I gently pulls her closer, careful to not wake her up. She snuggles closer against me. I place a soft kiss on her forehead and place my chin on top of her head. I close my eyes and let myself drift off to sleep, while holding the love of my life... my world.

-The Journey Continues-

Y/N P.O.V

The villagers finally accept Zuko's and the others. I'm so glad that they finally forgives the Fire Nation. Now that we finally won the villagers' trust, it means we have to move on to the next country.

We are all ready to go for our next journey. All we have to do is get on our bisons and we're set on the journey. Well, kind of... how can we go when I can barely move? There's bunch of kids holding onto my waist and legs.

I laugh nervously as I gently caress their heads, as they hold onto me tightly while crying their eyes out. I turn my head to look at Zuko, to see him and the others just stares at me with a nervous smile, not knowing what to do.

"Now now, everyone. It's not forever. I'll come and visit every now and then. We have to continue our journey" I said, softly. One of them pulls away from me and looks up at me with tears in his eyes.

"Promise?" He asked. I smile softly and caress his cheek softly. "Of course... I'll come and visit every chances I get" I said. He sniffles and hugs me again. The other kids keeps on crying while holding onto me.

"Come on, kids, let the Spyrth and her friends go. She and the others have to continue their journey in restoring the world's peace..." the village's chief said. The kids whined at what he said, making him give them a stern look. I pat their heads one more time as they they pull away.

They take a few steps away. I just give them a soft smile. I turn around and jumps onto b/n's head. I turn to look at the kids who stares at me with so much sadness in their eyes.

I lift my hand and wave at them. They return my gesture, while staring at me sadly. I smile softly at them and urge b/n to fly. She let out a groan and starts to fly.

"They're all really fond of you, huh? They absolutely adores you" Zuko said. I turn my head to look at him, to see him leaning over b/n's saddle. I smile at what he said.

"I'm happy... and I'm going to miss them a lot" I said. He moves to sit next to me on b/n's head. I scoots closer to him and leans my head on his shoulder. He places a soft kiss on the side of my head.

"Hey, just like you said. We'll come and visit again" he said. I pull away slightly and smiles at him. He smiles back and gives my lips a soft peck. I turn my head to look at my brother as he calls out to me from
Appa.

"Where should we go next, Y/N??" He asked. I think about it for a bit. "How about Omashu?" I suggested. He ponders about it for a while. I watch as he starts to grin. He turns to look at me and sends a thumbs up. I smile at him and nod my head.

"Omashu it is!" I said. He grins and nods his head in agreement. An idea pops up in my head. I move to lower my body down, so my lips is next to b/n's ear.

"What are you doing, Y/N?? You'll fall of!" Zuko said. I turn to look at him and laugh. "Oh relax! I can air-bend, remember?" I said. He let out a huff. I grin at him and turn to b/n. I whisper something in her ear, making her groan out. I grin happily and turn to look at Aang.

"Hey, Aang!" I yelled out, to gain his attention. He stares at me in confusion, as I start to grin. "Wanna race?" I said, while staring at him with a mischievous grin. I can see a glint of excitement in his eyes, which makes the grin on my face widens.

Sokka and the girls' eyes widen at what I said, while an excited grin appear on Aang's face. "Oh no. No no no! Please don't!" Sokka said, shaking his head. Suki, Katara, and Toph also looks panicked.

"Let's do this!" Aang said. The other three groan, as well as the three people behind me. I turn to look at them and grins mischievously. "Alright, you four... hold on tight or you might fall of! b/n! Yip yip!" I said. They let out a loud scream as b/n picks up her speed.

***

We eventually land on Omashu. b/n is the first to touch the ground. I stand up on her head and yell out in victory.

"We won, girl! We won!!" I yelled out. I turn my head to look at my flight companions to see them looking very pale. "Whoops... you guys okay?" I asked, staring at them worriedly.

"Never again..." Mai said, looking like she's about to throw up. Uncle Iroh is holding tightly onto the side of the saddle. "I'm too old for this..." he said, looking blue on the face. I burst out laughing and rolls down b/n's head, landing on the ground with a thud.

"Oh goodness... are you okay, Y/N??" Zuko said, jumping of b/n's head. He rushes towards me and helps me up. I pat my body to clean myself of from the dirt. I wave my hand dismissively, still giggling.

"Oh I'm fine..." I said. Appa finally lands on the ground. I turn my head to see Aang, sitting on Appa's head with his arms crossed. He's obviously sulking from losing.

Toph pops up behind him. "Did you forgot there's a blind girl around you? It's already terrifying to fly. Now you make me fly with speed..." she said. I just cover my mouth, trying not to laugh.

"Ouch!" I said, when a piece of stone hits me on my head. I rub the sore spot, already knowing the stone is from Toph as a revenge. "Sorry, Toph" I said, while letting out a soft giggle. She let out a huff and let herself fall back onto Appa's saddle.

I turn to look at Aang, who still looks unhappy. I grin at the face he's making. I run forward and jumps on Appa's head. I squad down next to him and poke his cheek teasingly.

"Awe~ someone's being a sore loser~" I said, with a teasing voice. He rolls his eyes and jumps down of Appa's head. "Whatever... race you to the city!!" He suddenly yelled out, running off to the city. My eyes widened, completely not expecting him.

"Hey!! No fair!" I protested. I quickly jumps off Appa's head and speeds off after him. He let out a laugh and speeds up. I growl as I start to feel competitive. Oh, my dear brother... game on!!
