Alex: Hello People still readin. Sorry, it took a while and from now on i'm using 3rd POV. Sorry for the problem. I own only characters like Naphtal, Nephtys, Shinta, etc.

Chapter 5: Over before it really began

Fire Nation Capital

Naphtal laughed as she tossed Shinta sister, Amu, up and down as Amu squealed happily. Shinta stared amused as they played. Honestly the few time Nephtys had meet his six year old sister, she had ignored her. Seeing Naphtal goofing around and playing with the young girl was…welcoming.

Not only was Naphtal hitting it off with Amu, but Raiden and Takuya loved sparing with her, Shinta's father and mother were amazed at her political ideas and knowledge of their nation, even his cousin General Iroh liked Naphtal, epically playing Pai So with her.

One day was all it took for Naphtal to win there hearts.

The Problem with this? They were all things that Naphtal liked! Nephtys didn't like kids, hated sparring with people not up to her level, talking politics, and was horrible at Pai So! Shinta was glad they liked Naphtal; Naphtal was actually a person very hard not to like. But Naphtal was suppose to be pretending she was Nephtys. But Naphtal ended up acting like Naphtal and his family loved it.

Shinta's smile faded at the thought. Naphtal was great but Nephtys was his dream girl right?

Suddenly Shinta found himself flat on the ground; he sat up quickly and looked at the laughing Naphtal and Amu running away. Shinta couldn't help but laugh and chase after them.

….

Fire Lord Roku and Fire Lady Shula watched happily as Shinta spun Nephtys around as they laughed and joked.

"Shinta seems much happier with Nephtys than his letters portrayed," Shula smiled at her husband.

"I agree," Roku replied looking at his wife, "Nephtys is very different from what I've heard of here. If I didn't know any better I'd say she was a different person."

"Perhaps we should send a letter to Master Jinora about a possible marriage set up?" Shula asked as she and Roku began walking away for the window they were standing at, "At the very least we can talk her into a nice visit to discuss relations with the small nation. It's strange that we've meet all the masters but her."

…..

Naphtal and Shinta rolled around till Shinta had pinned her down, "Aha! I've defeated the Great Eastern Wind!"

Naphtal rolled her eyes and told him sarcastically, "Wow, the Crowned Prince of The Fire Nation has pinned down a poor defenseless girl? What ever will they think?"

Shinta blushed a little as he rolled off of her, "Defenseless my butt. Some people say you've taken down 50 armed thieves by yourself!"

"It was 55 and most of that was luck," Naphtal explained acting like it was no big deal, "People seem to forgot most of those were nothing but luck. I'm fifteen, not a super human. Nephtys I heard can easily beat my uncles now. Is that right?"

Shinta nodded, he enjoyed watching Nephtys and the airbenders spar, "Both at once." Shinta gave her a look, "Yet you beat her when you first came back."

Naphtal realized she had lost this round, "I don't want to be known as the Great Eastern Wind. I'll admit it, it's stupid anyway."

"My great-great Uncle Iroh was called The Dragon of the West," Shinta replied as he began yanking at the grass of the ground.

"He earned it and being called dragon is just awesome...But," Naphtal sighed, "I've always gotten everything easy. I feel like I really didn't earn the title. I can't even remember who gave it to me." She sat up and looked at Shinta, "Now, explain to me again why I have to go to that horrible play tonight?"

….

Republic City

Nephtys sat mediating beside Tenzin, Rohan, Meelo, Ikki, and Jinora as they desperately tried to ignore the cries of the children in the back ground.

"Jinora!"

Nephtys looked up annoyed as Pema appeared handing a little to Nephtys's mother, "A letter from the Fire Nation."

"For me?" Jinora looked confused since she really didn't deal with the Fire Nation as much as her siblings.

Nephtys raised her eyebrow as Jinora opened the letter and everyone looked at her as she told them, "It's from Fire Lord Roku and Fire Lady Shula. They telling me what a great time they're having with…." Jinora stared and looked at Nephtys, "With Nephtys and even want to know what I think of having an arranged marriage."

"What?" Nephtys asked confused as she grabbed the little, "I've never meet them ?!" She studied the letter confused before a shadow crossed her face, "Naphtal."
