Hello Again~ This is a One-Shot involving Jet and one of my OCs, Chia. The only thing is… This takes place after Jet was killed, a year after that, when the war is over. . .

Chia: My friend Mari does not own the series Avatar the Last Airbender, only the story and me! Enjoy!


Loving The Past

Chia's POV

I walked through the city, my braided black hair flapping behind me in the wind. My amber eyes glowed, an unseen force driving me forward. Everything in Ba Sing Se was peaceful again, especially after the war with the Fire Nation was over. But some things would never be the same. Especially if your best friend was killed.

No.

Jet was more than a friend. He was my love. My heart belonged to him, but now he's gone. Dead. No longer the love of my life.

He was killed here, and today was the year anniversary of his death. The rest of the people close to him, like the Freedom Fighters, stood outside of the walls of Ba Sing Se, already there. I made my way through the crowd, seeing many, many, familiar faces. As I lifted my head up, it was becoming nearly impossible to ignore the heart-wrenching feeling that almost broke my heart.

Longshot stood up tall, rigid, his usual silence containing more meaning and emotion than it had ever contained before. I knew what was troubling my dear friend. After all, it was troubling all of us. He glanced in my direction, and the corners of his mouth twitched in a slight smile, and I smiled back, looking away as the tightness in my throat threatened to make me breakdown.

I walked closer to the water, sitting down on the sandy shore. My feet dipped into the water, the cold water starting to calm my uneasiness building up deep inside of me. I held onto my bright tiger lily. It had been Jet's favorite flower. He said it reminded him of my eyes. Tears formed in my eyes, and I quickly wiped them away with the back of my hand, sniffling as I stared at my reflection in the water.

"Chia!" A voice called and I turned around, standing up and pulling on my shoes. The Duke ran and hugged me tightly, and I hugged him back. I smiled as he continued. "I didn't think you were still coming!" I quirked an eyebrow, and my smile turned to a frown.

"And why is that…?" I asked, and the Duke gave me the innocent eyes.

"Because, Chia. When Jet passed away you were heartbroken. We thought it would be to painful for you to remember what happened." I shot him a look, and he flinched slightly. "We were worried for you, especially from your reaction." I nodded, and bit my lip. I'm pretty sure we can all remember what happened. I thought to myself, and pried the Duke's small fingers from my waist.

"Hey look! The Avatar is here!" I frowned, anger rising deep from the pit of my stomach. Believe me, I had nothing against Aang. He was a good friend. But it was who I knew was bound to be with him. She had fallen in love with my Jet. I had hated her since the first moment I set my eyes on her.

"Hey guys!" Aang sounded like his normal cheery self, and another voice, her voice, soon followed with the same greeting. I clenched my fists, and Longshot was now by my side, his soft hand resting on my shoulder.

"Not here, Chia. You need to relax. Believe me. He's loved you more than he's ever loved her." His words shocked me. I cleared my throat, and smiled at Longshot, who smiled back, his hand slowly leaving my shoulder. I turned around, slowly, taking in a deep breath. Remain calm Chia. Don't show her that she's been the cause of your pain. I faced Katara, my head held high. Katara was adorned in a blue and grey dress, Aang in a more casual outfit. He wore his old clothes, red and orange with yellow, except he had the necklace he wore the day after the war was won.

He was smiling, hugging people, and talking quickly. He was still his usual self, happy, yet serious, wise, and child-like Aang. His eyes searched the crowd as if he was searching for someone in particular. His grey eyes rested on me, and his grin widened. He ran over to me, encasing me in a bear hug. "Chia! It's been so long! How's everything been? Did you change your hair? You got taller? You look nice!" I nodded my head as he spoke on, pretending that I actually understood and was following along to everything he said. I smiled, and he draped his arm over my shoulder in a friendly way. "Have you seen Katara yet?"

Bang. Headshot.

My smile dropped into a frown, and I felt a more angry feeling. "No. I haven't." Aang smiled brightly and pulled me along through the people until we made it directly infront of Katara, who was deep in conversation with Toph and Longshot. Longshot glanced at me, and he grimaced, knowing that all hell was about to break lose.

"Hi… Chia…?" Katara asked, almost as if she couldn't remember my name. I smiled back, and nodded.

"Yo." I waved halfly, and Aang moved so his arm was now around Katara once again. I frowned, and spoke again, directly at Katara. "So. What are you doing here? Didn't you, umm, hate Jet?"

She looked confused, then shook her head. "No, that was when he deceived us to believe his lies." I clenched my fists and shook my head.

"Watch yourself watertriber. You have no right to speak about him that way." I stared right at her, a look of pure hate visible by everyone nearby. Except for Toph.

Aang's eyes widened, and Katara's gaze turned angered. "What…?" Longshot quickly apologized, and pulled me away from the rest of them.

"What was that about?" He whispered, and I shrugged his hold on my wrist off. "Just leave me alone. I knew coming here was a big mistake." I held the tiger lily tightly, stomping off and towards the woods that led back towards the Ba Sing Se wall.

The sun was already setting slowly, and the path was barely illuminated by the full moon. I trudged along, and pulled apart my braids, my wavy black hair flowing like a river behind me as I hastily trudged along.

I gust of wind brushed past my face, a warm and pleasurable feeling coming from it. I stopped, closed my eyes, and inhaled deeply. Despite the loud animal cries and lemur screeches, I heard the voice clearly.

"That sure was something back there." His voice was close, as if he was speaking into I ear. I blinked, my fiery eyes becoming blurred from the tears starting to form behind my eyes.

I turned around, and nothing was there.

My heart sank. I half expected to see him, maybe there was a freak accident and the body's were confused…? No. He's dead…I saw it myself. I rubbed my head and uttered a few curses under my breath. After shaking my head I pushed on forward, down the path and closer the Ba Sing Se's wall.

"Katara was only part of taking out that Fire Nation colony and you know it. You mean more to me than she ever has," My eyes widened and I clenched my fists. I gritted my teeth, before turning around with so much speed, swinging my balled up fists.

"What right do you have to rub it in my face that he's gone? I'm going to bash you-!" My fists met nothing. It was if they flew through a cloud, the air 'whooshing' past me as I swung my fists rapidly. I opened my clenched eyes, the darkness surrounding me. I fell down to my knees, tears flooding from my eyes.

"J-Jet… I miss you…" I mumbled, tears streaking down my face. A gentle breeze brushed against me, and a hand stroked my head, someone crouched protectively crouched over my small form.

"Chia. You don't like Katara one bit huh?"

My crying ebbed away slowly until it had completely stopped. I looked up, slowly, wiping my eyes with the back of my hand. I blinked a few times, as if trying to take in what was infront of me. I yelped in surprise, struggling to get away fast. "Jet?"

I jumped to my feet, and shook my head. "No! You are supposed to be dead… So how are you here right now?" He smirked his crooked smirk, and took a step towards me. I raised my arms up defensively.

"Chia… It's me… Why don't you believe me?"

"Because your dead!" I shouted angrily, tears still flooding from my bright eyes. "There's no freakin' way your infront of me right now! I'm hallucinating your ghost up from being so depressed because you're gone!" I ran my fingers through my hair nervously, and Jet came closer to me. I felt my guard I had built up fall as he touched my hand with his.

"Believe me now?" Jet whispered, and his shaggy brown hair fell over his eyes perfectly. He spoke softly against my neck, his cold breath giving me chills. Cold breath…?

Jet chuckled, and nodded, kissing her cheek. "You're right. I'm not humanly here." I quirked an eyebrow and stared into his beautiful eyes.

"What are you trying to say Jet?" I felt my voice quiver. I really didn't need to hear that he was a ghost sent to give me some sort of crappy fortune.

"No," He laughed. It almost sounded like a melody. "Though sadly…" He pulled me close to his chest, smirking down at me. I frowned, and shook my head.

"Just tell me. I'm pretty sure it can't get worse than you being a ghost." I replied and his hands held my waist firmly. He looked into my eyes with the utmost amount of seriousness, and it scared me.

"Chia, I am a ghost." He whispered softly, and I could clearly see the blue aura surrounding him. Why hadn't I seen it before? Was I that dazed with seeing him again? He broke my thoughts by speaking again. "I can only touch down on earth every night when the sun sets. I only get to stay for half the amount of time of the night hours though."

I felt tears in my eyes. He's only down with me for three hours a night… Jet held my arms firmly, and bent his head down close to mine. After kissing my forehead, his lips traveled down to mine, claiming them in a long, loving kiss. After pulling apart, he spoke.

"I'll miss you,"

I didn't need much more explanation than that. His time with me was quickly fading away. He was fading away from me, literally. Jet's legs first started to whisp away as a blue aura. Next came his arms, and soon he was completely gone, the remaining blue aura drifting up towards the moonlit sky.

I felt my heart snap as he vanished right before me. I don't remember much of anything else that happened, but I do remember what happened right after.

"And I love you my Chia."

I cried the rest of the night, alone in the forest, the breezes comforting me. I glanced at my hands, my tiger lily blossom floating up into the sky after him.

My Jet gone.
