The Library

"What's out here?" Sokka questioned.
Aang was held a flute in his hands and sat down in front of a few holes inside the ground. "There's a lot, actually. There's hundreds of little..."

"Shh! I know you can see underground, but don't ruin the surprise. Just watch." A grin grew on Aang's face as he put the flute into his mouth and played a tune. An animal popped out one of the holes and sang along to Aang's song. "Yeah! I'm putting a orchestra together!" You chuckled at his excitement.

You heard Sokka grumbling in annoyance as Aang continued to play his melody. Katara giggled as Momo tried to capture the Ava- The groundhogs. Sokka, on the other hand, walked over to Aang and shoved his finger into his flute. A moue formed on the airbender's face.

"This is great and all, but don't we have more important things to be worrying about? We should be making plans." Sokka said, crossing his arms. "We did make plans. We're all picking mini vacations." Toph stated. "And I still haven't gotten to mine." You huffed, crossing your arms.

"There's no time for vacations."
"I've been learning the elements as fast as I can. I practice hard everyday with Toph and Katara. I've been training my arrow off!" Aang exclaimed.

You placed your hands over your mouth in shock.
"Yeah, I said it!"

"What's wrong with having a little fun in our down time?" Katara asked. "Even if you do master all of the elements, then what? It's not like we have a map of the Fire Nation.  Should we just west until we reach the Fire Lord's house?"

Sokka pretended to knock on a door, "Knock, knock! Hello, Fire Lord? Anybody home? I don't think so. We need intelligence to win this war."

Aang played another note on his flute, making Katara giggle. "Okay, okay. How about this? We finish up our vacations and then look for your intelligence."

Sokka furrowed his eyebrows and crossed his arms. You pat him on the shoulder and shook your head, making him more upset.

Aang and Katara looked at their map, mumbling to each other. Then, "The queen has made her decision! Misty Palms Oasis it is!" Aang exclaimed.

You were all disappointed. It was awful. "Misty my a-" Katara gave you a look, "My arrow!" Aang gave you a look. "It's there, you just can't see it."

You all walked into a restaurant-bar-place and passed five men who seemed particularly sandy. "One mango, please." The bartender chopped up some fruits and poured a jug into a bowl using swords. He then placed a decorative umbrella in the liquid, handing it to the man who ordered it.

"I don't see anything wrong with having one of those fruity beverages while we plan our strategy." Sokka smirked, walking over to the bartender. The man who had bought a mango drink bumped into Aang, pouring his beverage onto the ground.

The two began to talk, but you quickly found an empty table and sat down in one of the chairs, putting your head down and covering it with your arms.

You left him.

He was staring directly at you, and you left him.

Your mind was at war with itself.

He didn't deserve a person as awful as you.

But he needed you. That's all that mattered.

And you blew it. You left him alone with Iroh.

You were awful.

"Worthless..." That word rang in your head.

No, Zhao died during the Siege at the North Pole. He's dead. He's dead and he's not coming back.
