The Melting of Hail

[jamesthebutler]

Once Abhaya awoke the morning after she had,"Tricked" Ziya, she went out to Ziya's house to find her and Cai laying on a chunck of ice in the shade of the chief's temple. Abhaya went up to them and said,"Hi-ya guys!Isn't the weather beautiful?". Ziya replied in a exhausted tone,"Are you kidding me?!?It's like seventy degrees out!".Abhaya chuckled a bit at what Ziya said because in the Fire Nation, the regular temerature was ninty-five degrees.Cai's head popped up from her spot and she said excitiedly,"Hey!I have an idea of what we could do!"."Please share,like we don't have anything else to do."Abhaya said.Cai continued,"Well in class the other day my teacher said that cities can be hotter than open places like the tundra.So that got me thinking that what if we went out to the tundra an-".Cai was cut off from Ziya saying excitiedly,"Ya!!Abhaya and I could pracitce our bending and you could do someting for art class or make lunch for us."."What am I, a piece of cheese?"Cai said frustratedly.Ziya relied in a sarcasticly,"Well, I guess you can get the sliegh ready too.".Cai's face turned into a grin as she threw a snowball at Ziya."Well I think it sounds like a fantastic idea!!!"Abhaya said with enthusaim.
"Hey!!!That's not fair!" Abhaya said as Ziya threw a unexpected waterbending throw at her. The girls had been out on the tundra for almost an hour now and Abhaya was already getting the shivers. "How do these people stand the cold?",Abhaya thought to herself. Cai then said,"Hey guys I made some Sea Slug Stew!!!"."Ziya quickly ran over to Cai and said,"Yes!You know that's my favorite.".Abhaya was hesitand to go over and eat the stew, but she had to eat it even if it made her gag. Turned out, it did.After Abhaya had eaten a few mouthfulls of snow to wash the taste away, she then felt a sharp pain on her head and said,"Ziya...Cai?".Abhaya's vision started to slowly fade into blackness.Abhaya's last thought before she went unconcieness was,"Oh no!!Not this again!"

Ziya winced when a chunk of ice hit her shoulder. She quickly bended a large, thick ice dome around the her and the two other girls. Outside, a nasty hailstorm was coming in fast. Why did they always pick the most dangerous places to hang out? The large pieces of hail were quickly putting numerous dents on her ice dome, so she was kept busy bending back more ice to fill the dents. "Cai! See what you can do Abhaya! I need to keep this dome up!" she yelled above the clanking of hail. "Okay!" Cai yelled back. Cai then got some water and placed it on Abhaya's head where the hail had hit. It began to glow blue.

Abhaya felt her forehead begin to grow warm with heat. Soon the feeling spread like water through her body and she fluttered open her eyes to see Cai right ontop of her,probably healing her, and Ziya waterbending a ice dome surrounding the group."Wh-what happened to me?" Abhaya asked.

[musicgirl51197]

"Well," Cai started, "You kind of got hit with with hail." Ziya smirked. "Yeah, you were out cold!" Then a piece of hail hit the roof and she had to fix the crack.

Great though Abhaya, throughly embrassed again in front of the waternation people. Just...great. She tried to sit up but her head started to throb again."So whats your plan of getting out of here alive without getting hit by hail again?"

[musicgirl51197]

Zia thought for a second. "Well, I guess I could do this." And with that she reformed the dome into a floating ice block above them, blocking the hail. "Admit it. That's impressive." she said amiring her work.

Abhaya had to admit that was pretty nice, but only in her mind she would. She gave a teasing smile to Ziya,"Firebenders,like myself, could have melt the hail." "So come on, lets get moving!" said Abhaya.

[musicgirl51197]

"Firebenders, like yourself, seem to be unconsieness and unable to move alot." she said teasingly. They all began to gather stuff up while Ziya kept the block of ice above them. Because they walked out to the tundra, and Abhaya was not yet able to walk, Ziya had to transfer the weight of the block onto one hand while she bended the ground to move them home.

The ride home was very nice for Abhaya and Cai. Ziya, Abhaya though, had the roughest part. That's a lot of bending Ziya had to do to get us home, safely too. She looked pretty darn beat by the time they had reached near the city walls."Thanks Ziya and Cai, for getting me to the city and healing me." said Abhaya quietly. Abhaya didn't like to ask for other peoples' help. She thought of herslef as the more "independent" type.

Ziya turned around in happy suprise. Abhaya had just thanked them. "It's nothing." she said, even though she was swetty and tired out. Then they walked into the city.
