They met on top of the mountain that divided their two villages. The villages were enemies so they could not be together. But their love was strong and they found a way. The two lovers learned Earthbending from the badgermoles. They became the first earthbenders. They built elaborate tunnels so they could meet secretly. Anyone who tried to follow them would be lost forever in the labyrinth.
But one day, the man didn’t come. He died in the war between their two villages. Devastated, the woman unleashed a terrible display of her Earthbending power. She could have destroyed them all. But instead, she declared the war over. Both villages helped her build a new city where they would live together in peace. The woman’s name was Oma and the man’s name was Shu. The great city was named Omashu as a monument to their love.

See why I’m choosing to rewatch this season? Those two random dancing hippies will never stop being hilarious. And look at them colors! AGAIN.
(Cut to a shot of the forest canopy. It is still daytime. The camera pans down and stops as Zuko enters the frame from the right. He carries a long fishing pole and a sour expression. The camera pans right to reveal the present source of Zuko’s misery. At the end of his enormous fishing pole he has succeeding in spearing what looks like a minnow. It wiggles pathetically. Zuko begins to speak from o.c., then cut to wide, overhead shot of Zuko standing behind Iroh from a point somewhere in the upper branches of a nearby tree.)
Iroh: Zuko, remember that plant that I thought might be tea?
Zuko: (horrified) You didn’t!
Iroh: I did. (Iroh turns around to reveal his red, swollen face which he is scratching) And it wasn’t.
Zuko: (in repulsion) Yah!
Iroh: (calmly while scratching) When the rash spreads to my throat I will stop breathing. (excitedly) But look what I found! These are bacui berries, known to cure the poison of the white jade plant. That, or macahoni berries that cause blindness.
Zuko: (losing his patience) We’re not taking any more chances with these plants! We need to get help.
Iroh: But where are we going to go We’re enemies of the Earth Kingdom, and fugitives from the Fire Nation.
Zuko: (musingly) If the Earth Kingdom, discovers us, they’ll have us killed.
Iroh: But if the Fire Nation discovers us, we’ll be turned over to Azula.
(They nod to each other in agreement.)
Zuko: Earth Kingdom it is.Avatar: The Last Airbender 2x02: Cave of Two Lovers

“You’re looking at the rare white dragon bush. Its leaves make a tea so delicious it’s heartbreaking! That, or it’s the white jade bush, which is poisonous.” -Iroh (The Cave of Two Lovers)
How about some OTP spam in honor of Valentine’s Day?
“Don’t let the cave in get you down, don’t let the falling rocks turn your smile into a frown!”
I will sing this whenever things go horribly wrong. Like these past couple days.
“Don’t let the cave in get you down.. Andreaaaa”
“I’m saying I’d rather kiss you than die! It’s a compliment!”
The hippies’ song from 2.02 “The Cave of Two Lovers”
