There's always a turnings point in your life. A point where you realize something and change. You can either make the wrong choice, the ok choice, or the right choice. When i decided one day that i would help the avatar and not fight against him, i think i made the right choice. The first right choice i have ever made.

I dressed the water-tribe boy, and then slung him on my back(along with his sword). He was surprisingly light.

The was peeking out he edges of the trees. I sighed, starting to make my way to sokka's camp.

I wondered, as i made this certain trip, what had ever made me like sokka.

Sokka was not someone someone would expect to like. He is a young warrior from the south pole. He has absolutely no bending power AT ALL and he isn't the best with people.

But Sokka knows he doesn't have the bending power, and he knows that he's weaker then the others. But that doesn't stop him. He's become a master of the sword(which he beautifully crafted) and he is intelligent. Though allot of him plans fail, he keeps making new ones. He is not a good speaker, but i can easily see that ability developing.

And he is so damn beautiful. His rich tan skin reflects all sun light and makes him look like an angel. He has the best body anyone can have—probably because of all the exercise he gets during the day. He has the burning intensity of all emotions in his blue eyes. And what's better? He holds himself up with pride.

Know what all this has taught me?

I really need to stop harassing.

I finally came at the end of the forest, and their lay the beach where the camp was laying on.

The air, water, and earth benders were awake. They were in a fighting position, each have there powers in their hands.

I sighed, stepping on the sand and in front of them.

"What did you do to my brother?!," the water bender said.

"I didn't do anything," i lied. "I just gave him back his bracelet."

I motioned to the blue memento on sokka's arm as i set him down.

Aang gasped. "You're the one who took it?!"

"Obviously."

Toph growled. "You do know we're going to beat the shit out of you right?"

I sighed. "Or you can listen to what i have to say."

They starred at me.

I took my chance. My last chance..... "I'm tired of fighting against you. I have had....a turning point in my life? Yeah. So, now i wont to join your group."

They all laughed like i was insane.

"You join us?," she laughed. "What in the world makes you think we trust you?!"

"I don't," i stated flatly. I really hope this works.... "But i want to prove it to you. I really have changed."

Toph and Katara looked at Aang for help. The airbender glanced at me, then started a silent eye conversation with his comrades.

About 2 minutes later, he said. "We'll give you one chance Zuko. One. If you mess it up, you're a goner."

Relief spread through me. I let a smile(Note:It was not a grin) slide on my face. "Thanks. Like....really."

The earth bender suddenly hit me on the head. "Don't."

I thought that was the end of it. But then:

"But what really did you do to my brother?," Katara asked, not removing her glare.

"Like i told you," i said, sitting down besides the dead asleep sokka, "I just gave him back his bracelet."
