Faith, Aang, Katara, and Sokka are sitting around a bundle of sticks with a blue tent behind Katara and are surrounded by trees and rocks. A large se tu suddenly bursts from the surface, leaps through the air, and lands with a splash into the water. Katara rises and points at it.
Katara: (Excitedly.) Look!
Sokka rises to view the spectacle. The fish, a se tu, leaps into the air again, facing the group in mid-jump in slow-motion before landing in the water again.
Sokka: He is taunting us! You are so going to be dinner!
He grabs his fishing pole from his tent set up nearby and attempts to cast the pole into the water unsuccessfully.
Sokka: (Observes the fishing pole.) Hey, where's the fishing line?
Aang: (Sheepishly.) Oh, I didn't think you would need it, Sokka. (He holds up an intricately woven necklace decorated with a red flower.)
Sokka: (Walks over and examines the necklace.) Aw, it's all tangled!
Aang: (Rises to his feet.) Not tangled. Woven! I made you a necklace, Faith. It's not as good as the last one but I thought since you lost it...
He pauses in mid-sentence and displays the necklace, holding it between his hands as he flashes a toothy grin.
Faith: (Smiling and approaching him.) Thanks, Aang. (Takes the necklace.) I love it.
Sokka: (Sarcastically.) Great, Aang. Maybe instead of saving the world, you can go into the jewelry-making business.
Aang: I don't see why I can't do both.
Katara: (Smiling.) I think it's nice.
While saying this, Faith can be seen in the background, trying on her new necklace. Sokka turns back to the lake, where the se tu continues its acrobatic display. Sokka tosses the fishing line into the water in an attempt to spear the fish. He only grows more frustrated when he sees the se tu leap from the water, unharmed.
Sokka: Stop taunting me!
He runs into the water, holding his jawbone dagger. Aang watches him run off.
Faith: So, how do I look?
Aang turns to look at her, a bored expression on his face. His uninterested expression, however, soon transforms into one of awe and amazement. The background around her has become colored with shades of pink and purple, sparkles of light glistening every now and then. She smiles sweetly, blushing slightly with one hand behind her back and the other touching her necklace in a pose. Aang nervously pulls at his collar with his hand, smiling awkwardly.
Aang: (Nervously.) You mean, all of you or just your neck? (Puts his right hand behind his head in embarrassment.) I mean, because both look great!
Sokka: (Emerges from the water, holding the se tu.) Smoochie, smoochie, someone's in love! (Makes kissing noises before the se tu breaks free from his grasp, slapping Sokka in the face with its tail and disappearing under the water.)
Aang: (Embarrassed.) I... well, uh...
Katara: (Annoyed.) Stop teasing him, Sokka. Aang's just being a good friend. (Pats the side of his head.) A sweet, little guy! Just like Momo. (Pets Momo, who lands on Aang's shoulder.)
Aang: (Dismayed.) Thanks.
Katara: (Walking towards Faith and hugs her.) I think you look great Faith!
Faith: (Smiles up at Katara.) Thanks Kat.
Sokka emerges empty-handed from the lake, soaking wet and cross. Momo suddenly flies off Aang's shoulder upon hearing a loud noise in the distance. He leaps onto a rock followed by Aang, who observes the scene. He points to the source of the commotion.
