Author: Okay everyone; say hi to Yue.

Everyone: Hi Yue!

Sokka: YUE!!

Yue: Hello Sokka.

Sokka: Author you rock! I talked to Yue!

Author: I told you so. Now go have fun you two. We'll be fine without you.

Suki: So what am I; chopped liver?

Author: No worries Suki. It doesn't go down like that in the story.

Toph: Hey, author, when do I get me a man?

Author: Aren't you a bit young still? You're what, fourteen?

Toph: So? This is our world, not yours. We don't have laws about kids being adults.

Author: Valid point. Let me put it this way. There are a few candidates for you.

Toph: A few? I am not that kind of girl!

Author: I meant there are a few men it could be. Why don't you let the readers make some guesses and suggestions? It can be a game.

Toph: Alright, but I get the final say.

Author: Sounds fair to me. It's your love life.

Chapter 20: Kindred Spirits

"What about Sokka?" Suki asked Tui.

"I believe you have feelings for the boy, just as I do." Tui replied. "A part of me holds the spirit of the Princess Yue. That brave girl gave up her life to save me and the mortal world." Tui explained.

"You mean Yue is inside you?" Suki asked.

"In a manner of speaking." Tui responded, taking a seat on a comfy couch that appeared out of nowhere.

Suki looked behind her and saw a similar couch for her to sit on. It appeared to be upholstered in fine velvet and was ornately carved; obvious Tui had fine taste. Taking her seat, Suki said, "I still don't understand. Why did you bring me here to talk about Sokka? My feelings are none of your concern."

"So, you do love him then. It is just as I thought. We were right in choosing you." Tui said cryptically. "Now, I am sure you know that Yue loves Sokka as well. I believe you overheard Sokka telling you how he loved her."

Suki couldn't help the tears coming to her eyes. It wasn't fair! She couldn't compete with a princess turned moon spirit. She may have met Sokka first, but Yue was the first to capture his heart. Suki slumped her shoulders in defeat. "Don't worry. Yue can have him. I know I couldn't compete against her. I hope they will be happy together." She said, tears in her eyes and cascading down her cheeks.

"There, there child." Tui said, suddenly sitting at her side and holding up a handkerchief to her cheek. "You need to stop jumping to conclusions. If we have our way, you may not feel it necessary to compete for his love at all."

Suki sobbed but managed to stop crying. "I still don't understand." She said. Suki may be a warrior and she may be sixteen, but she was new to the ways of love and the heart and totally lost with her emotions.

"Allow me to show you something." Tui said, and conjured a screen where Suki could see Sokka, Aang and Katara arriving on Appa to the Northern Water tribe. Suki was riveted as she watched Sokka meet Yue and how they got along. She could feel the tears in her eyes once more as she saw them kiss on the bridge. All the events leading up to Yue's death were shown to her. "You see child, Yue loved Sokka so much she gave her life up for him. He loved her enough to let her go. Now, he is torn between his love for Yue and his love for you. I showed you this to help you understand that you and Yue are no different; both of you love the same man and he in turn loves both of you." Tui continued.

"So you're saying that I am as worthwhile as a princess that saved the world?" Suki asked, still unable to stop her tears.

"Child, you've saved the world a few times yourself. If not for your actions across the Avatars journey, he would not be here today. If you had not trained Sokka; if you had not saved Appa, or helped your friends through the serpents pass, one or all of them may not have survived. Your actions have played a part in getting things to where they are now. Do not be so hard on yourself. You and Yue have your differences, but you are kindred spirits. You both love the same man and care for your people. You both have the same courage and drive and duty. If not for being born to different nations, you could very well be sisters." Tui told her.

Suki smiled and stopped her tears. Tui provided another handkerchief and continued, "Yue was destined to return to me when I saved her life; she was meant to return the favor and save mine. Now that it is done, Yue must return to her true human self. She still has a part to play in events and deserves her chance to be in it. However, her mortal form is no more; it was given up to restore mine."

"So Yue is coming back to life?" Suki asked, still bewildered.

"Yue cannot return to life on her own power; she needs a body that only the Spirit King can provide, as he did for your friend Jet. Also, as I told the Avatar, you will need a true spirit guide in order to find the Star Fire Gateway and do what needs to be done. My request to you, dear child, is to allow Yue's spirit to rest within you for the duration of your quest. You would be as one, two women sharing one body." Tui explained.

"Wait… you want me to share my body with Princess Yue?" Suki asked incredulously.

"It would still be your body, dear. Yue could not have control without your consent. You would be together in your mind; talk to each other and help each other. Yue could take over if a situation demanded it and you gave consent. You could get to know her and truly understand how similar you are to each other. And in return, Yue can guide your group to the gateway and also increase your own abilities." Tui finished.

"Increase my abilities? What do you mean, Tui?" Suki asked curiously.

"Yue is a part of me, and La and I are the most powerful waterbenders ever known. By carrying Yue within you, it would grant you the ability to waterbend. Also, with her guidance you could learn to wield the power yourself, not just when she has control." Tiu replied.

"So let me get this straight." Suki said somewhat sarcastically, "You want me to carry around the boy I loves dead girlfriend so we can stop whatever is going on, so that she can eventually come back to life and in the process teach me waterbending?"

"That isn't how I would put it, but…" Tui trailed.

'So, spirits aren't perfect either.' Suki thought to herself. "So what you're saying is that I should help Yue come back to life so she can take Sokka for herself. I don't see where I would have a problem with that." Suki said irritably. She wasn't normally like this, but the spirit was obviously trying to coerce her into doing what it wanted even though it was not to her benefit. Still… they would need the spirit guide to find the Star Fire Island, and only Suki could help with that by agreeing to the terms.

Finally making her decision, Suki said, "I agree that I will carry Yue with me while we try and do what we need to do, but I will not sit idly by as she tries to take Sokka away from me."

"Agreed." Tui said simply, and then there was another flash of white light…

--

Suki awoke and found herself on the grass, soaking wet. Someone was pressing on her chest, trying to clear her airways of water. Opening her eyes, she saw it was Sokka. 'Sokka!' someone said in her ear. Suki coughed up a bit more water and tried to sit up. Sokka moved aside and held her back so she could sit up. "Sokka?" Suki murmured quietly. "What happened?" She was still groggy and was having trouble focusing.

"You were at the edge of the pool and fell in the water." Sokka told her. You're alright now though; I managed to get to you in time and pull you out."

Suki noticed that Sokka was also soaking wet. "I guess it didn't occur to you to have a waterbender save me?" Suki asked, coughing again.

"Well…" Sokka started.

"Actually Suki, Sokka sort of insisted." Katara smiled. "He ran over to the pool and jumped in before any of us could do anything. By the time we got to the water, he was already pulling you out." She told her.

"How long was I under?" Suki asked Sokka.

"Only a moment or two actually; hardly any time at all. I want Katara to check your head though. You might have hit it when you fell." Sokka said. Katara knelt down beside Suki and began examining her. Kita crept a bit closer and watched as Katara went about her inspection.

"She seems to be okay. Not even a bump on her head to show for it." Katara replied, standing. She then used her bending to draw the cool water from their clothing and dry them out, returning the water to its pool in one fluid motion.

Sokka stood and helped Suki to her feet. 'So chivalrous, isn't he?' the voice came again. Suki shook her head, trying to clear the fog away. Something had happened… and then it hit her; Princess Yue. 'Yes, I am here. Pleased to meet you, Suki. I have been watching over you for a long time.' Yue said in the vaults of her mind. Suki lost her balance and fell over. As she was swept into unconsciousness, she saw Sokka's face and heard Yue say, 'It's so wonderful to see him again.'

--

Suki awoke in a dark room; sometime in the middle of the night, she was sure. It had already been late in the day when they had gone to the oasis. 'It is approximately an hour after midnight, if that helps.' came Yue's voice.

'So I wasn't just dreaming? You're really in my body with me?' Suki asked amazed.

'Yes, I am really here; and thank you so much for letting me come with you like this, Suki. If there is anything I can do to repay you, just ask.' Yue told her.

'Sure, you can let Sokka go.' Suki thought to herself, totally forgetting that Yue was in her mind as well. She must have thought it out loud, so to speak.

'I am sorry you feel that way, but I can understand why you do. Sokka is quite a man, isn't he?' Yue observed.

'I'm sorry Princess Yue. I didn't mean to think that out loud. I am still getting used to this.' Suki apologized.

'It's quite alright Suki. You wouldn't believe how long it took me to get used to being a part of Tui.' Yue smiled. Suki wasn't sure how she knew Yue smiled, but she just knew.

'So… about Sokka…' Suki began.

'I know you love him very much, just as I do. I cannot help you see the future in this instance. All I can say is that I respect you as a person and that whatever he decides is okay with me.' Yue told her simply.

'You sure are calm about this.' Suki pointed out.

'I realized that there was a good chance Sokka would choose you and I have been watching you both most closely. I believe Sokka made a very good choice in you and I have no jealousy. I had moved on to another plane of existence where he could not follow; I could not begrudge him his happiness. Now that I have a chance at being mortal again, I wish to make the most of my time with him, for when the choice comes, I believe he will choose you and I will have to live with his choice.' Yue said.

Suki was astounded that she was so calm about the whole thing. Yue had just said she expected to lose Sokka with a straight face. What was she supposed to think of this girl?

'You're a much stronger person than I am, princess.' Suki told her.

'Your much stronger than you think, Suki; and please, call me Yue. There is no need to be formal when it is just the two of us.' Yue told her.

'So, what do we do now? Do I tell everyone about you?' Suki asked her.

'That may be necessary eventually, but I would prefer to have a chance to reacquaint myself with the world from this point of view. I can stay hidden for now.' Yue suggested slyly.

Suki had a pretty good idea where her thoughts were going. 'You want to find a way to have a little fun with everyone, don't you?" Suki accused.

'You mean you don't? I got the idea from you.' Yue laughed.

This was going to be interesting, Suki thought to herself.

--

Suki spent the remainder of the night talking with Yue. She was amazed to find out how much they had in common despite their differences. Tui had been right about her. They became good friends in those hours before dawn. Yue showed her some basic waterbending forms and explained how she herself had not been a waterbender prior to her death. Suki was amazed but mastered the techniques with a bit of practice. Soon she was bending water around her room, though at a very basic level.

Yue also showed her how there were a few different modes to their mutual body possession. When Suki wanted control, she was her normal self and Yue was just a voice in her mind. If she chose, Yue could take over Suki's body and no one would know the difference unless she did something out of character. Lastly, Yue could manifest herself, using her powers to change Suki's form to her own. In this way, she was already living again. Suki was amazed when Yue took over to find she was able to see and hear everything but be unable to will herself to do anything. It was confining, and yet strangely freeing at the same time not having to worry about normal body care. Yue enjoyed the time they spent sitting in front of the mirror simply combing her hair.

Yue told Suki all about her life here in the Northern Water Tribe; growing up as a princess. Suki in turn told her about living on Kyoshi Island and being a warrior even though she was a girl. Though Yue could now bend, she was no warrior and was interested in learning enough to be able to take care of herself. Suki promised to train her in combat if Yue would teach her more about statecraft and other royal niceties. They both without discussion had not brought up Sokka.

Now it was dawn, and the sun was rising. A knock came to the door and Suki called, "Enter."

Standing at the door was Katara. She smiled when she saw Suki up and about. "Glad to see your doing better. How do you feel?" Katara asked her.

"I'm much better now, thanks Katara." Suki said.

Katara came in and sat on the bed. "Any idea what happened yesterday?" Katara asked her intently.

Suki and Yue had promised each other not to reveal anything just yet. Suki didn't know what to say, but Yue told her…

"It was nothing; probably just a fainting spell. I used to have them when I was a child. I guess it hit me unaware." Suki said, only it wasn't really Suki. Yue and Suki had switched places with Katara none the wiser. Yue had made up an answer faster than Suki could, and Suki had been happy to trade control.

"Well, as long as you're alright, then no harm done. Sokka is still upset that Yue wouldn't talk to him." Katara told her.

Yue kept a straight face and said, "Well, maybe that was his answer; or maybe she couldn't see him."

"Maybe…" Katara trailed. "So, are you up for joining us in the main hall? Aang said he would fill us in on what he found out this morning. Things were bit chaotic last night."

"Chaotic?" Yue asked her.

"Well, I guess between your accident and Aang's revelations, things got a bit tense. A few of us said some things we probably shouldn't have…" she trailed again. "Anyway, let's go." Katara said, bouncing off the bed.

"I will be there in a minute. Just want to check something." Yue said.

"Alright. See you there." Katara replied, leaving the room.

'I wonder what happened last night.' Suki said, taking over once more.

'If you like, we can find out.' Yue replied. Suki agreed, and Yue somehow painted a very realistic portrait of events last night. Suki saw herself fall into the water after the fish touched her, and then Sokka's dashing rescue attempt. 'He always was a sucker for a damsel in distress.' Yue noted. Suki laughed. Sokka had done the same for her a few times now. She saw Sokka pull her out of the water and how he tried to clear her airways. Katara was there, and used her bending to get the water out. Suki coughed and woke up, only to pass out again. She didn't even remember waking up last night.

'So why did I pass out like that?' Suki asked her.

'It was a side effect of having me with you; it took a little getting used to. You recovered much faster than La thought you would though. I knew you were stronger than he figured.' Yue said, showing her what they had been waiting for.

Apparently Sokka had been holding the unconscious Suki and trying to shake her awake. "Suki, wake up." Sokka called gently.

"She'll be fine Sokka. We will get her back to her room and give her a good night's sleep. There's nothing wrong with her." Kita said from where she stood nearby.

"Excuse me, Kita. I think I should be the one making that call." Katara snapped at her.

Kita looked almost stricken, but nodded and started to walk away. "Katara!" Kenji barked. Katara nearly jumped out of her skin. "Kita was only trying to help. You'll be kind to recall that she is the trained healer here, and the best one we have. You have no right to talk to her like that. And what's more, she is your elder and is to be treated with respect." Kenji commanded.

Katara looked like she had just been slapped in the face. Her cheeks went red and she turned away from Kenji. "I'm the one who is treating her. It is my call on how to do it." She stated defiantly.

"Just because you were closer than the rest of us doesn't mean you're her healer. Even I could have managed what you just did, and I am untrained at healing. Do not let your abilities cloud your senses. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Now, apologize to Kita." Kenji demanded.

Katara stood up defiantly and looked Kenji straight in the eye. "No; I won't!" she shouted. "You have no authority over me and have no right to talk to me like that. Suki is my friend and I will look after her. I don't need you sticking your nose where it doesn't belong!"

"Katara!" Hakoda barked. Katara jumped again, and this time there was no defiant response. "You're my daughter, and as such I do have the right to talk to you as I wish. Now that's enough. Go to your room!"

Katara said something under her breath and stormed out of the oasis. As she walked past her father, she muttered, "So now he decided he wants to be a father." The look on Hakoda's face was one of shame and disappointment, but also of guilt.

'So that's what happened. I wonder why she's so cheerful after that episode.' Suki mentioned.

'I am guessing because she thinks you will side with her and we are the only one she hasn't offended.' Yue said.

'So she expects to us defend her to everyone else? She was acting like a petulant child.' Suki commented.

'I agree. Katara is going through a lot right now, though. She needs someone to talk to. Perhaps we could be that someone.' Yue suggested.

Suki ran through her door and towards the main room. She intercepted Katara just as she was about to enter. "Katara!" Suki called to her. Katara's hand froze on the door handle.

"Suki?" Katara asked curiously. "Glad you could make it."

"I haven't made it yet. I want to talk to you. Can we go back to my room for a little bit?" Suki asked her.

"I guess so." Katara said a little too quickly. "I don't think we will be missed for a little while. Let's go."

Suki and Katara returned to Suki's room. Katara took a seat in the nearby chair while Suki sat on her bed. She folded her arms around her raised knees and looked Katara in the eye. Unsure how to proceed, Suki gave Yue control of her body and let her do the talking.

"Katara, what is going on with you?" Yue asked Katara, though Katara of course believed it was Suki she was speaking to.

"Nothing; what do you mean?" she asked curiously.

"I heard what happened last night at the oasis; why did you snap like you did? It isn't like you." Yue asked her.

"You heard that? I… um…" Katara seemed caught off guard, surprised. Suki believed Yue was right in that Katara had hoped she hadn't alienated at least one person.

"It's alright Katara. I don't think any less of you; I just want to know what's bothering you. You haven't been the same since you got here." Yue said.

"I… its complicated." Katara said evasively.

"So un-complicate it, or give me a chance to piece it out. You need to talk to someone; that much is clear." Yue said, and then shifted control back to Suki.

'She needs to talk to you. You're her friend. She hardly knew me.' Yue told her.

"Well… I can't believe I am saying this, but it's about Aang." Katara began. "He actually told me he loves me."

"That's great, Katara!" Suki said happily. Of course, she already knew that. Aang had told her so on the ship coming to the North Pole.

"I'm not so sure. I didn't respond back, and he said that was okay… but for some reason I can't find it in me to say the words back. I don't know what's wrong with me." Katara admitted.

"There's nothing wrong with you, Katara. You'll say what's in your heart when the time is right. Stop putting so much pressure on yourself." Suki told her.

"But there's more. When we got here, I met Kenji. He is the man I always dreamed I would marry; tall, smart and a great waterbending master. I got to talking with him and found myself interested in him…" Katara trailed.

"But then you found out about him being engaged to Mina, right?" Suki guessed.

"Right; I kicked myself for being such a fool. He's ten years older than me and a prime catch; of course he'd have a girlfriend. What's worse is I didn't even think of Aang while I was looking at Kenji." Katara admitted.

"You had a crush; it happens." Suki said simply.

"At the same time, I got to know Kita when we were healing Aang. We were connected somehow; like we were in each other's souls. Can you imagine that?" Katara asked.

"I think I can understand better than you think." Suki replied. Yue giggled.

"Well, we got close while waiting for Aang to rescue us. She seemed like a really great person; but then she told me some things I just can't believe." Katara said.

'I think I know where this is going.' Yue told Suki.

"Like what?" Suki asked.

Katara repeated what Kita had told her in confidence; about her hands, how she got them and what she had said about her father. Suki was surprised Katara would break a confidence so quickly, but Yue dismissed it as talk between best friends. Some things just needed to be shared when they were eating away at you.

"I just can't accept what she's saying. And she said she loves my dad. I bet she's making it all up just so she can land a Chief." Katara stated.

'It's all true, you know.' Yue told Suki.

'What is?' Suki asked her.

'All of it. Tui and La really did show her those visions and give her hands their gift when she was a little girl. She is also destined to be with Hakoda should she succeed in averting his premature death. Kita was totally honest with her.' Yue explained.

"What if it's all true?" Suki asked Katara curiously. "We were just at the oasis. We know the spirits are there. Why isn't it possible?" Suki inquired. She was trying to get Katara to at least accept the possibility.

"It's just too farfetched. I can't believe my father would fall in love with a woman in just a few days, and I refuse to believe she has some sort of mystical healing sense. It's absurd." Katara stated as if it was the last she'd hear about it.

'I know we wanted to keep you a secret, but…' Suki started.

'It's alright Suki. Katara should know; and besides, she can keep a secret too I am sure. This is a very strange circumstance.' Yue admitted.

"Katara, there's something I have to tell you, but you have to swear not to tell anyone yet." Suki started.

"I swear." Katara replied.

"I didn't faint when I fell into the water. I was talking to the moon spirit, Tui." Suki told her.

"What?" Katara asked, obviously baffled.

"Tui wanted to ask me for a favor, and I agreed. I fainted because I am carrying a part of the moon spirit with me." Suki admitted.

"But… how is that possible? I don't understand." Katara said, still confused.

"Tui said we needed a spirit guide to take us to Star Fire Island and promised Aang she would provide one. She kept her word." Suki told her. "She came over to me and asked me to be a host for the spirit so she could come with us and lead us to the island. In return, we need to try and get the Spirit King to restore her physical form."

"She gave you a spirit to… Yue?" Katara asked, suddenly understanding.

Yue took over and said, "Yes Katara, it's me."

"This is some sort of joke, right?" Katara forced a small laugh out.

"It is no joke. Perhaps a change will convince you." Yue said.

A bright light seemed to pulse from within Suki; Katara had to cover her eyes. When the light cleared, Yue was standing before her in her true from.

"Yue?!" Katara exclaimed, jumping into her arms and hugging her. "But how…"

"It is like Suki told you, Katara. I am currently in her body so that I may help you all in your quest. Suki and I have been talking and I want you to know the truth. Kita really did get her power from the moon and ocean spirits. She really did see those visions and she really does love your father very much." Yue told her kindly.

Katara had no choice but to believe her. "So everything Kita told me… it's all true? And I was so mean to her…" Katara said slowly, suddenly realizing what a jerk she had been. Kita had truly loved her father; she wasn't just looking to become the wife of a chief after all.

"Everyone loves you and will forgive your outburst, I am sure. What you really need to focus on is your own pain. You do not know yet how you truly feel about the Avatar, but you will in time. Stop forcing yourself to look for answers where there are none. Aang loves you; he isn't going anywhere." Yue told her.

"Thanks, Yue; and you too Suki. Suki can hear me, right?" Katara asked.

"Of course I can." Yue replied in Suki's mode of speech.

"Wow… this is going to take some getting used to. And Sokka…"Katara started, and then realized what she was saying. Both girls loved Sokka and he loved both girls. This was going to be one heck of a mess. "How are you…?"

"We decided not to tell anyone about Yue and just take things one step at a time. Just because we like the same boy doesn't mean we can't be friends." Suki said through Yue's voice. The bright light returned and Suki once again stood before them.

"I guess so." Katara admitted. "So you're both in the same one body. What's it like?"

"Weird." Suki said. "It took me a little while to get used to it, but it does have some perks. I can talk to Yue whenever I want, and it's definitely not lonely." She laughed. "Oh, and check this out!" Suki exclaimed, pulling ice from the wall and bending it into a ball and into her hand.

"Suki, how did you do that!?" Katara exclaimed.

"It isn't really me. Yue provides the power and she's teaching me to waterbend. While she's in my body, I can do it." Suki told her as she slammed the ball back into the wall and repaired the damage.

"That's incredible. Yue, could you teach me a few moves I may not know yet?" Katara asked.

"I think that can be arranged." Yue admitted through Suki's lips as she took a seat on the bed again. Katara giggled. "What's so funny?"

"I just imagined the look on Sokka's face when you spring on him that Yue has been here the whole time in his girlfriend's body." Katara told them, and then burst out laughing.

--

Aang: Has the game started yet? My money is on Jet.

Sokka: I would bet it's an earthbender though.

Katara: Sokka, Jet IS an earthbender now, remember?

Sokka: Oh yeah! Okay, my money is on Haru.

Katara: Haru? Why in the world would you pick him?

Sokka: He's an earthbender and he isn't dead. Besides, I think Jet will end up with Ty-Lee.

Ty-Lee: I think Sokka is right.

Mai: I think Toph will be the only smart person and stay single. Being a couple isn't everything.

Zuko: It does have its good points though, doesn't it Mai?

Mai: Oh, absolutely.

Toph: I think it will be… that Fire Nation colonial kid that fed Appa at the circus.

Author: Who?

Toph: You know, in the episode Appa's lost days. There was that boy about my age that fed Appa and told him to fly away.

Author: Oh yeah… it's an idea. Any other guesses?

Zuko: I am voting on a new character made just for her.

Bato: I am going to go out on a limb and say Lu-Ten. Kids back, so he is a candidate right?

Toph: Ewww. Why would I go out with a dead guy?

Author: So… to be continued…

Author's Corner:

So this chapter once again focused primarily on Suki, but also highlighted Katara's continuous issues and Yue's introduction. I know the story is moving along sort of slow, but I am dealing with way too many characters to follow just one or even a few. Because of that, this story will be huge. I'm going to get there. Stop badgering me. LOL!

It appears to be a relative possibility that Yue did not take over for Tui so much as merge her life back into Tui. In that scenario, what I have done here is quite possible. Instead of sharing Tui's body, Yue now share's Suki's. In theory, however, her living soul is still of the moon spirit. That is how she gained her waterbending abilities and knowledge. As to the visions portrayed here, Suki being unconscious did not mean that Yue was, and she does have a part of the elder spirits power within her so of course you can expect a few things considered more mystical than just bending. Being able to switch to her own form I took from the time Aang was possessed by Avatar Roku during the Winter Solstice. Instead of wind, it made more sense to have light be the changing factor for a moon spirit type entity. Sorry to be bombing you with all this, but my logic seems sound and it beats twenty people each asking in an email. I do like the emails and reviews though, so do it anyway. Lol!

Katara finally showed her age and explained herself a bit better. Apparently she was embarrassed to like Kenji and find out about Mina, guilty about doing so while knowing Aang loves her, has issues with Kita because she's possessive of her father and believed Kita to be a prestige seeker, and lastly she still resents her father for abandoning her even though she forgave him. You'd act like a jerk too under all that stress. Her world was unraveling around her. Get over yourself.

Yue has been a true part of the moon spirit for a while now and as such has gained knowledge and insight inherent to that spirit as well as some of the spirits abilities to a lesser degree, such as waterbending. She is still the same white haired girl Sokka met during the waterbending master episode and she will continue to be that person. Don't expect me to rework her whole personality or anything silly like that.

Nothing on the bad guys this chapter. Next chapter may have some, we will see. Only a little left to do in the Northern Tribe before we move on to many other places and pick up the pace a bit.

Thanks again to all the reviewers!
