Longshot, she wailed, the tears she swore off after Jet's death now came rushing back. They chorused down her cheeks as she gripped the rough wet hand of her beloved. Her friend, her love, her life. There was no one in the ugly underground prison but them.

When I see your smile. Tears run down my face, I can't replace and now that I'm strong I have figured out, how this world turns cold embracing my soul, and I know I'll find, deep inside me, I can be the one

I will never let you fall I'll stand up with you forever. I'll be there for you through it all

Its ok... it's ok. It's ok.

Azula had just left after dealing the final blow, and there was no spirit water to help them. Katara was their only hope, but she was too busy fending off the fire nation with Aang and Toph. No one had time for the innocent silent archer who took Smellerbee's punishment.

Even if saving you sends me to heaven.

Longshot gripped her hand back and gave a small wan smile. The sight of it nearly broke her heart. She tried to focus on the mud dripping from the pipes, the dirt on the bloodstained floor, anything from looking at the black burn in the centre of Longshot's heart.

Seasons are changing and waves are crashing and stars are falling all for us. Days grow warmer and nights grow shorter. I can show you I can be the one.

She laid her head on his chest as her tears fell hard and fast onto the cold iron of his armor. This time, it hadn't helped him much. She quickly stripped him from his armor and held onto him fast.

I will never let you fall, I'll stand up for u forever, I'll stand up with you forever.

Longshot breathed raggedly, feeling the small girl's hand upon his. Don't worry, he said softly. I'll be ok.

Cuz you're my... you're my... my. My true love, my whole world, please don't move not a word.

I will never let you fall, I'll stand up for you forever, even if saving you sends me to heaven.

As the sun began to appear from the tips of the clouds, Longshot breathed his last.

, and I know I'll be ok, though my skies are turning gray. I will never let you fall, I'll stand up with you forever. I'll be there for you though it all, I will never let you fall...

Don't worry Smellerbee...

And then

Even if saving you sends me to heaven

I love you.
