Steph's worried about Zuko - very worried. Surely he should be back now - it's been days!

How long is it gonna take, anyway?

She's eyeing the rafters longingly. When emo, head upwards; that's the rule she's almost always lived by. But when you have not-quite-entirely-dog puppies to look after, rafters are a bad idea. She can just see Zuko coming back in just in time to see Gheri and Gifr go splat.

... It wouldn't be pretty.

So: there is a Steph, over by the fire, in an armchair. She'd be curled up tight and emo, but the puppies have just fed and want to sleep, and it's hard to curl up when monster-puppies want to use you as a pillow. It's hard to stay emo, too. Puppies: the solution to all emo. Steph's thinking she should market it.

And here is a Sam.

Here is a Sam bouncing.

"You have secret psychic powers and you didn't tell me." Sam pokes Steph's shoulder. "How did you do that?"

Steph looks at her, analysing.

"...nope, I give up. What happened?"

"He kissed me. He kissed me a lot." Dazed, dazed, whirly grin.

"I knew it!" Steph crows, beaming. "I so picked it, didn't I? Dude! That's awesome!"

"It's this place." Sam looked around suspiciously. "There's something in the air. I swear. There's got to be. No way he'd do that on his own."

Secretive beam.

"Uh-huh," Steph says. "Sure."

She doesn't look smug at ALL.

"Just the once? I mean, just the once a lot?"

"Just the once a lot," Sam says, nodding fervently. Then, "Oh man. I don't know if I'll be able to handle much more of it. It was hard enough when I couldn't tell him anything, but now he's around and he knows and he's--guh," Sam said, to emphasize.

Steph giggles. "Go you! Seriously, I totally know what you mean."

Sam gave a little dispondant moan and covered her face with her hands. "This is so weird and so great and ... and it's just... overload."

Steph manhandles the puppies and herself over to one side of the armchair and tugs on Sam's arm. "Sit. No falling over with glee. And I totally have to say it again: I told you so!"

Steph's so very pleased!

Sam sits in the arm chair looking dazed.

"You did. But I didn't believe you. And... he..." She turned to Steph with a huge grin. "...It was really hot."

Steph grins, a little wistful. She misses Zuko! There hasn't been any snogging for days now. Makes a Steph sad.

"That is so awesome! Dude, I'm totally gonna tease you for, like, ever about not thinking he liked you."

"But he didn't! At least, he didn't used to..."

Sam is very confused.

"I don't know. One minute we were yelling and then we were kissing."

That gets an outright giggle. "Dude. That sounds so exactly like Zuko and me. 'Cept, y'know. I was convinced I hated him. Right up till I snogged him. And then I thought I hated him for a few weeks more, and then we started yelling, and then found out we couldn't actually keep our hands off each other ..." She's still laughing. "So I'm guessing there's lots of sex in your future!"

Sam was possibly more red than the reddest thing in the Universe.

Steph giggles. THERE SO IS.

Sam tried to glare.

Failed.

And buried her face in her hands, a strangled groan wheedling out between her fingers.

"It's a good thing," Steph says solemnly. "Do you know about the birds and the bees?"

Well - it'd be solemn if she wasn't so obviously teasing.

Okay, now that was a glare, albeit a bad one. She punched the other girl's shoulder. "Shut up!"

Steph's still just laughing.

Sam could quite possibly be dying. No one should be that red.

"All right, all right, we'll change the subject," Steph says, still laughing. "...Fish."
