A/N: Hey everybody! Kudos to anybody who makes perfect sense of the following scene! Tell me if you do, and I'll be happy, because I'm majorly worried people won't understand. Also, if you need a translation, that's Ok, too. Also, kudos to the one who figures who the secret person is before it gets to the part where it is obvious. And without further ado, Chapitre Cinq!
Zuko spun on his heel, his eyes raking the trees behind him. The rustling came again. "Who's there?" ,
Now he was getting irritated, not to mention a little bit frightened. "Show yourself!"
"…dowwwww…nnnnnt…nnnnn…awwwwt…saaaayy…fuhhh…"
"What?"
"…heeeeeeruh…tuh…oooooo…giiiiiiii…vuh…warrrrr…nuh…inn…guh…"
"Warning? What warning?"
"yowuh…ruh…effff…orrrrrr…tuh…sss…rrrrr…nawww…tuh…fruuuu…tuh…lisss…"
"Well, duh, I know she's there!"
"…dooo…naww…tuh…beeee…dissss…coruh…igh…duuh…"
"I won't be, but who are you?"
"…sawww…kuh…tellllluh…moo…nuh…hee…wihh…luh…unn…deruh…stuh…nnn…duh…"
"Ok?"
"…say…vuh…hih…ruh…fow…ruh…mee…yuh.."
"Zuko!" an urgent voice yelled.
"I have to go."
"…buh…eeyah…say…fuh…"
"ZUKO!"
"Coming!" Zuko raced back to camp.
"S'about time, Hothead."
"Couldn't you have just done earthbending feet-look-for-Zuko thing?" he fumed.
"Oh, I never thought of that."
"UGH!"
"Nephew, you are obviously very worked up. What happened?" Zuko ignored him.
"Sokka, do you know somebody named moon?"
"No, but I do know the moon goddess!"
"That works."
"Why?"
"I'll tell you later. I'm going to bed, it's getting dark."
"But Hothead, aren't the stars beautiful?"
"Yes, Toph, but… Toph!"
The next morning, Zuko walked out of his tent to find Aang packing up Appa. "We want to head out as early as possible, right, Zuko?"
"Yes."
"Can you wake everybody up for me?"
"OK."
"Thanks, Zuko."
"Mm-hm."
"Oh, and good luck!"
Zuko didn't hear him. He started with Ty Lee, knowing that she would wake up Sokka for him, and that was two birds with one stone-literally. All it took to wake up Ty Lee was throwing a stone at her.
"ZU-KO!"
"Yeah?"
"Did you throw a stone at me?"
"Yep."
"You could have hurt me!"
"Yep."
"I'm going to go wake up Sokka and see how he feels about this!"
"Mm-hm." But inside, he thought- easy! He proceeded to Iroh's tent, but he knew that the old man would be awake. "Uncle?"
"Yes, nephew?"
"Get dressed. Come out. Go talk to Aang." Zuko said bluntly.
"Aren't we in a bad mood!" Iroh said huffily. Zuko had already left to go wake up Toph. Behind him, Aang smiled. He was waiting for this.
A/N: Took me a little while to do this one. I was busy. School is back on. Woo-hoo! Yeah, right. Anywho, I'm missing school all the rest of the week and Monday. I'm headed to Florida! Yay! Extra vacation! Minor drawback- it's for a funeral. Ugh. But I won't have much time to update; I'll do the best I can. R&R, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzz!!!!!!!!!!!
