"Oh nothing," he lied. "I couldn't sleep so I decided to walk around a bit and I couldn't help but notice that someone was in one of the healing huts. I'm surprised you were in there. I didn't know you were that dedicated to healing," he said casting looks everywhere in hopes of finding the girl he had been chasing. He could tell that Raine's breath was faster than normal. Maybe healing takes a lot out of you. It's still odd that she was out here practicing healing. I've never seen anyone in the huts before at this late hour. Caiden guessed that it would be daybreak in about a half an hour. There was a long pause and then Caiden asked, "So, what were you doing in one of the healing huts in the early morning?"

Raine listened to what Caiden say then they both stood in silence, only to be broken be Caiden's question, "Oh me," Raine said thinking about something to say, "Well, I had to get as much training as I could so Umi San wouldn't be disappointed in my healing skills." Raine lied. 'Raine, you're an idiot!' She screamed at her self in her head. 'Just tell him the truth! Besides he the one that gave you the shove off!' Raine bit her bottom lip, "I better be going home, so my mother doesn't worry about me," Raine said looking towards the streets. "I'll see you later Caiden," She waved, then soon held her arms as she started to walk. 'I'll come back later for my cloke,' She thought the her self hoping Caiden would just leave the hut so she could get it and just go home.

"Okay Raine," said Caiden casually, "I'll see you later." He turned around and started to head home with his hands nestled on the back of his head. It's still odd that Raine was out here. Every now and then, I walk around at this time of the night and I've never seen anyone in the healing huts before. Caiden pondered this thought for a moment and then Caiden's eyes widened, she was the waterbender! Caiden decided that he would go inside the healing hut and wait for Raine to come back and get her cloak. On his way inside, he was grinning from ear to ear. He didn't think that she would take his advice, let alone start practining waterbending tonight. He sat down on the cold, hard floor of the healing hut and waited for Raine to return for her cloak.

Raine titled her head the slightest bit and looked behind her. She saw Caiden walking but then just stop. Then he went back in to the hut. ‘Strange, why is he going back in to the-…I knew it! It was him! Once I get my hands on him for scaring the living daylights out of me…’ Raine’s thoughts trailed off as she made it around the corner and stopped. “Well two can play that game,” She said to her self as a sly grin crept on to her face.
Raine went around to the back of the healing hut. Raine propped her self up through the open window. ‘Maybe I’m wrong…What if it’s not him…’ Raine thought. Raine crept behind him without making a sound. Raine looked at the man sitting there. As she got closer she got a better look at the boy. Raine about a foot behind him, “I knew it!”

Caiden jumped and shot around only to find Raine staring him directly in the face. They stared at each other for a moment and then Caided smiled and said, "Well, did I scare you? If I did, I didn't mean to, I thought it was someone else. There was a long pause, the only sound was the ice cold water dropping from the ceiling and splashing on the cold floor. He watched the water for a moment and then got up and walked to the window. The sun was edging over the horizon, it was daybreak at last. He could feel the warmth on his face, it felt refreshing. He turned around to her and said, "I didn't think you would take my advice so quickly, I'm surprised."

"Yes, you scared me! I couldn't move for half the time you were there!" Raine said glaring at Caiden. But her glare soon faded, and she laughed, "I was so scared," She said laughing at herself. "But don't ever do that again, ok? I'll probably fall over and die."
When Raine heard the 'advice' talk she stopped laughing and defended her self. "Trust me; I wasn't even planning on doing anything at all. You're words haunted me in my sleep. Scary words...Scary, scary words," She said shuddering. “But I don’t think it’s going to happen again.” Raine yawned, “And I’m tired. I’m going to go sleep until Umi San comes an-” “Raine!” A happy said, “So nice to see you on time for once.” Raine groaned, “Ugghh…. Umi San can I-” “And who is this young man,” The elderly woman said walking up to Caiden. “This is Caiden, Caiden this is Umi-” “Hello Caiden, nice to meet you.” Umi said smiling. “Umi San I thin-” “Now Raine, you have later to talk. We must get down to practicing.” Umi said walking to Raine and pulling her to a dummy, then walked over to Caiden guided him out side, “Caiden dear, Raine will be done in a few hours so you can talk then, ok sweetie? Thank You.” She said going back to Raine. “Bye Caiden,” Raine waved. “Ok Raine, time to heal.”

Caiden stood outside of the healing hut, a little confused. I guess I'll just head home and get some sleep. He started heading toward his home yawning most of the way there. He dragged his feet up the cold and slippery stairs. He walked into his room and flopped on his bed and fell fast asleep. Caiden woke up later that day. He sat up in his bed and rubbed his eyes. He looked out of his window to see what time of the day it was. The sun was still farely high in the sky so he didn't sleep too late. He smiled and ran out of his room and down his slippery stairs. Once he was outside, he yawned and walked down one of the usual busy streets, occasionally bumping into someone.

"Alright Raine, you may go now." Umi said as she stood up along with Raine. Raine bowed as she walked out of the hut, "Thank You." She said to Umi.
Raine walked into her house. Raine gradually got to the back of her house where her room was located. “Raine!” A voice called to her. “Yes Mom!” She yelled back. “Come here, please!” Her mother called. “Ugh...” Raine sighed as she walked back to the front of her house to where the kitchen was located. “Yes?” Raine said leaning against the wall. “Can you clean your room please?” “Of course mom,” Raine said making her way back to her room. “Raine flopped on her bed. “Raine!” Her mother called again. Raine groaned and went back into the kitchen, “Yes?” “Oh, you’re cousin’s at the door.” “I’ll get the door.” Raine said as she went to the door and opened it. “Hey Chi-Chi,” Raine said. The girl in front of her was about five years old and was wearing a light blue and purple parka that went down to her ankles. Her black hair was in two braids that went down about four inches from her shoulder. “Hiya Raine,” She said as her big blue eyes stared at her.

Caiden walked through the mass heap of people. Streets were always busy at this time of the day, but he didn't mind, he was too tired to care. Raine's probably asleep, maybe I'll stop bye anyway and see what she is doing. Her house was a few blocks away if he remembered right. It took him about ten minutes to make his way through the crowd. He rounded a corner, the next street didn't have any shops, just houses so it was easier to get around. He finally arrived outside of Raine's house. He waited a minute, trying to decide if he should nock or wait until later on that day. He decided that he would go ahead and nock. Hopefully she wasn't asleep, but he would have to take that chance. He waited a minute and finally the door opened.

Raine and Chi-Chi were in the Raine’s room. Raine’s room was like any other Northern Water Tribe room. The floor had an animal hide rug. The bed was just a mattress, with a sheet rapped around it. Then to go over the person there was a simple white sheet with a soft animals hide over it. There was a desk with two oil lanterns, some parchment, a book and a quill pen and ink bottle. On her dresser there was another lantern, and on the far wall, a window. Raine and Chi-Chi were on Raine’s bed playing with dolls. “So when are you’re parents coming to get you?” Raine’s asked Chi-Chi. “They said they would come here after the meeting with the cheap,” She answered back. Raine chuckled a little bit, “Chi-Chi, it’s ‘Chief’ not ‘cheap’,” Raine corrected. “Look, Raine! My dolly looks like me!” Chi-Chi proudly stated when she made her doll where a parka. “Yep,” Raine smiled, “The spitting image.”
Raine heard a knock at the door. “I’ll get it!” Chi-Chi yelled grabbing her doll and dashing out of the room. “Chi-Chi!” Raine called after the five year old also getting up.
Chi-Chi opened the door. “Hi!” She said to the boy, “You wanna play dollies?” She asked holding up her doll.

"Yeah, sure I guess," said Caiden in an odd tone. He didn't think that Raine had a younger sister, but who knows. "Is Raine home?" He asked. She motioned for him to come in and she started to walk through the back of the room so he followed her. Raine's house was nice and warm. Many oil lanterns feeled the inside of it so it was very well lit. He walked through the house until he reached a room in the very back. This house is very big, bigger than I thought. The little girl opened the door to see Raine sitting on her bed holding a doll. Caiden couldn't help, but laugh. "So, what have you been up to?" He said snickering.

Raine looked over to Caiden laughing, “Shut up, Caiden!” She said chucking the doll at Caiden’s face, which soon fell to the ground in front of him. “Misses Smiley!” Chi-Chi yelled diving after the doll. Raine got off the bed and picked up Chi-Chi, “You know Chi-chi,” Raine started, “You shouldn’t just let strangers in to the house like you did with this guy here,” Raine said motioning to Caiden. “You never know, he could be a Fire Nation ninja assassin coming to rob us and kidnap you.” Raine said looking at Chi-Chi. “What’s an assassin?” Chi-Chi asked Raine. “Never mind, just don’t let strangers in the house ok?” Raine said setting her down. “OK.” Chi-Chi said running over to Caiden, “You wanna play dollies with me and Raine now?” She said pulling him over. “You can be-” Chi-Chi was by Raine, “Chi-Chi, why don’t we go out to the market.” She said. “Ok!” Chi-Chi yelled as an answer. “Can he come too!?” Chi-Chi said jumping up and down. “Caiden, you want to come to the market with me and Chi-Chi?” Raine said half chuckling.

He thought about it for a moment and then decided that he would go. "Yeah, sure, it will be fun," he said smiling at Chi-Chi. They walked through Raine's house and out to the crowded streets. As they were walking, Caiden whispered, "Did you get any sleep at all when you got done with your healing practice?" He looked at Raine's eyes and could tell that she was tired so he said, "Nevermind." To change the subject to something more interesting, Caiden turned to Raine and CHi-Chi and asked, "So, where are you guys going to go?" He looked around at all of the great shops. That is the reason why most of the streets of the Northern Water Tribe are fairly crowded with people.

Chi-Chi skipped through the busy streets. Seeing all the wonderful sites, and smelling all the wonderful smells. Heavy aromas of freshly baked breads and sweet pies and cakes filled the air. Chi-Chi stopped by a flower shop and gasped, “Raine, can I get this flower? Please?” She said looking up to Raine. “Uh,” Raine reached in to the money pouch that hung by her side which she got before they left her house. Raine pulled out two copper pieces, “Sure Chi-Chi.” Raine walked up to the stand owner. Raine gave the owner the two copper pieces and the stand owner gave her a flower. “Here Chi-Chi,” Raine said handing it to her. “Wow, an Ice Lilly!” Chi-Chi said wide eyed receiving it from Raine. “Thank You!” She said skipping off again.
When Caiden asked Raine where they were going Raine looked over to him and answered, “Well, we could stop by Natumi’s.” Raine suggested, “Chi-Chi will want to buy something for her hair,” Raine chuckled as they walked closer to the clothes shop.

Caiden laughed, "That's fine, I have nothing else to do," he said smiling. They walked a little longer without saying anything to each other. He thought for a moment and then he looked at her and said, "That was nice of you to buy that flower for her." The sun was still high above them and showed no signs of weakening in its heighth. As they walked, the snow made its usual crunching noises when their feet sank into the snow. As they approached the clothing shop, Caiden asked, "Is she your sister or just someone that you look after? "She seems very nice and you take care of her well. She seems to like you a lot and you play with her dolls, even if you dont want to," he said smiling at her.
