Rose POV

It got really boring watching Aang try to get Katara's attention by playing with those kids, so I decided to go see what Xiu Juan was doing. As this place was so small, it didn't take very long to find Xiu Juan.

"Hey, sis. What're you doing?" She looked up.

"Watching Sokka crash and burn; do you wanna watch?" I grinned.

"Of course I do! Ever since the 'Fancy Tricks' incident, I've been dying to hurt him. But, watching some super tough girls damage his pride is just as good.

We sat beneath a tree that was just outside of the training building and watched Sokka try to impress the warriors. Or was it me? Either way, as far as I saw, he failed. When Sokka saw me outside of the building and waved, I decided to get out of there before he tried flirting with me again.

I stood up and looked down at Xiu Juan. "Hey, I'm pretty sure there's a lake or whatever around here, so I'm gonna take a bath. See you later."

She smiled. "Okay, but don't get lost!"

"In THIS village? Please, it'd be easier to get lost in a barrel." I waved goodbye and went off to grab a towel so I could take a bath.

I sighed in a contented fashion. This island may not be big, but the lakes were so clear and clean. I was almost relaxed, even, when I heard screaming. I dashed out of the lake, dried myself off and slipped my clothes back on, and then I ran for the village.

I gasped at seeing four angry rhinos muscling their way into the small Village. And on those rhinos were eight men. Seven of them were soldiers, and one of them was Zuko. I looked away at seeing him. When you kiss someone to get them to let you go, you kinda hope that you don't have to see them again. I kept out of sight until Aang came out and started fighting with Zuko. Zuko was recklessly Fire Bending and burning the buildings. I tried bending all the water I could to counteract it, but it was a hopeless case. Instead, I decided to help the village by picking off the few soldiers that the Kyoshi Warriors hadn't taken out already.

I then searched for Xiu Juan, and found her boarding Appa. I sprinted after her, going as fast as I could and I jumped on top of him, breathing heavily. I looked down at Aang, who just got on his glider and landed on Appa as well. I turned to watch the Village burn down on itself. Yet another example of why people think that Fire is a deadly element. All because reckless wielders throw it around and don't even consider the consequences.

Katara patted Aang's shoulder. "It's all we can do, Aang. I know it feels wrong to run away, but we have to. Zuko will follow us out of here. They're gonna be okay, Aang."

Aang bowed his head, most likely regretting what we brought to the Village. And then he looked up, and jumped over the edge.

Katara screamed after him. "AANG! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Xiu Juan and I nodded knowingly. Then Xiu Juan turned to Katara.

"I believe he's going to put out the fire." Katara looked at us like we were insane.

"How can he do that?"

And then something huge broke the surface of the water. It was Aang riding the Unagi. He pulled on its tendrils, and it opened its mouth, spraying the water that was in the mouth. It sprayed directly on Kyoshi Island. I grinned.

Aang jumped back onto Appa. "I know, I know, that was stupid and dangerous."

Katara smiled. "Yes. It was." And then she hugged him. I looked at Sokka, who was gazing dreamily into space. I raised an eyebrow.

"What happened to you? One of those fans hit you on the head or something?"

He indignantly folded his arms. "No, it did not! Besides, I would've blocked it if it came near-" I interrupted.

"No you wouldn't have. But continue."

Sokka was slightly offended, but kept talking. "In fact, Suki kissed me."

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah. Sure she did." He folded his arms again like an angry child.

"She did! Look, it probably left a mark on my face paint, right ther-"

"You mean your make up? That you just washed off like two seconds ago?" I patted his shoulder. "If you're gonna try and make me jealous, then make sure you've got your material lined up, okay?" I then closed my eyes and reclined against the side of Appa's saddle. "So, Aang, where're we going again?"

"To the city of Omashu, to ride the mail slides!"

I sighed. "Oooof course we are. Because elephant koi weren't strange enough."
