Okay, Okay, people! I get it! I have short chapters okay? But I will try my hardest to make it ALAP ( As long as possible). So, CALM DOWN! Geesh!

So we grew up as vigilantes, even though Zuko, his royal-highness refused to believe that we were that. He says that we are "helpers of the common people" and " recognizers of the pain government causes", whatever that means. Now, he is 18, and I'm 17. I'm better at my waterbending now. Better than ever before, and I have incorporated my waterbending moves with firebending moves, since that's all I see now. We're stopping at an Earth Kingdom port, now. I hope we don't run into any trouble. I'm still sore from fighting the soilders at the colonies. Uncle Iroh says that the Earth Kingdom has the best remedies for backaches. And tea. And roast duck. Iroh and I have a great realationship. He was like a second father to me, while I was on the ship, being the only girl, I guess I don't act like regular girls would, but then again I don't know what they act like. Anyway, we're at the port now. My nose automatically smells roast duck and jasmine tea, and Uncle Iroh looks like the foaming-mouth-i-don't-know-if-he-has-rabees dude we met on Kyoshi Island. I hope we don't stay too long. Uncle Iroh will spend all of our gold pieces, gain 20 pounds, and then Zuko will go crazy, and then I will have to pick up the remains of the poor soilder that was in Zuko's anger-fueled line of fire. Trust me, it WILL be a problem. So I just gently lead Iroh back into his room, and promise him 2 plates of roast duck (yes, with the special extra delicious sauce they only serve at Chow Ming's)and a pitcher of Jasmine Tea (yes, with the special metal tea strainers, and I will get the high-quality one at Lone's). But I want some fresh air, not the air that smells of salt and seagull poop. So I am the first one off that stinking (Literally) ship. I hear commotion a few yards in front of me, and I go see what's wrong. There's a little girl there, about 12 or so, and her milky green eyes peak my interest for a second before I actually see what is going on. She's yelling.
" I can take care of myself!" she was yelling at a middle-aged couple, who were trying desperately to calm her down, and not attract all that attention. But it was of no consequence. She just kept on yelling.
Finally, she just ran. She broke out running, and landed right on top of me. She mumbled a quick "Excuse me" before she stubled over me, and tried to run again, but I had her. I asked her if she wanted to be free, and she nodded. Her parents were coming, and fast. I broke out running, heading straight for the ship. I made it, yelling
"GO, GO, GO!"
The ship set sail just in time. And I collapsed from exaustion, dropping the girl in the process. Here I am, helping a total stranger, whose name I don't even know, Zuko's going to kill me, I have m=just made myself the enemy of a probably a very wealthy family, judging from their clothes, and I am collapsed on the deck of where my lemur-bat Momo, just "did his business". Yeah, I'm crazy. But looked up at her, and she looked up at me, and she smiled. I smiled too, and asked her her name.
"Toph, my name is Toph."
I know, this is still a little short, but it's better, right? Right? Please say it's better than the last. You know the drill, R&R!
