"The painted lady?" Zuko ask. "But isn't that- ,"
Sokka cut him off, "She left us at age 15 but she didn't run away - no," Sokka said , " She just wanted to help people without them knowing who she is. So, she decided to leave us with leaving a letter. Every time she help, she would be undercover. It doesn't matter what she became as, she'd still help. Sometimes she become those Gothic kids to help troubling kids or a traveling teacher to help poor kids . She became a spy,"
"Then, why did you call her 'The Painted Lady'?" Zuko ask again.
This time, Suki answered, "Because she 'paint' herself into becoming someone else to help. She 'paint' her face so, she'd become another person. She is the painted lady,"
Zuko blink once and twice. Still trying to process the information .
"And she only 'visits' each one of us three days in a year," Aang added.
"She already visited Sokka, me , Aang and Toph. Maybe this time, she'd visit you," Suki grins.
Zuko just stood there until a servant greet him.
"A present for you, My Lord,"
Zuko took it without looking at her. Maybe because she was looking down? The rest of them just ignore him and the servant.
"From who?" Zuko tried to open the box.
"She said for you to not open it until midnight, My Lord,"
Zuko stop from continuing what he was doing. "She?" Zuko think for a while.
"Katara!" Zuko turn around to face the servant but she was gone. The rest of the gaang turn back their attention towards the confused king.
"Happy birthday, Zuko," he heard she whisper.
"She must be near! This is from her!" Zuko said to the gaang and showed them the box.
"Then, let's find her!" Aang said.
They run and run but no Katara was found. Finally they gave up and sit down to catch their breath.
"What did she say ...huh...about...huh..the box?"Sokka ask.
"The servant told me-," Zuko once again was being cut off but this time, form Aang. "The servant is her!"
"Anyway... huh.. she told me... to.. open it..huh..at midnight..,"
"Then, just follow..huh..what she said...huh..open it...huh..at your room...huh..," Suki said.
Zuko nod, understand everything .
"Get ready, Zuko. She's ..huh.. visiting you," Aang said.
Zuko look at each and one of his friend's wonders what's in the box and can't wait to find out.
While up at the roof, Katara smiles. Just as plan...
-While in the other room-
"Did you heard that?" Iroh said.
While Toph smiles, "Something is about to happen,"
"Did you say something?" Iroh ask her.
"Oh, no. It's just that this tea is very delicious!" she told him.
YAH, IT'S SHORT... WHATEVER...,
