Hey, I updated...phew This is a bit of a filler...and I think the next chappie will be one too. It will kind of introduce you to the arc of the story that is now happening. The dialogue stinks...kind of takes away from the moment...but sorry. I just really want to finish this story, so I can sya I finished my first story. And besides, I really love this story...it is just getting hard to write the boring parts lol XD. It will get more interesting...it will just take time...anyways...how did you guys think the finale went? I think this makes Ty Laru possible...AND TY LEE IS A KYOSHI WARRIOR!! I am already writing a story about that!! Be expecting to see it soon! But they didn't really explain what happened to Azula, and Ty Lee and Mai didn't seem to care! AND WHERE IS URSA!! And they never really said what Sokka's endship was...and Chit Zang never came back, Bryke got rid of Teo and Haru, and made them background characters...ugh...so anyways...R&R

Ty Lee stared blankly out of the window as the carriage rolled along. Her chin rested on her hand, and she felt as if she was going to fall asleep at any given moment. Kei sat next to her and Miyako across from her. The carriage hit a bump in the road and jumped into the air. Ty Lee's head immediately shot up out of surprise.

The ride was very boring, and completely uneventful. That bump had been the first slightly interesting thing Ty Lee had experienced in about two hours. Why did the school have to be so far from home? Why did the carriage have to be so dull?

It at least gave her some time to think. About what was going to happen, that is. She wasn't sure how Azula was going to accept her or how she was going to treat her these next years. But she would still be kind to her. No matter have cruel she was. This was because Ty Lee had a bit of a plan. She decided that if she was nice to Azula, maybe she could set an example to her. It was always worth a shot.

Miyako sat calmly, rolling a scroll down so she could read more of it. That was why Ty Lee was going. She wanted to learn how to read, and other skills as well. Her father had always dismissed these thoughts, saying she was a dumb girl who didn't need an education. But she wasn't a dumb girl. And she wasn't going to be one.

The carriage stopped abruptly. Ty Lee was thrown forward and had to grab Miyako's legs so she wouldn't fall. The older girl looked down and smiled.

"It's hard to keep your balance in tight spaces, isn't it?" She asked playfully. Ty Lee grimaced.

"Yeah, yeah…" She replied, returning to her seat. "Are we almost there?"

"Actually, we're here." Ty Lee blinked, then instantly returned her gaze to the window. She felt Kei lean over her shoulder to look as well.

The sun shined brightly, several rays hitting the building. The school was increasingly larger than her home, but still outsized by the Royal Palace. Numerous columns held up the red shingled roof, and the entrance had to be made out of some kind of marble. Statues of dragons guarded the doors. Ty Lee smiled. This wasn't turning out to be so bad.

"How beautiful…" She whispered to herself. Kei and Miyako nodded as the door to the carriage opened.

"We have arrived." The driver stated as he beckoned them to exit. Ty Lee quickly jumped out of the carriage and stretched her arms and legs. She hated being cooped up in a confined space. The others walked out behind her without as much enthusiasm.

"Well, let's get going!" Kei exclaimed, taking the lead towards the entrance. Ty Lee walked slowly, taking in all that she couldn't see in the carriage. There were two fountains at the sides of the school, both spouting pure blue water. The columns had intricate designs on them, complete with spirals and twirls. She was completely enthralled.

It was not a long walk to get to the entrance, about a minute tops. The doors were very tall, even taller than Kei. Ty Lee stared at them for a moment, and then jumped back in surprise as they moved forward. It took her a second to realize that they were opening. A lady came out, holding herself in a very dignified manner. Her hair was grey and held up in a bun. She looked down at Ty Lee, her eyes boring a hole through her. Ty Lee tried her best to smile back.

"You must be Ty Lee…" She said precariously.

"Y-Yes ma'am." Ty Lee replied nervously.

"My name is Mrs. Cho. I am the director of the Royal Fire Academy for Girls. Please, come with me." She began to walk into the school, then stopped and tuned around, "And who may you two be?" The question was directed at Miyako and Kei.

"Oh…I'm her sister…I-I mean I'm her brother!! And this is my wife…" Kei blushed at his mistake, and quickly added, "…ma'am."

"Oh…the father couldn't be here? How sad that he won't see his daughter off…" There was a look of contempt in her eyes, as if she knew the relationship between Lee and her daughter. "Okay then, right this way."

She quickly led them through the doors, and Ty Lee cringed at the loud 'thud' as they closed behind them. Inside, the school was well furnished, with many pictures on the walls and plants. But this was only the main entrance. The dorms and classrooms were probably way less fancy than this.

"Since you are so favored by the princess, you are rooming with her and her other friend…the governor's daughter. Their room is the last one down that hall," Mrs. Cho pointed as the walked through the school, "Right now classes are in session, but you are to stay in your room until dinner. You'll learn your schedule tomorrow, but it won't be too hard to figure out. The princess has requested that you have the same classes as her."

Ty Lee nodded, but felt a little confused. If this was the truth, Azula probably was ready to be her friend again. Or she had something up her sleeve. She looked down the hall to see her room. There were about ten rooms, and hers was the last one.

"So, should I go in there now?" Ty Lee asked.

"Yes, and bring your things so you can get situated." Mrs. Cho bowed slightly, "Now, I must get going." They watched as she made her way down the other side of the hall and into a room.

"…Well…" Kei muttered, breaking a short silence, "She was…different…"

"Intimidating…" Miyako added, "Ty Lee, are you sure you will be alright here?"

"I hope so..." Ty Lee herself wasn't too sure. Everything was so strange and new…but surely she would be able to adapt. "We better go get my stuff…"

Several servants soon came pouring into the school, carrying all of her bags. Miyako had packed most of it, with minimal help from Kei and Ty Lee. Both siblings had been completely overwhelmed with all the clothes that were being squished into the bags. Miyako had just grinned at them and continued to pack. Even now, Ty Lee couldn't believe that she needed so many clothes. But then again, she was going to be gone for five years…

They slowly walked down to her room with the army of servants trailing behind them. The only noise that resonated down the hall was the bags hitting up against the servant's legs. Miyako held her stomach carefully, and suddenly squealed. This caused everyone to stop in their tracks.

"Oh, Kei! Ty Lee! Come here, quick!" She cried out in excitement. "It's kicking! It's kicking!"

Ty Lee jumped over as fast as she could, Kei right next to her. Miyako had sat down on one of the several benches on the side of the hall.

"What? What is it?" She asked, not understanding what Miyako had said.

"The baby is kicking in her stomach." Kei explained, "You can feel it if you put you hand on her."

"Can I?" Ty Lee asked Miyako.

"Of course." She nodded. The young girl warily placed her hand out and laid it on her stomach. At first it was very still. Ty Lee waited. But waiting was so boring. She started to lift her hand.

"Oh!" She yelped. It was as if a little jolt had run through her body from her fingertips. She quickly returned her hand back to its original position. Again she felt the vibrations emanating from inside Miyako. She smiled. For a little baby, it sure could kick. Kei was right next to her, his hand in a similar position.

"It's getting stronger…" He commented. "Maybe it is a boy…"

"Don't make assumptions so quickly, sweetie." Miyako reminded, "It could easily be a girl as well."

"Yeah, yeah…" Kei waved his free hand in the air carelessly. Miyako sat up, causing the others to step back away from her.

"Come on, we have to get Ty Lee's room ready." She said firmly, guiding everyone back down the hall.

They finally reached the last room, and Ty Lee opened the door. She gasped. The room was very spacious, and had a feeling of luxury. There were two large wardrobes and three beds, all with the finest silk bedding. The walls were painted a dark pink with white lining, which made Ty Lee even happier.

"This one must be yours," Kei said, making his way over to the bed that didn't already have items on it. He grabbed a bag on the way and dropped it on the bed, making a small ripple in the sheets. The rest of the servants came in and began to drop the luggage around the room. Then as quickly as they had come in, they left, and the three were left alone.

"Ty Lee, I'm afraid we have to leave now…" Kei said uncomfortably, "Papa expects us for dinner."

"But, Kei…I…" Ty Lee started.

"Ty Lee, you're scared, aren't you?" Miyako asked, "You're scared Azula won't accept you…"

"Yeah…" She admitted.

"Don't be scared. You can do anything. I know you can," She smiled reassuringly, "And Kei does too, don't you?"

"Of course."

"But that's not all…I'm going to miss you…" Tears began to form in Ty Lee's eyes.

"Don't cry, poodlemonkey." Kei said, kneeling down to look her in the eye, "You still have the necklace I gave you?" Ty Lee nodded and lifted it out from under her shirt. It had the original charm and the poodlemonkey charm attached on it.

"I've worn it every day since you gave it to me…I'm never going to take it off…"

"As long as you wear it, I'll be with you. I promise."

"Promise?"

"Hey, I already said I promise right?" He reminded, "But yeah, I promise."

"I love you Kei."

"I love you too, Ty Lee."

"And I love both of you." Miyako added, giving a kiss to both Ty Lee and Kei. Ty Lee gave a face of mock horror, and then smiled. "But we really have to go. Now."

"Okay, goodbye Kei! Goodbye, Miyako! Visit me a lot!"

"We will!" The answered at the same time as they exited the room.

Ty Lee sighed once they left. Why did they always have to be in such a rush? She wasn't going to see them in a long time…She put her hand to her necklace and smiled. But she would always have them…

Ty Lee jumped on the bed and let it soak her in like a sponge. As she looked about the room she saw that there was another door to her right. She got up and tried to open it, but it was jammed. She pouted and returned to the bed. She knew she was going to have to unpack soon, but she was too tired to now. She landed her head in the pillow and let sleep overtake her.

She awoke to sounds in the room and sat up abruptly. How much time had passed? It had only felt like a few moments. She wiped her eyes. A voice woke her up completely.

"Hello Ty Lee."

She gasped and turned. Azula.

I really like this ending though...kinda dramatic...but the next chappie is going to be WAY more interesting. I'm sorry if I disappointed you...I really needed to get this chapter out though...even if it is rushed. it will get better, I promise!!
