Here is Chapter 10

Aang's birthday was tomorrow and he was still nowhere to be found. Zuko had officers all over Ba Sing Se, frantically searching for him with the Earth King's permission. Aang needed to be back before Ozai could harm anyone. Zuko still didn't tell anyone of the switch. It was too risky.

On the other hand, Ozai was not having any fun at the birthday rehearsal. Toph, Sokka, Katara, Suki, Zuko, and Mai were with him, too. They were inside the same giant hall where Basco's party took place. It was around 8 pm.

"Okay. Mr. Avatar, you will arrive in a fancy carriage. It will stop before the party hall. You will get out and see screaming fans being held back by guards…just warning you," explained the party arranger for the Earth King.

"Okay…"

"Then, you might want to talk to some of your fans and spend some time outside before going in. A feast will be open to anyone outside, but there is another party inside. There will be a guard with a guest list, so you don't have to worry about anyone you don't know getting inside," the man explained further. Ozai just nodded.

"When you're inside, you will have to greet each private guest that is coming in. Afterwards, your friends will read each of their speeches to you. Then, you will read your own speech. Then, the party begins," the man finished and smiled. Everyone sighed in relief.

Ozai was thankful that Aang had already written the speech before they switched bodies. Unfortunately for him, he still hasn't figured out the right time to attack. He decided he would do it tomorrow, the birthday celebration, since there is no sign of Aang.

The birthday rehearsal ended, so everyone got on Appa and flew back to their house. Ozai learned how to take control of Appa, even though Appa was acting a bit fidgety around him. The whole time, Zuko was giving him funny looks. Ozai noticed this, and began to wonder if he suspected him, but thought better of it because Zuko wouldn't have been able to do anything about it anyway.

Ozai had a dreadful feeling in his stomach when Katara came up next to him and sat on Appa's head. He still hadn't forgotten the close encounter he had with her just yesterday. He prayed that she wouldn't try that again.

His stomach did a flip when she leaned in and kissed his cheek.

"Tomorrow is the Avatar's birthday! Are you excited?" She asked. He nodded. She giggled.

"Good."

Ozai landed Appa near the house. Everyone got off and walked into the house, yawning sleepily. Except Zuko. He was a wreck. He was jittery, nervous, and stressed out. Ozai assumed it was because of the escape of "The former firelord Ozai." He decided to leave it and go to sleep.

The gang finished their dinner and settled down to sleep. Ozai wondered what tomorrow would be like, and if the Avatar would return once more.

Aang and Chen were tired, sleepy and cranky. They were traveling non-stop for hours, often escaping officers and the police.

Just as Chen was about to collapse from fatigue, Aang said, "maybe we should rest for the night." Chen sighed in relief, but then looked up at Aang.

"But your birthday is tomorrow. We have to get to your body in time!" Chen pointed out.

"I know, but from here, my friends are about two hours away. We should get there in time by tomorrow. For now, we should rest. You look like you are going to collapse." Aang said. Chen laughed.

"Okay." Chen said as they hid in a dark corner. Chen made small earth tents for them to sleep in. Aang sighed tiredly.

"I don't care what is going to happen tomorrow! The first thing I do when I get my body back is take a bath! Ugh." He said, brushing off mud on his face.

"Yeah, but if you get your body back, you wouldn't need to take a bath because this isn't your body…" Chen pointed out. Both of them laughed.

"I guess your right…" Aang said, drifting off into sleep.

This is probably the shortest chapter so far. Sorry. This is just a filler chapter. The following chapters are going to be epic!
