This chapter is going to be a whole lot happier. :) By the way she got out of the hospital yesterday and it is early morning the next day. Oh yeah! One thing I changed, he necklace was a bracelet instead. Sorry.

Lulu POV

Someone opened the window to my room, waking me up.

"Time to get you an animal guardian." Aang said. I sat up and pulled the covers off.

"A what?" I asked, as I pulled my long black hair into a pony tail, but a few strands still fell down. I shrugged.

"An animal guardian. Almost every Avatar had one. Roku's was a dragon. Mine is Appa. So you need one too." He smiled.

"Uh, thanks." I said, trying to think of what to say. I grabbed my pack, which thankfully still had supplies in it.

"I will wait by Appa. Come out once you are ready." Appa? We are going to fly? He shut the door and I pulled out my Earthbenders clothes. I slipped them on, and looked in the mirror. I saw all the damage from the fight and my arrows.

My left shoulder had a nasty looking burn mark. I had a bruise on my cheek, and a cut above my eye. I had a big bruise on my arm, I assume from where my Waterbending backfired. I had a cut on my leg and a few other minor injuries. At least no one would see my lighting scar. It rarely hurt, I shook my head and walked out the door.

"Uh, I have never flew before. I confessed to Aang. Avoiding Appa, he was really big.

"Oh, it is easy." He petted Appa on the head. He motioned for me to come over, I slowly walked over. "Don't be afraid." I reached out and patted his head. He made a groaning sound and licked me. I tried to wipe it off. Aang laughed.

"He likes you." Then he bended onto Appa's head and grabbed the reins. I bended on to Appa's saddle.

A while later we reached a little shop that said 'Creature shop.' Appa landed roughly and I fell over.

"An easy way to get off is bending." He said, as he air bended off, I followed his example. Once we got inside I looked around at all of the cool pets.

"A bearded cat!" He exclaimed, he ran over to it. I saw a baby Buffalo-Deer and walked over to it. It made a weird sound and licked my hand. I petted it's head and Aang came back over.

"Is this the one you want?" I nodded, He walked over to the owner. I continued to pet it, it made happy noises.

"They are good pets." I looked up to see a guy leaning up against a wall, he had his arms crossed. He had dark brown hair, his eyes were green. He was wearing a Firebender outfit except the sleeves were cut off. He also had a sword hanging from his belt. I'm not going to lie, I thought he was kind of attractive.

"You thinks so?" He nodded.

"I don't lie." He responded. He took a step towards me. "You have a lot of scars." I wasn't about to tell this stranger why.

"So what?" He took another step towards me.

"A pretty girl like you shouldn't be fighting."

"I can fight if I want to." I snapped at him. I was getting angry, where was Aang? He was really close to me now.

"Are you here alone?" He asked.

"No." I said firmly. He lightly touched my wrist with his fingers. I jerked it away and picked up the baby Buffalo-deer. I had to find Aang.

"Okay, we are good to go." Aang greeted me.

"Thanks, Aang." We got onto Appa and left.

Mysterious person at store's point of view.

"Why didn't you grab her?" A guard yelled, once I got back to the hiding place. I rolled my eyes.

"These things take time." I responded. "Besides I have something of hers. Once she releases it's gone she will be back. Then she will be all ours." I clutched the bracelet in my hand.
