Chapter Four

Flashback 8 years ago
"Do you know what dibs means?" Mai asked while crossing her arms as she was leaning against the doorway.
"What?" Estella asked confused.
"I'm hanging out with Azula and moms forcing me to take you along. That also means I'm visiting her brother Zuko as well. Dibs means I saw him first so I get to have him first,"
"Okay whatever. I much rather stay here,"
"Our parents aren't home which is why I'm forced to tasks you. They went out now come on let's go," she says voice void of emotions before leaving the door.
Estella groaned before quickly getting dressed and walking out the door with her sister.
••••••••
Mai had knocked on the large door of the palace. The two sisters were standing there with a somewhat awkward silence before it opened. what Estella saw shocked her to the core, it was a handsome boy whose hair was pulled back into a ponytail, he had honey colored eyes that looked exhausted, and he was slim but Estella could see that he was muscular underneath. A blush made its way to her face as Zuko was looking at her in Confusion.
"Mai what are you doing here this time of night? Who is this?"
"Zuko, this is my sister Estella, Estella this is Zuko. Azula invited me over I brought her because my mom wasn't home,"
"I..... see we'll come on in then," he says opening the door wider as Estella giggles when He was looking over at her up and down.
"Nice to meet you Prince Zuko, it's no wonder my sister is so smitten with you," Estella says winking as Mai pinched her on the arm. "Owww," she whines causing Zuko to laugh.
Present day
A knock was heard at her door waking her up from her sleep.
"Come in," she says while yawning.
Zuko came in with a small smile on his face seeing as how she just woke up from her nap.
"Like my new addition? I was thinking about giving it to father when we come back," Zuko says a proud smile on his face showing Estella Aang's glider.
"Looks nice Prince Zuko,"
"What's wrong?" He asks noticing her discomfort.
"Its just..... Once we go back my sister will go for you or at least try to. I'm going to have a competition and I don't know if I can compete against her. She always hated me with you,"
Zuko chuckled as he walked over towards her and lifted her chin with his finger.
"Is that what your worried about? Why would I go back to Mai when I have you? I'll always have you," he whispers the last part as Estella's heart thumped in her chest when he began leaning in.
"THE AVATAR HAS ESCAPED!" A guard yelled ruining the moment as Zuko growled.
"Stay here," Zuko says leaving the room and closing the door shut.
A lot of fighting and shouting later the door busted open to reveal the Avatar.
"My staff!" Aang says excited but stopped as he heard giggling.
"Hey there kid you forgot about me,"
"I could never forget about a beautiful lady like you Estella," Aang flirted causing her to giggle again. "Would a beautiful girl let me pass?"
"Sorry but no," she says serious before throwing a knife from under her pillow.
Aang screamed before dodging it and when he looked back he saw Estella coming at him with a sword. He barley blocked it with his staff as he pushed her back and threw a gust of wind at her causing her to scream and hit the back of her wall hard before passing out.
"Oh God I'm so sorry,"
"WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Zuko shouted upset and panting as he threw fire at Aang.
Aang spinner his staff around to avoid his oncoming attacks.
"I DIDNT MEAN TOO! SHE WAS COMING AT ME!"
Zuko kept blasting at Aang as Aang barley dodges his attacks. He creates a sphere and runs past him but before Zuko could follow a moan was heard as he turned to see Estella waking up.
"Zuko?" She moans weakly as Zuko ran over to her to help her up.
"You okay?" He asked worried.
"Yeah just banged my head a little. Come on let's catch him," she says before he nods as the two ran after the avatar.
When the reached the deck Aang was fixing to take off in his glider, but before he could Estella being faster grabbed onto his foot.
"ESTELLA NO!" Zuko shouted just as Aang looked down at her.
"Glad your alright but can you let go?"
"NO!" She shouted just as they crashed back into the deck.
Estella came at Aang with her sword. She was swift and fast as Aang barley dodged her attacks. He kept backing up to try and dodge her attack, but he was already at the edge of the boat. He looked down to see the water below him.
"Sorry sweetie but I can't let you go," she says pulling her arm with the sword back as she was going to stab him, but Aang fell overboard but not before grabbing Estella along with him.
"ESTELLA! AANG!" Both Zuko and the water tribe girl known as Katara shouted as they both plummeted below the surface.
