Katara eyed the clothed figure suspiciously as they continue to deny the food that was offered. Why in the world was they denying the food, unless, they did not want their identity revealed. She could not even tell if the person was female or male, old or young, because they wore heavy clothing. The person name is Rei, sounded like a girl's name, but could not be sure. Heck, the heavy cloth around their mouth muffle their voice.
The waterbender frown annoyingly as Sokka tried to flirt with the mask figure, she prayed that the person was a male just to see the look on Sokka's face. Toph kept reminding everyone, especially Sokka, that Rei was a firebender and every firebender they ran into was bad news. Aang seemed to had fun talking to the mysterious being, trying to learn everything he could from the person; he found them so amazing that he asked them to be his teacher for firebending. The guest raised their eyebrows in surprise and widen their mysterious purple eyes.
"I don't think I can kid," Rei mumbled and resulted in Sokka reminding them that they are not kids. "I'm kind of in a predicament right now and I am having rough times. I would love too, but I may be putting you guys in danger-"
"I knew you was no good," Toph shouted and stood up rapidly, sliding her foot forward causing the rock the person was sitting on falling across the field.
"Lets not jump to conclusion!" Aang shouted and ran to help her, but his steps went deeper into the ground the more he ran. Soon, he was buried in the ground from the chest down, causing a twitch in his eyebrow.
"I don't want to fight!" came the muffled voice as they jumped only to get knock down again. Toph slowly advance towards the clothed figure as they struggle to get away from the young girl. Who would of thought a group of kids was such a major threat? However, as she jumped from one of Toph attacks, a pile of dirt jumped from the ground and on top of the prey. Toph smiled in triumph as everyone else watched horrified. However, the dirt that pummeled the intruder slowly begun to melt and relieving a lovable gasp from Sokka.
There, in the melted pool of clay, was a heavy breathing female dressed in all black as her fully bloomed chest, in Sokka's eyes, fell up and down to match her angered breathing. Her ninja-like outfit fit her curves perfectly as Sokka slowly floated towards her with hearts within his eyes. Toph quickly stopped him by slamming her hand in his face and raised a curious eyebrow at the female. Her sweaty silky hair blanketed her as sweat beamed from her forehead. With a quick swift from her hand, a thin slice of fire flew towards Toph and Sokka, which she stopped with a wall of rocks.
"I told you I don't want to fight you!" Rei yelled as she stood up and half of her hair flowed in front of her which caused Sokka to see the must beautiful woman in the world. He dove towards her legs and clamped them tightly, not wanting to let this dream pass by. The teenage face turned to disgust as Sokka drooled heavenly. She tried to shake him off, but he was holding on for dear life. "Eww, get off of me you nasty pervert!" Before anything could be proceeded, a blast of water sent Sokka flying a few feet away.
"Ka-ta-ra! Why did you do that?" Sokka yelled and squeezed the water from his clothing and hair. Katara blinked in confusion, only to state that she did not blast him, even though she wanted to.
"Looking for me?" a soft, timid voice stated as everyone looked their sides, Rei's eyes widen with joy. A female of the same structure as Rei smiled innocently at the group as she held a bucket of water under one arm. She wore the same attire as Rei only hers was a dark blue. Her short, silky, blue hair matched perfectly with her bright eyes.
"Ami!"

Zuko rode quickly on his ostrich horse as quickly as possible. He didn't mean to fall asleep near the river, and defiantly not wonder about the memory that resurfaced into his sleep. Uncle was still unconscious and very vulnerable in the place he was resting at. Commanding his ride to go faster, his face twisted up at the thought of anything happening to his uncle.
Approaching the abandoning hut upon the desert hill, he jumped off his ostrich horse and dashed into the hut.
"Uncle!" he shouted and ran to the entrance of the door. His body relaxed a bit after seeing his uncle resting peacefully. He released a sigh of relief as he stumbled into the hut and sat next to his uncle. He removed the rag that covered his uncle wound and winced at the damages. Wiping the blood that still lingered, he could not help but think of the wrongs of Azula's actions and how she been torturing his life since he was born.

Zuko watched as Rei drunk the last of the tea hungrily. She clenched her stomach and eyed the prince, knowing he was not use to being hungry. However, she grew respect for the prince after learning how his father treated him compared to his sister. Zuko turned his head towards the window, seeing it was still morning.
"How about we go look for something to eat?" Zuko asked, causing the peasant girl to eye him. "Your mother is ill and I don't think she should go without eating."
"Haunting for a hog in the forest is a dangerous thing. They travel in packs and will chase you until the very end. Besides, I don't want to harm a whole family just to get one."
"You do not have to, just find one that strays away from everyone else."
Rei eyed him for a moment, hesitant about the suggestion but agreed when her stomach growled loudly. She went to inform her mother on the mission and met Zuko outside of the shrine. Rei could not help but wander why he followed her. She mean really, why chase her home where it is completely dangerous? She only shrugged the thought off and pulled at his finely crafted sleeve. However, she stopped to feel the rest of his arm, then traveled down to his stomach.
What the heck? Zuko only watched as Rei felt his body with a lost look in her eyes. When she begun to travel downwards...
"What are you doing! Stop!" he exclaimed and slapped her hands away with a blush on his face. He suddenly felt violated and begun to straighten his clothing again. He was now quite fond of girls yet, found them stupid. They giggled and whispered while pointing; don't they know how rude that is? Besides, he knew this girl couldn't have reached puberty yet.
"Sorry, I was just feeling the materials of your attire. Um, my mother and I use to have stuff like that," Rei only mumbled and begun to walk off. Zuko couldn't help but feel pity for the girl. It must have been horrible to lose everything like that. Oh, he could not see himself without his belongings that only a prince like himself could have. But enough about him, no...it was about him. When he becomes the Fire Lord he will win the war and stop the mayhem so that nothing like this could happen to another being.
While he was gloating in the moment, Rei only stared at the dumb expression on his face. The expression of pride and royalty, the expression of people she hated. Yet, she could not find any hatred towards the prince. His lifestyle was not fancy, seeing that he gets little respect from his father and his mother disappeared one fine morning. Kid had it hard she guess, but no where near as hard as herself.
"Look!" Zuko lightly shouted as he stopped the both of them. Pushing her into a bush, he pointed to a group of wild hogs that grazed at the grass. "Now all we have to do is sit here and wait for one to walk off by himself."
"Sounds great and all, but why don't you just go home and be fed ridiculously large amounts of food that will just be thrown out, huh? I mean, why are you helping me? It's not like royalty to come down and help someone catch dinner."
"Because...I like you, simply put."
Rei felt her whole body go red as the words floated out of his mouth. He...he...he... liked her? Out of all the people, he chose some peasant girl? She never been liked before (she was the fullest of a tomboy) and certainly not by a prince, that was only in fairytales! Besides, would his father even accept her, the person who defeated, and most defiantly humiliated, his daughter? She guess that did not matter, something would be worked out and her mother would be proud as well! She could even get her mother the right medicine! Even if she did not completely like him like that, she sure she would grow on him and the most important concern right now is to get her mother cured for whatever cost.
Zuko, out of the corner of his eye, noticed she had her eyes to the sky and clasped her chin with her hands. Oh dear, girls always seem to get the wrong idea. "I mean as a friend."
A gush of wind swirled by as Rei sat frozen in the same position. However, she turned her devil filled eyes toward him, causing Zuko to crawl back some. One more thing about girls, they seem to have sudden mood swings. She clenched her teeth in rage and sprang towards him, only to have him roll away. The wild hogs heard the rampage and scattered off, causing Zuko to mope; having to sit there for nothing.
"How, how dare you say it like that! You don't know anything about girls!" Rei shouted with rage and continued to clench and unclench her hands. Zuko was about to argue what did he do wrong, but immediately paused after seeing the tears swell in her eyes and her hiccupping softly. "You...you let my hopes get so high, my heart sing with joy, then you just...ugh, I hate you, jerk! Just go and leave my mother and I alone to rot in peace!"
With that said, she stormed back home, the tears managing to escape the barricade of emotions. Zuko only stared dumbfounded at the sky, what in the world did he do wrong!
