Return of the American Firebender
A/N: Here is the squel to American Firebender! Finally got the first cahpter done. Thanks to all the poeple who reviewed for my first story. Here are some answers. o-dragon, may's ankle problem is just the character, but the disease she had, I had had it when i was 5. I no longer have it though. Thank goodness! Anyway, just read the new chapter!
Chapter 1:
May was stuck in her room working on her math homework. She was being home school after being gone for about 2 months. She had caught up, but felt like a prisoner in her own home. Her parents wouldn't let her leave the house without one of them by her side. It REALLY annoyed May. May was in her pajamas. She wore a blue top with the words "Tennis player training for life here" and pants with cats on them. She didn't care. It was Sunday. The one day out of the week you get to stay in her pajamas till 12 or later.
"I'm taking a break!" she said getting up. She had finished her homework for the weekend. May went down the stairs, pass the kitchen, down the stairs to the basement, and flopped herself down on the circular couch in the basement with the plasma screen T.V. It was a huge wide screen T.V. with DVD player, VCR, PS2, Nintendo Game Cube, Sega, and surround sound. May picked up the remote and turned the T.V. on to channel 25. Catscatch was on. May turned it off.
"Can't their be any good shows on?" she said. She flipped through the channels. She ended up turning the DVD player on to Lion King. She still like this show, even though it was for little kids.
"The Avatar world was a LOT more fun than this." she said. May pulled the laptop up and started writing on her story. Well it was actually a sequel to a sequel. It was one book after another of a wolf named Tala that she had started writing when she was 12. She was working on book 5. May stuck a piece of Fanny May chocolate in her mouth. May out the laptop down. She couldn't write today. She hadn't been able to write at all since she came back from the Avatar world. Time seem to go by slower and it seemed to be boring.
"I want to go back to the Avatar world." said May. "Just go back there. At least it was more fun than my home."
Zuko was outside drinking tea. He didn't like tea, but his uncle had insisted. His mind trialed off to May for the who knows how many times for the past month. May had been gone for a month and it seemed like the whole ship was quitter. Zuko finished his cup and set it down on the railing. Zuko sighed. He actually like May arguing with him and calling him names. It kept him busy. She seemed to make the ship more lively. She might've been 15, but she knew how to get people to shut up. She also knew how to call Zhao names.
May got up listening to her pink mini ipod that said "Beware! A tennis player is in you presence!" May had all the green day songs on it and about 250 more! She crept out of the door to the sea shore. The ocean breeze blew her hair and the ocean sprayed her gently. May smiled. It was the only place where she felt like she could go back to the Avatar world. Her home now seemed strange to her. She felt different than everyone else because she was a bender. Though no one knew. When her parents had asked where she had been. She said that she didn't remember. Her grandmother was the only one she told. May touched the water with her feet. The water was cool, but felt nice against her feet. She sighed.
"It seems sp close like I could just grab it and go back, but yet it seems so far." she said. "The show doesn't even seem the same once you've been to the real place. The show is only little of what lies in that world. This world even seems small now compared to it." She looked out at the horizon. She could only dream of what Zuko may be doing. She closed her eyes. "Maybe I'll return and see you, Zuko." May sat down on sand. May felt tired all of a sudden as she laid back. Her breaths were heavy.
May woke up in the middle of a forest. It was near sunset. May got up; looking around franticly.
"Where they heck am I?" she said. May started walking in her pajama's. She didn't care right now. She looked around; hoping to find someone to help her. May walked till she came toa beach. The sun had set by then.
"Can't anything go right for me?" she asked throwing her hands up into the air. Something caught the corner f her eye. She could see a ship odd in the distance with light on the deck. She could her music. She could reconize a Sugi Horn. "Sounds like Iroh. Wait Iroh!" May said. She lit up her hands as much as cshe could. May punched them up into the air sending a blast of fire with it. "Please be able to see it."
Zuko looked over at the railing. His mind yet again drifted to the thought of May. He was having a conversation with himself in his head.
Why do I keep thinking about her?
Because you like her.
She's just a girl! Nothing more.
Are you sure she isn't like more than a friend?
She's ONLY a girl, Zuko.
Zuko, you think she is more than a girl.
NO, I DON'T!
Yes you do.
No, i don't! She's just a girl!
Whatever you say.
Something caught Zuko's attention. He saw flames rise into the sky.
"Who would do that?" he asked himself.
It's May. that's why!
For all I know, it could be just any firebender.
But what if it's May?
Zuko shook those thoughts out of his mind. Yet again fire flared up into the air. Fire flew into the air several times before Zuko found out it was a sign that somebody was in trouble.
"Uncle!" yelled Zuko.
"Yes, Prince Zuko?" asked Iroh.
"Ready the boats!" yelled Zuko. He didn't want to waste time if it was May.
"Why?" asked Iroh. "It's music night."
"Some one is sending a flare up into the sky!" yelled Zuko. "It might be May."
"Prince Zuko, we talk about this ealier." said Iroh. ThenIroh saw the flame up in the sky. "Well get the boats ready people!" ordered Iroh.
May was wearing out fast. Her breathing was hard.
"Must give firebenders credit for having a lot of energy!" she said. She could faintly see a boat slide into the ocean. "Yay! I'm going to be saved!"
The baot hit shore in no time. Zuko emerged from it.
"Zuko!" yelled May. Zuko had just gotten down when May came running up to him. May gave Zuko a Hug, but let go after a few seconds.
"I missed, Zuko." she said. "No matter how annoying you are with your yelling." Zuko couldn't help, but let a tiny smile sneak up onto his face.
"It's good to see you too, May." he said.
