Avatar; The Royal Firebender.

Kidnapped

All through the house, every member of Team Avatar is sound asleep. Aang is curled up with Momo in his room, his staff lying at the edge of the bed having just been repaired by Ming the seamstress. Iroh lays on his bed, snoring loudly enough to make the lid of his favorite teapot vibrate from the noise. Katara and Toph share a room together, the young waterbender lays on her chest with her arms tucked around her pillow. Meanwhile Toph sleeps sprawled out across her mattress, her pillow over her left hand and her right foot hangs off the side of the bed. Sokka and Yue lay tangled in each other's arms clad only in the blankets that cover them. The princess lays on his chest with her arms out above his head, Sokka himself has a hand resting on her back and the other clasp in hers. Zuko has his arms wrapped tightly around Jin's smaller frame, his right hand cupping her large chest and she is using his other arm as a pillow. Jin holds onto a large plush turtle duck that he had won for her at the fair the previous day as the two sleep soundly.

Outside, Appa sleeps laying on his side, having rolled over slightly on the pile of straw in the stable. The massive bison's heavy and slow breathing causes the air around the entire neighborhood to rotate softly creating a nice calm breeze in the night. As the moon slowly crawls across the night sky, a shrill high pitched whistle pierces the air. Undetectable to the human ear, but it can be heard by animals. The sound instantly causes Appa's eyes to shoot open, and inside the house Momo awakens as well. A few seconds pass of silence as Appa and Momo look around before the whistle pierces the air again. The sound spurs Appa to roll over to his feet and to quickly take flight, while Momo squirms to get out of Aang's grasp. The flying lemur takes flight a few moments after Appa does but the distance between the two is vast.

The sky bison flies over the wall dividing the upper district and the lower districts, following the shrill sound. Behind him, Momo flies as hard as he can to try to keep up with Appa but he isn't able to close the gap as Appa accelerates towards the noise. As Appa descends towards the ground, Dai Li agents watch from the shadows, on rooftops and behind walls. The bison lands in a wide street, looking between alleyways for the whistle with Momo still flying trying to catch up. Appa turns his head to look down an alleyway where the sound emanates from again, and from the darkness emerges Long Feng. "The boy was wrong to underestimate me." He speaks to Appa, causing the sky bison to growl at him, before he's given a chance to attack as Long Feng does so first. Suddenly, the ground beneath them flips over, and the two vanish into the underbelly of Ba Sing Sei. The only clue to where they could've gone is a single paw print.

Almost a full minute later, Momo flies down and finds the place where Appa had vanished. Dai Li agents are quickly moving to cover up any evidence of earthbending, but the smart little Lemur stays out of their sight. He manages to find a small tuft of fur left behind and makes sure to remember what the place looks like before flying back to the house. He beats his wings as hard as he can through the air, flying as fast as possible. His eyes focused on their home in the distance, his small heart beating rapidly as he dive bombs towards the window. He pays little attention to the fireflies that glitter in the early morning, nor the crickets that sing their songs. As he gets through the window, he finds Aang still fast asleep in his bed. With all his might he tries to wake the young airbender, the lemur paws at his face, licks his hands, grabs him by a finger and tries to take flight but to no avail. Instead, Momo is gently grabbed by Aang and pulled in so he can cuddle the small creature.

As the morning sun pierces through the curtains into Zuko and Jin's room, it reignites Zuko's inner flame and wakes him. For the first time in several years, his dreams were pleasant and restful. Ever since he was banished, each day seemed to be worse than the last. Sure there were pleasant days here and there but those were few and far between. That all changed when he joined Aang Katara and Sokka, his life has been improving and he's grateful for what they've done for him. Now that Jin walked into his life, a little over a month ago now, the only word he can describe their relationship is perfect. He takes a deep breath in and sighs, feeling the warmth of Jin in his arms. A smile grows on his face before he gently kisses the top of her head, his thumb slides against the flawless skin of her breast. She tilts her head up into his chest as she wakes up, a deep yawn overtakes her body as her green eyes open. "Good morning." He says prompting her to turn over to face him, "Sleep well?" He asks, causing a soft smile to grow on her face. She reaches up and wraps her arms around him, the crease in her robes exposing her bare chest to the light. "I slept wonderfully." She replies before tightening their embrace, "Though you got a little handsy, mister." She chastises causing him to smirk.
