Hey all my fans out there! I hope you like this chapter as a Christmas present.
Disclaimer: Saddly enough, I don't own Avatar: The Last Airbender…. it's not like it's sold at Kohls! But Sari is mine…. I bought her at Sears. And also I got my editor at a sale at Office Max, You should go sometime!
"Sari!" Katara said. "Sari!"
Katara was kneeling on floor of her cell with Sari in her arms. She bended the water from the floor of the cell and splashed it onto Sari's face. But Sari never woke up. She acted as if she was sleeping. Just then, Zuko walked in with their evening meal.
"What happened to her?" Zuko asked.
"I don't know. But would you please be kind enough to let Angel stay in this cell with us? It would be a very kind thing to do, I know you're not all evil." Katara said with pleading eyes.
Zuko stared into the blue pools that were Katara's eyes.
"Fine, Friends shouldn't be separated, anyway." Zuko responded.
He went over to Angel's cell and unlocked it. He grabbed her by the arm and brought her over to Katara and Sari's cell. He put her in it and went to close the door, but was stopped by Katara. She was hugging him and said "Thank You, Zuko!" Zuko wanted to push the Water Tribe peasant off of him, but that wouldn't have been nice of a prince, now was it?
"Oh, sorry." Katara said shyly. She was blushing. She stopped hugging him and walked over to Angel and Sari. Angel had put Sari on the bed, and was now shaking her by the shoulders. Zuko walked out of the cell and locked it.
For the next few days, Zuko meditated in his room non-stop, thinking about the Avatar and his banishment. The only timed he stopped was to eat (which was not that much) and was when he remembered to go to bed. Sometimes he fell asleep only to find his uncle controlling the flames of the candles, since he was having bad dreams.
After about a week of meditating, Zuko went to go take a shower and went to the girls' room to check on them.
When he opened the door, he saw Katara sitting next to Sari, who was still asleep, bending water over her face. He looked to the other bed to find that Angel was asleep; it was early in the morning. He left the girls and walked around in that maze, called a ship, until he got to the galley.
He walked through the swinging door and saw his uncle, Iroh, sitting at the table. As usual, he was drinking tea. Iroh stopped drinking his tea and asked, "So how are the prisoners doing?"
"Well, the waterbender is that girl that I interrogated when we had the waterbending scroll, and the other girl is some how special to the waterbender. When they were in the cell, I was listening in on their conversation, and I found out that the avatar isn't the last Airbender, the girl is an Airbender too. And the Kyoshi warrior is just dandy, and I let her into the water girls cell." Zuko said.
"That's great." Iroh said. He had taken out his weird "solitaire" game and started to play it.
"Uncle, I've been thinking."
"What is it you're thinking about Prince Zuko?"
"Well, the Avatar and my banishment."
"Go on, Zuko."
"Well, the Avatar just retuned a few months ago, yet my father set my goal two years ago. He must have never wanted me back. He wants Zula to be the next leader of the Fire Nation."
"So, you have finally come to your senses. I'm happy for you, Zuko. What did you think all those people were talking about when you boarded this ship for the first time?"
"Well, Uncle, I think I'm going to side with the Avatar to fight against the Fire Nation. But I don't know where to start? No one will trust me. I'm the Prince of the Fire Nation!"
"When the Avatar comes to get the girls, you can tell him, and if he doesn't listen, the girls will tell them."
Zuko sat down and ate some fish and rice the cook gave him. Then he asked the cook for some food and went to the girls' room.
He was just going to barge in; when he remembered that the girls were guests and should be treated like them. He knocked on the door, and waited for it to open. When the door opened, he saw a very sleepy Angel, since she had just woken up. Angel let Zuko in, and Zuko set the plates, which were really blocks of wood, down on the table. Katara was still sitting next to Sari.
"She still hasn't woken up?" Zuko asked.
"No, I just don't know." Katara said sadly.
"Is this common in the Water Tribes?"
"No. In fact, I've never heard of it before. I wish I could do something."
"Katara, all you can do is wait."
And with those parting words, Zuko left to for the deck.
Sokka and Aang (don't think I would forget them)
Sokka and Aang were flying on Appa, searching for Zuko's ship. They had been searching for days now, but they never got closer. Some days they were so tired that they let Momo steer Appa, or just let Appa steer himself. One day, Sokka and Aang were talking.
"Aang?" Sokka said.
"Yea, Sokka?"
"What if Zuko is hiding his ship in a iceberg."
"Do you mean frozen? Cause that'll never happen, I should know."
"No, I mean he steered his ship into a cave in the iceberg."
"Well, that's a possibility, but Zuko would never come up with a plan like that."
To be continued…
Well, there's the next chapter. I'm sorry people, but I had to make Zuko change his ways, it fits in the story better. And I know what happed to Sari, and I need your help. Should I make the next chapter all about what happened about her, or should I just keep writing until she wakes up, and then have Sari explain it later on? And I need to pick whom Sokka is going to be paired up with. Here are your choices: Suki, Angel, or unknown character.
