******Chpt 2- The Journey Begins*******

Katara stood on the ship's deck watching the waves crash along the side of the ship. She hadn't been gone for more than a day, and she already felt empty and alone without Aang and Sokka. She began thinking about that day when all this began and how everything has changed so much in two short years.
"Who would have thought two years ago that the war would finally be over and the Avatar would be my boyfriend?" Katara thought to herself. "Aang... my boyfriend.." The thought made a smile come across her face. Her thoughts then drifted back to the day she first met Aang. He was just a little boy.. so full of life and innocence and all he wanted to do was play games... Now only two years later he is known as Avatar Aang, he saved the world, nearly mastered all four elements, and is now the love of her life. He'd grown up so much in such a short time. She'd grown up alot herself. She's now a master waterbender, has traveled all around the world, fought in the biggest battle to save the world, and has made so many new friends along the way.
"Ms. Katara, I just thought I'd inform you that we have just passed Kyoshi Island, and we should be at the southern watertribe by dusk tomorrow evening." Caption Kotori's voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Thank you Caption for informing me." Katara smiled. His nice gestures and informing Katara about things made the trip very pleasant and welcoming. "You've been very nice to me the whole time I've been here. I will be sure to send Zuko a letter complimenting your staff and yourself on making the journey a very pleasurable one."

"Thank you Ms.Katara. It is my honor to be able to assist such a valiant warrior and hero of the world." The Captian complimented while bowing in respect to Katara. Katara bowed in return, smiling proudly at the compliment she had just received.

Back in the Firenation, Aang and Sokka flew on Appa scouting for any signs of Azula.
"See anything?" Aang asked Sokka who was peering through some binoculars the Mechanist had given him as a reward for helping save the world.
"Nothing yet!" Sokka yelled over the wind that was blowing through them as they flew on. "
There are no signs of firebending, fights, or anything. I don't even see guards anywhere! It's like she never escaped." Sokka continued as he Placed the binoculars aside.
"Maybe we should land in that small village over there and ask the residence if they have seen or heard anything about Azula." Aang suggested pointing to a small firenation village on the coastline.
"Good idea..." Sokka agreed. "We might not want to go in there as ourselves though. Remember Zuko told us that there are many loyalists who are not happy about the Harmony Restoration Movement. They might not give us any information because we're the people who started all this."

"Oh yeah... That's true. You know I don't care what people say about you Sokka. You are pretty smart sometimes." Aang complimented.
"Eh.. What can I say? I'm just awesome like that." Sokka boasted leaning against Appa's saddle.

They soon landed just outside of the village, and put on their normal Firenation disguises they had always worn before the war ended.
"You ready?" Aang asked Sokka.
"Yeah... Uhh Aang? That's a dead give away right there Buddy." Sokka commented as he pointed to Aang's arrow on his head.
"Oh... yeah.. You're right. Well, what do you think we should do?" Aang asked while rubbing his bald head.
"Hmmm.. Wait here!" Sokka ordered while running out into the village. A few minutes later he came back and placed a wig on Aang's head along with his headband to cover up the rest of his arrow.
"That should do it." Sokka stated proudly as he crossed his arms.
"Thanks Sokka!" Aang said as they walked into the village.
"Who do you think would have any information on Azula?" Aang asked Sokka as they scouted out the crowd.

"Hey Kuzon." A familiar voice said from behind them. Aang jumped around to find OnJi standing there.
"Oh, Hi OnJi. What are you doing here?" Aang asked as he put his hand behind his head kind of embarrassed at being scared by the surprise.

"My Father's here on a business trip, and I had to come along with him." OnJi answered with a smile.
"Oh.." Aang said not really knowing what to say.
"What are you doing here?" She asked still smiling.
"Umm... My friend Morine and I were just exploring new places in the firenation and decided to come here to this village. These past few days We've been hearing rumors about Princess Azula though." Aang replied while looking at Sokka who caught on quickly to Aang's thoughts.
"Yeah, we heard that Azula has escaped from Prison and is now on the loose." Sokka added while studying OnJi to see if she would give any information.
"Oh, yes I've heard about Princess Azula's escape. Everyone in school was talking about it before Dad was called on this business trip." OnJi replied knowingly.
"Do you have any information on where she might be?" Aang asked her.
"No, but my Dad might. He's a part of the royal guard and is assigned to keep these surrounding villages safe. You can talk to him tonight if you will join me for dinner." OnJi offered mainly staring at Aang.
"We'd love to." Sokka blurted out before Aang could even reply.
"Great! I'm staying in the house right on top of the hill over there. I'll see you both at dusk tonight. Bye Kuzon." OnJi replied while still smiling at Aang.
"See you then." Aang replied back looking a little embarrassed.
"Well, the good news is 1. We have a meeting set up with a Royal Guard who is bound to know information about Azula, and 2. Katara's not here to get jealous about little Ms.OnJi liking you." Sokka stated while hitting Aang playfully with his Elbow.
"She doesn't like me. We're just friends." Aang denied with a scowl.
"Uhh huh. Sure she doesn't." Sokka replied sarcastically while walking over to a restaurant.
"She doesn't.." Aang argued while running up to meet his friend at the restaurant.
"Let's get something to eat. I'm starving!" Sokka said ignoring Aang's comment as they walked into the restaurant.
