******Chpt 3- The Meeting*****

"You almost ready to go Aang?" Sokka asked while fiddling with his sword. Aang stood by Appa putting on his wig and headband.
"Yeah I'm ready." Aang replied as he turned around to face Sokka while tightening his headband.

"Finally." Sokka sighed as they began to walk toward the path that led to OnJi's house

"Do you think OnJi's Dad is going to give information to two everyday teenage kids?" Aang asked as if the thought just crossed his mind.

"We can always try." Sokka stated with that determined look on his face.
As they walked closer to the house they noticed OnJi outside playing with a little boy about three years old.
"Awe." Aang said as a soft smile came across his face. OnJi who was tickling the little boy jumped up and turned around after hearing Aang's voice behind her.
"Oh, hi Kuzon. I was just... Well... Haha.. This is my little brother, Omnar. He wanted me to play chase and tickle with him and I didn't expect you two to be here so soon. Please forgive me, I'm sure I'm all a mess." OnJi stammered as she frantically tried to fix her hair and dust off her school uniform.

"Don't apologize. I think it's sweet that you play with Omnar." Aang stated with a soft smile. OnJi blushed a little and grabbed Omnar's little hand.

"Kuzon and Morine please follow me. I'll lead you to the dining room where my Dad will meet with us for dinner." OnJi told the two young men while leading the way into the house.
The house was beautiful and comfortable. It kind of reminded Aang of the house they were staying in while in Ba Sing Se.
"Dad will be here in a minute. Please sit down and make yourself comfortable." OnJi said as the boys sat down at the table.
"This is nice." Aang complimented while scanning the place.
"Oh, thank you." OnJi replied with another smile. "What would you two men like to eat?" She asked after an awkward silence.

"Any thing that's meat." Sokka replied almost before OnJi finished the question.

"Our maidservant, Liki, just made some roast duck so you are in luck. What would you like Kuzon?" OnJi asked looking at Aang.

"Um a salad or some fruit would be fine. I'm not really that hungry honestly." Aang said trying to hide the anxiousness in his voice.

"Okay, I'll have that right out." OnJi smiled and walked out of the room.

"This is awkward. OnJi is never taking her little lovestruck eyes off you." Sokka commented while looking at Aang.

"Really? I didn't notice." Aang lied while blushing a little.

OnJi soon returned with The food. Beside her was a tall strong man who was the spitting image of a royal guard. "Kuzon and Morine this is my Father, Baron of the Royal Guard. Dad, these are my friends Kuzon and Morine." OnJi introduced.

"Good evening Kuzon, it's a pleasure to meet you. I've heard alot about you." Baron said while shaking Aang's hand. "Morine it's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too." Both the guys replied almost in unison.

"So what did you two boys come here for? OnJi told me that you two needed to ask me something." Baron asked as they began to eat.

"We wanted to know if you knew any information of princess Azula's whereabouts." Aang answered. Baron's whole demeanor changed.

"Son, that information is classified. I can't tell Go around telling people crucial information. If I do then it could easily get back to Azula and then she would go into hiding. I'm sorry, but I can't give you that type of information." Baron answered looking at Aang and Sokka as if they were crazy for asking.

"We need this information, Baron, Sir.
We aren't just regular kids. We are on your side.. We need the information so we can inform FireLord Zuko. Please tell us what you know" Sokka pleaded.

"I'm not going to disclose that type of information to two kids, and that's final." Baron answered rather harshly. Aang and Sokka looked at eachother. Sokka, seeming to read Aang's thoughts, knodded to Aang. Aang stood up.

"I'm not just some kid... I'm the Avatar." Aang revealed as he took off the wig and headband. OnJi covered her mouth with her hand in shock, and her dad looked just as surprised. "Please we need any information on Azula's whereabouts." Aang continued.

"Avatar Aang, I am honored that you have came to get information from your humble servant. I didn't realize that it was you. I'm sorry for the inconvenience." Baron stated as he bowed in respect to Aang.
"It's okay. You did what any loyal guard would do." Aang replied with a smile.

"Do you have any information you can give us?" Sokka asked growing a little impatient.

"No, I'm afraid I do not have any information on Azula's location. However, the Royal Guard is having a meeting a week from now. Some of the men have information on Azula, but they aren't going to discuss it until next week for privacy reasons. You are welcome stay with us here and attend the meeting with me. It would be an honor to have the Avatar and his friend at the meeting." Baron informed.

"That would be great." Aang answered. "Thank you for your hospitality."

"It is my honor, Avatar Aang." Baron replied with a smile. "OnJi take the Avatar and his friend to the guest room upstairs." Baron ordered while looking at his daughter. OnJi still shocked by the surprise stood up and did what her Dad told her. Aang and Sokka said goodnight to Baron and followed OnJi upstairs.

"Here is your room." OnJi stated as they entered into the cozy guest bedroom. "If you need anything at all just let me know, and I will get it for you right away."

"Thank you. We will be sure too." Aang replied.

"Well, I should probably let you get settled in. Goodnight." OnJi said as started walking out.

"Goodnight." Aang said back. OnJi turned around with a big smile and accidentally backed into a jar of water near the doorway. "Oh Dear!" OnJi exclaimed embarrassed that she just knocked over the water.
Aang picked up the jar and quickly waterbended the water back into the jar. OnJi's eyes grew huge. She had never seen waterbending before.
"Wow. That's incredible!" OnJi said in amazement.
"Thanks." Aang replied with a smile.

"Well, I should probably let you get settled in. Umm.. Goodnight Avatar Aang." She Stated while blushing a little. Then she left the two guys alone.

"Her lovestruckness just went to a whole new level. That girl is crazy about you." Sokka piped up with a little smirk.
"I'm going to go meditate." Aang replied ignoring Sokka's comment.

"Alright, go unstress yourself almighty Avatar Aang." Sokka mocked while laughing. Aang ignored the comment as he shut the door behind him.
