Arianna's POV
On the way back to the Fire Nation, an extremely bad storm hit. Zuko and Arianna were below deck in their room. They just listened as the wind picked up, the thunder cracked and the rain pouring.
"Geez, this is a pretty bad storm," Arianna commented.
"Yes it is, but we'll be fine," Zuko said.
A few moments there was an extremely loud crash of thunder and Arianna snuggled closer to Zuko.
"What's wrong my love?"
"I'm not used to rain storms, blizzards are more of my thing," Arianna answered.
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere," Zuko replied.
Suddenly there was a crash of thunder much louder than the previous one. Arianna climbed into Zuko's lap and laid her head on his shoulder. Moments later there was a knock on the door. Zuko set Arianna on the bed and answered the door.
Zuko's POV
"What is it Captain?" Zuko asked.
"The ship has been damaged by a lightning strike your Majesty," the captain answered.
"How bad is it?" Zuko questioned.
"Pretty bad," the captain said.
"Will we be able to make it home?" Zuko inquired.
"No your Majesty, we're going to have to stop to get the ship repaired," the captain responded.
"All right, do what you have to, thank you for informing me," Zuko replied.
The captain bowed and then left.
Arianna's POV
Zuko came back into the room a few minutes later.
"What was that all about?" Arianna asked.
Zuko sat down on the bed. "The ship got struck by lightning and the ship is damaged."
"Oh, everything's going to be all right…right?"
"Yes, of course, but as soon as possible, we're going to have to stop and get it repaired, so we may get home a bit later than we wanted," Zuko said.
"But we're out in the middle of nowhere. What if we don't make it in time?"
"Ari, my love, calm down, we'll be fine," Zuko replied.
"Sorry, I'm just a bit paranoid," Arianna responded.
"Come on, let's get some sleep," Zuko said.
Arianna snuggled as close as she could to Zuko. "I love you."
Zuko kissed her forehead. "I love you too.
The next morning they managed to dock in a port where they could get the ship repaired.
It took a few days, but finally they could get going again. Finally they made it back to the Fire Nation, and the both of them were happy to be back.
