(With Zuko)

Prince Zuko was miserable. He wouldn't eat unless forced, and his sleep was plagued with nightmares. He missed his daughter so much! Her innocent smile could light up a room, and a simple "It's ok Daddy" Could wash his anger away. The ship seemed dark and lifeless without her. Even the crew was sad and reclusive. It was like the wind had gone out of their sails. She was like a representation of their own daughters and sisters they had left behind. With her gone, there was no laughing, or carousing. Just backs bent to their work, relying on the toil to keep their minds off her absence. The only thing that could console the Fire Prince was bending. One day when he was practicing on deck, he spotted a bird like thing flying towards the ship. As it flew closer, he realized that it wasn't a bird, it was the Avatar's flying lemur!

" What's the Avatar's lemur doing flying towards my ship?" he asked himself. That's when he caught sight of the paper tied to the lemur's leg. Momo then landed in front of him and handed him the letter. After the letter was safely in Zuko's hands, Momo flew off; eager to get the peach his master promised him.

Zuko stared after him for a little while, then he opened the letter. This is what it said:

Dear Daddy,

I so sorry! I got lost in the woods after Monkey- Face's men came! I miss you a lot, but don't worry! Avatar Aang has set up a meeting place where you can come get me! It's Lake Tsuchi, but you have to promise not to capture him! I have to send this quickly, so I'll tell you the rest of the story later.

Love,

Aurora

He reread the letter many times, and with each time his smile grew wider and wider until he shouted "Uncle! Come and see this!"

Iroh had been watching the prince practice as he played Pai Chao with Lieutenant Jee, so he got up and walked over to the prince.

"What is it Prince Zuko?" he asked.

"Take a look for yourself, Uncle!" He said with ill-repressed glee.

That's when Iroh noticed the wide smile on his face. He grabbed the letter and quickly read it. As he did, his own smile grew.

"Lieutenant Jee!" he called. "Call all hands. We have some wonderful news!"

"Yes sir!"

Once everyone was on deck, Iroh addressed the crew.

"Men! I have wonderful news! The Princess has been located! She is currently with the Avatar, who has set up a rendezvous point for her return!"

This announcement was met with cheers, smiles, and even some tears!

"Captain!" Zuko called. "Set a course for the closest port to Lake Tsuchi!"

"Yes sir!" he replied, quickly changing course.

"How long will it take to reach the lake?" Iroh asked.

"Three days, uncle. Three days until she's back." Zuko replied, looking out to sea with new hope in his eyes.

"Thank you, Great Agni, for hearing my prayer."

(With Aang and the Gang)

A few days later, they reached the lake. Aang and Sokka made camp in the woods, while Katara and Aurora waited near the lakeshore.

"Miss Kat, why are you so nervous?" asked Aurora.

"I'm not nervous! Just a little restless is all. I'm going to practice my waterbending, wanna watch?" Katara replied.

Katara was in fact nervous, but she didn't want to show it. Prince Zuko intimidated her, and she was nervous about meeting him face to face again.

Soon, a rustling in the trees alerted them that someone was coming. Once the trees parted, Prince Zuko stepped out.

"Daddy!" Aurora called, running up to him.

"Aurora!" he replied with just as much joy. He showered her with kisses and enveloped her in a huge hug. "I missed you so much!" he said.

"I missed you too, Daddy." she replied rubbing her face into his chest.

Katara just stood there, completely dumbstruck by the Prince's display of affection. She never thought he could smile, let alone show so much joy and love for another!

"He's human! Of course he can! Just because he's Fire Nation doesn't mean he can't show love!" said her conscience.

"Your right." She replied. "I've just never seen this part of him before!"

While she was having this conversation, Zuko had let go of Aurora and stood up.

"Thank you for taking such good care of my daughter." He said, his voice shaking Katara out of her trance.

"It was no problem. She's a wonderful child." She replied.

" I know." He said, looking down at the girl. "I will give you and the Avatar a day's head start before I begin to chase you again. I trust you will use it wisely."

"Thank you, Prince Zuko." Katara said, bowing.

"It's the least I could do after returning my daughter to me." He said, also bowing. Then he took Aurora's hand in his and walked towards the edge of the forest.

"Goodbye, Miss Kat!" Aurora called over her shoulder.

"Bye Aurora! Be good!" she replied, waving.

"I will!" Aurora said, her voice slowly fading away.

"I'm going to miss that little girl." Katara said to herself as she walked quietly back to Appa.
