*A/N: There will be a LOT of jumping from POV to POV in this chapter. Also more pictures. I like pictures :)*

Zuko's POV

Now, we're heading towards the Fire Nation.

"Aren't you cold?" Mai asks.

"I've got a lot on my mind. It's been so long, over three years since I was home. I wonder what's changed. I wonder how I've changed."

She lets out a yawn. "I just asked if you were cold, I didn't ask for your whole life story."

I frown at her response.

She holds my face in her hands

She holds my face in her hands.

"Zuko, stop worrying." 

She gives me a kiss on my cheek before leaving. 

Things are finally looking up for me. The Avatar is gone, and my father will shower me with his love. I will be treated like a prince again. Everything is perfect.

But Y/N...isn't by my side. I know we were only together for a short time, but she made a huge impact on me. For the first time since my mom, I was happy, and she was the reason why.

And Uncle...

No, I can't think about that now. Not when everything is going so well. I can't keep dwelling on the past when the future is bright.

Y/N's POV

Poor Aang. He just woke up, but he moved way too quickly and passed right back out. We're all around him...just waiting for him to wake up again. 

He slowly opens his eyes and sits up

He slowly opens his eyes and sits up. Katara hands him a robe. He thanks her before speaking.

"Why are we on a Fire Nation ship? Why is everyone dressed this way? And why am I the only one who's completely out of it?" 

Katara reaches out to Aang. "You need to take it easy, okay? You got hurt pretty bad."

Sokka adds, "Yeah, a lot's happened since you were last awake...well, fully awake that is."
