Yue's room, Episode 18; The Waterbending Master
Conversation Two – Yue and Katara, Boys
Katara pulled a brush through the princess' hair. Not too long ago, in fact just yesterday, Katara had declared them friends. Today, she had stomped angrily around, until Yue had found her. Now, the waterbender brushed the princess' white hair in front of a vanity. It was as soft as her own, and yet the color was so different. Katara didn't dare ask why. Instead, she admired it. Yue had so much hair, when it was down it flowed down to the ground.
"Katara..."
"Hm?" The brunette had a pair of needles sitting between her lips, and a proper answer to the princess couldn't come out.
"What did your brother mean by the fact that he was kind of a prince where he came from?"
Katara set the brush down, took the needles out of her mouth and placed them on the vanity. "Being the fact that your father is chief, making you a princess, then in terms of that, Sokka and I would also be royalty."
"I don't understand."
"My father is the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe."
Yue appeared to be processing this. "Oh... Then why aren't you a princess?"
Katara shrugged. "Besides that point, you like my brother."
"W-why would you say that?"
"Because it's true." Katara declared, before going back to pulling the brush through her friend's hair.
"I suppose… Okay, you're right." Yue was bright red. She placed her hands on the vanity. She decided on something and turned to look at Katara. As she opened her mouth, she shut it. The engagement that swung from the Waterbender's neck caused her throat to contract. "Maybe you'll understand?"
"Understand what?" Once again, Katara sat down the brush.
"You are engaged, are you not?" Yue pointed at the other girl's necklace. Katara clutched at it, before smiling.
"No, this is just the only thing I have of my mother."
"Oh."
"But what, exactly, were you thinking I would understand?"
Yue buried her face in the cold vanity. She felt tears slip down her cheeks before she pulled her head back up and looked at Katara. "I like Sokka, I really do. Just… I'm engaged to someone else."
"I see." The dark-haired girl nodded. "If you like Sokka more, then what's the problem?"
"I have to do the right thing for my people, Katara." Yue let her face fall so she was looking at the ground. Katara made an 'o' with her mouth. "Oh, but maybe you don't-"
"I understand, Yue." Katara took her hand. "But give Sokka a little chance. He's really a great guy. Even if he's my stupid, older brother, I know for a fact that you are the first girl he's really ever loved."
"Really?"
"Yes. Now, I need some help of my own. In different matters, of course." She smiled as she began styling the Princess' hair.
"What?"
"How to get you outside and impress your people! They look up to you, but they need to see you."
Yue laughed, but agreed.
AN: Believe it or not, I support almost every Sokka ship out there. Except incest. I don't like incest. That was random. Anyway, please review. I still can't get over my missing Kyoshi Warriors.
