Alrighty then. Here we go with Chapter Two. I was bored so I am giving you another chapter early. I am waiting for comments though. You think that you people would be kind enough to comment me. But noooo you just look over my story. Oh well. I will write another chapter anyway.

Chapter two: In Seclusion on the Ocean.

"Standing at the Bow of a ship in weather like this can be very dangerous, Miss." The man behind her said. "All the rest of the crew has retired to their rooms to wait out the storm. Maybe you should do so as well. For your own safety."

"No" She replied without taking her eyes off the ocean.

"Well, would you prefer to come and have some tea with me?" The man asked politely.

"Uncle? What are you doing? Ah! Miss? What is your name anyway?" She turned and looked at her addresser. He was just a teenager. About her age. Though she couldn't say for sure. His face was adorned with a hideous scar; his hair was about chin length. She flinched in disgust at the sight of him. He was much taller than she was but still, not all that intimidating.

"Zida." She answered.

"Well then, Zida. What is your purpose on my ship?" She could no longer restrain herself.

"YOUR SHIP!" Her laughter took over her. Tears ran from her eyes as she tried to regain her conposure.

"Is something funny to you?" The boy asked.

"Sorry. It's just hard to see YOU with a ship. You are a captain? I could see him the captain maybe." She pointed to Iroh. "But not you. Never you!" Zuko scowled.

"what are you doing here then!" Zuko yelled. Getting angry. This got Zida's fired up as well.

"Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to get angry at me?" She yelled back.

" I am Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation. Son of Ursa and Ozai! And what, may I ask, gives you the right to even be on my ship?"

"I've been assigned as a new recruit on this ship. Do you have a problem with that!"

"Of course I do! There are no women on my ship! You'll never make it!" He struck a nerve.

"No women! NO WOMEN! I am so sick and tired of the men in my once proud nation! Now the only thing women are even permitted to do is tend the nest! I will NOT be seen as some woman! I am just as powerful as any man! And I will prove it if it costs me my life!" The light storm clouds that had formed were swirling and turning darker and darker before their eyes. And electric bolt came down to it's unknowing conductor, and struck her unconscious.
