Hi! I'm back again from the buckeye state and I'm writing a new chapter because I want to. This may be different from what you expect, but oh well.

By the way, Yèrì is pronounced Cherry (if I understood right) and means DayNight.

Sorry if there are many spelling errors. Well disclaimer and of we go!

Disclaimer: Hello Mr. or Mrs. person-who-is-checking-my-disclaimer. Nice to meet you. You probably read about hundreds of disclaimers a day and still you read on and check if the disclaimer is correct. But that isn't the matter you are reading this, or? Of course it is! Daily thousands of people write that sentence down – that one sentence that assures you that that person isn't breaking any laws a.k.a. copyrights. As you also might know is that 99.999 of the people writing that sentence don't own it. Because if they would, we would already know what that person will be writing because we saw it on television. Well, but I'll write my disclaimer to stay legal, but think of all the time you're wasting checking those disclaimers. I do not own Avatar: the Last Airbender or the song "Ironic" by Alanis Morissette. Satisfied?

Chapter five: Water's secrets

I woke up at the same time as the rising sun. Tonight is music night. How 'wonderful'! At least I'm going to train before that. But first I'm going to meditate for a bit.

While doing so, I had to think of the training we did yesterday evening. I had tried to picture Lisa water bending but every time I tried I saw Katara. It was strange. She seems so familiar...

Oh well, at least I know that I won't go to music night. Yes, I won't go no matter what!

My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Good morning, Prince Zuko, can I come in?"

"Yes, Uncle."

He slowly entered the room.

"I'm supposed to ask you if you could come to train."

"Of course. So how was your game of Pai Sho? Normally I wouldn't even bother asking, but this is getting interesting."

"I lost, again. It's like she knows exactly what my next move will be."

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

I was forming an ice dummy when I heard footsteps coming closer.

"Zuko, are you ready to aim?" I asked without turning around.

"Sure, why shouldn't I?" He answered.

"Okay, then get in your stance."

Turning around I saw he was staring at me.

"Why are you staring at me?"

"Hmm...What?"

"Forget it! Get into your stance. Well, after you get enough water or lightning aim at the dummy by doing this."

It was the water whip move. The only move I regret trying at night time. Oh well...

An hour later I decided to train his ability to focus.

"Zuzu, would you mind trying a little harder." He just ignored it. "I mean even Sokka is better at this and he's not even bender!" His eye started to twitch. "Zuzu, Azula could beat you in a second if you don't try harder…" The lightning exploded and Zuko defiantly lost control over his temper. "…to concentrate on the lightning and not on my words."

I quickly made a water shield before the fire he shot at me came near.

"Let's continue with broadswords" I said, grinning widely.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Good morning, Yèrì, did you sleep well?" Toph asked smiling broadly. "Sure, did you have nice dreams?" Toph smiled a little and answered a shy "Yes, very nice indeed..."

"Well, let's train."

"Since you can feel my movement in the earth I don't have to explain much."

I started to move so that a stone staircase would carve itself to the water below us but nothing happened.

"Why did nothing happen?" Toph asked confused. "I don't know" I responded, but suddenly I could see how my earth bending skills flowed into Toph.

"Toph, I don't think I can teach you anymore" I said with a sad smile. "Why?" "My skills just got sucked in by you."

Toph laughed out loud and when she calmed down she said (still giggling) "Good one, Yèrì, good one."

"It's not a joke." Toph looked at me baffled. "This is spooky." "Actually, it isn't at all." I corrected her. "I think since I'm with the avatar and his teacher… I guess my fighting skills are already with Sokka then… and the water bending with Katara and fire with her companion… and air bending with Aang." I began thinking. "So since I'm a half-spirit my power goes to the avatar and his friends now I met the most of them. So I only have to wait three weeks till its full moon and then my soul is free."

Toph's expression was blank. Then she asked "What know?" "I'm going to show´ you the moves and you do them." "Okay."

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Let's spare." I said after the training with broad swords. "A bending match."

"Fine, even though it's still two hours till sunset. I'll win anyways." Katara said smiling as if she had already won.

"I wouldn't be so sure over that." I retorted smirking as well.

"Whatever."

We both got into our stances. She began by freezing my feet to the ground but before I could make the next move his uncle interrupted.

"I'm sorry to say that you two have to leave the deck so that we can prepare for music night. Prince Zuko, are you going to join tonight since Miss Katara is going to be there? It would be such a shame if you wouldn't come."

I first looked at Uncle and then at Katara. "I only will come if you sing tonight."

"That seems a little unfair." She retorted with a thoughtful expression. "I will only sing if you dance one song with me."

"Do we have a deal?" I held my hand right in front of the water bender.

"Sure." She shook my hand.

When I wanted to leave I couldn't move my feet an inch and I remembered that they where still frozen to the ground. "I could use a little help here."

Katara smiled and bended the water back into the ocean. But I still couldn't move. "What's happening here?" "But I unfroze everything. You should be able to move." "As you can see I can't."

Katara tried again and I could feel my feet again. "That was so weird." She mumbled to herself.

"Well see you two guys later." My uncle said while pushing us to the staircase that leads under deck.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

I was on deck just as the sun went down. I was wearing a white dress with sleeves to my elbows and silver linings and with my hair was in a bun that two silver chopsticks held together. My traditional hair loops were still framing my face.

When I turned around I could see Zuko wearing a black outfit (as seen in episode 18).

It was turning darker the second and suddenly Iroh lit all the torches he had set on the deck. "Let music night begin!" Iroh smiled happily and the crew began to cheer.

A waltz was the second song that was played. Zuko stood in front of me and asked "Would you dance with me?" He even bowed a bit. I beamed at him. "Of course I would like to dance with you." I took his hand and he led me to the makeshift dance floor. As we where dancing across the deck I felt like I was dreaming. How wonderfully real this dream was. I looked in his face and suddenly a wave of guild came over me. His hands were so warm but I couldn't even enjoy it because he didn't know the truth. Suddenly the music stopped and I was shaken back into reality.

I had to tell him. "Zuko, there's something you must know."

"Tell me after you sang." He said smirking a little. My wave of guilt went away after he had said that. "Okay. Iroh, do you have a guitar?"

"What are you going to do with a fire nation instrument?"

"Play on it of course."

"Okay." Iroh gave me the required instrument and added. "I think it has to be tuned." I nodded silently and tuned it while I sat dawn on one of the bigger drums.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

While Katara was tuning everyone took a seat around her. I watched in amazement as she began to strum some accords on the fire nation's most famous instrument. Then with a crystal clear and at the beginning, unsure voice she sang.

"An old man turned ninety-eight
He won a lot of money and died the next day
It's a black fly in your chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought... it figures

Mr. "Play It Safe" was afraid to fly
He packed all his stuff and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the bison crashed down he thought
"Well, isn't this nice."
And isn't this ironic... don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up in your face

A gate control when you're already late
killed by the war when love was your fate
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic... and yeah I really do think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny funny way of helping you out
Helping you out"

Still amazed everybody applauded.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Zuko, I have to talk to you right away." She had sounded so much like Lisa. Her voice was identical. "Who are you?" I was still wondering why had said this words when she answered "My name is Katara from the Southern Water Tribe but you know me better as Lisa."

MUHAHA! Cliff hanger! How will Zuko react? More next time on Rain is Falling…

Sneak Peak of the next episode: Since the moment she had stepped a foot on the deck it had stopped raining but now it was pouring again…

Till as soon as possible
