"Where am I?" Vivi said confused as she paced around an unfamiliar area of a giant cavern. People that looked strange and practically all wore green were everywhere. A person that was stamping strange pass ports was yelling at people and there were boats leaving out of the cave. She had no clue where she was and it was really freaking her out.

"I've been wandering around here and no one will talk to me! I know I'm not dreaming and I know I'm not being tricked…" Vivi started listening to a few people sitting by her.

"Did you hear? The avatar has returned; maybe there is some hope."

The confused teenager started walking again. "Avatar? That sounds like that show Will is always watching… But that can't be, can it?" Vivi looked up when she bumped into someone; she froze when she saw who it was. The confused expression she'd been wearing for the past hour was gone and a shocked glare formed.

"Excuse me young, miss?" An old man said kindly. "My nephew is very clumsy."

The boy she was staring at had short black hair and a vivid scar across his left eye, wearing about the same thing as everyone else. What a shocker.

"What are you staring at?" He said coldly.

Vivi realized what she was doing and walked away. "This is the avatar world…This can't be happening." She said to herself. As she walked over to an empty bench she thought over the facts; but then looked up to see if she could spot that boy again. She recognized him from somewhere… That TV show of Will's, but she couldn't put her finger on it. When she found him and the old man in a line behind the boats she stared at him. There was something important…something she should remember about him that her sister had told her about.

"What is going on?" She said quietly. Vivi looked away quickly when the boy looked over when he saw her staring. The man looked at him and then her and said something to him that she couldn't hear from that distance. He was shaking his head and yelling something. Then the man started walking in her direction. Vivi panicked, she got up to walk away but was too late.

"Miss, I couldn't help but notice you seem to be in some kind of distress. My name is Gee."

Vivi looked around. "Well, that seems to be the thing around here.

The old man stroked his long white beard and chuckled. "Yes, well, you seemed intriguingly different. But don't mind me;I'm just an old man who talks too much."

She moved her head to one side. "How am I different?"

"Sitting here all by yourself, bumping into people without a word. You seemed to be troubled in another way. Oh, and well your clothes are a story all in themselves."

Vivi looked down at her ripped jeans and T-shirt. "Yeah, I suppose that's me. My name's Vivi."

Gee smiled a kind grin. "Nice to meet you; do you have a place you are heading, Vivi?"

"No. I'm kind of lost." She said stubbornly.

He bowed his head. "Then I invite you to join me and my nephew Lee. Come." He started walking toward the line again, Vivi following. When they reached Lee the boy ignored her presence totally.

"Uncle, what is she doing here?!" He spat.

Vivi then noticed how short the man was, being a good foot and a half shorter than the boy.

"Nephew, be polite. Have I not taught you anything over the years?"

Lee made an annoyed glare. "We are not in the position to be bringing on stragglers!"

Vivi stood there looking the two over. Starting to get annoyed by the boy. "You know what?" She spat. "I really don't want to bother you Sir." She said to the old man. "I know when a stuck up jerk doesn't want me around." She shot a glare to the boy and walked away. People like that have never been her forte to deal with.

He stood there dumb struck for a moment. His uncle whispered something to him as she walked away. The boy growled in annoyance, but strode over and pulled her to face to face view. "You are going to come with us, but only because my uncle thinks it's for the best. But don't think you can speak to me like that again!"

Vivi shrugged out of his grip. "Says who? You're Uncle seems to be the only one who deserves any sort of kindness in my opinion! I can see it written all over you!"

"Uncle, how could you invite some stranger that's insulting me?"

His uncle was frowning. "Actually I agree with her. You two seem to have a lot in common." He smiled. "Miss Vivi, you may stay with us as long as you please."

The girl calmed down sticking her hands in her jean pockets. "Thanks but I don't think I'm wanted. I have to go find my sisters." She turned and walked away.

"You see Zuko, she's looking for someone. We should help her. You know it's the right thing to do."

The boy frowned thinking about being alone. It brought back bad memories.

"Vivi!" He said running up to her. "Stop!"

She kept walking.

"Please! Just stop!"

Vivi turned around to see the annoying boy again. "What?"

He sighed, "I'm sorry about how I acted… I know what it's like to lose someone. And my uncle and I would like you to travel with us." He mumbled.

She smirked at the expression on his face. "Guilt got you huh?" She smiled. "Fine, I'll come." She started walking. "But only cuz' your uncle is so nice."

Lee glared at her. "She is too much like me." He whispered.

Vivi walked up to Gee as the line came to a close end.

"Ah, you decided to join us, marvelous. Come, we need to board the boat before it leaves." The three then walked onto the dock and set foot onto the big wooden boat.

Later Vivi wandered around a bit exploring the odd ship. It was still amazing that she was even here. It was so different, the thought couldn't settle that she wasn't home…

"Um, Lee?" The girl said a bit un-surly as she walked over and leaned on the railing of the ship, joining him.

"Yeah?" He said in his deep rough voice.

She wasn't really sure if she wanted to ask him anything with the attitude she'd given him before, everything was new here.

"I heard your uncle call you Zuko before—" He cut her off grabbing her by the mouth.

"So you know who I am?" He said infuriated in a single moment.

Vivi tried to pull his hand off of her mouth. He let go. "What are you talking about?" She said confused.

"You don't know who I am?" He said, realizing he knew about as much as she did.

"No, what are you talking about? I was just wondering why you are covering up your name!"

He grabbed her wrist and took her over by the bow of the ship. She then tore her hand away.

"Why I do is none of your business. What I don't understand is why you don't know. But I suppose that is for the better."

She crossed her arms, "Are you some kind of criminal or something?"

"No, it's none of your business!" He said. "I don't have to explain anything."

She grunted, "Fine neither do I."

A bit later Vivi was sitting against the railing, thinking on how she was going to get back home. If she even could. Though truthfully she knew she didn't really want to go home. Except for the thought of her sisters.

'Why do I have to be like that? They are my family, I lost mom, I don't want to lose them either… Maybe they're here too… How can this be happening?' She stopped when she heard her stomach growl. Remembering that she hadn't ate anything in hours. With this thought she got up to go find her two new companions. But saw they were just in sight. "Um, Gee?"

"What is it Vivi?" He said as he walked up with a cup of tea in his hands.

She shuffled her feet. Asking for things wasn't her strong point. "… How do you get food around here?" Her stomach gurgled once again.

The old man chuckled, but frowned right after he turned to his nephew. "We don't have very much food. We may have a few pieces of bread left."

"Here." Lee said, mumbling under his breath.

Vivi tried to notice that he was 'trying' to be nice.

She smiled and found a seat away from him. If they were going to be traveling together, might as well give him his space while he could get it.

It wasn't too long until a shaggy haired boy sat down next to her. He looked like the type Vivi kicked where it hurts back home.

"Hey."

The smooth type. Here it goes.

"Hi." Vivi put the last bit of her bread in her mouth. Looking dissatisfied at her empty hands.

He pulled a piece of bread out of a leather bag and handed it to her. "The name's Jet."

"Um, thanks." Vivi took a bit off of it but looked at it suspiciously. "It's not poisoned or anything right?"

Jet glanced at her and took a bite strait out of it.

Taking a short laugh Vivi popped her bite in and started eating it from the non spit on end.

"So you heading to Ba Sing Se?"

Vivi nodded. She had never been really fond of telling people about herself.

"Not much of a talker huh?"

She swallowed. "You have bad boy written all over you."

"Well I'm glad you noticed right off. We can avoid the messy misunderstanding that comes later on."

Vivi laughed again. "Why do you think there will be a later on? I don't know you. And I've had my fill of new faces today."

"So are you traveling with your grandfather and cousin or something?"

She shook her head. What was this guy trying to get at?

"Kind of an odd trio you've got going then."

Jet was talking calmly. Like he talked to this girl a million times.

"So, Jet. Are you like a loner or do you just like traveling alone?"

He gave an odd look, not understanding her exactly. "Well, I've found it better to take it alone recently. Kind of a new thing I'm trying out."

"Uh hu. Sure. So what made you decide that I was worth talking to?"

"Well, you looked like you could use some company, since you weren't sitting with your other companions over there and I get tired of not having someone to talk to."

Vivi decided it wasn't worth thinking this guy was up to no good. So she let him sit there, and keep on talking. It wasn't too long until he started asking about the Uncle and his nephew that she was getting annoyed.

"So you three don't look like you're from around here. Where are you traveling from?"

She didn't get the chance to avoid his question. Li walked over to them from across the ship, Jet was eyeing him directly now. He had been glancing over at them whenever he brought them up in his prying conversations.

"Hey Vivi, would you mind taking a walk?" He paused at his gesture. Vivi was still curious as to why he had such bad people skills.

Li didn't even look at Jet the whole time. But when he did it was a glare.

"Oh I see. So you're the protective type huh? That's fine, I've got to catch some sleep anyway." Jet returned the glare and walked off.

Vivi took a weary glance back at Jet. "Thanks. That guy looked like a total creep."

"You shouldn't talk to too many people you don't know. Get yourself in trouble." Li said in a detached voice.

She tried to look him in the eye, but he wouldn't return it. "I can keep out of trouble fine. So, are we going for that walk or were you kidding?"

Li smirked. "I was kidding."
