After many walking and situations hitting us. We keep walking. Zuko left us in anger for a while but came back not talking about his journey.

He was very upset and said he'd never be accepted anywhere. Something about meeting a little boy that reminded him of his past.

We decided not to talk about it. So we started to go make a journey into an underground.

Somewhere below Ba Sing Se, so we wouldn't be noticed.

The place was poor "Let's sit here" Zuko said. I sat down between Uncle and Zuko.

"Are you okay?" Zuko asked.

I nodded and yawned at the same time "Yes but I have been feeling tired lately, I don't know why"

As I said that I noticed 3 kids spying on us. One in particular brought his eyes to mine... some kid with something in his mouth.

"Zuko, I think we might have some company" I said looking at the, Zuko turned to what I was at.

The kid then smoothly walked to us "Hey dude remember me?" Zuko gave the kid an ugly look.

"Sure" he said rudely. He looked at me and smiled "Well I haven't met you but I would be glad to, my name is Jet-"

Zuko got in the way and pushed him away. He stood up and walked with him. They talked.

"This tea is so cold and sad, what disgrace" Iroh said sadly. He then started a little fire to heat it "Uncle!" I whispered loudly.

Zuko was behind me and smacked the tea from him "Uncle what is your problem? The boy saw you! As a wise old man you should know that!"

Iroh looked at the spilled tea sadly "I know I shouldn't cry but it's so sad to see spilled tea"

We then got on the train and went into Ba Sing Se. Uncle said something about getting a job at some tea place, of course.

As we were working I couldn't help but keep wondering that someone was watching us in the trees.

"Hello little lady, may I have some of your good tea" the man smiled.

Him and several other earth soldiers came into the restaurant. I smiled and went into the kitchen.

"Zuko" I whispered.

He quickly came to me "What's gong on?" He said making tea.

"I think someone is spying on us. I have a weird feeling" I said looking around.

Iroh was talking to the soldiers as they screamed "We'd like to be served by the pretty lady back there!" Iroh smiled and looked at me to hurry.

"Listen, don't get wild but just stay alert" I said walking away "Be careful" Zuko whispered.

I got the teas and served them all happily. Talking to them about me as they as flirtatious questions.

I had to stay on high alert. I looked around to see maybe the soldiers were on to us but they all seemed pretty tired and chilling.

Then a boy came in with 2 swords. The same boy from the underground.

"These guys are fire benders!" He shouted.
