Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar. If I did writing this would have been easier.

A/N: This really isn't an actual chapter. Saucebender wanted to see a goodbye between Zuko and Mai and here it is. Lemme tell you this was HARD! I know this is incredibly short but that was the point! I promise the next ACTUAL chapter is on the way.

On another note how was Halloween? I went to a pretty awesome Parade downtown called the Thriller Parade. 200+ zombies and a faux Michael Jackson Thriller danced down Main Street.

As always let me know what you think.

Oh and this little ditty is dedicated to Saucebender and SasuxSakufan because they are some of my most loyal reviewers!

Mai wondered what was so great about that waterbending girl. She stood with her arms across her folded across her chest and she watched as the girl spoke to her boyfriend. After just a few short moments he looked visibly relieved. How could she do it? Mai thought. She used to be able to be the one to calm him down.

Lately all Zuko seemed to want to do was talk about his feelings. He'd started turning away from her kisses and was actually trying to just talk to her. Was something wrong with her?

Mai decided right that moment she did not like the waterbending girl, she was feeling jealous. And she NEVER felt jealous. She could just imagine Ty Lee telling her that her normally dingy gray aura was now a vivid shade of green.

Zuko finally was walking away from the blasted waterbender and towards her. Mai uncrossed her arms as he reached for her.

"I guess I'm really leaving now," He muttered, reaching for her and pulling her in for a hug.

Mai nodded. She didn't trust herself to speak. She was afraid she would do something stupid, like her voice cracking, so for a moment she just quietly returned his hug.

He pulled back, "I'll miss you. I'll write you as much as I can."

Mai nodded and watched him turn and walk away. Finally she found the courage, "What did she say to you that I couldn't?"

He acted like he didn't hear her and continued on his way to Katara. Mai did NOT like the little waterbending girl one bit.
