Everyone, guess what? I REMEBERED MY PASSWORD! I was planning on trashing this story and simply writing a new one, but then I got a really good idea for the plotline, so you haven't gotten rid of me yet!

On a more personal note, I want to thank everyone who has reviewed this story and who has encouraged me to continue, even thought it's been on hiatus for more than a year-(Even hppartygirl who has threatened me with death if I do not continue)

And remember everyone, we don't know if she actually knows Airbenders, she just thinks she does

What a crazy morning. What a crazy week! They had dodged the Fire Nation in the last five places they had landed, and suddenly they find this girl, an Earthbender by the look of her, and she claimed to know Airbenders? What was an Avatar to do? All of these thoughts went through Katara's head as she waited - it seemed like a year or more! - for Sokka and Aang to come back with food. In fact, it was well past noon and there was still no sign of either of them when Katara began to get very worried. Turning to the girl beside her, she muttered, "What's your name, anyways?" anything to distract herself from the fact that they had had no sign of any kind from the other two members of their group. After several seconds, it appeared that there was no response from the girl.

"Hey!" on the verge of shouting, Katara impatiently called to the girl.

"What?" The annoyed response came quickly and sharply

"I asked you what your name was, after saving you, it's the least you could do to answer a simple question!"

"I heard you the first time, water girl! It's none of your business what my name is, and shouldn't you be worrying about where the others are?"

"I AM WORRYING!"

Although the screeched response ended the conversation, it hadn't ended in quite the way Katara had hoped it would. "At the very least, would you tell me what you were doing out in the middle of nowhere in a warrior's armor?"

Finally, after a prolonged silence a cry of "Ouch!" echoed across the clearing Appa had landed in. Katara, being sick of the silence, and not being in the most reasonable of moods, had pulled some water from the river they had arrived at and it had whipped the back of the girl's neck, at the junction between the armor and the helmet. Whistling innocently Katara proceeded to pretend as if nothing had happened when a rather large rock came flying past her head, barely missing her. Twisting around to face whoever had done that she saw the raven-haired girl looking haughtily back at her. Truly livid now, Katara began to raise the water in the river higher and higher until it acted as both a shield for her, and a screen to blind her rival. Convinced of her triumph, Katara was just about to send the wave of water crashing down on the girl when suddenly there was a fist in her back - an armored fist. Silently wondering how the girl had managed to flank her so quickly, she was unexpectedly thrown to the ground, and as she rolled over to see why the girl hadn't merely sunk her feet into the ground, the familiar white mask and black/red shell surrounding the figure above her turned her bewilderment to horror. With a shout she tried to warn her companion, but she saw that the girl had already been captured.

Surrounded by firebenders, the two captives were chained together and were marched across the land. Hours later, as the sun began to set, they reached a camp of the Fire Nation, where the two prisoners were allowed to sit and rest. As the commander of the unit marched up to them, Katara was almost in tears. The girl looked at her sadly and vainly tried to break the chain binding them together, and when the commander was right in front of them, she leaned over to Katara, and in a last-ditch effort to make the girl feel any bit better, she whispered, "You never told me that cute boy's name." Anything else she may have said was cut off as the commander began to speak.
