That morning, Kya hopped out of bed, bright and early. She threw on her clothes, pulled up her hair, and sped out of the room, down the hall. Without thinking, she barged into her parents' room to find them kissing.
"Oogies!" Kya squealed, slamming the door shut. She shivered, pressing herself against the wall. Hopefully, Mommy and Daddy would stop soon so Mommy could start training her. After all, she was the best water bender in the world. How bad could her daughter be? All she needed was a little more practice, and she would be a master!
"Honey? You can come in now." Mommy said, opening the door for Kya.
"No more Oogies?" Kya asked.
"No more Oogies." Mommy sighed.
"You know, Kya, just because Uncle Sokka and your brother get grossed out by Mommy and Daddy being in love, doesn't mean you have to be." Daddy smiled from the bed. He was putting on his shoes on the edge.
"I know, Daddy. It's just gross!" Kya put out her tongue.
"One day, you'll understand." Mommy laughed, placing her hand on her daughter's head.
"Can we start waterbending now? I woke up extra early just so we could!"
"Well, waterbending is stronger at night, so I was thinking that maybe we could wait till later in the day…" Mommy started. Kya began to pout, eyes enlarging. "…But since you seem to eager, how 'bout we start in ten minutes!"
Kya's face changed to a bright smile. "Yay!"
"Let's start with something basic, shall we?" Katara smiled. "I know that you can already do this, but I thought it would be good to start at the very beginning."
Mommy, Daddy, Kya, and Tenzin were all on the beach. Daddy and Tenzin were playing with sand on the beach; Daddy bending sand castles as Tenzin clapped loudly. Mommy and Kya were standing by the water.
"Just push and pull like this." Mommy threw her wrists back and forth in a curved motion, the water following suit.
"This was the first move your mother taught me!" Daddy yelled.
"Shh! Kya needs to concentrate." Mommy yelled back. But Kya was already doing the move, waves flowing almost as perfectly as her mother's. Mommy's eyes widened. "That's great! You're a natural!"
Kya grinned widely, bending the water so it peaked in high waves, following her wrist movements.
"Okay. You've pretty much got that down. Now let's move on to streaming the water."
Kya nodded, widening her stance like her mother's. Katara pulled a stream of water out of the ocean, letting it flow into the air, curling as it did. She pulled it towards her, twisting it around her body and into different shapes and forms. Kya's eyes lit up.
"Ooo! I want to try!" Kya breathed deeply, closing her eyes. She picked up the water as her mother, forming it into a bubble that she floated slowly back to her. She then lengthed the bubble as it reached her, widening her stance as she did so. She lifted the long strand above herself, pushing with all her might. It floated above her until she couldn't hold it anymore, letting it drop to her feet in a splash.
"Good job, Kya! We have to work on your strength with the water, but besides that; you're amazing! We can start on more moves the more experienced as you become. Soon, you'll be a master! You're very talented as is, so it won't take long."
Kya felt her face lifting. She was overjoyed, bouncing up and down. She ran over to her father.
"Did you hear that, Daddy! Mommy said I'll be a master! And it won't take long!"
Aang smiled brightly, fluffing his daughter's hair. "That's wonderful."
