Okay, I'm sorry for the typos and mistakes in the first chapter. I know the genre may be romance/general but I was think of changing it to romance/comedy with a little action.
You will learn in the other chapters that Rei is not as weak as you would think. It is just her emotions that seem to get in the way.
Disclaimer: I don't own this show!
And thanks for reviewing! . I know, my first chapter stunk..
Now on with the story:
"The Girl with Golden Eyes"
Chapter 2/Troublesome:
"Wait! What year am I in?" Rei asked astonished. "This is impossible! I'm not even supposed to…"
"What's the matter?" Aang asked surprised at the little girl's ignorance.
'Oh no, What if they suspect me? I need to have a cover up. And I can't let them know that I just suddenly appeared in the Earth kingdom from 16 years in the future!' Rei thought."Oh it's nothing!" Um…. I was…um…I banged my head on a tree and just had a slight memory loss. I am fine now. Silly me!" Rei said with a smile, but deep down smiling was the last thing she would do.
Aang looked at her for a second then he smiled and walked towards Appa. "Good Night, old buddy. You'll need a lot of rest for tomorrow's flight to Ditenshu! You too, Momo!" As Aang was tucking his two friends in, Rei looked up at the sky.
Tonight was a beautiful night and the stars were brighter than ever since there was no other light around except the glow from the small fire that kept the camp warm. Usually on a night like this, Rei would be walking through the enormous garden behind the fire palace with her great uncle, but no… not tonight. She was stuck in a forest in the past with a lemur, a flying bison, a teenage mother who didn't even know her and a bald kid with an arrow on his head otherwise known as the Avatar.
"So who exactly are you and what is your name?" Katara asked the strange little girl. "And what are you doing here in a forest in the middle of the night?"
'Oh no! I was afraid it would come to this!' Rei panicked. 'I can't let my mother know who I am'
"Wait I had a vision like this once!" Sokka said frantically. "I know who she is! She is a zombie risen from the graves to suck the living souls out of our bodies! Don't get near her!"
Katara pushed her brother aside and said "Don't mind my brother. He's weird sometimes. So what is your name?"
"Uh…I am Re…Riana and I am from…the nearby…Earth village called… um… Ditenshu." Rei said trying not to sound phony.
"Oh. Then you must be lost. Tomorrow we are going to that village for supplies so we can drop you off. But why don't you spend the night with us." Katara smiled at Rei. "Don't worry you'll see your family soon."
'Wow, she didn't change that much.' Rei thought. 'I wonder if my father has changed."
"Um…may I ask all of you something?" Rei said timidly.
"Sure. What is it Riana?" Aang smiled.
"…Would you happen to know someone named…Fire Lord Zuko?" Rei asked.
"HA! Fire Lord! Zuko is just a spoiled prince who has nothing better to do than go after Aang" Sokka laughed. Then everyone started snickering except Rei.
'Ooh Bad reputation. Not a good sign. But I just need to know one more thing. This is awkward.'
"Um…Katara? Would you ever even consider marrying him." Rei asked.
"You have got to be kidding me! Of course not! He's a bad person! Ew! That is nasty! Whatever gave you that idea!" Katara shuddered.
'This is worse than I thought'
"And even if I did marry him and we had a kid, it would probably be evil, ugly and a lousy bender!"
'Ouch, That hurt.'
"So your answer is 'Never in a million years! Not even if he was the last guy on Earth!'" Katara said turning towards the fire. "Don't even joke like that!"
"And plus Water and fire are opposing elements. It'll never work!" Sokka said. "Plus he's the enemy!"
"Enemy?"
"Yes, he's the bad guy that is trying to catch the Avatar! But you don't need to worry about him. He's probably like a hundred or more miles away right now." Sokka said while preparing the sleeping bags around the fire.
'Wow, things are screwed up right here. They're enemies.' Rei thought."Hey, the flames are going to go out any minute." Katara said while standing up. "I'd better get more firewood."
"Hey, I'll come with you! Its dark." Aang said following her.
'Thanks Aang, you're the best."
Then both of them ventured into the dark forest. Suddenly a terrible thought hit Rei.
"Wait, do those two have a crush on each other?"
"No kidding." Sokka said drowsily as he dosed off into his sleeping bag.
'Oh no! This is awful! If Katara falls for Aang instead of Zuko, I'll seize to exist!' Rei panicked.
She was already starting to get the hang of saying Katara and Zuko instead of mother and father.
Then Rei turned around to look at the disappearing flames. She held out her hand and a tiny spark ignited from her fingertips. Suddenly the fire cracked and a smoldering hot ember bit her hand.
"OW! CRUD!" Rei silently screamed while putting her wound into her mouth.
'Wow, being hurt by your own element… how low can you go.' Rei thought.
Then there was a loud rustle in the bushes next to the camp. Surprised by the noise, Rei jumped up and readied herself in an attack position. Must have been reflexes.
"Don't worry! It's just us!" Katara said, emerging from the darkness of the woods with Aang right behind her. They fed the fire so that it was burning brightly again and set the rest down near their supplies.
"Here Riana, you can take my sleeping bag." Katara said nicely. She set up a blanket and pillow on the ground and laid down on it. "Looks like Sokka's already asleep."
Aang plopped down next to Appa and said. "Good night, everyone" before finally falling into a deep slumber.
Rei slipped into the sleeping bag. She couldn't go to sleep though. Aside form the Sokka's loud snoring, there were too many things troubling her like how she was stuck in the past, she couldn't bend anything, her parents were enemies and the fact that she might not have a future. This was one troubling day.
'And I didn't even get those boys back for making fun of me. Wait! That's the least of my worries! How could you be thinking that when there are bigger problems here! You should be ashamed of yourself.' Rei scolded herself.
Finally, feeling much to tired to keep her eyes open, Rei fell asleep.
But not long after the gang fell asleep, there was movement in the nearby bushes. Someone had been watching them.
Sorry there was hardly any action or romance going on in the chapter but I needed to set up the story. There will be more later though. Once again SORRY! It was late when I started this chapter.
