#0, (teaser) S5M6(?) TbS2 Goodbye & Hello
Posted by Gryphon on Aug-20-13 at 12:41 PM
Cracked 100K recently, and to celebrate, here is a moment on Air Temple Island.

Still haven't decided whether this is S5M6 or S5M5.2.



        As she climbed down, Anne was amused to see Gyatso and one of
the other airbender boys, about the same age or a little younger, having
a bit of a foot race to see who would get to help Amy with her rucksack.
The other boy won, elbowing his way in front of Gyatso with a big grin
and piping,
"Welcome to Air Temple Island! I'm Tenzin and he's nobody
important. I'll be happy to show you to your quarters. May I take your
bag?"
Amy blinked, then smiled, unshouldering the pack and handing it
over. Tenzin covered any surprise he might have felt at its weight
well, hoisted it onto his back, and turned to go. "This way!"
"You guys go ahead and get situated," Nall told them. "We'll
meet back here in an hour - I think the plan is for us all to head back
to town for dinner."
"Works for me," Rory agreed, following after Tenzin and Amy.
"Are you a firebender?" the boy asked Amy as he led the way
across the courtyard toward the dormitories. "Or a fire -spirit?- Your
hair is amazing." After a moment's consideration, he added matter-of-
factly, "You're probably the most beautiful woman in the world."
Amy went a little bit red. "Uh... well, thank you," she said,
entirely disarmed by the cheerfully candid way he's said it.
"Hey, now," Rory objected mildly.
"Oi, you'd better not be disagreeing with him, matey," Amy
warned him.
Off to one side of their path, a young girl in Air Acolyte robes
stood with her arms folded, frowning, as she overheard Tenzin's remarks.
"You really need to work on your detachment, Tenzin," she scolded him.
"Not a master, don't have to yet," Tenzin retorted cheerfully.
The girl sighed, rolling her eyes, then put out a hand to
intercept Rory as he tried to follow Tenzin and Amy past her. "Not so
fast, champ," she said. "You're a boy." She pointed to a different
building. "Your quarters are over there."
Rory looked at the building, then at her, then at Amy, and
sighed. "Oh. Just like being back at school," he said, then nodded
with an air of resignation and went on, "Righto... "
"I'll show you a room you can use, the girl added, as if
conceding a point.
Amy grinned. "See you later... champ."
"Don't you start, Mrs. Williams," said Rory with a wry smile,
and then he trundled his rolling suitcase off toward the men's quarters.
"What's your name?" he asked his frowning little guide after a few
paces. "I'm Rory."
"Sita," the girl replied curtly. Then, without any preamble at
all, she asked, "Is it just me, or is Tenzin the biggest dope who ever
walked the face of the world?"
Rory looked slightly taken aback by this inquiry, then replied,
"I'm... sure I don't know. I've only just gotten here."
Sita gave a long-suffering sigh. "Figures you'd take his side,"
she said. "-Boys.-"
