On with teh story:

Dateline: Appa:

Aang, Katara and Sokka looked at Byakko in disbelief. Byakko stared at Aang, Katara and Sokka in boredom.

"Do you people talk?" Byakko asked.

"No duh." Sokka answered.

"So. Byakko, how'd you get stuck in the chest?" Katara asked.

"Well..." Byakko started.

FLASHBACK!

Monk Gyatso led Byakko to a HUGE sanctuary in the Southern Air Temple while it was being attacked.

"Byakko, I need you to do a big favor for me." Monk Gyatso said.

"Yes?" Byakko asked. She owed Monk Gyatso. Big time. When she was 3, her parents died, Monk Gyatso raised her, and put up with her hyperness 24-7. And if you knew Byakko, that took alot of patience. Or insanity. Insanity could work too.

"I need you to climb into that chest and eat this." Monk Gyatso said as he pulled out a bright blue piece of candy.

Byakko looked at the chest, and back at Monk Gyatso's hand. It seemed a little crazy, but Monk Gyatso had never turned Byakko wrong, and Byakko loved candy.

"Sure!" Byakko said.

Before Byakko got into the chest, Monk Gyatso handed her his amulet, and gave her some ahem advice.

"Yea okay...don't talk to or take stuff from Firebenders...or strangers...cover my mouth when I sneeze, or cough, never talk with my mouth full, be polite to people and change my undies on a regular basis, got it." Byakko repeated.

"And?"

"And look for this Aang guy." Byakko said.

Byakko stuffed the candy in her mouth in one bite, and instantly fell asleep.

END FLASHBACK!

"And that's how I got here." Byakko finished proudly.

"That explained alot." Sokka said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes. He didn't believe Byakko was an airbender, she couldn't be. Except for Aang, airbenders were extinct.

"So, do y'all have names or what?" Byakko asked.

"I'm Aang, this is Katara, and this is Sokka, I have a lemur named Momo, and right now we're riding my flying bison Appa." Aang explained.

Sokka wasn't going along with this. Even if Byakko has an airbender, why could she be so easily trusted? The appearance of a cute, hyper little girl could be easy to pull off.

"Hey Byakko, if you're an airbender, you can probably use this." Sokka slyly said as he handed Byakko Aang's staff.

"Okay!" Byakko said as she grabbed the staff. She jumped off Appa and...began flying around in the sky as if she was a bird.

Sokka stared in disbelief. And then he groaned. Once again, somebody proved him wrong.

When Byakko landed on Appa's back, she, Aang and Katara began talking about the most random of things, as Sokka sulked about being proved wrong, again.

Meanwhile, on Zuko's ship...

Zuko was laying on his bed.

He needed an aspirin.

I mean, like, really NEEDED an aspirin.

Between that point and the point Otenba nearly shook him to death, she had thrown a couple of forks, yelled that she hated the Fire Nation and they were all power-hungry idiots, set his pants on fire (ironically), threw a pie in his face and, to top it all off, had clogged up every single toilet on the ship except for the one in her private bathroom, which still had its door, and she kept locked.

Zuko defiantly needed an aspirin.

And a toilet.

Zuko thought, typical, Otenba and I never got along.

OMG! 'NOTHER FLASHBACK!

Zuko, proud of himself at age 5, strutted through the gates of Omashu with Captain Zhou and his uncle. Zuko was on his way to met Princess Otenba.

"She probably likes make-up and other girl stuff." Zuko said.

As he saw King Bumi standing at the palace gates, he thought this was gonna be easy.

Man, was he wrong.

King Bumi turned around and called, "Otenba, people are here to see you!"

A voice called from within the palace, "Okay, I'm coming, Grampapa!"

In no less than three seconds, a child with scarlet, chin-length hair came out of the palace, riding a delivery basket at a tremendous speed.

King Bumi caught the basket before it hit Prince Zuko, whom had nearly wet his pants.

"Otenba, you're going to have to apologize to Prince Zuko." Bumi said to his 4-year-old granddaughter.

"Okay..." Otenba said, she turned to Zuko, and said, "I'm sorry your hair is cut in such a terrible way."

"Otenba, that's not exactly what I had you apologize for. True, his hair is cut badly, but you scared him to death and back, and you nearly ran over him." Bumi explained.

Otenba looked up at the visitors and said "Oh." in the most adorable four-year-old voice you could think of.

Later, Zuko and Otenba had been playing a game that Otenba had made up. It was called "Splash". The object of the game was to soak your opponent until he cried.

And did Zuko cry.

Otenba apologized for making Zuko wet, and proposed a way to make him dry. She lead him to a delivery chute, and asked him to sit in a basket.

Then she kicked the basket hardly, sending poor Zuko on a six-hour delivery slide ride.

A few seconds after he started the slide, Zuko heard Otenba laughing evilly (or as evilly as a four-year-old girl could), and saying, "Sucker!"

END OF FLASHBACK!

Zuko sat up, I'm going to end her reign of insanity, he thought.

He was wrong, again.

Otenba was not only tomboyish and slightly insane, she was crafty.

Very crafty.

And while Zuko wallowed in his puddle of bad memories, she had sealed the door shut and wrote "Ha Ha." on a paper and slipped it under the door. Then she turned in the direction of the laundry room, and with itching powder in hand, thought coyly to herself, This is gonna be funnier than hell.

Meanwhile, on Appa, who is conviniently above Zuko's ship.

Sokka was still sulking about being wrong, when he noticed Otenba walking around Zuko's ship.

"Hey everybody, you should take a look at this," Sokka said.

Three minutes later.

Sokka was standing behind a crate, asking "Why me?" to himself.

Because you said somebody should save her, a voice in his head said.

Sokka snuck around the ship for ten minutes and then, he found her. Sokka didn't see her face from Appa's back. She was kinda pretty, with her short scarlet hair.

And she opened her mouth and said,

"Who the hell are you?"
