two whirlwinds. WRITTEN.

[breezing]

Hi! This is Ikki. I'm writing this time. Since people keep asking about mommy and daddy, I drew pictures. And then some of people here who I met and my family here!


This is my family at home! That's me and my sister Jinora, and then Meelo is on Daddy's head, and Mommy and Daddy are holding Rohan. We're all at Air Temple Island there!


This is my family here! We're in a pink place because I wanted to use pink. It's me and Grandpa and Katara and Uncle Sokka and Aunt Toph and Uncle Roku and Uncle Zuko!


And this is everyone I met so far! It's Shikamaru who's super nice and cool and makes really really great shadows, and Nomi and Luke who are like an Avatar but not, and Chien and Soren, who don't bend air, and Vivi, who has the prettiest hair ever!


Also I got a swim suit and an apple and candy and soda and a room in our house, and it's the best best best best house ever!

Yeah, maybe. Don't forget to ask, though. Maybe he'd like some time just to get to know you.

[Or not, but who knows! He just doesn't want to intrude.]

[voice]

[breezing]

I'll ask! Hey, did you know my uncle beat someone Grandpa Aang and Katara couldn't with just his boomerang?

[voice]

[endgames]

Had no idea.

[voice]

[breezing]

Yeah! The guy was called Combustion Man and Uncle Sokka hit him in the forehead! And then he got knocked out! [ SECONDHAND STORIES, Sokka told her this the day she arrived. She's still impressed. ]

[voice]

[endgames]

Wow. Did he show you the boomerang yet?

[That is pretty impressive aim though. 8|a]

[voice]

[breezing]

Yep! And he said he's gonna make me one and teach me how to throw it! It's going to be pink or yellow or orange!

[voice]

[endgames]

Aaa, I see. What if it were pink and yellow and orange?

[voice]

[breezing]

It would be the BEST boomerang EVER! [ SQUEALLLLLL. ] I hope it has hearts and stars on it, too!

[voice]

[endgames]

[Ffff it will be the girliest manly weapon.]

Once it's done, you could decorate it however you want, I bet.

[voice]

[breezing]

[ Sokka said she could draw it and he'd make it for her, so YES, YES IT WILL BE. ]

D'you think it could have glitter?

[voice]

[endgames]

Maybe, but if you're throwing it, the glitter could come off.

[voice]

[breezing]

And leave a trail of sparkles?!

[voice]

[endgames]

...well that's one way to look at it.

[YOU AND YOUR SHININESS.]

[voice]

[breezing]

What other way would there be?

[ GENUINELY MISSING HOW THIS IS A BAD THING, SHIKAMARU. ]

[voice]

[endgames]

You'd be out of glitter, for one.

[voice]

[breezing]

Well, that's true. So I could save it up for special attacks!

[voice]

[endgames]

There you go, now you're thinking. [Not that it works like that, but maybe she'll forget by the time she figures it out.] You gotta come up with a cool name for those attacks too.

[voice]

[breezing]

Oh! [ She definitely just clapped her hands together, like she does when someone comes up with something brilliant. ] Yeah, you're right! Like - like shooting star explosion or something!

[voice]

[endgames]

Not a bad start - you're pretty good at this.

[voice]

[breezing]

Do you have any special attacks, Shikamaru?

[voice]

[endgames]

Aa. But they're special because they're secret. That's an important part about being a ninja, after all.

[voice]

[breezing]

Should I keep mine secret, too?

[voice]

[endgames]

[Ikki, he wonders if you're even capable. But he really hopes so, because he has a request.]

Since you're not a ninja, it's really up to you.

[voice]

[breezing]

[ Excuse you, she can keep some secrets. If people ask. And it's impressed on her that it's important. 8| ]

Do you like being a ninja?

[voice]

[endgames]

It's troublesome; not the kind of life I expected it to be, when I was your age. But I love it.

Even if there's a lot of secrets involved. And speaking of that, I need to ask you for a big favor.
