American Firebender's Promise

A/N: IceDemonKiara004, I know already that. I'm not the best with English. I STRUGGLE just to keep an A. Just ask my dad and English teacher! English is NOT my best subject. My best subject is Algebra. Don't ask me why! I HATE taking a year ahead in math! I do like having the constructive criticism. So I find as a way to help me write better. I'll take those ideas into thought. I know how you feel about being half brain dead! While I'm busy going crazy from having to wait to watch the season premiere, you read the next chapter. Thank you reviews!

Chapter 2:

"May!" said Zuko shoving her back and fourth. May groaned as she pulled the covers over her head. "Get up!"

"5 more minutes!" said May.

"Get up!" said Zuko.

"No!" said May.

"It's already 9 A.M.!" said Zuko.

"What!" said May as she shot up from the covers.

"We've got to get ready." said Zuko.

"For what?" asked May yawning.

"We're traveling with the avatar, right?" said Zuko. May nodded. "Well. They're leaving today."


May was outside near Appa along with Katara. People were staring at her. Zuko was busy with Aang planning a course for which to take. A little kid around 4 years old ran up to May.

"You have strange cloths!" pointed out the kid. May looked down at her cloths.

"I could say the same about you!" said May. "Haven't you ever seen jeans and t-shirt?"

"What are those?" asked the kid. May slapped her hand to her head.

"Forget I ever said that!" she said.

"Well the kid is right May," said Katara. "You do stick out."

"What am I is suppose to do?" said May. "Go get close and so that I look like I'm from the Water Nation?" Katara gave May that look. "Need to keep my big mouth close!"


May came out of a store dressed in a long-sleeved blur shirt, and a blue skirt that fell to her ankle. It was noon.

"That's the last time I open my mouth!" said May.

"At least you look more normal." said Katara. "We better go meet the guys at Appa."


May and Katara came across the site of Zuko and Sokka fighting. Aang was trying to break it up, but sadly the two teenage boys just kept going at each.

"You take Sokka and I'll take the prince." said May. Katara nodded. May and Katara went over to the fight between the 3 boys.She grabbed Zuko's collar and started dragging him away from Sokka. Katara grabbed Sokka's ear and dragged him away. May let go of Zuko. Zuko got up and glared at her. May gave Zuko the look of disappointment.

"He started it!" said Zuko pointing to Sokka.

"NO! That spoiled prince started it!" yelled Sokka pointing to Zuko.

"Time to go before another fight starts out!" said May. May climbed up on Appa. Zuko climbed up after May. Zuko sat down next to May. She looked at Zuko who had a long-sleeved blue shirt on and blue pants. Aang was on Appa's head. Katara got up on Appa. Katara sat down across from May. Sokka came to sit down next to Katara. People gathered around Aang as he got ready to leave.

"Thank you everyone!" said Aang.

"It was an honor to meet with our sister tribe." said Katara.

"Thanks for making me blend in!" said May. Sokka looked over at Princess Yue who was about to be married. Sokka gave a small wave to her. Princess Yue looked at Sokka then left. Zuko was completely silent.

"Appa, yip yip!" said Aang. Appa took off into the sky above. May looked over the side to see the Tribe growing smaller and smaller. They sailed into the clouds for cover.


An hour of flying had passed. May was leaning against the saddle thinking about what lies ahead of their journey. Sokka was taking a nap. Zuko was trying to meditate threw Sokka's annoying snores. Katara was practicing some basic waterbending. Aang was trying to teach Momo to play dead. May looked over at Zuko; he looked like he was about to explode. Zuko opened his eyes and glared at Sokka.

"Katara," whispered May. "Better keep a watch on these two. I think another fight is going to break out." Katara nodded. "Aang, can I borrow Momo?" asked May.

"Why?" asked Aang.

"Just because." said May. "I need him for something. Momo, come here." Mom flew over and landed on her shoulder. May pulled out a piece of candy out, unwrapped it, and threw it at Sokka. Zuko looked at May with a puzzled face. Momo flew over to Sokka and landed on his face. He picked up the candy and licked it. Mom shoved it into his mouth with his tail moving back and fourth.

"I don't get it." said Aang.

"Just watch." said May. Momo's tail fell into Sokka's mouth. Sokka woke up with a mouth full of fur. Mom screeched and flew back over to Aang. Sokka stuck out his tongue that was filled with Momo's fur. May started laughing at Sokka's face. If Sokka had been a firebender, flames would be on his hands. Sokka used his hands to brushes of the fur.

"Why you little!" yelled Sokka.

"What are you gonna do to me?" asked May. "Stick the boomerang down my throat!"

"That's a good idea!" said Sokka pulling the boomerang out.

"I'm a firebender, so remember that!" said May.


The sun had set a couple hours ago. 2 tents had been setup next to each other. Appa was laying down by the warm campfire. Zuko was sitting next to May. Across from May was Sokka; who was wolfing down some fish. Katara was practicing waterbending with Aang. The sky was covered with dark clouds that blocked out the moon light. Thunder roared as lighting ran across the sky.

"I think it's time to go to bed, people!" said May getting up. "It's gonna rain." Katara stopped waterbending.

"Who is going to sleep with who then?" asked Katara.

"We could stick Aang, Sokka, and Zuko in a tent and see who dies first!" said May/

"No!" said Katara.

"How about the younger ones sleep in a tent and older ones sleep in another one." said Zuko.

"What age though?" asked Aang.

"15 and younger sleep in one tent, while 16 and up sleep in another tent." said May.

"But your 15!" said Katara.

"No, I turned 16 about 2 months ago." said May. "A week before Zuko arrived at my house."

"I guess that could work out then." said Katara. Thunder boomed once again. Everyone ran to grab their sleeping bag. Sokka was still eating his fish as he ran. May grabbed her bag and ran for it as rain began to pour. She darted into a tent with Zuko close behind.


Zuko closed the tent opening as soon as he got inside. May unrolled her sleeping bag.

"Is rain always this unpredictable in your world?" she asked.

"No," said Zuko as he unrolled his sleeping bag. May laid down on her sleeping bag. She lit a fire in her hand since it was night time. Zuko brought a small candle out from his pocket. He set it down in between the bags. She lit the candle ,and extinguished the fire in her hand. May got into her sleeping bag. May closed as her eyes. The rain was beating own on the tent with all of its force. Zuko took of his shirt, and got into the sleeping bag. Zuko gave a wave of his hand as the fire from the candle went out. Without a word the two firebenders fell asleep.


May woke up with the sound of thunder ringing her ears. She could barely make out the shape of Zuko. He looked like he was listening to something.

"What's going-" said May, but Zuko covered her mouth with his hand. May could hear voices talking just outside the tent, and they weren't Aang, Katara, or Sokka. Lighting zoomed across the sky. The light quickly gave the shadow of a figure outside the tent. May could make out a twig sticking out of his mouth, and a strange sword in each hand. The answer hit May right in the head. The guy outside was the leader of the Freedom Fighters known as Jet. Lighting yet again soared across the sky. This time she could see about 20 other Freedom Fighters behind them.

Not good! thought May. Not good at all!
