Awhile ago I was really into writing one-sentence claims about different characters; ie., drabbles that are only one sentence long. (Bare with me here folks; some of these sentences are really long run-on sentences; but they sound pretty good for the sake of this)
Note: The word in parenthesis is the word before it in spanish. (Sorry native speakers if I got some of the words wrong -_-)
Enjoy! ;D (And try to guess what characters each sentence is about; some are more obvious than others )
Apple (manzana)...She is like a piece of apple stuck between his teeth; something he can't get rid of or away from, no matter how hard he tries; and suddenly when he loses her he realizes how much he wanted her to stay.
Fine (bien)...She was fine; her life finally had balance, had stability and then her life was turned upside down again when she was found by the princess; why couldn’t Azula let her be?
Door (puerta)…She is reminded that they have another girl in their group; another temperamental, moody, stubborn, annoying girl, as Sokka puts it; the only response coming to her shocked mind, “Did you just slam the door in my face?!?”
Time (tiempo)...He wonders if time really is an illusion as well as death; and thinks that maybe he isn’t alone as he thought as he remembers seeing her once again, though he thought he had lost her forever.
Flag (bandera)...It’s just a piece of cloth; just a thin piece of material; yet it means so much more than that when they see it hanging from the city walls, a scene that is forever burned in his memory.
Journey (viaje)...They were just going to rescue him; just bring him back for saving their village; and yet it turned out to be a long trip that he would never forget, a journey that has forever changed him from his experiences and he doesn’t think he’ll ever be the same again.
Boring (aburrido)…Her life was dreadful, it was boring, it was dull; but she never really truly appreciated the sameness of it, the routine of daily life there until she left and now she longs for it again, because the exciting life she exchanged it for is now tangled with treachery and she isn’t sure she can escape its confinement of lies.
Fate (destino)...He doesn’t believe in any of that magic stuff; yet he can not help but think that just maybe they were fated to meet, for he suddenly finds that he can’t explain it any other way.
Coins (monedas)…His sister would laugh to see him now as he held out his hat for spare change from people; how far the high and mighty prince of the fire nation had fallen.
Being Right (tener razón)...He was right that time about Jet, and he had been right now, but he finally decides that being right isn’t such a good thing after all when he searches the forest for his sister only to find her lip locked with the fire prince.
Trouble (problema)...He had been in trouble multiple times back in his village, yes; but none of them compared to the trouble that he found himself constantly in ever since he and his sister had joined the Avatar on his quest to master the elements.
Choice (selección)...It was a yes or no question, an easy answer; but yet it is so hard to make because it will change her life forever; and suddenly she realizes that she is making it too hard, that she needs to listen to her heart, not her mind in this situation; for it will help her make the right choice, not the easy one.
Repetition (repetición)…Maybe if he says it one more time she’ll finally get what he’s been trying to tell her.
Connection (comunicación)…She knew what he was saying but she still didn’t understand it; she knew that he was the savior and peacekeeper of the world, but that didn’t mean he was invincible and she didn’t think she could bare to lose him after all that happened.
Fortune (suerte)...Maybe she had listened too hard to the fortuneteller, maybe she wasn’t listening enough, maybe it just wasn’t meant to be, or maybe it was just bogus as her brother had said; but soon enough everything that was once questionable is now definite and she knows for sure that it wasn’t any of those reasons, no; it was because she had been looking for the obvious powerful bender that she was supposed to marry but she wasn’t really seeing the guy that had been there all along.
Change (transformación)…She looks at him and knows she has changed him, changed the way he thinks about the opposite gender, changed the way he thinks about fighting, about warriors; and with a bit of surprise, she realizes that he has changed her as well.
Turmoil (desorden)...His nephew had changed much over their time as refugees, but the prince still would not let go of the pride from before, and the old dragon of the west almost gave up all hope that his nephew would ever master lightning, but then she came into the picture; and now he smiles with glee as lightning courses out of the teen’s fingertips; telling the prince that it is nothing when asked what is so funny.
Belief (opinión)...As she looks out into the huge crowd before her watching the wedding; she thinks that if someone had told her this is what her future would be like and had showed her exactly what else was in store for her back at the beginning of their journey, she would have laughed and said that there was absolutely no possible way she would have married him and ended up like this; now she laughs at her past self and knows that nothing is ever as it seems.
Dream (sueño)...He wakes with a start and realizes that it was all just a terrible nightmare, settling back down in his sleeping bag with a smile before quickly sitting up again and walking over to where his sister sleeps; he has to make sure that he had been really dreaming, for drinking the cactus juice was no dream and suddenly he vaguely remembers watching his sister kiss the fire pri-……..no…no…NO; not good; and he screams out in horror as suddenly he sees the scene in front of him and knows that he wasn’t dreaming after all.
Escape (fuga)...The first time it was curiosity, (he didn’t know what it would do to him); the second time was a mistake, (how was he supposed to know that he had hidden some of it in his water pouch for later in his delirium); and the third time was on purpose (tea was a supposed calmer; who was to say that cactus juice wasn’t an escape from his troubles).
