'What about this waterbendingbag, you like it?'
'Don't you think it's a bit to dark?'
'That one is a bit lighter.'
'Thanks Aang, I'll take it and it only costs ¥15!'

After they paid they start looking for Sokka, Toph and Mai.
But on the way to them they had an interesting conversation.

'So... uhm... can I ask you something?'
'Sure Aang!'
'When the war ended we kissed... are we a thing now?'
'Oh Aang... I... I'm not really thinking about that.'
'It's only been 4 days when the war ended, and I'm a bit confused.'

When I said those words Aang took a step closer to me and kissed me.

'What are you doing!?'

I threw him on the ground and ran away.

'Katara... wait!'
'I'M SUCH AN IDIOT!'

Aang felt stupid.
And Zuko too.
He knew he did something wrong.
At that moment Zuko went inside the prison to see what happenend, when he came inside he saw all his guards defeated. But one could speak easily and said:

'Az...Azu..Azula es... escaped...'
'What?!'

I knew that's what happened but I was still shocked. I ran through the hole in the wall and looked but Azula was long gone. So I went to see my father Ozai but he was still in his cell.

When Azula escaped,
Toph was still having fun shopping.

'Maybe this one, he's beautiful.'
'Sokka, I have a tactic to find the perfect one.'
'How?'
'You may want to take a step back.'
'Oh ok..'

Sokka went back at a safe distance like Toph said.
Then Toph lifted her left foot and smashed it on the ground.
The whole shop was shaking and every hawk got scared, except for one.'

'That's it, that's my hawk.'

And she pointed her index finger in the direction of the brave hawk.

'Toph, that was AWESOME!'
'Thanks.'

Just a minute later Katara came,
and she was VERY angry.

'Katara what's wrong?'
'I want to go home, NOW!'
'But we gotta find Mai and Aang first.'
'Mai is in the weapon shop and Aang will be here in 10 seconds.'
'Did I ever said how helpful it is that you can see by your feet?!'
'You can say it more often.'

They found Mai and Aang came. Together they went to Appa.

'Katara I would like to apologise for that kiss...'
'Just leave me alone Aang!'
'What happened between you?'
'SHUT UP SOKKA!!'
'Alright...'

The ride home was quit.

'Finally home!'
'I'm at my room!'
'Twinkle toes, what did you do?'
'I don't want to talk about it.'
'C'mon, you can say anything to us.'
'Thanks Sokka, but I don't want to tell.'
'Zuko is coming but he seems to be in a hurry, I'll already open the door.'

A few moments later Zuko came in.
Very tired but he made alot of noise.

'Huh huh... Azu....huh...pff...A..Az.'
'Hold on, take a deep breath.'

A few seconds later

'Azu.. Azula escaped, humpf...'
'We gotta find her!'
'No, Aang, I know where she is and I go talk to her!'
'What?!?' 'Zuko, she's crazy!'
'Leave it Sokka, I'm going alone!'
'No, you're not!'

It was Mai, she looked very serieus.

'Mai?'
'Yes, I want to talk to her too!'
'Alright then we'll go together.'
'Uhm, Zuko... if you wanted to go alone, then why did you came to us?'
'I kinda wanna borrow Appa?'
'I'm fine with it.'
'Now go before she's at another place!'

Zuko and Mai took Appa and left to Ember Island.
Zuko thinks that Azula is at their old vacation house. And he was right, Azula was standing there, in the middle of the room looking at us.
She was expecting us.

'Azula, what are you doing here?!'
'I could ask the same thing to you my dear brother, oh I see you brought your girlfriend with you.'
'We're not dating anymore Azula.'
'You know Zuzu, father lied to you, he does know what happened to mom, to bad you'll never find out, he has probaly escaped by now.'
'What, that's impossible!'
'Why would I lie about that?'

While she said that,
She had this weird sneaky look in her eyes...
I had no idea what to think of her...

'Because you're crazy!'

I saw that Mai was truly mad at Azula.

'And you're depressing Mai.'
'I!m not crazy am just a great actor!'

She started laughing very loudly.
She loved to frustrate us.

'Wait... you acted that?!'
'Yes I knew I would escape.'
'How did you know?'

When I asked that question Azula was silent. Mai didn't know what to do...
But I got frustrated with her.

'ANSWER ME!'
'Don't be so mad at me Zuzu... after all we are brother and sister...'
'Stop with your games Azula, tell me what you're doing here!'
'I'm thinking about the past, about OUR mother.'

There was a moment of silence.
Until...

'YOU TOOK HER AWAY FROM ME!'
'YOU TOLD HER TO HATE ME!'

Azula was angry and sad at the same time, it was so creepy yet so  pathetic and depressing.

'I DIDN'T DO THAT, YOU DID IT YOURSELF!'
'SHE SAID I WAS A MONSTER, THAT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!'

Then very unexpected, the emotions got to much for Azula and...

TZZRT!
BANG!

Mai got hit by lightning in her stomach.

'NOO!'
'MAI!'

Mai fell down. She was hurt very bad.  I shot a huge fireball from anger at Azula which threw her through the wall to the outside.

Next chapter will start with Zuko being mad.
