The Sinking Feeling You Get When You Eat Magic Food

Welcome meatship crewmembers to the instrument of pure silly.

It had been a long period of waiting, but a prank was about to be issued after these dire dark times. As such, tables were set up around the WITCH Bus and other locations, unmanned stands where Lemonade and Brownies were available with the compliments of your friendly companions.

Do you dare risk chocolately goodness or sour-sweetness to discover it's dark delicious secrets?

(ooc: tag around, bug others and feel free to continue to madness. IC duration is about a day. Unless you deliberately take more with you. As a reminder, Lemonade brings you up ages to a good looking adultish level. Brownies turn you into kids. GO NUTS. Refer to the ooc post for details and ask questions there.)

"Billy, I love you but you really need to stop putting yourself down all the time! Natural talent is a myth! Maybe its easier to some, I guess, but nothing you want can be obtained without hard work and the intelligence to improvise: both things you don't lack, but self confidence is important too! Without that, you're just fooling yourself."

Whoa. He actually did hit the nail on the head here, and she was glad to get some advice from him this time. "It isn't just us: he has friends here, both of them really loyal to Will. Heck, I even talk with one of them. We're moving slow because...it would disrespect her memory of we just jumped in. I guess you could say I know when to be selfish, but this isn't a time I can just have something I want. I'd never want to hurt anyone by what he and I have. I want it to be special."

She did duck her head a little here. Who was the kid now?

"I''m trying to transfer that confidence over the things I've done right, Katara. From the people I've helped. If I have a small core of knowledge that I have helped, I can motivate myself to be more. It's small right now, but I'm trying to expand it."

And his Bondeds are about in the middle of that core right now, he thinks with some relief that might leak out.

"Then you're doing it carefully, as I know you would. Give it time and it just might work out." Billy was only vaguely aware of the complications of relationships, but he had to try his best.

As the sun dipped below the horizon in a beautiful spread of life, he conjured a robe and wrapped it around him. It's a nice night.

"I understand that, I do. It's just...I hate hearing you put yourself down, that's all. I know you have flaws, but I also believe you can beat them. I mean, you're a power ranger. Renne revers that, and you, so much he worships Zordon. He has faith in you, and so do I."

She smiled and brought out a red robe of her own, missing the colors since she had to go undercover in the fire nation. The sun looked wonderful at dusk, and she had a longing look on her face.

"I'd like to see my world again one day...but if that never happens, I think it would be nice to live in a world that isn't just images."

'She's right,' Billy thought to himself. 'If everyone else believes you can be strong, Billy, so should you.'

"I'm sure you'll find one," he assured. "We'll stop the Ohm before they destroy everything, somehow, and you'll find a home with your friends or with Matt. I'll try to invent something to keep us in contact, but it will probably have to be far stronger than our rings."

Billy didn't like to think about what happened when the war was over---if it did end, and they survived, they'd have to separate, wouldn't they? He hoped not.

Katara blinked. That hadn't occurred to her at all: the idea that they would be apart. Oh, she was sure that Renne would never leave Billy of course, but the idea of what she would do, who she would be around then, she hadn't thought of that. As it was, she wasn't sure what she would do if she had to go on without Aang or Sokka or the others.

"I'll look where I can. I...I really don't like the idea of being apart from you and Renne, but even I don't know how I'll feet at the end of everything. Let's just wait until that day comes."

"I can do that," he whispered, reaching for her hand, intending to squeeze it briefly but faltering. Would Matt mind? He'd have to ask her, Billy thought.

"We have much bigger problems to consider now. And we'll meet them."

If Billy had asked Katara what she thought Matt's answer would be, she would have known pretty easily. At least, she was pretty sure that he wouldn't mind.

She nodded. "Yes, we do. But I'm sure we'll meet them well together, as long as we're looking out for each other when we can. We just have to be ready."

"Right. And I know I'll be ready with your help," he admitted, still feeling shy about all that catching-up he's still trying to do.

Billy stood, offering her a hand. "Thanks for watching over me today. I really appreciate it."

She smiled. "You'll always have my help: just do me a favor and make sure that you can help me too. I may have a lot of experience, but you're still older than me. I'll need your guidance too."

She grinned. "Anytime. You're my bonded you know: I have to look out for you!"

"I will, if it's ever needed. You can count on it."

Billy gave Katara one last smile, then pulled her close on an impulse. Thanks for everything. I'll see you soon, all right? i have plans for the three of us.

It's his turn to be mysterious while the 'plans' are forming in his head.

"Thanks," she said, glad to know that she could count on him if she ever was at a point where she would need him. Considering her recent development with Matt, she wouldn't want his advice, at least relating to Matt's feelings and concerns. What else would come, she'd find out soon enough.

She was surprised at the hug, but accepted it happily. I'll be looking forward to it. It usually isn't like you to keep secrets!
