KATARA'S POV:
Aang continued to cry above me as I bent his tears away into the ocean. I really needed to give him some advice, but I had no idea what to say.
I decided to try. "Aang?" He looked down at me, and I stopped his tears in mid air, throwing them back into the deep blue sea.
"You know, a wise person once told me: 'Let your anger out, then let it go.' I think you should do the same, but with your sadness. You have 5 more minutes to cry, then we have to go back to the meeting before Zuko sends a search party to look for us."
I saw the corner of his lips twitch upwards, and for the first time since last night, I saw Aang smile. "Thank you, Tara. But I don't need 5 minutes. I'll talk to Roku later," he said. I smiled. "Good, progress. Now let's go, I'm actually worried about the search party thing." Aang smiled again, and I did the same.
I stood up and held out my hand to Aang, and he grabbed it and we both brushed the sand off of each other. Aang held my hand and we made out way back to the Palace.
"Open the hell up before I get you all fired," Aang said. I could tell he was still angry, but he was keeping it under control. Let's just hope that that general dude doesn't anger Aang, for his sake.
The doors opened, and Aang and I walked inside, all the way to the meeting room. I knocked on the door. "It's Kat. I found him," I said. I dropped Aang's hand as the doors opened, and we walked inside and sat down, me next to Mai and Aang to my left.
"Ok, then, cancel the search party," Zuko said. I smiled. Of course. "For me or her?" Aang asked. "Both." Aang and I snorted.
"Ok, all you missed is that we ended up naming it Yue Bay, along with the Spirit Oasis, right?" Mai asked me. "Yeah." Mai nodded. "Good. We're just finishing up, then another meeting in an hour," she whispered. I groaned silently so no one could hear. Mai nodded and rolled her eyes as she leaned back to Zuko.
"So, what's last, Sir?" the guy who Zuko spoke out against asked. His name is actually General Bujing, so I'mma just call him that now.
"Just, uhm, what we.... Aang, dude, why?" I gave Zuko a confused look and he handed me a paper, which I read and gave to Aang. It said what to do when Ursa comes.
"Zuko, I didn't write that," he said, handing the paper back to me. "Oh, babe, I did. Azula wanted to know what we would do," Mai said, looking at the paper as I handed it to the Firelord.
"Oh. Well, it says what we would do when Ursa comes. When we find her, I me-"
"Firelord Zuko, there's a messenger hawk for you," a guard says, coming into the room. I saw the sun start to come up, so I knew it wasn't Yue. I looked at the hawk again, and saw something... odd.
It was a blue feather under his wing. Where was that from? And why was it so familiar? I watched as the bird flew closer and closer to Zuko, until he landed in front of me and sat on the map table.
"What?" I asked. "Or for Master Katara. Either works," the guard said as he exited the room. I looked at the blue feather and my eyes widened.
"Hey, isn't that the feather you and Toph put on Hawky before he left?" Aang asked. I nodded. "Yeah, it- wait, how do you know?" He chuckled. "I was watching you. I didn't want Sokka to attack you for no reason when he realized Hawky was gone." I smiled as I took the note from the red pouch, holding it in my hands.
"Uhh, Zuko, you might wanna read this..." I said, handing the Firelord the note. He took it in his hands and read it, dropping the paper when he did.
"No..." he said, dumbfounded. "There's no way...." Aang looked worried. "What's wrong? Is everything ok? Did someone die?" I shook my head as I handed him the note.
"Oh, shit," he muttered, rubbing the bridge of his nose. I rubbed up and down his back as he handed the note to Mai, who groaned and gave me the note again.
"Is everything ok, Sir?" someone asked. There was only one thing I could say. And it was Ursa.
"Guys," Toph said, bolting the door open. We all turned to look at her. "Suki's missing."

Random: You're like a hug that lasts longer than it should, but it doesn't enter that awkward stage, like, 'Ok, that's enough now,' it's more like, 'I did not expect this much love.'
Have an awesome day! (791 words)
Much love xx -Ema
