Me: I'm giving Mornan a cookie because she guessed so much. –gives Mornan the cookie–

Gidget: Hurry up. We don't have all day.

Me: You're still mad that I didn't take you to the mall.

Gidget: Of course I am.

Me: Anyway, I'm dedicating this chapter to Mornan. Also, I just found out that Zuko sister's name is Azula, not Zula, so I'm going to be using Azula now. Let's just hope that no one discovers that Zuko is supposed to be Azuko. That would be weird.

Disclaimer: I'm working on getting A: TLA but so far I have nothing.

Gidget: Colorcrystals forgot to mention that this happens in the early evening and the flashback happens around the time James and Sarah were telling Zuko how James taught Sarah to firebend.

A Code

Sokka studied the mysterious paper that he and Aang had found on the island where Katara and Sarah were captured.

Flashback

"Sarah! Sarah!" Aang called out.

"Katara! Katara, where are you?" Sokka cried. They had been searching the entire island for hours and hadn't found their sisters.

They both stopped dead in their tracks when they saw the ashes of a tree in front of them.

"The Fire Nation was here." Aang said, fear creeping into his voice. Had Sarah or Katara been in that tree?

Sokka looked around frantically for some sign of the girls and noticed hole in the tree he was next to. He also noticed that there was a letter carefully concealed inside.

"Aang, look at this."

Aang came over and read it. "What is it supposed to mean? It's Sarah's handwriting but the letter makes no sense."

"It makes perfect sense." Sokka told him after examining the note several times. "One thing is for sure, the girls aren't here."

"What do you mean?" Aang asked in confusion.

"I'll tell you later. Let's go." They got on Appa and left.

End Flashback

"Sokka, you promised that you would explain the letter to me. Please tell me." Aang begged.

"Okay Aang." Sokka read the letter aloud.

Dear A and S,

We have become guests aboard the Prince's ship. We are both fine and miss you terribly. Don't worry about us. A, you must help our friends seeing as I can't. I'm sure that no one knows about me except us. We hope to see you at the destination point.

Love,

Lady of the South

"What is that supposed to mean?" Aang asked.

"It's a code and it's pure genius." Sokka told him.

"I still don't get it."

"Okay, dear A and S means dear Aang and Sokka. The next sentence means that they've been captured by Zuko."

"Then why didn't the girls just say that?" Aang thought he'd never understand the way their sister's brains worked.

"Because if anyone else found the note they wouldn't know what it meant. Anyway, the next three sentences mean that they don't want us to follow them because the world is depending on you. 'I'm sure no one knows about me except us' means that she's sure no one knows she is the Lady Avatar but us four." Sokka explained.

"What about the last sentence?"

"It means that Sarah is going to try escape with Katara and meet us in Omashu."

"How do you know Sarah wrote it?"

"First of all, like you said earlier, it is her hand writing. Secondly, when she wrote Lady of the South, she means Sarah. She used part of her title so no one would know who she is because no one remembers her."

"I guess that makes sense."

"Of course it makes sense. Sarah is brilliant for leaving such a cleverly devised code."

"We are going after them, aren't we?" Aang questioned.

"Yes."

"But Sarah didn't want us to."

"Aang, Katara is a prisoner of Prince Zuko. How could we not go after them?" Sokka reasoned.

Me: I can't believe Zuko cut off his hair in the new episode of the season! I only get to watch the last five minutes and he cuts off his hair! Who else is ready to kill Zula and Ozai? Could anyone tell me what happened during the first 25 minutes of the show? I hated the new episode on Friday. Kataang makes me sick. A: TLA MUST BE ZUTARA!
