"Princess!" She groaned as she woke up. "Princess!" He banged on the door again. She rolled her eyes and went for the door. "Azula!" He shouted again and she opened the door. He went to punch again but stopped an inch short of her face.
"What?" She shouted in his.
"I was making sure you were ok." He watched her face get red with anger.
"So you banged on my door for ten minutes straight while shouting, waking me up and almost punching me in the face because you thought I wasn't ok?" She asked through her teeth.
"It's almost noon." He said seriously.
"Maybe I was tired…did you ever think of that?" She glared up at him.
"As your bodyguard, I need to make sure you aren't dead." He replied smugly.
"I was sleeping."
"You can never be too sure. Anyway, the guy controlling this thing wants you to tell him whether or not to land. You know, search here or keep going."
"Go tell him to land."
"But you're…"
"Going to wash up and get ready, do as told." She shut the door in his face. He sighed and went to find the 'captain'.

"She told me to tell you to land it." Jet repeated.
"I need to hear it from the princess herself."
"Fine, ask her, she'll just be mega pissed that you didn't listen." He taunted and watched the man's eyes grow wide.
"Are we going down?" Azula walked in.
"Yes, right away, Princess." The man glared at Jet, who just smirked in return and followed her out.
"They didn't believe you?" She whispered.
"Yep…I have a question?"
"Ask." She shrugged.
"Well…actually, I have two…the first one, when we find the Avatar, are we going to be jumping off any more cliffs?" He saw her smirk widen.
"Possibly…if that's what it takes. Question two."
"Did you mean what you said?"
"I've said a lot, be more specific."
"When you said I needed to try harder to piss you off." She glanced at him through the corner of her eye.
"Maybe." She walked into what looked like a small meeting room, only it was empty.
"Well, we're all alone right now." He sat on the side of her on the bench as she looked out the window.
"Yes, we are, thanks for pointing out the completely obvious." She rolled her eyes.
"Can I try harder now?"
"Only if you think you can succeed." She faced him.
"Oh, I can succeed."
"You have such a big mouth, you're always running it, but I won't believe anything until I see you do something."
"Alright, well…" He stared at her for a minute. He grabbed her chin and slowly pulled her face forward.
"You're taking too long." She whispered. She felt his warm breath as he softly laughed.
"Do you not like waiting?" He kissed her neck.
"No, I don't." She said in a bored tone. "Look at me." He rolled his eyes and pulled away. She wrapped her arms around his neck and watched him intently. She used her index finger and thumb to pull out the piece of grass. She saw his eyebrow twitch, but ignored it. She crashed her lips against his and he fell on his back while in the state of shock he was in. She pulled away and looked down to him. "You're getting there." He smirked and grabbed the back of her head and pushed his tongue through her lips as he sat up with her on his lap. A light moan of pleasure escaped her throat and she growled a little out of frustration.
"I think I just got it." He wrapped his arms around her waist.
"You know…I hate so much about you…your cockiness, you, but most of all…you always get the truth out of me." She sighed and leaned her head against his chest.
"Well, I hate a lot about you, too…"
"This could never work you know. Aside from the arranged marriage that I'll be taking soon, you match me."
"What are you talking about?"
"You are just as crazy as I am."
"No way, you fucking laughed after you fell off a blimp!" He snickered.
"You jumped down after me."
"That's my job…you tried to kill me for a joke!"
"You attacked me over a stupid piece of grass!" She glared.
"Wow…we are pretty equal, huh?" She nodded. "Hah…who would've thought." He shrugged. He grabbed the grass from her hand and placed it between her lips.
"This feels stupid."
"Looks it too!" He laughed. She punched his arm.
"How can you…" It fell out of her mouth.
"Amateur." He rolled his eyes and put it back in his mouth.
"You're so stupid." She sighed and stood up.

The blimp had landed an hour ago and Jet was the first to set foot on land. Azula was going over something with her men, so he decided to explore the woods. He used his swords to push aside the branches that came his way but stopped walking altogether when he heard voices.
"So if we attack from here…." A male's voice started. He peeked behind the tree and saw the Water Tribe boy talking with Azula's brother. The others were just a short distance away, but they were packing things on the giant bison. If he got back now he could still tell her they were leaving. He slowly began to walk away, but winced when a twig snapped under his foot. He squeezed his eyes shut and waited. He heard them shuffle around.
"If you come out we won't attack you." Came Zuko's voice. He let out a groan, he didn't want to hurt these people…he didn't know why, he just didn't want to cause them harm. He tucked his swords away and put up his hands as he walked out. He opened his eyes and saw their wide eyes.
"Jet!" It was the dagger girl again. She ran to wrap her arms around him but he took a step back and she stopped. "Jet?" She whispered.
"Who are all of you?" He shouted…his head was throbbing again.
"Jet…it's us." The water girl took a step forward.
"Get away from me!" He shouted again.
"You really don't remember us?" The water boy spoke up.
"No I do….but I don't!" He grabbed his temples in his hands as he fell to his knees.
"Jet…it's Katara." She walked behind him. "Think back." His eyes got wide as he realized what was going on. She bended water to his head. He remembered. Katara…Aang…Sokka…all of them. His eyes rolled back in his head.
XXX
Jet slowly opened his eyes…he was in a room…he looked down to himself.
"AH! WHAT THE FUCK?!"
XXX
"Hey Katara, I think your boyfriend is up." Toph snickered.
"Toph! He is not my boyfriend!"
"I still don't get why we're here."
"The last time my father came here was when my family was actually happy." The fire prince sighed. "That was a long time ago." They heard a thud and all ran in the direction it came in. Jet was throwing his armor on the ground.
"Why am I wearing this?" He shouted as he pointed to the armor. "And you!" He pointed his finger at Zuko, who gulped.
"No, he's good now." Sokka smiled.
"My ass!"
"Jet…don't you remember? You were a soldier for Azula."
"Azula…where is she?"
"Um….why?" Sokka cocked his eyebrow at him.
"I just…she's the princess!"
"No kidding." Zuko rolled his eyes.
"Hey! You aren't answering any questions for me!" He snapped. "Where is Azula?"
"She's going to kill us all and you're worried about her?" Smellerbee asked.
"I'm not worried about her!" He glared. "I need to find her!"
"Will you help us with the invasion?" Sokka stepped forward.
"I'm so confused…you need to bring me back to her."
"Why?" Zuko asked.
"I already told you not to talk to me, Fire Boy!" He barked and Zuko snarled. "I was…I fought for the Fire Nation…then I became Azula's protector…Fire Lord Ozai had me become her bodyguard…she'll come back for me and end up finding you if I don't get out of here!" He stood up.
"Do you want to go back?" Katara put a hand on his shoulder.
"No of course…maybe…I don't know! I just don't fucking know!" He threw the small table across the room and at a wall.
"And he's not crazy." Sokka rolled his eyes.
"She trusts me…" He whispered.
"What?" Toph asked.
"She trusts me…you guys just need to, too." They stared at him.
"Jet, we can stop her together." Aang looked up to him.
"But I don't know if I want to…look, will you take me back there or am I going back alone?"
"We'll take you." Zuko sighed. "Appa can fly you to the camp." He nodded; never in his life had he been so confused. He glanced at the armor he threw on the floor…he was going against everything he believed in, but he closed his eyes and put it on. She couldn't find out that he regained his memory…that he knew what he knew about the Avatar.
"Aang…I need to talk to you." Aang nodded and stepped forward. "Alone." He glared at everyone that stood in the doorway. "Azula only wants her brother; the Fire Lord is waiting for you…" He frowned. "I don't know how to stop it anymore…I don't know myself."
"I thought you remembered."
"I do remember…a lot has happened in the last few months…I fought for something I once hated…I lo…never mind." He stood up. "I need to get out of here."

"He isn't coming back." She growled.
"Are we still leaving for the Fire Nation, Princess?" A soldier asked.
"Yes, get ready now." She heard his footsteps grow fainter as he walked down the hall.
"Miss me?" She glanced over her shoulder at the former Freedom Fighter. Her eyes held a glint of relief.
"No, we were about to leave. The Avatar wasn't here, my father wants us home…Sozin's comet is in three days." She smirked.
"Alright…" He gulped, how could he decide?
XXX
The next one will be up today. I really shortened Sozin's Comet, its onli like seven pages but that's because I only did the parts with Azula. Please review! XD
