"Come on Kya, just do it."

"I don't know Izumi."

"Look sis, you're the one who wanted to play truth or dare. So suck it up and kiss her."

Kya glared at her brother, not appreciating his words of encouragement. "But she's talking to Tenzin, and it looks like he's actually going to ask her out this time. I don't want to ruin it for him."

"He's boring her."

Bumi, Izumi and Kya looked at Su, then to where Lin and Tenzin were talking. "She doesn't look bored."

"That's because you're not earthbenders. She's sending pulses through the earth. She does it subconsciously. Just go and kiss her. It will probably be the only action she gets for the next five years."

"You know, for a twelve year old, you can be really mean."

"It's the truth. So go over there and lay one on my sister."

Letting out a sigh, Kya stood up and walked over to where Tenzin was telling Lin a story about some guru.

"And then he told his students to be patient and that they too, would notice the grass gr-" Tenzin stopped talking as he watched his older sister turn Lin around and kiss her, leaving him speechless.

Lin's eyes were left wide open as she felt Kya's tongue enter her own mouth, searching for something that the young earthbender didn't have. She relaxed into the kiss and finally allowed her eyes to close, silently enjoying the kiss. The contact was quickly broken by Kya, causing Lin to stand there with a flushed face.

"Lin, I-"

"Whoop! That's how you do a dare!"

Lin looked to Bumi and then back to Kya, hurt finding itself on her face. "A dare? Oh. Excuse me."

They watched as Lin practically ran to the docks, jumping onto a ferry that was about to leave.

"What did you do to her Kya? Too much tongue?"

"Shut up Bumi! Tenzin, I am so sor-"

"Save it Kya. I'm going to go meditate, I hope you're proud of yourselves."

Kya watched as her little brother walked off. Completely annoyed with herself, the waterbender stormed off towards her bedroom.

It was late at night when Toph Beifong arrived home from work. Kicking off her boots and shedding her armour at the front door, she made her way into the lounge room to sense Lin sitting on the couch with her elbows on her knees and head in her hands, deep in thought.

"Don't think too hard, you might hurt yourself."

"Hmm? What?"

"I said- never mind. Shouldn't you be in bed?"

"I can't sleep." The young metalbender let out a groan and threw her hands up in exasperation. "Why is romance so difficult?!"

"You do know who you're asking right?" When Toph didn't get the usual sarcastic remark in reply like she usually did, she knew it was bad. "Tenzin isn't a good kisser, is he?"

"It's not Tenzin."

"Bumi?"

"No."

"I've run out of boys badgermole, help me out here."

Lin debated with herself on whether or not she should tell her mother, but she was desperate for help so she threw caution to the wind. "It's Kya." Lin's face turned into a frown when her mother burst out into laughter. "It's not funny."

"Wait, you're serious? Huh, my daughter is into girls. Was not expecting that one. At least now I don't have to give you the talk."

"Mum, I'm eighteen I already know about sex."

"Uh-huh. So what happened?"

"Kya kissed me today in front of everyone. It felt really nice and great, but when she pulled away, Bumi said 'that's how you do a dare.' Kya didn't kiss me because she wanted to, she kissed me because she was dared to. And now I feel really hurt and used."

A soft smile graced Toph's features. She punched her daughter in the arm before pulling her in for a sidewards hug. "How do you know she didn't want to kiss you? For all you know, she likes you too. I suggest you actually talk to her. Casually. Don't go in there demanding answers because that will get you nowhere."

"Okay. I guess it's the right thing to do. Thanks mum."

"No problem. Now get to bed."

"Yes Chief."

Lin sat at the dinner table of Air Temple Island, waiting for dinner to be served when she felt something poke her in the thigh. Looking to her left, she saw Kya wearing a soft, caring smile as she leaned in close to whisper in her ear. "Come with me."

Taking the earthbender's hand in her own, Kya lead them out to the cliff overlooking the ocean. She took a seat at the base of a tree and patted the spot next to her, indicating she wanted Lin to sit next to her. "Lin, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for what happened yesterday, I didn't want our first kiss to be like that."

Lin looked up in surprise at the last part. She was expecting Kya to take back everything that happened and to regret everything that transpired yesterday. Not this. "Wait what?"

"I guess I should start from the beginning. I have been writing to Izumi for the past year about how I have a crush on you and she was always telling me that I should 'go for it.' But I was too worried you wouldn't return my feelings. Izumi thought I was being an idiot so she teamed up with Bumi and your sister in what was supposed to be a friendly game of truth and dare. Next thing I knew, I was kissing you, and you were kissing me back."

"Huh, I guess I should thank the princess."

"Later." Kya swung her leg over Lin's legs and leaned down to kiss her. Lin didn't know what was happening, one minute she was looking at the sea and the next she was staring in to blue eyes that mirrored the large body of water and had a beautiful waterbender straddling her, making the heat rise in her body. She let out a moan in pleasure when she felt Kya's tongue push itself into her mouth. Lin rolled them over so that they were now lying on the grass.

The young earthbender suddenly pulled away with a gasp when she felt hands travel under her shirt. "Sorry, I know they're a bit cold."

"No no. I was just, uh, surprised. I wasn't expecting it."

"I can stop if you want me to."

Lin shook her head in amusement before resuming their kissing session. She let out another gasp as Kya fingered the waistband of her pants. Just as she was about to lean into the touch, a strong arm wrapped around her waist and pulled her away from the pleasure with a snap of her waistband being released by Kya's hands.

"I said casual badgermole. That was definitely not casual."

"Mum?" Lin looked up at her mother to see a frown on her face. Turning her gaze to Kya, she found her standing before her own parents, staring at her feet in embarrassment.

"Kya, you're mother and I expected better from you. That is no way to treat a lady, even at twenty-one"

"Sorry dad."

"Go back inside while we have a word with Toph."

The young metal and waterbender knew they were spared their lives, so they waisted no time in running back to the house. "No way to treat a lady? He knows I'm a Beifong, right?"

"He's old fashioned. Just keep running and don't look back."

They entered the house huffing and puffing from the short run, stupid grins on their faces. "From this day on, there is no looking back." She shot Kya a knowing smile before taking their seats at the table.

"Nice to know you two idiots finally figured everything out. You're welcome by the way."

"Shut it Izumi."
