Overview[]
Katara decides that she should put two young children in their place when they soak innocent citizens at an Earth Kingdom market.
Synopsis[]
Two kids throw water balloons at unsuspecting people.
On a quiet day, Katara is browsing through a market in an Earth Kingdom village when two children begin dropping water balloons on civilians from the second story of a nearby building. The soaked citizens walk away dripping, unable to retaliate. Upon seeing this, Katara decides to reverse the situation.
When they try to drop water balloons on her, she waterbends them back at the children. The kids, having realized what was coming, hide behind a door, avoiding the balloons. However, Katara anticipates this and bends a barrel-full of water, sending it up to soak them with a number of citizens looking on. Once they have been thoroughly doused, townspeople cheer as Katara gloats about her victory against the "morons" who challenged her, a waterbender, to a water war, as Sokka raises a water balloon of his own to throw at his sister from behind.
