The next day, the three famillies decided to go to town to shop. Ursa didn't enjoy shopping very much, but she was bored around the palace. So, she decided to go with Kya and her family.

"Well, it's not every day you see the Fire Nation Princess out shopping dressed like a commoner." Kya raised an eyebrow

"Shut up." Ursa smiled.

Kya shifted her shopping parcels from one arm to the other. She loved shopping, unlike her beset friend. A small parcel slipped from her pile and onto the ground. The airbender sighed and bent to pick it up.

"I got it." Said an unfamilliar voice.

Kya looked up at a tall, lean boy around her age. He had black hair pulled into a topknot and the Fire Nation's trademark amber eyes. The boy smiled and gave the parcel back to Kya.

Kya smiled. "Thanks."

"So, you like shopping, huh?" The boy asked.

Kya chuckled. "Yeah. Sometimes I shop a little too much."

"Ah." The boy nodded. "I'm Chu."

"Kya." Kya introduced. "Nice to meet you, Chu."

"Same here." Chu answered. "So, you're the Avatar's daughter, huh?"

Kya nodded. "How do you know?"

"The airbender tattoos." Chu gestured to Kya's airbender tattoos on her forehead and hands.

"Oh." Kya laughed. They stared at each other for a minute. 'Chu's kind of cute...' Kya thiought. She knew she was a nun, and dating is against Air Nomad culture, but...

"Hey, uh...I know we just met, but...do you want to come with me on a midnight cruise tonight?" Chu asked.

"Oh..." Kya was mildly surprised at the gesture. "Um...well...the thing is, I'm a little nervous about going out in the middle of the night with a stranger."

"Well, if it makes you feel more comfortable, you can bring a friend, and I can bring a friend." Chu suggested.

Kya smiled. "Okay."

Later that night, Kya snuck to Ursa's room to wake her up.

"Hey, Ursa. Ursa!"

Usa sat up upruptly. "Who?!" She impulsively pushed Kya down. Ursa looked over at her friend ad sighed. "You scared me!"

Kya got up and rubbed her backside. "Sorry. So I met this interesting guy in town today."

"Not interested." Ursa said. She fell back on her bed.

Kya huffed. "You didn't let me finish!"

Ursa sighed again and sat back up. "All right, I'm listening."

"Ok. I got an invitation to a midnight cruise by this really cute guy named Chu. He said I could bring a friend, and he's bring his friend." Kya explained.

"And let me guess: I'm the friend you're inviting." Ursa said in a deadpan. Kya nodded eagerly. Ursa groaned. "Kya, I hate blind dates! Can't you ask someone else?"

Kya shook her head, then clasped her hands in front of her. "Please, Ursa? It'll be fun!"

Ursa sighed yet again. 'Gah! I'm turning into my mother!' "How much do you know about Chu?"

"Not a whole lot." Kya shrugged. "He's eighteen, and he works with his dad at a furniture shop."

"And his friend?"

"His name is Kai. His dad was in the army during the last few years of the war." Kya explained. "Your dad would be impressed with Kai..."

"Oh, you did not bring my father into this!" Ursa growled. "Just because I'm the freaking Fire Nation Princess, I don't have to get my parent's approval of the guys I date!"

"Sorry." Kya put her hands up in surrender. "Okay, fine. I guess I'll go by myself."

Kya walked slowly towards the door. "Here I go, Off to a midnight cruise with two strangers. "

Ursa rolled her eyes. "Fine, I'll go!" Ursa threw off her covers and headed to her dressing room.

Kya beamed and jumped up and down excitedly. "Yay!"

The girls managed to sneak out of the palace to the beach. The boy waited patiently for the girls. Kya smiled at Chu.

"Glad you girls could make it." Chu said. He jerked his head towards his friend. "This is Kai."

"Hi, Kai." Ursa greeted. "It's nice to meet you."

Kai bowed politely. "It's a pleasure meeting you, too, Princess Ursa."

"Call me Ursa." Ursa replied.

"Are you girls ready?" Chu asked.

Kya and Ursa glanced at each other and smiled. "Yes!"

The foursome got into a canoe and rode to an island offshore. They got out and into a carriage.

"Wow. Fancy." Ursa commented.

"Well, we knew we'd be escorting royalty." Kai winked at Ursa, who giggled softly and blushed.

"Okay. But, just so you know, if I'm not back home by tomorrow morning, my dad's not only gonna freak on my ass, but he's gonna be sending out secret service to find me." Ursa said.

"Yeah." Kya said sadly. "My mom would totally flip out."

"Duly noted." Chu said to them.

The foursome got into the carriage and drove off. Chu offered a fruit tart to both Kya and Ursa,. Kya took it eagerly, but Ursa refused.

"So, um...where are you guys taking us?" Ursa asked.

"We're just taking a little drive around the island." Kai explained.

"Oh." Ursa nodded. She noticed her friend swaying a little. "Kya? Are you okay?"

"Mmm-hmmm." Kyaa giggled. She coughed and gagged. "Ooohhhh..."

Ursa's eyes widened with worry. "Chu? What was in that fruit tart you gave her?"

"...Fruit?" Chu shrugged.

"She sounds drugged!" Ursa exclaimed. What was going on?

"She'll be fine." Kai assured her.

Ursa heard the gasp, gasp, gasp coming from her throat. "You...drugged...the Avatar's daughter! Oh my God, do you have a death wish?!"

"Hey, from what I heard, the Avatar is a pacifist anyway!" Chu shot back.

"Kya's mother, uncle, and aunt aren't!" Ursa exclaimed angrily. "They and both my parents will kill both of you if you don't turn this damn carriage around right now!"

Chu ignored her and kept going. Ursa fumed and shook her head. "You two are so banished." Ursa kicked the door open and jumped out of the carriage. She rolled around the ground, got up and ran in the direction of the beach.

"Hey!" Ursa heard Chu yell after her. The princess kept running.

'It was a trap...damn it! I can't believe we fell for that!' Ursa thought angrily. Ursa kept running until she tripped over a tree root and fell, unconscious.

Ursa groaned softly as she woke up. She felt chains on her wrists and feet. She shook away sleep and realized that she was chained to a wall of a cave. She looked around to see Kya next to her in the same position.

"Kya?" Ursa asked tenitively.

"Ursa?" Kya croaked. She groaned. "What happened?"

"I think we've just been kidnapped..."
