"Good catch!" Shang called to his son as he caught the little ball he'd thrown. Ty-Lee sat and watched them play together. Father and son. She'd given birth to their first child almost exactly nine years ago. Yet it felt like just yesterday she'd been pregnant. Pregnant, wasn't there something that happened while she was pregnant? Something bad? "Hey sweetie, you wanna play catch with us?" Shang asked as he ran over. "I don't think so, I'll go inside and start dinner," She said as she stood. "Ok," Shang leaned over giving her a quick kiss on the lips. Something about it though seemed odd. Something wasn't quite right with all this. "Mommy! Mommy! Look at me!" Zender called. Ty-Lee turned to look. He was sitting on his fathers shoulders as Shang ran around like a horse. She laughed. Shang was such a good dad. "If he is a dad. "A voice whispered. What? That didn't make sense, of course he was a dad."Is he?" Ty-Lee's head began to hurt like crazy. She felt dizzy and faint and, something else-blood? Yes, blood was running down her face. "Ty-Lee!" She heard a muffled, far off voice calling to her. It sounded like they were on the other side of a glass wall yelling her name. "Wake-" She couldn't comprehend their words. It was weird. Now she was in a place full of darkness, Shang and her son had disappeared. She was scared. And suddenly, she was pregnant again. Aang's face came slowly into focus. "We haven't beat him yet!" He panted heavily. Then she remembered everything that was going on. She looked around. Aang was carrying her through a thickly wooded area. Mitsuki was no where in sight, and behind them Ty-Lee could hear something tearing through the forest. "Don't worry! I'll get you out of here safe!" She heard Aang yell. Suddenly, from out of no where, Mitsuki jumped out from the trees, right above their heads. She pulled a sword out, it seemed like she pulled it from her sleeve, and landed directly in front of the Great Terror. She swung at him with the sword, gashing it into his side. He growled at her and tried to bite her with his sharp teeth. Pretty soon the spirit was left behind to fight Great Terror as Aang ran away from them. "But what about Mits-" Ty-Lee began weakly. "She'll be fine!" Aang said quickly. "I've got to get you to safety." He said as he was still running. Ty-Lee wiped the sweat from her forehead. But it wasn't sweat. It was blood. Then she remembered, Great Terror had lashed out at her and bit her forehead. That's when she blacked out and had that strange realistic dream of the future. Or was it a dream? She instinctively put a hand to her abdomen to see if she was still pregnant. She was. So it was a dream, she told herself. Finally, they emerged from the thick forest. Aang pulled out from around his neck a bison whistle. He gave it a hard blow and a few minutes later Appa flew over. Aang helped Ty-Lee aboard the saddle and they flew off. "Here, use this to wrap around your head to stop the bleeding," Aang tossed a white piece of cloth back to her. She took it and tied it around her head. She had no idea how big, or deep the wound was, but it gave off a lot of blood and hurt badly. She pressed her eyes closed wishing the pain would leave. "Hmm, probably something pretty to match your pretty face," She remembered the first time Shang told her she was beautiful, all those years ago in that tiny hotel room, with an eleven year old Rayseal. Now Rayseal was eighteen years old and married to Alveras. Time had really flown by. Rayseal giggled. "Yep, isn't she pretty?" Ty-Lee's mind went astray, she remembered when Shang first introduced himself. How Rayseal had taken her to the hotel to see her shell collection. "Why yes, she is very pretty," Shang was so sweet. She missed him terribly. "Excuse me, sorry to bother you miss, but I'm new here and I can't seem to find the hotel, I wonder if you'd know where it is?" She remembered perfectly the day she first saw Shang. He had been looking for the hotel, she had been sulking alone at the restaurant because Haru ran away from her. She chuckled at how stupid she'd been. "You've met? This is my big brother," Ty-Lee ached inside, she missed Shang so much, that's when she realized that by now he'd be home, and probably worried sick, she didn't get the chance to leave him any kind of note or anything, she was kidnapped how could she have?
