Azula looked down at the blisters on her wrist. The huge sores were obviously infected and red all around the edge. It felt like heaven to have those clanking chain off her. She, for the first time in weeks, felt free.
Getting past the guards at the loading dock was unexpectedly easy. Too drunk to even stand up straight, sneaking past them and getting onto a wagon going out took little effort. Jumping off the wagon a few miles from the prison, well, that was a different story. Gaining a few cuts Azula and Zhao set off into the woods.
They sat by the fire Azula lit, the awkwardness between them almost palpable. Azula had heard of Admiral Zhao but, had never met him personally. She knew he was very bloodthirsty which would make him a very useful part to her team.
Zhao couldn't stand the extensive silent. If they wanted to take out their threat, they needed a plan. They had both failed in the past and they both were determined not to fail again. Both of them had their honor on the line.
"We need a plan. If we attack the Avatar now we are going to lose. With his friends he's unstoppable." Azula stated mirroring Zhao's thoughts.
"You're right. We need split them up. Together they might be strong but, apart the group will be beatable. They may all think their masters but, if we build a big enough army, we can kill them off like flies." Zhao said then gave a humorless laugh.
"I know the perfect group for the job. The Dai Li agents. While in Ba Sing Se the first time, I befriended them and they were loyal to me. They are very good at what they do, attacking and observing." Azula told him poking the fire with a stick she found. Azula cast a sideways glance in Zhao direction.
"So would they be in Ba Sing Se? The Dai Li sound like the perfect men for the job." Zhao said a little too excitedly.
"Yes and I know exactly where. Before I banished them, th-" Zhao cut her off rather rudely.
"You what? Why would you banish them? How do you know they will take as their leader?"
Azula laughed, "They will take me back, the Dai Li are cowards. One threat and they will be under our control for good. I can be very intimidating" Azula evilly smiled as she made a small ball of fire in her hand and threw it at a squirrel. Then she watched it flee to the underbrush.
"I've noticed," Zhao muttered and shuttered. They stayed up the rest of the night, until the morning sun pecked it's head over the far mountains casting an orange glow on the pair. But neither of them cared, Azula and Zhao had a plan.
"SUKI!" The Kyoshi warrior ran up to the sky bison and hugged Sokka. Even though it had only been a couple weeks Suki and Sokka missed each other terribly. Since the final battle, in the few days before she left, the couple had grown together greatly.
"SOKKA! I can't believe you're here! Not to sound ungrateful, because I am, but why are you here?" Suki asked pulling away and kissing his cheek.
"We are all going to have separate vacations, because you know WE KICKED THE FIRELORDS A-"
"Yeah I got it," Suki giggled stopping him. "I would love to have you stay here and besides we still have some training to do." she said winking at him.
"Wh- Ohhhhhh OK," Sokka said winking back.
"Well, we better get going if we want to get Katara to the South Pole, you know where she is staying alone." Aang babbled retying the reins on Appa. Good thing Sokka was only half listening; he was too wrapped up in Suki to pay attention to most anything else.
"Yeah, yeah... oh you guys are leaving? Bye sis tell dad I said hi! Aang take care of her. See you guys later." Sokka tore his eyes away from Suki for two minutes to hug Katara.
"Bye Sokka, have fun! See you in awhile." Katara smiled down at him from Appa's sadle.
"We will come back to pick you up in a week. Bye Sokka, take care." Aang yelled, hoping that he didn't betray the really reason he wanted to leave so soon. He didn't have to be nervous though Sokka couldn't have been so oblivious. "Yip Yip!"
As soon as they were high enough, Katara climbed into Appa's head. She plopped straight down next to Aang. She draped her arms around him as he grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him. Katara laid her head on his shoulder. She could almost feel the heat coming from his cheeks.
"Aang I can feel you blushing," Katara giggled when she felt him tense up.
"Sorry, I um" Aang pulled away slightly.
"I'm only joking," Katara said coming to his defense. She loved how he still got flustered. It was amazingly cute and one of the many qualities she loved about him. Katara pulled him back into their previous position.
Aang laughed. He leaned and placed his forehead on top of her head. He kissed her forehead. Katara giggled slightly and looked up.
She could stare at his eyes forever. The way his gray eyes swirled with emotion when he was happy or sad or depressed. Aang looked back at Katara with such love that her stomach fluttered wildly.
Katara leaned up and closed the gap between them with a kiss. Aang eagerly responded by wrapping his arms around her waist and pulled her even closer. That's how they sat for the next couple hours to the Western air temple, hugging, kissing, and watching as the sun sank lower and lower in the sky.
