"Zuko I love you but I've just got to say, your sister is mad" Cordelia said watching as Sokka and Katara tried taking her down "I think your right" Zuko said as Misu tried stopping the two "no don't do this! The avatar is trying to bring the spirit here, you mustn't cause a disturbance" Misu said "she's right" Aang said standing up as they all paused what they were doing "your back" Zuko said walking up to him "whew, it's just you Aang, this forest is so creepy I half expected another creepy-face" Sokka said letting out a sigh of relief.

"You mean those?" Aang said pointing at the water as a spirit rose "wow, she's gorgeous" Cordelia said staring up at her "I am the mother of faces, through me separateness comes into the owls. Through me comes identity" the spirit said "I wan a generous spirit, softhearted and kind" she said "maybe she knows where my mother is" Zuko whispered to Aang "spirits know a lot of things we should definitely ask" Aang whispered back.

"Each season I grant one favor to one human, you may make your wish now human" she said "that's not good" Cordelia said "wait just one?" Aang asked "one" the spirit repeated "who's wish are we going to give up?" Cordelia asked staring at Aang as he gave her a look and tried convincing the spirit for 2 wishes "they've waited for so long, If there's only one it should be theirs" Zuko said making way for Misu before Azula ran past him to ask the spirit her question.

"Your such a constant disappointment Zuzu, even when your strong your weak!" Azula said "she escaped us" Sokka said "we seek a princess of the fire nation named Ursa, tell me where to find her!" Azula demanded "Ursa I remember her. I could not understand why a human of such beauty would ask for a new face, to test her sincerity I offered her one as plain as can be. She accepted" the spirit said showing their mothers face "that's Noriko!" Zuko said surprised.

"Azula our mother is-" Zuko said turning to his sister only to not see her "she's gone" Sokka informed "I know exactly where she's going- back to Hira'a back to Norens house!" Zuko said running towards the direction Azula went "you're trying to get back to the fire nation town just outside the forest? Theres a shortcut this way" Misu said pointing at a path "thank you" Zuko said before running through the path "hold on Zuko!" Sokka called out as he and Cordelia ran up to him "I know sisters can be such a pain and mine isn't even crazy, your gonna need back up" Sokka said "there might be something wrong with Azula up there I'll have to check her out" Cordelia added winking.

"It's so quiet" Sokka said as they reached the house "too quiet" Zuko said peeping through the window "maybe Azula hasn't arrived yet, she didn't know the shortcut we did" Cordelia suggested "is everything okay in there?" Sokka asked "yes, there Fine just having dinner" Zuko said relieve as Cordelia and Sokka looked at each other "...how about you go inside just in case, Sokka and I will wait out here" Cordelia said pushing Zuko towards the door "are you sure you'll be fine out here?" He asked holding her hand "I'll be fine, go talk to your mother if you can" she said as her hair turned white.

"Your a good girlfriend" Sokka said breaking the silence "I love Zuko, and if talking to his mother makes him happy then I'm happy" she said sitting on a tree trunk before spotting Azula at a distance.

"Sorry we let her through" Cordelia said falling down into the room with Sokka and Azula "You! Finally! I can't tell you how long I've dreamed of this moment" Azula sa d towering over her mother "that is no way to talk to your mother!" Cordelia said using the water tentacle to grab unto Azula "how could you stoop so low for a snow peasant, I preferred Mai better Zuzu" Azula said bored "you do realize I'm royalty right?!" Cordelia asked angrily unconsciously releasing the water on Azula "whoops" she said putting her hand behind her.

Some time later

"That was a mess" Cordelia said as the sun rose "we'll need to keep our guard up, sooner or later Azula is going to turn up again" Katara said "Cordelia you're in love with a guy with crazy family members" Sokka said twirling his hand beside his head "your not wrong...but I like it, I'll go check up on Zuko and the family" She said waving them off as she walked towards the house "there you are Cordelia" Zuko said running towards her "is something wrong?" She asked "nope, Cordelia this is my mom, mom this is Cordelia my girlfriend and hopefully soon my wife" Zuko said before Cordelia smacked him with a flushed face.

"It's a pleasure to see you again, please stay with my son and keep him out of trouble" Ursa said smiling at her "I plan on it, but if he does what Ozai did to you...there will be problems" Cordelia warned.
