"I hope he's cute!" Giggled Ming as the girls hiked up the back cliff to the Avatar's house. It was one o'clock in the morning.

"Shhh!" Barked Tung Li, stomping loudly on a rock.

"Be careful, Tung Li! I heard that The Avatar can sense people's footsteps just by placing his foot on the ground! He learned it from Chief Toph!" Zhu Lan said.

"Oh, that's just a rumor!" Ming laughed loudly.

"SHHHH!" Both girls demanded.

They walked silently up the cliff until they reached the forest behind the house.

"What now?" Ming whispered.

"We go through the forest. When we get to the back of the house, we pick a window and pray it isn't Avatar Aang's bedroom. If it's Kya's we'll say we're a friend of Bumi's and need to find his room. If it's Tenzin's, Ming will coo him to sleep or something. If it's Avatar Aang's, we run and don't look back, every woman for themselves. Got it?" Tung Li devised.

"Wow. You really thought that through!" Zhu Lan smiled.

They began walking through the forest, blindly pushing bushes and branches out of their way. Ten minutes later, they reached a courtyard.

"This is it. This is their house!" Ming jumped up and down excitedly.

"Well, it's your call Tung Li. Which window is Bumi's?" Zhu Lan asked.

Tung Li closed here eyes and massaged her temples. Her eyes then shot open and she pointed to the one on the far left.

"That's it. Hoist me up." Each of the girls pulled each other up so they were on the roof. Zhu Lan stuck her head into the window. She saw a short haired boy in a bed facing the other way. She squealed softly and turned to face her friends.

"It's him!" Her eyes lit up. "Who's first?"

"Me. It was my plan." Tung Li hoisted herself into the room effortlessly. Zhu Lan followed, barely making a peep. But when Ming entered, she tripped on a scroll and fell face down with a loud crash. Her friends quickly gathered Ming to her feet and huddled in a corner. Bumi stirred.

"You idiot! He's waking up!" Tung Li scolded. Bumi began turning over.

"I can't look!" Ming hid her eyes in her hands.

"Me neither!" said Zhu Lan.

Bumi turned all the way over and opened his eyes to find three girls huddled in the corner.

"BUMI?!" Tung Li gasped.

Bumi gasped and gathered the covers around his body. He was only wearing underwear.

The other girls opened their eyes in confusion.

"What are you doing in my room?!" Bumi whisper-screamed.

"Your room? This isn't your room!" Zhu Lan barked. "This is Bumi's ro..." She trailed off.

"Oh my god." Ming opened her mouth to scream. Bumi jumped out of bed and covered her mouth with his hand.

"Don't. Even. Think. About it."

The girls were speechless, each making silent peeks at Bumi's exposed chest.

"Listen. My parents are very light sleepers, for good reasons. If they even hear you talk at a normal volume, my father will be in here, full Avatar State."

"You're Bumi. The Bumi. I can't believe it!" Tung Li shrilled.

"Look. I'm sorry to let you down, but you can't tell anyone."

"And what if we do, Bumi?" Zhu Lan smirked.

"I guess you're forgetting who I am. Already. My father's the Avatar. You trespassed into our house. He could have you arrested. You're extremely lucky that you walked into the only room without a bender because if I was anyone else in my family, you could be dead." Bumi exaggerated slightly. Ming gasped. Even Tung Li looked scared. "So how about we forget this ever happened?"

The girls nodded. Bumi smiled coldly and motioned to the window.

"You better leave a thousand times quieter than you came in."

The girls nodded again. Ming was the last out. She turned to Bumi.

"Thanks for being so sweet, Bumi." She blushed. "And don't worry, I still think you're cute!" Bumi wasn't sure what that meant, but felt heat go to his face when she placed a kiss on his cheek.

After they left, Bumi closed the window and made a note to himself to never leave it open at night again.
