Alright i guess i wasn't clear on the ships. This is a Zutara, Taang, adn Sukka. As of now the only steady ship is Sukka and the others develope ocver time.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed and here's the chapter.


Aang sat on Appa's head thinking. Truthfully he wanted to scream, even more the wanted to go into the avatar state. Things were so confusing. Why couldn't he just be upset they lost, or angry Ozai won, or happy Katara saved him, or sad Katara didn't save Zuko. See- confusing.

Suddenly Aang remembered the one thing that was still uncertain. He turned around quickly. "Guys. The order. Ba Sing Se" Aang spoke excitedly.

Katara looked down. "Even if they did win, the fire nations sole mission would be to conquer them again. It's not safe"

Aang sighed and nodded, taking the reins again. Appa grunted painfully, to Aang surprise. The air bender looked down and realized one of Appa's legs was slashed, quite deeply too.

"Guys, Appa's hurt. We need to land somewhere" Aang said nervously, due to the fact that the only thing around them was water.

Sokka studied the map apprehensively. "There should be an earth kingdom island coming up soon in this direction. We can stop there for a while." he decided.

Aang nodded and quietly whispered to his bison. He heard Katara and Suki talking about something for a few minutes, then it became silent again.

Katara was truly worried now. What if they didn't make it to the island? She hated being so unsure. The group depended on her to give them hope, and here she was not even able to reassure herself.

She was suddenly pulled back to reality by Zuko mumbling something and groaning. She pulled out her water and gently pressed on his forehead.

They continued to fly in silence for almost an hour; no site of Sokka's island.

"Sokka, let me see the map" Suki ordered sweetly.

"I know where we're going!" he exclaimed.

"Any reason we're flying in the wrong direction" Suki asked sarcastically pointing to the island of the map and drawing a line with her finger to where they are.

"Ohhhhhhh" Sokka slapped his forehead.

Suki leaned on the edge of the saddle and looked off. "It's over there" she said pointing to a dot to the left of them.

Aang squinted to see it, but nodded and turned Appa towards the island. As they got closer the realized it was an abandoned beach. Perfect.

Aang landed on the shore and jumped off, helped by air bending. Toph jumped off just as eagerly, dropping into the sand below. Suki helped Sokka to slide off Appa and Katara followed.

"We'll leave Zuko. It's probably safer and more comfortable anyways" Sokka said. None of them could think of a alignment argument so they went along with it. Toph took the lead, with Sokka limping behind her. Katara had healed him, but it was still a bit a pain to walk on. Suki and Katara walked side by side. Katara couldn't help but notice her strange behavior at the moment. Katara pulled her aside.

"Are you alright?" she asked, genuinely concerned.

"I don't know" Suki admitted. "I mean, yes, no. But just promise not to tell anyone" her voice was confused and pleading.

"Tell them what?" Katara asked, now confused and worried.

"I might be pregnant Katara. I might be pregnant with Sokka's baby" she said almost at the brink of tears.

"You and Sokka did" she stopped herself. "Are you sure?"

"No. But I feel different. It might be nothing, but there is a chance" Suki looked down.

"I'm sure everyone's a little upset and uncomfortable right now. In a few weeks I might be able to check with my healing powers but until then lets just try to forget about it." Katara put a hand on the older girl's shoulder. "And Suki....for all it's worth, I think you'd make a great mother"

Suki smiled lightly and hugged Katara. Boy, did both girls hope it was false. Not that there was anything wrong, but with everything going on, a pregnant Suki was not something to add to the mix. Plus Sokka stressing. Oh, NOT Sokka stressing.

"Thanks" Suki mouthed as they ran to join the others.

Zuko opened his eyes weakly. Agni, everything hurt. Zuko, now fully awake, looked around. It took a moment to realize what was happening. He shot up, but easesd back down painfully after noting to himself how excruciating moving was.

Zuko slowly eased himself into a sitting position, biting on his lower lip to hold back the pain. He looked down, now aware he was sitting on Appa. Here was Katara? And Azula? And he?

Lightning. Suddenly the painful memory of almost loosing Katara flashed before his mind and he remembered what happened, and why everything hurt.

Zuko slid off Appa painfully and stayed there for a second, realizing how much energy that took. Then he noticed it was night. Zuko had to wonder how long he was unconscious for.

The teen took a wincing breath and began to walk towards the tracks the others made. He stopped almost immediately though, a wave of pain and dizziness flooding is senses. Zuko blinked a few times to steady his vision and kept going. Where he was going and who he was looking for was a whole new question.


Yes Zuko's alive! And a bit of an idiot at the moment. Oh well, i hope i kept him in character in the ending.

If you do review please tell me how acurate im portraying them. That's my biggest pet peeve so i want to make sure i'm not doing it.

If anyone has any request for things to happen please feel free to voice them as well. I left the Suki issue pretty opened for a while. (What did nobody else get that part of The southern Raiders. i mean she COULD have gotten pregnant)

Please Read and Reply

Also the next chapter is goign to start with, and probably go about half way with just Zuko. I wanted to put more but where i left it just felt like an ending.
