Thanks for the review:D

Chapter 2

Sharon brushed more dirt from underneath those lines.

'That's not all he said. Look: 'The Halfling has hidden powers the Dark Prince is not aware of. May the spirits help her...'

'What does that mean? Halfling? First an Air Princess and then suddenly an Halfling. Unless the Air Princess IS the Halfling.' Mira said.

'Pfff yeah. And then? You still don't know what an Halfling is.'

'Yeah...'

'Hey Misty. Where are you? She is gone? We must tell her this.'

They went after Misty and found her sitting on a rock, watching the fish in the water. They told her about the Halfling and weren't surprised to see her reaction to this.

'Don't be stupid. Yes, there is a Halfling and there is a Dark Prince, but I don't know so much about the Air Princess. I don't think there is one. What powers should she have then?'

'So you know. Who is this Halfling then? He isn't talking about the Avatar.'

'He's definitely not talking about the Avatar, seeing as his mother and father were Airbenders. No, he is talking about a girl and I think...'

'Yes?'

'I don't know.'

'Come on, Misty, you know. You just don't want to tell us.'

'I don't want to put lives at steak.'

'Well, thank you. We're your friends, you can tell us.'

'When the time is ready.'

'OK. Fine.'

Sharon turned her back on her and walked out of the forest. Mira shrugged at Lee and followed her. Lee stood behind with Misty.

'You know, you insulted her.'

'Really?'

'Yeah, a friend knows things about you which others does not. Not telling her and us what that inscription really means is like you don't trust us at all. Meaning we're not friends.'

'Friends or family, it is not the time for this secret to be revealed. Not to anyone. At least, not yet. I can tell you this: the Dark Prince isn't dead or anything, he's alive and lives in the Fire Nation. Ready to kill the Halfling when she shows up or her whereabouts, because he dóesn't believe she's dead.'

'And what is the link to the Air Princess?'

'I don't know...That doesn't make sense. She can't be the Air Princess, it's probably someone else.'

'So you know who the Halfling is?'

'Yes.'

'...'

'I can't say more. I'm sorry.'

'It's OK.'

Zuko went to prison to see his father.

'Father, where is Mother?'

'I don't know.'

'Yes, you do. I want to know where she is.'

'Why do you want to find her anyway?'

'She gave me something you never gave me.'

'Ooooooh yeah, she loved you. I forgot that.' Sneered Ozai.

'Yes. She did.'

'I'm sorry, but I really don't know. She might be alive, but where or how...'

'Enough.'

'When are you going to get married, Zuko? You're 18 years old now and as a Fire Lord you must marry soon, or else the council will pick someone for you.'

'That's my business, Father.'

And with that he turned his back on Ozai and walked away.

A big surprise was waiting for him at the palace.

'Uncle!!'

'Zuko!'

Iroh embraced Zuko and then followed him to a chamber. Zuko has missed his uncle and was glad he was here. He needs his advise more than ever.

'What's wrong, Zuko?'

'Uncle, everyone talks about marriage, but I don't think I'm ready. Well, I must find a suitable girl first, but yet I'm not ready.'

'How about Mai? You dumped her again?'

'No, she dumped me this time. For another boy, named Lee. I don't think he even knows that she exists. But that's not the point. I'm glad she's gone.'

'Why? You have another girl on your mind?'

'Not really, no.'

'Are you sure?'

'Yes. Why?'

'I was under the impression that you liked that little girl with that beautiful light brown hair and sea green eyes. You know, when we were banished from the Fire Nation and were looking for a safe stay.'

'What? I didn't like her. We didn't even talk. She bumped into you and you invited her for tea and I saw her when she was finished with her tea and was saying goodbye to you, remember?'

'Yes, and what happened when your eyes met?'

'Nothing really special.'

'You kept staring at her and she looked quickly at you and walked away. Before she turned around a corner she turned around. I have eyes, zuko.'

'Yes, but who cares? She is too young for me and even if I want her, I should find her first.'

'She was not too young for you. She was thirteen years old then. You saw her 3 years ago. She's now sixteen.'

'And who says she isn't engaged or married already?'

'She's not engaged, nor married.'

'How do you know?'

'I saw her and it fits with a legend. An old man foretold it. He described her very well, before she was even born! She has a mission to fulfill or she'll never rest. She doesn't know I know this and I'm not stupid to bring her in any danger. Anyways, she said she would marry when the time comes.'

'Wait a minute, tell me more about that legend.'

'I can't, Zuko. My own life depends on it. Promise me you'll never tell this. Never tell this story or people think you know stuff.'

'All right, I promise. But I want you to know something. I want a girl I love, not a girl who looks pretty, had every boy she could get. She must be special and a good heart.'

'With other words: mind your own business.' laughed Iroh. 'It's OK, Zuko. You're right.'

Aang was looking at Katara.

Should I ask her to marry me? What if she says no and I lose her? Besides, it's going well now, isn't it? But every now and then boys are looking at her and talking to her. Maybe I SHOULD ask her to marry me. We can be engaged then for a year or so... Naaaaah. Not yet.

'Guys, I think I want to visit Zuko. I've missed him. We haven't seen him for 6 months!'

'Good idea, Toph. I want to go too. How about you, Sokka..Aang?

'Great idea. How about you 2, Momo and Appa?'

'Skrie!'

'Mwaaah'

'OK, let's go then.'

Misty turned around. Her friends were asleep.

Goodbye. I'm doomed to stay alone. No need to bring y'all in danger.

She walked away.

Next morning Mira woke up early. She found a letter and woke the others. All looking worried:

No need to bring you all in danger.

I'll find my own way, and you all yours.

Don't go looking for me or ask about me.

Love,

Misty

They all looked at each other. Sharon wanted to say something, but they all heard a loud noise and looked up.

Author notes:

Strange girl, huh?
