A/N: This story is very different than the rest of them. It's complete crack (mostly because one half of the couple is dead.) These ladies are both minor characters, but I couldn't resist a chance for the mothers to have the limelight. By the way, Kya is the mother of Sokka and Katara. It's her POV.

We Never Met
KyaxUrsa
I am dead now, but perhaps it's for the best. I can see you now and know that we would have been great friends. We would have been more than great friends. If only we had met when we were younger, when we were both beautiful. Before our husbands, the men we both loved in very different ways.
I see that you hide in the deep forests of the Earth Kingdom. You are alone, and no longer call yourself Ursa. This is a terrible shame. Your name was always so unique and filled with fire and strength. If we had met, you would say that mine was a name like a freshwater stream on a sunny day. You would stroke my hair and I would admire your golden eyes until it was dark in our safe place.
But we never met.
Instead, you found a handsome fiend and I found a good-hearted replacement. In some ways I am glad that I never met your husband, the Fire Lord. I would have killed him for his sins against such a perfect creature. You bore children that could wear your lovely face. Or, at least, a son that could wear half of it. Your daughter resembled the monster more.
I can watch my own children now, and you cannot watch yours. You hear tidbits of information, mostly negative, when you travel through towns. This pains you, but at least you know they are alive. If I were there with you, things would be different. I would hold you closely and wipe away the frowns that taint your face. We would love each other so deeply that there could be nothing else to fear. We could save our children together.
But we never met, we never spoke, we never kissed, we never loved each other.
And every day I wish we had.
