The Fallen Kingom
Will Zuko learn who to trust?
He stood, but that was about all he could do. The Dai Li were on him so fast he almost fell down.
"Please brother, do you really think I would trust someone like you to gaurd the throne? I'd trust a monkey over you," Azula said cruely.
Zuko's face remained stern and contorted into a mix of self idiocy and confusion, but deep down, he seethed. He knew this would happen, just not so soon. What was he going to do now?
"The trip is going to be a long one Zuzu, so, being the kind sister I am, Ty Lee, if you wouldn't mind..." the princess signaled her friend. Ty Lee nodded and cartwheeled over to Zuko. A few quick punches, and he was being dragged through the grand entryway, immobilized and unconcious.

Aang kept his head high, scanning the large city for something familiar. They had left so abruptly they had gone in a direction unrecognizable by Aang. He was still aways off from the inner wall, but if he headed straight and kept the train tracks below him in sight, he would be there in no time.

Katara ducked down low and squinted her eyes. The route she had chosen was a dark one, and several times she slipped on something slimy. She was surprised Toph hadn't fallen yet.
Yes, although Toph had been quiet, the tunnel was so wet it would be impossible for anyone not to make noise. She still thinks I don't know she's there.
"Katara!" Toph yelled. The waterbender sighed. Finally. I was wondering how long it'd take her to speak up.
Katara whirled around to face her.
"Toph, why are you following me?"
"You don't seem very surprised."
"I'm not. About my question..."
"I'm following you because you left without telling anyone. I know what you're doing, you want to help him, don't you?" Toph asked.
"Yes," she admitted.
Toph moved closer to the girl and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"Then let's go. We're wasting time here. We've got a long ways to go," Toph said. Katara nodded and they turned back the direction they were heading. They walked on, silently. Toph was completely unaware of Mom's absence.
Uh-oh, what happened to Momo? Oh, and virtual cookies to anyone who guesses exactly who Toph was talking about when she said 'You want to help him, don't you?' Emphasis on 'him', since Toph doesn't say a name. Tomorrow is Monday, joy...
