The rest of the day passed uneventfully, except for the initial inquiries by Zuko and Iroh. After dinner, however, things got MORE than a little interesting.

"I'm going to go check up on Aurora, okay?" Katara said to Zuko as she walked to the girl's room after dinner.

"I'm getting worried Katara. Why hasn't she woken up yet?" He asked, grave uncertainty in his eyes.

"I don't know, but she should be waking up soon. I'll call you if she does ok?"

"Okay…Well, good night Katara." He walked back to his room, and shut the door. She followed, but instead opened the door next to his, and went in. Like always, Aurora was lying on her bed, sleeping comfortably, untroubled by nightmares or worries. Katara sighed, and got to work. Her hands, covered in gloves of water, once more traveled over the small flat body of the sick child. Just when she was about to cap her waterskin and leave, she heard a soft moan.

"Aurora?" she whispered. Then, much to her delight, the little girl's eyes opened.

"Uhhh…mommy? Daddy? Where are you?" Aurora said softly, her voice not used to being used.

"You're awake! By the thousand icebergs you're AWAKE!" Katara cried, hugging Aurora close. "ZUKO! COME QUICK!" she shouted at the door that adjoined the rooms. Sure enough, he came running through the doorway and said, "Is everything alright? What happen- Aurora! You're awake!" he shouted, also running to her bedside and enveloping her in a hug of his own.

"Daddy…? Daddy!" she said her voice slowly gaining its former level. After he let go of her, she rubbed her eyes and said, "Miss Kat? What are you doing here?"

"I'm going to be staying here for a while to take care of you. Oh I'm so happy you're awake!" Katara replied throwing her arms once more around the little girl.

"What happened? I remember being really cold…then really warm and dizzy…then, nothing." Aurora asked, holding her head as her world started spinning after Katara let go.

"You got the Burning Sickness, little one. The doctor said only a waterbender could cure you, so I docked here in Shan-Kiri to get some help to find Katara. She's been healing you for days now." Zuko told her as her placed her on his lap. She yawned and snuggled up to him, closing her eyes contentedly.

"I think it's time for you to go to bed, little miss." Katara said as she took Aurora from Zuko and tucked her into her bed. Zuko leaned over and gave the young girl a kiss on the forehead.

"Goodnight Aurora." He said, rising.

"'Night Daddy."

"Sweet dreams little one." Katara said, also kissing the girl on the forehead.

"You too, Miss Kat." Then, both of the teenagers left the room, and closed the doors, elated that the little girl they both adored was well.

(With Admiral Monkey Face, the monkey-guy we love to hate.)

Zhao was in his room pouring over maps when a guard came to his door.

"What is it, Cho?" he said, not looking up from his maps.

"Its Princess Azula, sir. She has arrived to discuss the matter of her brother."

"Excellent." Zhao replied, rolling up the map and turning to face the man. "Please, show her in. I have some interesting information to discuss with her."

"Right away, sir!" The guard quickly set off, knowing that delay would only mean pain for him. When he returned, he announced the princess.

"Now presenting Princess Azula of the Fire Nation." He said, bowing low as she passed him.

"Your guards are very well trained Admiral. I give you my compliments." The princess said, strutting over to the desk. She wore the standard Fire Nation armor, but with a few slight modifications. Her hair was black as pitch and up in a bun with a Fire Nation clip. Her eyes were an amber brown, like most firebenders, but they held a maliciousness only Zhao could duplicate.

"Thank you, your Highness. Now, What would you like to discuss?" Zhao replied, turning his full attention to her.

"You know very well what I wish to talk about. Tell me, what news do you have of my brother?" she said as she took a seat at one of the chairs at the desk.

"For one thing, he has adopted a girl and named her his daughter."

"WHAT? When did this happen?" she shouted, grabbing Zhao by the scruff of the neck from across the table.

"Calm yourself, your Highness." He replied as he pried her fingers from his collar. "I think it was about a month ago he took that pathetic brat in."

"Hmm…How much does he care for this child?" she said as she sat once more in her chair, pondering the change in the situation.

"Very much, I would wager. He himself was caring for her when she was sick recently."

"This could possibly work to our advantage…Do you know where he is right now?" she asked.

"Last I knew he was docked at the port city of Shan-Kiri. What do you have in mind, your Highness?"

"We are going to take his precious bundle of joy. Then, we can lure him into Fire Nation waters and get him arrested for ignoring his banishment. I will be the only heir, and after my father is gone, I would rule the Fire Nation!" She said as she gloated over her plan.

"But how are we going to take her? None of my men are quiet enough for this." Zhao replied, ever the voice of reason.(A/N: NOT!)

"I know the perfect people for the job. In fact, I've already hired them. The plan will begin in a two days time. Be ready." Then, with that said, she left, leaving the Admiral to work out the minor details.

(Back with Zuko, Katara, and Aurora.)

The next morning, Zuko and Katara woke at the exact same time. Usually, it would be a marvelous feat, if they had not been woken by a scream. Both sat up straight in their beds and ran to Aurora's room, but what they found caused them to slap their foreheads at the stupidity of it.

There was Aurora, happy as could be, with Momo siting on her chest.

"MOMO! How did you get here!" she shouted excitedly. Then she noticed Zuko and Katara.

"Morning Daddy! Good morning, Miss Kat! Why are you rubbing your noses like that?" she said, her voice back to its former glory.

"Aurora, could you please NEVER scream like that again unless you're in danger? Your father and I were very worried you were hurt." Katara replied, kneeling by the little girl's bed to speak with her.

"I'm sorry, Miss Kat. I was just so excited Momo was here!"

Katara laughed. "I'm sure he's glad to see you too!" she said as she watched Momo snuggle up to Aurora's hand.

"Well, since we're all up anyway, let's go get some breakfast." Zuko said as beckoned for them to follow him. Aurora jumped up to follow, but forgot that she hadn't used her legs much, and started to wobble. Before she could fall, Katara picked her up and said, "Let's not try that again shall we?" Then, they followed Zuko back out to the galley.

A/N: Ok, so you know, I believe Ozai is insane, not evil like Azula .So, his eyes would be filled with psychotic insanity. Oh, and since everyone's wondering, Aang wasn't as worried about Katara because:

She's a master waterbender

Zuko gave them his word of honor

Blue Spirit. Must I say more?

Aang's optimistic.

Okay, the next chapter sometime in the next week or so! PLZ REVIEW!
