The Bender of Two Elements (On Hiatus)

Chapter 1:The Beginning

It was an ordinary sunny day in New York City, but what I didn't know was that I was about to have an adventure of a lifetime.

I was riding my usual public transit bus to school, with my headphones on. I was listening to a Shawn Mendes song, thinking about that seriously awesome show, Avatar: The Last Airbender. I was suddenly startled with the loud honking of a horn. The bus suddenly swerved and I saw a glimpse of a large white truck coming right at us. The next thing I knew, we had crashed into the truck! All I remembered after that was hearing the glass shattering in the front windows and flying across the bus with the impact of the collision.

I woke up sinking, slowly drowning. The water I was in was startlingly cold, and...wait water???! I suddenly came to my senses and struggled to get back to the surface. I heard a splash to my left, and strong hands suddenly gripped my waist and brought me back to the surface. The person laid me down onto the floor, said something I couldn't hear, and then I blacked out.

-A Couple Hours Later-

I woke up to the sound of someone with a low, slightly scratchy voice talking to another person with a slow, calming sort of voice.

"We don't know who she is!" said the first one.

"Relax, Prince Zuko. What are you going to do, throw her overboard?" the other one chuckled.

Wait...Zuko? As in Zuko the banished fire nation prince? I suddenly shot out of the bed I was lying in and saw, right before my eyes, Zuko and his uncle Iroh. As excited as I was, all of those thoughts went straight out of my head when I remembered what happened a while ago.

"W-where am I? How did I get here? Who rescued me from the water??" I bombarded them with questions.

Iroh looked rather bemused while Zuko was quite flustered.

"Let us begin by telling us your name, my dear" said Iroh.

"Tiffany Stanford" I said.

"What kind of name is Tiffany? And what kind of clothes is that?" grumbled Zuko.

Self consciously, I looked down at my (not intentionally) ripped denim shorts, red tank, and trademark tinted sunglasses hanging down the front. Its a miracle they haven't drifted off when I was in the water. I tugged at my shorts.

"What? Whats wrong with them?" I asked.

"Its just...You don't look like you belong to any of the nations. You hair and complexion looks fire nation, but you have blue eyes that only belong to the water tribe. Your shoes are in the earth nation style. Where are you from?" Zuko asked, looking rather suspicious.

At that moment, I had to decide whether I should tell them the truth or lie about who I am.

"Umm... I'm from Kangaroo Island" I lied. "My parents died when I was young so I live with my Aunt." That part was not a lie. They died in a car crash when I was four years old, so I lived with my cousin's family ever since.

Zuko didn't look like he believed me, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"Zuko, it is time for you training session. Miss Tiffany, would you like to come?" asked Iroh.

"Just Tiffany is fine thanks. " I said with a grin. "And yeah, I would love to come!"

Watching Zuko firebend was amazing. Seeing it on the show was cool, but in real life...it was just awesome. Zuko made sharp stances and jets of fire would fly out from his fists. A little while later, their session ended with Zuko enraged and Iroh calmly sipping a cup of tea.

"Tiffany, would you like to come back in for some tea?" asked Iroh.

I smiled. "No thanks, I just want to stay out here and think for a bit." I said.

Iroh and Zuko left the deck of the ship and I was alone, staring at the waves. Just for fun, I tried out one of Zuko's firebending moves. I made a fist with both hands, brought them around my body, pushed them out, and imagined a jet of flames coming out of my hands.

Suddenly, I was overwhelmed with a blast of warmth around me and I saw a small blast of fire come out from my fists. Shocked, I suddenly heard a teacup breaking to my right.

"You-you're a firebender??!!" exclaimed Zuko.
