Save Time- Book One: Water

CH Three: Lullabies

The siblings and I were flying finally, and we came to save Aang from the prince with the horrible hair cut.

'Every time I see it, I just want to walk up behind him and say "I like you cut, G" while necking him. No offense but he deserved it, because that hair cut is just horrible,' I shivered.

"So...Jasmine."
"Don't speak to me unless it's either business or you're going to be nice to me on your own free will."
"Hmph!"

Sokka crossed his arms and mumbled to himself while I searched for the ship, which didn't take long. Aang was avoiding Zuko's fire bursts barely, but one landed on him and blew him into the water. I seethed and took out my scythe though I knew that was meant to pass.

"AANG!" Katara and I yelled.

Instantly, a whirlpool was formed and the bald boy waterbended out of there and wiped out the majority of everyone off the ship. He entered the Avatar State. Even in front of my eyes, it is beautiful and astonishing.

"Woah!"
"Did you see what he just did?!"
"Now that's some waterbending!"

The excitement was over when he fell. I didn't wait until Appa properly landed to run to him.

"Aang, you ok? How many fingers am I holding up?"
"Aang, are you ok?" Katara asked sitting beside me while Sokka sat on the other side.

"Hey Katara. Hey Jasmine. Hey Sokka. Thanks for coming."
"Well, I couldn't let you have all the fun."
"I dropped my staff."
"Got it!"

Sokka and I ran to the staff. Sokka grabbed it the same time Zuko did. When his head was there, that memey side of me just couldn't resist.

"Wait! Stay there, I've always wanted to do this!"

I ran towards him and leaned where the back of his neck is.

"I like ya cut, G!" I yelled smacking the back of that shiny bald head so hard that the iceberg trembles, and Sokka didn't need to bunk his head.

Sokka kneeled over cackling while I felt proud of myself. I was the first to neck Zuko, and his reaction made it worth my while.

"Katara!"
'Oh right, the part where Sokka's feet is frozen to the ground.'

I used the staff end of my scythe to pick at the ice faster, which worked. We ran on the bison.

'I should stretch more often; I feel like the Tin-Man that needs oil in the joints.'

As we flew, a fireball sped towards us. I sighed in relief when Aang redirected it. The rest of the flight was smooth sailing from there other than the three talking about the waterbending and Avatar business. I just sat there and closed my eyes during the whole conversation until my name is being brought up.

"And Jasmine... do you have anywhere to go?"
"No."
"Wait, you have nowhere to call home?"

I shook my head, and faced the clouds clenching the sleeve of my coat. I got nothing on me but my mini-backpack hidden in my trench coat and my weapons.

"Then you can stay here with us."
"I would like that..."
"Then we're in this together," Katara smiled at me for the first time, and I couldn't help but do so back.

Aang began ranting on all the places he want to go after the Southern Air Temple while I zoned out looking at the clouds. There is not much to do when you're riding on the bison, so I decided to meditate.

'I need to stack up on some word puzzles or something.'

I felt burning holes on my right and opened one eye to see blue eyes staring at me.
