Zuko's Baby Sister

Chapter Nineteen

"It's pricey but, I like it..." Sokka said looking at a green bag. I sighed and traced Aang's exposed forehead arrow. He smiled down at me and I blushed softly. I grabbed his hand and led him out of the shop.

"Ardema."

"Aang."

"Where are we going?" I smiled and pointed to the cliff. "No."

"But.."

"Not right now love." I pout with big eyes only for him to avoid my gaze. I groan then grab his glider and run. I burst out laughing before running into a very big guy and falling on my butt.

"Every single time." I mumbled. The guy's muscles flexed as he towered over me before he lifted me up by sending earth up around me my eyes widen in slight fear.

"Watch it. The Boulder doesn't take kindly to little girls interrupting his fan session." I nodded then he grabbed my arm roughly. "Tiny little girl." I whine out.

"I'm sorry." He shoved me back then walked away. I ran back to Aang and the others to see Aang not with them.

"Hey Ardema? Are you okay?" Sokka asked touching my arm. I wince back and nodded softly.

"Ehhh, he's not the one." Aang said coming up to us. He beats his right ear, causing sand to fall out of his left ear. I smiled softly.

    "I think The Boulder's going to win back the belt at Earth Rumble VI." A student says coming out beside his friend. The boulder can kiss my flames. I've never been that scared before and I don't know why.

    "He's going to have to fight his way through the best earthbenders in the world to get a shot at the champ." Aang overhears their conversation and runs after them.

    "Excuse me, but where is this earthbending tournament, exactly?"

    "It's on the island of Noneya ... "Noneya" business!" The students laugh and walk away as Aang looks on disappointed. Sokka walks up to Aang laughing while Katara and I glare at the boys while walking up.

    "Oh, I got to remember that one!"

    "I'll take care of this. Hey, strong guys! Wait up!" Katara says knowing I can't expose myself here. She runs after the students around a corner.

    "What was I thinking? I don't need a new bag! Why did you let me buy this?" He puts the bag down and crosses his arms in front of his chest. Momo hops off his shoulder, into the bag. He turns around inside of it and settles down, closing his eyes.

"Love are you okay? You've been holding your arm since I got back." Aang asked coming over. I nodded and handed him his glider.

"Just fell...really hard...might be broken." His eyes widened and he grabs my arm inspecting it. Katara comes running back.

    "You ready- wait why is your arm bent like that?!"

"I fell. Hard. Rocks and not being a steady air bender with a glider." She pulled out some water and begins to heal my arm.

"It's not working so it must be broken. Hold on." Her and Sokka run to the store on the corner.

"Why are you lying? What happened?"

"Nothing. I just should've used some fire or something to soften my fall I guess." He eyes me for a moment before the siblings come back. I felt Katara wrap my arm up tightly.

"So as I was saying Aang, you ready to find an earthbending teacher? Because we're going to Earth Rumble VI!"

    "How'd you get them to tell you?"
