DISCLAIMER: don't own AVATAR.

Ok. Let's-

Another lawyer: where r my friends?

ME: give me a break! (pulls out a can of KO gas)

Another lawyer: answer- I feel sleepy. (falls on2 ground knocked out.)

ME: thanx darkangel52 4 the idea about using KO gas. Note 2 self: always keep a can of KO gas with me.

Ok, I've been told that Zuko is OOC. I don't know wut that is. Sum1 mind filling me in? and sry bout all the swearing. I don't like it. So I have no idea y I write it. But I promise 2 lighten up on it.

Get 2 the music!(hehe. I crack myself up. Specially since I'm listening 2 the Rolling Stones. And if u haven't heard of them, then u suck.)

Chapter 15: Kierra

Zuko stood there, gaping at Kellie. She was barely recognizable in those clothes!

"Well?" Iroh asked eagerly. Zuko brought himself back to reality.

"It's, nice." Iroh looked liked the world had came to an end, but Kellie just shrugged her shoulders and made to go to her room.

"Wait, you're not mad?" Zuko asked, dumbfounded. Kellie turned to face him.

"Of course not! You're just like my brother! Saying absolutely nothing truly kind! And Iroh, you're acting like my mother. Which is kinda creepy. She always made me model for my brother in my new clothes. It was really annoying. Just like it is now. But the memory of my brother and my mother was nice. Thank you for that." Then she disappeared through the hatch.

Iroh felt as if he had been landed on by Appa. And he really didn't know why.

Zuko felt horrible. Kellie never really had mentioned her family, but now that he knew some things about her, he felt really bad.

You just HAD to make her think of her family, didn't you?

She said thank you!

Yah, but you could've said what you really thought, and she could've been overjoyed!

What I really feel?

YES! Then she would know how you feel about her!

She's 12 years old, for God's sake!

So? It's common here for men to marry women that are years younger than themselves. Before she showed up, you were thinking about proposing for the Water Tribe girl!

Yah, but I bet it it's EXTREMLY uncommon for women to get married to men older than themselves where she comes from.

Ok! I won't propose, but when I see her again, I'll compliment her on her outfit.

During this argument Zuko had been having in his head, he had gone below deck, and now found himself outside Kellie's bedroom door.

He didn't realize where he was until the door opened and Kellie walked out. She had changed out of her celestial outfit and into something more Fire Nation themed.

It was another pair of pants, only this time blood red. With dark gold and little black swirls covering the pant legs. Her shirt was a lighter shade of red, and was a rectangle around her neck, and golden bell sleeves. She was still wearing the necklace said to summon Kierra. She looked like a noble woman of the Court.

She was surprised to see Zuko right outside her door, but she gave him a smile anyways. Her green eyes sparkling and standing out against her red, gold, and black outfit.

"Hi Zuko."

"…"

"Uh, any particular reason why you're standing outside my bedroom?" Kellie raised an eyebrow.

"Well, uh, you see, uh, you look," why was it so hard to say she looked beautiful?

"Nice, you already told me. Have we already left the port?" Zuko nodded. And felt grateful she had finished his sentence for him.

"Ok, thank you. I'm going to the galley for a snack, then I'm coming back to change." And Kellie walked down the hall. Then stopped.

"Uh, which way is the galley, again?" She asked with an embarrassed grin.

"Down that hall, fifth door on the left." Zuko pointed down a hall.

"Thanks." And she ran down the hall Zuko had directed.

Something's horribly wrong with Zuko.

Well, what do you think it is?

He must just be feeling a little sick.

Au contraire.

Well then, what do you propose?

I think he likes you.

WHAT!

What's the matter? I thought you WANTED him to like you!

Well, I used to, until,

Until he almost starved you, burned you, and has kept you cooped up on this ship?

Uh, yeah.

Go for Sokka! Or Aang!

Well, I would, but unless you're blind, they're MILES AWAY!

Oh shut up. You've had your snack, now let's GO!

It was true, Kellie had munched on some cookies she had found, and was ready to go back to her room.

She changed out of her red and golden outfit she had been wearing and pulled out a simple, black out fit. A pair of black pants and a black tank top. She went on deck.

Kellie leaned against the railing and watched the water below her. She didn't notice the sapphire fairy on it's chain was glowing brighter than ever. Just then, she thought she saw a, person, thing, staring up at her from the water's surface. Like, it wasn't under the surface, right on the thin line of the surface. She was about to scream when someone shoved her over the railing, and head first into the water 20 feet below her.

Kellie came up sputtering and trying to hack all the water out of her lungs. When she heard laughter above her. She looked up and saw Zuko grinning.

"VERY FUNNY!" She yelled.

"I KNOW!" Zuko replied.

"I WAS JOKING! EVER HEARD OF SARCASM?" Kellie screamed. Zuko just kept on grinning.

"NOPE!" Kellie started to growl. She bended some water into a thin stream, and an idea popped onto her head. It was stupid, crazy, but if it worked, Kellie's life would become a lot more fun.

She whispered to the thin stream of water.

"Go up and bring Zuko down here." Kellie flicked her wrist, and the water darted up and dragged Zuko down to Kellie. Her eyes got wide in disbelief, so she decided to try and do something else.

"Go make a dent in the ship." She flicked her wrist and sure enough, the bended water went up next to ship, and whipped the metal so hard it made a large dent. Kellie grinned,

her life had just became a LOT more fun. Then her attention went to Zuko. He was capable of swimming, but not very well. She crawl stroked behind him and shoved him under. Zuko didn't come up.

Kellie dove under the surface and tried to find him. She opened her eyes, but closed them immediately, and went back up to the surface. Zuko was dying because of her. She felt so guilty. Kellie began to cry.

Then Kellie remembered her new ability. She doubted it would work, but she was desperate. She made a stream of water and whispered to it.

"Please, go down there, go find Zuko, and bring him back. Save him. Don't let him die." She flicked her wrist, and the stream dove below the surface.

It had been about 5 minutes, Kellie had basically given up hope, when Zuko came floating up to the surface. She cried in joy, and hugged his limp body. But when he didn't return her embrace, Kellie knew the job wasn't done. She raised a shaking hand, and tried feebly to pull the water out of his lungs. It worked, but just barely. Zuko's eyes opened wearily, to see Kellie clutching him with her life.

"Zuko, I'm so sorry. I should never had pushed you under. I didn't know that you would-"

But Zuko hushed her.

"It's alright. You didn't know." Zuko hollered to the men on deck to get them out of the water. When they just had been given towels, Iroh came rushing up.

"My god! I just heard everything, and what were you thinking, I was so worried!" Iroh pulled the two into a big bear hug.

"I-roh. Stop. I. Can't. Breathe." Kellie gasped. Iroh quickly released them, not meaning to cause anymore damage.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I need go change into dry clothes." And Kellie walked below deck.

That night, just after sunset, Kellie was leaning against the railing again, looking at the water.

"If anyone can hear me, thank you for saving Zuko." She whispered. Her necklace was glowing like a lamp, and she didn't even notice.

A liquid, female voice sounded from nowhere.

"You're welcome."

Kellie looked down, and saw something on the surface of the water that looked like a fairy. The same thing she had seen that afternoon.

" Who are you?" Kellie asked, fearful.

"My name is Kierra."

Oooooooooooo! I've mentioned Kierra numerous times before, and now she makes her debut! now things get interesting! R&R, it makes my day.

INSANITY AT ITS FINEST
