^o^

Ray had no where to go, so she decided to go back to the Jasmine Dragon. She saw Katara run away in a worried manner. "Oh no, that can't be good."

The sun had started to go down and the tea shop was closing. She walked back to the ally. Iroh's employee left when everything was clean. He first handed Iroh a message and then left.

"Zuko go upstairs, I will finish down here." She heard Iroh say. Ray then heard the stairs creek.

Iroh walked to the window Ray was at and opened it. "What are you doing here? I thought you left."

"I did leave...you guys." she said shamefully. "I was going to leave but something kept me here. I've been staying with my new friends. Yesterday, he went to my half brother and ended up getting me caught. Last night I wound up here and fell asleep in the ally. I was scared that something was going to happen, so I ran. I panicked." Ray spilled

Iroh gave her a smile. "Your always welcome here, Little fish."

"Thanks, but I think I'm going to stay out here. It's nice out."

"Oh, I got invited to serve tea at the palace tomorrow." Iroh chirped

"I don't think that that's a good idea. My brother isn't what he seems." she said looking down.

"Ok, if you say so. I'll keep my eyes open."

"Ok. Just wanted to warn you." and with that she waved and started backing up. "Bye Iroh."

"Bye duckling."

She smiled at the nick name.

After walking for some time, Ray decided to look up at the clouds. She found a nice field to lay down on. It had a single tree and what looked to be a monument. She laid on the other side of the tree. She saw a white thing fly by and her eyes grew big. "Appa!" she yelled

"Was that Ray?" Toph asked

"I didn't hear anything." Aang said

"Ya, same here." Sokka said

Toph rolled her eyes.

Ray bolted after them. 'Where could they be going? I though they left the city.' she thought.

'The palace! That's where they are headed. Iroh and Zuko are there too.' She thought. Ray knew a shortcut to the palace and quickly turned her direction to the left. She found a secret path when she was younger and found it again.

She made it there in no time. At the palace she crept around. Ray watched iroh run away from a hole that was in the wall while shaking his head no. 'I wonder what that's all about?' she thought.

Ray found a ton of Di Lee carrying someone. She followed them for a while unil she saw that it was Zuko. "What did you do now, Zuko?" she whispered to herself

Ray followed them until she relised that the only place he couldn't free himself from was the crystal catacombs.

"Your screwed." She said as a hole was created.

"You've got company." She heard an agent say. He then threw him in the hole that they quickly sealed up.

The agents quickly left and Ray stood there. She started pacing where Zuko was tossed in. "Okay, I won't be able to get in there. How am I supposed to save him and his 'company?'"

Ray had been pacing for some time when she heard a big bang underground. It made her jump. When she landed, Ray heard footsteps. She quickly ran and hid behind a boulder and watched as the one and only Fire Nation Princess walked up with two agents.
