Sorry it's so short but i wanted to post something tonight! This story is dedicated to FuzzyNinjaAsassain777 who's reveiw inspired me to write another Zutara Fic an i want to thank my brain for all it's random thoughts and daydreams.

Brain: Why thank you -OH MY GOSH THE KIDDIE RIDES AT THE MALL ARE AWESOME!

Me: Shut up brain, I was about to do the disclaimer!

Brain: We do not own anything that involves Avatar: The Last Airbender! OOOOOOH I GOT THE NAME HOPE FROM THINKING ABOUT THAT HIPPIE GUY FROM THAT EPISODE WHICH REMINDED ME OF SOKKA WHICH REMINDED ME OF HIM FAINTING WHICH LED TO WHEN HE WALKS IN ON THAT LADY HAVING A KID IN THE SERPENT'S PASS!(suddenly quiets down to a whisper) monsters are good . . .

Me: I told you not to drink those!

Brain: I DIDNT I DRANK A MILKSHAKE! AND MAYBE I ATE A FEW SNICKERS SO SHUT UP BEFORE I HURT YOU!

Me: Please enjoy, i'm gonna go to sleep now . . .:)


I sighed, walking through the upper ring and hoping Aang and Sokka would take a while to find me –if they even woke up before I got back- and wishing I knew what had changed lately. Don't get me wrong, I loved my brother and Aang but that kid seemed to never leave me alone! He might have been my best friend at one point but that ship sailed the day I met Jin in the market! We had started talking about how rude one of the vendors was; he had refused to trade with either of us because we're women. I was meeting her in the lower ring at a tea shop that everyone had been raving about, even the higher society women went there for tea! According to her the man who brewed the tea, an older man named Mushi, was practically a genius. She also mentioned that the server was pretty easy on the eyes and had smiled like Aang did that time that we went penguin sledding back home. I knew she was up to something from that glint in her eye but had agreed to meet her there anyway. She was my friend but she didn't know I was from the Water Tribe and thought my name was Hope; I wanted to be careful to avoid any possible trouble so I was wearing simple Earth Kingdom clothing and my hair was in a high Tiger-ponytail. I felt weird without my hair loopies but I also felt pretty, it definitely boosted my confidence. I entered the shop and saw Jin sitting at a table in the middle of the room, when I went to sit beside her she gaped.

"Wow Hope, you look nothing like yourself! I only knew it was you because we were meeting here!" She exclaimed and I smiled, she was a sweet girl.

"Thanks Jin, I feel a bit weird though, I'm not exactly used to a dressing up. Actually I'm not used to my hair being like this or wearing make-up or any of it for that matter, I actually feel pretty for once." She smiled and looked happy before her gaze turned to something behind me.


might post something else tonight if I get it done but i promise that if i get one review I will post by midnight tomorrow night:)
