Once again, I wake up to a splash of water, this time all over my body. Sputtering and choking, I sit up, and face my group.

They're facing Zuko again.

"Thank you for letting me join your group," Zuko says.

"Not so fast," Aang says, "I still have to ask my friends if it's okay with them."

Aang faces us in the remains of the temple. Toph is propped up on a pile of rocks, Katara's leaning over my soaked body, and Sokka's standing with his arms crossed.

"Toph, you're the one that Zuko burned," Aang asks the Earth bender. "What do you think?"

"Go ahead, let him join," Toph votes with a smile. "It'll give me plenty of time to get back at him for burning my feet."

I slowly put the pieces together in my head. Zuko must've done something to gain the trust of the foursome, and now everyone's voting on letting him stay.

"Sokka?" Aang asks.

Sokka slowly uncrossed his arms. "Hey, all I want is to defeat the Fire Lord. If you think this is the way to do it, then I'm all for it."

"Katara?"

Katara still looks angry. "I'll go along with whatever you think is right," She grudgingly agrees.

"Starr? I know you're new, but you still have a vote"

I glance up at Zuko's sweating face, which is much more attractive than me at the moment—I'm soaked head to toe! "Personally, I have nothing against him. All I have to go on are his actions while I've been here and your word. I say let him join."

"Thank you so much," Zuko exclaims. "I promise I won't let you down!"

The moment is kind of ruined when everyone but me leaves, though. Shaking my wet head, I gingerly get up checking for broken bones. I seem to be intact.

"Come on," I say to the new guy. "I'll show you to your place."

We had all picked rooms last night in the hall I found with the bedrooms. Aang Air bended all of the skeletons away, but I still chose the room I ran to.

"Thank you again for choosing in my favor," Zuko says as we walk through the tunnels.

"Like I said," I stepped over a skeleton, "I have absolutely nothing against you. If anything, my thoughts are in your favor since the rest of them were being so pig-headed."

He laughs. "So, I don't remember you from before. Are you new to the group?"

"Kind of," I think of how to word it. Katara had told me the story of how they found me, but I'm still having trouble putting it together. "Apparently I was floating in the clouds as they escaped the Fire Nation. I was unconscious, so they took me in. And here I am." There's water in my shoes. It squishes as I walk. I'm gonna have to borrow clothes from Katara. And I hate dresses.

"That's pretty interesting," Zuko muses. "Can you bend any of the elements?"

I shake my head. "They tested my last night. They tried Air and Water—nothing. They did their best to try Earth, but Toph wasn't there to really test me. And Katara didn't even want to try Fire."

We walk in silence the rest of the way to one of the empty rooms.

"Here you go," I say to him. "Home sweet home."

"Thanks again," Zuko bows to me. The whole bow thing still confuses me, but I kind of nod my head as I back out of the room.

"My room is right across the hall if you need anything," I mention on my way out. I can't be sure, but I think he gave me a genuine smile as I turn to leave.

"Wait," he calls out. "I never got your name."

I smile. "I am Starr."
