I do not own Avatar: the last airbender. Begins before Zuko is banished. I am Mizuki, and the gaarahina authoress and rainbow lover (even though she's not gay) is Jay, haha.

Mizuki's POV

Life sucks when you're trapped in a hole. Feeling like I needed a great philosophical trip, I journeyed away from my home, the Northern Water Tribe regions, and headed toward our sistering nation in the South. Well, I got there, and it was cool and all, until I was accidentally thrown aboard a fire-nation ship. Then I ended up in the grounds of the kingdom in the fire-nation. How lucky am I, right? When I was trying to find a way back to the Southern Water Tribe, I fell into a hole…

And no one noticed me there the entire time. Which, I guess is a good thing. They might've been wondering why the hell a water bender is in the fire nation. They might think I'm up to something.

And just when I thought that I was going to be stuck there forever, a girl with short black hair, wearing a red kimono appeared.

"Hello, there! I'm Jay! Are you a mole-person?" she asked.

"Um…"

"Cuz if you were a mole-person, I would totally help you out! I've always wanted to meet a mole-person!"

"Then in that case, yes I am a mole-person!"

She smiled, and helped me out of the hole. When I got out, she started jumping up and down, repeatedly. Who gave her sugar?

"That's so cool!" she said.

I hadn't noticed that there was a second person around, though.

"Jay, who is this?" he asked her.

"IT'S A MOLE-PERSON, ZU-ZU!" she yelled.

Oh my. By the boy's glare, I figured that he wasn't a big fan of mole-people.

"Jay, she is not a mole-person. Mole-people don't even exist…" he said.

"What! YOU LIED TO ME!" she yelled, before pushing me back into the hole.

"Mph!"

I looked up to see her waving goodbye to the boy. Then she turned back to me and glared.

"I'm…sorry…?" I said.

She smiled widely.

"I forgive you!" she said, helping me out of the hole.

"Wanna be best friends!" she asked me.

"Sure…" I said.

"Yay!" she hugged me.

I awkwardly hugged her back.

"So what were you doing in that hole anyway?"

Crap…
