About 7 lines down I am not positive if those are real bending techniques but I am trying. :P

I am ranting skip if you must.

This chapter is boring!(to me)

*later*

Let's try this again. I need to add something to make it not boring to me. ugh. I hate training chapters! I give up!

*next day* This is why I can't update. Stupidness. Okay I am going to pull through this chapter.

Disclaimer: I don't own avatar if I did I would not be here I would be making actual episodes.

The next week was horrible without Zuko. Today was my first day to train with Aang, I would rather Zuko but Aang will still be a good teacher.

"Ready?" Aang asked.

I nodded as we walked towards the training arena. "Where did Zuko go exactly?"

I bit my lip nervously. "Uh, I don't know."

"Oh. I'm not sure what you have learned. What was the last thing Zuko went over?"

I thought for a moment.

"Fireballs and streams of fire."

"Then we will start with redirecting lighting. Which means this is the last thing you have to learn." I smiled.

Finally it would be over. No more training, I could stop learning everything I would be done. I could spend as much time as I wanted with Zuko. I could spend time with Katara and Suki. Toph, Sokka-

"Hello? Earth to Lulu!" Aang cut off my internal rant.

"Oh." I chuckled, "sorry."

He slowly bend a fireball at me and I easily bended it back. I shrugged it off as he was going easy in the beginning, until the whole lesson went like that.

"Are you trying to go easy on me?" I asked shaking my head.

"No! I am trying my best." He smiled.

"Dang it. You defeated Ozai this is NOT your best, I can take it." He flinched at the word Ozai.

"Obviously not good enough." He muttered to himself, I rolled my eyes.

"You defeated him didn't you? You can't have twenty four hour watch on him. Let's just get back to training." I never thought I would say that, then I added "And don't go easy on me."

Semi-line Hours later

"Enough training for now." I let out a breath and fell to the hard floor. I did tell him not to go easy on me, Aang walked over and helped me up. When I got up I had small hard rocks all over my arms and legs, I brushed them off. I few of them left little dents in my skin I rubbed my arms and walked back into the Palace with Aang.

"Let's go get some dinner." He said, I was grateful my stomach started to rumble. I laughed and went to the dining room.

Everyone sat around the table and the topic of the conversation had to end up talking about Zuko. Ugh.

"So, where did he go? What kind of 'Fire lord business' requires him to be gone for who knows how long?"Sokka asked in between mouthfuls of food.

"I said, I don't know."

"Well, that is kind of supshfdh." He mumbled with food in his mouth.

"What?" We all said in unison.

"I said suspicious! I mean he leaves and says he has 'business' but doesn't tell anyone." Everyone but me looked around.

"He's not like that! Maybe he really did have Fire lord things to take care of!" I felt a hint of guilt in my stomach from lying to them.

"Sure." He added sarcastically.

"What has gotten into you? He is your friend!" I yelled standing up, I was upset with everyone with the exception of Iroh he wasn't here.

How could they think he would do something bad?

"Well, everyone knows he has done bad things in the past and that he almost cheated on yo-" I cut him off.

"Enough! It doesn't matter what he almost did. He is your friend, all of you guys are his friend. And what do you mean he did 'bad things' nobody is perfect." Katara sighed.

"I know. He is our friend Sokka is just being a defensive baby."

"Am not!" He immediately yelled, I rolled my eyes. "I'm telling you. There is something going on here." He added.

(Sorry, to interrupt but right here a funny moment I picture her lunging across the table at Sokka. Of course, that doesn't happen but…)

"Fine! Since you think he is so bad, do you want to know where he really is? He is trying to find his mother! Happy?" It got dead silent, nobody said anything. Yes, I know I yell a lot but I have temper issues.

"I didn't know." Sokka said, quietly he was barely at a whisper.

"Never mind." I said and walked out the door.

Yeah, this is short I know. But I plan on updating later today or tomorrow so hold on til then. :)
