It's cold. And wet.
It hurts.
My head is throbbing.
And my chest feels tight.
Why am I so stupid.
I'm scared.
I'm worried.

So you better come and save me quickly.

Mai was angry to put it simply. It was the umpteenth time Aang had told her 'Sorry Mai, but I'm busy. Maybe next time we can do something', and then Aang going off with that stinky group of fangirls which followed him like a swarm of bees.

"Mai? Hey we're you going?" Katara asked her as Mai started to head out.

" Out" she said firmly and didn't look back. She knew she probably shouldn't be doing this. She knew Aang did have to do his work and that he didn't mean to make her feel lonely. But that didn't stop the pain.

Mai stopped in her snowy tracks and covered her face with her hands.

"I'm so stupid" she said softly to herself. And continued to walk.

How long have I been walking for?

I can see the village anymore.

Which way do I go?

All she could see was a blank landscape of ice. So empty and lonely. Sometimes there would be cliffs and a few crevasses.

It was getting darker. She was getting tired.

Mai felt her feet slip and her hands burn from the ice when she started to slide down. She hit a rock and yelped in pain. She clutched her leg in her hands and felt the warm sticky feeling of blood. Mai looked up at her surroundings. She was far down, nobody walking around would see her. She called for help but stopped in futility.

And then she started to cry in helplessness. She felt so bad. So stupid.

It was getting darker.

She was cold and she couldn't move.

And only one name pounded in her brain.

"Aang" she said hoarsely.

Time passed and she could feel her leg going numb. Her gloves were soaked. It was dark and she was scared and hungry.

She felt angry again but this time at herself. It passed and then she only wished she would be rescued.

She closed her eyes and thought of Aang. His hugs. His smile. His ability to make her laugh as if it was the funniest thing in the world.

She wanted to see him.

And then she began to get a bit of hope. Aang would come and rescue her.

She fell asleep for a bit and when she woke up she heard the familiar rustle of Aang's glider. She opened her sleepy eyes and smiled when she saw the familiar figure.

"Stupid" she said, "What took you so long?"

Aang bent down and checked her leg.

"You're the stupid one" he told her, "Not me. I'm not in this mess"

He tore the fabric on her pants to get to the injury.

"I missed you" she said.

"You're an idiot" he said and he started to waterbend to heal her leg.

And then the tears came and flowed down her cold cheeks. Aang sighed and stopped his work to hold her in his arms.

"I'm sorry" she spluttered, "I'm sorry"

"It's alright" he told her and he held her tightly, "I was worried about you"

"I wasn't thinking" she told him, "I just went. I was upset"

"Shush. Just stop crying it's alright now" he said and he kissed her.

"Do you hate me now?"

"I just kissed you Mai"

"I was so lonely"

"I know. I'm sorry"

Mai clung onto him and as sad as she was she felt safe in his arms.

"Go to sleep Mai"

And she did.

When she woke up she was warm again, lying down on a mattress. A fire crackled nearby and the village was quiet in sleep. Aang was next to her with his head on her stomach having fallen asleep while watching over her.

"Stupid" she said softly, "You don't fall asleep on an injured woman"

And she closed her eyes again as she hear Aang mumble.

"No you're the stupid one..."

A/N: Just a bit of New Year fluff. I drew out an outfit for Mai. I'll post it next chapter.
