Here are some essential questions left behind last time:
Will Zuko and Katara continue to deepen their relationship, or will the reappearance of Jet put a strain on their budding relationship?
Suki has told Sokka about Long Feng, and Azula and her gang. But it seems Aang already knows...what will happen? Will Long Feng and Azula plotting together stop their escape?
Also, will Suki recover? Or will she join Yue in the sky? How will Sokka cope?
What about Zuko and Iroh? Will they blow their cover and leave with Aang and the rest?
What about telling the Earth King about the eclipse? If he doesn't know and Bae Sing Sae falls, what will happen to the world?
And you know the inevitable...willl Aang survive the battle between him and Ozai? But before he gets there, what will happen?
Betrayal, death, wounds, sacrifice?
Katara was walking along the main street towards Zuko and Iroh's apartment. She was deep in thought thinking about the kiss she and Zuko had shared the night before. Did he mean anything by it? Or was it his uncle's doing? I'm so confused. I know I have a bit of feelings toward him, that I've never experienced before. Except with Jet.
"Hey hot stuff, what's kicking?" came a deep voice, breaking in to her thoughts.
Katara jerked her mind out of her thoughts and saw Jet lounging in front of a shop window.
"JET--" shouted Katara. But Jet was too fast for her. He quickly covered her mouth and whispered in her ear, "Shh---I'm on surveillance."
"Surveillance?!?" whispered Katara as she and Jet walked toward a private spot.
"Yep...I suspect some of the refugees I came with on a boat are actually Fire Nation planning to infiltrate the Earth Kingdom." said Jet softly. "But you distracted me...I wanted to say I'm sorry. And that I still like you..." said Jet, before kissing Katara's surprised mouth.
"What?!?" said Katara, as Jet kissed her. She raised her hand and smacked him. It had felt totally wrong. More wrong, than Zuko's kiss the night before.
"You don't know me anymore, Jet. We can never go back to that. I've changed, and I've discovered who you really are. I can't say I like you anymore...because I don't. If you try that again, I promise, I will hurt you." said Katara, softly and angrily.
Jet was speechless. But he knew better than to try it again. He remembered the time he was ecased in frozen ice by Katara.
"So that's how you're going to play it. Fine." said Jet, angrily. He watched Katara as she walked toward the very apartment building he had been watching earlier! What?!? What business does she have there? he thought, surprised again.
He watched as Katara rang the bell, and saw Zuko open the door and Katara step in. She's fallen for Fire Nation! Yeah that must be it! How could she? Does she know he's Fire Nation? She must have. I'll have to tell someone. Jet left quickly.
Zuko stepped back surprised as a very flustered Katara barged into his and Iroh's apartment.
"Damn it! That stupid Jet...wait!" said Katara. "Zuko! You and Iroh have to find another apartment somewhere else! Without Jet knowing! He knows your Fire Nation and he'lle expose you! I don't know why I'm even telling you this." she babbled. "But I--"
She was immediatly stopped as Zuko kissed her.
"Thanks." he muttered before disappearing into the small kitchen on his left. "Iroh! We have to get out of here! Jet has discovered-- Wait! How do you know Jet??" said Zuko turning around.
"I know him..because Aang, Sokka and I were rescued by him. We didn't part ways nicely though. He and I used to kiss seomtimes...but um...he was going to destroy a village just to get the Fire Nation out." said Katara, as she saw Iroh burst out of the kitchen and hurry into another room, with items that he was packing.
Zuko stood there, taking the information in. "We know him because he was on the same refugee boat as us." said Zuko.
Katara nodded.
"ZUKO! Now's not the time to flirt! We must go!" shouted Iroh from the back room.
Zuko blushed and went to pack.
Little did Katara know...some furious packing was also going on at the place she had just left.
"Snoozles, tell me again why we need to pack?!?" shouted Toph, taking out the stuff that Sokka was furiously packing.
"There's Fire Nation in Bae Sing Sae! We need to leave, this place is no longer safe! SUKI! How will she come? She's still weak...I CAN'T TAKE THE PRESSURE!" shouted Sokka, his mind traveling in a million places at once.
"Sokka! SOKKA! There is no pressure." shouted Aang. "You're being crazy for nothing. First of all, we need to sit down and process and organize the information we know. We don't want to make any hasty moves. Where's Katara?" said Aang.
"She said she was going to get some peaches." said Toph.
"But there are peaches right here!" said Sokka, indignantly. "Are you sure you heard right?!?"
"Yes, I heard right! Just because I'm blind, dumb Snoozles, doesn't mean I'm deaf." said Toph, annoyed at Sokka.
"Calm down. So, our first bit of information is that Katara lied and is gone. And we don't know where." said Aang, softly.
Sokka's face turned red. "I want to know where my sister is now!"
"SHE'S RIGHT HERE." said Katara, stepping into the room. "And she has guests."
Sokka and Aang turned to look. Obviously Toph, was already looking. ( LOL, wink)
"How are you? We haven't seen you in a while." said Toph, her expression brightening as Iroh and Zuko stepped into the room. (!!)
Essential questions to remember/think about:
So, the gang's all together again, eh? LOL
How will Sokka cope once he finds out about Zuko and Katara's semi-relationship...that's well not a friendship. (wink wink)
Will the gang get all the information sorted in time to make a speedy getaway before the enemies that are near get them?
What will Long Feng do? Will he sit back and set a trap, or will he stop playing games and act now...before it's too late?
When will we see the dangerous and conniving Azula? She and her gang are somewhere in the city...in disguise.
Will Jet hamper the Gang's attempt to get away? Or will he help? Or perhaps will he come along?
Also, will he willing allow Katara to be with Zuko? Or does he have a mind to try and be with her again?
Will Sokka be able to bring Suki along? Or are her injuries too grievious?
And last but not least, how will Aang save the world? Will he survive the inevitable battle between him and Ozai? What will the world do, if he doesn't?
All this and more! Next time!
