Zuko never did catch me, so I have been avoiding him. I wasn't going to let him catch me. If he did he would have done one of two things. One thing could have been tickling me to death, god forbid. The other thing he could have done was threaten my life. I really didn't want either thing to happen so I avoided him. Good plan, huh?

I found Iroh and had tea with him. I think I know why Zuko hates it. I got hyper after I drank some. I excused myself and burned the tea cup. Poor thing had to live with the stuff all its life.

I was escorted to dinner by Iroh and ate and awkwardly quiet dinner. I think Zuko glared at me the whole time. While I ate my fish and rice, or so called ship food (this was restraunt style! ship? Pfft! Call the Newspaper this stuff is great!), I came up with another plan.

After I finished eating Iroh and Zuko showed me my room. Before Zuko left he stared at me, so I read his mind. I guess he knew what I was doing so he thought 'Sleep with one eye open tonight' I stuck my tongue out at him and he walked away.

I looked around my room. Door, bed, window, desk, wardrobe. Normal room. I jumped onto the bed and lay on the pillow. I stared out the Window. It was just getting dark. I wondered if I could talk to Katara through thoughts. I looked out the window and could see a 'bison-shaped cloud'. I smiled and closed my eyes, trying to find Katara's mind. 'I hope she's alright' Score! I found her! I decided to try and talk to her.

Katara! Can you hear me? It's Shelby!

-mental gasp- OMG yes I can! How are you doing that and where are you! How are you?

I'm fine. Oh I have SO much to tell you! It's so fun to mess with Zuko! If you haven't guessed, I can read minds. Weird, huh?

Wow, yeah it is. Oh, and Sokka says Hi. I think he misses you. He won't shut up. It's getting SO annoying.

Tell him I said hi. I'll talk to you later. I'm going to bug Zuko now! Bye!

Be safe! Bye!

Whoa that was so cool. I am gonna freak out Zuko now. Find Zuko. Find Zuko. Yes! Got it! 'Must Find Avatar'

Ya know Zuko, I can read your thoughts when we aren't in the same room too. I smiled.

Ahh! How did you do that? STOP!

Fine your bitchiness. I don't think highness fits you well. Bitchiness works well with you. BYE!

I laughed and slid off the bed. I walked a few doors down and popped my head in Zuko's door. "That was SO fun. We should do it again sometime, your bitchiness." I left before he could say anything.

WITH APPA!

"That was so cool! I talked to her. At least we'll know if she needs help now." Katara said happily.

Sokka pouted. "Why didn't she talk to me?"

"Probably because you were staring at her all day." Katara smirked.

Sokka blushed, "I was not."

"Were too." Aang joined in.

"Shut-up."

Katara rolled her eyes and practiced her waterbending.

ON DA COOL SHIP!

I walked out on deck and leaned against the railing. I looked down at my jeans. Next time I went shopping I'd have to get some new clothes. It's not always comfortable to sleep in jeans. I stuffed my hands in the pockets of my hoodie and sighed. I wonder what my parents are doing right now. I've been here all day, no 'I'm leaving note' or anything.

"What are you thinking about?" Zuko. I rolled my eyes. Perfect timing on his clock.

"Wouldn't you like to know." I smirked. He glared at me.

"Yes, I would."

"My home. My family."

He was quiet. "Oh."

"Yeah." Molly walked up to me and rubbed against my legs. I sat on the deck with my back against the railing. Zuko stayed where he was, leaning against the railing looking at the water. Molly climbed into my lap and went to sleep.

"Where did you get Molly?"

"Long story." I wasn't saying that so he wouldn't find out about me coming through the TV. It really is a long story.

"Oh, so you're not gonna answer?" He sat down beside me and leaned his back against the railing.

"No, I don't feel like telling the story right now."

"Oh. Ok."

We sat in silence. I started to read his mind. Stupid idiot. Stop having mind battles. I wonder what her family is like. NO! She doesn't want to talk about it. She's pretty. SHE IS NOT! I giggled and he looked at me. I shook my head. "Nothing." I went to reading his thoughts again. I wonder why she giggled. I like her laugh. SHUT UP! I wonder if she giggled because she was reading my mind. FUCK she can read my mind! SHIT I'm leaving. He stood up.

"Bye." He started to walk away.

"I have mind battles too." He tensed. If Molly hadn't been in my lap I would've been in my room with the door locked already.

"Don't read my mind anymore." His voice had a mix of tones. Anger, embarrassment, and a hint of a different tone told me he was pleading my. Begging me not to read his mind.

"Sorry. I was bored."

He sat back down beside me. I had a mind battle right there. Sokka or Zuko? Which one is worse? I never decided because I thought too hard and hot a headache. I gently cradled Molly in my arms and stood up.

"Where are you going?"

"To bed. I have a really bad headache. I have to stop thinking so hard." I started to walk off.

He laughed. Whoa. Zuko laughed. I stopped and looked at him. "What?"

"Thinking too hard. I was laughing t what you said."

"Oh. Okay. Good Night."

"Night."

I walked into my room and closed the door, locking it behind me. I lay Molly on the bed and changed into a shirt someone had left me to sleep in. It was about a size too big, but it worked.

I decided to talk to Katara.

Hey, Katara.

Oh, hey! How are you?

I'm fine. How is everything there?

We're ok. Zuko hasn't spotted us yet, thankfully.

Yeah, they won't. I'll make sure of it.

Thanks. Hey, were you and Zuko on deck a few minutes ago? I was looking at thee ship and though I saw you.

Yeah, it was. We were just talking.

Oh, ok.

I'm going to sleep now. Tell everyone good night.

Ok, night.

Night.

I drifted off to sleep soon after.

TO APPA!

Katara sat up in her sleeping bag. "Shelby said good night."

Sokka bolted upright in his sleeping bag. "To who?"

Katara rolled her eyes. "To both of you."

"Oh, okay." Sokka frowned then lay back down in his sleeping bag.

"How is she?" Aang asked from Appa's head.

"She said she's fine. I saw her on deck a few minutes ago. She was talking to Zuko."

"Ok."

Katara lay back down in her sleeping bag and looked up at the stars. "Hey, Aang?"

"Yeah?"

"I don't think the stars have ever been this bright."

Aang looked up. "I think you're right. I've never seen stars this bright before!"

Katara sighed and scooted a little closer to the front of the saddle, by Appa's head.

"Night." Katara closed her eyes and smiled.

"Night."

R&R please!

Thanks to all my reviewers! LUBB YA!
