Title: Start of a Beautiful Friendship
Author: Sephira jo
Rating: G
Warning: Focuses on Mai and Ty Lee, if you don't know who they are this will make no sense.
Author's Notes: I really need a better title for this set than “Fire Flakes.” Inspired by the first day of school that any kid ever goes through.
 
Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar, I'm not making any money off of this.

“You're choking me…”
