Chapter 3
The Desertion
The fierce entanglement between Jet and Lee was soon broken up by The Dai Li, Elite Guards of Ba Sing Se. Jet was immediately ecstatic. "Great! I'm glad you're here. Arrest these men! They're Fire-Benders!" Said Jet pointing an accusing finger at them. "This young man is confused." said Mushi. "It's true sir this man attacked the finest tea-maker in the city." Said one witness "Oh ho! That's very sweet." Said Mushi blushing. "This man attacked my employees and ruined my shop!" Said the tea shop owner angrily. "Come with us son" Ordered one of the Dai Li Guards. Jet swung one of his hook swords at the man who caught it with a gloved hand. The guards twisted Jet's hands behind his back. "They're Fire-Benders I tell you!"Jet protested. "Arrest them! They're Fire-Benders!" Jet continued to scream as they dragged him off into the night.
Smellerbee and Longshot looked at Jet one last time with looks of deep sadness etched on their faces. As soon as he was gone they stalked off. Later that evening Smellerbee was questioning what they had done. "I think we should have tried to rescue him, don't you Lognshot?" Longshot didn't answer but just stared into Smellerbee's eyes "Yeah I agree, were supposed to be his friends and we betrayed him" sighed Smellerbee sadly. "None of this would have happened if he would have just listened to us!" said Smellerbee in a rage. Longshot gave her another look. "Yeah your probably right. Jet will be okay and we'll back together as if nothing had ever happened." Smellerbee tried to squash her disbelief but she was unsuccessful. "I hope he's okay."
AUTHOR'S NOTE
Well I wrote my first Smellerbee and Longshot Fic. Sorry there wasn't any romance in this story. There was a little implied crush though to anybody who was paying attention. As I promised in my previous Avatar Fic I am dedicating this story to Jesus Lives. I hope you all enjoy. To anyone who may be disappointed that I didn't come up with my own original story I aplogize. I may write an original but I'm not sure yet. I did put in some of my own subtle plot devices, so I put some effort into it. Well bye for now.
