An American Firebender

Chapter 7:

It's now or never, May! She told herself in her head. May kick the guards to the ground and grabbed Zuko.

"Run!" she yelled. Zuko was already running. They were ducking rocks, water, and everything else that was coming their way. May ran fast thanks to track. Zuko was having a harder time, but was right behind her. May's heat pounded in her chest and her breaths were short. She could hear Zuko's feet behind her. May ran to the stable's were they kept the ostriches. (Those big birds the earth nation has) May got on one.

"Get on!" she yelled. Zuko hopped on. "Mush!" she yelled. The bird took off. They had rocks flying at them. The bird kept running. May pulled the reins to the right; making the ostrich go into the forest. Branches left scraps on May's face. Mai found a river. "Hold on! Were going swimming!" She turned the ostrich into the river to lose their trial.

After about a couple hours of fleeing; they her confident they had lost them. May pulled the reins to stop the bird. She hoped off along with Zuko.

"That was the craziest plan in the world!" yelled Zuko.

"It got us out of that place didn't it!" she yelled back at him. Neither of them were in the mood.

"You could've gotten killed!" yelled Zuko.

"You were about to die yourself!" yelled May. Both May and Zuko's hand went a flame. "You could at least say thank you!"

"You don't boss your superior around!" yelled Zuko.

"You aren't my superior!" yelled May. "I don't even know why I rescued you now! Your just a spoiled brat!

"I am the Price and you are a commoner!" he yelled at her.

"At least I DON'T have an anger management PROBLEM!" she yelled.

"Are you saying I have a problem!" yelled Zuko.

"Yes, I am!" yelled May.

"I can't believe you!" yelled Zuko.

"I can't believe you either!" she yelled.

A couples hours passed since they last talk to each other. They were along the coast. Zuko led the way and May followed behind; keeping her distance from him. May was madder than mad and Zuko was out raged. May had her head low. Zuko looked behind him to see May with her head hanging low. Even when she was mad; she was still beautiful. Zuko trudged on. Something caught the corner of his eye. He turned and saw his ship on the horizon. May saw the ship too.
Iroh was looking threw the telescope; looking for his nephew and May. Iroh spotted Both May and Zuko. A sighed of relief followed. Iroh ordered boats ready to get them.
On the ship with both teenagers back; it was war. May and Zuko were calling each other names, beyond belief. Iroh was shaking his head in shame. May stormed off to her room. Zuko slammed his door to his room shut.
May was on her bed. Thinking. I can't believe I kissed that selfish prince! He is SUCH A PAIN! I swear I want to kill him! He thinks he can boss me around, then he has another thing coming! He'll pay if he tries it again.

Zuko was in a meditating position. He was madder than hell. How dare she! She is a peasant! And to think I kissed her! Who does she think she is? She just can't go around bossing a prince! She's just a pathetic little peasant! he thought.

May was one her bed. She was just plain angry about the entire day. She had tried to go to sleep, but it was no use. She had a feeling of guilt in her stomach. May felt like she should apologize. She stared up at the ceiling. She closed her eyes. Deep in her gut she was mad at Zuko, but at the same time she really liked him. She groaned. She put her head on her pillow.

"All I need is a good night's sleep." she said.

Zuko was half asleep in his room. He was still meditating. He kept thinking about May. He went over to his bed. He took off his tunic. He laid down on his bed with only his pants on. Zuko's anger had gone down. He let out a deep breath.
May woke up. It was in the middle of the night. She got up. May needed fresh air. She walked pass Zuko's room and headed up to the main deck. May went over to the side; looking at the calm water. She heard someone behind her. Zuko was next to her. The silence was strange. May was the first to speak.

"I'm sorry for calling you those names." she said. Zuko looked over at her.

"Why did you just say that?" Zuko asked.

"Cus I liked it before, when we didn't fight." May said. "I don't like fighting with you any way."

"It was quit peaceful, I'll say." said Zuko. "Do you really want it to go back, before when we didn't fight?" May smiled as the moonlight shone on her. She gave Zuko a kiss lightly on the right cheek.

"Does that answer your question?" she said.

"Yes, it does, May." he said moving a strand of hair out of her face. May looked at Prince Zuko.

"I'll keep promise, Zuko." she said. "I will."

"Good," he said. "I need a new partner to help me capture the avatar."

"I'm going back to bed." she said.
