Chapter 6: A Difficult Season

One evening after Rosh's fight with Azula, Rosh comes to visit Ty Lee at her home. The sky is deep blue, and Rosh desperately knocks on her door. Ty Lee's father, Ky Lo answers the door. He has light brown hair, a tall thin body, brown eyes, and fair skin. He stands at six feet and two inches tall. He is a Fire Nation Nobleman with a bold voice. Ky Lo: "Rosh, why are you out this late?"

Rosh: "I am looking for Ty Lee. I need to apologize to her."

Ky Lo: "It's late, come back another day."

Ty Lee's mother Yi-Chun interrupts, "Let him go and talk to her."

Ky Lo scratches his head, "Fine, go ahead but you only have ten minutes. I'm sure your father doesn't want you out this late."

Rosh: "Thank you." Rosh bows for respect then scurries off further into the house. The walls are yellow, the floor is white, and the ceiling is white. Rosh jogs upstairs to find Ty Lee and notices two of Ty Lee's identical sisters. While Rosh heads toward Ty Lee's door, her sister Ty Lin stands in front of it.

Ty Lin holds her hand out in front of Rosh and smiles. Ty Lin: "Hey Rosh, I have been waiting for you." She speaks with a different accent as she attempts to sound like her sister.

Rosh: "Get out of my way Ty Lin, I know the difference between you all."

Ty Lin: "I heard you disrespected our sister." Ty Lao moves in behind Rosh and pushes him forward. Rosh turns around and quickly notices Ty Liu and Ty Lum move in behind Ty Lao while Ty Lat and Ty Woo move in behind Ty Lin.

Rosh sighs, "I did not mean to miss our date. I swear, I just got caught up--"

Ty Lao interrupts him, "With another girl."

Rosh: "No!"

Ty Lee's father hears the exchange from downstairs. Ky Lo shouts, "Hey, keep it down!"

Rosh murmurs, "No... I haven't been with anyone else."

Ty Lin leaps forward and swings at Rosh's face with a left hook. Rosh ducks then leaps backward and Ty Lao pushes Rosh towards Ty Lin. Lin uppercuts Rosh and he stumbles. Ky Lo interrupts, "Hey what was that?! If I hear one more outburst, I'm coming up there!"

Rosh shakes his head and Ty Lin pounces over him. Ty Lin: "How you like that?"

Ty Lee suddenly opens her door and shouts, "Stop it! Leave him alone."

Ty Lin gets up, "What? We were just trying to protect you."

Ty Lee: "I will handle this. Rosh, come in my room."

Ty Lin: "Fine, let's go girls." Ty Lee's sisters depart. Rosh dusts himself off. Rosh looks across to see a warm smile on Ty Lee's face, but does not find one. Instead, he sees a serious and stern Ty Lee that he has never witnessed before. She locks eyes with him.

Ty Lee puts her hands on her hips, "Come in. We need to talk." Rosh follows Ty Lee in her room. It is a room with pink walls and has several positive posters on her walls with uplifting expressions. Ty Lee: "So you ditched me to be out with another girl."

Rosh: "No, Ty Lee, I didn't. You've got to believe me."

Ty Lee shouts, "Liar!"

Rosh gasps, "I'm telling you. I went out with Macai for a bit. Ran into Azula by accident when she came to visit him. She got us to harass some people in the park."

Ty Lee: "That doesn't sound like you, you never do what Azula wants."

Rosh: "I tried it that time, to my detriment. I eventually complained when we may have ruined a man's relationship. It caused Azula to insult me and we had a war of words. Until she went too far and I snapped."
