Return of the American Firebender

A/N: I just PLAYED WITH THE ILLINI TENNIS TEAM! Oh my god are they cute! They're VERY GOOD at tennis! I even got a compliment from the coach of the team! That night was SO COOL! Got to meet cute tennis players off the Illini tennis team that rock at tennis. How in the world do they keep the ball in play? I screwed up on writing my account name. my account name is firebenderdai. If you do play neopets, give me a neomail! Well, the 17th episode wasn't the greatest. We NEED ZUKO! Zuko has fans, too! Sorry that I haven't been updating like I wish too, but I've been everywhere online looking for any information in amoebas. I have a report on them that I just finishes. Plus I've been a little sick. Where you feel like you have no energy. Well, go read Chapter 4!

Chapter 4:

For the next 3 days, Zuko and May didn't talk to each other. They didn't look at each, talk to each other, or even be in the same room. Neither of them called each other names. The silence between them was strange and unwelcoming. You could hardily get them to even to walk down the same hall. Zuko seemed to be angrier. One minute he is quite, the next he is yelling at the crew over nothing. May wouldn't talk to anyone, unless it was directly to her. It seemed strange without them talking to each other. They would pass glares at each other if given the chance.

May laid on her bed. She wasn't angry at Zuko any more, but she still didn't want to talk to him. May turned over on her bed. May had been trying to go to sleep for the past 3 hours, but it was no use. May was dead awake. May turned the candle off with Firebending. The room was completely dark. May stared up at the ceiling.

"Sometimes I wonder if I should go home and forget this ever happened." she said. "I'm living what some people would die for. It's not worth it. It's not what I thought this world is like." May closed her eyes. "Home seems so close, but yet so far. I will through this and go home someday. Till then, I'll make the best of the situation." May said as her thoughts disappeared and her breathing became heavy. She fell into a restless sleep.

May's dream

May stood on a blank street. Buildings were vacant and there was a strange presence about the street. It looked as if people just disappeared from where they had just been. Fresh scents of food filled the air. Houses lit up, but nobody in them. Cars left in the middle of the street. The baseball stadium had the scoring on the board, but the baseball equipment left on the ground. The sky was black as night it self. Fog drifted in slowly.

"What is this place?" asked May. "It looks like people were just here and then left what they were doing." May could make out a shadowy figure that resemble like someone she had known.

"Come here, child." said the figure. May was stunned by who had spoken to her. Her feet carried her over to the figure without May knowing. It wasn't till she could make out the face of an elder woman with ember-gold eyes did May recognize her.

"Grandma?" asked May. The woman had black hair with a few gray streaks up in a ponytail. She wore a red dress with a black sash around the waist. She had a black shawl on her.

"It's good to see, May." said her grandma. May was dead still. She seemed to be frozen in time.

"How? What? I can't believe it!" she said breaking the silence.

"I don't have much time, May." said her grandma.

"But, how?" asked May surprised.

"Listen, May what I'm telling you is very important." said her grandma.

"Yeah," said May.

"the Fire had a loss at the Northern Air Temple. Sokka and the inventor made what you call a Hot Air Balloon. The Fire nation has used that idea. They are going to star controlling the sky and using their Firebending. This could spell disaster." said her grandma. "You must help stop it. You must remain hidden and help the avatar along with Prince Zuko. The Fire Nation is still after you, May. If you don't remain hidden, you could die."

"I won't die, Grandma." said May. "I won't let you down."

"I knew I could count on you." said her grandma as she faded into thin air. May stared.

End of May's Dream

May shot up. Her heart pounded in her chest.

"What the hell was that dream about?" she asked herself. "That's the last time I have a cup of that tea Iroh loves!" May's breathing slowed down to normal after a couple minutes. May got dresses into her red dress as usual and put her hair up. May left the room closing the door behind her.

May saw Zuko on deck practicing his Firebending by himself. May couldn't help, but glare at him. He stopped his Firebending and glared right back at her. Time it self seemed to stop.

"I gave you an answer about what you wanted to know." May said. "Then why be at me when I gave you your answer?"

"You don't know what it's like!" said Zuko angry.

"I've been through my own problems!" said May.

"You know all about me! My life is recorded without my knowing!" yelled Zuko.

"I get it that your mad at your father for banishing you! That you just found out the truth about how I knew you!" yelled May. "But get over it!"

"Over it!" yelled Zuko. "You don't know what it is like to be banished to have a scar that people see as a weakness!"

"Zuko, get it through your thick skull!" yelled May. "You just need to take a chill pill!"

"I'm a banished Prince on an impossible hunt for the Avatar as my only way home!" yelled Zuko. "My father has given me a scar as a reminder of my weakness for being so soft hearted!"

"Zuko, Listen to me!" yelled May. "You can't changed your past, but you can change your future!" Zuko got into a fighting position. May got into a fighting position, too. The two teenagers were going to battle it out.

A/N: Well there is a cliffhanger! Hope ya'll like it! Sorry that it took so long! Being sick doesn't help with writing.
