Shiro: Hrrrnh! Gotcha!

(Shiro leaves)

Avatar: Shiro? So it is you! What are you doing down by the river so early?

Shiro: Oh, morning, Avatar! I was just out trying to spear a fish or two. I know my way around a lance, after all! See how many fish I've snagged already?

Avatar: That's enough to feed an army. You caught all of these single-handedly?

Shiro: Sure did! Shh—I just saw another one. Hyah!

Avatar: My, you're quick with that spear.

Shiro: Cut it out, before you embarrass me. Hey, what if I cooked some of these fellas for breakfast? They're good eating!

Avatar: Oh, no, I couldn't ask you to trouble yourself.

Shiro: Trouble? No trouble at all! I should warn you, though, I'm not as good with a skillet as I am with a spear.

Avatar: Pfft, you're too modest. I'm sure it will be delicious.

Shiro: Hahah, well, we'll see. I actually already cooked a few in case anybody came by wanting one.

Avatar: Hmm? Oh, is that what the campfire by the riverbank is for?

Shiro: Yep. It takes too long to roast them one by one, so I do it in batches. I figured all the serious eaters would be by at some point... Looks like you're the first!

Avatar: I-I'd hardly call myself a "serious eater"!

Shiro: Hahahah! Here, this one looks just right for you.

Avatar: Wow, that does look tasty... OK, let's have it. *chomp* *chomp* Wow! It's delicious!

Shiro: See? You're a connoisseur after all.

Avatar: This may be the best fish I've ever tasted. Is it because it's freshly caught? Or do I have your skills as a chef to thank?

Shiro: Good question. I dunno. But seeing as you liked that one so much... Go ahead and have some more. I'll join you!

Avatar: You're a generous sort, aren't you, Shiro?

Shiro: Who, me? I don't know about that... I just felt like putting all this together. But never mind that—there's more fish ready to eat. Come on, dig in! You gotta try the trout!

Avatar: H-hold on! One at a time...!

Shiro: Avatar! I've got another giant pile of fish ready to serve. How's your appetite this morning?

Avatar: Oh, you went spear fishing again today? I can't ask you to bring me fish every time you go out.

Shiro: Sure you can! You probably don't know this, but... I was really happy you liked my fish that time we met by the river! I want you to be as happy as I was then, which is why I keep bringing you fish.

Avatar: Errm...thanks, I think! But this makes five meals of fish in a row, and I'm ready for something else. Besides, there is something I wanted your advice on...

Shiro: I'd be glad to help.

Avatar: You've fed me so many fish now that I feel I should repay you for them somehow. Why don't I act as your partner for lance practice?

Shiro: Hmm...I guess you are my father's sister. If you're as tough as him...

Avatar: You mean Ryoma? Yes, I've had quite a few sparring sessions with him.

Shiro: All right, I'll take you upon that! I love a good challenge.

Avatar: Thank goodness...no more fish...

Shiro: Huh?

Avatar: Oh, it's nothing! I'll let you know when I'm ready, OK?

Shiro: Yeah, sounds great! Thanks!

A Support

Avatar: Hrrnh! Yaah!

Shiro: Oof! You're as good as I hoped, Avatar! I'd have to go back a ways before I had a sparring session this intense!

Avatar: Thank you. You're not so shabby yourself.

Shiro: Hahah, glad I'm living up to your expectations! We've been at this awhile, though... Let's take a breather.

Avatar: Very well.

Shiro: Whew! What a workout. I appreciate you taking the time to train with me. I can already see a few ways to improve my technique!

Avatar: I'm happy to assist. But they tell me you never miss a day's practice... Is there a reason you're training so hard?

Shiro: Hmm? Oh, for my father, I guess.

Avatar: Ryoma? You're trying to outdo him?

Shiro: Yes. My father's outlook is pretty... old fashioned. We don't agree on much. But no one can touch him when it comes to pure skill in a fight. If you had a father like that, wouldn't you feel the need to push yourself all the time? That's why I never let up practicing. One day I'll beat him.

Avatar: I think I can sympathize. But, Shiro...if anyone can surpass Ryoma, I'd bet on you.

Shiro: Then you'd win your bet! Though of course, that's not my highest priority right now. I've still got to bring peace to the world, and other little things like that.

Avatar: Indeed. I'm training for the same reasons.

Shiro: You? No way! You're already terrifying! It's hard to pin down, but you're strong in a way that's different from my father. I'm trying to learn from you as best I can.

Avatar: Haha, you're too kind, Shiro. I think this is as good a time as any to resume training, don't you? We both have a lot of ground to cover!

Shiro: Let's do it!

Shiro: Avatar, can I ask a huge favor? Let's have a practice match. Right now.

Avatar: Why on earth...?

Shiro: Please, just do this for me!

Avatar: I don't mind at all, but why—

Shiro: No time to explain. I brought a lance for you.

Avatar: Very well. I'm ready when you are.

Shiro: En garde!

Avatar: You're like a man possessed today...!

Shiro: *pant* *pant* Yaaaaaaahh!

Avatar: Ouch!

Shiro: Oh! I'm sorry, Avatar! You OK?

Avatar: Fine...just winded. You came at me so ferociously, I'd lost before the battle had even begun.

Shiro: Yeah...I guess I overdid it just a little.

Avatar: A little? What's going on here, Shiro? You don't seem yourself today.

Shiro: I should come clean. I decided that today's match would decide for me if I should tell you or not...

Avatar: Tell me what?!

Shiro: If I managed to beat you, I was gonna go ahead and say it...so here goes... I'm—I'm in love with you!

Avatar: Shiro...

Shiro: Sorry if this comes as a shock. But over all those fish dinners and mock battles... I noticed I was starting to really care about you. You've always gone the extra mile to support me. When I see you smile... I really believe in myself. I know I can get stronger if I try. So I'm hoping you'll stick around for me.

Avatar: Um... Ahahahah!

Shiro: Huh? What are you laughing for?! I was being serious!

Avatar: I'm sorry, Shiro, I didn't mean to make fun. But this whole confession you set up...it's so you! I can't help but laugh.

Shiro: That's cold, Avatar...

Avatar: Forgive me, I didn't mean to offend you. I actually found it charming. It's a perfect example of what I like about you.

Shiro: What? Really?! Does that mean that you want to be with me too?

Avatar: Yes. Whether it's spear fishing or lance practice, I want to do everything together!

Shiro: Thank the stars! And thank you, Avatar! (Confession Scene)
