"Mai, are you awake?"
Could she have ever been asleep? Next to her, in this small tent, sleep was impossible. Even if Ty Lee was balanced and still, a rock, her noises. Whines and sighs, her nighttime day dreams.
"Yes."
Ty Lee pounced, clutched Mai's back like a kitten. Her claws were sharp and needed trimming. Mai grabbed for her weapons. Too far.
"I was thinking…"
A dangerous thing.
"What were you thinking about?"
Ty Lee giggled and grabbed Mai like a pillow. "You know."
Did she want to know? Grunting, her soul escaping and her eyes bulging out of their sockets.
"That boy."
Ohh, that boy. All she thought about. Follow commands, don't be killed, that that boy. A one track mind, ever since the All Girl's Academy.
Mai tore at Ty Lee's hands. Getting them off was impossible. "What… about that… boy?" Between breathes, losing air.
She sighed and removed her arms, spinning hair. Mai's black hair.
"Can I braid your hair Mai? I bet you would look so cute in a braid! We could be twins," she gasped. A new idea in her mind, original for once.
But twins means sisters.
Mai agrees. And Ty Lee begins. She babbles as she twists Mai's hair strangely, like her own body.
Mai can't say no to Ty Lee because she is seduced. She can't say no to Azula because she is afraid. Her life is the most important one to her. The only one.
"MAI. Are you asleep?"
The blackness changes into cloth. It's old and probably the same one they used when younger. She surely is awake now. She had slept? That was a mystery to her.
"No."
Ty Lee smiles and her bright teeth are like a fire in the night. "Good, sit up and admire your hair!"
Mai touches her own scalp, hoping for a reflection. Ty Lee twists her legs over her head and stares back. Her hair is down, a false image.
"Wow, I'm you."
Ty Lee giggles and bends her legs under her body. She grabs her hair into two clumps, one on either side of her head.
"Now I'm you!" She smiles, wickedly, and remembers that she's Mai. She can't smile. She begins to talk with a deep voice:
"Hey you guys, I like to kill people. When I'm not busy scowling and dreaming of Azula's brother."
She falls over in laughter, releasing her hair. She rocks and rolls.
Mai smiles as well and lies upon her pillow. Sideways. Zuko is an ancient memory. Her fascination with him is no longer admiration and is just that. Fascination. What does he look like now, her first love? Does he still fumble and blush, easily? A strange familiarity encompasses her. A slight feeling in her heart of remembrance and craving.
Ty Lee encompasses her in a backwards hug. Normally pushing in her stomach, Ty Lee moves to her ribs.
"I'm glad you're my friend, Mai. Not to speak ill of Azula."
Would she ever do so? Mai wouldn't. Ty Lee wouldn't. She didn't have the courage to-
Her courage was abundant. Her soft, small hands nimble. Sliding over thick material but still touching Mai's breasts. Barely there but still blushing.
Ty Lee whispering, which was strange. "And Azula?"
What of her? She was always there, watching and yelling and teaching. Both of them learned.
Ty Lee was fast and her hands the same. Harder now. Mai felt the blush grow and move through her body.
The sensation was there but the hands weren't. Ty Lee's face and her hair hung above Mai's. Her smile was bright.
"Do you think that boy likes me?"
And Mai was so hoping for change.
