I HOPE U LIKE IT! . …BTW Rei is 10 years old.

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN THIS SHOW….

"The Girl with Golden Eyes"

Chapter 4/Stranded:

"…" Rei stood still with a shocked expression plastered on her face. Her eyes were as big as dinner plates.

"You, little girl. Have you seen an bald kid with an Airbender arrow tattooed on his head and a flying bison go by here?" the prince asked.

"…" Rei's surprised gaze focused on her father's recognizable scar. The future's powerful fire lord was only a puny insignificant adolescent. It was funny how things turned out.

"Hmph, useless girl." Zuko muttered while walking past Rei, looking for more strangers on the street to interrogate.

Suddenly a gray-haired, old man toddled past Rei and stopped beside the prince.

"Prince Zuko, quit walking so fast." Huffed the old man. It was Iroh. "Don't you think asking random strangers if they've seen a bald kid is a little desperate."

"Well, I wouldn't be so desperate if someone hadn't messed up our direction and lost the Avatar's trail." Zuko said frustrated, his yellow eyes glared at his uncle.

"I told the captain to go 200 miles north to our destination."

"No, you told him to go 200 miles south! You cut our traveling time by four days and now I have absolutely no sign of where the Avatar is!"

"Oh, well now that we are here in Ditenshu, why don't we get some tea and cookies from the market and then try to find out where the Avatar is."

"Any sign of the him would be useful."

Then two of them were about walk into a small alley, which cut between the buildings, when they heard a small voice behind them.

"Wait…"

They turned around to see a little girl calling after them.

"I…" Rei was about to continue when suddenly the Magic store's door opened and a girl in blue strolled out with two scrolls in her pocket.

"We're finished with our shopping. Thanks again for lending us that money, Riana." Katara smiled cheerfully, not noticing the two surprised Fire benders fifty feet in front of her.

"It's the Avatar's companion!" Prince Zuko shouted, stepping forward.

Katara turned around to see her enemy approaching her. Her warm bright smile immediately disappeared into a cold ghastly expression. Just then the Magic shop door opened again and Aang and Sokka stepped out only to have a fireball fly right past their noses.

"Yeek! IT'S PRINCE…" Sokka screamed in terror. "…I forgot, What's his name again?"

Before Zuko could blast another fire ball towards Aang and his friends, the Airbender let out a powerful gust of wind and blew him a few yards back.

"Run!" Aang, Sokka, Katara and Rei made a dash for it through the Market Streets crashing into local pedestrians and vendors. They had to get away from the wrath of the angry prince, who was not too far behind them. The gang zigzagged through the streets and alleys until they finally reached the pier where Zuko's ship was loading supplies. They had no where else to go for in front of them was the vast ocean separating the Earth Kingdom and the Fire Nation.

Aang pulled out a white whistle shaped like a bison and blew into it hard. A few moments later Appa swooped down towards the pier and picked the four of them up just as Zuko made his way towards the pier. He eyed the flying white bison aiming for the sky.

'I'm not letting him get away. Not this time!' Zuko climbed on his metal ship and ordered some of his officers to prepare the ship for departure.

"But Sir, we can not take off. Our ship still needs to repair and gather all of its supplies. Not to mention it hardly has any fuel left." One officer said.

"Then I'll take the small boat. Ready it for departure."

"Yes sir, Right away!"

A few of the officers started turning a large crank and a huge door on the side of the ship opened and a miniature version of the iron clad ship appeared in the water with Zuko aboard.

"Prince Zuko where are you going?" Iroh shouted tiredly from the larger ship's deck.

"I'm going after the Avatar!" Zuko shouted back.

"I'll come with you! Part of my tea supply is on that ship and plus you might need someone with a great personality to cheer you up when you don't catch the Avatar,"

"Whatever…"

Moments later, the small metal ship was gliding through the water after Appa, heading towards Fire Nation waters.

There was a sudden chill in the ocean air. The sea currents were becoming rowdier and there were gray clouds dimming the sun in front of them. A small water droplet fell from the sky and splashed into Iroh's teacup, mixing with the dark brown substance.

"Um, Prince Zuko, Maybe we should turn back while we can still see the shore. There's going to be a storm, a big one." Iroh said with worry in his voice.

"No, we can't turn back! I'm on his trail and I'm never going to let him get away again. This is for my honor. And I am willing to risk everything." Zuko said determined.

'Sigh. So young, yet so strong-willed.'

The ship continued to follow the flying bison, both heading straight towards the storm clouds.

"Aang, there is going to be one big thunderstorm. What are we going to do?" Katara said worried. "We're one-hundred feet in the air and pretty soon its going to start raining and thundering."

"I'm pretty sure Aang already has a plan to get us out of here safely. Don't you?" Sokka asked.

Aang focused his grip on Appa's reins. He had no idea what to do and how he was going to get out of this mess. The enemy would catch him if he turned around, but if he kept on going, he would be caught by the storm.

Meanwhile back on the shores of Ditenshu…

"General Zhao, we have spotted the Avatar… and the banished prince. They are heading towards the Fire Nation." An officer wearing red armor said to the general who was ordering some of his soldiers.

"Now what's that foolish prince doing? He knows he's not allowed to go back home. At least not without his ticket in." General Zhao spoke in an evil manner.

"What do you propose we do, Sir?"

"Well, I'm not letting that spoiled brat get his hands on the Avatar. Ready one of my vessels, let's just say the prince is going to have a little accident." The bearded man showed an evil toothy grin.

Meanwhile…

The rain was starting to fall onto the ship. They were far away from the shoreline now and there would be no escape if the storm got bigger. It was beginning to thunder and the ocean waves were getting more aggressive.

"Prince Zuko, we have to get out of this storm before it becomes worse!" Iroh shouted.

"No, I'm not letting a little rain interfere with my plans!" Zuko yelled

Iroh was about to reply when a tremendous racket drew his attention elsewhere. A flaming cannonball made a giant dent on the port side of the small ship and smoke was emerging out of it. The ship was taking in water and many more red dots were headed their direction.

"Uncle, We need to abandon ship! Those cannonballs will destroy our vessel"

"Alright, let me get my supply of gi…"

"NOW!" Zuko grabbed his uncle and dived into the ocean just as the cannonballs pierced the boat, leaving it in total, burning destruction.

"Aang! We have to get out of the storm!" Katara yelled as the rain and the wind slashed her face.

"I…I don" Before Aang could finish his sentence, a giant ball of fire singed Appa's furry side. And the giant bison went crashing towards the violent sea. Aang, Katara, Sokka, Rei, Momo and Appa plunged into the deadly waves. Their screams were drowned out by the thunder. The storm had gotten worse.

The waves crashed in Katara's mind. She was knocked out cold after the plunge into the ocean and now her mind was a blur. But now she was starting to regain her consciousness. She felt someone pushing her abdomen. Katara opened her eyes and spat out a mouthful of seawater.

"What happened? Where am I?" She said, her throat ached from the salt.

Katara looked and saw a group of coconut trees and in front of her was forest filled lush vegetation. The sky was now orange with the setting sun's ray and the sand underneath her was warm and abundant. The storm was completely gone leaving the ocean waves in a tranquil current.

"Are you okay little girl?" said an elderly gray-bearded man, kneeling down next to her.

"You're that one firebender!" Katara jumped and started scooting backwards to get away from Iroh. But she bumped into someone else. Katara turned around and saw prince Zuko, lying next to her, unconscious.

Katara quickly stood up and tried limping away from the two of them only to fall and be caught by the old man.

"Girl, you are in no condition to run. You must rest. You have just suffered a terrible storm." Iroh said, placing her down lightly back in her original spot.

"But…but…where are my friends, Aang and Sokka?" Katara said frantically.

"We're right here! Hey Katara! You're okay!" Aang said while climbing off one of coconut trees with two brown balls in one hand and Momo in the other. Sokka was right behind him. "We're okay and Appa's resting."

"You guys, what happened?" Katara said confused, eyeing her dress. The bottom was flared and one sleeve was torn.

"Well, we were caught in a storm, but we've somehow survived and landed on an uncharted island in the middle of the ocean separating the Earth Kingdom and the Fire Nation." Sokka gasped having said all that in one breath.

"That still doesn't explain why we're not running from our enemies." Katara glanced at the unconscious prince.

"Well you see, your friends were trying to find you when they awoke and I was trying to find my nephew so we decided to try and look for you guys together." Iroh said calmly. "But, we couldn't find that little girl that was with you."

'Riana!'

"What! You didn't find Riana!" Katara shouted.

Rei awoke several hours after the horrible storm, but instead of lying in the sand surrounded by palm trees and fresh air, she was in a dark dank room. She tried to get up but her legs and hands were bound together with rope.

'Where am I?'

Notes: I promise there will be romance in the next chap. I swear!

Notes: I don't know if any of you knew this already but I just found this out a week ago. The person that does the voice of Zuko on the Avatar TV show does Jake Long's voice in the show American Dragon: Jake Long. And the woman that does Katara voice also does Rose's voice in the same show (American Dragon: Jake Long).

And Rose is Jake's crush… O.O weird huh?

I just thought that was interesting.
