Soleil: *sigh* I have a problem, Lord Avatar. But I'm not sure you'd understand...

Avatar: Try me. If nothing else, I can offer another perspective on it.

Soleil: Okay, here goes. I want to be a warrior. A fearless, take-no-prisoners, sword-slinging tough gal. There's just one small hitch that I haven't gotten past... And it's making what should be smooth sailing into a four-day hurricane at sea.

Avatar: This is sounding serious. What's this "hitch" you mentioned?

Soleil: Ok... don't laugh, but... I lose my mind around cute girls.

Avatar: So I've heard. But what's the problem?

Soleil: No, I mean, I REALLY lose my mind. When I see a cute girl, I start to sweat. When she gets close, I faint sometimes. I just can't stand how great girls are!

Avatar: ...Are you putting me on? Is this some sort of prank? Are people watching this?

Soleil: You remember the other day, when I was on my way back to camp?

Avatar: Hmm, vaguely. I thought for a moment that you might have taken a blow to the head.

Soleil: Yeah, I don't blame you for thinking so, but it had nothing to do with the battle. What happened was... this cute village girl came up to me to thank my troop. That's when I started to feel weak in the knees...

Avatar: Oh, was that all?

Soleil: No, you don't understand! This is a real problem if I'm going to be a warrior!

Avatar: I... I see... Take heart. I'll give it some thought, and hopefully we can come up with a solution.

Soleil: Ok, the blindfold's on.

Avatar: You fastened it tightly? There's no light getting through?

Soleil: Nope, I'm totally blind for whatever you had in mind.

Avatar: Good. I want to try a visualization exercise with you. I want you to picture me not as I am, but as I might look if I was a woman.

Soleil: ... Hello, gorgeous.

Avatar: Y-you've got the idea, it seems... What we'll do is, I'll play the role of a girl, and you try to keep it together around me.

Soleil: OK! This should be fun. Though it's harder to fantas- I mean, imagine you as a girl when you're talking. Maybe try a higher pitch?

Avatar: Ah, good point. OK... Oh, Soleil...!

Soleil: *gasp* Th-there it is... that tingly feeling... That familiar rush of blood to the head...

Avatar: You saved us all! You were so amazing and strong when you beat up the bad guys!

Soleil: Aaaaaaaaah!

Avatar: Was that more or less right? I was trying to get into the village girl mind-set.

Soleil: I-it was scary close. I almost fainted.

Avatar: Good! This should help to build a tolerance. Shall we go once more?

Soleil: Yeah. I'm game. But maybe I could take a short break before we get back at it?

Avatar: Of course! Take all the time you need.

Soleil: Thanks! Because so long as I've got this blindfold on and we're visualizing... I'm gonna daydream about what the rest of the guys would look like as girls! Mmm, Xandra... you're so much prettier when you smile...

Avatar: Uh, Soleil...! Soleil! That's not the point of the exercise!

Avatar: Ah, hello, Soleil. Have our visualization sessions helped with your problem?

Soleil: Not much, I'm afraid. After the last battle, I went to a nearby village. And wham, I got mobbed by a pack of grateful village girls. Just the kind I like... I blacked out, and when I came to, things had taken a turn for the worse. They were waiting on me hand and foot! I hate to say it, but I think we've been wasting our time.

Avatar: I see...

Soleil: Sorry, Avatar.

Avatar: It's all right. It might be a while before you can keep your composure around girls. Don't be upset because the problem isn't solved after a few days.

Soleil: That's true. I shouldn't let it get me down. When I was little, I was a real crybaby. But then my father said to me... "Laugh it off, Soleil. The trick is to smile until you have something to smile about." Ever since, no matter how I feel inside, I put on a happy face. Which is what I ought to be doing right now!

Avatar: Soleil... you don't need to force a smile.

Soleil: It's not forced, though! Sure, we haven't made any headway on my problem. But you're trying to help. That counts for a lot. So don't think this smile of mine is fake. I mean it!

Avatar: In that case, I'll smile for you too. You're an important member of the team. I want to help with any problem of yours.

Soleil: You mean that? Because I'd be up for some more of that visualization stuff. I love it when you pretend to be a girl, heehee. Though nowadays, I have fun with you no matter what we're doing.

Soleil: What did you want to see out here, Avatar? What's going on?

Avatar: It's nothing special. Look up at the sky.

Soleil: The sky...? Oh!

Avatar: This is the warmest, brightest spot I know. The sun shines especially strong here.

Soleil: Wow, no kidding. It's so nice!

Avatar: Just like you.

Soleil: Hm?

Avatar: Your smile is radiant as the sun. I'd bask in its warmth forever if I could...

Soleil: Uh... Are you feeling OK, Avatar? Did you take a hit to the head or something?

Avatar: N-no! I'm being totally serious!

Soleil: For real...? Gosh, I wasn't expecting this today.

Avatar: I understand if you're not interested, since I'm only a woman in your imagination.

Soleil: Oh, that's not such a problem. I like men just fine. I think I could even get to like one for real if I knew him well enough.

Avatar: That's great! So then...

Soleil: But we're not there yet. The image I had of you during our sessions... It was cute, and lovely, but it's not you.

Avatar: Is that a problem?

Soleil: Well... yes and no. The girl you in my imagination was cute and adorable. And if you just wanted to be silly and have fun, I'd close my eyes and imagine her. But it sounds like you're talking about something serious. Something real. So that version of you, cute as she is, won't work anymore.

Avatar: Oh. Then where does that leave us?

Soleil: We'll just have to start over! Instead of hanging out with you pretending to be other people... we'll hang out and I can get to know who you really are instead. I'm confident we can get there. I mean, I already like you a lot!

Avatar: Enough to make up for me not being a cute girl?

Soleil: Hey, cute's cute!

Avatar: That's high praise, coming from you.

Soleil: Haha... to be honest...

(Confession)

Soleil: I love you more than all the cute things in the world combined. This is kinda embarrassing, but... stay with me forever... Promise?
