Zuko was still getting some things ready for tomorrow as Rei, Rin and Jin was also getting some last minute items as well. Ty Lee was getting worried about Zuko because they are not spending time together as much now. Mai was still helping Samanosuke to recover his memories. Azula is spending time with Snake as they shop around Market Street in the Fire Nation. As everyone doing their things, an unknown girl wearing western type clothing just arrived to the harbor of the Fire Nation.
"Why are shopping in a time like this!?" said Snake as he watched Azula picking out some clothes.
"Because I feel like shopping." said Azula as she grabbed some clothes and headed towards the dressing room.
"So why I'm here then!? I have some things to do before the eclipse tomorrow." Snake sighed a bit as he lean against a wall.
"I want someone to spend time with as I shop." she said as she enter the dressing room. "Beside, you're my bodyguard, so you need to protect me." Azula started to try on the clothing.
"This is a waste of my time." said Snake.
"Why you say that?" said Azula as she walked out and showed off the dress she was wearing.
"Because I hate wasting my time for no reason." Snake looked at Azula and said, "It seem a little tight on you."
She glared at him for a moment and soon ignored his comment. "I think its nice." she said as she looked at herself through the mirror.
"Just hurry up, okay." Snake headed towards the door.
"Fine!" Azula sounded irritated as she entered the dressing room.
As Snake waited outside the shop, the unknown girl walked passed by him and lean against the wall of the shop. Snake turned his head to look at the girl. He sigh a bit as he quickly knew who she is.
Snake walked up to the unknown girl and said, "What are you doing here?
The unknown girl looked at him and said, "Orders by the Master. I was told to come and help out as much as I can."
"I see." said Snake as he stood in front of her.
"So any info about where the Fire Lord is going to be tomorrow." she said as started to glare at him.
Snake noticed the glare coming from the girl. "Dragonfly, don't tell me your still mad at me?"
"Because you stole my bow-rifle!" said Dragonfly as she continued to glare at him.
"And you stole my bow-gun!" said Snake as he glare back at her.
Dragonfly sighed a bit and goes back to the subject. "Any info about the Fire Lord?"
"Sorry no info about where he is hiding tomorrow, but I do know there are tunnels under the Fire Nation that lead to different areas." he said.
"But I thought you're going to get info about Fire Lord where about." said Dragonfly.
"I'm trying, but Azula keep making me busy doing pointless things." he said.
Azula walked out of the shop as she carries some bags of clothing she got from the shop. She looked ahead and noticed that Snake was talking to a girl. Azula glared at them as she walked up to Snake and the girl.
Dragonfly noticed that Azula was coming and quickly alerts Snake. "The Princess is coming."
Snake nodded a bit and said, "We talk it later with Angel and Raven, okay?"
Dragonfly nodded and said, "Oh I'm going to your room at night, later" She walked away
Snake turned around and faced Azula. "What took you so long?" he said.
Azula glared at him and said, "Who was that girl!?"
"What girl?" he said.
"That girl you were talking to just now." She said as she placed her hands on her hips.
"I don't know what you're talking about" Snake started to walk away from her.
"Don't lie to me!" she yelled at him. "And don't walk away from me!" Azula stared to follow him.
Snake turned his head to look at her. "Leave me alone."
"Why!?" she said as she glared him.
"Because I said so!" He stopped walking then faced her.
"Just tell who that girl you were talking too was!" Azula ordered him.
"Why you want to know!?" he yelled at Azula as he moved closer to her. "Ever since I went on that date, you wouldn't leave me only! Why!?"
Azula blushed a bit when Snake moved closer to her. "Because umm…" Azula was shocked that someone stood up against her.
Snake's face was an inch away from Azula's face, causing her to blush even more. Snake noticed that she was blushing and decided to have a bit of fun with this. He moved closer towards her, making her take a few step back. Soon Azula felt the wall against her back as Snake placed his hand on the wall next to her head. He moved his face a bit closer towards her face, just enough that their lips almost touch. Azula heart was racing as she looked at him. She was sweating a bit as she blush. Snake looked into her eyes and soon noticed that she was nervous about his action.
"What wrong, Azula?" said Snake with a lustful tone as he looked deep into her eyes.
Azula looked back and said, "No-nothing, why you asked?"
"Because you're blushing, Azula." Snake moved little closer. He could feel the warm air coming in and out from her lips as he continues stare into her eyes.
"I'm not blushing." she said as she felt nervous about the situation. Azula felt like passing out as the seconds passed by. Her heart was still racing. Her body wanted to move away from him, but something is holding her down.
"Yes you are." said Snake.
"So what if I am!?" said Azula as she admit so was blushing.
Snake grinned a bit and said, "It's cute when you blush."
Azula blushed deep red. "Why are you doing this!?"
"Because I want to." he said. "Don't you like?"
"I don't kn…" Azula was interrupted when Snake gently blew into her ear. She could the gently warm breeze on her ear as she begun to moan a bit. After the short warm pleasure against her ear, slide down against the wall as she catch he breath.
Snake looked down at her and sighed a bit. "I guess I over done it."
"What was that for!?" she said as she looked at him.
"For fun. Now get up." He ordered the young princess to get back up her feet.
Azula got up and glared at him as she still blush a bit. "What you mean!?"
"I did it for fun." he said as he began to walk.
"That was not very nice of you." she said as she followed him.
"Looks who's talking?" said Snake.
"What do you mean by that!?" she said.
"You do the same thing to Mai and Ty Lee, remember?" said next as he turned and began to walk backward to look at her.
"Oh, that." she said as she looked back at him.

"Zuko, please tell me what wrong?" said Ty Lee as she stood behind him.
Zuko was busy working on the Mardy-Daytona as he said, "Noting is wrong."
"But Zuko we don't talk as much and spend time together anymore." she said.
"Is because I was busy helping with the upcoming eclipse tomorrow." said Zuko as he grabbed a ratchet and us it on the motorcycle.
"I know, but whenever you see me, you try to avoid me." She said as she worries about her friendship with Zuko. "Please tell me what's wrong?"
Zuko already felt bad about trying to avoid her and he felt even worst for lying to her. "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Is it because what you're planning on doing tomorrow!?" said Ty Lee as he looked at him.
Zuko quickly turned and faced her. "How do you know!?" He was in shocked knowing that Ty Lee knew about his plan.
"Zuko, why I can go with you!?" she said.
Zuko looked at her and said, "Because I don't want you to."
"Please tell me, Zuko." Ty Lee looked at him as she worried about their relationship.
Zuko sigh a bit as he could not lie to her anymore. "I just don't want you to get hurt when something bad happened to me." he said as he looked away.
"Zuko…" She walked up to the young prince and held him around his torso. "I didn't know you care so much about me."
Zuko blushed as he looked at her. "I don't, I just don't want out to get hurt, okay!?" he said as he lied to her.
Ty looked at him and knew he was lying. "Zuzu, you're such a bad liar." she said as she smile.
Zuko blushed even more when Ty Lee called him by his nick name. "Don't call me that!?"
Ty Lee smiled a bit, but then she placed her head against his chest. "Zuko, do you really don't want me to go?" she said as she bury her face against his chest to hide her tears.
Zuko held her tightly and said, "I'm sorry, but I don't want to you to get hurt when something bad happened." He really wanted her to go, but for her safety Zuko need to go without her.

Night came in quick; almost everybody was getting a good night rest in the palace, except for Snake. He was busy working on his bow-rifle for tomorrow. Thanks to Dragonfly help by giving him a hand on his bow-rifle to make the weapon better. As the two worked on Snake's weapon, Azula was walking towards his room.
Azula could not sleep tonight, so she decided to see what Snake was doing. When she arrived at Snake's door, Azula could hear voices from the other side of Snake's door. She could hear two voices, Snake's voice and a female's voice. Azula wanted to barge and to see whose Snake talking to, but something was holding here down. She does not know what was holding her down. She just stood there, listening to them talk. Suddenly the talking stopped, Azula started wonder why the talking went silent. She was about to open the door until Snake opened door.
"Azula, what are doing here?" said Snake as he got Azula off guard.
"Umm… I couldn't sleep, so I came to see if you want to talk about things." said Azula as she try to find the girl, but Snake was blocking her view. "What are you doing out of your room?"
"I'm getting a light-snack. If you want, you can come in and wait for me to come back?" said Snake as he passed by her and head towards the kitchen.
Azula nodded and walked in Snake's room. She looked around, she trying to find any evidences to see if a girl was really in his room. "Come on, there got to be something here to prove there was a girl here!?" said Azula as she search around his room. She went through his bed, closet, and even his desk. Azula even sniff the air to get a scent of a perfume to know there was a girl in Snake's room. "Damn it, not even a scent!" said Azula as she sat on Snake's bed. She was a little disappointed by not finding anything proof there was a girl in Snake's room. "Maybe, all of it was in my head." said Azula as she lay on his bed.
"What's in your head?" said Snake as he walked back to his room. "You seem disappointed, want to talk about it?" He sat next to her and started to eat an apple.
Azula looked at him for a bit then she turned on her side to look away. "It's nothing…" said Azula as she felt uncomfortable knowing if there was a girl in Snake's room.
Snake glanced at her and said, "Are you still bother on what I did to you earlier today?"
Azula blushed a bit as she forgot about Snake's action. "N-no." said Azula as she started to remember what he did to her a couple of hours ago.
"Then what's wrong?" he said as he took a bite from his apple.
Azula sat up and looked at him and said, "Snake, can I ask you question?"
He looked back at her and nodded a bit. "Sure, what is your question?"
Azula took a deep breath and said, "Was there a girl in your room before I came in?"
"No, what make you think that?" he said as he took another bite of his apple.
"Because I heard voices coming from your room when I was coming over." said Azula as she looked at him.
"Maybe it was all in your head?" he said as he stood up and throw away the apple core. "Anyway, what do you want to talk about?" Snake sat next to her as he looked at the young princess.
Snake and Azula spend most of that night talking. They exchanging stories about the places they been to and stories about embarssing moment in their life. Telling small jokes and some tip on fighting. The two spent hours talking to each other. Soon Snake noticed how late it is.
Snake yawned a bit. "Okay, lets call it a night."
"Oh… okay." Azula sounded a little disappointed as she does not want to end this.
Snake laid down his bed and turned side to look away from her. "Now get to bed, it's late and tomorrow is a big day." he said as he pulled the blanket over himself.
Azula was thinking about leaving his room, but she was too tired to walk back to her room. She lay next to Snake and goes under his blanket. "You don't mind if I sleep with you to night?" she said as she moved a bit closer to him.
Snake yawned a bit and said, "Do what you want." Snake closed his eyes and soon fall asleep.
The young princess waited a few minutes before moving even closer to him. She smiled a bit and closed her eyes. She could feel warm body heat coming from Snake as he slept. Azula found this moment to be very comforting for her. Before she knew it, Azula fall asleep as she slept next to Snake's body.

"Katara…"
"Who's there!?" said Katara as she could not see a nothing but the darkness sorrounding.
"Katara, you have been chosen…"
Scared and frighten, Katara started to run away from the voice. As she ran, a two water whips grabbed Katara by her wrist. She try to bend the water, but she could not bend it. "Why I can't use my bending!?"
"Katara, your going to receive a weapon of soul… Use them wisely…"
Soon Katara felt a sharp pain around her wirsts causing her to wake up from her Nightmare. She looked at her wirst and noticed she is wearing two arm brace with a long chain attach to them. She followed the chains that lead to two duel blades.
"So it wasn't a dream…" said Katara as she stare at her new weapons.
