LOST (Avatar The Last Airbender Fanfiction) (Zuko x OC)

B3CH19&B3CH20 - Sozin's Comet #2 The Old Master & #3 Into the Inferno

"Hey, I remember her!" Sokka said to Zuko "She helped you attack us!"

"Yup." Zuko said "Back in the good old days."

Yoko and June approached them "Oh great. It's Prince Pouty." June said "Where's your creepy grandpa?"

"He's my uncle. And he's not here." Zuko responded.

"I see you worked things out with your girlfriend." June said as she looked at Katara. Zuko, Yoko and Katara became flustered and embarrassed, looking at each other as they spoke at the same time.

"I'm not his girlfriend!"

"She's not my girlfriend!"

"I am his girlfriend!"

"Okay, okay. Sheesh. I was only teasing." June said, then turned to Yoko "You're dating him? So I'm gonna be his sister-in-law, eh?"

Zuko's eyes widened "What?! You two are sisters?!"

"No," Yoko responded "I really wished she was but we're not related."

"But we look alike," June continued "And we're actually alike, so what's wrong if I see her as my little sis? Anyway, what do you want?"

"I need you help finding the Avatar." Zuko answered.

"Hm. Doesn't sound too fun." June said as she sipped her tea "But I'll help for Shin... I mean Yoko."

They got out of the tavern. Appa and Nyla, the shirshu, were growling at each other. Appa licked Nyla, then they laid down but they both stood up as the gang and June walked towards them. June held a piece of meat, shaking it "Nyla," she said as she threw the meat to the shirshu. It caught the meant in its mouth and ate it. June walked up to it and started petting it "Who's my little, hmm, Snuffly-Wuffly?" she said. Nyla stuck its toxins-coated tongue out and she dodged it, forced his mouth closed "Whoa! Careful there." she said and turned to Team Avatar "Okay. So who's got something with the Avatar's scent on it?"

Katara pulled out Aang's glider from Appa's saddle "I have Aang's staff." she said. June approached and held the staff out in front of Nyla. He sniffed it then began to walk around in circles, trying to sniff the scent out somewhere else. It returned to June and continued sniffing. Then Nyla lied back down and covered its nose.

"Well, what does that mean?" Zuko asked.

"Means your friend's gone." June responded.

"We know he's gone." Toph said "That's why we're trying to find him."

"No, I mean he's gone gone." June explained, turning to face everyone else "He doesn't exist."

Yoko frowned "What do you mean Aang doesn't exist?" she asked "Do you mean he's... dead?"

"Nope. We could find him if he were dead. Wow, it's a real head-scratcher. See ya." June said and started climbing on top of Nyla.

"Helpful." Toph said, sarcastically "Really helpful."

"Wait, I have another idea!" Zuko said to June "There's only one other person in this world who can help us face the Fire Lord. I'll be right back with a smell sample."

A few moments later he came back with a sandal. The members of Team Avatar were holding their noses in disgust, except for Zuko and Toph. Zuko looked embarrassed "You saved your uncle's sweaty sandal? Ugh!" Sokka said as he pinched his nose even tighter.

Toph smiled "I think it's kind of sweet."

Nyla sniffed the sandal "Let's do this." June said, determined. Then she ran off Nyla.
