Chapter 2: Lemurs that Destroy Sleep

Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender or any of its characters. (sadly)

Katara woke the next day to a small furry white and grey creature licking the tip of her nose.

"MOMO!" Katara sat up with a start as the small animal scampered away.

"That little lemur from hell, sent to destroy my sleep…" Katara muttered angrily.

Katara fell back onto her bed and groaned, wishing for some more sleep after she was awake for some time fretting about her nightmare. Aang was already awake and was working to load up their supplies onto Appa.

"Katara! You're awake!" Aang chirped.

'Seriously HOW does this kid have so much energy…' Katara secretly wondered and she gave the boy a week smile and started to comb her fingers through her tangled hair.

Aang gave the girl one more quick grin, and then went back to securing supplies. Katara looked over and (not to her surprise) found Sokka still fast asleep. Katara smirked and slowly got out of her sleeping bad and made her way over to her leather water pouch. Bending a good amount of water out of the pouch, she made her way over to her peacefully sleeping brother. A wicked grin spread over the water tribe girl's face as she positioned herself next to Sokka. Putting on her best acting voice, Katara screamed in panic,

"AHH! The Fire Nation!"

Sokka woke up with a start and opened his mouth to ask what was going on, just as Katara slammed the water into her brother's face as it rushed into her brother's wide open mouth.

*cough *cough *splutter *cough

"Kat-"

*cough

"KATARA YOU ARE DEAD TO ME!"

*cough *splutter

Katara looked at her now equally soaked and pissed brother with an alarmed face for a minute longer before laughing so hard she collapsed onto the ground, gasping for breath; her body racked with giggles.

"S-Sokka hahaha the look on your f-face was PRICELESS! Hahahaha!"

Sokka was not amused.

"Now THAT is how you wake someone up!" Katara laughed.

General Iroh of the Fire Nation looked at his nephew nervously.

"Are you sure Prince Zuko?" Iroh started hesitantly.

The scared teenager's fiery golden eyes narrowed to scalding yellow slits.

"YES Uncle, we will be docking in the Earth Kingdom NOW. I know the Avatar is here, I can feel it."

Iroh knew that there was close to nothing that one could do to change his nephew's mind when it came to the Avatar or his honor, and this matter had to do with both. Iroh knew arguing would simply be a waste of breath.

"Alright Prince Zuko, just be careful of-" an angry Zuko cut off his Uncle before he could finish his sentence.

"I KNOW UNCLE I WILL BE FINE!" the prince roared.

Zuko stalked off, his blood red armor glinting in the hot sun. Iroh turned when he heard his nephew's door slam and echo against the grey metal of the Fire Nation ship they were on.

"Will you?"

(A/N):

HEYYYYYYY. So woohoo fo' chapter 2. (LOL my rhymes I could be a rap artist not really) We get to see a little Zuko action (HOLA) and ya… so R AND R PLEASE NOW HURRY. Tell me if you have any plot ideasss cuz I could always change stuff around. Remember this is the very beginning of the story so things are still slow and being explained.
