A/N: Hey people! I specifically say don't forget to review because I want you to review!
Anyways here ya go…
(picking up after li threw Zhao)
--------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Li's POV
"…3, 2, 1…crash!" I said as I counted down time before Zhao crashed head-first onto his ship
CRASH!
"He-he! General Iroh," I called to him, as he was watching "This means I win…right?"
"Yes it dose, congratulations!"
"(Smiles) Thank you-"
"Hey babe!" some-one called out
"Huh?"
"Over here!" He yelled out again
'Grr…great…it's him.' I put on a fake smile and walked over to Seiko,
"Hi."
"Hey babe, I have those clothes you wanted." He told me
"Great! Is that all?" I asked inching away
"No actually, see honey, after that fight, witch I think was great, but I have this thing…I don't date women stronger than me…sorry." He said trying to put me down
'Yes! Yes! Yes, yes, yes!'
"Oh…um, ok." I told him back
I took the clothes and went back to the infirmary. When I got there I set the pants on the bed and slipped the shirt on over what I was wearing. It was a little big but I could live for a day more with a baggy shirt. I put the shirt on the cot and picked up the pants.
'Yep. These will need to be trimmed and hemmed,' I thought 'Where's that doctor?'
I looked around the room until I finally found the doctor. He was sitting on a stool reading something. I walked over and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Hmm? Oh, yes? How can I help you?" he asked
"I was wondering if I could borrow a needle. And maybe have some thread…" I told him
He gave me a funny look and then said,
"What for?"
"I need to hem my pants." I said
"Oh, fine. Hold on." He said slowly getting up and making his way to an iron cabinet
"Thank you sir."
"Yes, yes. Now be careful with the needle. It is made for operations, not sowing. So it is very much stronger than a regular one. And here's some thread." He instructed handing me a spool of thread and a needle the size of my ring finger.
"Thank you again." I said as I walked back over to my cot.
: Time gap:
"There," I said holding up the pants proudly "Finally finished!"
I slipped on the pants (they fit nicely now) to see if they fit. They did. So I took them of and grabbed my shirt and walked over to a bathroom. I quickly slipped off my skirt and shirt and put on my new shirt and pants. I walked over to a small mirror…I looked like I was wearing pajamas.
I walked out of the bathroom and decided that there would be nothing to do here so I walked up to the deck. When I got up I saw some people cleaning and some people inspecting things. Other than that most people where gone. I walked over to the bow and stared at the tiny sliver of sun left for today. It was a goldish color surrounded by red then moving towards a yellow, witch turned into to neon green, that went to blue, to indigo to black.
I watched the tiny bit go down, leaving me and the crew in the dark. I closed my eyes letting the wind whip through my hair and blow on my face, ever now and then feeling a refreshing splash of sea water on my face. I imagined soaring over the seas, being as light as a feather…
I sighed as I opened my eyes and started up at the black sky. I let my hot back lay down against the cool metal deck, giving a slight shiver at the temperature change. Though it felt good. I stared at the sky looking ever few feet at the bright twinkling stars. If you looked close enough you could see a small little face in each. Looking down, smiling at you. I looked hard at all the stars I could see. Memorizing their faces, and searching…for a face, that maybe, just maybe, might resemble my mother's face. After looking at about twenty I found it. It was the smallest star. But yet its little imaginary face was the most happy and pleasing to look at. I stood back up still looking at the star. Then I heard General Iroh's voice,
"Beautiful isn't it?" He asked also looking at the sky
I smiled and answered,
"Yes, it is."
We stood there for a moment, gazing at the stars. Until Iroh said,
"Miss Li, I was wondering," He said taking a step closer "because tomorrow is music night…if you would like to join us?" He asked
"I would love to join you." I said
"Great! Well I'm going to bed." Iroh told me
"OK, I'll go also in a minute."
The tired General nodded his head sleepily and started to walk away. When he was far away enough I whispered to the tiny star,
"Star light, star bright lead us on this trip tonight….(yawn) good night….mother…"
