Chapter Nineteen: All Through the Night

Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar. If I did, there would be potatoes! Erm, but I do own Ieko and Yoshiro. Mesha is not mine, but is belonged to Baron11. She comes from 'Just A Dream'.


I WILL NOT BE UPDATING FROM JULY 8TH TO JULY 16TH!

"I'm going to bed. Good night," Yoshiro told Iroh, "and you better not disturb me."

"Don't worry, Yoshiro, I won't," Iroh said, as he walked away.

Yoshiro dressed into her nightgown and went under the covers.


Dream:

"No! Don't kill them!" Yoshiro was infront of three people.

"The Avatar is supposed to be for the Fire Nation. I have no use for the others."

"I won't let you!"

"This is for the Fire Nation! This is for you, Yoshiro!"

"For…me?"

Yoshiro woke up, sweating and panting.

"What was that…it was just a nightmare…"

Yoshiro tried to go back to sleep, but no use.

That nightmare…it was so real…it was scary…I know that voice! But I can't think…so tired…I need some sleep...

Yoshiro tried to shake the nightmare out of her head. Then she tried to sleep...again…


Dream/Flashback

"Hello! My name is Yoshiro. Who may you be?" This was a younger version of Yoshiro, around eight.

Her father and she were at the Water Nation, the Fire Nation was stationed there and they needed directions.

"My name is Mesha," Mesha said, about ten years old.

Mesha's mother and General Xokku went inside.

"It looks like my father is going to be talking for a while. Want to show me around? I've never been to a Water Nation tribe before!" Yoshiro asked.

"Not much really," Mesha sighed.

"Who're…they?" Yoshiro pointed to a bunch of children.

"Oh, those two?" Mesha asked.

"Uh huh."

"That's Katara. She's a waterbender. Her older brother, Sokka, isn't a bender," Mesha said.

"I firebend," Yoshiro said, making little flames dance around her hand.

"I'm going to learn all four elements! I want to learn firebending, but no one here knows it."

"But isn't the Avatar the only one who can do that?" Yoshiro asked, confused.

Mesha was silent for about two seconds.

"So? I'm going to kill the Avatar. He left my grandmother at the mercy of firebenders," Mesha said, seriously.

"I am so sorry to hear that, Mesha. Now I feel worse about being a firebender…" Yoshiro said.

"Not your fault!" Mesha smiled.

"Yoshiro! Time to go! I got directions!" Xokku said to Yoshiro.

"Bye Mesha! I hope I see you again!" Yoshiro waved.

"Nice meeting you, Yoshiro!" Mesha waved.

End of flashback/dream


Yoshiro smiled. Mesha was the only other person she knew, besides Ieko, of course. It had bothered her that she wanted to kill the Avatar, but she still liked Mesha as a friend.

"I wonder what she's doing…" Yoshiro said to herself as she tried to go to sleep.

Then Yoshiro heard Zuko.

Right when I'm about to get some sleep, HE just had to yell!

"Look! I see something!" Zuko pointed out in the sky.

"What do you know? It's the Avatar!" Iroh said.

"Get the firebombs ready!"

"Uh oh. You're going to be in trouble Zuko," Iroh said.

"What?"

"One, you're going to wake Yoshiro up. And two, there's a ship after us."


"Oh no! We've been spotted!" Sokka alarmed.

"If you stop shouting-," Katara was cut off by Aang.

"Look! I see someone!" Aang pointed.

"I see firebombs! Let's just go!" Sokka said.

"No!" Aang said.

He was pointing to Yoshiro, who was in her night gown yelling at Zuko, who was wincing.

"Looks like an old person. Ha! He's getting yelled at!" Sokka almost doubled over with laughter at the sight of Zuko getting yelled at.

"Not an old person, you dope! It's a girl!" Katara whacked her brother's head.

She was right.


"Don't you even care about MY sleep? No way am I shooting a firebomb at those poor people!" Yoshiro was ranting on.

"No," Zuko said.

Yoshiro stomped back into her room and slipped on her normal clothes, then her outer dress.

"I can't believe I have to help stupid Zuko capturing the Avatar. I don't want to!" Yoshiro sighed.

Yoshiro went back outside and saw something in the night sky.

"It can't be….is it? Oh no!" Yoshiro was in shock.


S.E.: Mesha comes from 'Just A Dream'.

Chi: You told them that already!

Natasha: Doesn't hurt to tell two times, Chi

Chi: I tell you...fame and fortune kills people...or in Michael Jackson's case, it makes you-

S.E. and Natasha: WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!
