Chapter 8: A life on Earth
Normal POV
The next day, Femke woke up yawning, rubbing her eyes out lazily before she looked to her side, smiling as she saw P'li was lying next to her, smiling a little as she seemed to be fast asleep.
'That was a strange dream yester…' I started my thought, but I stopped in the middle when I saw Zaheer, lying on the floor next to his bed. 'It wasn't a dream! Zaheer is back with us!' I thought as I carefully slipped out of bed and got dressed before I went downstairs. My adoptive mother Anna was already awake and busy making breakfast, while master Xai Bau was looking at an Earth newspaper.
"I must say, Earth seems to have their own set of problems." The older man observed as he looked at Femke coming into the living room holding a cup of coffee.
"Yeah, things are a little different here then in your world. We have a lot more electronic stuff." Femke said as she pointed to the television with the remote, which made it instantly go on.
"I know that's a mover device. Varrick invented those." Xai Bau said as he walked to the television and watched as the news broadcasts of the Prime Minister of the Netherlands visiting a country that has been long in war with the Netherlands over resources.
"Well, we call it a television and it was invented a long time ago here." Femke explained as she sat down and looked at Prime Minister Jan Patrollo walking down the stairs of his airplane and over a red carpet to the leader of the other country.
"What's with the stiffneck with the strange haircut?" Ghazan asked as he sat down on the side of the bench and looked at the images on the television, not at all thinking it was strange or scary what he was seeing, even though it must be the first time he saw a television.
"He is elected as the Prime Minister of the Netherlands, visiting a country in the East were war is raging right now, but that country has a long history with the Netherlands In the way of war as well." Femke explained as she pointed at the man with the blonde hair that pointed up in a spiky way, who gave the black haired man that stood tall before him a hand.
"Do you guys elect all your leaders here?" Ming Hua yawned as she came in as well, wearing my bathrobe with snoopy print over a nightgown she had most likely picked from my drawer last evening after I had passed out. It looked good on her.
"Most of our countries. Though some don't. Those are mostly the countries that are in fights as to who will get the power." Femke said as she smiled at P'li who came and sit next to her and looked warily at the television.
"Like the country we're in. We still have a King." Femke said as she nodded to the television were king Alex the sixth and his family just arrived in Spain for a formal meeting with the leader of Spain to talk about matters of states.
"They shouldn't. Kings and Queens are mostly tyrants who only think about themselves." Xai Bau stated firmly, which made Femke giggle.
"Still with that ideology i see. Well Kings and Queens are just like everything in the world; a little different." I smiled as I turned on another channel where a more in-depth report was being shown about the political visit of the King and Queen to spain together with their three daughters who were waving happily at the crowd as they walked over the red carpet.
"I still can't wrap my head around people actually liking Royalty." Xai Bau muttered as he looked at the programming in disgust, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"There are people in this world who think Kings and Queens are a thing of the past as well." I replied as I looked at the television with a sad look, remembering there have been countless attempts on the members of our Royal Family's lives over the years.
"But some people still like the Kings and Queens of this world, though some of them are more an icon in this world then that they really rule the Kingdom." I said, and it was true. the King and Queen did do part of the ruling, not like the Earth Queen who ruled the kingdom mostly on her own and terrorized everyone who was against her.
In this country the Ministers also had a say in every matter and those people were elected and mostly not corrupt.
"Wait, here the king and queen aren't in absolute control?" Xai Bau asked. "Like what happened with the Earth King and Long Feng?"
"Not at all, the Senate and House of Representatives do most of the ruling work and those people get elected every year." I replied smiling, which made P'li look up at me with a smile as well.
"Sounds great. That means at least things go fair and square. Mostly." P'li smiled, knowing all full well that every person could be persuaded to corruption.
"Just like you said: mostly it goes well, there have been some scandals over the years, admittedly." I said, remembering all those headlines in the papers saying another politician had been caught doing something corrupt for which they were removed from power.
"But if they're caught and they can prove he did something wrong he is fired as a minister." I said as I turned the channel to another where the weather forecast was announced.
"To change the subject. The mover device looks like it works differently then that thing Varrick used to show his movers on. How does it work?" P'li asked as she looked at the television with a raised eyebrow were the Weatherman was just telling the weather forecast of tomorrow.
"Technology is a little different from your world." Femke explained smiling at P'li, who smiled as she looked at the television again as some children's programming started.
"At least nothing seems dangerous around here like in those Nuktuk movers." Xai Bau grinned, since he had seen the movers Varrick had made with Bolin in the leading role.
"True, we don't really have doomsday devices here. Just regular bombs. Which is bad enough if you ask me since those things can do a lot of damage." Femke said, remembering all too well the history lessons about the Second World War.
"Are the bombs here different well from the ones we use as well?" Ghazan asked as he slouched on the couch.
"Well, we have Nuclear Bombs which are very dangerous." Femke said as she looked to the other side.
Femke's POV
After that explanation, Zaheer came in, yawning as he rubbed out his eyes.
"I don't know people, but it is nine in the morning, some people want to sleep." He said as he stretched a little.
"Coffee is on the counter, if you like you can grab some." I told Zaheer calmly as I looked at him with a small smile. He was still wearing his prison clothes, but his hair was a little shorter and he had taken a shower.
'He sure does look handsome in those.' I started to think, but shook my head as I caught myself. 'Come on, Femke! You just lost Grovyle. Most likely to Celebi, get a grip.' I told myself firmly as I watched Zaheer walk to the kitchen and reappear with a cup of coffee a moment later.
"Never been match of a morning person, have you?" Ghazan commented, smirking as he took a sip from his own coffee.
"I hate mornings. Especially right after three years of prison." Zaheer smirked as he sat down next to me and yawned again, which made his hand touched my shoulder lightly. As soon as Zaheer felt this, he quickly retreated his hand and looked away from me with a blush on his face.
"So what are the plans? Are we going to spend the rest of our days on Earth holed up in an apartment?" Zaheer asked as he took a sip from his coffee.
"We wanted to wait a few weeks here so you can get some rest and recover from your prison sentence, then we go back and start training to save the world." I said as I sipped my own coffee. The others nodded to confirm this.
"You know, last time I recovered as fast as I did because of fresh air and the freedom of the world. I don't have to stay cooped up here to recover." Zaheer said as he looked at his friends.
"We know, but the White Lotus will be on our tails if we show up somewhere in your world with you now." Ming Hua said, reminding Zaheer that they were still wanted there. "We promised to better ourselves, Zaheer. If we show up with you now, they will assume we busted you out." She continued.
"Which we didn't." Ghazan added as he folded his arms behind his head and looked at the two who did.
"So we just stay here for a few weeks, which will be a few months in the Avatar World because time moves differently here, so the search for you will have piped down by then." I explained as I looked at Xai Bau with a small smile who nodded in return.
"I will announce I was the one who freed you in a few days and tell them you wanted to quit the Red Lotus as well to be with your friends." Xai Bau said as he gave Zaheer a stern look, Tziza nodded.
"Would that be wise? Wouldn't that only make that they will know where to find me?" Zaheer questioned with a raised eyebrow, not so sure if the plan of his master would work.
"They will if I announce the Red Lotus has been disbanded before I do so." Xai Bau said with a smile on his face.
"No, I think Zaheer is right" I said as I got up and looked at Xai Bau. "Just say he is in a safe place and won't cause trouble again. If they were to know Zaheer is with us again they will hunt us down." I said as I looked at Xai Bau sternly. "We don't want them to hunt us down. We need to be able to train our powers in peace." I said, knowing it would take a lot of time and effort to train to get all four elements. Things would only more difficult if we had to flee from one place to the other to avoid capture.
"Okay, if you insist." Xai Bau said with a sigh as he plopped back in his chair.
P'li's POV
"So until then I thought it is about time I get to ride that bicycle thing Femke keeps talking about." I smirked as I looked at femke who smirked back.
"Okay, let's go.." Femke smiled.
'Though for the people here it might already be odd that we as adults don't know how to use a bicycle.' I thought as I walked to the kitchen with Femke who went upstairs where she opened her drawers and started to look over her clothes.
"I have plenty of clothes for this planet, if you want to borrow some." Femke smiled as she offered me a yellow t-shirt with a man on it who had whirlpools as eyes and pointed a similar weapon in the air as femke always wore her belt and had it held out before her on the photo her adoptive mother had shown us yesterday.
"Joey dalton from the Lucky Luke series." Femke grinned as she held up the shirt so I could take a better look at it.
"He looks dangerous." I grinned as I took it over and placed it down, then searched through Femke's other clothes. Most off her shirts had funny prints on them with either animals doing something funny or cartoon creatures acting silly. In the end i chose one shirt with a print on it of a cartoon creature called 'Animal' from the muppets movies Femke had told me about, as well as a pair of blue pants.
"They don't fit." I stated as I looked at my new getup with a frown, since they were hanging around my body in a sloppy way.
"Which would have been a problem if you didn't have a best friend with magic fingers." Femke smiled after which she waved her hand, making the clothes so that they fit me perfectly.
"Nice." I smirked as I looked at myself in the mirror that stood in a corner of the room.
"I look so different. Never thought I ever would after all that time under Mogui."
"Well, you can dress however you want around me." Femke started as she came to stand next to me and wrapped an arm around me. With that she gave me a brush. I used it to comb my hair, which had grown out quite a bit.
"You were blinded by all the lies that Warlord told you and your mission to see it."
The Brunette smiled as I finished brushing and took a ribbon to tie my hair in a ponytail.
When I came down the others looked at me strangely. Since i seemingly looked quite differently now.
"Looking good, 'Li" Ghazan smirked as he came down as well, wearing some blue jeans as well, together with a black t-shirt were the text "Rock You" printed on his chest, while Zaheer wore a grey t-shirt with a strange yellow man printed on it, holding a hammer and a pin in his hands which he was trying to put into the wall. 'slow man at work' the text above and under the print said.
"Okay, let's go. Where's Ming?" Ghazan asked as he looked for a sign her, but there was none. "I'll handle this one." He said, before he dashed up the stairs and out of sight.
Ming hua"s POV
I was sleeping in a bed on Earth. It was very comfortable, yet somehow this warmth and comfort seemed to call upon a very odd dream. One I never had before in my life.
00000000000000000000Dream000000000000
"A princess! A princess is born to the water tribe!" Ming Hua heard a strange voice call out.
"What's her name?" she heard another voice ask, sounding excited about the news.
"Princess MingHua Akira-Ai." The first voice called, after which a loud applause was heard.
"Long live princess MingHua! Long live King Galor and Queen Ami!" Many voices called.
I was lying somewhere soft, there was something warm wrapped around me and above me hang a beautiful mobile with two happy playing Polar Bear pups as a lovely tune played. I wanted to reach for it, but I wasn't able to since I had no arms, yet I felt something soft rub against my cheek, I tried to turn my head, and as my body somehow reacted I saw to my great surprise my plush Polar Bear Dog Ami was lying next to me.
"Ming Hua darling, uncle Tonraq wants to meet you." A sweet voice called out from above me, and as it did a voice of a older version of me showed up above me and lifted my very small feeling body up in her comfortable arms, and when she did so I saw a crown on her head, meaning whoever this woman was, was royalty.
'What's going on here? Is that me in the future nursing my child? No, she has arms, that can't be it.' I thought as my eyes skimmed around the room, which was light, very beautiful and as the dream baby somehow gazed the way I wanted them to gaze to, they fell on the man that stood next to the woman that held me, who looked like chief Tonraq, only around thirty years younger, smiling as he handed a small package.
'What is going on here? You should hate me. Why aren't you trying to kill me?' I wondered as the woman opened the package while pretending it was me who was opening it. Smiling as she got a heart formed necklace out that beared the same playing Polar Bear Dogs on it as the one's that hang above my crib.
'MingHua' The Kanji above the symbol said, and as Tonraq opened it she could see a picture of two people that looked relatively like me, both wearing royal accesories, holding a smaller looking version of me in a loving way.
'Right. if that was me I wouldn't have ended up like…' I started my thoughts, but stopped as the room turned dark all of a sudden and I was feeling like I was lying in a crib again. Suddenly i felt someone picked me up. Some rustling around me and when I looked in the eyes of the one that carried me I gasped in horror. My mother, Mina Hua.
00000000000000000000000end of dream0000000000000000000000000000000000
"No!" I gasped as I sat up, looking around, dazed. For a moment I had no idea where I was, that was until Ghazan showed up.
"Just wanted to say Li is finally going to try that non-motorized bike Femke told us so much about and you were screaming in your sleep." Ghazan said as he looked at me with a grin.
"Great. Now get lost so i can get dressed." I snapped at him, not wanting him around right now. Not after that weird dream. I rather wished Femke or P'li came upstairs.
"Sure thing." Ghazan said before heading downstairs.
"Zan. Did you try to wake Ming?" I heard Femke's voice call out on the stairs, sounding rather annoyed.
"Didn't have to." I heard Ghazan reply, and a sigh coming from Femke following after that.
"Zan, I said 'wake her up' not 'scare the crap out of her'. You're lucky she let you leave in one piece." Femke said, which made me grin. Maybe I should've just diced him.
"Well, she is awake. I'm getting breakfast." Ghazan said, after which he went downstairs.
"Morning, Ming." Femke said as she walked into the room and opened the curtains. "Did you sleep well?"
"I had a strange dream. For the rest I slept great." I said dryly as I watched Femke open a drawer and started to get out some clothes.
"What kind of dream?" Femke asked as she looked up at me
.
"I saw a man and a woman looking much like me. They were some sort of royalty. They had a baby and I felt like I was the child." I stumbled as I tried to describe the dream to Femke, who now came to sit next to me, wrapping an arm around me when I told her I saw my mother take the baby from the palace right before I woke up.
"Wow, that is one heavy dream but as far as I know only Eska and Desna were born to Water Tribe royalty and Tonraq and Unalaq before that." Femke said as she gave me a pondering look.
"Whoever that woman was, she called Tonraq the child's uncle. Did Tonraq and Unalaq have a sister?" I asked, knowing Femke had been in the position to ask about these kind of things when Unalaq was still around.
Femke's POV
"Well, he did mention a older sister. But not that she had a child. Nor that this child was stolen from her." I replied after a moment of silence in which I tried to recall the one conversation I had with Unalaq, right before he kissed me on that stage. An image that still horrified me when I thought about it.
"Maybe if we could visit the Northern Water Tribe we could try and find out if she did."
Ming Hua said as she gave me a firm look. "Besides it is the place to learn those boneheads waterbending." She added with a grin, and I couldn't help but grin as well. Though I felt Ming had a deeper reason for wanting to know whether or not her dream had been real.
'Her parents. Or the people she always believed to be her parents didn't care one bit about her. If there are people who truly love and care about her, of course she wants them back.' A voice in my head said as I looked at the ceiling for a moment, thinking about this. I looked at Ming Hua, who was looking at the stacks of clothes with a raised eyebrow, not getting my sense of fashion.
"As we travel, we could visit the Northern Water Tribe but to get the truth, well, we might have to face the people that claim to be your parents. Do you think you're up to that?" I asked with a stern voice, not because I thought she was weak. But I knew her parents had caused her a lot of pain. It was just that I was wondering if she was willing to face her past to get to the bottom of her dream.
"I will be by the time we're going." She said as she picked up a light blue shirt with a darker blue spiral on it, looking at it with a cocked head.
"What is with the odd fashion around here?" She asked as she held the shirt up my way and made a face like she didn't like it, which made me laugh, since Ming Hua never had commented about any of my clothes before.
"I don't like fancy. This is best they have apart from designers clothes, which are way more expensive." I said with a grin as I shrunk the shirt with my powers so it would fit Ming, who looked at it with a raised eyebrow.
"You think I like that?" She asked me with a raised nose, though I could feel she was lying. Probably just to save face.
"I can feel you're lying" I smirked at her, which made she smirked at me widely before she tried the shirt on and as she did I had to hold back a gasp, it really looked very well on her. Far better than It had ever looked on me.
"Looks good on you." I complimented, smiling as I gave her a pair of plain jeans to cover up the lack of her legs.
"Thanks, though this feels very strange." Ming Hua said as she took over a hairbrush to do her hair in a ponytail, before we headed downstairs and into the backyard to get my bicycle from the garden shed.
'I hope the thing isn't broken, that would be a bummer.' I thought as I made my way to the back and got my bicycle, trying to not look at the small pink tricycle that had belonged to Christie, because the memories of her and Grovyle still stung in my heart.
"Got it! I better get some air back in the wheels. I haven't used it for so long." I called to the others as I came out with the bicycle in my hand, which made the four Red Lotus members come closer as I put my bicycle on it's stand and got back in to get the pump, still trying to avoid to look at Christie's small tricycle standing in the corner.
"Where's the engine? How will it gain enough speed to balance without an engine?" P'li commented.
"You'll find out soon enough." I smiled as I pumped up the wheels and then handed the thing to her after we walked out of the back yard though the gate.
"Now what you want do is sit on the saddle, kick the paddles and keep the steering wheel of your bike straight like you would a motorcycle." I explained as I handed the bicycle to P'li now, who took it over and sat on the saddle a little uncomfortable.
"You're your own engine." I joked lightly, do this was the first mistake I made as well when I was on the bicycle for the first time, right after my adoptive mother had taken me in. P'li tried this, only to waver and hit a wall.
"Sure. That makes sense." P'li backfired jokingly as she dusted herself off and got onto the bicycle again.
"I thought that part was obvious." I smiled as I gave P'li a playful push before we tried again. This time she managed to reach the end of the back porch, before she hit the wall again.
"Next time, try the brakes." I said, pointing them out.
"Now you tell me." P'li joked as she got up again and rode a little over the road now on her own, using the brakes to slow down a little to get the hang of that as well.
"I'm actually getting the hang of this." P'li smiled as she rode up and down the street two times, which was relatively safe since there weren't many cars in our street.
"Others might want to try it out, too." Ming Hua called in an annoyed way, since even do this has all been P'li's idea she really wanted to try the bicycle as well now, and so did the other two.
"Okay then." P'li smiled, stopping easier this time and getting of before she handed the bicycle to Zaheer, who looked at her, surprised.
P"li's POV
"Here you go." I smirked, since Zaheer had been snickering both times I had bumped into a wall, so now I wanted to see how he would be doing on a bicycle.
"Okay." zaheer smirked as he took the bicycle back to the back porch and got up. He managed to speed up a little, before he smashed straight into a wall.
"Not as easy as it seems." I smirked as I walked to him and helped him up again while Ming Hua got up the bike and before Zaheer could do anything she had gotten onto the saddle and bended her water into both arms and legs, seemingly trying to focus on keeping both going she tried to do what we did as well, which failed utterly and made she smacked down on the ground hard.
"Great, bicycling is just not going to work if you have no actual limbs." Ming Hua snapped as she picked herself up from the ground with her water limbs.
"Something it just takes a little more practice. You know, I didn't get it right for years either." Femke smiled as Zaheer got onto the bicycle again.
"Did you do so without limbs?" Ming challenged as she watched Zaheer smash into a wall yet again, which made me snigger.
"No, but I know it takes time, practice and balance. Things I know you have in you." Femke smiled as we all watched Zaheer finally managing to reach the end of the street, only to almost bump into a car, causing the man behind the wheel to point at his forehead in a frustrated way.
"Sorry!" Zaheer called as he waved at the man in an apologizing way, then got back on his bicycle.
"Good going! Almost hit a car! Even i didn't manage that!" I called to him as Femke's adoptive mother got another bicycle from the shed and handed it to Ghazan, who took it over with a smirk, before he acted like he wanted to ride in on me, turning away on the last possible second.
"Look! No…!" he started his line, but because he looked back at me he didn't watched where he was heading and smashed into a fence.
"That poor fence is taking a lot of punishment." I smirked as Femke made two copies of the two bicycles and handed me one, holding the other one while Ming Hua, still sour, took a hold of the other one.
"Go on, I'll be here to help."Femke told her smiling at which Ming nodded and bended her water arms and legs again, trying both to focus on keeping them in tact and paddling with her water legs while she had to use her water arms to steer. Femke stayed close and helped her speed up, before she let go, which went well first, before she lost control over her water limbs all off a sudden and fell. Hard.
"And here I thought I was the only one who wasn't going to get it done." Ghazan smirked as he rode by, instantly riding into a wall as he kept his eyes on Ming who lied on the ground and, to my shock, looked like she was close to crying.
Ming Hua's POV
"Not as easy as it seems." P'li smirked as Femke walked to Zaheer and helped him onto his feet again, while I walked to the bicycle and got it into my water arms. The thing was kinda heavy, but not too heavy for me.
'Now let's see if I can ride on this thing.' I thought smirking before looking down with a gasp when I realized I forgot something. For this you need legs as well as arms, which posed a problem since they were gone and I couldn't just bend some new ones right away.
'I almost forgot about those damn things.' I thought as I tried to make water legs, which was difficult since I needed joints for the paddles, but as soon as I tried to move my water legs while I kept my water arms around the steering wheels, I lost control of both, which made me fall on the ground. Hard.
"Bicycling is just not going to work if you have no actual limbs." I snapped as I got up with my water limbs.
"Something it just takes a little more practice. You know, I didn't get it right for years either." Femke smiled at me as Zaheer got onto the bicycle again, not even bothering to ask if I was alright.
'Not that I want him to.' I thought with a smirk on my face, since I knew they knew me well enough to know that would happen if they were worried over my well being. I can handle myself.
"Did you do so without limbs?" I therefore huffed in reply to Femke's words as we watched Zaheer smash into a wall yet again, which made P'li snicker a little at the sight of zaheer smash into a wall, amused he couldn't seemed to get it done either.
"No, but I know it takes time, practice and balance. Things I know you have in you." Femke told me as she smiled, while we all watched Zaheer finally managing to reach the end of the back porch, only to almost smash into a car, causing the man behind the wheel to point at his forehead in a frustrated way.
"Sorry!" Zaheer called as he waved at the man in an apologizing way, then got back on his bicycle.
"Good going! Almost hit a car! I didn't manage that!" P'li called to him in a teasing way as Femke's adoptive mother got another bicycle from the shed and handed it to Ghazan, who took it over with a smirk, before he acted like he wanted to ride in on P'li, turning away on the last possible second.
"Look! No…!" He started his line, but because he looked back at me he didn't watch where he was heading and smashed into the fence.
"That poor fence is taking a lot of punishment." P'li called to Zaheer with a smirk on her face as Femke made two copies of the two bicycles and handed P'li one, handing me the other one so I could place myself on it somewhat apprehensively.
"Go on. I'll be here to help." Femke told me smiling, at which I nodded, at one hand happy she wanted to help me and on the other end annoyed she kept treating me like a helpless child. As I bent my water arms and legs again, trying both to focus on keeping them in tact and paddling with my water legs to get this thing going while I had to use her water arms to steer. Femke stayed close to me all this time and helped me speed up a little before she let go, which went well first, and almost made me believe I was going to get it done, before I lost control over her water limbs again all off a sudden and fell even harder this time.
"And here I thought I was the only one who wasn't going to get it done." Ghazan said as he rode by with a victorious smirk on his face, instantly riding into a wall as he kept his eyes focused on me, which made me snicker at first, before I realized he was right. If I didn't manage to get my joints of my water limbs to work, I would never be able to do this.
"Failure. Can't handle something as simple as a bicycle." The voice of my father called in my head, which made me shrink in fear, even after all this time and all the things I have been through, his voice still made me shudder like mere five year old who got scolded for naughty behavior. All because I was a failure to the family to him.
"I'm trying father, I really am I'm just not good at very precise jobs." The voice of a younger me called in my head as I felt two soft hands wrapped around me as I heard a voice call out 'what's wrong?' near me.
'I have to keep trying. I am not weak I am not a failure' I thought as I closed my eyes and tried to keep my tears from falling, since I didn't wanted to cry near people. They couldn't see me weak. Never.
"But you are weak. You are nothing but a big failure. It was a mistake to keep you alive." My father's voice called in my head.
'I am not weak. I'm not.' I thought back as I felt the tears grow stronger in my eyes. That was until I suddenly heard Femke sang the very familiar sounding song she always sang to me but strangely, this made another unfamiliar song suddenly appear in my head.
Polar Bears play in the sun, happy and carefree
Someday you will know how the world became, just like me
I will be here to love and guide you as the sun will rise high
I will always be there until the day I die
Polar Bear dog, Polar Bear dog play in the sun
Growing and having fun
You're so small and your so young, unaware of what's around you
But you will be saved and you will be loved, by those who stand around you
'What is that song?. It sounds so familiar. It says I am being loved. But I'm not. Not by my parents.' I thought as I stirred to get up but couldn't and with the song playing, I passed out.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
And with that I end the eighth chapter of my story! I hope you all liked it! I'm sorry it is a bit long, but I needed to space out certain events here, so I needed all the space I took now, sorry.
A/N:
I thought it would be nice to bring up some of the inner workings of our world, since they had been so against world leaders before and monarchy is still a big part of the Earth's culture, e bad people like the Earth Queen and Fire Lord Ozai.
At though of course the ruling of the king there is far different than the ruling of a king here on Earth. I thought it would just be nice to bring up, so they could see that not all world leaders are
long last P'li got to try a bicycle! I think Femke would lack in instructing a little which would result in some bumps, but she would pick it up soon enough, since it looked to me like they're quick learners.
Yeah, Ming Hua's lack of legs and lacks is getting in the way of quickly learning how to use the bicycle, since she would most likely just use her water arms to move around now, just like she did in the series while fighting, but using legs for riding would mean trying to incorporate their joints, which would be difficult even for her.
Well, that was all for now! Thanks for reading and thanks paranoidgirl for doing such a awesome job as Beta Reader and adviser.
