[Once again, Ikki, you think of everything. Vivi gives the most enthusiastic of nods, and stands on her seat to get a better angle to blow out the candles. She reaches one hand across the table to take one of Ikki's hands.]
Are you ready? Let's close our eyes and make a wish! One...two...three! [And Vivi squeezes her eyes shut and wishes the first thing that comes to her--I wish for me and Ikki to always be best friends and sisters. Considering the current situation, it was a no-brainer.]
[ Ikki doesn't stand, but she leans forward, up on her knees on the bench. She reaches out to meet Vivi halfway, lacing their fingers together.
Right! [ She lets Vivi count, and shuts her eyes a half beat after Vivi, taking a deep breath as she makes her wish. Vivi's right - considering what they're about to eat, and what they're celebrating, it's a no-brainer. I wish for me and Vivi to always be best sister-friends. And then she blows out her candle, making certain to blow only so much as a normal person - i.e. not an airbender - might do.
[It didn't work?! Vivi leans closer and blows harder, eyes open this time so she can make sure of her aim. Still, her candle flickers out, then begins to burn again as if nothing happened. She exchanges a panicked look with Ikki.]
What if--does this mean our wishes won't come true?
