I do not own Avatar: Last Airbender

Zuko walked around Ba-Sing-Se, bored. He wanted to practice his firebending so he could keep getting stronger. But, being in Ba-Sing-Se and all, he couldnt find a secluded, secret place to practice. He walked for quite a bit, looking at shops and such, when he saw someone ahead of him.

She looked oddly familiar. Her hair was down her back in thick curls and was the color of melted chocolate. Her skin was just a beautiful tan. She had on a green kimono which looked like she cut it because it was only down to her knees.

She was buying a doll for this little girl. Probably her sister. But the little girl just ran off and the girl smiled. His heart beat faster as he saw her smile. She looked his way and started to frown. He saw her eyes and gasped in amazement. He did know her. She turned and she ran, dodging people like shes been known to do.

As Zuko saw her run off, he willed his feet to move, but they wouldnt. He wanted to run after her. "Faylin." He said, the name rolling off his tongue so easily. He couldnt believe it was her. She was his best friend before he was banished. He thought that she was so loyal to the fire nation. But, obviouosly, she was banished to... or shes on a mission for Admiral Zhao. Either way, he needed to find a way to talk to her again. He just had to. But what would he say. "Hey Faylin, its me, Zuko. Nice to see you after a couple of years. I forgot about you til now." Yeah that would go over smoothly. "Ill figure out a way later." He said, walking back to where he and his uncle were staying.
