Katara ran through the palace, her throat was burning, and her legs were about to fall off. The palace was huge and it was like three miles to get from one end to the MIDDLE where the court yard was. She was out of breath and could barely breathe when She got there. Katara dived into the pool-like fountain without even thinking and felt better.

~At Mai's house~

"Azula! Stop!" She screamed covering her face. Azula was furious. She sent her rage out fast and furious through her fire bending, the normal blue fire was white. Mai's house was burning and Mai was just standing outside helplessly praying that Ty Lee would be okay.

"You are a traiter, just like Zuko!" She screamed.

"Azula no I'm not!" Ty Lee cried. She tried getting an angle on her to pressure point her, but she'd be burned to a crisp.

"First you harbor a traitor, and then you tell Katara what I did to her!" She screeched. She sent a fire ball at Ty Lee who had her back turned. Thankfully Ty Lee ducked. She had been through one of Azula's rampages before. At this point Ty Lee was crying because there was no way to stop her and if she didn't get out of the house, there was no way she was going to survive whether it be because of Azula or the smoke filling up her lungs. "Azula... please..." She choked.

"No, you will die! You are lucky I gave you and Mai another chance after the little incident at the boiling rock. YOU are going to die alone, and I'll be sure to keep taking oh so wonderful care of MY Sokka back at the palace." She sneered. This gave Ty Lee a boost of adrenaline. She stood up and faced Azula who was busy summoning all the energy that she could harbor.

"Stay. Away. From. SOKKA!" Ty Lee screamed. She hurled herself towards Azula... just as a fire ball was coming her way.

~In the courtyard~

Katara floated in the water for a good ten mintues before she got up and decided to execute the plan. She started with her dragons breath. She blew fire around the entire garden scorching everything.

That's for hurting Sokka.

She sent fireballs into all the trees.

That's for lying to me.

She hopped on top of the fountain and broke into a million shards with a huge fire ball.

That's for trying to hurt Zuko.

And this is for changing me.

Katara sent her dragons breath and fire balls flying at the palace.

"FIRE!" It yelled. He smirked good ol' Katara. He felt the water in the guards' bodies getting farther and farther away until he could no longer sense them. He summoned the water in the air and made a staircase to the window. He cut the bars with an ice sword and waited for Katara to meet him where he waited.

"I'm so sorry fire lord Ozai I was just practicing and I couldn't control it." Katara 'sobbed' to the firelord. He snorted - very informally for a firelord - and simply drew the flames into him. The garden was no longer scorched and the palace's flames went out.

"Nothing we can do about the statue, order a new one and clean this up." He said to the guards walking away, not even acknologing Katara. She widened her eyes in surprise and ran back to Sokka - who wasn't where they were supposed to meet.

"MAI WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?" Sokka screeched seeing the house in flames and Mai crying hysterically.

"Azula-sh-she... and Zuko and Ty Lee." Was all she got out before bursting into tears again. Sokka's eyes widened.

"NO!" He screamed. He went to the back of the house and drew all the water from the air that he could. He made a cloud form over the house and let the rain pour endlessly from it until the fire had completely gone out. He ran into the house. He found no sign of human life anywhere.

"Ty Lee? Zuko?" He yelled. No answer. Mai came running into the house.

"Where are they? OH MY GOD!" She yelped looking to floor. There lying in a crumpled mess was Ty Lee. She was burned beyond recognition. Sokka felt his whole body go numb as he began to shake. He didn't dare touch her. Mai fell to the floor beside her crying hysterically. Sokka stepped over Ty Lee in search of Zuko. He entered Zuko's room and found him lying... unconcious on the bed. He drew the little moisture in the air and covered Zuko in it, he healed him and Zuko woke up.

"Whoa what happened." Sokka couldn't speak. He just motioned for Zuko to follow him into the living room... or what was left of it. He pointed to Ty Lee.

"Holy crap." Zuko murmured. He sat by Mai and rubbed her back. Sokka walked out of the house and tried to control himself, suddenly Katara ran up.

"Sokka! What the hell? Where were you? And what happened to the house?" She asked. More questions came out of her but he couldn't contain himself any longer, he cried and hugged her so tightly she could barely breathe.

"Sokka? What happened." She pulled away looking into his eyes. And then she knew, she ran into the house and saw the most horrific sight she had ever seen in her entire life.

"This is all my fault." She screamed.

"What do you mean?" Sokka asked.

Mai recovered from hysteria and explained the plan. Katara was hysterical and surprisingly, Sokka put an arm around her shoulder.

"It's not your fault, I don't think any one of us could've seen this coming, not even Ty Lee." He choked out.

"We need to get out of here and burn the house down." Zuko said monotone.

"What?" They all yelled at the same time. He looked at them all.

"Come on, don't you think Azula will get suspicious when she comes back to check to make sure her 'handy work' was finished and the house is standing, soaking wet. There needs to be nothing left." Zuko told them. They silently agreed and stepped out of the house wishing Ty Lee good bye. Sokka stayed behind.

"Just one second okay?" He asked them. They nodded. He cried onto her so many tears that they fell on her charred face and slid off of her. He stared at her and whispered.

"I love you." He pulled himself together and walked out of the house. Zuko set it on fire and they left to find a new home. They decided on fleeing the city for a while. It wasn't safe for them anymore. Zuko and Sokka led the gang to where they kept Appa. They all piled onto him, Sokka gave them a cloud cover, as they flew towards the temple where Aang and Toph, hopefully still were.

Mai sat in silence, occasionally spewing out a story about Ty Lee to Katara who listened and gently gave her condolences. Zuko was lost in his own memories, and Sokka was barely maintaining his cool. Zuko sensed this and got up, and put a hand on Sokka's shoulder.

"Sokka I think we're out of harms way for a while, you can stop with the cloud." Sokka collapsed onto Appa and stared at the Sky. Zuko continued steering Appa, and Mai fell asleep. Katara crawled over to her brother and lied down beside him.

"You okay?" She asked. He stared at her. She rolled her eyes stupidly. "Standard question." She told him.

"I know." He said. A while passed and Sokka thought Katara had fallen asleep. He sat up and stared at the moon.

"Yue, what do I do? First I lost you... and now Ty Lee? Is love doomed for me?" He asked. Katara wasn't asleep and sat up.

"Sokka you are going to find someone." He heard a voice and turned around. Katara was sitting up.

"Katara... It seems like every girl I love something bad happens to." He told her.

"Look I don't know who Yue is... but what happened to Ty Lee wasn't your fault, it was mine and if you insist that it wasn't then blame it on Azula." She told him. He just shook his head.

"I don't blame it on Azula." he told her. She stared at him quizzically.

"Then who?" She asked.

"Suki."

"Sokka I just remembered something..." Katara told him.

"What?" He asked.

"How are we going to change me back if Mai won't get lessons from the fire lord on how to do just that?"
