I don't own LoK or it's characters! No matter how badly I wish I own the uber-hot General Iroh II, I don't! *sad face*

"So, how are we going to find him? He could be anywhere!" Bolin yelled swinging his arms out dramatically. "I miss him…"

"I'm the one who was training with him!" Mako said worriedly, "This isn't like him to vanish without a trace. Something must have happened. It's the only possible explanation."

"If what the lieutenant said was true, then I'll need to give General Iroh back his bending," Korra said thoughtfully. "But there must be a way to track him somehow. But how are we supposed to do that if he's been missing for an entire month?!"

"Month and a half if you include the two weeks that they spent at port," Mako countered wearily putting his chopsticks down.

"What about that way that Fire Lord Zuko used to track down General Iroh the first?" Tenzin asked as he walked in. "All I heard was from the point where Korra was talking of tracking. Who seems to be missing this time?"

"General Iroh," they said in unison and Tenzin did a perfect spit-take with his tea.

"What?! When?! How did this happen?!" he demanded in a panic.

"they were attacked by a waterbender, someone who claimed to have been the daughter of Amon," Korra said gravely. "I don't know who she is, but if there's anything I'd like to see, it's a rematch between her and General Iroh, with her not bloodbending. We're still not sure if it was because of the full moon or not."

"And the girl?" Tenzin asked, having recognized the daughter of his adopted sister.

"Is with him," Mako said bowing his head to eat.

"Not good," Tenzin said getting up and beginning to pace as Lin followed in with Pema, Jinora, Ikki, Meelo, and the youngest of the children.

"What's not good, daddy?" Jinora asked spinning until she got to her seat.

"General Iroh was attacked and is now missing," Tenzin said gravely, and the others cringed at the news.

It was Korra who broke the silence to go back to debating on how in the world they were going to find Iroh and Kailee. This ended up in a fight about whether or not Kailee was even still alive, and if so, what proof the others had. Once that debate was ended by Tenzin and Lin, the debate was again turned back upon how they would find Iroh and Kailee. It was Asami who found the solution and volunteered her services as best that she could.

"Thank you, Miss Sato," Katara said walking in.

"Mother!" Tenzin said shocked at her arrival.

"Gran Gran!" the air nomad children yelled as they raced up to her.

"Your cousin, Kailee, was the first grandchild of mine," she told the three air nomads, "I loved her dearly, even though she was a nonbender and wanted so desperately to follow in my footsteps. So I instead coaxed her to follow in Ty Lee's footsteps, her paternal grandmother. The music box and the necklace was the last thing I was ever able to give her before she disappeared, and the music box was lost in the attack. Nobody even knows where it went since it was dropped in the fear of being killed by Amon and his early Equalists."

"But I think I know someone who does know where it is," Lin said firmly. "We believe that General Iroh was the firebender who helped you to escape."

"While it may be possible, we won't know until we find him," Tenzin reminded her. "And restore his bending now that Amon's daughter, Tarala, has gotten her hands on him."

"Did you just say… Tarala?" Katara asked gravely, and they nodded.

She collapsed into a wave of air that Tenzin had summoned as he saw his mother's legs come out from beneath her. she began sobbing quietly, and the others were silent as they tried to figure out just what was going on and why.

"What's wrong? Who is Tarala?" Bolin asked worriedly.

"Tarala was the daughter of Amon and a waterbender," an elderly man said walking in, and the current Team Avatar paled as they saw him. "She is no doubt a bloodbender like her father before her, and also the cousin of Kailee."

LOK

"I bought you something," Iroh said stepping towards Kailee with a box behind his back.

"You didn't have to do that," she reminded him. "Will you stop buying me things and buy something for yourself, just for once?"

"But I love doting on you," Iroh countered with a fond smirk. "Besides, I did buy something for myself today. I hid it from your mischievous prying little eyes."

"Jerk," she smiled playfully punching him in the arm. "How was work today? Any more rioting?"

"Surprisingly, no there weren't," he said raising his eyebrows. "They all claimed to have had their bending taken away by someone who claims to have been Amon's daughter."

"We need to get out of here," Kailee said with wide eyes. "if she's here, she'll find us. She'll destroy us if she finds out that we're still alive!"

"Calm down, Ikari. Tarala didn't even get near me," Iroh soothed. "and besides, we're nonbenders, what can she do to us?"

"She still scares me," Kailee said with tears in her eyes. "I don't remember my childhood, but I remember the fear associated with Tarala's name, the fear in my life that she so desperately and sadistically embalmed and burned into my very being. It's like I was terrified of her glaring at me because whenever she did I would feel pain for some weird reason."

"We'll need to stay in this town just a few more weeks," Iroh soothed, "Then I'll be able to afford two tickets to Republic City."

"Okay," Kailee finally caved, and he smiled and brought the box out in front of him. "Iroh!"

"Shh! It's Lee while we're here, remember?" he said quickly shushing her. "As long as we don't use each other's birth names, then we'll be fine and nobody will ever know that we are who we are. Just a few more weeks, and then we'll go see what Republic City has to offer for our pasts."

"Iroh, what is that?" Kailee asked looking up through the bottom of the dress and up towards the neck line.

"Hm?" he said peeking through the neckline to peek at her and to see her reaction to the surprise that he'd hidden inside the dress that was dangling just barely visible.

"Is that… a ring?" Kailee asked, and Iroh smiled and pulled away to go draw water for a bath. "Hey! Lee! Get back here, you never answered my question!"

"Try it on," Iroh encouraged, and she huffed and put her hands on her hips.

"What about you?" she demanded, and she could have sworn that she heard him snicker.

"Men don't wear dresses, it's a woman thing," he countered, and she let out a frustrated growl.

"You know that's not what I meant!" she yelled going back to the bedroom to try on the dress. "I highly doubt that man even thinks before he talks, just like Azula!"

Aw, lover's quarrel!
