Chapter 3

"Wow, look at all this stuff said Aang in amazement

"And this food," said Sokka

"Sokka, I'm just as hungry as you are, but we're out of money to spend," said Katara.

"No matter," said Faith "We're…"

Suddenly Sokka cut her off

"No mater!? No matter?!" said Sokka with anger in his voice, "I'm sitting here hungry and all you can say is no matter?"

"Sokka, Let Faith finish what she was going to say," said Katara angrily

"Thanks Katara. Anyway I about to say, we're going to have a big feast in a few minutes up at the dinning hall."

"What for?" asked Aang.

"Why for you Aang." She answered. "Come on let's get going before it's too late."

Everyone followed Faith with empty stomachs ready for a feast.

"Uncle, what are you doing with her and why are you not in your cell?" asked Zuko angrily as he walked into the dinning hall.

I said nothing and looked away, but Iroh answered Zuko calmly.

"She was having some calming tea with me. She was so upset that I thought it might help."

"What she needed was to be in the cell," shouted Zuko.

Slowly tears started falling down my face. Then I spoke.

"Prince Zuko, to you I may look like a northern water tribe pheasant, but in my mind I respect you and the fire nation. The truth is that I rather be a fire nation pheasant."

Silently, I walked past Zuko back to my cell.

Right as I walked back into my cell Zuko asked me a question from the doorway.

"Did you just say back there that you wanted to be part of the fire nation?"

"Yes, I can even fire bend" I said showing him.

Suddenly Zuko smiled then said, "Guards, get this girl some proper fire nation clothing."

Then turned and left.
