We've been getting an awful lot of rain this month so far, haven't we? Was it this bad last year?

Speaking of "year"... getting pretty close to my first, now. A lot has happened to make it feel a lot shorter than it is. I guess it took me by surprise...

Hey everyone, just a quick announcement:

Be sure to put in some extra practice today if you can, because tomorrow I plan on running a private tournament between you all to see how you're doing. It's hand-to-hand only, so you can use whatever techniques you've learned so far. Get a good night's sleep the night before, okay?

Next week I'd like to try some acrobatics, so we'll meet in the Battle Dome.

Hey, Toph, if you're not busy today, want to work on some training? I have a few ideas I'd like to try.

[Suki is out and about today, picking some stuff up at the plaza, checking on the status of the uniforms, and hiding out in one of the shops when the rain hits. Otherwise, housemates can find her at home- probably soaked to the bone when she arrives, poor thing.]

Only the second? Why?

The second one is when the Malnosso throw everything at you! Even the kitchen faucet! That's when you'll be happy and sad, and then really sad! But you might get happy again before it's over...!

You should just be glad you're only in the first year! That's the easiest one sometimes.

[This is starting to sound familiar.]

All of that doesn't sound any worse than my first year.

No no, the second year is that again, but it's a lot tougher!

See, you don't know 'cause you're still in first year.

Maybe the second year will be even better than the first. [After all the terrible things the Malnosoo put her and Sokka through? Surely it's going to get better.]

[Lolololololololololo]

You think so?

Why not? There's no reason to be scared of something that hasn't even happened yet. And good things have happened this year, too.

[Really good things, at that.]

Ahh. You sure you're not a half year? [Definitely something a half year would say tbh.]

Definitely not. Two weeks from now and it'll be a full year.

Man... has anyone ever told you, you're kinda weird?

That's just rude. How are you ever going to impress a girl if you make comments like that?

Hnn. Trying to impress a girl seems like something my cook would do. I don't really care about stuff like that.

Really, not at all? [And here she was starting to think all teenage boys wanted to catch a lady for themselves!

...Well, except Zuko, but he's some kind of alien man anyway.]

The most important thing to me is becoming Pirate King!

I can worry about all this other stuff after that.

Pirate... King? [He's a pirate? Oh geez, doesn't that make him a bad guy? He seems alright.]

Yeah, it's just like it sounds! I'm gonna become the king over every pirate!

Doesn't that make you a thief?

Hnnn. Yeah, I guess so.

Why would you want to rule a bunch of thieves?

Well I don't REALLY rule over them. It just means I'm better than the rest of 'em.

So you're aspiring to be... the best thief...? [She... cannot approve of this 8|a]

... Where did you even learn about pirates from? Being a pirate is about way more than just stealing.

What else is there to it? On my world, stealing is all that pirates ever seem to do.

Well it's a lot different on my world!

On my world being a pirate means you get to go out to sea and make tons of new friends! You get to visit all kinds of really cool places, and the adventure of doing it all and not knowing what's coming next is so amazing.

Ahh. Just thinking about it makes me miss home a little more.
