"Dang it," Sokka almost exclaimed as he and Ty Lee exited the clothing store.

"What's wrong?" asked Ty Lee cheerfully.

"I just realized we gave her our real names," said Sokka, "What if she turns us over to the Fire Nation soldiers?!"

Ty Lee frowned for a second but smiled again, "She's really nice. I doubt she'll turn us in. She probably doesn't even read the wanted posters anyway."

"Fine," sighed Sokka, "But we have to go by other names."

Ty Lee's smile grew wider, "Great! How about you be Mushi and I be Cho?"

"I'm not being called Mushi," objected Sokka, "It sounds like a name for a fat old man."

Ty Lee hit him on the arm, "I know lots of people named Mushi. How about Akira?"

"That's fine. Do you think this is the place?" asked Sokka sarcastically as they saw a building with a sign with the words Kumori Inn printed on it.

"Do you always have to be sarcastic?" asked Ty Lee as they entered the inn to find various people talking, playing Pai Sho, and, of course, drinking alcohol.

"It's my thing. I'm the sarcastic boomerang guy," answered Sokka, "It's the only way to get attention with benders traveling around with you."

"I see what you mean," commented Ty Lee, "Though you did catch my attention when we first met."

Sokka blushed and said awkwardly, "Thanks. Let's see if there's any room here."

They both walked up to the innkeeper as he washed the cups and asked about any rooms.

"You two are lucky that there's one room left," grunted the inn keeper, "I'll show you there." As the barkeeper lead them upstairs towards their room, a door next to it opened up to reveal a tanned girl dressed in a blue robe.

"Katara?" asked a surprised Sokka.

With Azula, Yajuu, and Mai

"So Ty Lee fell for a Water Tribe peasant?" asked Yajuu, "Why am I not surprised? Ty Lee was always eccentric and unpredictable."

Mai, who was standing there silently, looked away guiltily and pretended to be bored.

"It's true," replied Azula, "And when you meet her, you're not to treat her any different than a traitor."

"Like I would," said Yajuu sarcastically, "What are you doing in the Earth Kingdom?"

"I am tracking the Avatar, my uncle, and brother," she replied, "You've been spying in the Earth Kingdom for three years, right?"

"You are correct, as usual," complimented Yajuu, "I also heard of your presence and came to seek you out, which I have done. You know how I like catching up to old friends."

Azula smirked, "Then you might as well make yourself useful. There's a village under Fire Nation control that the Avatar, Ty Lee, and even my uncle and brother will have to stop at to resupply. I plan on capturing all of them there. Do you plan on accompanying us?"

"Of course, but I'd have to ride double with one of you on one of your lizard steeds," replied Yajuu. Mai's lizard snapped at him, "Yours probably, Azula."

Azula didn't say anything as she got on her lizard steed and Yajuu sat behind her.

'Please Ty Lee,' thought Mai, 'Don't let us catch you.'

With Ty Lee and Sokka

"Well, here's your room and it looks like you've run into a friend," grunted the barkeeper as he walked away, "I'll be serving the drinks at the bar if you need me."

"Sokka," gasped Katara. She quickly saw Ty Lee and asked, "Why is Ty Lee with you?"

"Azula saw me as a traitor and hurt me and left me in the woods," Ty Lee replied sadly but then brightly added, "But Sokka found me and I decided to travel with him."

"Where's Aang and Toph?" asked Sokka.

"Right here boomerang boy," came Toph's voice as she, Aang and one other girl came up behind them.

"It looks like a lot has happened," Aang guessed.

"Who gave you that idea?" asked Sokka sarcastically.

The two groups sat down in Katara and Toph's room and told each other their stories. Aang, Katara, and Toph were sympathetic about Ty Lee getting hurt by Toph while Mikko simply called Azula something that made Katara cover Aang and Toph's ears. When Katara talked about Yajuu, Ty Lee paled and instinctively grabbed the hand nearest to her, which was Sokka's, but didn't say anything.

"Um, did Yajuu have black hair that didn't cover the arrow on his head and black eyes?" asked Ty Lee.

"How did you know?" said Mikko.

"I know because Yajuu was raised in the Fire Nation and is the son of the Fire Lord's most deadly assassin," said Ty Lee sadly.

With Azula, Mai, and Yajuu

Yajuu barely paid any attention as the governor, or whatever the Fire Nation official in charge of Kumori was called, practically kissed the ground Azula stepped on. Yajuu rolled his eyes at Azula, a feat that few dared to do, but Yajuu had gotten annoyed with the politics of the visit. .

"Thank you for your gracious welcome," cut off Azula silencing the man.

"You are most welcome," bowed the man, "If there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to ask."

"As a matter of fact," replied Azula, "You can. My companions and I are here looking for the Avatar and a traitor. You are aware of Ty Lee's betrayal, correct?"

"Of course," said the man, "It's a shame that a young daughter of a noble should betray us as our nation near its greatest victory in 1000 years. I will have the troops storm the village in search of them immediately."

"Don't do that," commanded Azula, "To catch our enemies, they will have to be caught by stealth rather than brute force. The three of us will pretend to be enjoying the festival as merchants with Fire Nation soldiers as our bodyguards. When we find the Avatar, on my single they would surround and capture him. Understand?"

"Of course your majesty. Your plan is brilliant," complimented the man, "I will order a crack squad and civilian clothes at once."

Mai sighed, "Finally something to do."
