I think you know what song to listen to from the title in parentaces. Listen to the original version sang in the Cinderella movie. Start the song when Kara says "Oh".
Gyatso and Kara: Prodigies of an Avatar
Chapter 15- A Long Time Ago (A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes)
"Kuzon, are you sure that Mama said that you and TWS could go in Grandpa's favorite canoe?" Kara sat in front of her little brother pretzel -crossed on an iceberg with the girls. Just an hour ago, the girls had found Kuzon and TWS in Hakoda's canoe about a mile and a half away from the iceberg in the open sea. Kara had to air-bend the current towards them so that they could come back. She and the girls had been trying to see why he would do such a thing.
"Uh-huh," Kuzon said throwing huge grey eyes at her. The original trick to get out of something, of course made by their father. Even as an adult, Aang could get out of things with them. Kara remembered one time when the family was in the Earth Kingdom. Aang stayed late with Toph and Sokka to gamble, when Katara specifically said to stay with Teo to help him with babysitting all of the kids (Katara had to do some late errands). All Aang had to do was give the "sorry, I love you, and will never do it again" card and give Katara those eye, and he was off the hook. Occasionally, when Katara was in a very angry mood (giving the kids hot mint and strawberry- apple tea, which had the same effect as caffeine on children) wouldn't cut it. But Kara was no Katara.
"Don't give me those innocent eyes, little man, I've done that trick more than you have, and I face my consequences and tell the truth." Kara heard her tone getting a little motherly, and hushed it a bit. "So what, or why rather, did you do that?" Kuzon shrugged innocently and stroked TWS' fur.
Topaz walked up to him and looked him square in the eye when Kara sighed in despair. Her next move surprised everyone. "Listen up, you pre-puberty stricken toddler, why did you sneak off. If you don't answer I will totally return TWS and tell your Mother so as well." She had a scary shine in her green eyes that her mother gave whenever giving a threat.
"Topaz how could you say that to him!" Kara jumped at her friend. "He's just four ye-" "I wanted to find him." Kuzon said his voice trembling a bit. Kuzon inherited hate to argue just as his parents did. "Find who, Ku?" Kuzon stroked TWS' fir again. "I wanted to find my big brother."
Those last words hit Kara hard. She understood exactly why he wanted to. Living without Gyatso those five years were the hardest of Kara's life yet. He was basically her rock. So one would know that leaving him would be a hard task. Perhaps the hardest part of that would be when she entered school. Of course Kara was used to meeting new people at school, being the avatar's daughter meant transferring schools almost every month. But staying at a certain place for a long time was a whole different area. She learned that if you stayed somewhere too long you become best friends with someone and worst enemies with someone else. Gyatso would usually get her out of an enemy's way, but since he wasn't there she had to give a tough face, or get someone else to stick up for her. Since, Kara was always a soft hearted person, so Topaz usually did the standing up for her.
"Oh," Kara picked her little brother up. "That's what you wanted to do. Well, you do know that to find our big brother you must know everything about him, right?" "I guess so. Will you tell me?" Kuzon rested his head on her shoulder, and TWS licked her cheek softly as she started to walk to her own canoe to go back to the main land. Topaz and Kyoshi could only follow in chagrin. "Kara," Kuzon yawned smacking his lips softly. "Will you tell me after my nappy time?" "Of course, Kuzon."
After Nappy Time
Kuzon lay in Kara's bed side ways listening curiously to his elder sister. "Gyatso looks like me! Really ?" Kara nodded quickly as if she was a little child just as he was. " Yep, if you both look like Papa, of course you do! And Gyatso is the very same age as me, exactly- give a few minuets. But, I know Mama has already told you everything that I have. Though there is one thing that she might have left out." "What?" He said as softly as a pillow. An unlikely tone for a boy as hyper as he was. "He loves you very, very much!" Kara touched his nose with her index finger. "But he hasn't seen me at all." "So, doesn't Mama always say that everybody loves everybody without even knowing it. Plus, since we're all brothers and sister, we automatically love each other extra! That means that there is a special place in his heart just for you, and he doesn't even know it." Kara looked back at herself after that line. She realized that she has always felt that there was someone else that she loved who she didn't see in the flesh besides God himself. She had stopped being jealous of people with little siblings after a month in the South Pole ( as she usually did). Right then she smiled at her brother a smile that she hadn't smiled in a long time. A smile of true happiness that was not triggered by her nerves as teachers told her, but one that she owed God, Gyatso, Kuzon, and all of her family.
This chapter is one of my favorites because it shows how close a relationship that Kara has with her brothers.
I know my chapter title was weird but it was what I was feeling.
I actually got this song by accident. I listened to Reflection ( Mulan) and I won't say I'm in Love ( Hercules) because I was bored and clicked on A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart makes and it made memories of my toddler day come rolling back. This chapter was originally supposed to be about Kara persuading Katara to let her try to find Gyatso, but turned into a soft chapter.
Listening to the somg made me think about my early childhood days, and I am really in the mood to watch it. You should too.
God Bless,
