The Downside of being a Fanboy (of impressive bending)

By: Iroh's Tea Shoppe Girls

Disclaimer: Avatar: The Last Airbender still eludes us. Maybe tea for Iroh wasn't the best bait for our trap.

It was a normal day on Kyoshi Island. It had been months since the Avatar visited them, but it was still the talk of the town. Rumor had it that the Fire Nation's princess was hunting the Avatar now too. No one thought much of it, until she appeared on their shore.

Zula was tired of everyone treating her like a young girl. Sure her voice was high pitched and she a bit short for her age, but still, the Fire Nation princess deserved respect!

After disembarking from the ship, she stood at the edge of the village, and determined to bring fear to the hearts of the villagers she let forth an impressive display of destructive firebending.

Now most of the villagers fled, grabbing the small ones and getting the heck away from the psychotic young girl who was commanding fire, but one did not. A young man with shaggy hair, and a green headband was the only one not running for the hills.

The courageous young man stood his ground, for about a millisecond, before cheering at the wondrous display of bending skill and getting a little foamy at the mouth and passing out with excitement.

Zula had heard that the Avatar had been to this place. She decided that the young man might be of some use, as Avatar bait. She took the boy back to her ship with her.
