Firelight Fountain

The Firelight Fountain is a romantic attraction within the city of Ba Sing Se. Located in the Lower Ring, the Firelight Fountain is popular with citizens who come to feed the turtle ducks in the day, and considered by Jin to be the most romantic spot in town at night.

The fountain is encircled by lanterns that brighten the entire area. There is a stone structure in the middle with a top center lamp and a lower level of lamps, and lanterns floating in the water.

History
When Jin met Zuko one day at his Uncle's tea shop, she offered him to go on a date. Iroh quickly accepts on his nephew's behalf, and the two teenagers meet after sundown outside the shop. After their dinner, Jin pulls Zuko off to one of her favorite parts of the city, the Firelight Fountain. She explains her mom and dad snuck out to meet here as teenagers and fell in love. At night, the fountain is usually lit by lanterns in the evening and causes the water to sparkle. However, when they get there, the lanterns are all dark and unlit.

Sensing her disappointment, Zuko tells Jin to close her eyes. Then, making sure that no one else is around to watch, he quietly lights all the lanterns with his firebending. Jin and Zuko stare into the fountain and Jin reaches out and holds his hand. Slyly, she tries to give Zuko a kiss, but Zuko holds up a coupon for a free tea between them and gives it to her. Nonplussed, she tells Zuko to close his eyes so she could present her gift to him. She then kisses him lightly and briefly. Zuko gives her a brief kiss in return, but quickly breaks away and leaves. When Jin asks him the reason, he simply says that "it's complicated" and heads back to the teahouse.
