"In here," Uncle Jon Jon said as he pointed to a tent. "That's where your Uncle is."

"Mills, could you," Zuko said as he trailed off.

"I can wait out here," I answered and squeezed his hand and then let go. "Go apologize."

Zuko walked to the tent, hesitated and then went inside.

"Now we wait," Paku said and he went into his own tent.

"Millennia, you can have my tent," My Uncle said as he led me to his tent.

"Then, where will you sleep?" I asked.

"I'll sleep in an extra tent," Jon Jon smiled and went into another tent.

I went into his tent and looked around. It wasn't that small but I didn't care. All I wanted was sleep. I crawled onto the bed and put as much covers as he had on me. Zuko wasn't there with me so I had to warm myself up with the blankets. I wondered what Zuko was doing. Was he talking to his uncle or watching him sleep? Either way, they were back together again. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

"Morning Uncle!" I said as I got out of his tent.

"Good morning Mills! How was your rest?" He asked.

"I was sort of cold but it was fine," I lied through my teeth. It was freezing in his tent.

"So, I want to know more about this necklace on your neck," He said as he pointed to the betrothal necklace.

As I told him the story about my journey I could over hear Zuko talking to his uincle.

"Go say hello to your future neice," I heard Zuko say.

"Future neice!" Iroh yelled, ran up to me and gave me a huge hug.

"I've missed you Iroh," I laughed and returned the hug.

"Please! Call me Uncle!" He said as he and I laughed.

"Okay, I've missed you Uncle Iroh," I smiled.

"Welcome to the family," Iroh said and bowed.

"Thank you," I bowed back.

"Well, I'm starving!" Jon Jon exclaimed.

"Oh geez! Not another Sokka!"

"Uncle, you have to fight my father! We don't know where Aang is!" Zuko exclaimed.

"I can't. It's the avatar's job. Not mine," Iroh said as he sipped his tea.

"We're doomed," Sokka sighed.

"Well, you can at least you can delay my brother until the avatar gets there," Iroh said.

"Not all of us can fit on Appa and I have to defeat my sister," Zuko said.

"Half of you go delay my brother and half of you go help Zuko," Iroh said.

"Katara, would you like to accompany me?" Zuko asked.

"It would be my honor," Katara answered.

"Me, Toph and Suki will go delay the Fire Lord," Sokka got up and got onto Appa. He helped Toph and Suki on.

"Mills, follow me please," Zuko said as he walked away from the group.

I followed him to a pound where turtleducks were. He looked at them and then looked at me. "I don't want you to come with us."

"But Zuko," I said.

"Mills, listen to me," He said as he grabbed my hands and kneeled before me. "If anything happens to you I will never be able to forgive myself. Stay here where it's safe. My Uncle will protect you. If I die you will become the Fire lord and if Aang doesn't defeat my father then run. I don't want you getting hurt. Please just do this for me?"

I started to cry when he said this. I couldn't lose him. I wouldn't. "Zuko, don't you understand if you die, I die?"

"My Uncle will make sure that you don't," Zuko said standing up. "Just please."

I couldn't respond. I would have choked on my own tears. Zuko wipped the tears off of my face and looked into my eyes. "Did I ever tell you how beautiful your eyes are?"

I shook my head.

"I love staring into them. They make me feel safe and they make me feel like everything's going to be alright which it will. If you just promise me," I stared into Zuko's eyes. He was crying by then. I kissed him on his warm lips.

"I'll stay," I whispered still tearing.

"Thank you," Zuko said, kissed my forehead and led me back to the group.

"Take the lizard," Iroh said as Katara and Zuko got on the lizard. "It's the fastest on land and in the sea."

"Thank you Uncle," Zuko said as he looked at me and smiled. "I'll be back for you Mill. I promise." And they sped away.

I wippied a dangling tear from my face as I watched them until I couldn't see them anymore.

"Yip Yip!" Sokka yelled and Appa flew off in a different direction.

"Go help Zuko," Iroh whispered to me.

"I promised him I would stay here," I was able to say.

"Have you ever listened to him when he told you to stay with me?" Iroh laughed.

"I guess not," I sighed.

"Then go," Iroh put his hand on my shoulder.

"Before you go, I want to give you something Millennia," Uncle Jon Jon said as he went into his tent. He came back out with a pakage. He handed it to me and I unwrapped it.

"My mother's fighting uniform," I whispered.

"Now it's yours," My Uncle said. I gave him a huge hug and went into an extra tent to put it on.

It was silver and dark blue all wrapped together with a light blue belt. I let my hair down and put on my betrothal necklace and Zaphron's necklace. I tapped my arms and legs up and walked out of the tent.

"You look just like your mother," Jon Jon whispered. "She would be proud."

"We saddled Buckbeak for you," Paku said.

"With our most finest sadlle and reigns!" The crazy old earth bender said.

I got on Buckbeak and he chirped. "Thank you," I said and I sped off towards the fire lord's palace.
