Shoes clicked along the rooftops as the girl panted, looking back over her shoulder every now and then.When she saw nothing she momentarily paused, squatting with a huff, her hands going to the choker around her neck. It replaced the old one she had, this one being a bright blue, studs decorating the edges until it met with a dark blue crystal flower. 

A smile decorated her face as she absentmindedly traced the petals, the crystal nice and soft against her fingertips. It was a new habit she picked up rather quickly after getting it, just tracing the petal tips and smiling. Remembering all the events that lead up to this moment, all the heartache, all the turmoil- all the shit she was as of right now. The ground shook below her, the now 16 year old being thrown into full gear as she took of running once more.  

Oh she was in so much trouble if she was caught. So, so, so much trouble. But at this point, she didn't care, her heart was set on the delicious pastries she was craving.  She skipped a meeting, lunch with her fiance, a spa day with their commanding general, and probably a bunch of other stuff she was supposed to do with her brother. Oh well. 

A wall of rock soon erupted in between the gap of the house she was on and the next one, but it was quickly diminished with a swipe of her hand.  She continued running, her destination in sight. She was soooo close. She could practically taste it. And it tasted sweet.  Another obstacle was thrown in her way, this time a thing of ice directed towards her feet. 

It once again was an easy dodge, the teen flipping over it, using a burst of air to hurdle herself to the next roof. This was the last roof between her and her delicious sweets.  If she had a tail it would for sure be wagging by now. 

She was nearing the edge of the last roof, the last thing between her and her dessert. 

She was going to have her cake and eat it too, dammit! 

With a final flip, the girl prepped herself to land, deeming this a victory for herself. She'd get her sweet, make a swift exit, and reappear by dinner, where she would, ya, get a scolding, but get off mostly scot free. Most likely. Maybe. 

Depends what mood Aang's in.

She yelped when she was not met with the ground, but she was caught in a pair of arms, a deep chuckle escaping her captor. "You didn't really think you'd get far, did you?" 

She huffed, blowing a strand of fawn hair out of her face. "I just wanted a cinnamon bun!" 

A whine escaped her as several more people surrounded her.  

"You do know the royal chefs could prepare you one, right?" A raven with a scar over his eye, top knot in his hair, stepped up, brow raised. 

"You kNow- Shut it, Zuko." Asha mocked from her place in Aang's arms.  She was quickly set down, which was a mistake on his part as she once again took off, headed for the bakery's entrance.It was only a rough tug on her shirt collar that stopped her, another chuckle coming from Aang. 

"Come on, we've been dating for four years, I know how you think, love."  He smirked while she looked to him, a pout on her lips. 

Another male spoke up, "You skipped our monthly spa visit for this?" Sokka whined, gesturing to the bakery behind them.

"And a meeting with the royal guard."  The raven male, Zuko, crossed his arms. A female soon came up beside Zuko, kissing his cheek and smiling up at him, the choker around her neck gleaming in the sunlight. 

"To be completely fair, this bakery is absolutely remarkable." Katara chirped, watching as Asha looked up, a pout on her lips, eyes wide.

"That good, eh?"  Aang looked down to her, biting the corner of his mouth as she gave him puppy eyes.
