A/N: Thanks for the review, whiteoak-alina united. I appreciate it. Seriously, though, I always review the stories I read, and I have 115 vistors and one review. Anyway, I'm still looking for that new title, I heartily dislike mine. Thanks! Oh, and I'm really pleased with this story, it's much easier to write than my old one. Huzzah! (I happen to be watching Curse of the Black Pearl).

Toph grinned. "Desperate much, Zuko?"

Aang just gaped. "But… but…"

"No buts, Aang, and that's final." Zuko looked determined. He left the couple staring after him as he hurried to send the message.

"Zuko!" A whirl of pink came cartwheeling towards him. "Iroh is just getting ready, Sokka is grabbing something to eat, and I have nothing to do!"

"Go get me a messenger hawk, then, if you need something to do so badly." Zuko said exasperated, and Ty Lee grinned and flipped away. Ty Lee wouldn't leave him alone, seeing as Mai was dead and Azula had gone psycho. He hurried back to his room and picked up a pen and paper. He quickly scribbled his planned note.

Dear Captor,

I hope Katara is well. Send her my love, if you're capable of doing such a thing. My trade for Katara is the Lordship. When I get Katara, you get to be Fire Lord. Or Fire Lady, whatever you are. And it doesn't matter if you're Fire Nation or not.

Fire Lord Zuko

Somebody knocked. "I got your stupid messenger hawk! Now what do I do?" Ty Lee wrenched open the door. The messenger hawk flew to Zuko and turned his back on him, revealing the tube the message was to be placed in. Zuko inserted the note.

"How about you go annoy Sokka? He'll be much more attentive than me."

"Can I visit Azula, pleeeeeeease!" Ty Lee begged. Zuko hadn't let her see Azula because, well, Azula deserved to be left alone with nobody to boss around.

"No!" Zuko ordered. "Ty Lee, you will see her when she has calmed down, meaning probably never." Ty Lee pouted.

"No fair, you get to spend time with your friends, don't you? Well, they're my friends now, too, I suppose. And Zuko, you're not expecting me to go with you, right? I have to go back to Kyoshi Island to continue my training."

"Don't worry, we'll drop you off."

"And Sokka?"

"No, Sokka is staying with us."

"Oh, man! You take my best friend, and you take my boyfriend, no fair!!!!"

"Isn't Sokka mourning over Suki so he won't date you?" Zuko knew that Ty Lee only liked it if they were referred to as a couple, and Zuko saw them as one, but he wasn't sure if Sokka was up for a new relationship yet.

"Details, details, details."

"Ty Lee, he's lost two girlfriends to this war, it's not fair to force yourself on him." Ty Lee just stuck out her tongue.

"I'm going to spend the rest of my time with Sokka!"

"You do that!" Zuko slipped his message inside of the messenger hawk's carrier and sent him off. Then he collapsed on his bed, and soon was asleep. Only when Aang peeked in did he move from his position, rolling over and mumbling "Katara…"

A/N: And another short chapter! Sorry about that, I'm a little too excited to keep typing. I just bought my own iPod Touch and have been reading on it since I woke up, but I can only type on the computer. Oh well, I update pretty fast, if you ask me. I just wrote this in one sitting because my little brother wouldn't leave me alone until he got a turn on my iPod. R&R, por favor! Preferably with a name suggestion! Lol. Bya!
