Zuko, awoke to Azula jumping on his bed. "Zu-zu wake up sleepy." She said in her childish voice.
Zuko rolled over, sadly summer was over. Which meant getting set to that awful earth school, He sighed and rolled over. Azula loved to annoy him. Looking out his window he noticed the sun was barely up. "Azula, why the hell would you wake me up so early?!" He yelled.
Azula just sat there for a moment "So I could get to annoy you early today." With that she got up and slowly walked for the door. "Although, you haven't packed yet, and we are leaving early this year." She smiled and left.
Zuko rolled out of his bed, and decided to take a hot shower hoping the steam would wake him up. His mind kept drifting back to that night, and it made him wonder what happened to the baby.
Azula had the guards pack her belongings into the air ship, laying about talking to the rest of the fire nation kids going. There Uncle Iroh, stand next to her, smiling as he saw Zuko. "Uncle, I'm too old for you childish gifts." Azula said letting something burn in her hand as she walked towards the air ship.
"Zuko!" Iroh said hugging his favorite nephew. "How is my Favorite nephew?"
Zuko smiled lightly. "It's good to see you uncle, it's been so long."
Together they boarded the air ship talking away.
Aang stopped by the southern water tribe, to pick up Katara and Sokka. "Come on Sokka!" Aang and Katara yelled together.
Sokka said something about meat and rolled over in his sleeping bag. Aang looked over to Katara and smiled. "Hey Sokka! Foo Foo Cuddlypoops is about to eat all your meat!." Katara yelled.
Sokka Jumped up "Not Foo Foo Cuddlypoops!" He flailed around wildly and fell out of his room into the hall. "You guys are just cruel." He said face first in the ground.
"Come on Sokka, we need to get going or we'll be late." Aang said.
"Well guess Sokka isn't in a hurry to see Suki, oh well." Katara said leaving the hall.
With that Sokka got up and started his clumsy day. It wasn't long after they set out.
"hmmm…..Fire?...no….Air?...defiantly not….earth?...nah….water?...oh, grrr! Why do I have to be registered under a nation?" a girl said.
She sat back, looking out the window. "So does this mean I get to pick, my nation….."
She leaned back into her table and started doing a sketch, working on a symbol. "There! My nation."
"Tsukiko, you're going to be late!" A voice called.
"On, my way sister Sayuri, I'm almost done." Tsukiko called back.
Tsukiko looked at her work and tossed it into her bag, she said her goodbyes and left. She was finally free. No more orphanages, no more paper work, no more working for free. Tsukiko was excited for Ba sing high.
The School was Named Ba sing but was actually close to Omashu. King Bumi was waiting, in the school court yard. The school was built as an inner circle which is where the school was, and then the outer layer was a square, the north gate separated water tribe housing from the Earth housing. The east gate separated the earth from the fire, South gate was Fire from the wind, and west gate was wind from water. Bumi looked over the great city sized school, and laughed. He could tell it was going to be a great year.
After what seemed like a life time getting to the school, the students started to arrive, signing into the registry. Zuko, meandered off the air ship, he was in no hurry.
Aang, jumped off Appa before he could even land. "Isn't this grate guys! Finally a chance to make a peaceful future! It's perfect." Aang said with his huge smile.
Katara couldn't help but smile, Aang was excited. She was to, she would be spending this whole year with masters of the elements, and there was so much she was hoping to learn. Sokka slid off of Appa after he scanned the Earth nation's students looking for Suki. "Suki!" He yelled, running off into a crowd.
Katara rolled her eyes; she was so not moving his stuff for him. She and Aang went to sign in, when they bumped into a girl was so pail it made Zuko look like he had darker skin. "Sorry, I should be more careful." She said bowing to them.
"It's all right." Aang said with a smile.
She smiled in reply and left.
Aang and Katara went on their way, and ran into Zuko, and Azula signing in.
Katara kept an eye on them and wouldn't let Aang go and farther till they left. She sighed and signed herself in. This year she had a nice apartment, not far from the western gate. She was hoping she'd have time to visit Aang, after classes and such. Every one eventually got there paper work and house keys. Tsukiko walked up to the lady to sign in. "It says here you are from the…What nation is that?" The lady asked confused.
"Well you see, I don't really have a nation, I move from place to place. So I made my own nation." Tsukiko said with a smile. "I'm sorry but you need to be part of an actual nation." The lady said
"Fine! Right now I live in the earth nation." Tsukiko said sighing.
"Right, well then, here is you key, paper work, and schedule. Your school uniform is found in the apartments. Have a great year!" The lady said handing her papers.
Tsukiko took a deep breath and walked through the main gate, to her right the Fire nation to her Left the air nomad. A smile spread across her face, and she cut through the Fire nation housing.
Zuko left his apartment and went for a walk to clear his head. He turned his head to see a girl with pitch black hair, and glowing blue eyes. In a brief moment she was gone. It looked like that Lady on the beach from his child hood. Could it be…..No his father told him the child froze to death. Zuko removed the thought from his head, the dead can't come back.
Tsukiko walked swiftly through the fair nation's side, so to avoid trouble. Once she reached the east gate she slowed down. After that she spent what seemed like hours looking for her apartment. It was nothing special, just a little run down house. "Well, let's make the best of this okay Kio." She said unbuttoning her shirt.
Her pet Fire Ferret popped its head out and scurried along. Tsukiko smiled and walked into her new home.
Aang and Katara caught up not long after Sokka and Suki had found them. "The water tribes are having a party tonight, you guys should stay." Sokka said
Aang looked to Katara "It's to welcome the new students and to congratulate the old ones."
"I won't have to eat sea prunes, will I?" Aang asked half laughing.
"No, Aang." Sokka said. "Just meat, lots and lots of meat." His eyes glazed over and drool fell from his mouth.
Suki looked at Sokka "Okay, meat lover. Come on we gotta get you unpacked before it starts."
"Suki, I already…..oh! Right, well guys we'll see you at the party, we have unpacking to do." Sokka said walking away with a smile.
Katara and Aang ignored them and went about the rest of the day.
