Hey all! Sorry about late updates... I made a new story. THANK YOU PLOT BUNNIES! Also, I left Suki out of my most recent chapters for a reason. It wasn't an accident or anything... Whatever. accident or not, I came up with a reason she's not there that could make my story better! ^-^! I don't own Avatar. Unfortunately ;(.
Zuko
I crawl through the enclosed air ducts with one thing on my mind- Aang. I had just joined the team, but all of us were close as family. Except for Zai... I clear my head. No distractions right now. Not even your girlfriend. I find an exit and get out of the ducts and onto the ceiling of the hallway near the room where Aang was kept. Ironic, how I did the exact same thing months ago. I spot a small book in the middle of the hall. It says on the cover: Property of Zai Lin Xiao. So Zai was here. I think. I hear guards so I swiftly swoop down, grab the book, and get back on the ceiling before I'm spotted. I put the book in my pocket and climb by way of ceiling pipes over to a hallway out of sight of the door leading to the room where my friend was kept.
Zai
After a long amount of time spent running, hiding, crawling, or climbing I do a mental checklist. Bow, check. Arrows, check. Fire- I force a small flame out of my fingertips -Check. Sketchbook, che- I pat my front pocket. Then my back pocket. then everywhere my sketchbook could be hidden. I take it everywhere, bu now it's nowhere to be seen. I pray to Tui and La that nobody's found it yet, and continue searching for Aang, checking all the rooms he could possibly be in.
Sokka
"Do you remember where her house is?" I ask my sister, and check the maps.
"I thought you knew! Oh Agni you're such a pain." She replies angrily. A small piece of paper falls out of my bag. Katara picks it up.
"Here ." She thrusts it at me. "It's from your girlfriend." The note read:
Sokka- I've gone out fishing and gathering for the house, be back in about a day. Love Suki.
A shocking realization hits me.
"I forgot about my own GIRLFRIEND!"
Aw... Poor Sokka. Coming up next in ZS: Fluff and non-fluff, Suki POV, and maybe a flashback.
