Chapter 3: Dresses & An Unexpected Run In

"Were are we stopping at?" Katara asked.

"A small town- called Akira-not but 100 miles off the coast of the fire nation."

"Fire Nation?" Katara asked.

"Of course we have to pass through Fire Nation waters to get to America." Aunt Kiki said.

"In America are there more people of Fire Nation descent than other nations?" Katara asked.

Kiki sighed, "Yes."

Kiki and Katara were almost thrown to the floor as Uncle Keyaan docked the boat in the port.

"What are we picking up?" Katara asked.

"Just some supplies and some material." Kiki said.

"Material? Please tell me I won't have to wear a red dress every day." Katara rolled her eyes.

"I'm afraid the collage your going to has a strict dress code-uniforms and the uniforms are red, black, and gold." Aunt Kiki said.

"The dresses are different from other nations aren't they?" Katara raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, they are like mine." Aunt Kiki pinched her light blue southern belle type dress.

( A/N: You know like the Southern Belles wore back Civil War and pre-civil war days.)

"Oh." Katara said trying not sound disappointed.

"You don't like them do you?" Kiki asked a worried expression coming to her face.

"No offense but no and I am used to my watertribe robes." Katara said.

"Oh dear, this presents a problem." Kiki rubbed her temples.

"I'm sorry I-" Kiki cut her off.

"Its okay we'll see what we can do." Kiki said.

"Kiki, Katara guess who has docked their ship in these ports." Uncle Keyaan said.

"Who?" the two women asked.

"Hello, Katara,"

Yes a dreaded cliffy! Well, not a big and I bet you can guess who it is but still a cliffy. So sorry again for not updating. Did you the new ep of Avatar? CLASSIC! Jun was so cool! KICK ASS! OH YEAH!

Much Love: Rei Akiko
