A/N Okay, this is my first Avatar story, so please try and give me a break. I would like reviews telling me what you think about it and stuff. Umm...oh yeah! And this is mainly gonna be a story with Zuko and my character, so I'm not sure exactely how much I'm gonna have in here about Aang and the gang. This story will take place before Zuko and Iroh were considered traitors and stuff, so Zuko still has his smexi ponytail and everything. This story will only contain minor swearing and stuff. I think that's about it.

Disclaimer No, I unfortunately don't own Avatar: The Last Airbender or any of its characters. I do own my character, the Admiral's daughter, who you will meet in this chappy and stuff. This part is just an introduction to the main story. Here goes!

The young son of Fire Lord Ozai and the young daughter of the Admiral of the Fire Nation Army, Shu, dashed through the Fire Palace Gardens, playing tag.

Although the girl was two years younger, the children enjoyed playing with eachother. Since her father was the Admiral of the Fire Nation Army, he traveled to the Fire Palace often, and most times, took his daughter along to play with the young Fire Prince and Princess.

Now, since the Fire Nation Princess, Azula, was mean, the Fire Nation Prince and the Admiral's daughter like to leave her to play with eachother. Azula had Mai and Ty Lee to play with anyway. What would it matter if the Fire Prince and Admiral's daughter went off somewhere else to play? It didn't. So they did.

As the children ran through the narrow garden pathways, they were laughing and taunting eachother in their childish, sing-songy voices:

"Nya, nya, nya-nya, nya! You can't catch me! Eep!"

The girl ran faster as the boy started to speed up behind her, his mind set on catching his target.

"I'm gonna get you! And I'll laugh when I do!"

"Good! Laughing is fun! Ahh! You're catching up!"

Just a moment after the Admiral's daughter said that, the Prince tackled her to the ground. Both laughed as they got up and brushed themselves off.

"Tag! You're it now! Told ya I would catch you!"

They both laughed again at the young Fire Prince's remark.

"Yuppas! Guess ya did. Wait! Do you hear that, ZuZu?"

"Hmm...I hear the birds and trees and bushes and stuff, PyPy. What's so special about those things?"

"No, you idiot! Listen! Someone's calling! Be quiet! Shh!"

"You're not being quiet!"

"Shh!"

When they both had hidden in the bushes and gotten quiet, a very distant, "Pyra! Come here immediately! We have to goNow, Pyra!" could be heard.

The Admiral's daughter, Pyra, started sobbing quietly. "I don't wanna go! I don't wanna!"

The Fire Prince, her only friend, hugged her and wiped away her tears. "Shh, now, PyPy. It's okay...We'll probably get to see eachother again sometime soon, right? We can play again then. I promise," he spoke softly.

Pyra gripped Zuko tightly, her small, eleven-year-old arms wrapping themselves tightly around his thin, but muscular, thirteen-year-old waist and her head buried in his chest. "I don't know...I have this really bad feeling that we aren't gonna see eachother for a really long time! I don't know why, but I do! Maybe not even for years!"

"Nonsense, PyPy! Of course we'll see eachother! Your father's the Admiral. He has to have meetings with my father often. He always brings you! I'll see you again sometime soon. I promise!"

She looked up at him, her eyes still wet from her tears. "Really? You promise?"

Fire Prince Zuko kissed Pyra on the cheek. "Promise."

Pyra sniffled and wiped away the remains of her tears. "If you really say so..."

Though the harsh male voice was still distant, it was noticeably closer. "Pyra, goddammit! Where are you? We have to goNow!"

"I better go before Father gets even more mad at me...You promise that we'll see eachother again? Swear it, ZuZu!"

"I, Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation, swear on my honor that I'll see you, Admiral Shu's daughter, Pyra, again. On my honor, I will not break my word, PyPy."

"Good!" She gave Zuko a great platapus-bear hug and scurried out from the bushes to run through the maze of trails to find her very disgruntled and angry father...
