As Ty Lee walked up to Naruto, Azula and Mai ran all the way to the other side of the fire nation.

"That's not a good sign." Ty Lee winced as she slipped her shoes off and the smell made Naruto feel like his body was rotting from the inside out and his bones were going to melt into sluge, she didn't want to do this. The poor cutie seemed nice too, why did Azula have to be so heartless? On top of Azula's cruelty being the ansolute counter-part to the circus girl's naturally kind nature, Ty Lee was curently feeling admiration for her captive standing his ground aginst Azula to preserve the trust his comrades had in him.

"Look, for the record, I don't want to do this. I'm just trying to stay on Azula's good side."

"She has one?" Naruto asked, Ty Lee felt that was a reasonable question, Azula never was one to show kindness unless it was to trick someone to get what she wanted from them.

"Not sure about that myself." Ty Lee said as she balanced on her fingers, moved her hear back so that it looked to her that the strange boy was strapped to the ceiling, and her lower body so that when she set her head back to speek with him, her feet were resting on it. Seeing how Ty Lee bent and contorted her body, Naruto couldn't help wincing, did this girl even have bones?

"Sorry, It dosn't hurt though, I was a master gymnist by the time I was seven." Ty Lee told him seeing the look on his face.

"Azula forgot that part when she told me about you, for a second I thought she'd tortured you until you could bend that way."

"I'm not surprised, I out-did her with cartwheeling one time, she dosen't like having someone be better than her at anything."

"So she's a vain snob? If she hates being beaten so badly, why didn't she mar you years ago?"

Ty Lee felt herself blush, was that his way of secretly telling her she was attractive? Ty Lee was worried Azula might come back with a gass-mask on, so she stood up strate and put her feet on his face...after putting a nose-plug on him of cource (Ty Lee never wanted to do this at all in the first place remember?)

"Thanks." he said, now it was all acting, something the life he had before he met Iruka saw to that he was good at.

"You know, you don't seem to be an airbender, and there's only suppost to be one left." Ty Lee said, Naruto whooped.

"Finally someone gets it! I'm not an airbender, I don't even know what that is!"

"But Azula said she saw you airbending."

Naruto groned "And what dose that prove? You can't see air, how can she prove it? All that she's got going for her is her own word."

Ty Lee nodded, he did have a point. A crazy living flamethrower's word aginst fact? No way Azula had any evedince in her favor. Suddenly, the two heard the door knob turn.

"I'm really sorry!" Ty Lee said and plucked the nose pin off Naruto and the smell hit him like a out of control ferrate train.
