hey guys.

So I got this reviewer (who shall be name anonymous, seeing has how it was an anonymous review) saying that I could afford to skip the whole BR thing seeing as how all you guys already know what happened. Well here is my respone: I know I can afford to skip it but I can't for two reasons: 1. Some of the events at the BR are going to be different and 2. I suck at summarizing things up without putting in way too much detail and screwing up the writing completely.

So sorry readers, but me skipping BR just isn't a happening thing but just know I will skip some stuff.

Zuko couldn't believe it. There was no way that Sokka's father wasn't here. Sokka's father helped lead the invasion during the eclipse! How could he have not been at the Boiling Rock? Surely his father would have sent the leader of the invasion to the high security prison?

When he told Sokka that his father wasn't in the prisoner the warrior reacted exactly how he thought he would. Zuko was grateful neither he nor Sokka had told Katara or any of the others what Sokka had planned to do; the firebender wouldn't have been able to stand the thought of Katara feeling so much disappointment.

"So we came all this way for nothing." said Sokka, "I failed. Again."

Zuko tried to channel his uncle to think of what he would say at a time like this only to fail when his proverb made no sense at all.

Fortunately Sokka saw someone he knew sitting in the courtyard of the prison in prisoner garb; his girlfriend Suki.

Sokka and Zuko found Suki's cell and Sokka went inside while Zuko stood outside to keep watch. As he stood outside he could hear some part of the conversation. A few seconds after Sokka went into the cell, Zuko could hear a loud thump against the door as if someone was thrown against it. He looked through the slot on the door to see what was happening and saw the girl, Suki, facing the door in a fighting stance. He couldn't see Sokka and guessed she had thrown him against the door. The look of hatred on her face suddenly disappeared and the look of surprise and happiness on her face.

"Sokka!" he could hear her say, "It's you!"

Zuko watched her rush forward and bend down to the floor where Sokka was. With a smile on his face, Zuko turned to lean against the wall again. Maybe this trip wasn't a total bad thing after all. If the boys weren't able to save Sokka's father, at least they would be able to save his girlfriend.

Now the problem was how were they going to get off the island? The others didn't know where Zuko and Sokka really were and there was no way for them to contact the others.

Zuko suddenly heard someone approaching and saw a female guard walking up some stairs nearby. He knocked on the cell door to warn Sokka and Suki in case the warrior decided to come out at that time or in case the guard had to go into Suki's cell. The guard walked up to Zuko. He couldn't tell if it was the same female guard he talked to in the lounge.

"'Scuse me," she said to him. Zuko realized this was the same guard; she had the same scratchy voice. "I need to get into that cell."

Zuko stood in front of the guard to stop her from coming in. It would be way too suspicious if she entered the cell and saw a guard already in there, especially one who wasn't supposed to be in the cell in the first place.

"You can't go in there." he told her. He tried coming up with an excuse better than the one he made up in the lounge. He looked at the slot on the door. "The lights are out… the prisoner could sneak up on you." For the second time Zuko could slap himself for coming up with such a stupid excuse. The guard rolled her eyes.

"Step aside, fool." she told him. She tried to push Zuko aside but, without thinking, he grabbed her arm and threw her against the wall. "Hey! Hey! What are you doing?"

The guard maneuvered her way around and threw Zuko against the cell door. He tried to balance himself as he tried to push the female guard down. He could hear the door to Suki's cell open and close and knew Sokka snuck out of it. The guard tried to elbow Zuko in the face when she looked to the side at something.

"Guard, help!" she yelled out. Zuko winced; she noticed Sokka sneaking away. "I think he's an imposter! Argh! Arrest him! Get him off me and arrest him!"

Zuko felt a hand grab his arm and next thing he knew he was on the floor.

"You're under arrest!" he heard Sokka yell at him. The warrior helped the firebender to his feet and Zuko could hear him whisper. "Don't worry, I'll figure it out."

Zuko couldn't help but be scared. What was going to happen to him now? The guards were sure to recognize him and tell his father where he is. He might as well have be digging his grave at that moment.

Wow, now that I think about it this chapter is pretty lame. I'm so getting flames for this chapter aren't I?

I know in my second to last update I said I would put up my new story The Outcasts and I'm really sorry that I haven't done that yet but I have just been pretty busy this weekend what with easter and whatever. I'll let you guys know when I do put up the story though.
