on?"
"Oh, it's just stuff I've been thinking about for a while. There wasn't any special event or anything." Toph said, hoping Katara didn't notice her nervous response as she bent a pebble on the floor.
"Interesting analysis, Toph. There's just one little problem with it."
"What's that?"
"It's totally insane! Maybe you should lay off all the meat and eat some veggies. It'll even out your brain juices!"
"Yeah, go ahead! Blame the messenger!"
Previously, in the great (unwalled) city of Ba Sing Se...
(Unwalled not only because of the victory over the Fire Nation, but most recently due to royal decree of the returned to the throne Earth King, who ordered all the walls inside the city be dismantled. Therefore, the walls separating the lower city from the middle city AND the upper city were taken down, ostensibly to ensure the freedom of the people).
"Hey, lady, wanna date?" the scruffy man propositioned the high society woman.
"You should not be here
in this part of the city,
man with no manners!"
"You think you're too good for me? Is that it?"
"What I think is this:
Begone from my sight, o fool.
Or suffer my wrath!"
"Now you're threatening me? And what is that? Some kind of poetry? You really got a mountain-sized chip on that fancy shoulder, don't ya, lady? 'Bout time someone took you down a peg!" the rough man produced a blade and brandished it in front of the upper class matron.
"You've been duly warned.
Tis too late to take it back.
I'd say watch out but..."
"Watch out for what?" the ruffian laughed, and looked about him.
"For this blow! And this!" she said as she kicked him repeatedly in the balls.
"Urkk!" he gasped, dropped the knife and fell to his knees.
"You're not worthy of my gift.
Words fall on deaf ears."
"Huh?" the confused man uttered as he continued to hold his painful kiwis.
Removing her dainty hands from her robe, the young woman boxed her assailant's ears.
Then she karate-chopped the back of her attacker's neck, and he hit the ground, unconscious.
"Wonderful work, Macmu-Ling!" the woman clapped.
"Who are you, stranger,
That you know my family name,
yet we have not met?"
"Is that 5-7-5 haiku? It is! Ah thought fer a secon' yew miscounted! Ah'm Boni Su! Ah sent yew th' messenger hawk!"
"Boni Su? It's you?
My mother talked of your quest.
I'm in, I say yes."
"Thaht's great, Macmu-Ling! Welcome aboard!"
"Think nothing of it.
Great Ba Sing Se has fallen
since down came the walls."
"Men! If they don't oppress ya one way, they think of another! Th' girls are waitin' outside th' gates. Ah couldn't get alla them through security, on accounta some are wanted felons."
"Whatever their case,
it's preferred to the present
Earth King and Dai Li."
"Uh, yeah. Are you gonna talk lahk thaht alla th' time?"
Later that night, in the home our heroes shared...
"Katara, I'm sorry I said those things earlier. I was totally out of line! Forgive me?" Toph humbly requested.
"You're forgiven, Toph! And I'm sorry for yelling at you. I shouldn't have done that. Friends?"
"Friends forever! And hey, I brought a peace offering!" Toph said, holding up a food bowl.
"What is it?"
"A stew I made with leftovers. I've been trying to learn to cook to be more, um, independent."
"Oh, okay!" Katara tried the dish. "Mmm. That's good! Thanks!"
"What's that?" Sokka, up from his nap and hungry as usual, asked.
"Stew. Toph made it!"
"Really? Wow! Let's see. Hmm mmm. That's delish! A bit spicy, but still, great work, Toph!"
"Thank you!"
"Oh, and good news! A messenger came by and said Aang was coming back tomorrow with Suki!"
"That is good news! No, it's excellent news!"
"Thanks for letting us know, Toph!"
"No prob! Enjoy your meal!"
The stew was especially enjoyable, if a mite too seasoned. Katara nibbled at it, then looked up at Sokka while he also partook of it. She averted her gaze when he glanced at her.
Suddenly feeling flush, Katara excused herself. Sokka grunted an acknowledgement of her departure, then went back to stuffing his face with Toph's stew.
Katara's whole body seemed to be on fire, but she didn't feel sick. Regardless, she decided to lie down on the couch until the feeling went away.
It wasn't long before Toph burst into the room.
"Katara, you're not going to believe this!" the earthbender erupted. "The messenger got the day wrong! Aang's not coming back tomorrow, he's coming back today! In fact, he's upstairs right now!"
"That's wonderful!" the lovely Water Tribe lass replied. "But, why is he upstairs?"
"He said he came in the second floor window to 'surprise you', but when he told me that, I may have said something I shouldn't have."
"What? What did you tell him, Toph?" the very anxious teen tribal girl demanded.
"Ah, just that you have an even bigger surprise for him!"
"Oh."
"Katara, you were going to have to tell him what happened to you and Sokka sooner or later! This is your chance!"
"Gee, Toph, I'm not sure. I was hoping to ease into that conversation somewhere down the line, when we were both ready for it."
"By which you mean, never!" the blind girl bitched. Then she paused, and moderated her tone. "Katara, I acted like your surprise is a happy one, and Aang was real eager to hear it! So you don't have to say anything. Just, you know, do your bodybending thing! That'll tell him all he needs to know!"
"I don't know, Toph! Aang's a special guy, and he might freak."
"He'll love it!" Toph insisted, then dragged the waterbender upstairs.
"Aang's in there!" the blind earthbender whispered, pointing to the closet.
"Ah, why is he in the bedroom closet? And why are we whispering?"
"Well, I may have hinted to Aang that your surprise was...kind of special, and you needed privacy."
"Toph!"
"This makes it easy! You don't even have to confront him! Just do your thing!"
"Go for it!" Toph happily commanded, and pushed the not quite experienced, yet not quite virginal, girl toward the closed closet door. Then she exited the room, shutting the door behind her.
Katara's insides were boiling now but, strangely enough, not in a bad way.
Her every feeling was in conflict!
She wanted to see Aang again, but like this?
She wanted to tell him everything, but how could she?
And she wanted...really, really wanted...to do it...again.
It was all she could think about!
Maybe Toph was right, she told herself.
Maybe this was the best way...to tell him...how she felt.
Katara moved her hands in the way she remembered seeing on the ancient bodybending scroll. It surprised her how remarkably easy it was to 'lock on' to the fluids in Aang's groin as he waited in the closet. The gasp she heard told her she was on the right track. Now came the hard part...to coax that liquid out of his body!
The master waterbender parted her lips and opened wide her mouth. She imagined Aang's cock filling her throat, and suddenly, it was as if it was really in there! (Although the image was of her brother's dick, and not Aang's, as that was the only frame of reference she had).
Katara moved her hungry mouth back and forth over the length of the phantom penis, drawing blood into it until the unit was erect. It was a lot easier to 'do the deed' this time, Katara noted, and even...enjoyable. She briefly felt a pang of familial guilt, before dismissing it and continuing her long distance lovemaking.
Soon, the motions of the muscles in the dickbender's hands, tongue and throat connected Katara to the chi in that part of Aang's body, which was also known as the water chakra.
The 'remote control' mouthbender felt Aang's chi energy rise higher and higher until it exploded, launching the semen out of his seminal vesicles and through the canals in his shaft until it spewed out the tip of his cock!
Said explosion was also accompanied by an exclamation of "Oh! Yes! Suki!"
Mortified, and fearing the worst, Katara gingerly opened the closet...
...and saw her brother, Sokka, blindfolded, his steadily diminishing dick sticking out of his pants, trailing a line of cum!
"Oh no!"
"Huh? the bleary-eyed Sourthern Water Tribesman muttered as he tore off the blindfold. "Katara? What are you doing here? Where'd Suki go?"
After a brief, very very very apologetic explanation from his sister...
"I'll kill her!" Sokka raged. "Toph has to learn she can't treat people this way! It's not funny! Making me think Suki was...happy...to see me, and stuff. It's not right!"
"Sokka...Don't be mad. In her own weird way, Toph thought she was helping us."
"What are you talking about? How does tricking us like this count as 'help'? And how could you...do that?"
"I'm sorry! I don't know what came over me! You must think I'm a terrible person!"
"Katara, I don't think that! At all! You just have to learn you can't go around doing some things sight unseen! I mean, sexual behavior has certain...boundaries to be respected and..." Sokka bent over the bowl of food Toph gave them. "...Hmmm (Sniff)...This stew...It kind of smells like..."
"Oh no! Is it sea prunes?"
"(Sniff)...Yes. Definitely sea prunes! So that explains your actions...And why I was so eager to believe Toph's story about Suki's, um, surprise for me. Ahem. Not to mention all the unnecessary spice! She wanted to disguise the flavor! But why would Toph give us food laced with an aphrodesiac?"
"I think I know why." Katara confessed. "Toph thinks there's...something between us."
"She does? But that's crazy!"
"Is it, Sokka? Sometimes I wonder...Why was it so easy for the Dai Li to hypnotize us into thinking our relationships with Aang and Suki were over...unless there was another love, deep inside us, just waiting to fill the void?"
"It's called 'brainwashing' for a reason, Katara!"
"Really? Then why were we able to resist it? Think about it, Sokka...It was your love for me, and mine for you...that enabled us to break free from Sangok's scenario."
"That doesn't prove anything! Katara, you don't know what you're saying! You're, you're probably still gooped up on those prunes!"
"And what if I was? What if 'those prunes' helped me see things clearly for the first time?"
"You can't be serious! I'm your brother! You're my sister! Anything else is, it's insane!"
"I know that! My head tells me that! But then my heart...it says something much different."
"Katara...Don't say something that can't be unsaid."
"My heart says...Why was I so hesitant to accept Aang's love? I traveled with him constantly! I was right there with him, by his side, day after day! Yet, I didn't see the way he felt about me! Why? Unless...someone else was already in my heart..."
"Katara, please! Don't do this!"
"My heart also tells me about you...My big brother, Sokka, out of the South Pole for the first time ever...throwing yourself at the first girl you meet, Suki, then later at Yue...As if you were trying to...forget someone...Someone you had been with...all your life?"
"Katara, I wasn't...throwing myself at just anyone...I did love Suki and Yue. Okay, how much I loved them is debatable, since I had just met them! Oh, what am I saying?" he feebly defended himself, and facepalmed his head in frustration. Then he spoke once more to his beloved sister. Spoke from the heart. "You are wrong about one thing...I could never forget you." he trembled.
"Then it's true?"
"I...I do love you, you know that...but..."
"Is it the way a brother loves his sister? Or is it more than that?"
"I don't know...But you've been my life for so long, I can't...imagine being apart from you."
"Oh, Sokka!" Katara cried, and fell into his arms. "What are we going to do? What are we going to tell the others?"
Stepping back from his lovelorn sibling, Sokka looked her directly in the eye and said "We tell them nothing. We'll do what we've always done! Our duty to, to our family, and not bring any shame on it! I'll always love you, Katara, and I'll always be there for you. But we can't be...anything more. You know that's true, don't you?"
"I know (sniff)...I know you're right, Sokka. But..."
Katara started sobbing uncontrollably, and blubbered about messing up her relationship with Aang, and Sokka's love for Suki, until the teen boy couldn't take it anymore!
"Katara, stop crying! It'll be okay!"
She looked up at him with pleading eyes and, to comfort her...
...Sokka bent over and kissed his sister on the lips!
It was a soulful kiss, full of longing and love, previously unrequited, yet now quite real indeed.
And then...
SLAPPP
"Ow!" Sokka yelped. "What was that for?"
"Bastard!" Katara spat. "How, how dare you kiss me like that...when you know it can't ever lead to anything?"
"I'm sorry, Katara, but you were hurting, and I didn't know what else to do!"
"Look at us!" Katara uttered as she sat down on the bed. "What a pair we make! Has there ever been any two people more screwed up?"
"It'll get better, Katara." Sokka said, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "As soon as Aang and Suki get back. You'll see!"
"Yeah, sure. Until they find out what we did!"
"Errr..." For once, Sokka was speechless.
"I'm going to bed. We have a lot to do tomorrow. Relief supplies and all that!"
"Right. The supplies."
"And don't worry! I won't practice anymore bodybending! Good night, Sokka!" she declared as she exited the bedroom.
"Okay. Thanks, Katara. G'night!"
Then the turbulent teen collapsed on the bed with a "Whew!"
Meanwhile, in an oasis on the edge of the Si Wong desert...
"Why are we in this desert hellhole, instead of the Canyon?" the ever-peeved Sita moaned.
"Because our target's not on th' coast. Katara's much further south, and this here is a shortcut!" Boni Su explained.
"These nice sandbenders will lend poor, unfortunate ladies like us a few sandsailers, won't you, boys?" Lan the Herbalist sweetly asked.
"Ptui!" one of the masked desert denizens disparagingly spat. "Get lost, grandma!"
"I'll take care of them!" Sita boldly declared.
"No. Let Lan handle it." Boni suggested.
"Well! That's not very nice, is it? You boys need a lesson in manners!" Lan stated.
"Yeah? Who's going to teach us? You?" he and his friends laughed.
"Yes. Here. This is for you. And you. And you." the herbalist said as she handed out free drinks to the surprised sand tribesmen. "I'm sorry. I can't very well ask for something from you without giving you anything in return, now, can I?"
"That's more like it!" the leader of the sandmen declared as he emptied the cup down his dry throat. "Hmmm. What is this? Tastes a bit like mango, but also..."
"Yes, there's mango in it. Among other things. It was designed to rapidly re-hydrate those Earth Kingdom soldiers who were captured and dehydrated by the Fire Nation." Lan replied with a smile. "However, since you three are already used to low amounts of water, I imagine it has quite a bit...different...effect on you." Lan's smile wickedly curled the corners of her mouth.
"What did you...do to us?" the sandbender gasped as he grasped his head in pain and fell to the ground alongside his similarly afflicted comrades.
"Water intoxication."
"You...you crazy..." the desert dweller choked, then vomited. He and his sick friends suffered muscle weakness, cramps, nausea and drowsiness as they writhed in pain on the desert floor.
"Yes. I know. Heh heh." Lan chortled. "You'll want to drink this diuretic before the swelling bursts your brain. I'll put it right here." she said as she placed it just out of reach of the struggling sons of the desert sands.
"You'll never...make it out of the desert...alive." the ailing leader of the sandbenders threatened the women who laid low him and his fellows.
"Why? 'Cause it's th' Si Wong, or deadly, desert, and we're not sandbenders?" Boni Su coolly inquired. "Hama?"
With a wave of her hand, the expert waterbender from the South Pole drew all of the water from the oasis and deposited it into their leather knapsacks. Then, to further impress upon their would-be tormentors just who they were dealing with, Hama bent all of the water out of the desert cacti and plants growing in the oasis, destroying them in the process.
After the Old Mistresses (and Macmu-Ling) loaded their supplies on their newly-acquired sandsailers, Sita drank the cactus water and icily declared "Now this is more like it! I think I'll enjoy spending time with you ladies! But Hama, I think you forgot something."
"What? Ah." Hama then bent the diuretic from the cup and let it fall on the desert sands in front of the moaning and groaning sandmen.
"No. No..." the leader croaked as he slowly, and painfully, crawled towards the spilled, life-saving liquids.
"Ah'd lick thaht up right quick before it disappears inta th' ground and somethin' awful happens! Bye, boys!" Boni Su cackled as she and her grinning girlgang raced away on the stolen sandsailers.
Next:
The villains are finally all together and ready to pounce on our heroes!
As Theoden said in 'The Two Towers', "What can men do against such reckless hate?"
You'll find out! It's not the ending you expect, that's for sure!
Also:
Aang and Suki are back!
But what will they do when they learn of Katara, Sokka and Toph's extra-special 'adventure'?
Heck, what will Sokka and Katara do?
Ooh, you have to read what happens! It's good!
Notes
Mouthbending isn't just drawing the semen out of the body, through the penis; that wouldn't cause an orgasm. It's about affecting the body, making the blood flow into the penis and also stimulating the nerves that cause orgasm (just as water healing stimulates the body to heal itself faster). That's why mouthbending leads to 'bodybending' (dickbending), affecting the body (or, in this case, the dick) from a distance. And since bodybending is not tied to the moon, like bloodbending, it's far more powerful.
Ty Lee tried a form of rudimentary 'mindbending' when she hit Sokka in the head during "The Chase", but he's so hard-headed it didn't work.
'Lan' means orchid in Chinese, so it's a good name for the Herbalist, who uses an indoor garden to make her medicines. (The Herbalist wasn't given a name in the series.)
Lan the Herbalist is well versed in botany, horticulture, and medicine.
The two sandsailers used regular sails powered by the wind. And if the wind died down, Boni used a special engine she picked up in her travels to power a giant fan (like an airboat). The engine was fueled by Lan's herbal concoctions. Hama used a steam engine she got from Boni to power the fan on her sandsailboat (Hama can make her own steam, obviously).
