Much thanks to

Tang Si Ming-Yue for reminding me that I do have more than one story going!

I just got to into The Last Indie...

My apologies...

"Ok so we've check the Palace..."

"Yes."

"And the upper ring?"

"Yes."

"So that only leaves..."

Aang gestures out of the window. Lower Ba Sing Se was about twice as large as the Upper Ring; it had taken them 2 week to search Upper Ba Sing Se, "About another 4 weeks."

Toph groans in the background, her original excitement for finding Katara was disappearing fast.

Aang played with Katara's necklace running his fingers over the pattern over and over again, almost as if it was a drug.

"Ok, let's end a bit early today, we should go out."

"Sokka, your sister is missing."

"I know, but we can't keep pushing ourselves like this. If we loosen up a bit I'm almost positive an idea will come to us."

"Our main goal should and is Katara." Toph places a hand on Aang's shoulder, "but we do need a bit of break, I promise Aang we'll start again tomorrow."

He sighs before succumbing to Sokka's excitement and Toph's promise.

Zuko's Point of View
"So Jin..."

"Ya Lee?"

I flinch at the persona, I'm planning on ending it today. It's been a month since I've seen Mai and now I'm worried, she hasn't exacted revenge or done anything for that matter.

"My name is not Lee."

"What?"

"It's Zuko Sozin."

She gasped, "I saw you, you're Zuko Sozin? The millionaire?"

"Umm yes..." Iroh story had been broadcast all over the new, radio, television and talk shows, I'm actually quite surprised she didn't recognize me before, I mean large scars covering left eyes can't be that common...

"So we're millionaires?"

I burst her bubble the saying 'Put her down gently' probably would've been good in this situation, "No, I'm married."

Before she can say anything she slaps me.

She mumbles something her eyes tearing up and she leaves me in the restaurant.

"Um, she didn't like the cheese."

Everyone seems to take this as an excuse and goes back to eating.

I haven't seen Mai for a month.

Jin left me...

Maybe I'll go steal Katara from Aang...

"Hey Zuko!"

"Hey, where's Katara?"

Aang's eyes begin to water and Toph and Sokka come from behind.

"Zuko! What are you doing here?"

Not even a hello, "I opened up a shop here with Mai and was just coming to see Aang and Katara."

Sokka's eyes water as well.

"She's missing Zuko." Toph comes to hug me and I'm confused beyond measure, "And we are sorry about Mai."

"What?"

Toph stands back giving me her signature look, "The posters...Sokka told me about them, she's missing...right?"

"WHAT?!" Before I can continue to rant Sokka intervenes.

"I think we all need this night off.

Now I can count my accomplishments in life.

1. My Fiancée is missing

2. My two best friends are wussies.

3. My only friend that can manage a thought without crying is a blind tough tomboy.

Wow this wants me to continue on...

The next chapter is the dance scene which I will be posting within the next two days.

I promise I will update at least twice before "The Painted Lady" Avatard's honor!
