Sorry that it's taken me so long to update, it's because of a mixture of school, being lazy and discovering Naruto and watching about 5 episodes a day lol……..here's the chapter!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ty Lee left the village of Makapu after Aunt Wu's reading. She was given a small bag with bread and water that would last a couple of days. She walked for hours thinking about the reading. You will discover old allies becoming enemies, and old enemies becoming allies. It was clear where she had to go; she had to find the Avatar and his friends.
"Maybe I'll see that cute guy." She whispered to herself as a smile crept across her face.
Ty Lee sat under the shade of a tree to think about where she was headed; she admitted to herself that she hadn't thought about that yet. They could be anywhere; after what happened at Ba Sing Se, Azula, Mai and herself had been searching for the Avatar all over the Earth Kingdom. It would be hard, but she had to try.
She looked towards the setting sun. If there was any hope, it was looking for an earth kingdom town in the west. It was near the ocean, and hopefully she could get some information about where the Avatar was last seen. Happy with her new decision, Ty Lee stood up and flipped in the air with joy. As she landed, she realised that this was the first thing in days that she was sure about. It gave her a new-found happiness, one that she'd never experienced. She was going to help save the world.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ty Lee's eyes were heavy, along with the rest of her body. She was still travelling through the forest that was becoming darker and darker; she would have to stop soon. After a few minutes, Ty Lee found a large tree with a place big enough for her to rest near the top of it. She skilfully somersaulted, flipped and jumped her way from branch-to-branch until reaching her destination. As soon as she caught her breath, she lay down her head and looked at the branches above her, catching glimpses of beautiful stars against a black sky through them. Ty Lee fell asleep to the sweet sound of the wind dancing throughout the forest.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Her eyes opened to the sun peeking through the trees. It was already noon. Ty Lee swiftly sat up to look at her surroundings; she was still in the tree. As she realised how long she'd slept in, a sharp pain ran up her spine. She wasn't used to sleeping on something so solid and uncomfortable; after all, she was fire nation nobility. It's already midday; I should start moving. As Ty Lee stood up, she looked out to see an earth kingdom town, on the water too. If I get there soon, I might be able to find someone who knows where the Avatar is. Ty Lee jumped down from the tree and began her journey to the earth kingdom town.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was dark when Ty Lee reached the town of Kamu. Despite this darkness, the town was full of life and light. She walked along the busy main street with markets on either side. She was lost in a sea of people and noises, until she overheard someone saying something about the Avatar. Ty Lee's eyes lit up with joy as she got closer to the large, tall man talking about the Avatar; she wanted to find out more.
"Yeah, I'm talking about the Avatar! I've seen him and his friends in the back streets of Kamu, I think they're trying to come through here unnoticed. I don't know why though." The man started to walk away down the street, Ty Lee needed to get to him, it was her only chance of finding out more.
"Excuse me!" said an ecstatic Ty Lee. The man turned around to see a young girl smiling at him; he looked at his shoulder to see her hand on it. Ty Lee could sense his frustration and quickly removed her hand.
"What do you want?" said the man towering over Ty Lee. She wasn't intimidated by this, but decided that she should get to the point quickly.
"I overheard you talking about the Avatar and I was wondering where you saw him and his friends." she said quickly. The man just stared at her in amusement. "I-I've met Aang and his friends once or twice and I wanted to catch up with them again."
"What's in it for me?" said the man with a devious smile. Ty Lee had nothing to offer the man, she thought for a moment.
"I could work for you!" Ty Lee said happily. The man just nodded at this and leaded her towards an alley.
"I saw them this morning walking through that door there." He pointed to a large door that looked like a barn. Ty Lee nodded and thanked the man, promising to come to work for him in the morning. This was it; she was finally going to meet the Avatar and his friends. It was different this time though; she was coming to them as an ally.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ty Lee was surprised to only find Appa when entering the barn. He was sleeping peacefully and wouldn't be happy if he was disturbed. Ty Lee sat down next to Appa and stared at him in awe. She had seen him before, but not up this close. "He's the last of his kind," she thought to herself "just like Aang." Ty Lee felt a wave of guilt go through her; the fire nation wiped out an entire race of air benders. Was it somehow her fault? She didn't have much time to think about this as the large, heavy doors opened to four tired people. Ty Lee looked at them happily, while they looked at her in confusion wondering who she was. Toph suddenly realised who it was because she could see with her feet, while everyone else just saw an earth kingdom girl. She quickly trapped Ty Lee in a layer of earth.
"What are you doing Toph? She's not trying to hurt us or anything!" yelled a confused Aang.
"We've met her before," Toph said matter-of-factly "she's on Azula's side." After hearing this, Sokka walked up to Ty Lee and examined her face.
"She doesn't look like anyone I've met before." he said with a dumbfounded look on his face. Ty Lee giggled at this. "What's so funny!" yelled Sokka in frustration.
"You have met me before," she said "I'm Ty Lee!" After she said this, everyone was shocked and angry.
"What do you want?" asked a furious Aang. "If you've come to capture me, I won't let you!" Ty Lee looked down at her captured feet.
"I don't want to hurt you, I want to help you." she said quietly.
"Like we're going to believe that! It's probably just a trap!" yelled Katara, stepping closer to Ty Lee's face.
"It isn't," said Toph "she's telling the truth Katara." Everyone stared at Toph in shock; they then looked to Ty Lee.
"Is this true?" said Aang.
"Yes."
Toph immediately let Ty Lee out her earth bending hold. "Sorry about that," said Toph uneasily "you can never be too careful."
"It's okay," said Ty Lee happily "I would have done the same, if I was an earth bender that is!"

Sorry about the crappy ending, but it'd just get even more awkward-sounding if I kept writing. Hopefully I'll get the next chapter up quicker.
