Act II

Inside the Western Air Temple. It is now twilight. Katara is cooking dinner as Toph sits nearby, taking in the warmth of the fire.

Toph: You know…

Katara rolls her eyes in response.

Toph: …You really need to take it down a couple of notches when you and Sparky are together.

Katara drops the spoon in the bowl, then bends it out of the bowl, wiping it down on her apron.

Katara: (blushing) I have no idea what you’re talking about. What are you talking about?

Toph: I honestly have to explain? Your guys’ heartbeats go wild whenever you guys are together. I’ve seen a lot of heartbeats and they way yours beats tells me that there’s more to your feelings than just “I hate you cause you once tried to kill Aang.” Plus you’re always following him around-

Katara: I don’t follow him!

Toph: It’s crazy! Plus you’re always coming up with something to say to him, even if it’s just your “I’m here to protect Aang because you’re a meanie firebender” line. Really, I would’ve thought all that tension would have killed you by now, Sugar Queen.

Katara: Stop calling me that!

Toph: (ignoring Katara’s comment) I think you two are a pretty good match for one another. I mean, you’re practically the mommy and daddy of our little family anyways. And you act like completely different people when you’re around one another.

Katara turns her back to the other girl, stirring the soup fiercely. Drops fly out from the sides of the bowl.

Katara: (muttering) You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Toph: I like that side of you better anyways. The one he brings out- you’re all angry, but not stuck up like when we first met. It’s like he brings out some kind of fire in you.

Katara slaps the spoon down on the cooking mat. Toph looks calmly in the mats direction then up at Katara as she rises and storms off.

Toph: (calling after Katara) Hey, does that mean the soup’s ready?

Toph scoots over to where Katara was sitting, and fumbles around on the mat until she finds the spoon Katara was using. She tastes the soup. The camera pans in toward her gray eyes, and her expression appears devious.

Toph: Yep, looks like its ready….

The rest of the group files into the kitchen, lead by Sokka. Aang and Zuko enter shortly after them. They begin to get seated. Sokka looks around and sees Toph sitting near the bowl of soup.

Sokka: Hey Toph, where’s Katara?

Toph: She stepped out to get some fresh air. Care to help pass out the chow?

Sokka: Sure! (he grabs some smaller bowls from beside the larger soup dish) The sooner we get finished setting up, the sooner we can eat!

The bowls begin to be passed out, the youngest being served first. Aang looks over at Sokka after receiving his bowl.

Aang: Wait Sokka! Shouldn’t we get Katara before we start eating?

Toph: (giggles) You’re right, Twinkletoes. Hey Sparky, you should go get her.

Sokka and Zuko are the only two who appear to understand the tone of her voice, as Haru is helping The Duke and Teo eat, and Aang looks confused. Sokka and Zuko both raise an eyebrow, while Sokka looks more upset and Zuko looks suspicious.

Zuko: What kind of trouble are you trying to get me into?

Toph: No trouble, I just figured you guys needed to talk after your little encounter on the staircase earlier.

Zuko’s eyes widen, and the scene flashes back to his grabbing Katara’s wrist, and their exchanged words, and the look in her eyes as she pulled away from him.

Sokka: (to Toph) What are you talking about? (To Zuko) What encounter?

Zuko: We got into an argument… again.

Sokka seems appeased, though his eyebrows are still raised at Zuko. He looks back at Toph, who gives him a Cheshire-grin. Zuko rises slowly.

Zuko: I’ll just check near the fountain. She usually goes there.

Zuko leaves, ducking outside the doorway. Toph looks after him, and busts into laughter. The others look at her in confusion.

Toph: Hopefully this’ll finally be resolved.

She looks satisfied as starts eating her soup. Sokka gapes at her, eyebrows raised.

Sokka: What did you just do?

Toph: Just playing Peacemaker. Sugar Queen’s been a little lax lately, so I thought I’d help push their little tryst along, to help ease the… tension.

Haru spits out his soup, and Sokka jumps up, presumably to rush after Zuko. The younger kids look confused.

Aang: What’s a tryst?

Sokka: (whirls animatedly toward Haru) Oh look! Your soup has been spilled! Let me get you some more!

He flings some into Haru’s bowl, and rushes around toward Aang. He slings some down into the bowl, sending it splashing onto the younger boy.

Sokka: More for you!

Toph: (giggling again) A tryst is like a candy… a sweet, sweet candy. Right, Suki?

The other girl turns beet red as Sokka grabs the soup bowl.

The Duke: Sounds cool. Can we have a tryst later?

Sokka: More soup for everybody!

Scene changes to Katara sitting beside the fountain out in the courtyard, the same place she watched Zuko and Aang practice earlier. Her expression is downcast. The scene flashes back to her various conversations with Zuko earlier in the series.

Zuko: (from The Waterbending Scroll) I can restore something you've lost...

Katara: (to Zuko in The Chase): I can help!

Zuko: (from The Crossroads of Destiny) I have changed!

Katara: (whispering) I hate you.

The scene flashes back to Zuko’s hands brushing her neck, then her hand touching Zuko’s scar, and the look in his eyes as she tells him that she could heal him. Cut back to Katara in the present, as she puts a hand to her chest, feeling the rapid heartbeat. She curls up on the fountain, gritting her teeth.

Katara: (crying) Why can’t I hate you?

The camera pans away from Katara’s crying to focus on Zuko, who has just entered the scene. He notices Katara’s weeping, and stops, unsure of whether to go to her or leave her in solitude. After a moment, he sighs, having made his decision, and walks toward her slowly.

Zuko: Hey, it’s me.

Katara’s head snaps up as he nears her, and she looks almost afraid, her eyes wide and watery.

Katara: What are you doing here? Go away!

Zuko: Toph and the others wanted me to come get you, for dinner.

Katara: I’m not hungry.

She stands, brushing herself off before wiping at her face.

Katara: Leave me alone.

Zuko: Please wait. We need to talk-

Katara: I’m not interested in talking. I’m not interested in you, or your honor, or your stupid claims to have reformed!

Zuko: Look, I know after what happened, you can’t trust me. I wouldn’t trust me either. (he looks down, searching for words) Just give me a chance to explain!

Katara: (scoffs) A chance? You want me to give you a chance? I did give you a chance!

The water in the fountain leaps and swirls behind her. Zuko steps back.

Katara: I gave you a chance! And you burned me for it! Leave me alone! I don’t want your friendship, or to have anything to do with you!

She turns to walk away, her eyes narrow as she turns back for a parting shot.

Katara: And if the others were smart, they’d feel the same way.

She leaves, and Zuko is shaking in frustration. He glares after her, before storming off in the opposite direction, kicking up a small ball of flame as he departs.
