Hey peeps, I know, it's been like FOREVER since i've posted a new chapie. Well, let's just say my internet is retarded! I found out what my story is going to be. I still appreciate some pointers though. I have a lot of the chapters done, and please, don't judge me for mis spellings, stupid auto correct. I'll post a few chapies today then. ENJOY!

Ray woke up to eight eyes staring at her. She sat with her head in her lap, knowing that questions were going to be asked. Her lip began to quiver.

"Ok little mis, who are you?" Toph asked

"Ya, who are you really." Aang asked

"Princess Rayan." she whispered, so quietly that almost Toph didn't hear.

"Why didn't you tell us who you were, or who your related to?" Katara asked

"I was scared." there was a pause. "I didn't know how you'd react. Only a number of people know, Sokka being one of them." she said a bit louder.

Everyones eyes averted from Ray to Sokka.

"How did Snoozes find out?" Toph asked, disbelief in her voice

"You know those 2/3 days i've went out, it was to see Ray. She told me who she really was and I promised not to tell. She told me it was going to be her last day. Then you ran into her the day after and she stayed." Sokka explained

"Huh, that makes more sence." Toph said

"My brother doesn't think i'm worth his time. He doesn't consider me as family. I'm only his adopted sister." she sneered the last part .

There was silence.

Aang finally talked. "So why aren't you living with him. What happened to your parents?"

He knew that he had crossed the line when Katara gave him a small glare.

"He threw me out, so his bear could have more room. He thought I was garbage, useless and I don't feel conferable talking about my mom and dad."

"So what happened to you?" Katara asked

"I was banished. Thrown out of my own home to fend for myself. I was only 10 when I was thrown into the world for myself. I decided to take lessons with the twin swords. Girls aren't aloud to train though, so it was hard finding a teacher. I found one in the fire nation named Piando. He taught me for three years, I had stayed with him. Then I ran. Ran from everything. I then figured who I really was. Someone that only my mom really knows."

"So why did you return?" Aang asked

"I was traveling with a friend that I ran into in the forest. He was on the run so I decided to go with him. That's when Ba Sing Se was the only safe place for him. I followed. I left him previously because old memories where haunting me."

There was another long piece of silence. Katara spoke up and said, "Sorry for asking. We probably shouldn't of. It was rude."

"It's fine. I just don't want to tell you the little thing of information I found out."

"That's fine." Katara said with a smile.

"So, to get this day started, let's have a fun day to relax." said Sokka. I mean we all deserve it." he added

Everyone agreed and headed their separated ways. Aang and Momo went to search for Appa, Sokka went to explore the city, Katara and Toph went to the spa, and Ray decided to pop in on Iroh and Zuko.

As Ray was walking up the stairs, she saw a little commotion inside. There was a girl flirting with Zuko. Something inside of her bursted. She was so mad. 'Wait, am I jealous?' She asked herself. The girl started to walk out of the door and Ray's mind was racing. ' What should I do? Uh...' she looked around franticly. She raced to the ally way right before the girl saw her.

Ray walked to a nearby window and listened to the conversation going on. She could hear Iroh's voice booming through the window and Zuko's annoyed one.

"Uncle, you should have let me decide." Zuko said with a hint of a whine in his voice.

"Yes, but then you would have refused her."

Ray couldn't hear much after that. She did decide to follow her friend around though. Just to see what he would do.

Ray had followed him everywhere they went, though was sure to keep her distance. By the end of the night she was heartbroken. She was devastated when they kissed. Ray thought that Zuko had feelings for her, but obviously not. She quit following them after the kiss. She didn't care anymore. Zuko may have been the first one she liked, but wasn't the first one to hurt her heart. She slowly trudged back to the house where everyone would ask her about her day. Ray would say she didn't want to talk about it, but on the inside, she was dying for someone to know what she felt.

Once in the quiet home, Ray took a deep breath and headed to her room, hoping not to be stopped by anyone. She was successful. She fell into a fitful sleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. Her emotions had been played with.

Once again, she and Sokka were the first ones awake. They sat on the porch silently. Ray was trying to find words to tell Sokka how she was feeling, they just wouldn't form.

Finally Sokka spoke first. A hint of a blush was on his face. "So...I was wondering, well, I, um of...you know, grown to uh like you." he stuttered

"Go on." Ray said smiling. He moved his eyes down and scratched the back of his neck.

"Do you want to go out and get like breakfast or lunch or something sometime?" His cheeks were stained red.

"Like a date?" she pushed, a smile covering her lips.

"Yeah."

A small chuckled left her lips. "I'd love to." and with that, she kissed his cheek and walked inside.

A big grin was on his face as he let a sigh of relief out.

Ray, Aang, and Katara headed out in the morning to look for Appa. Sokka stayed home to paint missing photos of Appa. Toph stayed to 'keep Sokka company.'

"We found a printer to make our posters." Katara explained joyfully as the three returned.

"Hey, I thought designing the lost Appa posters was my job. I've been working all day on my Appa." he said as he held his picture up.

"Sokka, the arrow is on Appa's head." Aang said as Katara tried not laughing. Ray watched against the wall with a smirk on her face.

"This is his head." Sokka said, turning the page.

"Why are feet coming out of it?" Katara asked

"Those are his horns." He slumped. "I haven't seen him in a while, ok."

"It looks just like him to me." Toph said sarcastically

"Thank you. I worked really hard, why do you feel the need to do that?" Sokka asked

Ray snickered

"Let's just stick with the professional version." Katara said

Sokka took it by ripping his poster into shreds. Ray laughed some more.

"Come on, let's get busy!" Aang said excitedly, while handing out posters to the others. They split up to cover more ground in hanging up the posters.

Aang came rushing in. "I just finished dropping all of the flyers. Has anyone come in with news yet?" he asked anxiously

Ray tuned him out and watched as Toph was laying down and throwing a ball against the wall and catching it again. She watched intently as the others conversed. She was sitting against the wall and decided to close her eyes. She ended up falling asleep.

She awoke at the words of 'Lake Lougi.' Her eyes shot open. She saw the others crowded at the door and a women standing there.

They were having a conversation when she heard Katara mention the name Joo Dee. She stood up and walked up to the others.

"Dropping flyers and putting up posters are not permitted..." Ray tuned them out again. She couldn't think straight. 'Why didn't I think about it! Lake Lougi is the only prison hold that is big enough for Appa. And it's run by Long Feng.'

She was brought out of her trance by Joo Dee. "Ya, lets break some rules!" she yelled and bust the side of the house. Ray just shook her head.

They headed out to put up posters, even after the warning from Joe Dee. Toph had thrown a fit that she couldn't go by herself.

"Why! because you don't think I can put posters up myself?" She put the poster on backwards.

She ended up just going with Sokka. Aang went on his own while Katara and Ray went together.

The day went on as the two girls went around town placing up posters. Their feet started to hurt.

A voice startled them both. "Katara."

They both turned around and Katara gasped.

"I think I can help you." Jet said with a sly smile.

Katara bent the water from the fountains towards him. "Katara I've changed." he yelled before water attacked him. He was pushed to the wall in the ally nearby.

"Tell it to some other girl Jet." Katara said as she threw ice picks at him

"I don't want to fight you, I'm here to help." he dodged and blocked with his hooks. He crossed them and threw them on the ground.

The two girls closed in on him. He reached behind him to pull something out as Katara froze his shirt and pants to the wall.

"Katara, what is it?" Sokka asked as he, Aang, and Toph ran up

"Jets back." she said

Ray was so confused. She took a few steps back to talk to Toph. "What did he do?" Toph shrugged

"We can't trust anything Jet says."

"But we don't even know why he's here." Sokka defended

"I don't care why he's here." she yelled. Sokka jumped a little. "Whatever the reason can't be good."

"I'm here to help you find Appa." he proclaimed as a message unrolled from his hand. It was a missing Appa poster.

"Katara, we have to give him a chance." Toph said. Katara crossed her arms and Ray looked confused.

"I swear I've changed. I was a troubled person and I let my anger get out of control. But I don't even have the gang anymore. I've put that all behind me." he protested

Ray tuned them out as she became bored. She sat against the wall with a sigh. They finished the little interrogation and She stood up. "Finally." she explained

They walked to a barn with a lying old man that was sweeping fur. Ray picked up a clump.

Jet tagged along.

"Was this guy your boyfriend or something?" Toph asked. Ray bursted into laughter as Katara tried to deny it.

"What. No!"

"I can tell your lying." Toph mused as Katara raced out

"Nice." RAy said

They walked for a while and were trying to figure out a plan to Whale Tale Island. Jet and Ray were catching up.

"Do you know him?" Sokka asked

"Ya, we met on the boat ride into the city." Ray said

"Jet!" yelled a voice. Ray looked back and saw Smellerbee and Longshot.

"I though you said you didn't have your gang anymore." Katara boiled with anger

"I don't." He said as Smellerbee ran and hugged him.

"We were so worried about you." she said "How did you escape the Di Lee?" Ray and Katara's face flushed as smellerbee said this.

"The Di Lee?" Katara shouted

"I don't know what she is talking about."

"He got arrested by the Di Lee a couple weeks ago. We saw them drag him away." Smellerbee protested.

"Why would I be arrested? I've been living peacefully in the city."

"This doesn't make any sense. They're both telling the truth." Toph said

Ray wanted to tell them about Lake Laougi, but was scared that her brother would find out.

"That's impossible." Katara said.

"No it's not. Toph can't tell who is telling the truth because..."

"Jet's been brian washed." Ray said stepping to the front of the group.

"That's crazy, it can't be." Jet said. "Stay away from me."

Every one stepped closer, circling him.

They took him to their house to recover his memory. Everyone except for Ray and Longshot were asking him where he was taken to.

"I have something to say." Ray admitted

"What?" Aang asked, turning to the doorway where she was standing.

"I think I know where he and Appa were taken to. Lake Laougi."

They all tried to jog his memory. Then Katara did when she used her healing on his head.

"They took me to a headquarters under the water. Like a lake."

"It's the place." Ray said

"Wait, remember what Joo Dee said. She said she went on a vacation to Lake Laougi."

"I just said that the place we are looking for is Lake Lougi." Ray said

"That's it." Jet said standing up. "Lake Lougi."

"Am I invisible or something. Or do my words reach deft ears?" Ray said.
