"AANG IS HERE?" I ask in surprise. Ma looks at my face. "You are lying right?" I ask again. But Tab shakes his hade saying he is not.
"Princess why do you think he is here. Is this even possible? I mean they left us six weeks ago"
I slowly came out from my room. Tab bow to me and walk in front me so he can lead the way.
Why is he here? Ma is right. Is this even possible? Aang left us six weeks ago. And now he is back. But why. Is he injured? Did Katara and Sokka came to?.
"This way my lady" Tab lead me to the Oasis. I slowly Open the door and went in. Aang is standing alone next to the fish pond. Suddenly my heart stops beating for a moment. Aang is here. My Brother is here. after six weeks he is back.

The Wind is cold like hell. Darkness is surrounding us. Small flys are following us every ware. Most of them are glowing and annoying. I make a fire to scare them. But they didn't leave. So I try to hit them but Uncle Irohs Scream stops me.
"RUN ZUKKOOO RUUUUUNNNNNN" uncle screamed while passing me in a hurry. I glare for a second and look behind me. Why the hell is he scramming and running. Is Azula here? But there is no sign of her. I glare back at uncle and stare at the dark woods again. Why is he scramming? Then I suddenly saw it. A skunk.
…..
Uncle keeps his bag on the floor. "We don't have a place to stay for the night Zuko. In this condition, I don't think that anyone would take us in. So from now on. We have to stay outside" he said and sow his teeth to me. I annoyingly look away. I don't care. My whole body smell like Skunk pee.
"Zuko do you want more," he asks and shows me the pot full of water and the burning duck inside.
"NO," I said while aiming and hitting a small fly.
"Why the hell are they following me," I ask in anger.
"It seems like they have a little crush on you HAHAHA" he starts to laugh. I glare at his site. How can he laugh like this? This is all his fault. That Skunk pee on me because of him. errrrr I shake my head and sat next to a huge tree while removing my smelly boots. Ehh. This never happens to me before. Why the hell those animals are so smelly? I brought my boots close to my nose. It smells like hell. I threw them away from me before I feel seek.
"So this is how it feels to be a person who doesn't have a place to go," Uncle said calmly keeping his head on the grassed floor around the tree.
"How the hell am I going to clean my boots now? They smell like skunk pee." I said annoyingly and disturb uncle s thoughts. I hate to think like him. I don't want to be a beggar. Uncle turns and looks at my face. He smiles.
'Zuko" he said. I scratch my head and glare at him.
"What"
"Are you Shure about this? Can you spend your life like this" he asked. "I know you always want to be around comfortable things. But from now on, nothing is going to be comfortable" he said sadly looking at the starless night sky.
"What do you mean by 'comfortable' uncle," I ask in surprise. I was never comfortable in my life. I always struggle to keep everything in balance.
"Well, you are a Prince. You don't deserve to be a beggar" he said and smile. I glare at him. But he didn't saw me. I hate to be a beggar. And the truth is we aren't. I am the Prince and he is The Dragon of the west. Then why do we have to think like beggars? I am Shure after we captured the Avatar everything will return to normal. I thought while keep staring at the firewood in front of me. Suddenly my heart starts to ache. Thousands of emotions came to my mind. Last night I was so happy. It is something I never felt before. I was about to go home. I thought my father really wants me back. I thought he wants all of us to be together. But it seems like I was wrong. He doesn't want me back. Well, I am not surprised. How can he trust me after what I did back at the North Pole? I didn't 'capture the Avatar. I betray my father.
"Zuko What if we keep your boots so close to the fire?" Uncle interrupted my thoughts. I shake my head a bit from his voice. But I saw him keeping my boots close to the fire.
"I want to bath," I said and stand. I want to get away from him for few hours. I want to think and clear my mind.
"Very well. But be back soon"
Aang s Pov
"Aang" I heard her sweet voice. She is here. Song Yin is here. Suddenly a small wave of happiness washed my heart after hearing her voice. But for some reason, I didn't turn. I don't have guts to face her. So I keep my glider on the floor and wait. Silence is surrounded us. I want to think. And I am so tired at the moment. I know what I am doing right now is so crazy and Stupid. I don't know if she is still angry with me or not. I left her without saying goodbye. And now she is the leader of this whole tribe. What If she throws me out.
"Aang" she calls my name again. I took a deep berth and slowly turn to her. But how am I going to look at her eyes directly after hurting her like that? But there she is. Standing so beautifully in front of me. I look down.
"Hey," I said slowly. I saw her feet getting close to me. I still didn't look up. Guilty kills me.
"Aang" this time her voice is so law and calm. Tears in my eyes fell down without stopping. She slowly starts to massage my head. Oh no not again. Why is she doing everything my sister have done long time ago? But at the moment I don't care.
"I am sorry," I said slowly. She didn't reply. But she keeps her hand on my chin and turns my face up to her. I met her eyes. They are deep blue and shining with tears. Suddenly my heart starts to ache like boiling Lava.
Song Yin Pov
Before I said any other words Aang hugs me and keep his head on my chest. He closes his eyes.
'I AM SORRYY" he said slowly. his voice is shaking. He is crying. I didn't smile but hug him back. Small teardrops fell down from my eyes. Why La why are things like this happening to me. Why don't I have the guts to tell who I am to Aang. Why? I feel so hurt and a relief at the same moment. Aang keeps his head on my chest and slowly start to cry like the baby brother I know ones in my past life.
"Oh Aang," I said his name and slowly tap his head.
"IMSOSORYYY," he said something that didn't understand at all.
'What Aang" I ask
'I am sooooo soryyy"
"Hey, it's okay," I said slowly.
"NOOOOO its notttt"
I smile after a long time. Aang is still cute. When he is crying.
"Aang stop crying. I am not angry with you" I said and slowly pat his head again. I know he yells me. But still, he is my brother. I can't be angry with him.
"But I am"
"With who?"
"With myself," He said finally and let me go. "I yelled you for no reason. What you said is true. My sister is dead long time ago. And she is not even in the Spirit world. But I feel bad for what I did for you. I left you again. I am sorry.
I laugh happily after hearing that. Finally, he understands what I said. I slowly hold his face and gave a kiss to his forehead.
"Now, now be a good boy and look at me," I said. "I forgive you," I said finally hugging him tightly. This time he slowly looks up. He is cute with those puppy eyes. How am I going to get mad at him after this?
"I am sorry," he said again. I wipe his tears and hug him back.

I remove my shirt and look around. No one is here to be seen. Finally, I can bath. I slowly remove my pants and undergarments. They all smell bad. Stupid skank. I can't believe this. I threw all of them into the water. I don't know how to wash them. That is something I have never done before. I am a Prince I don't clean my clothes. Maybe water can wash them for me.
I slowly put one leg into the water." Hmm" it's not cold. I jump to the water without thinking twice. This feels so good. I close my eyes and dive. Water is so warm and deeper than I thought. It tastes like salt. I think this river connects to the Ocean somehow. But At the moment I don't mind. I want to clean myself and clear my mind.
"hhhhhh" I brought my head up to the surface. "Much better," I said. Then suddenly I heard a small smile. My heart stops beating with terror. Someone is here. And I am naked. Great. I try to find my clothes. But they are already gone.
"ERRRRRRRRRRRRR" I scream. Who the hell took my clothes?
"hehehehe" I heard a girly laugh.
"HEYYYYYY gives my clothes back" I scream. But nothing happened. Only wind push the waves to my body.
"Hey whoever you are, give me my clothes back" I scream again in anger.
"Heeeeeheeeee" this time heard the smile with a water splash next to me. I look behind but no one was there. This is crazy. Whoever steals my clothes are in the water with me. And whoever this person is a girl. My face turns to red with a blush. What is she doing in the middle of a river in a time like this?
"Hey who are you? Listen please. Give my clothes back" I said kindly.
"Mmm Mmmm" I heard her voice again so close to me. This is so weird. I bend a small fire and look around. First I didn't say anything but then I suddenly saw her. My eyes wide with terror while my mouth opens like a dragon.
Song Yin Pov
"So is this mean we are friends again" Aang asks sweetly while eating his ball of noodles.
"Hmm" I shake my head and pure ginger tea to his cup. Aang smile back at me.
"Can I keep you?" Aang asks making puppy eyes. This makes me smile.
"Oh, really why do you want to keep me," I ask playfully.
Aang starts to think.
"MMMMM you know how to look after me. You know what I love to eat and not. mmmm well actually Karata can do that too. But the thing is you remind me of someone I loved sister Yun" Aang said and look far away from me. I know Yun is the reason Aang attached to me like this. But how am I going to say the truth to him? I know he will never believe me.
"She is so pretty and kind. I don't remember how my mother looks like. Because every time Yun was the mother who stays with me. She always cares for me. She always trusts me. But in the end, I betray her. I let her die. I am an idiot Song." Aang said sadly and look down.
I keep staring at Aang's face. He keeps talking about Yun without stopping. I try to control my inner sadness. Oh, Aang. If I have the guts to tell you the truth. Why am I so weak?

I wide my eyes in terror after seeing the naked girl in front of me. the lower part of her body is under water. Her Long dark hair covers her upper body. She is even wearing a flower. What the hell is going on in here? Who is she? Suddenly she smiles at me again and starts too moved towards me. Her swimming skills are amazing. It doesn't take a second for her to come close to me. I didn't move but wait. Her face looks so familiar. But I can't point it out. She slowly came close to me and stand next to me under water. I didn't move but try to keep my eyes on her eyes. I am not a pervert. I am Zuko the Prince of the fire nation.
"Heee heeeee" she smiles again and holds my shirt in front of my face. I didn't say anything but keep looking at her actions. This woman surprised me to hell. She slowly put her hand inside my shirt and took something out of it. I look at her hand to see what it is. She shakes this thing in her hand in front of my face. It's that Neckless. The neckless belongs to my protector. My eyes became oranges with a huge surprise. how did she know that I keep this neckless inside my shirt? I look at her neck. she is wearing the same neckless with a blue diamond. oh my god, where did she get it? suddenly everything came to my mind like a lightning. I am sure she gets a new one because she lost her old. that means OH, MY GOD. So it's her. This is the women who save my life when my ship blast. But how. Who is she? where did she come from?
"Heee mmmm" she slowly keeps her hand on my chest and gets closed to me. I blush again but keep my eyes on her as always.
"You save me," I said slowly. She slowly keeps her other hand on my chest. for the first time, I look at everything in her. her skin is white lie snow. her eyes are So deep and blue. wait. I know these eyes. But who?. She slowly gets close to me. I can feel her body heat on me. I close my eyes. Then suddenly as her lips touched mine. then suddenly I remember the person who came to my mind earlier. Song Yin. The Ocean Spirit.

I sat next to Aang at the Oasis. He is so happier than ever. He eats well. He talks well. And now he is laughing like today is the last day that he is going to laugh.
"Then Momo put his hand inside Sokka's mouth and drag the spider out. Sokka said Awwww, hahahahahahahahhaha" Aang said and laugh. "Sokka is the funniest person I ever Met Songyyy" he said again and laugh. I happily look at his childish act while patting Momo s head. "It's been a long time since last time I laugh like this," he said in the end and sat next to me. I smile back. Aang keeps his head on the floor and Yawn.
"Hey are you sleepy," I ask. He slowly shakes his head. I drop myself next to him.
"I love you Song," Aang said.
"Me to Aang," I said and close my eyes. Aang slowly keeps his head on my shoulder.

My heart and mind stop working for a moment. Or maybe more than a moment. I feel faint. My head spins like crazy. I forgot about everything in my life. What is this women doing to me?
"MOVW WITCH, MOVE, LEAVE MY NEPHEW ALONE." Suddenly I heard my uncles voice from some ware. I try to open my eyes and look behind. But the girl didn't let me go. And I didn't want to. She keeps kissing me like this is the end of the world. But suddenly I feel like someone is dragging me from behind.
"ZUKO" Our kiss is broken. I open my eyes and look around. I feel faint. But before my eyes closed. I saw a huge fish swimming away from me.
Okay, now that's weird. two Songs? wait and read hahaha. I love to give surprises. See ya guys...
