We don't own Avatar: the last airbender if we did we really wouldn't be here would we?
Liz: Oh we also don't own the song 'this one's for the girls' it's owned by Martina McBride. But it was in Liz's head
Marie: And for all people who are thinking that this is one of those story's where the two friends end up falling in love with Sokka and Zuko your wrong…sorry there is NO romance in this story their wasn't when we went and were tying to keep it as much to what we remember as possible.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At first Marie couldn't believe that Liz was really gone. She felt like she was just in a bad dream. As if in a daze she floated on to the ship and went to her room careful to lock it then for the 2nd time she burst out crying and whishing she could go home. But unlike last time their was no one there to comfort her and make her feel better.
----
Zuko was furious! 'They had let the Avatar just skip away! How could they! And that… that girl! She had helped them!' Zuko was literally flaming when he remembered the other girl, 'she was still here…hummm'.
Waking down the hall Zuko came to the room that his uncle had given to the girls he was about to open it when he stopped hearing sobs from the others side of the door.
"I want to go home, please I just want to go home…Liz where are you? I need you to be strong for me."
Zuko backed away slowly 'never mind' he thought 'I'll just go and get things ready to leave tomorrow.'
----
Marie had been crying when she heard foot steps 'it's probably some perverted solder ready to get me now that Liz isn't here.' This made her cry harder but no one tried to open the door and soon Marie fell asleep from exhaustion.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sokka was up earlier that the others, which was very odd for Sokka. He was just lying on his mat, something that girls had said was bothering him "and another thing Minster Sokka..." how did she know his name? ZUKO! He sat up, no that wasn't right Zuko didn't know there names he was to busily trying to get Aang. He lay back down then sat back up again 'what if she was a spy? No that wouldn't work either, she would have wanted go with then and after last night's fireworks she defiantly didn't want to be with them.'
Sokka looked at the mat were Liz was sleeping on. All his thought's came to a halt, HER MAT WAS EMPTY! He jumped up "she's gone!" Katara and Aang woke up with a start by this shout form Sokka.
"Who?" Katara asked rubbing her eyes.
"The girl we saved!" Katara was wide awake now.
"Were do you think she went?"
"I don't know"
"Good morning ya'll." Everyone spun around at the singsongey voice. There stood a cheerful black haired girl with a basket full of black berries.
"Your back" Aang said smiling back she looked so happy it was hard to tell she was the same girl that had yelled at all of them last night.
"Well I couldn't sleep, which is really odd for me, so I took one of your basket's and took a walk to look for food." She put the basket down "I'm really sorry for yelling at you guys last night I know you were only trying to help."
"That's ok." Aang said talking a look into the basket "I'm starving!"
They eat in silent for a wile then Sokka finely said what was bothering him since he had gotten up. "How did you know my name?"
The girl stopped eating "Oh, um, didn't you tell me?" Sokka shook his head "Oh." She looked at her food a bit uncomfortable.
"Well I'm Aang."
"And I'm Katara, what's your name?"
"Liz."
Sokka wrinkled his nose "Liz? What kind of name is that?" Katara gave her brother a shove.
"Aang told me you're a waterbender." Liz gave Katara a shy smile. "well I just founded out that I was and I'm not that good yet."
"How did you get on Zuko's ship in the first place and aren't you a little old to just learned about having bending? And why didn't you want to leave that monster in the first place?"
"Sokka for goodness sakes"
"No it's ok Katara you guy's have a right to know considering how you saved me and all." Liz took a deep breath.
"Ok I'm not really from around here in fact I live really far away. Well a few day's ago me and my best friend were having a sleep over and some how we ended up on Zuko's ship. Well he thinks we might know some way to teleport or something so he was keeping us there to see if he could use it, if it even existed, to catch Aang. But really we don't want to leave in case it has something to do with the ship or something on it." At this Liz thought of their idea that It might be the mattress, "that could take us home. Zuko has been giving us chores to do and that's when we found out that we could bend."
Liz looked around letting her Amazing story sink in finely Katara spoke. "I'll help you learn how to water bend if you want I'm not that good but I can teach you what I know." Liz gave her a HUGE smile
"Thanks a bunch Katara! I'd love that!"
So after breakfast Katara took Liz to a quite place and started to show her some small moves.
(L: I'm not going to describe them cuz there really long and it wastes time and space)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Marie woke up the next day her eyes where red from crying and her long bond hair was a mess. Not really caring about her appearance Marie just though up her hair in a pony tail and though on some of her old clothes it just wasn't going to be fun to wear her new stuff with out Liz there.
Iroh watched her walk into the mess hall "poor girl it's hard to loose a loved on." He muttered as he watched her go into the kitchen. Then he got an idea.
"Zuko I have to go to the market so a bit I'll be back soon." Zuko almost spit out his water.
"WHAT!" he yelled "we were just there! And we need to go to stay on the Avatar's trail!"
"It'll only take a moment and you need to prepare the ship for departure any way."
Iroh answered getting up Zuko let out a sigh.
"Fine but we leave in a half an hour so get back or I'm leaving with out you."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They had been practicing for a few hours when Sokka decided that was long enough and that they should get going so after telling Aang to get ready to leave he went to get Katara and Liz.
He found them by a willow Katara was helplessly laughing at something Liz was saying. "Were having lunch then were leaving." Sokka informed the girls.
"Yes sergeant sock!" Liz said giving him a fake salute. Sokka raised an eyebrow
"What?"
But Liz just started running "race you back." She yelled over her shoulder.
-----
Because Liz had a head start she won and she couldn't help but rub it in just a little. "Hey slow pokes." She said as Sokka and Katara came running in.
"You cheated!" Sokka said sitting down.
"Oh well all's fair with love and war."
Aang smiled up form Appa "time to go." He said. While the other's got on Appa Liz walked over to his face "May I have a ride?" she asked politely
"What's she doing?" Sokka asked trying to look over his sister's head Aang just shrugged. Appa gave a grunt.
"Why thank you! You're such a gentlemen." Liz did a curtsy and kissed Appa on the nose.
"Would you get on all ready!" Sokka yelled from the saddle.
"Oh for goodness sakes hold your horse Sock." Then giving Appa one final pat on the nose then got on. Sokka sat down with a huff.
"Is this what I get for saving you?" he asked more to him self then to Liz. She just shrugged
"Hey tuff luck you're the one who took me from my magic mattress."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After helping in the kitchen everyone had gone to get the ship moving but since she didn't know any thing about boats Marie had gone back to the safety of her room and started to stretch 'never know when I'm getting off so I better stay in shape in case I get back in time for nutcracker' she thought.
Suddenly there was a knock on her door Marie got nervous but she waked over and opened the door.
"Hello?"
There was no one there Marie was about to go back in when a package caught her eye bending down she picked it up she went back into her room and sat on her bed. She carefully opened the parcel and let out a gasp. In side was a beautiful red satin note book with gold embroidery. Inside there was some writing on the first page but sadly Marie count read it but she had a pretty good idea who it was from.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They landed for the evening and Sokka went to find food wile the other's set up camp. Liz had "This one's for the girls" in her head (L: when I get a song in my head it drives everyone including me crazy.). By the time Sokka got back she was on her 4th round singing it out loud with out knowing it and 6th time singing it in her head.
By the time they finished Dinner everyone including Liz was ready to kill Martina McBride for even thinking up that song.
"Were did you learn that song?" Sokka asked.
"I heard it."
"Is there anyway to make you stop singing it!" Liz stopped to think about this then spoke.
"Ummm not really, OH! I wish Ray was here! He always knows how to get a song out of my head!"
"Ray?"
"he's my brother."
Katara smiled "what's your family like?"
Liz lit up. "Well I have 4 brothers and 1 sister I'm the oldest." (L: no lie) Sokka's mouth dropped open
"that's like…6 KIDS!"
Liz smiled thinking about them "yep and we have 2 dogs and a cat who thinks he is the king of the world if not more than that." Katara, seeing how much Liz loved talking about her family, was about to ask her more but Aang beet her to it. The idea of having 5 friends living with you at all times was like to dream comes true.
"What are there names?"
"Well there's Ray's 15, Anthony's 12, Joe's 11, Rosemary's 6, and Allen's 4." Liz looked into the wide eyes of Aang "you'd love it we have so much fun together… well most of the time."
Katara looked sympathetic "you must miss them." Liz just nodded thinking about her family.
"Yes I do really miss them but I also really miss my friend I came here with at least I know that my family is ok but…" her voice trailed off
"Was that funny looking girl you were with your friend?" Aang asked.
Flash back:
Marie and Liz were watching as some men carried big boxes of food onto Zuko's ship. All of a sudden one stopped
"Look at that girl's hair."
All the men stopped what they were doing and turned toward Mare
"How did you get your hair like that?"
"Where are you from?"
"It's so pretty."
"May I have a lock?" at this Marie jumped back clutching her hair
"NO WAY!"
"Please."
"Hey leave her alone!"
"My daughter always wanted hair like that."
"I believe you have a job to do." These sharp everyone turned to see Zuko standing with his arms folded over his chest. "Now back to work I want to leave bye 2:00 or you don't get paid!"
With this everyone got hastily back to work leaving a confused Marie and a giggling Liz, who had found the whole thing hilarious.
-End flash back-
Liz smiled "yep Marie has been getting a lot of fans with her long gold hair."
Sokka just yawned "We should go bed. We're going to be traveling tomorrow if you want to get to the North Pole in time."
Liz walked to her mat her mind on her best friend and how much she whished she was there with her.
