* In ''AvatarTheLastAirbender'', during the fortune teller episode, Katara is told she will marry a powerful bender. She believes. Later, her brother comments on how Aang is a powerful bender. Cue look of realization.
** Although neither character moved further in their attraction than coy glances for a number of episodes. For Aang, this happened in "The Guru," when he played this trope straight.
--->'''Aang:''' What? Why would I let go of Katara? I...I..''I love her.''
