The Shipwreck

I smile at her and try to give her a hug. You don't know how much that means to me. I smiled and thought about her family. Maybe we should talk to your family before we leave and see what they think. I didn't want to bring her without her parents conscent.

I look at him and say Oh, umm, that's kind of impossible. My parents were killed when we returned from hiding. We didn't know that the fire nation was still there and then my parents told me to go back into hiding and they went to go fight them off or at least try to. But when I came back my parents were laying face down in the snow, dead. I silently shed a couple of tears remembering that awful day.

I look at her and open my arms for a hug. I'm sorry i made you have to think about that. I wait to see if she'll take the hug and let her emotions out. Maybe we should still talk to your friends in the village. Maybe someone will want to come.

I hug him back and say Thank you and yeah that sounds like a good idea. Someone else might like to come along on the journey. I continued walking with him back to the village

I hated seeing people sad so the least i could do was make her feel better. So do you think the people in the village would be so easy to let me stay the night, because i can't get to my ship in the night and it's getting dark. I didn't want to travel at night in a place i knew nothing about.

I looked at him and said Yeah, my village trusts me and if they trust me and I trust you then they'll trust you as well. Anyways, you can stay with me if you'd like. It gets lonely being all by myself when I'm at home.

I had never stood the night at a girl's house and didn't know how to act. I was used to just lazing around and doing whatever i wanted. Umm i'd like to ask that you excuse any odd behavior. I've never stood the night at anyone's home so i'm used to doing whatever i want and being all alone. I look at her with the smile i would always use to use on my parents when they wouldn't let me do something.

I smiled and said Sure, I don't mind. We're friends now so that means anything goes as long as you don't hurt me or anyone in my village.

I look at a penguin-otter. Wow that thing is really cute. I think about what i said and try to make it sound manlier. Well you know umm cute as in cool or awsome or... I shut up and try to end my embarrassment.

I giggle at him and I say You know? You're kind of cute. I was actually starting to like him.

My face turns red as i look away. Umm are we almost there? I've never hung out with a girl so everything was new to me. I'd always been training or traveling it was all new to me.

I looked away saying Yeah, we're almost there. Can you see the village? It's just up ahead.

I look up ahead. Yeah i can see it. I looks nice. I just wanted to get some rest.

I walked toward my house and opened the door. I walked inside and said Come on in and make yourself comfortable. I layed down on my couch and wondered what Shen would do.

I walk inside and sit on the floor by the couch. I try to think of something to talk about. Whenever my birthday came around i would always hide. I smiled as i tried to start a conversation.

I looked at Shen and said Come on, sit on the couch with me. I got into a sitting position so that he could sit next to me and then patted the seat next to me. I then said Well, that's a silly thing to do. Why would you hide on your birthday?

I sat next to her. Well it was the only day that i didn't have to train. I smiled and said It's was also the day my parents brought over a bunch of chldren. you know guys and girls to hangout. I thought about each of my birthdays. Even at young ages the guys showed off for the girls, but the girls weren't interested in them. I laughed as i thought about how shy i was even though i had good reason to be. I had to hide from the girls who wouldn't leave me alone. Even when i thought i was safe there was another one right next to me. They were smothering me and the guys hated me for it. I laughed a little It's pretty funny when i think about it. I think hat could be the reason i'm not so good around girls.

I listened to his story and then said Well, you're not that bad around me. In fact, I rather like you to tell you the truth. Just relax okay? I leaned in for a kiss hoping that Shen would allow me to touch my lips with his. I had never felt this way around someone before.

I leaned in just as she did and kissed her. I pulled away. I'm sorry. This is all really new to me and i'm just unsure about some things. I knew that she was a great girl, but it wasn't to long ago that my parents had died and i left my home.

I pulled back after he did and said No, don't be sorry. I shouldn't have rushed you into doing that after what you've been through. It's my fault. I'm sorry.

I smiled and said Lets just be friends for now. Ok? He didn't want to rush into anything that they would both regret later. So maybe i can help you make something to eat.

I smiled and said Sure, you can cook right? What do you want to eat?

I smile and get up to go to the kitchen. I'm a great cook. I look back at her and ask Umm what do you have to cook?

I search in the cabinets and say Well, I have soup and pasta. Then I look in my cooler and say I also have fish and hot dogs. So what would you like to eat?

I look at what she showed me. Well how bout some you make some Soup and i'll roast some fish. I thought about all the things i learned. Maybe we can try and find some Arctic Hen?
