I think is a brilliant idea, that shyamalan should direct Avatar the last Airbender as a movie. I found that the story of the series is simple and very easy to follow thats why it would be such a good movie I had an Idea to probably get rid of the problem about the name conflicts try The last Airbender, and Avatar as a subtitle. cheers

Shyamalan is a brilliant man and I loved Lady in the Water. I also like the show Avatar and I think it will be cool to watch it when the film is finished.

This show is pretty cool! I have seen only a few episodes, but I am a Shyamlan fan..... Hope this movie turns out good.

i was wondering if anyone knows anything about any open auditions or casting calls for the role of aang... or where i can find that kind of information out. thanks!

Do you know when auditions will start for Shyamalan's movie?

I love this show, and I always thought it would be a great live action film. What a great director, too! I would also like to know about any auditions in the boston, ma area; I'm interested in the role of Azula! Thank you!

I'm one of the greatest avatar fans ever, I see every episode multiple times and probably have most of them (esp. Book 2) memorized! I've heard about M. Night Shyamalan, and that his movies weren't too good, ( I personally never seen any of his movies so I don't have a real opinion) The fact that they are making it live action surprised me. Why? It was perfectly fine as an anime (yes, I'm calling it an anime) Because they're making it live action, and because the Director has some bad publicity, I'm scared. I'm scared for my beloved show. (well, I actually don't OWN the show, but...you get the idea) As for auditions, I'm not sure. I think some time in august. (just some guess work, august seems like a good time, because he's gonna finish a movie soon that'll be released in 2008, and since it might come out early in 2008, that gives them time to finish filming, and time to finish editing) They also might just use the voice actors. (But I'm not sure about that though) If they are (which the probably are) I wish all of you luck, and I'll see you there!

I wanna be Katara! But seriously, if anyone has any info, well... you know.

Need...... more......... info........... I think it'd be really cool to be Katara too. If anyone has info....... just, TELL ME!!!

I really think I could be Katara or Azula. The second I find info on auditions, I'll share it, whether or not it's already been posted.

Shyamalan is truly a genious moviemaker. I have no doubt the movie will be a success. Opening night, I'm there. No doubt. And the cartoon itself is a lot deeper than people give it credit for- try watching the character development. Or the various turns Zuko and Uncle Iroh's relationship takes. Look for the subtle lessons taught throughout the show, like thinking outside of the box, and respecting even your enemies. There's love, loss, adventure... plus, there's just some great humor. It's a kid's show, yes. But, seeing as my whole family watches it, ages ranging from 7-44, there really is something everyone can take from it. It's just amazing. [I SO hope that Dante Basco gets to be zuko in the movie...]

I know everybody else has posted this, but...I think I'll make it sound more urgent by posting it again. XD If anyone knows anything about auditions, please please please PLEASE share! I want...no, NEED to audition for this!

I am really worried about this. I love the avatar series but hate M. Night's movies. I am so sure that he is going to ruin my love of the series after this (what I'm sure is going to be an) awful movie. If anyone is in control of this, PLEASE I beg you stop M. Night from touching this brilliant show!!!!!

Do you know where and when auditions will start for Shyamalan's movie? I would really like to audition for Zuko.

YAH!!! i want to know WHEN and WHERE auditions for the moive is going to be also. REALLY LET ME KNOW. I want to be in the movie. I'll play Aang or Zuko

sorry for the typo's i ment to say "it is nice to hear, WELL" and "i would love info on the Auditions." Sorry once again

I agree with you Zac, that sounds like a good plan. Do u know anything about the auditions?

It's really late, isn't it? For a movie that's going to be released in 2008, even if it IS in late 2008... They haven't even begun casting yet and I'm a little worried =\ What if we all missed it?

Yeah, I think we did, guys... At ComiCon, Shyamalan said he was already at work on the movie, so.....i don't know what that entails, but if it's coming out in 2008, then he MUST be working on it, right? I think there wern't really open auditions.

But didn't Shyamalan say that he wanted unknown actors to play the parts? How could he not have had open auditions? I'm gonna be sooo devastated if we missed auditions =(

I don't have a southern accent either. "hahahahaha

hey everyone sounds like we all really want to be in this up comming film. GOODLUCK to EVERYONE. still don't know when the auditions are going to be but PLEASE if some one finds out let us ALL know

i really need to know if there are still auditions, i heard he was in new zealand looking for actors aswell. but no one knows for real. i wanna be sokka, because im funny and i look jus like him. or zuko. i may not get those parts because im 6'1 and not 5'8. so i could just be a bender. fire,water and earth. i really need some info! and why the hell did they let THAT director control such a master piece of a cartoon. he'll kill it. he's already doing it now by not having a cast.

Yes I know just about everyone posts this, but it's my turn. I NEED to find out when auditions are! I'm getting so anxious! And that's fine if auditions for Book 1 are over. I would absolutely love to be Azula! And on another note... Hare... Mr. M. Night has made some bad movies... but he's also made some amazing ones! So back off! It's not nice!

wait Ladytigereyes are u saying that they already had the auditions for Book 1????? please clarify thanks ^^

okay i know this commet is kinda late compared to the others. BUT IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS FOR AUDITIONS email me at base2ball2boy2@yahoo.com, please please please please. and i quote "Water tribe!"

Man its been so long that we havnt known anythin!!!!!! Its grinding my nerves!!!!!!ohwell...... Hey have u guys seen day of black? I cant belive Ursa and Suki r still alive YAAAAAAAAAA maybe, if they go up to the 3rd season in one o fthe movies then when i audition for Suki Ill have a longer part!!!!!!!

Also i cant wait till auditions all the info on where or when still hasnt been posted and i wish theyd hurry up and do it cuz i need to know!!!! Im thinkin of auditioning for Azula,Suki, or Princess Yue(surprise surprise):) so what r u thinkin of auditioning for Prayer Girl which ever it is good luck to ya. Please any info u guys get and good luck!:) -YueIsAwesome

All I know is that he is releasing another movie in 2008 (june) called the happening with mark wahlberg. it would be difficult to then complete a film, casting and all, and release it in the same year! my assumption is that it is going to be coming out later... at least i hope, cause i want to audition too!!!!!!!!!

ok soo.... according to mnightfans.com shyamalan is scouting large buildings in Philly for soundstages that he might need in the summer of 2008. and there is a rumor that shooting is going to start in august of 2008. So i don't think that auditions have been held yet and plus (like someone said earlier) how is he supposed to have unknown actors if he doesn't hold open auditions?? so you guys just keep ur ears peeled for new developments. I have some other leads that i'm digging into and i'll report back if any of them prove succesful.

OMG, Philly? I live by Philly I heard that JT Austin or whatever was gonna play aang....I WANNABE KATARA!! It'd be so awesome!! WHEN WHEN WHEN!!?????????????????????????

Philly is in Pennsylvania, so it's comparatively close... If, you know, you're comparing it to California. Naw, just kidding. In all fairness, I live right near philly, (about an hour away) and if you were to ask me where Michigan is I couldn't tell ya. I just cheated and looked at a map, and it's not too far, but you have to get through ohio and then all the way to the other side of pennsylvania.

Just to clarify...the whole trilogy will take six years, so that means that it will probably take about 2 years for each Book. Which also means auditions for Book 1 :Water outta be real soon or past . Wouldn't it be so cool to be in that movie though? They are actually filming in Alaska. I've ALWAYS wanted to go to Alaska! Please post any news ASAP!

So, I too like many others am desperately searching for audition information, crossing my fingers that they cast a whole bunch of no-name actors in this. Since there seems to be a lot of questions over whether or not we missed auditions and didn't know it, I would like to point out that the Avatar movies is not mentioned anywhere on the IMDB website. If it had been cast, then the cast list would be posted there. Also does anyone know if they plan on making all movies through to the last season? I look the part to play either Zuko or Jet, but at age 19, i look a little old to play anything but season 3 characters.

I hear they will start filming this august...yup, i'm pretty sure we haven't missed the auditions.

I want to tryout for Toph or katara or azula or suki but mostly Toph but i am probably to old so there you have it YueIsAwesome and good luck to you to. I live in oregon (Waaa) I just saw the 12 episode in the book fire. WOW!!!!!!!! what did all of you guys think of that? I have never seen Katara so mad before it was like she was a different person!!!!! I love the look on Zuko face when they finaly let him in. it was sooooooooo cute!!!!!!!!! I agree with you undiscovered if he wants to have a no name then where is all of the info?

I believe in Zutara! http://www.freewebs.com/zutarachick/index.htm

Here's my explaination: http://www.livevideo.com/video/A113321146C34905B32CAFDF5DC400CC/wat-spoilers-apologize-zutar.aspx Zuko deserved that. Katara and Zuko connected on a level deeper than any two people have ever connected on the show. In a matter of minutes, they went from bitter enemies to completely understanding each other's pain, and almost being healed from it. What can I say --breaking deep connections with another person is painful. And on top of that pain, Katara had to deal with the Avatar almost dying. So many emotions tangled up inside of her --she tryed to let some of them out with Hakoda ("I understand why you left, I really do, so why do I feel this way? I'm so sad and confused...and HURT.". We expected emotions to fly once they met up again. No news on auditions yet. Shyamalan is just finishing up another movie: the Happening, so he probably won't start this big project until he is finished with that. But I really don't think that we've missed the auditions, besides, he clearly said that he wants no-name actors and actresses, and so if he's truly looking for that than there should be a public notice about auditions. And also if the cast was already chosen, there would be a list somewhere on the internet, and there is none to be found. Hey have you guys heard about the Avatar Fandom Olympics?

That's great Prayer Girl! I don't know about Toph and Aang, but I adore Zutara as a couple, and I think that their relationship would bring a lot of peace to a really war-torn world. About the Olympics, According to the TV.com forums, "Dongbufeng.net is organizing their "Avatar Fandom Olympics", where fandom teams and fansite teams all compete against eachother for the glory of all avatards. Any owner of a fansite can make a team ((As long as there are at least 15 people and a maximum of 25)) or the fandom can get together and make a team of their own that can be composed of 10-15 fans who are committed to participating. "The Olympics will begin on January 18th and conclude around February 15th. This timing does not take into account the return of the show in the US. It may return sooner than February 15th, or later, we do not know at this time. Fandom teams will participate in similar events as the sites, but will not compete against the sites, only against other fandom teams. Each person can only join one team. If you are on a fansite team, you can't be on a fandom team, and vice versa." "Throughout the weeks there will be various activities for the teams to participate in. Art, writing, video and scavenger hunt activities will occupy most of the time. There will also be occassional live events, such as trivia, being held during the month-long event; however not all members of a team will be required to be there due to time zone differences, etc." To submit your site or a fandom team, please send a list of the members who are participating on your team((as long as they meet the minimum and maximum requirements))ready please email your teams to webmaster@avatarolympics.net This should be a really awesome, and fun event. Everyone should really consider participating in these games. The base of operations will be [link] . Check there for full details on everything within the coming weeks." SHARE YOUR CRAZY-AMAZING AVATAR SKILLS AND WISDOM!! <3 And if you can't find a team to join, I've joined on the Blue Spirit Gal team. BlueSpiritGal is an awesome Avatar fansite.

Go to the forums to register (it's free and then you can also talk to a bunch of other Avatar fans).

Hay Amy i checked out your site it was cool! I liked it!!! Have any of you guys herd of the Zutara story Dying to Survive I have read some of it and i really like it you guys should check it out. it is on the site Deviant art.com

Hello again... I know this is really off topic, but I noticed that prayer girl mentioned deviantart.com, and I wanted to plug an artist on there. It's MostAcidic and he's really good. I know that this is not what the comments are supposed to be about, but I like to put in a good word for him any chance I get, and if you're going to be on the site anyway, his page is really worth checking out. You can just go to http://www.mostacidic.deviantart.com and it should take you there. Again, sorry for being off topic. OH! also (again, if you're going to be there anyway) you should also check out canadiansilver. He's good too, but he's a photographer. (As opposed to an illustrator like mostacidic)

Hm, I'm afriad I haven't heard anything at all about when/where. If they are open auditions I'm guessing he will go to all of the big cities: New York, Toronto, etc. I'm in Canada so I'll also probably have to travel to audition. Hopefully not too far though. I'm 16 and want to play Katara. For Zuko or Jet....hmm.....I don't know what's he's looking for but I would think anywhere from 16-20 (or even older than 20 if you still have the spirit of 'youth' in you But, until we hear more, everything is pretty much guesswork.

I saw it on http://www.avatarchapters.com . The next two episodes are called the Boiling Lake Part 1 and 2.

I agree. So what is everyone's favourite episode(s) so far? Mine are the Guru, the Swamp, the Crossroads of Destiny, the Headband, the Firebending Masters, Seige of the North...

i would say my fav eps. are (not in order) The Headband,The Seige of the North Part One and Two, FireBending Masters,The Waterbending Master,Cross Roads of Destiny, and The Western Air Temple I found out that episodes 315-320 arnt airing till april o rmay cuz the creators are taking a break for the movie. -YueIsAwesome P.S. I saw fire bending masters by googling and i just happened to fall upon it

Thank you Amy and Prayer Girl for your comments about my last question. (:

Hey Yue i have an idea of how your brother saw the next episode the fire bending masters you just have to type in Avatar: the last airbender season 3 episode 13 on google and just check every thing you see until you find it that is what i did.

i meant the live action movie we're talkin 'bout and thanks for the help!yea april and may are far away:( i hope the post wuz fake but i highly dout it they need time off for the movie -ill post soon -YueIsAwesome

well, while we r waitin' for info on the movie auditions i hav a couple questions -wuts ur guy's fav. season so far? -wut are ur 3 least fav. charactors? -wuts ur fav element? -whos ur fav. bad guy?(not counting zuko)no offense to zuko or anything but i never really hav considered him a bad guy...he has always had good in him post me back plz ~YueIsAwesome

actually i already watched the fire bending masters episode. i'm talking about the next one after that. i'm sure they already recorded it and can put it out for all to watch. is there anyplace that we can see those next ones?? it says on that website that the next episode is comming out on the 25th thats in 4 days, i can wait i guess if there isn't anyplace to see it b4 the 25th. i don't have a favorite season. there is something i like with all of them. i really like watching every training episode like "sakka's master" "the woarrior of kyoshi" or when aang learns earth bending from toph and the ones with a big battle like the episode "the earth King" and the ones where you learn somthing about each character, maybe about their past like the episode "tales of ba sing se" or "the beach." so really i don't have a favorite season. my 3 least favorite characters are that guy who was the teacher of toph who say he is keeping her at the beginning level. toph's dad just cuz he is unreasonable, and i think thats it lol... i like the air element the most also but each element has something awsome. my favorite bad guy is ty lee and mai amy u really don't like aang and katara??

Oh no! I meant that my FAVOURITE characters are those three. Ha, read the question wrong, sorry! My LEAST fav characters are Mai, Ozai, and Sozin. Sorry sorry sorry! Aang, Katara, and Guru Pathik are my FAVOURITE characters! I love Aang to death, seriously, he is my all-time favourite character. I love that he's so happy-go-lucky and optimistic and playful -- he is my hero! He handles stressful situations really well (except for in Nightmares and Daydreams), and well, he's the most amazing airbender ever....and....and...he's VEGETARIAN too, so that really touches my heart. The Boiling Lake prt 1 and 2 are definetely not out yet. YTV (in Canada) is way ahead of Nickelodean in the US and has played everything up to the Boiling Lake. Therefore, every friday we are just WAITING WAITING WAITING to see if they'll play a new one (we have YTV) but for the past couple weeks they've been just re-runs. So we'll see what it's like this friday. If it does play, then it will be on the internet shortly afterward.

Ok guys my answers are -Totaly season 3 -My least fav. are Ozai, Azula and Mai -Water All the way no questions asked -My fav. people are Katara, Zuko, and Toph -My fav. bad guy is Tai Lee kus she not so bad. Hey guys if you have seen the episode where Zuko joins them what is your favorite part. Mine is when Zuko is talking to the frog. Also what is your fav. part in the episdoe after that Mine is when Zuko's "present of fire" goes out.

OH i didn't say who are my favoite characters. i would have to say aang of corse for his positive character (most of the time) and i like his new outfit, i think its better than his first one toph cuz she is awsome earth bender and the only metal bender so far The Best!! honestly after seeing her and aang take down most of the earth benders when they were trying to see the earth king, i thought they could make a 2 people army against the fire kingdom. zuko for his character and what he has been through to realize who he really is and his ability to do good and finally the uncle for always trying to bring the good out of zuko and other people like in the episode "tales of ba sing se" and trainning him. for his "words of wisdom" and he made an awsome come back, he had become stronger trainning in that cell without any fire benders knowing. impressive. i know everyone is putting at least 3 characters but i have 4

hehe lol! i liked those parts too, amy. I also liked these quotes ~Sokka:"Oh Hurray! After a lifetime of evil, atleast he didnt add animal cruelty to the list!"(the way sokka said it was just so funny to me! ~Katara:"You're right TOph.Let's go find him and give him a medal!..the not as big of a jerk as you could've been award!" ~i really like zuko but when they cut him down, just the way they say it is so funny! ~i didnt really like how katara was acting in the end she was all scary and murderous.. ill post later ~YueIsAwesome

Does anyone know, if there is any possibility for global casting calls....? Cause Im living in germany x,DD Anyway, I would spend my last money for a flight to america, if a have to! I think I would make a pretty cute Ty Lee *hihi* I dont know if the problem of wathcing the new episodes was solved alreday... In case it was not, I watch them here ^^; http://www.freewebs.com/allavatarhome/episodes4145.htm And its the 26th already... did I miss something or is b3 ep14 airing another date? ~greetz Me

Yah that website http://www.avatarchapters.com said chapter 14 is coming out on the 25 but it didn't. maybe it really is coming out sometime in april or may. man thats long.

oops lol sorry for the double comment. the first one said it didn't go through but i guess it did.

Maybe next week it will be on YTV. They played the Painted Lady over again this week. And it will be online soon after it airs on YTV. I have the feeling that Nickelodean got a little annoyed that YTV was so far ahead of them on their own show -- Avatar. So YTV has to wait for Nick to catch up. I don't think it will take all the way until APRIL (I don't know if I can wait that long), but Avatar is so unpredictable....Nick hasn't even played the Western Air Temple yet, have they? Hm, they better get up off of their lazy bums coz some of us Avatar fans CANNOT WAIT ONE MORE WEEK!! Like me! Avatar is such a big part of my life and I can't wait to see what happens! But at the same time, I don't want it to be over. Oh it will be so depressing once Avatar is over....nothing to look forward too....

Well, i dont know either how to post Fanfics on DA but if you manage it, i will read xD~ It really sounds interesting and exciting, though I like Kataang better than Zutara ^^; Anyway, youve got a great writing-style =3 @Amy: I feel the same way as you do! TT________TT i dont want avatar to and and on the other hand I want- no, I NEED to know what happens next so badly! By the way, Im really worried about the new members of team avatar... do you think anyone will die? I mean in the last really great fights they lost people (omg I was SO crying when they had to leave Jet behind... not to mention the death of Yue Q____Q) and now Im scared!

i KNOW i cried when yue died and had a sad feeling in my gut when jet did, but i really need to know what happened to Suki!!!! wow prayer girl im a writer too, and want to b a writer when i grow up. from one writer to another i give u two thumbs up! that was awesome from the beginning i was on the edge of my seat WRITE MORE WRITE MORE!!!!!!PRETTY PRETTY PLZ! hehe lol ~YueIsAwesome PS about the whole ending thing i think they should make a 4th season or at least an epiloge of how each characters life turned out, ya know like if couples have a baby and in the end of the trilidgy they should have either kataang or zutara have a watertribe baby and it be the next avatar although aang would have to die then...

woooh, you guys are really thinking ahead for avatar. talking about babies already and who should be with who...slow down hehe. they are still teens here and they still have to take care of the fire lord!!. but it sounds really cool what ideas u guys are comming up with. on the subject of IF there is anyone that is going to die..for me i think the only ones that would make sense to end up dieing is aang or uncle iroh. my thinking is that aang, since he is the main guy might sacrifice his life in the process of saving the world. uncle iroh maybe for aang and zuko's sake, but mostly zuko. now this one i don't think they will do but if they wanted to i think that katarra and sokka's father might die, but this one is mostly for sokka's sake. i think if his father dies this will bring sokka to the leadership postion he was trying to do at the invasion episodes. he will be like his father. but i really don't think they will do that. on the other hand maybe there is just going to be a big battle that the creators will do and make it look like main characters, during the battle, die but after the final battle it shows that everyone made it through. anyway those are my thoughts.

Should i just post the chapters on here?

whoa did the sight change...............its all blue instead of red........or is it just my computer.....

Ps, I LOVE that face!

the first face. i don't know how yoe post the smilly faces but apperantly i did. 1 yes i ues google and 2 i don't know what you are talking about. ^0^

I know what that is I just didn't recognize the abbrveiation of it. Thax temsik. I like that game. I have the whole prologue for you guys. Enjoy!! ^0^ Please read the begining again. Katara awoke to crying in the middle of the night and quietly got out of bed so not to wake Zuko up. Poor Mizumi probably had another nightmare. This would be the fourth night in a row that their sweet daughter had a crying fit. Katara knew this was not normal for Mizumi was 12 years old and far past having childish dreams. As Katara rounded the corner to Mizumi’s room, she heard a crash and something she knew to be the sound of silent struggling. Katara broke into a run and came face to face with a very large figure of what seemed to be a man. Instantly she attacked the stranger in the week points Tai Lee had taught her, it was her only defense since she left her flask on the night table in her Zuko’s room. Once the figure was out the way, she bolted to her daughter and held Mizumi tightly then screamed “ZUKO!!” “ZUKO!!” immediately Zuko sat up in bed and through off his covers. That was Katara’s voice! Something must be wrong. Zuko grabbed the flask of water and ran to where his wife was yelling for him. He turned the corner and was knocked off his feet onto his back. He then saw a large figure of a man running the opposite direction. “ZUKO?! GUARDS?! SOMEBODY STOP THAT MAN!!” Once the fire lord heard Katara say this he jumped to his feet and shot a fire blast at the man. The figure was so large that he had trouble turning the corner and got hit in the back by the blast. The man tumbled forward and laid still on the hard metal floor. Zuko then proceeded toward the man and held him down with his, fist ready to fire, if he tried to get up and leave. The fire bender heard steps behind him and did not release the man from his hold, but turned his head to see his wife and daughter standing together side by side behind him. Katara had her hand on Mizumi’s shoulder. Zuko then herd the man stir and turned his head to the man who was trying to stand, but Zuko held him tight with his fist and said to him “Why did you attack my daughter?!!” The man did not speak. “ANSWER ME!!” Boomed Zuko anger filling his face and his fist. The hot flame of his fist licked the man’s back and the figure yelped in pain. At that point there were guards surrounding them. Zuko was so angry he had not noticed there arrival. The man shrieked with pain and Zuko removed the fire from his fist. …………………………… Zuko was still holding the man that had attacked their daughter and Katara wondered if she should heal the man. When the fire lord had arrived to her call she saw him drop her flask of water and run after the man. Katara had picked it up and looked at Mizumi for possible placeless where the man might have hurt her. She appeared okay at first glance in the darkness. “Take him make sure you get the info out of him.” Her husband spoke with such authority she really saw the fire lord and not her Zuko. Katara took Mizumi’s hand and guided them to Zuko. “What did he do to you two?” Asked Zuko as they walked up to him. Katara was pulled into her husband’s embrace and did not struggle but welcomed the comfort openly. Mizumi let go of Katara’s hand and said simply “Nothing.” Katara and Zuko looked at each other and Katara said “What do you mean ‘nothing’ I saw him in your room!” As Katara said ‘him’ she gestured to the now limp with pain, body of the intruder. “I also heard struggling in your room! How can that be ‘nothing’?” “I don’t know when he came into my room I was scared and started to cry. But then he came at me and chased me around my room he said to me ‘come with me and we won’t hurt you or your family’ then the man fell and I saw mom run into my room I was so scared daddy.” As Mizumi spoke she started to cry then Katara and Zuko opened their arms to her and she run into the comfort they created for her. “Now, now there, there Mizumi, everything will be alright no one can hurt us. We are surrounded by guards and your father and I are master water and master fire benders you put us into the same room and the sparks start flying. Not to mention the fact that Aang and Toph and their son are but a message away.” At her mother’s words Katara saw Mizumi relax and then Zuko spoke up “Your mother is right honey, we can always handle anything. I mean Aang, Toph, Sokka, your mother and I fought my father and defeated him. I think we can handle anything that they throw at us. And on that note I think we should go to bed now.” As he said this he looked Katara and she yawned. “Mommy, daddy can I sleep with you for the rest of the night?” Mizumi spoke so quietly Katara had hardly heard her when Zuko said “Of course you can. I can sleep on the couch.”

I am very sad now. Here's an update about the audition status. happyelectrons says, "well I do know they're in New York and started sometime in December. They were casting for Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Yue. They are currently only seeing people with agents but it's very open to whatever race and dialect (i believe). they have held some callbacks from what i've gathered but i don't know if any additional decisions have been made. Just last week in imdbpro it listed jonathan nyugen as Aang but it was taken off a couple days ago so i don't know what is to made about that. So if you have an agent let them know about it otherwise i don't know if it's going to happen. also jonathan nyugen is 17 so they are being leniant on the ages. Good luck to all wishing to audition." and Dr Malcom Crowe says, "I was reading on Distant Horizon today, and supposedly Greg Baldwin (current voice of Iroh) stated the following: 'And now...if I may...I'd like to share an "Avatar" story. I was unloading groceries in front of my house the other day and my neighbor's kid (probably 19 - 20 years old) flagged me down. He is...as are so many in this strange corner of the world...an actor. He'd just been called back for the role of Sokka in the live-action "Avatar" movie. Talk about small world! We laughed about Iroh and Sokka living next door to each other. Only in LA!' ."

Good job Prayer Girl, I really like your writing!

I have my new chapter for you guys enjoy! ^o^ CHAPTER 2 “Well who wants to start?” as he said this Zuko looked around the room for volunteers. “I guess I’ll start.” Sokka spoke as he adjusted him self in his seat. “In both of the Water Tribes everything is good and peaceful. The king up north said to say hi. So ‘hi’ and that about covers it. Oh yeah I almost forgot to tell you we have four new apprentices. Two of them can Waterbend and the other two are learning swords from me!” Zuko felt his wife scoot closer to him and then she said “That’s great Sokka I am glad to hear it. How about you, Suki?” Katara turned her head and addressed his brother-in-law’s wife. “Everything is good with me, but Sokka and I are going to have another baby!” she practically screamed the last word and silence fell on every one. Then was broken when all of the girls got up and screamed together. They all rushed to Suki’s side and started hounding her about it. “It doesn’t take much to excite them does it?” said Shiu on the verge of exploding with laughter. Zuko could not hold it in either. He glanced at the men and they all started to explode with laughter. While the girls were busy with Suki he turned toward Aang and said “Anything new?” The Avatar shook his and said “Not in the airbending world,” Aang jerked his head toward Toph “but in the Earth kingdom there is big news.” “Really like what?” said Sokka adding “Oh I know you finally got rid of the Dai Lee.” “Well that is part of it…” “Oh are you kidding me mom? Your that far along and you never told me?!” that was Mei Ling’s voice but Zuko shook his back to where Aang was speaking. “…Haru and his father did get rid of the Dai Lee, but they started something new called the ‘Protectors’. It is a group similar to the Dai Lee, but they are only loyal to the Earth Kingdom king. Which brings us to the next idem on the agenda.” Aang looked around at Toph and the group of girls broke up and went back to their husbands. Katara came back to him and Zuko felt control over his inner flame again. When ever he was not with her he had always felt a little uncontrollable. “As I was saying…” Aang paused and swallowed as if it cased him pain to speak. “The Earth king has passed away.” Gasps of surprises filled the room. Then Shiu spoke up “The Earth King called mom to his bed and said ‘since I have no living relatives I give the crown to you, Toph Bei fong wife of the Avatar, my loyal assistant and good friend. I know you will rule well. Good luck.’ Then he passed away.” Shiu lowered his head and there was a moment of silence for the Earth King. “That’s wonderful and terrible at the same time. I’m happy for you Toph, but did I here Aang say ‘Haru and his father’ what does Haru and Tairoh have to do with anything?” Katara said breaking the silence. “Well when the Earth king’s funeral was over I called Haru and Tairoh to come and straiten out the Dai Lee. They have done a wonderful job and no one is afraid of them any more. It is hard running a country. Now I know why your father was so crazy.” Toph finished what she was saying and gestured to Zuko. “I never thought of it like that, Toph. But my father was crazy before that.” they all laughed and when it was quite again Zuko started to speak once more. “Now I guess it is our turn.” he took a deep breath, looked down at Katara then stated “Mizumi was attacked last night.” …………………………… “What?!” Katara turned her head to see Shiu. He was sitting next to his mother and father and she had to try hard to compress a giggle that was leaking to the surface. She had notice that the young airbender had taken a liking to their daughter as of late. “Yes and we don’t know why.” she answered him with a curt nod then looked at her daughter. Mizumi made eye contact with her then said “He was a big man and when he attacked me he said ‘come with me and we won’t hurt you or your family’ at the time I was so scared I did not think anything of it, but if you listen to what he said, he said ‘we won’t hurt you or your family’ which means that he is not alone.” her daughter said this and everyone including her self was surprised by this. Katara had not thought of that before. He did say ‘we’ instead of ‘I’. “Why would he have attacked you Mizumi?” Mei Ling spoke to her best friend and Katara could tell that she was worried. Then again who wasn’t? Just as she was about to say something to comfort Mei Ling (though she her self did not know what) the door to the camber opened and a young women burst in. “My lord,” she said breathlessly. It was Kizan a young servant girl who had befriend Katara in her early years at the palace. “the prisoner has caused quite a lot of trouble he is demanding to see Lady Katara at once. He is holding a prison guard hostage sir. He is threatening to kill my husband fire lord Zuko, please come quick!” Kizan burst into tears and fell to the floor in exhaustion and Katara ran to help her up. She held on to Kizan’s arms and hoisted her up. Kizan’s legs were so weak she could not stand. So she sat down with Katara’s help. “Please, My Lady help him he is all I have left.” She sobbed into Katara’s arms as Katara said “Don’t worry I won’t let him hurt your husband I will go right now.” Kizan looked into Katara’s eyes and said “Thank you so much My Lady! Thank you!” she was still sobbing in Katara’s arms when she said this. Then Zuko boomed “NO! ABSOLUTLY NOT!” Kizan was still crying when Mizumi walked up to them and took Kizan from her. “I will not have you going any where near that man! If he is that dangerous with the guards then he will surely kill you, Katara!” The fire lord walked up to her and knelt down so that their eyes were level. His golden eyes piercing into her blue and she was lost in aw at his intensity. “I don’t want to lose you Katara. It would kill me if something happened to you.” Zuko finished with kissing her on the lips and pulled her tight in his arms. “It’s okay Kizan,” Mizumi was speaking to Kizan behind them. “we’ll get your husband back.” The young waterbender patted her head to comfort her. “Zuko,” said Katara “did you really think I would go in there without you?” she held his gaze and he visibly relaxed. The Fire lord sighed saying “I know, It just scares me when your in danger.” Katara shook her head, looked at her daughter and Kizan then said “Fire lord,” she shifted her head to hold his golden gaze for one more second then kissed him tenderly on the lips. “what makes you think that Kizan would feel any different about her husband? We have to help them.” “Fire lady I know you are right.” They both stood up and walked over to the table. Zuko turned to Mizumi and said “Mizumi I want you to stay here. Your mother and I will go in alone.” Mizumi nodded her head and helped Kizan stand. She walked over to them then sat down next to Shiu. An unconscious reaction. “Zuko are you sure you want to go alone? I mean we would help you guys with this intruder.” Aang spoke ‘intruder’ with some pain. He did not like the fact that she was in danger. “No thank you Aang we can handle it.” he turned to face Kizan, “Lets go Kizan.”

Girl friend I am all over it! I have my new cahpter for you! Here you go! Enjoy!!! ^o^ CHAPTER 3 Katara speed walked with Zuko at her side and Kizan at the front. They had left the palace behind and were now walking with purpose to the high security cell where the man was being held. As Kizan opened the door for them there was a large roar and Katara felt small and insignificant. She clung to Zuko like a frightened child holding on to their mother. The roar was heard again and she could make out words, “WHY AM I STILL WAITTING FOR THAT WATER TRIBE TRAMP!?” they said. Katara was outraged! All her fear was warped into anger. She felt Zuko’s temperature rise and for once she was going to allow his anger to explode. “IF THAT WENCH ISN’T IN HERE IN 5 SECONDS I WILL STRANGLE THIS MAN TO DEATH!” Kizan bolted in front of them and Katara and Zuko ran after her. “…1...” the man counted. “…2...” Kizan disappeared around the next corner, “…3...” Katara and Zuko veered left down the same corridor. “…4...” Kizan was in the room. “…5. THAT IS THE LAST STRW, THIS MAN DIES!” Katara heard Kizan scream “PLEASE! NO! THEY ARE COMING! THEY ARE COMING!” Katara and Zuko crossed the door frame and saw the man holding who was obviously Kizan’s husband in one hand. He was holding him by the neck above the ground. “I’M HERE!” Katara announced and all the faces turned to look at the Fire lord and lady. Kizan’s husband was struggling with the effort to breathe and she could see him gasping for breath. The large man did not let him go and Kizan fell to the floor in tears. The large man was not hurting Kizan's husbend, but refused to let him go. “Well it is about time!” The man looked Katara up and down with a sly smile like she was something that was being sold. This bothered her, but she did not waver from her position. “I want to talk to you alone, ‘My lady’” He said the last two words mockingly with disgust and resentment. Her anger flared she was not going to allow this kind of talk. Though Katara had never really gotten use to the ‘My lady’ bit she would never allow some one to sneer at her. “What ever you have to tell me you can say in front of my husband!” Katara growled. The words spat at him. She glanced at Zuko and he nodded in agreement with her statement. “You might think that, but what I have to say cannot be said in front of the Fire lord.” he bowed mockingly to Zuko. “ENOUGH! I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS KIND OF BEHAVEOR ANY MORE!” Zuko shouted and Katara nodded once to approve his words. The man did not even flinch and this bothered her. “I, THE GREAT DAIZA, DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE ORDERS FROM THE LIKES OF YOU!” The man shouted. “YOU, THE BANISHED PRINCE! YOU, WHO BETRAYED YOUR FATHER AND YOUR OWN KINGDOM! I DO NOT HAVE TO BOW OR LISTEN TO ANYTHING YOU SAY!!!” Katara sighed. Though she was outraged at the man’s blatant disrespect for her and Zuko, she did not want to stay here longer than she absolutely had to. “What is it you wish of me, Daiza?” “I wish for you to die.” He paused briefly to let what he said, sink in. Instinctively Katara reached for her flask of water. At the same time she moved into Zuko’s comforting embrace. “I wish for you to die so that ‘he’” Daiza motioned toward Zuko and made a disgusted face. “Knows how it fells to lose a loved one!” Zuko was on the verge of exploding and Katara was right there with him. The man held the Fire lord’s gaze for one more second then looked at her saying, “Now that you know about me I‘ll have to kill you. I tried to tell you last night that I just wanted you to come with me and that I would not hurt your family. But since you were ‘so’ smart I have to resort to plane ‘B’.” Katara and Zuko looked at each other. He did not attack her last night, but their daughter. He obviously thought it was Katara that he was talking to last night. “That is all that I am going to say. I will not answer anymore questions.” He turned deliberately away from them, dropped Kizan's husband, then walked into his cell and sat down. Katara and Zuko walked out of the room and headed for where the leader’s of the different nation’s met to talk. The gang would be there waiting for them. As they walked she wondered what Daiza had meant about a plan ‘B’. If he was not alone in this then could they expect some sort of a jail break for him? Katara heard a door open and realized that she was back in the nation’s chamber. She raised her head to see the anxious eyes of all her friends. “The man’s name is Daiza. He meant to attack Katara last night not Mizumi.” The waterbender looked up at her husband’s words and found them strangely comforting. She and Zuko took their places at the head of the table and recounted the scene that they had just witnessed. “But, you have felt the loss of a loved one dad.” Mizumi put in. “Mom told me that your mother, well my grandmother, Ursa, was banished and you thought that she was dead. You felt the loss of a loved one long ago for a long time.” she finished by shaking her head as if to deny her father’s pain. “Well,” This time Sokka spoke up “If that’s true, which it is, this Daiza wanted more than he was leading on. So if we take in account what he told you, he’s not alone in this desire to kill you Katara.” Her brother grimaced at the pain of the word. “Meaning that there are more out there. I doubt that he is high up in this ‘group’ because if he was he would not come him self, but send someone else. But all the same I think that you should have a strict watch on this guy, just in case he is valuable to them.” Sokka finished and put his arm around his wife to protect her from those harmful thoughts. “I agree and disagree with you Sokka.” Zuko spoke again this time looking Katara once in the eyes then looked at her brother. “I agree with everything but the part that he is not high up.” Sokka held his gaze. “He has skill. He snuck past all the guards and into Mizumi’s room,” Mizumi shuddered at the thought and Shiu moved a little closer. “with that kind of skill he would at least be ranked.” “That does make sense. But I am worried about how many people want to hurt you Katara.” Aang said with a look of sadness. “I mean when we destroyed Ozai every one that I could see was happy and joyful that their curl leader was gone and they had more freedom. Well everyone except Azula.” They were all quite for a moment when Toph said “AZULA!” This made every one jump. “She always hated you Katara. And you to Zuko.” Katara didn’t know what to say to that. Azula was in the high security tower were that man was being held. When her father died she was not exactly happy to say the absolute least. “Toph, Isn’t Azula in the high security tower.” Suki spoke addressing both Toph and Zuko. The firebender nodded once. “How could she get a uprising if she was combined in a high security tower all day? It has to be some one else.” No one spoke for at least a minute. “Well she does get to go out side once in a while….” Toph trailed off. She seamed intent on Azula then a smile rippled across her face. “Hey I know, take me to go talk to the guy ask him if he works for Azula and if he does I’ll know!” “That’s a great idea aunt Toph!” Mei Ling finally interjected. “You can tell with the vibrations!” She was sitting forward on her hands and knees. “What time should we do that?” Asked Shiu he liked the idea too. “Should we do it now?” He looked around the room and made eye contact with Zuko. “I think…” Zuko was thinking hard about this. Katara could tell he did not want to go back and she did not blame him. “we should go tomorrow, after breakfast.” The Fire lord let a smile crawl across his face and the whole room cheered. Katara was very happy too, but something just didn’t feel right. She felt like this would be the last time she ever saw her family happy and cheerful.

I have my new chapter for you guys.^o^ Enjoy! ps. This is my favorite chapter so far. And I think it will be your's Yue! ^o^ CHAPTER 4 Katara couldn’t sleep that night. She was just to restless. So quietly she got out of bed and slipped on her silk robe over her jimmies, then opened the door. She couldn’t think, so Katara went to the courtyard to bend. It was always easier to think when she was bending. Her mind was so peaceful. Zuko had offered a place to stay for everyone while they were in the Fire nation and naturally they all excepted. As she finally made it out to the courtyard she saw a little family of turtleducks on the water. She smiled to her self then bended some of the water out of the pond. (She was careful not to disturb the little family.) Her hands moved gently so that the water followed. Katara streamed the water and did different tricks with it. She closed her eyes and saw the water tribe village that she was raised in. She no longer felt sadness in remembering her old home, but happy memories. Of course from time to time she would miss the cool breezes of the ocean and the smell of the icy glaciers. The waterbender looked up at the moon and thought a silent thank you to Yue. She had been the moon spirit ever since she gave her life to save the world’s balance and the water bender’s ability to bend at the north pole all those years ago. Yue was so brave and Katara wondered, if she ever was faced with a similar same situation, if she could do the same thing Yue did. Katara let the water drop into the pool then looked up to Yue again. The moon shined and a young women floated down next to Katara. She was amazed. Katara was looking at Yue, the moon spirit. Yue’s clothes were blowing even though there was no wind. They had a spiritual quality about them. Her hair was as white as Katara remembered. Then she spoke “Hello Katara.” Yue’s eyes were smiling along with her beautiful face. All Katara could do was stare at her, dumbfounded. “You seemed very sad to me and I wanted to know if you were okay.” Yue’s brilliant face was worried. Then Katara finally took hold of her shock, at least enough to get a few words out. “Y-yeah. I’m okay.” Katara stuttered. She shook her head to gain control. “What is it like to be a spirit?” Katara was still starring at her when Yue answered “It has it’s ups and downs. Just like it would if I were still human. I’m glade that you are okay. Can I give you some advice?” Katara nodded. “‘live life to it’s fullest’ so that when you join the spirit world you have no regrets. Good night, My Fire nation lady.” Yue said with a bow to Katara. She lifted her face so that it was inches away from Katara’s when she finished by saying “Go to bed now.” Her smile had returned and she was laughing quietly. Katara closed her eyes to blink and the princess was gone. The waterbender looked around to see if she was still there then slapped her self on the forehead. “Of course Yue’s not here she was an allusion.” Katara spoke to her self and looked up at the moon again. She felt a sort of calm wash over her and realized that what she had seen was not an allusion or a figment of her imagination. No Yue was real. She came down from the moon to talk to Katara because they were friends and she was worried about her. Katara knelt down to the pond and watched the turtleducks for a few moments when one of them flipped over unexpectedly. The little baby started to cry and Katara picked it up then set it down right side up, next to it’s mom. The mother looked at Katara then bowed it’s head, turned and helped the one who had flipped over. Katara was sure she’d seen that wrong. Turtleducks don’t bow. “That was quite impressive My lady.” Katara bended the water out of the pond without thinking. She didn’t recognize that voice. So she was ready to fight. “Who’s there?” She demanded. Katara looked around, but could not see anything. “Oh don’t worry. He won’t hurt you… but I might.” Said a sickening familiar voice. Azula walked out of the dark hallway looking at Katara with hatred. Her terribly calm voice was hard to miss. Katara was to shocked to do anything about it, at the moment. “Daiza bring her to me!” Wasn’t Daiza was supposed to be in the high security tower as well as Azula? “What?!” Katara said demandingly “You two are supposed to in the high security tower! How did you get out?!” The last question had barley escaped her lips when Daiza was attacking her. For such a big man he was very fast. Wait, this couldn’t be Daiza, he was half his size! It had to be some one else. She shook the thought out of her head, her water was quickly depleting. The pond was only so big! “I know what you’re thinking.” Azula paused to give Katara a chance to respond but the waterbender was to concentrated on what she was doing. “You’re thinking ‘this can’t be Daiza. He’s to small’ but I assure you this is the real Daiza. The man that is in the cell right now is a fake. I knew he would get caught and there was no way I was going to send my faithful servant in to that place and cost me everything. He was just a peasant. I had my men offer hospitality to his family in exchange for him to put on a show for you and Zuzu. I told him if he ever wanted to see his family again he would do exactly what I told him to do. And he preformed perfectly.” Katara could not believe what she was hearing. How could Azula be so heartless? The turtleducks were all gone and so was the water. Katara was exhausted she only had one chance left. She had to run. After she water whipped the man she broke into a run, but did not get very far when he caught up with her and stopped her dead in her tracks. “Good night My lady” He said with a smile that gave her goose bumps. She tried to swing around but he caught her by the waist and held her there with so much force there was hardly anything she could do. He pulled out something from his pocket then shoved it down her throat. It was liquid and Katara refused to drink it, but as she spit it out some of it went down her esophagus and she slowly gave in to the force of the man unwillingly. The cool drink ran down the inside of her throat and she heard the man laugh. “Your coming with us,” He held her up and breathed into her ear (she had no control over her body to stop him) “Good night, beautiful.” Katara was sick. She forced her self to think ‘luckily he didn’t do anything to me….’ but then add distastefully ‘yet.’ Then she slipped into unconsciousness fearing what tomorrow would bring. …………………………… Mizumi woke in the morning with a good feeling about the day. They were going to ask Daiza who he as working for! She quickly got dressed and opened the door. Since the man Daiza was actually after her mother Mizumi had insisted that her father call off her two escorts. So when she opened the door she was not expecting to see a male looking back at her. Her second glance at the man in front of her made her heart skip a beat. It was Shiu! “Hi!” he said “Good morning your highness.” He bowed at her and she blushed. Mizumi had to work hard to compose her self before he raised his head. “Why don’t we stick to first name bases only, okay Shiu?” she said as she shut the door to her room. He smiled at her and said “Okay Mizumi. May I escort you to breakfast?” Shiu held out his hand and she took it tenderly. “Of course.” she answered him with a sly smile. They walked for a minute or two when Mizumi asked him “How did you sleep last night? I trust your stay was good.” She looked at him and he smiled at her showing his beautiful white teeth with his beautiful face. Mizumi blushed and looked away. “I slept like a baby. I had the weirdest dream last night though.” He scrunched his face to make it look like he was thinking hard. Mizumi giggled at him then answered “I had a good night’s sleep as well, but I don’t remember if I had any dreams though. What was yours about?” she asked him genially curious. “Well,” he looked away from her. Shiu turned to look at her again saying “It was… oh boy how do I start?” Mizumi waited for him patiently “Umm well Uncle Zuko and Aunt Katara were fighting.” “That’s kind of hard to believe. Sorry go on.” Mizumi spoke to him and made a movement to encourage him and it seemed to work. “They were fighting about me (and if I remember correctly) umm never mind.” He finished quickly and this seemed suspicious to her. “They were fighting about you and who, Shiu?” Mizumi narrowed her eyes. “It’s nothing Mizumi. Just forget I ever said anything.” “Shiu just tell me.” “No it’s okay.” “Shiu!” “No!” “SHIU!” “NO!” They were just rounding the corner and Mizumi had, had it. She grabbed him by the collar and pushed against the wall just barley out of sight of every one in the dinning hall. “You’re going to tell me, because I have this sinking feeling it’s about me.” There was a moments pause when she heard, “Woho right on, Mizumi!” Mizumi’s face turned pink and she looked to see her Uncle Sokka standing next to them with a thumbs up sign. “About time if you ask me.” “Uncle Sokka what are you doing here?!” She demanded horrified. Shiu was next to her just as pink and probably just and willing to die as she was. “Well I came to have some breakfast then saw you disappear around the corner so I wanted to make everything was okay. But apparently it was better then I anticipated.” “Ugh!” Mizumi smacked herself on her forehead and heard Shiu do the same. “Don’t worry you two love birds I won’t tell a soul.” Sokka promised then turned around and walked away. “‘Love birds!’” Mizumi mimicked sick. How could this get any worse? “Hey, Suki guess what I just saw!” “Uncle Sokka!!” This day had so much promise. Why did have to turn out this way?

I have another awesome chapter for you guys. Enjoy! ^o^ ps. I know I did. CHAPTER 5 When Zuko steeped into the dinning hall he found that everyone, but his wife and daughter, were there. When he got up this morning Katara was not next to him. He knew this because every morning she would kiss him lightly on the lips to wake him up. (That was his favorite part of the day.) This was not like Katara she was such a morning person. Like his dearly departed uncle, Uncle Iroh. Fire Lord Iroh had ruled the Fire nation for 18 wonderful years before he passed away 2 years ago. Katara and the whole gang had always loved him too, so maybe she was just visiting his grave. Thinking of his uncle made Zuko shed tears so he quickly wiped them away. His uncle was more a father to him then his real father had ever thought to be. (Not that Ozai ever did.) The Fire Lord saw his brother-in-law cross the room to the opposite corner him and Zuko wondered what he was doing. Zuko walked to his seat at the head of the table and watched his guests assemble in theirs. Aang and Toph sat next to each other on his left. Down one seat next to Toph was supposed to be her son. “I wonder where Shiu is.” Zuko thought to himself. Sokka and Suki sat on his right and Mei Ling was next to her mother. “…Lovebirds, I won’t tell a soul.” Zuko heard Sokka speaking and watched him walk away from the corner. “Hey, Suki guess what I just saw.” “Uncle Sokka!” The firebender heard his daughter’s voice and turned to look at her. She walked out of the corner Sokka was just talking to. Zuko made a face. Sokka couldn’t have been talking about Mizumi, could he? Then, as if it was an answered prayer, Mizumi was followed by Shiu. Both their faces were crimson red. Zuko sighed and rolled his eyes. His daughter walked over to him then sat down on his right. “Umm…good morning dad.” She said with a half smile. Mizumi put her hands in her sleeves just like his uncle had done. “What was that all about?” He asked her. She shrugged. “Mizumi, what was Sokka talking about?” She did not make eye contact, but answered reluctantly “Well, Shiu and I were walking down to breakfast…and umm…we had an argument.” She deliberately stopped talking. Not a good sign. “And?” He urged her. “Well I got mad…” Mizumi trailed off. “And?” Zuko spoke, a little agitated. He could tell she was uncomfortable and did not like to make her feel that way, but his fatherly instincts would not let it go. “And…” “And!?” He said a little bit more agitated. “LOOK, I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT OKAY.” She finally met his eyes and they were full of embarrassment. Zuko was a little taken a back by this. He hadn’t expected this kind of hostility for a simple question. “Well why not?” He said with playful anger. “I just feel really uncomfortable talking to you about this kind of situation.” She said holding herself. Zuko stood immediately looking down at her. His anger flaring. He was sure steam was escaping from his ears and his nose and that every one could see it. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN ‘THIS KIND OF SITUATION’?!” “UGH! DAD, THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT!!! UGHA!!!!” She said to him concealing her face from his. “Oh.” The Fire Lord said becoming calm again then sat down feeling as stupid as ever. “I wish Katara was here!” he said to himself. “Sorry Mizumi, I’m just…well…you see…umm…dads are very protective.” He sighed and looked around the room. Everyone was staring at them. “That’s no surprise.” Zuko said in his head again. The Fire Lord took another look around and everyone was here except Katara. His tummy was groaning and Katara would understand if they started without her. He signaled the servants to bring their food out and his plate was in front of him in record time. Zuko flagged down another servant and said “Have you seen my wife any where?” He hoped she was on her way. Zuko missed her so much. The servant shook his head “No, My Lord. I haven’t seen Lady Katara any where. Would you like me to round up a search party for her, Fire Lord Zuko?” This seemed like a good idea, but if Katara was just fine and she found out he sent a search party for her he would be in for an ear full. So instead he just shook his head against his longing for, and said “No, just keep a look out for her. And if you find her, inform me at once.” The man bowed “Yes Fire Lord.” Zuko watched the man leave then looked at his guests. “So how did every body sleep last night?” “I know I slept like a baby.” said Sokka. “Yeah and you sounded like one to.” Suki put in. They both laughed and for the first time Zuko felt jealous of them. Where was Katara! Through out the meal Zuko didn’t say much he just nodded when spoken to and shook his head at the appropriate times. “I’m stuffed! I couldn’t eat another bite! My complements to the chef.” said Toph putting her feet on the table and leaning back in her seat. She put her hands behind her head and pointed her finger in the direction of the kitchen. “Well I’m ready when ever you guys are.” A few minutes later Zuko stood up and gradually everyone joined him. “Are we ready to go?” He asked the group. They all looked around then nodded to him. “Then off we go.” …………………………… Katara awoke to something sweet smelling and smiled in her sleep then she realized what had happened the night before and the smile was gone. At this thought Katara sat strait up. She finally opened her eyes to see the man, Daiza sitting in the corner of the room. He had his arms and legs crossed and he was smiling at her. “Welcome back to the land of the living My Lady.” Katara groaned at the sound of unnaturally calm voice. The ground was not as hard as she had expected. It was soft and worm. She looked around and saw that she was in a room similar to her and Zuko’s room at the palace. “Wh-where am I?” She asked him, dazed. Katara held her head to steady herself. The man chuckled softly and it almost felt comforting. “You, My Lady, are not evening the Fire Nation any more.” Daiza uncrossed his legs. “Wh-what? Ugh… what’s the matter with me? Why do I feel so crummy? And why is the room spinning?” Katara held her face in her hands and feel back on to the soft surface. She stayed there groaning for a moment when she realized that she was on a bed. “I’m not going to tell you exactly where we are My Lady it would be against my orders. To answer your questions in order; question 1. Nothing is wrong with you, you’re just coming out of a… how should I put this simply, you’re coming out of a controlled coma. In other words the amount liquid that I gave you determines how ling you would be out. Question 2; you feel crummy because the amount of liquid I gave you would make you sick. Question 3; the room is spinning because the amount of carbon in the liquid would make you’re head spin. Anything else?” “Yeah…go jump off a bridge.” she snapped back at him, still holding her head. Katara sat back up and looked up at him. She lowered her hand then said “I demand to know what is going on right now.” Daiza uncrossed his arms and stood up. He walked over to her, knelt down and grabbed her head. She tried to fight him, but he was just to strong for her in her weakened state. He looked into her eyes and said “Sorry My Lady, but you no longer have the authority to demand such an answer.” Daiza pulled Katara’s hand to his lips and kissed her hand never once breaking eye contact. “You’re going to living with me, Lady Katara until Princess Azula gives me the command to kill you.” He smiled at her and she knew from that point on that no matter what she did, if Zuko never found her she was going to die by Daiza’s hands.

Hey guys I have my knew chapter for you! Enjoy! ^o^ CHAPTER 8 Mizumi missed her mother terribly. Even though she knew her mother was a live she couldn’t help but think bad thoughts. If you count the two days that her mother had been gone before, plus the three days since her family, her aunt Toph and uncle Aang left, it would be the total of five days! Toph had returned to the Earth Kingdom to over see the search for her mother and her aunt and uncle went with her. The Avatar went to search the four Air Nomad temples. They sent a message to the water tribes informing them of the new developments so that if they happened to see her mother they would know what to do. Mei Ling had stayed behind to help her look in the Fire Nation and Shiu had stayed behind at her request as well. The trio had just gotten out of a afternoon meeting with her father and the representatives of each of the cities in the Fire nation or more commonly known as, the nobles. They were on there way back the royal courtyard when a man came running up to them and bowed low in a hurry. “Lady Mizumi, honored guests. We have just received word that Lady Katara is not in earthier of the water tribes. Do you know where I might find Fire Lord Zuko, My Lady?” “Yes. I believe he is in his study.” Mizumi answered him. The man bowed once more before running off to her father’s study. She watched him go and once he was out of sight she turned back to her companions. As they started walking to the royal garden she said “I knew that mom would not be in earthier of the water tribes. Moms a waterbender! A war hero, the most powerful women in both of the tribes and the first women to learn how to fight with waterbending in the Northern Water Tribe. She would be the most recognizable person there! But still, half of me really wanted her to be there. I’m so scared for her. I just want her back.” Mizumi was about to hug herself when Shiu did it for her. She welcomed the comfort his friendship gave her. They turned the corner and saw the courtyard. Without thinking Mizumi ran forward to the pond. When she saw the garden she knew something was not right. Where were the turtleducks? As she neared the pond she saw the reason. The water was gone! Mizumi didn’t even hear footsteps behind her when she stood up. The waterbender heard a gasp in the rear of her and turned to see Mei Ling and Shiu standing behind her. “W-what happened here?” Mei Ling stuttered. “All the waters gone. And the turtleducks where did they go?!” The young women bent down to the pond and touched the rim. “Mizumi, do you know what happened here? Has the pond been empty since the last time we visited?” Shiu asked her as he gestured to Mei Ling and the pond. He walked up to stand next to her when she shook her head “No, it hasn’t.” “Look,” Mei Ling said as she walked towards to the tree that over looked the now empty pond. “there are slight burn marks on this tree.” She placed a hand on the spot where the tree was burned then lowered her hand and turned to her audience. She sighed then spook as if what she was about to say, was obvious “There was a battle.” “What?” Mizumi couldn’t help the word from escaping from her mouth. She exchanged glances with her best friends when Shiu piped up “Are you sure, Mei Ling?” The young women closed her eyes and nodded her head “I’m positive. My father taught me everything I know and he said that I am one of the best trackers in both of the tribes.” She then moved her gaze down to the ground and bent down. She touched the soft green grass “This grass has been damaged. There are cuts in the ground, some of this grass is sorter then the rest.” She stated as the young warrior moved her hand across the damaged ground. She then proceeded to contemplate what she saw. Mizumi watched her best friend with amazement when an idea struck her. “Mei Ling, how long ago was this battle?” She asked with haste. The women tracker did not look up from her work but answered “Umm I’d say about…” Mei Ling picked herself up and walked to the tree again. She ran her fingers across the charred parts of the tree. She rubbed her blackened fingers against each other then stated without looking up “six nights? There’s to little evidence to be sure, but I’m pretty positive.” Mizumi’s eyes widened “That’s about the same time that mom went missing.” The waterbender walked over to stand by Mei Ling. Shiu’s and Mei Ling’s eyes widened at this news and they both looked at each other. “Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.” Shiu held his hands up as he spoke then looked at her “Are you girls telling me that Fire Lady Katara was kidnapped in this very garden?” Mizumi and Mei Ling looked at each other, raised an eyebrow then chorused “Yes.” “She was kidnapped in this garden, the royal garden?” he asked again. “Yes.” Mizumi answered him a little agitated. “Are You sure Mei Ling?” “Yes Shiu, I’m sure as I’ll ever be.” The young airbender rubbed his forehead “That can’t be right. You have to be wrong.” He moved his arms in exasperated movements. “It is right and it’s not wrong. I already told you I’m not sure, but all the evidence points to it. All of the waters gone from the pond, the turtleducks are gone and they wouldn’t leave unless something serious happened. Not to mention the scorch marks on the tree and cuts in the ground. As much as I hate to admit it Lady Katara was kidnapped in the royal garden.” Mei Ling pointed out. “But that can’t be! This is the royal garden for Pete sake!” Shiu shouted while pointing to the ground. “Yes we know that Shiu. You have pointed that out like forty-five thousand times. Mei Lings right. Just get it through your head!” Mizumi said exasperated. “*sigh* I’m going to get your father Mizumi. I’ll be right back.” Mei Ling sped off with out another word and the Fire Nation princess just nodded her head. “You two don’t seem to understand this do you?” Shiu asked her through his hand. Mizumi rolled her eyes at the dense airbender “Oh no Shiu we understand, you’re the one who doesn’t seem to get it.” She gestured toward him then crossed her arms. He shook his head. “No Mizumi, I get that it was in the royal garden, but I don’t think you do.” Her arms loosened “What do you mean?” He walked up to her while closing his eyes he took a deep breath then let it out like it caused him pain. He was so much taller then her. She was just now noticing. When she looked into his blue-green eyes she felt her face flush. She always thought that he was cute, but until then she never really saw how truly handsome he was. His shoulder length black hair was tied half up half down. And he was wearing something that looked like a male version of his mother’s clothes. “What I mean is, that no buddy, but royal family members can come into this garden. Unless they invite someone. Meaning that your mom either invited someone that she thought was trust worthy or there are spies in the palace.” She gasped at this news and covered her mouth. When her hands lowered she spoke softly. “That, that can’t be.” “Well that’s the only explanation for it. So obviously, whoever kidnapped your mother knew there way around the palace or had a guide.” Shiu put his hands on her shoulders and lowered his gaze “I don’t know how they did it,” He looked into her eyes and she was speechless once again “but I promise that I will help you find your mother what ever the cost.” Mizumi looked at his face and felt hot tears falling down her cheeks. She tried to comfort him, but all she could choke out was “Shiu.” Despite her efforts, the tears were falling freely now and she couldn’t keep his gaze. So in a pathetic effort to shield her pitiful weeping the waterbender lowered her eyes. “It’s okay Shiu. You don’t have to. She’s not your mom. I do appreciate tha-” before she had a chance to finish she felt the light pressure of his lips against hers. Her eyes widened as she saw the airbender kiss her. Shiu pulled away from her and she felt the pain of disappointment stab her heart. Before she could think about what she was doing the princess launched herself at him and they both landed on the ground with her on top. Mizumi smacked her lips against his and smiled. It seemed the airbender welcomed the unexpected change and she wouldn’t have let him do anything different. She did not know how long they laid there, but when he finally pulled away from her she felt the pain come back. “Umm are we interrupting anything?” Mizumi and Shiu both turned there heads to see the Fire Lord and Mei Ling standing a little to the left, behind them. Mei Ling crossed her arms as she spoke. Mizumi and Shiu stood. The Fire Lord was walking with Mei Ling towards them “How long were you two standing there?” Mizumi asked. Mei Ling put on a board face and stated plainly “Long enough to see you pounce.” Mizumi’s face flushed fiercely. Her father looked at her then winked ever so slightly and she wondered why her father was not exploding at this moment. “Maybe it’s because he saw me jump onto Shiu and not the other way around.” Mizumi thought. “What was it you were saying Mei Ling?” her father asked. The young women looked at him then nodded. “Well as I was saying when we came to this court yard Mizumi ran forward to the pond. Until I came and saw it my self I did not realize that all the water was gone from the pond, sire.” They all headed to the pond and the Fire Lord bent down. “I see. The turtleducks are gone as well.” He then stood back up and closed his eyes saying “We’ll need to refill the pond so the turtle ducks can come home.” The Fire Lord waved his head and the attendant that had been following him came to his side. “Bring water to fill up this pond.” The young man bowed and said “Yes sire.” He then turned around and began walking away when Mizumi stopped him “Wait.” She held up her head and the man looked at the Fire Lord for permission. The Firebender simply nodded. “Allow me, dad.” She smiled brightly at him and he just raised an eyebrow. “Waterbender, remember?” She laughed. “Okay. But how will you-” She cut him off with a ‘shh’ sign. “Will you please all stand back?” She asked gently. They all did as she commanded and the waterbender closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Upon exhaling she opened her eyes. She drew her hands around her head in a circular motion. Water came out of no ware and Mizumi deposited it into the pond. The young princess repeated this motion until the pond was back to it’s original capacity. The sun was starting to set and she felt drained. Mizumi had done that many times before with her mother when they trained, but she never had been drawing water from the air for so long before. She felt her legs give way and saw her father run to her. “Mizumi you shouldn’t have done that. You’re exhausted.” her father spoke to her with a worried tone. She offered him a week smile and he didn’t fall for it. He turned his head to her friends “Mei Ling would you please help her to her room?” “Of course sir.” She walked over to Mizumi and helped her up. The Fire Lord shook his head with a smile “We’re family Mei Ling, call me uncle Zuko or just uncle.” The young women put on a big smile and replied “Very well ‘just uncle’, I’ll have the cook bring her something to eat before she goes to bed.” “That’s a good idea.” The Fire Lord said. Before Mizumi left the court yard completely she heard her father say “Shiu, I would like to talk to you in my study…oh no, don’t worry, it’s just a simple question. ……………………………

WOW that was great prayer girl! The part with Mizumi's pounce remimded me of zuko and mai with the apple! hehe it made me wonder wut was goin through zuko's mind.lol ur right shawn that would solve the name deal yup temsik i tottally agree my mom wont even let me do it bcuz of those reasons 197 is my fav. number!hehe lol

oh the apple thing is when azula put the apple on mai's head and put it on fire, then zuko pounced on her to stop the fire and they landed in the pond. both of them were irritated and soked. then zuko marched off saying how he hated gurls. ya know it was a flash back zuko had. ur freind, YueIsAwesome

I have a new chapter for you guys. Enjoy! ^o^ ps. I have two quotes in this story from a disney movie and a tv show I'll let you guss what they are. The quotes and the shows. CHAPTER 9 “Four days left! Four days until the full moon!” Katara thought while she was serving lunch for every one. Everyone except Daiza, he had to fend for himself. “Well what do you think? Is it any good?” Katara asked her new friends as she sat down with her lunch. “Yes, My Lady. It is wonderful! What do you call this dish?” Neomi asked her as she took another bite of the stew. Katara giggled “Stewed ocean come quads. I couldn’t find any sea prunes so I went with the come quads. A… an acquaintance of mine once told me that they were similar.” “Well you are quite the cook My Lady.” Neomi answered. Unbeknownst to Katara or Neomi Karu and Kimi were debating whether or not they liked the stew. “Do you like the stew Kimi?” “No, I’d rather choke if I didn’t already.” “Amen to that sister!” The two girls smiled and pounded each others fist on top of the other. The waterbender smiled at her “Thank you. My Gran-Gran taught me.” “Gran-Gran?” Neomi asked with the spoon at her mouth. “Oh my grandmother. That is what my brother and I called her.” “Called her?” Neomi asked with sad eyes. “Did she pass away?” “Yes.” Katara answered. She put her spoon down and closed her eyes. “She left three years ago. I remember what she said when she left my brother and me, ‘I love you my little waterbender and I love you, my strong brave warrior be nice to your sister and your brother-in-law. And my little waterbender continue to be the strong women I know you have always been and will continue to be. I love you two. Good bye.’ then she left.” Katara cupped her face in her hands and started to cry. Neomi walked over to her and patted her back. “It’s okay Lady Katara we all lose loved ones.” She forced the tears to stop and heard laughter. The two women turned their heads to see Daiza. “Watching you two is like watching a soap opera.” He chuckled his arms were crossed and he was in the corner leaning back on the wall. Neomi glared at him “Well forgive us for caring. Agni help you if you ever do.” “I chose not to partake in showing emotions. I find them bother sum and in the way.” He declared. “Now if you’ll excuse me ladies I have some business to attend too.” he picked himself up of the wall and turned to Katara “My Lady.” The four women watched him go with a biter-sweet feeling. After he was gone Katara put her hand on Neomi’s, which was on her shoulder, and looked up at the mother. “Thank you Neomi I feel much better now.” That was only half true. So Katara put on a warm smile. Neomi seemed to guess that the Fire Lady did not want to talk about it anymore so she returned the warm smile, put her hand on top of Katara’s and said lovingly “I’m glade to hear it My Lady.” …………………………… A guard opened the door to Zuko’s study and he walked in. the Fire Lord ushered the young airbender in and gestured to the chair sitting across his desk. The airbender sat down never once taking his eyes of Zuko. He didn’t seem nervous, but because Zuko knew him so well he could tell he was. “He’s hiding his nervousness well though.” Zuko thought. Zuko leaned back in his chair and aligned his spread out fingers. The Fire Lord then leaned forward, made a gun shape with his fingers, rested his elbows on the desk, and put his lips to his pointer fingers. “There really is no easy way to say this,” he stated as he put his hands down “so I’m just going to lay it out for you… What exactly were you doing in the courtyard?” He saw Shiu’s expression change ever so slightly and the airbender eyes went from nervously-calm to uncomfortably-confused. The young man looked back at the Fire Lord several times and tried to speak but nothing came out. “Your stunning silence is very reassuring.” “Umm…”he looked away again. The airbender took a deep breath, sat up strait and shifted his gaze back to Zuko. He looked the Fire Lord and said “I’m in love with your daughter sir.” The Fire Lord smiled “Yes I thought as much. And apparently she feels the same way for you. Funny I always thought that she would be the forward one in her relationships. She stubborn and hardheaded, just like her mother.” The Fire Lord then whispered “If Katara heard that she‘d kick my butt.” …………………………… “Huh.” Katara sat up strait in her seat. “What is it My Lady?” Neomi asked next to her. “I…don’t know why, but I think that when I finally go home, I’m gonna kick Zuko’s butt!” She punched her hand. “Huh?” …………………………… “Anyway, what are your intentions for my daughter?” Zuko asked getting back to the point. “Sir I love her! I…I just want to be with her.” Shiu finished quietly. Zuko put on a warm, understanding smile and sighed “Thank you Shiu that is all I wanted to ask. You are dismissed.” they both stood up and Zuko walked him to the door. “Good bye My Lord.” Shiu bowed to him and walked away. Before Zuko shut the door he heard Shiu say “Hey Mei Ling!” Zuko peered out of the door way. They two teenagers were the only two in the hall. “Huh…Oh Hey Shiu! Are you okay?” “Yeah, I’m fine why wouldn’t I be?” The airbender asked confused. The young women looked at him like it was obvious “Well, you were just talking to the Fire Lord and considering that we just found you and his daughter in the courtyard on the ground, alone, kissing, I’d think he would be a little more protective as in fuming.” “Well he wasn’t fuming, but he was protective.” Shiu stated blatantly. “He was?” She asked stupidly. “Yeah but in a gentle way.” “Oh, well, I was remembering what my mom dad said about uncle when he was younger and I was a little worried that you’d come out burnt to a crisp.” She said mater-of-fact. Shiu just laughed “I’m the Avatar’s son. I wouldn’t let just any old Fire Lord burn me to a crisp.” “But uncle isn’t just ‘any old Fire Lord’ he is the greatest Fire Lord the Fire Nation has ever seen and that is a fact.” “Touché.” He said simply. “Do you want to play a game of Pai-Sho? Mizumi’s sleeping.” “Sure.” He said a little disappointed. Zuko watched them run of and thought about Mei Ling’s words. If he had been younger he probably would have burnt him to a crisp, but growing up, and having uncle, he learned to be patient and understanding. Zuko closed his door and went to his desk to sit down. Before he did Zuko heard a hard nock on the door. The Fire Lord took the few steps to the door and pulled it open to see one of the messengers staring at him. “Fire Lord,” the man bowed low. Zuko inwardly rolled his eyes and then said dully “You may rise.” The man popped up and Zuko was surprised by how chipper this man seemed to be. “Sir. We have received word from the Avatar sir.” The short man handed him the rolled up scroll and Zuko’s heart started to flutter. Did Aang find Katara? What happened to her? Why was she in one of the air temples? “A-and?” Zuko urged the man. The man simply shook his head indicating a ‘no’. The Fire Lord’s heart fell in his chest and he felt like he had to cry. Zuko clenched the scroll in his hand and felt a little bit of moisture. Maybe he was not the only one who felt like he had to cry. “*sigh* Thank you.” The man bowed. He turned to go, but stopped. He didn’t turn around when he said “I-I’m sorry sir.” Zuko looked at his back. The man face was tilted toward Zuko. “I don’t know what I would do if my wife was taken from me.” “Agni forbid that you ever feel this pain.” Zuko said with a sad smile. The man turned to face Zuko again “Agni forbid that your pain is prolonged.” “What is your name?” “Azain. Azain sir.” “Thank you Azain.” Azain smiled warmly. “I live to serve you Fire Lord.” And with that the man called Azain bowed and ran off. Zuko watched him leave and decided to promote him to something. As Zuko walked back in to his study he closed the door behind him for the second time and opened the scroll. He walked back to his desk and sat down reading the scroll in his head. “I looked all over the place. Katara is not in any of the air temples. I’m going to go back to the Earth Kingdom to help the search there. I’m really very sorry Zuko. Aang” The Avatar had cried a little bit through out the whole letter. Not that Zuko could blame him, the Fire Lord wanted to cry right now. Zuko knew that he couldn’t. He was the Fire Lord. He had to keep it together no matter how hard it was. He had to be strong for his nation and his family, but as he looked at the words written in black and white on the scroll in front of him, his eyes started to water and in the privacy of his study Zuko let the tears fall onto the wood of his desk. ……………………………

I know he does, but it is still annoying! I have my new chapter for you guys! It's all Zuko! ^o^ Enjoy! CHAPTER 13 Zuko and Mizumi left the back room to find Shiu, Mei Ling, and Noblewomen Mai waiting for them. Mai bowed to them as they came into view “Fire Lord, Princess.” “Noblewomen Mai.” Zuko gave a curt nod back and so did Mizumi. “Mizumi has just finished telling me what Nobleman Fu has been saying.” The five of them walked out of the court room, into the hall and down the corridor. “And while I’m thinking about it Shiu, Mei Ling is ‘Daiza’ really gone?” The two nodded. “Then I wish to see for myself. Not that I don’t trust you, it’s just different when you see it with your own eyes.” Shiu and Mei Ling both shrugged. “Dad,” Mizumi said next to him “Shiu, Mei Ling and I have a previous…engagement.” When she said the last word Zuko raised one eyebrow. What was she up to? “Well then I wish you luck.” he finally said and Mizumi smiled then kissed him on the check and waved good bye. Shiu and Mei Ling bowed then hurried off after her. Zuko watched his only daughter leave. “What ever she’s doing I’m sure she’ll be fine.” Mai said reading his face. “I know.” He said with a sigh still watching her fading figure then the Fire Lord turned to face Mai. “She is her mother’s daughter after all.” They shared a moment of silence when Zuko smiled “You Always could read my face couldn’t you?” She smiled slightly and nodded her head. There was another moment of silence “Is all that Mizumi said about Fu true? Did he really say such awful things?” Mai lowered her head “As much as I hate to say it Fire Lord, it’s true, he did.” Zuko nodded thoughtfully “Nobleman Fu has always been pro-war. I knew it wasn’t a good idea to keep him on the counsel, but I thought it would be good to see how those who were pro-war are turning out.” Mai nodded thoughtfully “I can see your point, but, forgive me Fire Lord, you are to soft. You need to show the nobles that you are in charge not them. And don’t let what Fu said get you down. None of the other nobles feel that way. We all think that you are doing a wonderful job.” Zuko smiled at his friend “Thank you Mai, I needed to hear that.” “Any time Fire Lord.” The two turned the corner and Zuko remembered something. “Oh, Aang told me about Haru. Did you know that he and his dad are in charge of creating the protectors?” Mai smiled slightly “He sent me a letter. I’m really quite proud of him. Every time I see him it’s really hard to think that I had a life without him.” Zuko smiled too. “Yeah I feel the same about Katara.” “Of course when we first meet he did not seem like the husband type for me.” Zuko chuckled “Yeah when he proposed nobody expected you to say yes.” “To be quite honest Fire Lord I didn’t expect myself to say yes. My mind was saying something different then my heart…and my heart won. And I couldn’t be happier.” Zuko smiled at her happiness. Mai had once been his girlfriend and he thought that he loved her, but what he loved was not being the banished prince anymore. He loved having his father’s affection. So when he left all of that he left Mai behind and realized that he did not love her. “Have you heard from Ty Lee and Jet lately?” He couldn’t help but ask. They were newlyweds and off doing something with circus in the name. Zuko thought of his youth and how different they have all become. Haru never even meet Mai before and if he did she probably would have bored him to death if she didn‘t stab him first from being annoying. Now that they were married Haru was and is helping Mai show more emotion then just indifference. Ty Lee had a crush on Sokka (from what Sokka, Katara, Aang, Toph, and Mai had told him) and Jet…well he was not the type for Ty Lee. “Yes. From her last letter they were in the Western Air Temple. She said and I quote ‘I love it here, but poor Jet doesn’t seem to be having a good time, so we are going to move on the earth kingdom. He said he was going to show me where the freedom fighters tree top hide out was! I’m so exited!’ end quote.” The two had reached there destination and Mai turned to Zuko, bowed and said “I have to leave now. It was nice talking to you Fire Lord Zuko and good luck.” With that the noblewomen walked away. Zuko watched her go and was very happy things turned out for the better. Zuko walked a bit father and saw the big iron door being held open for him. The Fire Lord nodded his thanks to the two guards for their help and stepped into the high security tower. Zuko walked the few short steps to Haku’s old cell and saw an old friend there. “Azain?” Azain lifted his head and saw Zuko standing there. The young man moved so quickly that he fell into his chair two times. When he finally got to his feet he bowed low and formally, straitened up and said “Fire Lord Zuko. What brings you here?” Zuko watched this whole scene before him and when it was finished the Fire Lord could not help but laugh out loud at the stunned man. Once Zuko had finished his brief laugh fest he wiped a tear away from his eye and said to the shocked man “I’m sorry Azain. That was just one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in my entire life.” The uncomfortable Azain smiled shakily “I’m happy to have made you happy, sir.” Azain paused for a moment before saying “I assume you are here because of me.” Zuko made a confused face “I’m here because I was informed that Daiza had disappeared. I didn’t know that you were involved.” “Well I was assigned to guard him, sir.” Azain said shamefully. “Just you?” Zuko asked surprised. There should always be at least two guards at the high security tower cells. “No sir, I had a partner.” “Had a partner? What happened to him?” “He got hurt.” “How?” “He got hit in the head. It was the same day I delivered that note from the Avatar to you, sir.” “When you came back to this cell was Daiza here?” Zuko asked concerned. “No sir.” “Tell me exactly what happened from the time you got the note to the time you returned here to find Daiza gone.” “Well, I was guarding with Hintta when a messenger hawk came flying through the window. It had two notes attached to it sir, the Avatar’s note and another note attached to the foot.” “What did the other note say?” “When I saw the hawk I thought that it was new and got lost trying to find it’s way to the messenger tower in the palace. I was about to send it off again when I saw that the note attached to the foot was for Hintta. I said ‘that’s weird why would they send a note to you Hintta?’ he then said ‘I don’t know. What does it say.’ I opened it up and started to read it out loud. It read: ‘Hintta, there aren’t enough messengers to deliver this note to the Fire Lord and it would be greatly appreciated if you would do this for us. Messenger tower’ That was what it said. So I asked him if he wanted to run the note and he said no. so I offered for him. I left to go give you the note and when I came back Hintta was on the ground knocked out with a head injury and Daiza was not in his cell.” Zuko thought for a long moment then finally said “That letter…was a fake.” “Which one sir, the one from the Avatar or the one for Hintta?” “The one for Hintta was a fake. That was defiantly Aang’s handwriting. They must have intercepted that hawk, wrote the fake the note then sent it to you and Hintta. Obviously to spring Daiza.” “How do you know the letter was a fake sir?” “Well there are never that many messages that the message tower runs out of people to deliver the letters. And even if they did they would get a servant to run it not a guard. And if there were no servants they would chose another guard to run it. Why would they chose someone from the high security tower and a guard that just happened to be guarding the most dangerous prisoner here? It was defiantly a setup. They wanted to get the most experienced guard out of the way so they could take Daiza and do what they did to Hintta to you.” Zuko concluded with a glance at Haku’s old cell. “Well that makes sense. I never would have thought of that. It’s a good thing that your Fire Lord and not me huh?” Azain laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head. Zuko smiled understandingly “It’s okay. I’m not mad at you. If I hadn’t gone through what I’d gone through when I was younger I probably would’ve done the same thing.” The two men stood there quietly for a moment when a thought occurred to Zuko “Do you still have that note?” Azain looked at him for a second then said “Yeah.” The young guard rustled through his pockets then pulled out a piece of parchment. “Here you go, sir.” Zuko took the paper from Azain and read the writing in his head. Zuko rolled the parchment back up and closed his eyes “*sigh* I was afraid of this.” The Fire Lord looked up at Azain and the young man looked puzzled “What were you afraid of sir?” “I knew that this note was not from the head messenger, but this confirms my suspicions.” As Zuko said this he closed his eyes to hide them from the truth. “Sir?” Azain leaned in a little bit to try and see what the Fire Lord was thinking. Zuko sighed and looked up at the young man again “This is Azula’s handwriting.” ……………………………

Something just happened that i thought would be funny to share with you guys...So my mom was mad at my brother and she said this (this is how my brother acts) “I hate my school, I hate church, I hate this, I hate that” then she said “I’m just surprised he doesn’t hate the piss that comes out of him! ^o^ I thought that was very funny!

ps. ..::-::.. that means time went by. ^O^

What did you think about my one shot? ps. which chapter are you talking about? and thax!!!!!!!! ^o^

and i absolutly LUVED the one shot! awesome job =]

CHAPTER 15 “Oh Mizumi I missed you so much!” Katara cried while holding her daughter. “Oh mom I missed you too! I knew that I would find you! I just knew I would!” Mizumi said through their hug. Out of the corner of Katara’s eye she saw Daiza bow “My Lady, I hope you know that I cannot let your daughter leave now.” Katara looked up at him “Yes Daiza, I know!” she snapped back at him. ‘Oh Mizumi you couldn’t have come at a worse time! It is a full moon tonight. I was going to bloodbend, and I don’t want you to see it.’ She thought in her head. Katara led her daughter over to her friends. “Mizumi I would like you to meet my good friends.” The Fire Lady gestured to Neomi “This is Neomi,” Neomi bowed and Katara moved on to the twins. “This is Karu and Kimi, her two twin daughters,” Katara moved on to Haku “and this is their father Haku. He was only…” “Faking so that his family would be safe.” Mizumi finished for her and Katara just nodded. “Mom can I talk to you…alone.” she added viciously to the real Daiza. Katara just smiled and followed her up stairs to one of the bedrooms. “What is it that you want to talk about dear?” Katara asked already kind-of knowing the answer. “Mom you’re a waterbender! You could just draw water from the air like you taught me! There are five of you and only one of him! Even if the other four can’t bend, you are one of the most powerful waterbenders in the entire world! What are you doing here just being held captive?!” “*sigh* Mizumi, there are times when you have to attack and there times when you have to wait to attack. This was one of those times where I had to wait to attack. I wasn’t going to wait to be rescued if that is what you were thinking. I had to wait for an opportunity to attack. If I didn’t, those good people down there, with the exception of Daiza, would have been hurt. And remember what I always told you when you were little, ‘you can’t…” “‘judge a book by it’s cover. I know that, but what does that have to do with anything?” her daughter asked impatiently. Katara put both of her hands on her daughter’s head, kissed her on her forehead then leaned down to her eye level. “As much as I hate to admit, this Daiza is not as weak as he appears.” Before Mizumi could say anything else Daiza spoke behind them. “Why thank you My Lady. I do appreciate that compliment.” Katara looked up, saw that twisted smile on his face and cold shivers ran down her body. Katara stepped protectively in front of her daughter. “Mizumi go to Neomi.” she demanded. “Hey didn’t I say I-” Mizumi said to Daiza, but Katara cut her off. “Mizumi do as I say!” Katara said never once looking away from the intruder. “Mom…” Mizumi sounded small, insignificant and hurt. This hurt Katara to but she did not let it get in her way. “DO AS I SAY!” “Okay.” Katara felt her daughter lean in to her “Be safe.” with that last word she ran off and tried her best to avoid Daiza at the door. Once she had left he turned to face the door and Katara fought the urge to attack him. “What are you doing?” she asked him. Daiza ignored her and shut the door. Once it was closed he turned to her “What…?” “Unlike you or your daughter I make sure that when I want a private conversation with someone, it stays private.” “Why did you have to lock them?” Katara asked nervously. She was trapped in here with that man. Katara had never been so scared in her entire life. The fact that she could waterbend the air was lost to her for her fear was making her forget. Daiza started walking forward and she was backing up. “I told you My Lady I like my conversations private.” he was advancing on her and she had hit the wall. Her breathing was very shallow and rapid. “What do you want to talk about?” she asked quickly. Katara was terrified. He was on top of her now leaning over her. He put both of his hands on either side of her head and pulled a clump of her hair to his nose and took a deep breath in. This really scared her, what was he thinking? “My dear Lady,” he said while pulling her hair to his cheek “do you really think I would be able to keep five people prisoner if I didn’t know my captives?” Katara stayed silent, fear kept her so. He chuckled then let her hair fall, but came uncomfortably close to her face. “My Lady, I know a lot more then you think I do. You didn’t think I knew that you could bloodbend, did you?” Katara gasped. How did he know? “That is why, when the moon was at it’s peek I came in here and locked the door.“ Katara made a confused face and he just smiled. Before she could react he grabbed her wrists and slammed them against the wall. “AAAAGH!!!!” He was pushing far more then he needed and Katara could tell he wanted to. “Please stop! You’re hurting me!” “That’s the idea! You know the first time I saw you I knew I had to have you.” he said with a smile. “Why does watching you suffer make me happy? It’s like a drug to me, I can‘t get enough!” He pushed harder and she shrieked with pain. “Is it the sweet sounds that escape your beautiful lips? Or is it the fact that I am the one holding you? The one causing you pain?” He squeezed so hard that she could not feel her wrists anymore. Katara let out a wailing cry of pain and he finally let go. She fell to the ground unable to support herself. He met her on the ground and picked her up. She was being carried by this psycho?! No way was she going to let that one fly, but when she tried to raise her hands to waterbend all she felt was searing pain. Daiza put her on the bed and fell on top of her. Again he grabbed her wrists and the pain went through them and she screamed like bloody murder. The waterbender heard pounding on the door “HELP!! SOMEO-” her lips were covered by Daiza’s and as hard as she tried she could not free herself. Tears were falling down her eyes as she felt her body being used for a sick mans purpose. Her mouth was freed only for a second when she felt him cover her it with his hand. With his other hand he ripped her clothes off to revel her bandaged breasts. “Lady Azula said that tonight when I had stopped the use of your waterbending I could have my way with you and I intend to! It is certainly easier with both of you wrists broken don’t you think?” he laughed at his evil joke and all Katara could do was lay there and let him have her. She had tried to use her legs, but he had her legs pinned down with his own and when she hit her head on the wall she felt very weak. “KATARA? KATARA?!” the pain was so intense from her wrists that she had barley heard Zuko’s voice behind the door. “BURN THE DOOR DOWN!” she heard him say. “Aww looks like our time has come to an end My Lady. Pity I wasn’t able to get any further then just seeing your undergarments.” she saw him turn his head to look at the door. “Looks like he really wants you back. It’s not like I blame him, I would to.” he looked back at her “Until we meet again, I’ll take a souvenir.” he leaned down and kissed her hard. Daiza grabbed her wrists and squeezed with all his strength. He lifted his head to hear her shriek and she did. “AAAAAAAAAA!!!! AAAAAAAAAA!!!!” Katara started to cry and looked up at him. “KATARA, KATARA I’M COMING!!!!” Zuko screamed. “Keep that beautiful scream in your heart.” he leaned down, held her chin and kissed her again. This time Katara gathered the last ounce of her strength and tried to pull away. He let go, squeezed her wrists one last time, she screamed and then he was gone. The weight was off her and she was free. “KATARA!” Zuko came smashing through the door and ran up to her side. “Katara…what…happened to you?! Who did this to you?!” “Daiza, a man named Daiza did this to Lady Katara.” That was Neomi’s voice. “I’m sorry Fire Lord, but I must sit here. Will you please move?” she asked softly. “Who are you?” Zuko asked. “This is my wife Fire Lord Zuko. Her name is Neomi. She is good friends with Lady Katara and is a good doctor. She will help her sir.” Katara heard Haku say. Out of Katara’s almost closed eyes she saw Zuko nod and move out of her friends way. “Please forgive me if I cause you any pain My Lady.” Neomi said next to her. Katara smiled not having the strength to say ‘okay’ or do anything else. Neomi took one of Katara’s wrists in her hand and Katara shrieked. “Her left wrist is broken.” Neomi put her wrist down gently and picked up her other. Again Katara cried out in pain. “So is her right.” Neomi leaned down to Katara’s ear and whispered to her “Did he do anything to you My Lady?” Katara didn’t need it to be spelled out for her. She knew what Neomi meant and thankfully Katara could say no. The weak waterbender shook her head. “Good! That’s a relief.” Katara smiled at her friend and Neomi smiled back. “There is a slight bump on her head, but it is not serious. Some miner cuts, a few bruises on her fore arms and thighs.” “What all did he do to me?” Katara thought. She didn’t feel anything other then her wrists. “Nothing else seems to be wrong here, though I will need to wrap your wrists My Lady and I’m sure I don’t have to say this, but I will any way…no bending!” Neomi continued. Katara smiled. She was so tired that she could not keep her eyes open. So slowly Katara slipped into unconsciousness, but before she blacked out she felt Zuko slightly stroke her hand so that it did not cause her any pain. …………………………… *Earlier that evening* “We also…found…your wife…we found aunt Katara sir.” “Wha-what?” Zuko couldn’t believe his ears. He had wanted to hear that for so long and when he finally did he couldn’t believe it? What was wrong with him? “Show me where!” He demanded. The two nodded and turned around. The three began to run down the hall and as they did they told him where they had found her. When Zuko came across one of the commanders “Gather some men and meet me at the gate where the nobles houses are.” the man bowed and ran off. Once they reached the outside he saw a few men there and ordered them to follow them. All seven ran through the market place and to the nobles houses. “It’s this way Uncle.” Mei Ling said pointing to the west. They turned the corner and Zuko saw a large row of houses that all looked relatively the same. “How do you know which one Katara is in? And where is Mizumi?!” Zuko asked. “She said she’d be here.” Mei Ling spoke looking around for her cousin. “This is the right street, right Shiu?” Shiu looked around too “Yeah this is the street. I mean this is where we turned and when she told me to put her down.” The two were quiet for a moment when Shiu held his head and said “Wait didn’t the house Mizumi was in front of have a flag hanging in front?” Mei Ling turned to face him as realization hit her “Yeah it did!” the two raced off to the first house that had a flag. Zuko turned to one of the four men that had accompanied them “Stay here and wait for commander Xin then tell him to follow the men I place. Like a trail of bread crums.” the man bowed and Zuko ran off with the others. “It’s this one, I’m sure of it!” Mei Ling proclaimed. Shiu looked the house up and down. “Yeah I think your right this time.” “Did you find it?” Zuko asked them. They both nodded and looked at it. Why did it seem so familiar? Then it hit him. This was Nobleman Fu’s house.

wow!!!!!! fantastic prayer girl and very suspensful. great job! =]

u shut up billly! no we havn met but we're friends and prayer girl's story IS on the topic of auitions its avatar if u havnt noticed. AND we're not dorky! im srry if u keep getting emails but u didnt have to be so stupid and mean about it!!!!!!!!! and dont tell us about wasting our life!!!! u dont know anything about our life so U shut up >=[

=[......... ................................

Yue You have posted 68 times and I have posted 84. I talk alot. ^o^;

ok billy u r gettin on my very last NERVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we were trying to solve it for u and then u just insult us again?!?! and prayer girl idk. i just really dont know. i think giving out email or address is pretty risky. i guess we should just think about it sum more. -and billy, as i sed b4 u shouldnt tell us to get a life! we know NOTHING about our life so just shut up. u have no idea how badly i want to post every word of this individually so u get hundreds of emails. but prayer girl does have a point. kill em' with kindness is smart but i guess im just having an issue with u since ur just so rude.

Hey Yue do you have a Myspace?

Happy Easter Everyone!!! =]

common you guys this is really something that you all DON'T need to start a fight about. these kind of web site IS for communication AND when PEOPLE START TALKING YOU ARE GONNA MAKE SOME FRIENDS and end up wanting to talk to each other u know. If you want to bring something up about the auditions just make a comment and c what people gotta say about it simple as that

ya, i dont think its a good idea to give out any personal information. anyone could manipulate it to make it sound or seem like its sumone they arnt. lets just, well, maybe stick with this...

yet another wonderful chapter. it was sweet that u dedicated that to maku also did u make up the rest of the lyrics to the song? or did u find em"?

here we go again. to put it plainly. your story sucks. it started off good, but it got too confusing. too many characters and plots. just stop already. and if you too really want to converse, just swap emails and you two retards can stop posting here.

i couldnt hear u

Well Billy it takes one to know one! ^o^ thanx girls your to kind! as long as one person likes it I’ll keep writing AND posting it. And if my memory serves me correctly didn't we (and by we I mean Yue and myself) decide that it was dangerous to do that. I don’t think that it is dangerous to give me your myspace though Yue.

oh and billy, its 3 against 1, so i think its best u give up

My little brother wants to know how old you are Yue, he said that he would come on here and ask you any way so I wanted to know

lol its o.k. im turning 14 in july how old r u? im prolly younger...

Sorry Billy, I know this is gonna cheese you off, but I must admit I am curious. Prayer Girl when in December are you? I'm only asking because I'll be 18 on the ninth, and it's not often I meet someone the same age as me with a birthday in the same month. (I'm homeschooled...) And again, sorry Billy, I know how you feel about all the e-mails, it can be a pain to have to open one after another when the majority of them only contains "ur so nice!" or "Im soooo glad ur my friend" (meaning absolutely no offense to Prayer Girl and Yue, but it can be kind of annoying) but you went about it all wrong, and I think you now deserve to have your inbox flooded with them talking to each other. About bras should they choose too. Karma baby.

By origanal birthday I ment to say due date.

Your welcome Girl friend! ^o^ Now I'm going to sound really stupid but what does 'tmi' mean?

Hey, Prayer Girl, I really like your story, but you know there's a website specifically for fanfics. It's called fanfiction.net, and you can post your story and other people can review it. You should post your story there and keep this forum for info on the films. Let me know if and when you decide to post on ff.net, because I'd love to keep reading. [And "tmi" means "too much information" ]

I just went to that site and I didn't see any way for me to post my story. how do you go about doing that.

Totally! ^_~

ouch lol prayer girl people who are 20yrs are not that old. anyway if this movie bcomes a trilogy the actors are all gonna look older than the characters should be. just wish something would come up already

No problem, Prayer Girl, and no, it doesn't cost anything. And I think that it doesn't matter what age you are, so long as you don't LOOK too old. Ashley Tisdale is 23 and she still plays teenagers, and in the Harry Potter movies, the girl who plays 12 year old Moaning Myrtle is actually in her 40s. So I think that if you are 20 but you look the part of a teenager, you're okay. :]

wat really 40yrs old thats a surprise. they are probably looking for an asian person to play anag and zuko right, also with martial arts background. man can't wait

me either prayer girl, im white and do normal sports =( i really wish i could do sum martail arts tho, it sounds interesting to try out anyway, avatar won for best cartoon on the kids choice awards! YAY!!!!!!!!!! =D

wow, thx jakie! two of em' are actually really close! thx!

Me too! ^o^ Hey Yue I ahve a new fanfic. It's Zutara again but this time they are all in high school. Well Aang and Toph are in middle school, but you get the point. I don't have chapters they are just by days. and it is going to be short not long. Although if you are not satisfied with just the short story I can try to meak it longer. The first day “Man what took you so long Sugar-queen?” Toph asked Katara as she ran up next to them at the bus stop. They all took the same bus since Sokka’s car was in the shop. They found it easier since their school had the grades K-12 in other words a joint school. “Sorry Toph I had to run all the way from the other end of the school! It’s not as easy as it looks.” Katara huffed. Her brother Sokka started to run in place. “Shut up Sokka!” he smiled a big toothy grin. “Hey have you guys heard of that new student that just moved here from California? They just got him all set for tomorrow.” Aang said to his companions. “I heard his name was Zuko.” Katara said. “I heard that his sister is like totally crazy and they had to put her in the loony bin.” Sokka said in spooky voice that wasn’t as spooky as it was funny. “I heard that when he was 10 his mother died.” Aang said lowering his head. Toph then added “Yeah well I heard that she died in a fire and his father blamed him for it. So in retaliation he burned his son on the face. He was taken out of his father’s care after that and moved in to stay with his uncle.” “T-that’s awful.” Katara said quietly.

Well thoes stories have all been mine and if that is the way it is going to be so be it. but what do you think about my writing style?

well it wasn't bad...but besides the fact of zutara never going to happen (ah ha ha), they were good. like billy said though, they were a bit hard to follow. as heartless as he was, he had a point. i went away for a weekend, and i read the latest chapter (i had skipped about 2) and i was hopelessly lost. the new one's not too bad, but i wouldnt recommend making it as complicated as the other one, with all the characters and mini plots, etc

Yeah Chrokee is native american. That is really cool that you are asian and do marital arts. me I'm just a plain old white girl! ^_~

No prob Yue, I'm glad I could help. Yeah, temsik, Cherokee is native american, which is why I said I have asian looking features. I wouldn't just say that I'm asian, 'cause I'm not, but Native Americans do typically have some asian looking features (including the eyes).

wow! LUV it prayer girl!!!!as usual u did an excellent job =D luv the story line, u should continue writing it! the only confusion i have, is that on the first day u sed Sokka's car was in the shop, in the second he drove his car quite a bit. idk if u just over looked it or if his car was done in the shop by the next day. either way, u did an excellent and u should b proud of ur self

I have 'the third day' for you. Enjoy! ^o^ ps. I'm sorry that I haven't posted any new chapters of my other story. I've just been on a writing kick for this one. I'll try to post something new soon. :$ The third day ..::-::.. “SOKKA,” Katara yelled at her brother. “WHY DIDN’T YOU GET ME UP EARLIER I’M GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!” Katara scrambled to her closet and pulled out a short sleeve blue turtleneck sweater and put on a pair of jeans. Once she slipped them on she ran to her bathroom to do her hair. She was in such a hurry all she did was tie her hair in her bun and pull her hair loops up. She didn’t bother braiding the rest of it because she was in too much of a hurry. She brushed her teeth quickly, grabbed her backpack and ran to the kitchen. When she got there however, she saw that her brother was not in there. That was strange. Sokka was always in the kitchen. Katara saw her Gran-Gran and walked to her. She was making some chicken noodle soup. “Gran-Gran, where is Sokka, and what is that for?” Her Grandmother smiled “This is for Sokka he has food poisoning so you’ll need to catch the bus.” “Oh, well I have a few more minutes then, the bus is always late. Oh well, might as well leave now. Good bye Gran-Gran,” Katara hugged her then kissed her on the top of the head then grabbed a breakfast bar. She moved to go to her brother’s room. “Good bye Sokka, rest easy.” he weakly waved good bye and she was off. As Katara walked to the bus stop she phoned Aang, Toph, and Suki. Only to find out that all three of them had food poisoning too! They must’ve gotten it from the restaurant they ate from yesterday. Everyone had hamburgers except for Katara, she had the chicken sandwich. “Well I guess I’m going to be on my own today.” ‘Maybe Zuko will be in one of my classes like yesterday.’ she thought. When the bus finally came, Katara sat in the back. At the next stop three boys sat in the back with her. She accidentally over heard a conversation they were having. “Man did you hear about Jet and his gang?” the first boy asked. “Yeah, talk about living on the wild side!” the second said. “What are you guys talking about?” asked the third. “You didn’t hear Mitch?” said the second. Mitch shook his head. “Well I’m not that good at telling stories, go ahead and tell him Dylan.” the second said. Dylan looked at his two companions “Jet and his gang got in trouble with the feds last night.” “How so?” asked Mitch. “They attacked a girl.” Katara and Mitch widened their eyes. “She’s okay just really shaken up. One of the gang members saw her from across the street and asked her to go have a drink with him. When she said no thank you he got violent with her and none of the other gang members tried to stop him. They were actually laughing! Luckily someone was near by and heard her cries for help and called the police. The gang member that attacked the girl went to prison while the others were released this morning. They were probably suspended from school.” for the next ten minuets that was what she heard and Katara was glade for the bus to arrive at school. Her classes to day were as follows 2 per. History 4 per. Chinese 6 per. Health 8 per. Landscape Katara was excited for the weekend. It was Friday and Suki promised Katara that she would take her to go shopping. After grievously trying to persuade Toph into going with them the young blind women gave in. After they all went shopping they were to go out to a movie, all five of them. They had chosen the movie ‘How to be a Friend’ it was about this boy who was always picked on and never had a real friend, when he met a girl who just moved to his home town and was the very first person nice to him. They grow up together and gradually fall in love. When she is chosen to be in a contest and she wins. Then she moves away and the rest of the movie is about them trying to find each other. Katara was exited to watch it (assuming that everyone was over the food poisoning). During history the class had to take a test and once she had finished she fell asleep. Her next class, Chinese, she always looked forward to, but today there was a sub. So she did her work as she watched her classmates terrorize the sub. Health was okay, but Katara wanted to actually heal people. She knew that this class didn’t do that so she soaked up all the knowledge she could get, but it was still boring. Finally the last period of the day then the weekend! Landscape was so much fun! She always had some water theme in her designs and when she had a perfect idea of how the water should flow; it always turned out that way. When she arrived outside she saw a familiar face “Hi Zuko!” she exclaimed. He looked up at her “Hi Katara! I didn’t know you took this class too.” she walked over to him and smiled “I see that your shoulder is felling better. No sling, huh?” “Yeah! My Gran-Gran gave me some stuff and I fell great! It still hurts if I move it wrong.” she answered. “That’s great! I’m just curious though why did you take this class?” “Well to tell you the truth, I love water! To design landscapes with water in them is just so fun! To see the finished product is so rewarding I can’t get enough. How about yourself?” “Well I joined for two reasons number one an easy A, and number two I like Fire!” on the word fire a flame came from Zuko’s hand and Katara’s eyes widened. “H-how did you do that?!” “A magician never reveals his secrets.” he said closing his hand to extinguish the flame. “There’s a lighter in your hand isn’t there?” “Aww man!” he said defeated and Katara chuckled. “Class please listen up.” Mr. Pakku said. “For you next project I would like you to chose a partner and come up with a new design. That is all. You may start.” “Well, considering I don’t know anybody else you want to be my partner?” Zuko asked her. Katara squealed inside, but forced herself to stay calm. She raised an eyebrow “What so I’m a last resort?” he shrugged. “Well I guess I can be your partner seeing as I have no one else.” Just then a hoard of boys ran up to her asking her profusely if she would be their partner. She put her hand up to stop them “Sorry, I already have a partner.” They all walked away with their heads down. “‘No one else’ huh?” She shrugged “Hey, what can I say, it’s a curse.” Katara flipped her hair with her hand. Then she had an evil thought “Zuko,” he looked up at her “You wouldn’t happen to be jealous, would you?” she smiled up at him wickedly. “N-no.” he said nervously. “W-we’d better get started.” Zuko felt something tug at him, it was annoying was it Jealousy? No, he wasn't so stupid as to be jealous of that. It was probably... Heartburn. Yeah. She smiled warmly “’Kay.” The whole class period was like that and Katara loved every bit of it. ..::-::.. The bell rang indicating that school was over and Katara gathered her things. “Oh Katara I would like to talk to you.” Mr. Pakku said. Katara walked over to her teacher and looked at him for further description. “I would like to be the first to congratulate you on your win Katara! You’ve won first place in the Novice Landscaper Competition! You automatically get to go to the International Landscaper Competition!” Katara’s eyes widened “I, I won?!” Pakku nodded. “I can’t believe it! I won! I WON!!” Katara screamed cheerfully. She danced around and twirled in place. Katara was so happy that she didn’t care if she looked like a complete idiot. “Tell me all the details!” Pakku smiled “You automatically get to compete world wide with other winners, participants or qualifiers. You have to design a certain size landscape in the amount of time given. You all get the same amount of manpower, materials and other things. They judge you on quality, artistry, theme, dynamic differences and changes, and how well you fair with the materials given.” “Wow that sounds hard.” Pakku reached into his bag and pulled out a medal and a piece of paper. “What’s that?” “This is your medal for winning first place and this is your certificate.” he handed them to her. “Thank you Mr. Pakku!!” Katara exclaimed hugging him. Then she ran off. “KATARA! KATARA!” Mr. Pakku yelled at her, but she didn’t hear him. Pakku looked over to see Zuko gathering his things and just about to leave. “Oh Zuko,” Zuko turned around “would you please go find Katara and tell her that her designs have to be mailed to this address by Friday. I would do it myself, but I have to get to a meeting. Does it inconvenience you?” Zuko shook his head “No sir, I can give that to Katara. Bye.” Zuko jogged after her. Katara jumped and swirled and laughed all the way to the gym. “I can’t wait to tell Gran-Gran, Sokka and dad!” she exclaimed. Katara ran into the locker room and went to her locker. “1-34-27.” her locker opened and she grabbed her stuff. When Katara shut her locker she heard a door shut then lock. “Oh no! The custodians are starting to lock up! I have to get out.” she ran to another door only to find out that it was locked too. She ran to the last door and it was also locked, just like the others. Katara started to bang on the door “HELLO?! CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?! HELLO?!” “He he he he he.” “HELLO?! I CAN HEAR YOU! OPEN THIS DOOR! I NEED TO GET HOME!” “They won’t open this door Katara.” Katara turned around. ‘Why me?’ she thought. “I told them to lock us in hear. Our conversation got interrupted last time and I wanted to make sure that none of that happens again.” “Jet!? Have them open the doors! NOW!” Katara demanded. Jet started to laugh and walk towards her. She was forced to fall back. He didn’t stop until he had her against the wall. “W-what are you doing? Seriously Jet, this isn’t funny, have them open the doors.” He smiled at her and ran the back of his hand down her face. Katara was terrified. After what she had heard this morning on the bus Katara wanted to scream for help and cry like a baby, but sound wouldn’t come to her throat and she had to be strong. She couldn’t let Jet get the better of her. “You’re shaking.” he moved his fingers to her chin to hold her there then leaned in to try and kiss her. Katara closed her eyes tight and her reflexes took over. She felt her body move, but her brain was just to terrified to think. She watched herself doge his kiss and push him into the wall. She looked down and her hands and one still had him pinned to the wall, the other was drawn back into a fist at her side. Jet freed himself and turned to face her. “Now that wasn’t very nice baby.” Katara glared at him and through her punch at his face. Jet caught it in his hand and said “You’ve got some power in your strike,” he pulled her into an embrace. Jet held her fisted arm and pulled it around his back then took his other arm and rapped it around Katara’s lower back “To bad I’ve got more.” He pulled her closer to him and Katara’s arms flew up to stop him. “NO! LET ME GO YOU EGOTISTICAL MANIAC!!” Katara got free of him and ran to the door to try and escape forgetting that they were locked. She pounded on the doors and screaming for help. “PLEASE!” She cried “PLEASE LET ME OUT!” Katara continued to pound on the door only to hear laughing on the other side. They weren’t going to let her out. Jet started to walk over to her calmly and she fell to her knees and started to cry unable to hold it back any longer. All she could do was keep avoiding him until someone came looking for her. ‘But how long can I do that?’ she thought. “Now Katara we can do this the easy way or the hard way. I would prefer the easy way and I think you would too.” Jet told her snidely stopping in front of her. She turned to look at him and glared fiercely “I would prefer to leave and turn you into the cops for assaulting me!” she growled at him. He smiled at her mysteriously “But I haven’t…yet.” Her eyes widened “W-what do you mean?” He moved forward and knelt down so that their faces were parallel “You know what I mean.” Thousands of thoughts were running through her head, ‘kick him in the balls’, ‘how dare you, I’m not your property’, ‘why me’, ‘I’m going to die, someone help me!’ but out of all of those thoughts all came out was “Please…” Jet smiled and Katara couldn’t feel her legs. She heard on the other side of the door a voice say “Hey Jet ya done it yet?” “No not yet, but I’m very close.” Jet answered back. Jet grabbed her shoulders and started to push her down to the floor. Katara didn’t know what to do so she let him control her body. When she felt the cold hard ground on her back Jet pulled her arms up like she was surrendering to the cops and held them there. Then he got on top of her and Katara felt his weight on her stomach. ‘Katara what are you doing?! He is going to take advantage of you and you’re just letting him?! Fight back!’ she thought in her head. Jet released one of her hands and Katara was still limp. He moved his hand down her chest and onto her pant belt. He started to undo it when he was done with that he went to unbutton her pants then unzip her zipper. ‘FIGHT BACK!!’ she yelled in her head. After Jet had finished undoing her pants he left them on then went to her sweater. He started to pull up her sweater so that her skin was exposed all the way up to the bottom of her breasts. ‘FIGHT BACK!!!!!’ “NOOOOOOOOO!!!” she screamed and fought to keep her sweater down. Jet’s smile went away and he started to get violent again. “Come on Katara, we were doing just fine! Don’t throw it away!” Jet was pulling so hard on her sweater that it started to rip. “JET, LET ME GO! I SAID LET ME GO, YOU SICK PERVERTED CREEP!!” Katara screamed and fought harder when she heard a *rip*. “Now we’re getting some where.” Jet pushed her arms down on the ground again and Katara struggled even harder. “Hold still Katara!” she was moving so much that he was having trouble holding her hands. *slap* Katara lie still on the ground stunned. Her face red and burning. Hot tears started to run down her face and she looked up at her captor. “There, I’m glade that made you stay still. Now I can finish this and be on my way.” Katara looked at him then glared, he smiled back then started to lean forward to try and kiss her. She spit in his face and smiled contently. Jet wiped it away slapped her again. Katara wasn’t going to give up she continued to fight and then he did something that she didn’t expect, he pulled out a knife and held it to her neck. “You hold still and let me finish, or you die then I finish. Your choice.” he smiled at her and she knew her life was over. “*Bam!* Katara?!” Katara turned her head to see Zuko run through the door. Her eyes started to get blurry and tears streamed down her cheeks “Zuko!” she said and he looked down at her. “What are you doing to Katara?!” Zuko asked Jet. Jet looked up and him and opened his mouth to say something, but Zuko was on him before he could even blink. Zuko moved with such grace that the next thing she felt was the weight gone. She lied there for a moment then sat up to see that Zuko had Jet pinned down with Jet’s own knife. Zuko pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number. “Hello? Yes I need the police and a medic at Avatar High School 1953 Bender Street. Go into the girl’s locker room, down by the gym.” Zuko hung up the phone and held Jet there on the ground until police arrived. They police ran into the girls locker room and Katara weakly looked over to them, her eyes dry. They all had hand guns pointed at Zuko and Jet. “POLICE! DROP THE KNIFE AND BACK AWAY WITH YOUR HANDS UP!” one man yelled. Zuko didn’t take his eyes off of Jet, but said to them “I’m the one who called you. My name is Zuko and this scum attacked that girl over there. Her name is Katara.” one of the police officers walked over to Zuko and pointed the gun at Jet. Zuko stood up and walked over to the other police and gave them the knife. “Those guns out there where involved in this too.” Three police men nodded their heads and went out of the locker room. Two men ran in to the locker room and walked up to Katara. “Miss, are you alright?” one of them asked Katara, but Katara was staring into space and didn’t hear them. “Miss are you alright?” the other asked a little louder. Katara still did not acknowledge them. “Here, let me try.” Zuko said walking over and kneeling down in front of Katara so that their eyes met each other. “Katara,” he said softly. She looked at him “Every things okay now.” Zuko smiled that crooked smile warmly and Katara through herself onto him crying hysterically “OH ZUKO, I WAS SO SCARED! I YELLED FOR HELP, BUT NOBODY CAME FOR ME! I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE!” Zuko hugged her back and held her tight “Shhh, its okay now Katara you’re alright. I heard you, and I came for you. I will always be there for you Katara.” Zuko petted her hair and one of the medics put a blanket around her and Zuko. ..::-::.. “Well, Katara I can’t get a hold of your family so I guess I’ll take to my place until we can reach them. I would like to take you home and I really think you should go home. Is that alright?” Zuko asked Katara as he drove off from the school. Katara shook her head. “Fine then I will go with you so you can go home.” Katara shook her head again. “Do you not want to go home?” she nodded. “You do?” she shook her head. Zuko had given her his jacket so that she could cover up and she held it tightly. In Katara’s mind set this is what she thought. ‘She hated everyone except for Zuko because he was the only one who came for her. She never wanted to leave his side again.’ This was twice now that he had saved her and she thought that if she left him she would get attacked again. “Then I guess I will let my uncle talk to you. I’ll take you to my place. Do you like tea?” he asked her sweetly. Katara looked at him and nodded. It was another ten minutes before they got to Zuko’s house and when he pulled up Katara saw the sign ‘The Jasmine Dragon’ on the front. She was so transfixed with the sign that she didn’t notice Zuko open the door for her. “Here,” he pulled her out of the car “is where I live with my uncle.” Zuko walked Katara inside and found it just as busy as ever. “UNCLE!” Zuko called and his uncle popped his head out of the back of the place behind the counter. Zuko walked Katara over to him. “Uncle this is Katara she is a friend of mine we go to school together. Katara this is my uncle Iroh.” Katara shifted her gaze from Zuko to Iroh. “Hi…” she said weakly. “Hello my dear! It is nice to meet such a beautiful, young, women on a wonderful day like this!” Iroh said walking forward to hug her. Katara’s fear started to rise and she huddled into Zuko and closed her eyes tight. “Oh I’m sorry I didn’t mean to scare you. How about a hand shake, instead?” he held out his hand and Katara took it. “Um uncle I have to go…help Katara up stairs so we’ll be right back.” Zuko told his uncle then walked Katara up the stairs. Once Katara was in Zuko’s room her heart started to flutter like a butterfly. “Well this is my room although you probably guessed that. Well…umm…so let’s find you a new shirt.” he walked over to his dresser and opened one door after the other. “Well…I don’t have anything that you could- oh yeah!” he snapped his fingers. “I have just the thing.” he ran out the door “Oh…umm…make yourself at home.” he said poking his head back in for a second. He left again and Katara looked around. His room was pretty plain. It had a bed and a desk. On his dresser was a stereo and a gage. Katara walked over to it and looked inside. It was a baby Blue Spirit Dragon Lizard. “WOW!” Katara exclaimed. Blue Spirit Dragon Lizards were really rare. If you ever found one as a baby, as they grew up in your care they were supposed to be really loyal to you. These lizards were supposed to get really big like a new born dragon. The reason they called it the ‘Blue Spirit’ Dragon was because they moved and looked like the Blue Spirit from ancient Chinese legends. They were really mean and harmful to people that they didn’t know, but Katara didn’t know that. She opened the gage and reached her hand down inside and picked up the Lizard. “KATARA NO!” Zuko yelled behind her. Katara turned to face him with the lizard in her hands resting and purring (kind of) in her hands. The lizard crawled up her arm and rested on her shoulder. “What?” Katara asked Zuko confused. The lizard started to lick her left cheek and Katara smiled. She grabbed the lizard and put it back in its gage. She turned to face Zuko again “What’s the matter Zuko?” Zuko walked over to her “Those lizards don’t take kindly to strangers.” “They don’t?” “No, they’re really dangerous to someone other then their owners. So that was really weird.” Zuko walked over to her and gave her a beautiful red silk sweater that had gold trim. (It was like the Chinese shirts.) “Here, you can wear this.” he handed it to her. “Wow…thank you Zuko.” Katara said taking it in her hand. “Is it yours?” He shook his head “No it was my mother’s. This was one of the very few things of hers that survived the fire.” Katara smiled at him. “Thank you Zuko, but I can’t take this. It’s too precious.” She tried to hand it back to him and he shook his head again. “It’s okay Katara, I want you to have it.” he pushed it back into her arms. “Have it! But Zuko this is your mother’s!” “I know. I want you to have it and so would she. Besides it would be more beneficial to you then to me. It just sits in the closet and gathers dust. I’ll let you change.” he walked out of his room and shut the door. Katara hugged the sweater tightly remembering her own mother then put it on. Once she was done she laid Zuko’s jacket on his bed and went down stairs. As she went down the stairs she over heard Zuko talking to his uncle Iroh. “Uncle she’s not my girlfriend. She is just a friend.” “Oh Zuko I can tell by the way you look at each other, there is a natural connection. And if she was not your girlfriend why was she wearing your jacket?” Iroh asked “I closed the shop early so you could have it to yourselves.” Katara’s heart started to pound. Zuko looked at his uncle “She was…attacked today after school.” his uncle looked confused. “This guy named Jet, tried to…rape…her.” Zuko said with what seemed to be pain. “The reason she was wearing my jacket was because her sweater was ripped to pieces.” Iroh’s eyes closed with sadness “Oh that poor girl…” Iroh looked at his nephew “Zuko I am very proud of you, but why didn’t you take her home? I’m sure her family is worried about her.” “Well I tried to call them, but all I got was the answering machine. When I asked if she wanted to go home she told me no. So I brought her here to have some tea.” “Well then I better make a fresh batch.” Iroh clapped his hands and went into the kitchen. “So what exactly happened, do you know?” he asked from the kitchen. Katara sat down on the stairs and listened to Zuko’s story. “…and that’s how why she’s here.” he finished. “That is awful. But I guess it is a good thing that you were there both times. I guess those situations can be looked at like you are a bad omen for Miss Katara or you are good luck for Miss Katara. Katara had calmed down considerably since that afternoon and she took that opportunity to join their conversation. “Hello.” she said cheerfully as she entered the room. “Mmm that smells good. What are you cooking sir?” she asked Iroh. He popped his head out of the kitchen and smiled saying “You look beautiful Miss Katara and you can just call me uncle or Iroh, which ever you prefer.” She smiled warmly “Thank you Iroh and you can just call me Katara.” Zuko looked at her and his heart beat started to beat faster. Katara was beautiful! He really did like her, but it was too soon and he didn’t want to take advantage of the fact that she was hurting. He didn’t want to seem too forward especially after what had happened. She probably didn’t like him any way. “Katara maybe you should call your family. I mean they are probably worried it is past 6:00.” Katara sighed heavily and nodded. “Here you can use my phone.” Zuko handed his phone to her and when she took it, their hands brushed ever so slightly which made Katara blush. She smiled warmly to hide it and said “Thank you.” “S-sure.” Zuko said then looked away. Katara dialed her house and waited. “Hello?” she asked on the phone. “Dad, I-…I know I’m sorry I-…yes I am at a boy’s house his name is Zu-…it’s not like that dad, he-…no…I…haven’t…” Katara’s eyes started to get blurry and tears started to fall. “Dad I’m really sorry I-…BUT IT WASN’T MY FALT!” she yelled into the phone then hung up. Katara didn’t want Zuko to see her so weak, so she ran up stairs to his room and fell onto his bed and cried. “Well that didn’t go well.” Iroh said coming out of the kitchen with three cups of tea. He gave one to Zuko and set his on the table in front of him. He left the third cup of tea on the tray. “Let me have your phone, Zuko.” Iroh held out his hand and Zuko gave him his phone. Iroh hit the redial button and waited for Katara’s family to pick up. “Hello…no I’m sorry, but I’m not your daughter Mr.…Hakoda. My name is Iroh. I just moved here with my nephew Zuko. He goes to the same school as your daughter Mr. Hakoda. I have called to let you know that your daughter is at our home (we live above the new tea shop The Jasmine Dragon) for a reason.” Iroh began to explain what Zuko had told him earlier. “…I assume that is why Katara yelled at you then hung up. Would you please hold for a second?” Iroh put his hand on the mouth piece of the phone and said to Zuko “Would you go and get Katara so she can talk to her father?” Zuko nodded and went up stairs. Once he got to his room however he saw a sleeping beauty on his bed and turned right back around and went down stairs. “Umm uncle I would, but she’s kind of asleep on my bed. Do you want me to go and wake her up?” “Mr. Hakoda…Hakoda, we have a bit of a problem/ it seems Katara has fallen asleep on my nephew’s bed, no don’t worry he’s right here next to me….I don’t know I’ll ask him.” Iroh turned to face Zuko “Have you met Katara’s brother Sokka or his girlfriend Suki?” Zuko nodded his head “Yeah Suki and Katara are in my math class and I met Katara’s brother Sokka on my way to the nurse’s office on Thursday.” Iroh conveyed what Zuko had told him to Hakoda. “…Yes I can wait…” the two satin silence until Iroh spoke again. “Yes? … Yes we live at 2045 Fire Street. We live above the shop The Jasmine Dragon. I own the tea shop….then I will take good care of her see you tomorrow morning…good bye.” Iroh hung up the phone and turned to face Zuko again and smiled big. “We are going to have a sleep over.” “What do you mean by that?” Zuko asked a little nervous. “Miss Katara is going to sleep here tonight and her father is going to pick her up in the morning.” Iroh said picking up the dishes from all of the tables and bring putting them in the kitchen. “And where am I supposed to sleep?” Zuko asked him a little agitated. “On the floor of course.” Iroh said popping out of the kitchen. Zuko moaned to himself then helped his uncle with the dishes. Once every thing was clean it was 9:00 and he followed his uncle up the stairs and got a blanket and a pillow. Zuko walked into his room and shut the door. He walked over to the right side of his bed and laid the pillow and blanket down on the ground. Once he was situated he laid there on his back thinking about what the morning would bring. He looked up towards Katara and heard her shiver involuntarily. Zuko got up and pulled the covers out from under her then covered her sleeping body them. He looked at her again and thought that sleeping with her hair like that wouldn‘t be very comfortable. So he sat down on the edge of his bed and undid her hair. Some of her hair fell across her face and he couldn’t help, but remove it. When he did, he looked down on her angelic face and leaned in closer despite himself. He moved his head so that his lips touched the surface of her forehead in a delicate kiss. When he moved away he saw Katara smile and he smiled too.
