Julia: "Why aren't you having any tea?"
Aria: "Oh come on Julia, not you too. Nobody understands my hate for tea and everyone forces me."
Julia laughed, "Oh that's okay. We don't have any adults here today. No one's forcing you to drink tea. Actually, you know what? Maybe I also won't drink it." Saying this she kept her cup on the table and grabbed a couple of pastries.
Aria laughed, "Seems like I have turned you into a troublemaker like me."
Julia: "Yeah, I never get to cause any trouble when I'm with Beth. She's just a perfect princess."
Aria: "Wonder who we get it from. Speaking of Beth, where is she?"
Julia looked around, "I wonder."
Aria: "Didn't you say she was here? I have not seen her ever since I arrived."
Julia continued searching and finally found Beth, sitting in a fairly secluded corner of the room. She said, "What is she doing there?"
Aria shrugged, "Don't know. Let's go find out, shall we?"
And off went the two jumping like butterflies to join their third butterfly.
But just as they were about to reach Beth's table, she got up and left. Aria and Julia looked confused.
Julia: "Umm, she left?"
Aria: "Looks like it. Come on."
The two had begun to walk in the direction where Beth had gone when two boys suddenly came out of nowhere. They wanted to ask Aria some tips about fire bending.
Aria tried to look past them for Beth but Julia held her shoulder. She said, "Aria, it's not good manners to ignore someone who approached us. And I'm sure Beth will be just fine."
Aria nodded and sat down at a table with the two boys while Julia was asked to play by someone.
After about an hour, Joseph came in with head butler Leo. He said, "Okay boys, I hope you enjoyed yourselves today. But your carriages are waiting. It's time for you to return home."
The boys started to grumble and Joseph was shocked. Usually these boys never complained. But after some convincing, and promising that he would be bringing the girls as often as he could, the boys left one by one. Most of them told Joseph how they had enjoyed and they would love to come again.
Joseph was wondering what had happened that the boys had enjoyed so much when Aria came running into his arms, shouting, "Daaaddd, where were you? I could not find you the whole day!!!" Joseph's face brightened and he picked up Aria. He pinched her cheeks and said, "So you are the reason the reason the boys were so happy. What did you do?"
Julia came upto her father and said, "Dad, Aria is such a good bender. All of them were amazed by her skills and even wanted some tips from her."
Joseph stroked Julia hair, who giggled. He said, "Well, they are boys after all. Anyway, did you girls enjoy yourself?"
Aria and Julia said in unison, "We did."
Joseph let Aria down and looked around, "Where's Beth?"
Julia: "We don't know. She did not join when we were playing and left suddenly when we went to talk to her."
Joseph looked worried and asked, "Did you both do something to make her angry?"
Aria: "Nothing that I can remember. Dad, do you think she is angry at us?"
Joseph reassuringly looked at his two daughters, "No my treasures, how can someone be mad at you. Look, there she is."
