Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar: The last Airbender. I own my own characters

This is my first story on here. :-] The asian words are kind of literal and if I messed them up I apologize. I am not a native speaker! I don't really like the end but I wanted a funny moment soo... Anyway, enjoy!

"Energy, qi, energy, qi, energy, qi…" A girl with a dark complexion emerged from the darkness. She whispered "Energy, qi, energy, qi…" Her short black hair was longer in the front. The wind was blowing her hair over her eyes. Once it stopped it revealed her white glowing eyes. Aang ran away from the girl, terrified. She grabbed the back of his collar. "Help!" he shouted. "Who are you?" She simply stated "Energy".

Aang escaped from her grasp. His staff suddenly appeared in his hand. He swung at her to air bend but nothing happened. The girl with the glowing eyes snatched his staff and swung back at him. A powerful burst of wind swept him away in darkness. He slammed into a wall he couldn't see.

He felt the hard surface but nothing was there. The room began to feel hot. Flames engulfed him in a circle. He shielded his face. He saw two figures through the flames. They were dressed in Air Nomad clothing. He knew them. He felt their love. But they faded away. He reached out to touch them but the flames just grew hotter.

Aang awoke in a cold sweat. He grabbed his staff and found Appa sleeping outside. He patted him gently. "Appa we're going on a trip somewhere." The Bison grunted in protest. "I know you don't like being woken up but I want to get there by morning." After leaving a note for Katara, the young monk headed towards the fire nation.

Zuko awoke to the sound of wind. But it wasn't outside. It sounded as if it were coming from inside. He found breakfast at his feet, one of the many perks of being Fire Lord. A swirling tornado appeared in Zuko's cup of tea. He rubbed his eyes. "Am I dreaming?" he asked aloud. His eyes grew even wider when the crackers started spinning by themselves. He heard rustling above his head. A sea of white ovals covered his ceiling.

They appeared to be tiny insects. In one swift move the prince fire bended the sea of white above him. As it began falling he realized it was white rice. The rice hit his skin like hundreds of little rocks falling from sky. He sensed someone by his side.

He whipped the top edge of his cover over to the intruder's side. Zuko shielded his face as rice blasted back at him with full force. Zuko looked at Aang with a look of hatred that could burn through steel. He laughed nervously and said "In my defense I didn't know you were going to set anything on fire." The young fire lord took a deep breath. "You might want to tell me what you're doing here to keep me from killing you."

The young avatar made a mental note not to take anymore prank ideas from Sokka. "Listen," said Aang watching Zuko brush rice off his head. "You're going to see Azula right?" "How?…wait let me guess, Mai told Katara, who told you, right?" "Pretty much." "She's worse than Ty Lee…" he said to himself. "I'm going with you." The avatar stated. "Why?" He crossed his arms with a look of inquiry. "Oh… I wanna see how she's doing." "Oh really, what are two friends now?" "Are you kidding? Me and Azula, we go way back!"

Zuko stared at his prolonged grin in silence. "And what was that thing where she shot you with lightning, a birthday gift?" "We were having a fight that day…" "You are a horrible liar. In fact, you shouldn't even try to lie. Your lies insult other lies." Zuko grabbed his broadswords and headed outside. "I know you're going to try to find your mother. Zuko stopped dead in his tracks. "How did you-" "It doesn't matter."

"I want you to help me." "Help you what?" "Find my parents." As Aang held his head down, Zuko looked at him with sympathy. "You do realize your parents are dead." "I just…I just want to find out about them, who they were. What were their names, did they have any more children…" "Why would I be able to help?" "I had a dream." The prince realized he was serious. He didn't exactly understand all the spiritual aspects that went along with being an avatar but he knew better than to question it. He just simply said "Let's go."
