You probably noticed that Chapter 2 was shorter than the first chapter. Well, I've finally gotten to the chapter I've been waiting for!

Chapter 3: The New Boy Part One: In Comes Kuzon

A few months have passed and the it was near the end of the first quarter. On Ji walked into Ms. Kwan's class. She sat herself down and repeated what she had done for the past few days. A few minutes into class, the door opened and a boy was pushed in. On Ji and the rest of the class looked up at the boy. He was wearing a headband and seemed taken aback by being enrolled in the Fire Nation School.

"Oh," Ms. Kwan said, "is this a new mind ready for molding?" To On Ji, the boy's response was a little unusual.

"Yup! Let the molding begin!" the boy said as he knocked his head.

"Strange kid," On Ji thought, "but slightly cute!"

"Wait a minute!" Ms. Kwan said. Before continuing, she gasped.

"You're not from the Fire Nation…!" Ms. Kwan continued, investigating the boy, "clearly you are from the colonies!"

"Yeah! The colonies!" the boy said, "Of course! The Fire Nation Colonies in the Earth Kingdom!" Slightly peeved, Ms. Kwan quickly went to correcting the boy.

"Your etiquette is terrible!" she scolded, "In the homeland, we bow to our elders!" Ms. Kwan bowed.

"Like so…!" she said.

"Sorry, ma'am!" the boy said. He bowed, but Ms. Kwan tapped his hands, trying to correct his form. The boy looked over at On Ji, who showed him the form he was to take when bowing to an elder. The boy did so and Ms. Kwan was pleased with it.

"And we DON'T wear head coverings indoors!" she snapped, tapping his head.

"Um…" the boy said, scratching his head, "I have a scar. It's really embarrassing!"

"Very well," Ms. Kwan said, "What is your name? Or should we just call you 'Mannerless Colony Slob?!" The boy chuckled and said, "Just slob is fine…!" He then turned and faced the class.

"Or… Uh… Kuzon!" the boy said.

"Very well, Kuzon! Your seat is right there!" Ms. Kwan said, pointing at a desk in the dead center of the classroom. Kuzon walked to his desk and sat down.

"Now then," Ms. Kwan said, "as I was saying, the Dragon of the West, General Iroh, laid siege to Ba Sing Se! He broke through the outer wall of Ba Sing Se in the year of 94 AG. The siege lasted for 600 days. Unfortunately for General Iroh and the Fire Nation, his son, Lu Ten, was killed during the siege. This greatly decreased his morale. Soon after, he ended the siege,"

After the day was out, On Ji saw Kuzon walking across the campus. When a small monkey popped out of his shirt, she walked up to him.

"Don't let the Headmaster catch you with that monkey," On Ji said. Kuzon turned around.

"What monkey?" he asked innocently.

"Don't worry," On Ji said, "I'm not a tattletale. My name's On Ji!" Kuzon smiled.

"I like your headband by the way!" she continued. Before she could finish, Hide bumped Kuzon aside and put his arm around On Ji, who just rolled her eyes.

"On Ji," Hide said, "you don't have to babysit the new kid!" Kuzon smiled widely.

"Wow," Kuzon said while bowing, "you must be one of those popular kids I've been hearing about!"

"That's right," Hide said, "Now listen, friend! I know you're from the colonies, so I'll say this slowly: On Ji is. My. Girlfriend! Don't forget it!" he finished, tapping Kuzon's chest. The monkey tried to get out again, but Kuzon just pushed it back in his shirt and chuckled nervously. With that, On Ji and Hide walked away.

"You don't have to point out that we're a couple to every new kid, Hide! They'll find out about that eventually," On Ji, annoyed, "Besides, I'm just being nice! You know I do that to all the new kids! Try to make friends with them. That's it!"

Shoji was running up to Kuzon, stunned that Hide hadn't beaten him up.

"I don't believe it," Shoji said in shock, "he didn't beat you up. Not even a little…" Kuzon turned to face Shoji.

"Guess I'm just lucky," Kuzon said.

"We were on our way to play hide and explode," Shoji said, "you wanna come?"

"I'd love to!" Kuzon said, following Shoji and a few other kids. He followed Shoji into an isolated part of the island. The game went on for a couple hours before the kids had to go home.

"That was so much fun, Kuzon!" Shoji said.

"Yeah!" Kuzon said, "see you tomorrow!"

Yes. I am going to be referring to Aang as Kuzon in this story instead of Aang. I hope you enjoyed that chapter! I really enjoyed writing it!
