***So, i hope you all like it so far. I'm really excited about this story, I have BIG plans(: Enough talking, on to the story!

I DONT OWN ANYTHING!

Aang and On Ji

A Fire That Burns

"confessions"

"On ji?" Aang asked coming forward again. How did he know my name? Sure, he did look like Kuzon, but it was impossible. I would've known if kuzon was actually the avatar. Right?

"How do you know my name?" I ask curiously. Then Aang got a guitly look about him. What was up? I looked at Zuko. He looked just as confused as I did.

"Yeah, about that. You remeber when the new kid threw a dance party at your school?"

"Yeah, Kuzon. Of course i remember him, how could i not." I noticed that a smile crept up onto my face. I could'nt help it.

"Umm...well actually his name wasn't Kuzon. It was Aang." He confessed. I just stared. It was impossible. He had to be pulling my leg. Right? I wanted to say something but i was so awe struck by this that I wasn't sure what to say. "On Ji? Are you alright?" Aang asked. He was standing in front of me by now. Looking up, i couldn't help but notice his eyes. The same stormy eyes as Kuzon. It was true. This was kuzon. The first thing that came to mind?

I knew there was something diffrent about him.

I smiled, still looking in his eyes. He had gorgeous eyes. No, I didn't like him. I didn't know him. i had liked him when he was kuzon. It was more of a crush though. He was cute, and was nice to me. Unlike Hide. Ugh, I don't know why I ever dated him. Then I realized that they were still waiting for an answer.

"Yeah, I'm fine. So, you're Kuzon?" I asked even though i knew it was a dumb question. He had just said that. I just, for some reason, wanted to make sure I had heard him right.

"Yup. Sure am. Well it's more like Kuzon is me." Aang clarified.

"Well, now that we've touched base on who is who, what can I do for you?" Zuko asked, clearly wanting to get on with his plans for the day. That's when it hit me.

"Actually, I think Aang could help me with my problem." I told Zuko. "That's is if it's okay with you?" I turned to Aang.

"Sure what do you need?" Aang asked. the bear cub began squirming around and making little squeeks.

"Wait, before you two talk, Aang could you put the bear back? Before he gets away again?" Zuko requested. Aang smiled and nodded. I laughed to myself. Zuko then let the room.

"Come on." Aang motioned for me to follow him. I did. He lead me through a series of passage ways, each looking the same as the other. How could anyone find their way through this place? I would've gotten lost. Maybe that's why royalty always had people with them. So, in case they got lost, they had someone to tell them where to go. I smiled at the thought. Their own personal talking map. Soon, we were at a stables. It was huge. Every animal you could think of was here.

"Amazing right?" Aang asked, putting the bear in a pen made of rock.

"I never thought I could see so many animals." I had always loved animals. Something about them amazed me. they were so diffrent from us.

"So, how can i help you?" He asked once the bear was all settled.

"Oh, yeah. Well, you see, I recently decided that I wanted to find a fire bending master to teach me, but i didn't know where to find one, so i came here, hopeing that the fire lord could help me. then i ran into you and got an idea. Would you be willing to teach me?" I asked, hopeful. I had no idea what to expect. would he think i was crazy and say no? or would he teach me? He froze, thinking and processing everything.

"you really want me to teach you?" He asked. Wow, not the reaction i expected.

"Of course! who better to teach me than the avatar himself?" I tried to read his expression but it seemed un-readable. It didn't give away anything.

"wow, no one has ever asked me to teach them before. I've always been the one who had needed the teaching." He said, seeming amazed. "I would be honored to teach you On Ji." A smile spread acrossed his face.

"really? thank you so much! this means so much to me." I smiled as huge as ever. He softly laughed at my expression, which I'm sure was very comical.

"you're welcome."

*a few hours later*

While i waited for Aang to say goodbye to his friends, I causiosly walked over to the huge animal before me. What was his name again? Appa! thats right. i looked at Appa, and suprisingly, he looked back. It was like comunicating without words. I decided that i liked him. He seemed gentle. I slowly extended my hand. He reached his big head out to meet my hand halfway. I smiled, noting that his fur was softer than i had expected.

"Ready to go?" Aang asked walking over. I nodded my head. Aang airbended himself onto the huge animal. I went to get on myself but stopped myself when I realized that I wasn't sure how to get on.

"Um, Aang?" I called. He Looked down at me.

"Yeah what's wrong?" he asked.

"how do i get on?" i asked nervously. It felt like a silly question, even though i knew it wasn't. How was i supposed to know? I had never seen one of these before.

"Oh, sorry On Ji." he hopped off of the bison. He then picked me up bridal style and airbended us onto the bison. I couldn't help but let out a squeek. he just laughed. I sat on the huge sattle while aang retuned to his spot at the ropes. Soon, with a 'yip yip' from aang, we were off, flying through the sky. Wow, was this actually happening?
