I don't own Avatar: The Last Airbender. Ask Aang! He knows!
Aang: Its true! She doesn't! It is owned by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko!
Me: Thanks Aang. You know, you're my favorite character.
Sokka: Excuse me?
Me: Nevermind. *whispers* I'll tell you later.
Aang: Heh heh. Okay.
Chapter 1: Addition To The Group
On Ji saw Aang and his crew leaving. So before they closed the cave mouth with earthbending(courtesy of Toph), she went with them on to Appa. They didn't even notice her. She was riding on Appa's tail. As she looked up from her spot, she saw Katara kiss him on the cheek. 'That's my Kuzon!' she thought. After seeing him blush, she sighed, earning a glance from Sokka.
"Uhhh... Guys?"
Aang looked back at him, "What, what is-" He stopped mid-sentence and saw On Ji.
"What's going on? Who's there?" Toph was looking all over the place with her sightless, foggy eyes, wondering what was going on.
"Her..." Katara mumbled under her breath. She gave On Ji her scariest glare, one that Sokka saw and pulled back a bit.
On Ji was speechless. She was... embarrassed, freaking out, so many emotions inside of her, running wildly. "I-uh-" she stuttered, at a loss for words.
"Maybe we should land..." Appa started descending as soon as he heard Aang say this.
As soon as they landed, a stunned Sokka started going wild.
"Why did you follow us? How did you pass Toph's earth wall? Don't you have-"
"Woah, woah, Sokka! Calm down! Let me handle this!" Katara started to walk over to On Ji, when a hand landed on her shoulder.
"No. Let me do it." Katara turned around to see Aang looking at her straight in the eye. She could see seriousness in his glare.
"Okay..." Katara walked away defeated.

"Hey Kuzon! Boy, am I glad to see YOU!" On Ji said to Aang as they walked around the forest alone.
"On Ji, I have to tell-" Aang was cut short, by On Ji's words.
"You threw a great party, Kuzon." She put her hands around Aang's shoulders.
"Heh heh, yeah" Aang started blushing.
On Ji then started moving closer, her eyes fluttering, when she landed a big kiss on his lips. Aang pushed back though, looked her into the eye, and ran off. She followed him though, all the way back to where their camp was set up.
"Kuzon, what's wrong?" On Ji placed a hand on Aang's shoulder. But she didn't notice a certain waterbender watching...
"'Kuzon,'" Katara responded putting imaginary quotation marks in the air, "Is done with you right now. C'mon..." she started pulling Aang away.
'Ugh! How can she do that! That's my Kuzon!' On Ji thought, watching them walk away.
"Aang," Katara started, "I know On Ji's your friend, but I really think we should bring her back to her city. She doesn't-"
"Katara, it's ok if she travels with us. She means no harm!"
'She means harm to me,' she kept listening to Aang as she thought this.
"... And who knows; she might have a special fighting skill that could help us in war!"
Katara let out a sigh before responding, "Fine," she turned around with attitude, heading back to camp leaving a guilty Aang behind.

As Aang came back, he saw everyone sleep. Well, all but one; "On Ji," he breathed out her name. He could tell she was trying to fall asleep, but sleeping on the ground is hard for someone who's not used to it. "On Ji, I know you're awake."
On Ji brought herself up to Aang. "I'm sorry, I-I just... Can't sleep." she brought her head down.
"It's ok, just use this!" he brought out his sleeping mat he used sometimes.
"Oh wow," she took a quick glance of the mat before looking back up at him. "What are you gonna sleep on?"
"The ground," he said shrugging his shoulders. He looked up at On Ji to see her guilty face. He let out a laugh. "Don't worry, I'm used to it!"
"Well; if you say so," she put the mat on the ground and quickly fell asleep.
As he saw her falling asleep, he walked over, to sleep next to Katara, who was on the other side of the sleeping teenagers. It was Katara on the right side, with Sokka in the middle, and On Ji on the left side. Toph was sleeping in her own tent made of Earth.
By the time the sun came up, (almost)everyone was still sound asleep. Until they heard a scream. Aang jumped up with his staff and Toph was in an earthbending stance. They looked to where the noise was, but saw On Ji and Sokka sitting next to each other blushing.
"What was that?" Aang asked.
Katara started laughing. "I saw the whole thing." she crossed her arms. "On Ji was hugging Sokka while they were sleeping. Why, On Ji?"
"I umm... Well..."
"Yeah On Ji. What happened right now?"
She pointed at Sokka, right when Sokka pointed at her. He was the first to speak.
"It wasn't me! It was her! She was cuddling with me!"
"I-I Uhhh..." she just blurted it out, "I thought it was Kuzon!"
"You WHAT?" Sokka and Katara said in unison. Toph was just smirking.
Aang was blushing. He just stood there, stunned. He started laughing at this awkward situation.
"Heh heh. I'm sure we can figure this out..."
"Not right now! We have to go!" Sokka exclaimed.
"Sokka's right Aa- erm Kuzon," she stretched out the name, "As much as we all want to talk about this, we should really get over to the next village for food."
"Ok! Let's go!" Sokka said while walking over to Appa. They all hopped on and took off to the next village.
