Yuki's Chapter: Chapter 1: Jasmine Dragon, Book 1: Souls

"Po, what are you doing?!" I shouted as my younger brother was holding my boyfriend at knife point. "He has to pay! I didn't come this far just so you could be led astray by this traitor!" "Toka, what the heck is he talking about?! This has to be a mistake!" I yelled over the sound of the moving train. "Yuki, there's something I need to tell you!" He said back. I looked into his eyes and then looked into Po's, and at that moment could tell that I had to choose one to believe. I needed to make a decision fast.

Book 1: Souls Chapter 1: The Jasmine Dragon

Ba Sing Se Market, 1 month earlier

"Toka, lets go, we've been in the meat section for 30 minutes, lets move on." I said to my best friend, Toka. "Just 5 more minutes, training you is hard work!" My friend Toka was a water bender, and has been training with me since we were 10. I sighed. " You get 5 minutes, and then we have to go pick up Po from the tea shop." You are already familiar with Po, my younger brother.

After more than 5 minutes, Toka finally got his jerky, and we set off for the Jasmine Dragon tea shop. We didn't have one of those fancy Sato Mobiles, so we walked most of the time. "Toka, will you chew quieter?" I say to him. "Sorry, It's too good!" He said with a full mouth. I rolled my eyes, but I couldn't help but laugh. "So, how's it going with Homura? She stop bothering you yet?" Homura was the most popular kid in school, but also had a big fat crush on Toka since kindergarten. Toka groaned. "No, she won't take a hint! I've told her several times I like someone else!" I lead toward him in a skeptical way as we're crossing the road. " She probably doesn't believe you because you won't tell anyone who it is....you could tell me though!" I say. Toka kind of steps away. "I can't. Everyone would make fun of me..."

I saw that he was serious and I decided to stop pressuring him. "Well...is this girl pretty at least?" I asked curiously. Toka had a small blush across his face. "Yeah, she is..." I wonder if she goes to our school... "Oh, we're here!" I exclaimed. We stepped inside saw a big crowd at the counter, where Po was. As soon as we walked in, somebody turned around and said, "Everyone! Look! It's the Avatar!" Soon the crowd from the counter came over to me and Toka and swarmed us. "Avatar, why have you come here to this tea shop?" "Uh...to get my brother...?" They all kept asking questions like 'who is your friend?' and 'what are you doing today? let us help you!'.

"Alright everyone, back it up. You came here for tea, so now you're gonna sit down and wait for it." said a voice. I looked over and saw that it was Po with his bow out and ready to fire. It took about 3 seconds for everyone to quiet down and be in there seats.Yup. That was my brother. He was only 15, but spoke with such authority you would think he was an adult. Po looked over the counter and saw me and Toka and waved us over. "Hey. You guys were at the market for a long time. My shift is almost over." he said. I gestured over to Toka. "Somebody felt homesick and decided to drool on jerky for 2 hours." Toka looked down. "I-I was not homesick." he said unconvincingly. " Soooo....Homura still up your butt, Toka?" Toka grabbed his hair and sighed.

"Why does everyone ask me that? But yeah...I told her a million times that I like someone else, but Yuki thinks she doesn't believe me because I won't tell anyone who I like...." Po nodded. "Not Yuki's fault she's observant. Welp, I'm ready to get out of here." he said taking off his apron. "Wait!" a girl shouted. We turned our heads to see a girl in a wingsuit, an airbender. "Just...wait...a sec-..." she said panting.

After she finally calmed herself she stood up and waved. "Hello! My name is Hena. I heard that the avatar was in Ba Sing Se, so I came straight away. Oh, and If it helps, I was sent here by Master Jinora herself." My eyes widened and I could tell everyone else was surprised. "Master Jinora? She's one of the best teachers in the 4 nations!" Toka exclaimed. Hena raised an eyebrow. "Someone's done their research. Anyways, come with me. You've got a lot of talking to do with the Master."

What could she want with us? I thought. "Hey, we get to meet Master Jinora! How cool is that?" Toka said. I smiled, but I was more nervous than excited. "What do you think Po?" I said turning around to look at him. "I'm down. But are we riding a sky bison, because I didn't exactly see you come here with one," he said to Hena. "Uhhh about that," she said. "The bison kinda left, and I didn't have the energy to chase after him...or any...thing..." Hena said.

I gasped. "I have the best idea ever!!!" I replied. I waved them out the door and at the edge of the docks. "Yuki, what's going on?" Po asked. "Just wait for it! You guys are gonna love this!" I reached into my pocket and pulled out a whistle. Not just any whistle, though. I blew on it a couple times and waited. Hena threw her hands up. "How long is this gonna take? I have a deadline to bring you guys to the island, so why don't you just tell us what's going on?" she said. "3...2...1.." I counted.

First, a small fin popped out of the water, surprising Toka, Po, and Hena. "Yikes! What is that?" Hena screamed. WOOSH. Water splashed every where as an old friend jumped in the water. "Guys, say hello to Lahu! My elephant koi fish! I used to ride her when I was a kid!" I said. Toka, Po, and Hena stared at me for a moment, and then Toka broke that silence. "You want us to get on that?" I shook my head. "Not a that, a her. She's the fastest and the only way to get to the Eastern Air Temple. Unless ya'll wanna swim like, 50 miles-" "NO!" they all said in unision.

"Pfft, okay, then get on every body! Make some room, she's not a boat you guys," I said. Toka sighed. "Is this really happening?" he said to himself. "It sure is..." said Po. Northern Air Temple, here we come!

CREATOR'S NOTE

Thank you all for reading the first chapter of Yuki's Chapter! ( way shorter than I expected, sorry!) This took a while to post because for some reason, I was blocked for a whole month, but that gave me some time to edit and work on it anyways! I will be posting more about this story if you liked this first chapter, and I will also be open to ideas and suggestions! I didn't get to put my illustrations in this page because, again, I was blocked, I couldn't do anything on my computer for a long time, but luckily I had another device that I could sign in on and interact with and in the fandom. Thank you all again for reading this first chapter (I had to redo it 3 times!) and I hope that I will be able to continue this series! Character descriptions are going to be posted on General Discussion every now and then. Ok, thanks again!~
