Narrative
The cliffs have been cut by a river that runs at its bottom. Three figures appear in the river near a sand beach on its far bank. Two of the figures, Aang and Katara face each other like gunslingers in front of a natural arch of stone that protrudes from the cliff wall. The third, Sokka, rides lazily in a boat made of an enormous leaf.
"You guys are gonna be done soon, right?" Sokka asked, lazily. Sokka was floating past in the foreground. He is naked except for a white loincloth. His hair is no longer in a pony tail and now lies tangled in a wet mass on his head. Katara too has dispensed with her normal blue garb. She wears the equivalent of a white two piece bathing suit. She is in a bending stance as she faces Aang across from her, who is naked from the waist up and also in a martial arts stance.
"We've got a lot of ground to cover if we wanna make it to Omashu today." Sokka added. Katara drops her bending stance and slumps over at Sokka's statement, then turns to face him with an arched eyebrow. "What, like you're ready to go right now, naked guy?" She asked teasingly.
"I can be ready in two minutes. Seriously." He lifts his hair to look at them and lets his arm drop lazily back into the water. "So, you were showing me the octopus form." Aang said, continuing what they were doing. "Right. Let me see your stance." She shakes her head at Aang's form and comes over to correct it. "Your arms are too far apart. See, if you move them closer together you protect your center. You got it?" She asked, softly. Aang, blushing, slightly flustered, "Oh... yeah. Thanks." He mumbled, thankful.
She drops her hold on him and walks back to her former position. She turns around to face him once again in a bending stance. "Okay, let's see what you got." She said, ready for his attack. Aang's hands move from above as he raises some water from the river. Aang finishes pulling up a large blob of water. With a smooth motion he causes the blob to sprout about a dozen, wide tentacles. Katara then begins to rapid fire icicles at him. The first one is grabbed and deflected in mid air by one of Aang's water tentacles. After several more are deflected, Katara's back legs wider apart, raising, freezing and shooting ice projectiles at Aang who is off to the right. Aang, who dodges Katara's icicles and then uses one of his water tentacles to lash at Katara who is now to the left. Katara now in the front, she is slightly surprised as Aang's water tentacle grabs her leg and yanks tight. Then she straightens, places her hands on her hips and smiles.
