I am listening to The Summer Set. :) If you don't know who they are look 'em up!

BTW I don't really know what happened to Zuko's mom.

day seven of Zuko being gone. :(

…

It was late evening and I had just taken a break from training. I was a full firebender now, I just have to train until we figure out what is going to happen. Everything went back to normal even with my fight with Sokka.

"I'm going to go for a walk." I told Aang and nodded to the guards.

"Is it safe?" They panicked, "Do you need an escort?" I made fire flame in my hands and smiled.

"No." I started to walk out but the guard caught my hand.

"If anything happened to you prince Zuko would-"

"I will be fine." I growled and walked pushed the button to open the gate. The guard still looked worried but I kept walking. I went into the small forest by gates.

I don't need to be taken care of. Why does everyone think that I am a baby? Just because I am younger than most of them doesn't mean I can't fend for myself!

I continued to walk hearing the leaves crunch under my feet. I thought I heard more than just my crunches but when I turned around no one was there.

I am just being paranoid.

I started to wall again careful unscrewing the cap on my water pouch, just in case. I defiantly heard someone now. I whipped around and was about to hit someone but sighed in relief.

It was Zuko.

I ran over to him and wrapped my legs around his waist. I caught him off balance and he fell backwards, I landed on top of him. I kissed him until I had to get oxygen, I laid my head on his shoulder.

"I love you." I whispered, he ran his hand through my hair.

"I love you too. So, why the walk?" He asked, knowing me and I always have a reason for walking.

I sighed. "We have to do something soon, because I am a fully realized Avatar. I just don't want to lose you." I grabbed his other hand that was on the floor.

"Lu. You won't lose me. Let's just go talk about this in your room." I nodded and we got up off the ground. I brushed off the leaves and rocks from his back. He laughed and grabbed my hand as we walked back to the palace.

We walked into my room sneaking past the other rooms so we could talk before anyone found out Zz was back.

I laid on my bed and he came and laid down next to me. I intertwined our hands and he started to talk.

"I know we are going to have to fight, but we are all fighting. I won a fight against my crazy sister. I will be fine, and Aang can do whatever you can do. No one will be lost." I looked down.

"Okay. But what happened with you? Did you find her?"

He closed his eyes and opened them again.

"She decided to stay. She said even if I was the Fire lord she would still be an enemy of the Fire nation." He sighed.

"What do you mean?" I asked really confused.

"When my uncle's son died he wanted to come home from battle. My father said that he was unfit to be fire lord and that he should take the throne. Me and my sister were watching, I ran away scared. My sister being the evil little-" I took a deep breath.

"It's okay. You don't have to tell me." I told him, he shook his head and continued.

"I assumed she was lying but she wasn't. My great grandfather said that he had to experience the pain Uncle did. He had to kill me." He choked on the last word, "That was all I ever got from my father. That was all he would tell me, but my mom told me what happened. He was going to kill me, my mom went to my father and told him a plan she had made to save me. She killed my great grandfather, my father being the only one their became Fire lord. My mom was banished." He put his hands on his head.

"Zz, I am so sorry. I wish I could help you."

"She wanted to stay! I could unbanish her and she still stayed!" He said angry now.

I put my hands on the side of his face. Tears welled up in his eyes.

I had never seen him cry, it was horrible. I never wanted to see it again. I gave him a big hug, I couldn't say anything I didn't know what to say. I just continued to hug him.

Once he was calm again we walked out and all talked about what was going to happen next. No one asked about Zuko's mom because I gave them that look.

I was taking a drink of water when Aang spoke.

"So, we are going to invade their place tomorrow." I spit out my water, Zuko patted me on the back as I coughed.

"WHAT?" I screamed, "Since when! I thought we had a long time!" I almost started hyperventilating. Zuko rubbed my back soothingly.

"The sooner the better." I leaned into Zuko.

"So, tomorrow morning then." Sokka said.
