A/N: Alrighty so here's the next chapter! Thank you for all the reviews! Enjoy! Oh and did anyone else see The Last Airbender trailer? SO EXCITED! I wanted to start jumping up and down in my seat when I saw it on my break at work. lol. But I restrained myself. haha.

Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar, just Serenity.

I sat there next to Katara until dawn. She kept glancing between me and Zuko the whole time, and I could tell she wasn't very happy. Whether that was because she was tied to a tree or Zuko and I kept looking at each other, I didn't know. Though I had a feeling it was probably both. She didn't ask me what was going on, and I guessed that she could tell now wasn't the time to be worrying about that stuff.

I looked over as I heard footsteps coming closer. Finally the pirates had come back with Aang and Sokka tied up.

"Nice work." Zuko said, and I stayed over by Katara. I didn't want any part of this. As long as my brother and sister got out okay, I didn't care what happens. I watched as Zuko walked forward holding the scroll.

"Aang this is all my fault." Katara said sadly.

"No Katara. It isn't." Aang said.

"Yeah it kind of is." Iroh said, and Katara and I looked over at him.

"Give me the boy." Zuko demanded.

"You give us the scroll." The pirate leader said.

"You're really going to hand over the Avatar for a stupid piece of parchment?" Sokka asked, and I slapped my forehead as Zuko pointed at him angrily.

"Don't listen to him! He's trying to turn us against each other!"

"Your friend is the Avatar?" the pirate asked shocked.

"Sure is!" Sokka said smiling. "And I'll bet he'll fetch a lot more on the black market then that fancy scroll."

I stared at my brother dumbfounded. I can not be related to him.

"Shut your mouth you Water Tribe peasant!" Zuko said angrily.

"Excuse me?" I glared at him crossing my arms. How dare he call Sokka that! After all I came from the same place as him! Zuko glanced at me quickly before looking at the others again.

Aang leaned through the pirates. "Yeah Sokka, you really should shut your mouth."

But my brother continued to grin. "I'm just saying, its bad business sense. Just imagine how much the Fire Lord will pay for the Avatar. You guys would be set for life."

"Keep the scroll." The lead pirate said as I slapped my forehead again. "We can buy a hundred with the reward we'll get for the kid." Him and the other pirates started walking away.

"You'll regret breaking a deal with me." Zuko said angrily before him and two soldiers shot fire out of their feet at the pirates who all jumped out of the way.

The pirate who had flirted with me earlier threw some balls at us all and a smoke cloud surrounded us. I couldn't see much of what was going on, but my main concern was my sister. I brought out some water from my pouch and made it into ice, then used it to slice through the ropes holding her to the tree.

"Why didn't you do that earlier?" she asked rubbing her wrists, and I shrugged.

"I wanted to humor him for a bit." I winked as she giggled. She started to run off but stopped when she realized I wasn't following.

"Aren't you coming?"

I sighed and shook my head. "Sorry Katara. I told you I can't come with you."

She glanced over at Zuko who was fighting with the lead pirate and then looked back at me. "Should I even ask why you're staying with him?"

I smiled lightly. "The same reason you're staying with Aang. Besides needing to find a waterbending teacher that is."

She blushed a little which caused me to chuckle. "Fine. Just be careful."

I nodded. "Yeah. You too." She smiled then ran off to find Aang and Sokka while I looked over at the fight with Zuko.

I was content to watch it-it was actually quite entertaining-until Iroh got in between the two.

"Are you so busy fighting you cannot see your own ship has set sail?"

"We have no time for your proverbs, Uncle!" Zuko said angrily as I covered my mouth to hold in a giggle.

"Its no proverb." Iroh said pointing to the river to show the pirate's ship sailing away.

"Bleeding hog-monkeys!" the pirate said running off. Zuko laughed pointing at it-before seeing his boat being sailed away by the other pirates.

"Hey! That's my boat!" he yelled running off.

"Maybe it should be a proverb…" Iroh said thoughtfully.

"Come on Uncle!" Zuko looked over at me-who was laughing my butt off-and glared. "What's so funny?"

I tried my best to stop laughing. "No-Nothing…."

He growled before turning and running off. Iroh and I followed him quickly, as I still tried to stop laughing.

I walked up next to Zuko who was staring over the waterfall angrily. The two ships had fallen over the edge.

"My boat!" he yelled, and I giggled until he glared at me.

"What? You have to admit, its pretty funny." I smirked.

"No! It isn't!"

Iroh ran up behind us breathing heavily. "Prince Zuko," he chuckled. "You're really going to get a kick out of this. The lotus tile was in my sleeve the whole time!" he said pulling out a tile from in his clothes.

I grinned looking over at Zuko-who I could tell was getting very angry. Suddenly he took the tile from his uncle's hand and threw it over the cliff.

Iroh sighed. "So, what are we going to do about a ship Prince Zuko?"

"We'll just get another one." Zuko said turning and stomping off. I watched him go until he stopped. "Are you two coming or not?"

"Yes Your Majesty…" I muttered causing Iroh to chuckle, before we followed the moody prince.
