Chapter one:

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Avatar: The last Air bender. I only own Helena. Which is a name I got from a song I like anyway. Yeah.

Two ships sailed the waters. Alas, they didnt see eachother. One ship, contained Prince Zuko. He was angry that he had not yet found the Avatar, He was so angry that he failed to see the other ship emerging from the thick fog. Or it was just that he couldnt see the other ship through the thick fog. Either way, the other ship crashed into his. There were many screams. But one that stood out from the rest. A scream that was a mix of masculin and feminin. Sort of like...the scream that Ranko makes in Ranma 1/2. Right after the scream. A young woman emerged from beind a giant water-bender thingie that was apparently a door to another room. She had long red hair and a wounderfully built body. She was so glamerous that the second Prince Zuko set eyes on her, he turned fire red. She did seem angry. She approched Prince Zuko and bended some water onto him. To get his attintion. He coughed out the water for a few seconds, then brought his attintion back to her. She staired at him for a second while he tried to controle his blushing. After a bit, she gave him a good hard smack.

"You jackass! Who do you think you are crashing into me!" She scolded him. It took him a second, but he stood upto her and scolded right back.

"What are you talking about? You crashed into me!" He scolded. Though, he wasnt angry at all really. This strange girl just gave him the cold shoulder.

"You better fix my ship!" She demanded. There was a silence as she pointed at where Prince Zuko's ship had broken her's. After the silence.

"Of course." With that, he told his armie? is that what they are? whatever. They are now. To get to work fixing her ship. "Now. While you wait. You and your crew are welcome to stay abord my ship." There was another moment of silence as her crew begged her to let them. The whole ship as almost broken. The girl sighed bitterly as she glanced at her broken ship.

"Fine." She replyed. Her crew cheered as they got aboard. Prince Zuko did not smile. Although, he really wanted to. He felt rain drops fall on his head and watched as the girl got wet as well. She was dressed in a lovly assortment of blue. Her shirt was a long sleeved chinese shirt that was light blue and she had a plate of armor on her chest that was dark blue. Light blue chinese pants and dark blue slippers. Quite a nice color combination. Prince Zuko didnt know what to do at this point, so he did what first came to his mind. He walked over to her, placed his arm around her shoulder and was all sexy.

"Im Pince Zuko." He whisperd to her. Well, she didnt like that, she elbowed him right in the gut and walked from him. His uncle walked upto him.

"Smooth." He mocked.

"Shut up." Prince Zuko told him, limping into the dining room I guess you would call it. Once he got in, he saw the girl's crew sitting at the table. Two spots open. His uncle sat at one and he sat at the other. He sat next to the girl.

"I apoligize for my nephew." Prince Zuko's unkle said to the girl. "He is quite a-"

"dolt." The girl finished. She bitterly moved away from the prince.It was clear to him that he had made her angry.

"Im sure you got my nephew's name, please, give us yours." His uncle said to her as Prince Zuko sat silently beside her, although she had inched away from him.

"Helena." She told them. She had very good manners for a girl alone on the sea. Not a curse word in this room to be said.

"Again. I apoligize." Prince Zuko said to her. "I was out of line."

"Damn strat." She snapped. Well..I guess I spoke too soon on the not a curse word said in this room thing. Once one of prince Zuko's army people served them dinner, Helena and her crew ate it silently. Once the water was served, everyone drank it with not a problem. Except..Helena. She was hesitant. Which made Prince Zuko stair at her. She staired at her glass, and everyone else's. Most were half full. Hers was full. She bit her lower lip. Controle..controle yourself... But it was useless, she quickly stood up and bended everyone's water together and played around with it. Doing a few fancy tricks untill she snapped back into what she had done, she saw everyone stairing at her. Quickly, she took off out of the dining room and onto the wet deck of his ship. Slipping.She fell backwards onto the hard metel surface, knocking herself out.

When she awoke, she looked around, her vision was a bit blurred.

"Lie down." A voice told her. She didnt obey, she just sat up. Disobeying. Once she got her vision back she saw she was in prince Zuko's room. He wasnt looking at her. But he did clear his throat. "Um..you might want to pull the blankets over you a bit more."

Helena looked at him confused for a moment. But then relizing why he had told her to do that. She quickly pulled the blankets over her shoulders glaring at him.

"Why the hell did you-" She was about to scold him but he interrupted.

"You would have gotten sick if you stayed in the same clothes. So they are drying. Dont get angry. They'll be returned to you soon." he informed her. She was silent, with the blankets over her chest.There was silence. "So, why were you out at sea?"

"Looking for someone." She told him. Keeping her body hidden from him. He wasnt even looking at her. But she still did so.

"Your friend?" He asked her. Rather liking the converstaion they had without having her angry with him.

"Hardly.I have to find him. Or Something near to me will be gone." She told him, he sat on his bed infrount of you.

"Mabye I can help you look. Who are you looking for?" He asked. She was quiet.

"The Avatar." She told him. He was suprised.

"Thats who Im looking for!" He exclaimed.
