Christmas break started yesterday! YAY! More updates!

Sorry been distracted a lot. My computer died so I had to write this down on scratch paper all afternoon. Then I lost the paper for a few days and had to improvise then I found it then I left it in the car and then I lost it again. Some of this chapter was from memory; well at least it got better.

Thanks 4 the reviews: KC2016, was the fastest reviewer and No Ms. Flutter, your reviews do not count. As I have said before, I think, No I do not own A:TLA and yes, I'm a little too late 4 the big avatar fanfiction spree. Whelp, it's not too late. Is it? Heh Heh, yeah...

Where's Suki?

Third Person P.O.V.

They stayed in the woods until dawn. Even if they wanted to stay, they had to leave their camp in the forest. The Kyoshi warriors were heading home to the island after being away for months, the gaang was heading towards the warriors previous occupant, Gaoling.

"So we'll be seeing you later." Katara asked Ty Lee and Mai when Sokka had finally gotten up.

"Yeah, we will meet again soon." Ty Lee assured, though tears were in her eyes getting ready to turn her make-up into much once again.

"Cry baby." Mai said in a reaction to Ty Lee's tears, but overall still hugged her…distant friends farewell.

After everyone left to pack up his or her belongings, Suki walked up to Ty Lee who was doing a weird pose as always.

"Ty Lee?" She asked the acrobat.

"Ahh!" Ty Lee screamed in surprise, "Wow, you did train in stealth, I didn't hear you coming. What do you need?"

"Well, I've really only been traveling with the avatar because a long distance relationship between Sokka and I so-" The former warrior started, shuffling her feet in anxiousness.

"You want to rejoin the warriors because it's uncomfortable to be around 'the one who's name should be not spoken' anymore." Ty Lee Said getting up from her bizarre yoga stretch.

That last comment made Suki laugh, but then ask, "How did you know?"

"It was obvious." Ty Le stated, Suki hoped it wasn't obvious because she didn't like asking the gaang, "Your aura was turquoise, it's a sign of confusion and guilt. So I put it together this morning."

"Ohh…So I can stay with you guys." 'Face paint' asked hopefully.

"Of course, the Kyoshi Warriors are happy to greet their greatest warrior back into the family." Ty Lee said, beaming and bowing to Suki.

"You don't know how much that means to me." Suki thanked, "I am humble to accept."

"Going to tell them now?" Ty Lee questioned.

"Yeah." Suki said, receiving a hug from the fellow warrior. Leaving your best friend is hard.

"Meet us back here in five minutes." Ty Lee said resuming her strange position on the grass.

"Okay." Suki replied and walked away.

Ty Lee's P.O.V.

FLASHBACK DURING WEIRD POSE TIME~

"Azula!" Mai shouted to the eight-year-old fire princess.

"Girls are crazy." We heard Zuko shout to his mother in the distance while storming into the halls.

"That was mean." I said, sorry for my emotionless friend and the young prince of fire.

Then Azula shot me a dirty look that meant 'say one more thing about it being mean and everything you own will be burned to ash'. Best Friends Forever am I right?

"But mostly funny." I quickly covered.

"I'm going to take a shower." Mai said angrily, running off in the opposite direction of us.

"What do want to do?" Azula asked me but before I could answer she continued, "Steal Zuko's clothes or Mai's?"

"Uhh…Third option?" I murmured weakly, afraid my friend would not like my answer of no.

"Raid Zuko's room." Azula offered angrily anxious for my answered, so impatient. Well, then again it was Azula.

"Umm…None of the above?" I whispered, agitating the princess.

"Speak up! I can't hear you." Azula shouted and you could practically see the steam coming out of her ears. 'She is a firebender' I reminded myself.

"Uhh…Let's go raid your brother's-" I stared

"Ty Lee?" A voice called, interrupting my memory. I don't remember that in my childhood.

'TY LEE!'

~(But it was about to get good!) BACK TO REALITY (Yeah? Well shut up it's my story)~

"Aaaaahhhhh!" I screamed, falling out of my upside-down meditative position, "Mai? WTH! Why do people keep sneaking up on me?"

"Uhh…yeah, sure about Suki joining us..." Mai said, "The warriors are okay with it except we agreed to always have an even number, so I was thinking about-"

"Joining Aang and his friends?" I finished, ending yet another person's sentence for them.

"Yeah, would that be okay?" Mai replied apologetically, twiddling with one of her daggers.

"Of course, it must've been hard to break up with Zuko." I said sadly.

"Not really," Mai replied, surprising herself more than me, "I want to make up with him, he didn't deserve it. It was of my bad judgment."

"We shall see each other in time, friend." She finished, hugging me tightly.

This was different because Mai didn't give hugs freely. "I'll miss you." I heard her whisper.

As she walked away I whispered, "I'll miss you too."

ON APPA~

Aang's P.O.V.

I was playing with Momo until Suki's presents behind me caught my attention.

"Hey Suki." I said without looking at her.

"How do you do that?" Suki asked me.

"Energy bending," I said, turning to face the Kyoshi warrior, "I can feel the energy of the earth and people. Pretty cool right?"

"Yeah, cool." Suki said not caring to put in enthusiasm, "Uh, look I can't stay with you guys being around…you know who…is really painful so I want to leave is that okay?"

I was about to answer when Katara came bursting out of the bushes and ran up to Suki, she had apparently heard the last part of our conversation.

"WHAT?" Katara yelled, "Why are you leaving? Who are you going to stay with? Is this about my brother? Can I beat him up for you? Are you leaving right now? I'm gonna miss you!"

"Umm…" Suki started, trying to comprehend every question, "Sokka. Kyoshi Warriors. Yes. No. Yes. I'll miss you too."

"Suki…" The waterbender whined, "Fine. I know what it would be like, I wouldn't want to be around Sokka either."

"I agree with Sweetness." Toph said walking out of the trees, "I don't want to be around Sokka at all."

"Why wouldn't we want to be around Sokka?" Zuko asked, following close behind Toph.

After we told Zuko what happened, we said our goodbyes to Suki.

"Bye Face Paint." Toph said, "I'll…Miss you."

"I'll miss you too Mud Princess." Suki teased.

"Yeah…keep practicing fan girl." Toph replied, and then hugged Suki.

"Bye Suki." Zuko said, holding out his hand to shake, but Suki still hugged him anyway, "You scared me the entire time you were here, even more than Katara."

"Am I that special?" Suki asked sarcastically, earning a laugh form Toph.

"Look's like Toph has rubbed off on you." I answered from Appa's head.

"Thanks," Suki said distantly, "can you tell Sokka the story, he probably got lost in the woods again.

"No problem." I said, "Toph can you find Sokka?"

"Sure Twinkles." Toph replied, running off into the forest.

"So, bye guys." Suki said awkwardly.

"Yeah, bye, I guess." Katara said, waving as Suki walked away.

"I'll miss her." Zuko said after we could no longer see Suki.

"Me too." I said, looking towards the eastern part of the woods where the sun was rising.

"Ditto." Katara said, climbing onto Appa's head with me.

Zuko's P.O.V.

After Suki left I waited by Appa for Toph to find Sokka, while Aang and Katara were talking on the bison's head.

Soon enough Aang spotted someone in the distance.

Thinking it was Toph we all ran over. "Did you find Sokka?" I asked it.

"Why would I find him?" replied the figure, and then she stepped out from the shadows.

"Mai!" I screamed, then I kneeled before her, "I knew it would happen sooner or later! If you're here to kill please make it quick and painless."

"Gee, is that all you care about?" Mai asked aloofly, "As much as I want to, I'm not here to kill you."

"You're not?" Katara asked, "I was kind of hoping that you were."

"We are going to be good friends." Mai said walking over to Katara with a…smile?

"Why are you really here then?" Aang asked, Guru Goody Goody as I said before.

"To travel with you guys," Mai replied, and my jaw unhinged it self, "that would be okay right?"

"Of course," Aang said closing my mouth for me, "a friend of Zuko is always welcome."

"Technically she's my-" I started before I got elbowed in the stomach, "Ow…Katara, that hurt."

"Ya know," She snapped, "I think you would be hurting a whole lot more if you finished your sentence."

"Let's just get to Appa," Aang suggested, before things got worse, "Mai do you have traveling things?"

"Have I been traveling on foot for two years?" Mai answered.

"She's got you there." Katara pointed out.

"I thought you were supposed to be my girlfriend." Aang whined, starting to walk away.

"I am," Katara replied, following him, "It doesn't mean I can't point out pwnage."

"True." Aang sighed.

"Well if we are going to argue, can we bet on how long it will take Toph and Sokka to hook up?" Mai offered, getting on Appa.

"I'll put 20 gold pieces on next month." I said heaving my stuff onto the saddle.

"We'll put 30 on Christmas." Katara betted for her and Aang.

"Deal." I agreed, and then the realization struck me, "Wait, Christmas?"

"Yeah, you know, the happy holiday," Aang said airlifting himself onto the saddle, "mistletoe, presents, lights, the holiday in four days?"

"I think I just found out why Toph only wanted to stay for a week," Katara said, "Toph doesn't exactly like any of those things."

"Well, I thought Christmas was two weeks from now!" I exclaimed, "So when Toph asked three weeks ago that's what I told her. She must've done the math wrong."

"In my defense I don't do math." A female voice called, earthbending her and another onto Appa. "I made Sokka do it."

"TOPH! SOKKA!" We all scream, surprised at their sudden appearance. Our screams made Sokka scream and Toph roll her eyes.

"How long have you been listening?" Aang asked, once our scream party was over.

"A while," Sokka said, "We heard Mai come in."

"Oh and by the way," Toph asked, "Is Christmas really in four days?"

"Yes." Katara said, and Aang moved back to Appa's head.

"My family always makes a huge deal about it," Toph complained, "I hated it, the singing, the bright lights I can't see, the gingerbread houses I'm not allowed to eat."

"Well you said we were staying for a week and that's what we are going to do." Aang said, "Appa Yip Yip."

"If we go at this rate, we'll get to Gaoling by Christmas eve." Katara said tallying up the days.

And we were off. About ten minutes into our flight Sokka realized something and asked, "Hey, Where's Suki?"

Make sure to look for an update on Christmas eve, CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! Yeah! I'll be up all night everyday on CB. (Christmas Break) Wish me luck! I don't have much to say except chapter updates might slow down due to a newly started sport, soccer. Well, I write most of the chapters after school when I'm waiting for my dad to pick me up. Can't drive yet *tear*Merry Christmas!
