Fedoralover23 Thanks for the cookies they were very good. It may take a little longer then you like but Tsu'tey will RETURN
TopKat90 Thank you for the review and advice, I may rewrite the whole story once I finish it.
17-child-of-the-moon-17 love all around, thanks for being my beta
T.E.D.S I'm sorry to hear that you won't be updating 'Healer' one of the reasons that I didn't leave a review for most chapters is because I printed them out and read them at home, when I didn't have time in between classes. As for Miranda I know she could have sent the money to Jake but if she had done that then this story wouldn't be very good, seeing as she would never had gone Pandora.
Midnight84118 I'm glad you like it. Hope you like this one to.
Mistressofdarkness666 Nice pen name, and I'm glad you're enjoying.
Soccer11 Yeah most story where Jake has a sister she's younger and I didn't want that so I made Miranda older.
Put a little love in your heart

Chapter three
"Miranda, is that really you?" Jake asked, seeing his sister standing in the doorway.
"Yeah, it's me."
"Well, don't just stand there, get your ass over here and give me a hug," He said with an ear to ear grin. Miranda was dumbfounded as she walked over to where her little brother sat leaning against the wall on a hospital cot. When she reached him he tossed his right arm over her left shoulder and pulled her into a one armed, bone-crushing hug.
It took less than a second for her to return the hug with all the strength she could muster.
"It's great to see you."
"You too, Pip-squeak," she replied, using the old nickname she had come up with when they were children.
Pulling apart, the siblings examined each other until Jake spoke up.
"Not that I'm not happy to see you but, what the hell are you doing here?"
"Well I…I felt bad that I didn't come home and help after you were shot, and when I didn't make it back in time for Tom's…" She broke off, took a shaky breath and began again. "I'm so sorry Jake; I should have come back and helped. Please say you'll forgive me."
"Are you crazy, Miranda? I won't accept your apology."
"What?" she whispered, fighting back the tears that wanted to fall. 'I should have known he'd still be mad at me,' she thought.
"I will, however, thank you," Jake began. "I'm happy. Happier than I've ever been, and it's because of you."
"I'm afraid I don't understand you Jake."
"If you had left Nigeria to help me I may never have taken Tom's place and I never would have met Neytiri. So you see, there's nothing to forgive," he explained as he gave her a quick squeeze.
Miranda was quiet for a moment before letting out a breath she didn't know she had been holding.
"You've no idea how hearing you say that makes me feel," she said, sniffing.
"Jake?" an accented voice asked and Miranda spun on her heels to see a Na'vi woman that she hadn't noticed before sitting on the floor, her knees bent almost to her chest so she wouldn't take up the entire space.
"Oh, I almost forgot! Neytiri, this is my sister Miranda. Miranda I want you to meet Neytiri, the Omaticaya princess and my mate."
A look of surprise crossed Miranda's face as Neytiri asked, "Is she the one who put you in the die'er?"
"It's dryer, and yes she is."
Jake's answer woke Miranda from her stupor.
"You little lair, you put yourself in the dryer, all I did was turn it on," she said, defending herself.
"Oh…that's right I did get in on my own didn't I?"
"Yes, so stop blaming me," she replied before turning to Neytiri and said while touching a hand to her forehead, "Hello, Neytiri. It's nice to meet you."
"You Speak Na'vi?" Neytiri asked.
"Yes, fluently. So you and Jake are mated?"
"It has been before Eywa," she answered with a smile.
"I am very happy for the both of you. May Eywa bless you with many years and many children."
"Thank you."
"I hope you didn't have too much trouble taming him," she said with a small chuckle as Neytiri raised an eyebrow ridge and Jake spoke up.
"I'm right here Miranda and I know what you're saying."
Her face must have looked very funny indeed because Jake busted out laughing.
"When did you learn Na'vi?"
"I had to learn the language and the ways of the Omaticaya clan in order to become one of the people."
"Wow, really?"
"Yeah"
"That's so cool."
For the next two hours the siblings talked, Neytiri jumped in every now and again. When Miranda's growling stomach became loud enough to be heard, she chuckled and said, "Well I guess I need to get something to eat before I go see my patient."
"You've got a patient? Who?"
"Yeah, like I said earlier I took my avatar out and when I did I found an injured male Na'vi."
"Really, what are his injuries?"
"Bullet wounds to the abdomen and a fractured femur. I gave him a dose of Morphine before I unlinked."
"Hmm, did you get his name?"
"Uh, yeah, he said it was Tsu'tey."
