*Bangs head on desk* Sorry this is SO horribly late. But once my friend writes the battle scene (Twilight1801, I suck at them and it is her specialty. :)] Then I will update again, this is just the night before they invade.

I woke up in the middle of the night, sweating from the nightmare. I looked around the blackness of the room only lit by the moonlight. I touched the body next to me.

"Zuko." I whispered, as he woke up from my panic.

I slipped my hands under his arms and touched his bare back. He ran a hand through my hair.

"Zz, I don't think I am ready. How can I do this?"

"I know you can. You are strong, smart and determined. Not to mention beautiful." He whispered past my hair into my ear.

"What if someone dies?"

He very well knew that I didn't just mean him -mostly him- but he knew I meant everyone else too.

"We have all been part of a big battle. We can handle it."

He pulled me closer.

"Alright" I sighed.

"No need to worry. Do you want to tell me about the nightmare?" I shook my head. "Okay, go to sleep. You need to rest up." He kissed me for a moment.

Truthfully I was scared to go to sleep, worried to have another nightmare. But here in Zuko's arms it was very easy to fall asleep.

Zuko backed me up into a wall, his lips never leaving mine. I jumped up and hooked my arms around his waist, and my arms around his neck. Zz took advantage of it and kissed my neck, slowly. I smiled and ran my fingers through his hair, then brought his mouth back up to mine.

We would have kept going but we were interrupted by a loud clap.

"Well, that was quite a show." The voice mocked us.

I knew that voice, it haunted me.

Well, it would have been bad enough for a parent to catch us kissing. But an evil, malicious, 'bent on ruling the world dictator' was worst. Way worst.

A growl came from me but I didn't know why. I quickly untangled myself from Zuko and looked into Oazi's golden eyes. They looked so much like Zuko's it hurt.

I wanted to look away from his face but I couldn't. And I knew I had to fight.

He smirked at me and I growled, very low.

"Did you just growl? Seriously?"

Ugh, I hate him so much.

"Me and Zuko can take you." I nudged Zuko for affect.

He laughed like a person gone crazy.

"Sure. I have no doubt that you can. But not when I have such a potent distraction."

On cue, Zack strolled out of an opening, and stood next to Oazi. I flinched seeing him again, him knowing I liked him and him still hurting Zuko. Fire flamed at my hands and earth rooted my feet were they stood.

"Oh. Don't get upset now, I haven't even begun."

A huge rock fixture came out of the ground and held Aang in chains. He struggled more once he saw me.

"See? Now, you can protect Zuko from Zack. Go after me, or save Aang. Which do you choose."

I looked back in forth I could betray none of them! I don't know what to do.

Avatar state please help me. I pleaded to myself but nothing happened.

"You are taking quite to long!" He roared.

Then a man came out and held a sword up to Aang's throat. At the same time Zack Lunged at Zuko, staying onto of him fire in hands.

"Lulu! Help!" They screamed at the same time. "We need you!"

I looked back and forth, Zuko was closer and I loved him. But Aang was the Avatar, and Oazi needed to die.

I shot fire at both of Aang's arm chains and lunged for Zuko but wasn't quick enough. Zack shot lighting through his heart. And the man just stabbed Aang.

"NO! ZZ! ZUKO! AANG!" I screeched., tears streaming my face.

Oazi and Zack walked towards me, about to kill me.

"Lulu. Lulu!" They were saying frantically. Why frantically? I was being shaken but by who?

I opened my eyes, now awake. To see Zuko clutching me and shaking me, hard. Aang was next to my bed, looking very worried.

"I'm sorry." I noticed not only did I cry in my dream, I cried for real.

"You scared the heck out of me, Lu." I clutched on to Zuko.

Glad that he was still here.

"Sorry." I said again.

"Don't be sorry." Aang added, "I had nightmares before too. But none of it is real."

"What happened, Lu? Maybe If you talk about it will help." I nodded slowly.

"Aang and you d-died. Oazi was there and Zack was there. I couldn't fight them both off. I didn't have time. I had to choose, I guess I chose wrong."

I buried my head in Zuko's warm and soft shoulder.

"You will never choose wrong, no matter what you do." Zuko reassured me, but it confused me a little.

I can choose wrong. I cannot chose between one of them and end a life.

Aang slowly backed out of the room having nothing more to say.

Zuko didn't press me to sleep or talk more about the dream. He just stayed with me and that was enough.

Did you like it? It was a very scary dream, I think. Well, you will find out what really happens soon enough. *sneaky eyes*
