Pirates! And Leaving?

Alex POV

Why am I alway knocked out by the end of the day? Like really! Well me and Brenan were hanging in OUR OWN ROOM! when the ship changed course suddenly. It knocked my Ipod that was playin music ,off the table, and into Brenan who was playing with his dagger, and into me. So now a have a big cut on my arm! Stupid knives! We head towards the deck to see Prince Pouty get mad about Gramps changing course for a lotus tile for his Pai Sho game. I've always wanted to play Pai Sho so I ask him to teach me.

"Of course I can!" he exclaims. Ohh great I have a Pai Sho playing, tea loving, kook on my hands now! Great! Then he sees my arm.

"What happened to you arm?"

"When the boat changed course, Brenan ran into me while he was playing knives. It's nothing." Yup modest me, modest about the cut that goes from my elbow to my wrist and stings like a bitch. He didn't believe it was nothing so he took me to the doctor's room and bandaged me up. Then he began to teach me to play the old people game, Pai Sho.

"Finally! Land!" I yell as I jump off the deck and towards the ground using my airbending to land on my back softly. The soldiers that were going into town, Gramps, Princess, and Spark Rocks had to use the ramp because they aren't as cool as me. Brenan yells and runs over to me to drop on the ground next to me,

"Yeah! I hate ships! This is more like it! Haha!" he yells and bends a rock and hits me with it. I throw a couple small fireballs towards him and he backs up a couple feet.

"Hey! No fire blasts! They're hot!"

"No durr! And you already earthbended so no fire for you! Ha!"

"Well i'll practice my earthbending then! On you!" and he the flat ground below me to turns into mush and I sink to my ankles before he hardens it again. Iroh comes over.

"Brenan, let her go we have shopping to do!" he exclaims cheerfully. And we head towards this creepy looking ship. The pirate ship! Great! Well, the pirates start telling the head pirate that they lost the bald monk and the water tribe girl. So Zuko says they can help each other. And we are stuck with pirates!

We get back to the ship I grab all of mine and Brenan's stuff and put it into our bags. Brenan comes over to me.

"Are we leaving?" He asks me.

"Yeah bud, we have to. We need to go with Avatar Aang and his friends to the North Pole so I can learn air and waterbending. And then after that we can both learn earthbending together. If we don't go now bad things will happen. Sorry bud, I'm gonna miss Iroh to ya know." I finish sadly.

"Great to know you'll miss me," I turn around to see that Iroh spoke.

"How long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough. Now why must you leave us?"

"I need to get back to Aang so I can learn the elements along side of him. And if I stay with you guys to long, they will think i've turned against them. They probebly already do," I state sadly. "But I swear we will be back. And if you don't believe me I will leave you with something," I hand him my pocket knife from my world. "This is one of the last things I have from my world, you had better keep it safe!"

"Of course I will. Now if you would like, I'm guessing we will meet with your friends soon if you will stay with us. I can hide your bags on the small boat if you want." Iroh says.

"Thank you so much," I go over and hug his surprised form. Brenan gets up and hugs him to.

"I'll miss you more, big dragon," he says to Iroh. It about breaks my heart.

"We will meet again, little dragon." and with that he leaves us to pack. 'I will be back' I think, but I don't know about Brenan.

We are on the mini ship and one of the pirates comes over to hit on me.

"Soo, what are you doing with Prince Zuko?" he asks. Wow we gotta smart one on our hands! I am gonna have fun bullshitting this one. I smile and give him a humorless laugh.

"He is my way to freedom." i reply.

"Well if you came with me we could have fun and you could have whatever you like," he says slyly while running his hand down my shoulder to rest on my ass. "If you know what I mean?" he says.

"What's your name?"

"Pablo."

"Well Pablo, if you don't get your grimey hands off me, I will hang you, by your dick, to the highest tree I see." I see fear flash through his eyes and he retracts his hands. The he lightly touches my face, takes his hand away to punch me, then grabs his groin after I knee him.

"I warned you..." I say slowly, then I address Zuko and the head pirate who are discuss shit.

"Hey Sparky and Captian! Where is the highest tree around here! This guy is about to get hung by his dick!" and with that I take the hilt if his sword, hit him on the head, and knock him out letting him slump to the floor. Then I get one of the bigger pirates.

"Hey you got some rope? I need to teach this sleaze a lesson," I say. He hands me the rope, no questions asks, while everyone on ship stares at me I tie his right foot to his left hand and his left foot to his right hand, all with the same rope. Then I grab some more rope and drag the guy off the ship and onto land. Then I proceed to hook one end of the rope onto his hand, hang it over a branch, wrap it around his body, put the not tied end back around the branch and take one of his knives off his belt and tie it on to the rope. Then grab the other knife and put it in his hand. He hangs. When I jump back on ship I get the attention of everyone.

"If ANYONE puts their Hands on me at all the same thing will happen. Cuz when that guy wakes up from his nap he'll be stupid and cut the rope with the knife hanging first and get hit." Then I walk away feeling all their stares on me.

When we catch Katara and she's tied up to the tree I grab our bags and bring Brenan over. She looks at me and she looks PISSED. I shush her.

"Yell at me later, but we are coming with you cuz Princesses ship ain't to much fun." she nods in response and the pirates bring Aang and Sokka into the clearing. Aang apoligizes and the fight begins! Brenan and I start taking out pirates and Sparky's soldiers and we jump onto the stolen boat with the rest of the gang and take out more bad guys. Then we fall off the waterfall and right onto Appa! And of course they make me explain everything that happened to me since the fire nation temple. When everyone is asleep I stay up and stare at the moon, this will be my second day of staying up all night.

In the morning I go over to Katara.

"Katara? I have a feeling that i won't stay with you guys for long, so I need you to promise you will watch out for Brenan and make sure he doesn't get hurt. He's the only one I have left, please promise?" I plead.

"Yes, I promise." She says. "now go to sleep you look exhausted!" and she gets me on Appa and I fall asleep.
