Chapter 3: My Day on the Ship
"So how was your week Shawn?" Nico asked as we walked on the ship.
"It was okay. I went to catch fish with Sokka and he tried to put his hand around my waist, but don't worry I water whipped him!" I said proudly. He just laughed, he knew I liked Sokka but he wouldn't allow it he said it had soemthing to do with a "pre-arranged marrage" that my father had made for me. But me and Sokka didn't care we still kissed. "How was your week?" I asked right as Prince Zuko walked in.
"Oh mine was great! I had to set up for a ball that you are going with me too. Then I had to spend a whole day on the ship and then I saw you!" Zuko said with a grin on his face.
"Really! I'm going with you? What's the ball for?" I said jumping up and down. "Oh my gosh! That means I have to go shopping! And you both are coming with." I said with my hands no my hips and did the puppy face.
"Yes you're going with me. It's called the 'Ball of Dragons'. And we are not goin shopping with you. You know that puppy face doesn't work on me. We have to get Nico, here, a date." Prince Zuko said. "And that's final."
"Why don't you make some cookies? The Fire-Lord is dying to have some of your cookies." Nico said in a sing-song-voice and pushing me into the kitchen.
"Oh fine!" I said and started baking. As I was think to mysel flames started coming out of my hands, I was too busy mimicking Nico and Zuko to notice though. Then all the sprinklers went off in the kitchen. "My clothes!" I screamed.
"WHAT IN THE WORLD HAPPEND!" Nico and Zuko both exclaimed as Zuko shut off the sprinklers. "What happend?" Both boys asked with confused looks on their faces.
"I don't know I was just mixing the ingredients and the next thing I know, I was drenched with water." I said irritated because I was drenched and only wearing my undershirt and shorts.
"Well what were you thinking about?" Nico asked pondering over something.
"All I was thinking was how you guys weren't going to go shopping with me and I got mad. Then boom! Water everywhere." I said while shivering. "And these are my last clean clothes!"
"Here I'll let you wear some of my clothes." Zuko said and grabbed my hand and lead me to his room. "Nico," He whispered, "I think she was fire bending!" He said astonished.
"That's what I was thinking too...but it can't be! Only the Avatar can bend more than one element." Nico said still thinking.
"Well the last Avatar was an airbender right?" Zuko asked.
"Yeah and the next is a water-" Nico stopped what he was saying. "Oh..."
"Exactly!" Zuko said just as I was coming out of his room.
"I feel better! So what to do? What to do?" I said to myself mostly. As the boys looked at each other and smiled. I stared at them a little confused but mostly scared. "What are you guys thinking?"
"Come on Nico let's get changed. Shawn meet us in the 'practice room' in five minutes!" Zuko said then slammed his door.
"Hmmm...That was weird..." I said to myself. "What would we do in the 'practice room'?" I started bending water as soon as I got in the room, relaxing myself at first then getting into more difficult tricks, just as the boys walked in. Once I was done they applauded and while I was bowing we all started laughing. "So what are we going to do?"
"Just watch us and then copy." Zuko said in that one voice that he knew annoyed me so much. The guys did a simple trick first. I followed this trick, that everyone has tried to have me do, with my eyes closed.
"Daddy...Why do I have to do this I can't do the fire tricks like you!" The little girl said to her dad who was very content on getting this little girl to do firebending.
"Because you live in the land full of firebenders you should at least know the firebending moves so you can counter them." He said still showing her moves.
"Honey, you know she's a waterbender and she can only do waterbending so stop pushing her!" The mother said.
This is the story I was watching in my head as the flames were sprouting out of my hand as I was getting madder and madder at my dad.
"Shawn open your eyes and keep doing the trick!" Nico said and I did as I was told.
