[A/N: This chapter is pretty much useless but I write it so here.]

Iroh, Zuko and I were in Zuko's quarters sitting next to a table with tea. "See prince Zuko, a moment of quite is good for your mental well being." Iroh happily stated.

Zuko was about to finally drink from his cup, but the ship moved side to side and pushed him into his hot cup of tea. He hissed and pulled back his ponytail, which was wet with tea.

We went to the deck were we found a beast sniffing harshly. Like he was starving. "Get back, we're after a stowaway!" The woman who was riding it said, with a whip, she slung it near the beast, he sniffed even harder.

"There are no stowaways on my ship." Zuko warned like he was about to attack her.

The beast sniffed around just a few more times before tearing through the metal of the deck. A earth kingdom dressed man came running out and towards Zuko. The beast wasted no time and slashed him in the neck with its tongue.

"He's paralyzed!" Zuko seemed a little traumatized by the sight of the instant the tongue hit him, he fell to the ground and couldn't move.

"Only temporarily, the toxins will wear off in about a couple of hours. But by then he'll be in jail and I'll have my money." The woman who controlled it got off the beast, she grabbed the stowaway.

"But how did you find him on my ship?" Zuko wanted to know, this could help him capture the avatar.

"My surshu can smell a rat a continent away." She petted the beast and got on with the stowaway.

"Well I'm impressed." Iroh said, rubbing his chin. He thought she was very attractive. "Very impressed."

Zuko closed his eyes and wanted to hit his head at Iroh's comment, while I just had to smile.

                        ______________

Zuko thought if he used her beast, that would change things. He could find the avatar like nothing.

Later Zuko found her at a tavern outside a town. It was a beat down pub with outlaws and thugs.

"Out of my way! Step aside filth." Zuko pushed over a few thugs who were looking at their bet.

It was the woman from before, arm wrestling a pure muscled man.

"He means no offense, I'm sure you bathe regularly." Iroh said, trying to mend his nephew's harsh words and not get in to a fight.

"I need to talk to you." Zuko demanded of her, sometimes he forgot that he wasn't the prince to them.

"Well if it isn't my new friends, angry boy and uncle lazy and quite girl." She said, not even trying at her bet.

Iroh immediately started laughing at the bounty hunter's comment. Then she pulled with all her power and won the match.

"Your beast trashed my ship you have to pay me back!" Zuko clenching his fists at the sight of filth.

"I'd love to help you out but I'm a little short on money. Drinks on me!" She shouted, holding all the money that was just thrown at her.

"Money isn't what I had in mind." Zuko hissed as I grabbed the collar of her shirt. I was like his pimp but he wasn't a hoe. Or asking for money.

"I need you to find someone." Zuko and the others met her outside of the bar, it was night time and the beast was waiting for her. Zuko held up Katara's necklace.

"What happened, your girlfriend run out on you." June scoffed.

"It's not the girl I'm after, it's the bold monk she's traveling with." Zuko stated.

"What ever you say." She didn't really believe his answer.

"If you find them I'll consider the damage to my ship payed for." Zuko said, still holding the necklace.

"Ah, forget it." June scoffed at his prize and got on her pet.

"Plus we'll pay your weight in gold." Iroh added, she immediately stopped in her tracks and walked over to Iroh. "Make it your weight and we got a deal." She pointed at Iroh's stomach.

He laughed at her demands. "You got it."

She snatched the necklace from Zuko's hand and let her beast smell it. "Get on."

Iroh quickly got on the closest next to June, while I made sure to sit next Zuko. Hugging Zuko the whole way would be paradise.

June took us through county sides and small towns. We went near an old earth kingdom healing hill. An old woman with a cat was out there, almost to greet them. "Out for a bit of fresh air are we?" She asked with her hands in her sleeves.

"We're looking for someone."

"I hope it's not meuki. Meuki, did you get in trouble with the fire nation again?" The old lady asked to her cat, who meowed and walked behind her.

"The avatar's been through here. Let's keep moving." June stated before swiping the whip in the sur shu's face.

They then went through a small clean town. "Why are we stopping?" Zuko asked, eagerly.

"Because the girl must have spent a lot of time here." June suggested.

Zuko sighed, and got of the beast, I was a bit heartbroken that I couldn't hug him anymore.

"We have no time for this!" Zuko put the necklace in front of the beast's nose, it sniffed it almost in anger. It then whipped it's tongue at him, but he quickly ducked. "Hey! Watch it!" Zuko shouted at it.

"Oh look, she likes you." June said, holding its leash, Iroh laughed at her comment in satisfaction.

"Do you care to read your fortune, handsome?" An old woman asked Iroh. She looked very calm, almost like she knew what was going to happen.

"At my age there is only one big surprise left and I just as soon leave it a mystery." Iroh wise was ever.

The animal took off and Zuko jumped on and this time he was the one doing all the hugging.

Soon we reached a forest, the surshu started sniffing even harder. "We're getting close." June thought out loud. We went just a few more yards, before seeing Katara and Sokka, but no Aang.

They were pinned against the dirt wall, while Zuko got off the beast, June held her pet down.

"So this is your girlfriend. How wonder she left, she's too pretty for you." June stated, it was starting to really get on Zuko's nerves. But he ignored her. What he was doing was too important.

"Where is he? Where's the avatar?" Zuko hissed at them.

"We split up. He's long gone." Sokka said, holding his sister.

"How stupid do you think I am??" Zuko clenched his fists, and nudged his face at them.

"Pretty stupid. Run!" Sokka's serious voice turning into a squirrelly terrified one.

They ran about three steps before getting stung by the surshu. "What are we supposed to do now?" Zuko asked to Iroh or June.

"It's seeking a different sent, perhaps something that the avatar held." June suggested.

It took haste again, Zuko grabbed Katara and Sokka, and got on. They went back to the monastery that they just went to.

"What's it doing! It's just going in circles!" Zuko shouted in frustration. Then it looked up, to see the Avatar riding his glider.

"Aang!" Katara shouted, he made a huge air strike at them.

Zuko took his stance, while Iroh and I got off the beast and walked to the side.

Zuko and Aang fought hard, that was for sure. We went to the perfume and started smelling it. Iroh smelled one and put it in his sleeve, he seemed very happy with himself.

While nuns dragged Sokka and Katara in a corner. I turned to Zuko and Aang fighting over a well. "You've got something I want!" Aang shouted as he saw Katara's necklace.

Zuko threw another fire ball at him while Aang still dodged it. He then fell in the well, Zuko scoffed and dived after him.

Yet Aang jumped back up with the necklace, and water started falling from the sky like rain for a short time. Zuko bursted out of the well a few seconds after Aang.
                   
The nuns Sokka brought out all the perfume and poured it out on the deck as Katara bended it. This drove the surshu to go crazy, it couldn't see a thing, it was too much. It started spinning it's tongue in different directions.

"June! No!" Iroh shouted, at the sight of June getting licked.

Zuko fell to the floor as well. Iroh ran up to her and grabbed her. He then stayed there with her hugging him.

And me, well I took the opportunity to hug Zuko some more.

The Aang gang left as soon as they could, while Iroh and I acted like we were hit.

"Uncle? Mia? I didn't see you two get hit by the tongue." Zuko asked, barely able to move his mouth.

"Shh." Iroh moved his index finger to his mouth, June looked up at him in anger.

While I just smiled and held on tight, laying with Zuko was igzilarating.
