NOW EDITED AND REPOSTED!

This story takes place after Book Three, Chapter Twelve, The Western Air Temple.

The main ship of the story is Zutara though, and there is a hell of a lot of it, but it isn't hogging the camera the whole time – there is an actual story developing here! Other ships this story willcontain; Sukka, Taang, Shangla (you'll figure out who this is by the end of the chappie), Sokkla, implied Yuekka, one sided Kataang, one sided Maiko (of course I'm not going to make it fully either of those 2!) and... probably a few others. Well, there you go and like I said earlier, lots of Azula OCness.

XD! R&R!

Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender or any of its characters. But I do own any original characters and storylines that are in this story. Btw, this is the only disclaimer I'm having in this story. I think you'll all agree that it gets annoying when you have to keep rewriting the disclaimer. So there.


1. The Hidden Truth

Zuko really had to think about all of this. Everyone seemed to be fine with him being a part of the gang. That is, everyone except for Katara.

No matter what Zuko did, every time he walked past her, she gave him an evil glare, as if she thought he was going to do something bad. The thing was, she did think he was going to do something bad.

She always just seemed to be so sweet until it came to him. Then it was all yelling and death threats!

"You might have everyone else here buying your… transformation. But you and I both know that you've struggled with doing the right thing in the past. So let me tell you something right now. If you take one step backwards, make one slip up, give me one reason to think that you might hurt Aang, and you won't have to worry about your precious destiny any more, because I'll make sure it ends, right then and there! Permanently!"

Zuko was still getting chills racing up and down his spine at the memory of that incident!

"She's worse than Mai!" he thought out loud before he left his room to give Aang his first firebending lesson.

He walked out of his room and headed for a courtyard that they had picked out and cleared for firebending practice. As he passed along a corridor, Katara bounded out of her room and ran head long into him.

She knocked him to the ground and landed on top of him.

"Uh… sorry," she apologized as she rolled off of him. She got her hair out of her face and realized who he was. "Oh… would you watch where you're going?! I almost broke my neck!"

Katara jumped up and walked away with a huff, leaving Zuko to get himself off the ground.

He walked into the courtyard to find Aang and Sokka talking.

"Hi Zuko! Are we ready for our first training session?"

"Yea, I don't think there's anything else that involves either you or me that needs doing," he shrugged as Katara appeared. She turned away from him and stuck her nose in the air. "Unless Miss Perfect over there has any objections," he shouted loud enough for everyone to hear, "then I don't see why we shouldn't just get straight into it."

"Urgh! What did you just call me?!" Katara rounded on him.

Exactly the reaction I'd been expecting.

"I called you 'Miss Perfect'." He planted his hands on his hips as he said it.

The waterbender glared at him. "Well, at least I don't go around knocking people over and trying to break their necks, Mr. Bulldozer!"

"Excuse me?!"

"You heard me!" she snapped.

"Hey, I was walking! You're the one who decided to come bounding out of your bedroom!"

"Yea, whatever, Flame Boy!"

"Oh! Why don't you go and splash around in the fountain for a while?!" he shouted.

"Fine!" she yelled. With that, she rounded on her heals and strutted away, back inside the temple, slamming the door behind her.

"Jeez, what's with her?" Sokka asked in shock.

"Who cares?! C'mon Aang, show me what you've got! Any amount of firebending you can manage!"

Aang could tell that Zuko was already in a bad mood and he had already figured out that he was naturally short tempered. With that in mind, he did not hesitate to obey his new master's instruction. He breathed in and lunged forward, extending a hand in a punching motion. But all that happened was a small puff of smoke issued from his knuckles.

He straightened up and shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Jeez, Twinkletoes, I thought you stunk at earthbending, but this is just shocking!" Toph laughed. "Hey, Firefly, I think you've got some serious work to do."

"What did you just call me?" Zuko asked her, cocking his eyebrow.

"Firefly," she shrugged.

"It's all right, Zuko, she gives everyone a nickname. I'm sure you've already figured out that I'm Twinkletoes!" Aang laughed.

"… Whatever," the Fire Prince dismissed the matter.

He ordered Aang to try firebending again, but the Avatar only achieved the same result. But Zuko was persisting; he kept making Aang do it again and again. He gave a demonstration every few attempts and slowly, Aang's smoke became thicker and he eventually started making sparks.

"Great, a few more years and you might be able to fight Momo," he sighed sarcastically as they finished the training session.

"Ok… thanks Zuko," Aang smiled as the firebender wandered back to his room with a loud sigh.

"What's with him?" Sokka asked.

Aang sighed and disappeared to go and get ready for lunch.

"I think Sugar Queen is giving Firefly a hard time settling in," Toph shrugged casually.

"Meh, that'll teach him for being a jerkbender! Ha, ha! Jerkbender! I still got it!" Sokka wiped a fake tear from his eye and Toph rolled her blind ones.

"I'm gonna go and help Katara in the kitchen," she told him as she left, being carried by Haru because of the burns on her feet.

"What's with her?"


As everyone sat down for lunch, Aang noticed that Katara was continuously glaring at Zuko. The Fire Prince, on the other hand, kept his eyes on his food, although his face held a scowl.

"So… how is everyone?" Aang tried to start a bit of conversation.

"We're fine," Zuko and Katara said at the same time. The Prince's head shot up and he and the waterbender glared daggers at each other.

"Um… are you two all right?" the Avatar asked as the two older teens continued their staring competition. They both looked away from each other and back towards Aang at the same time.

"We're fine, Aang," Zuko assured him.

Katara remained silent for the rest of the meal.

"What's with her?" Sokka asked the Earth Kingdom boys he was sitting with.

They all shrugged and Toph whispered to him, "I think they're about to start fighting again."

"Why?"

"I just feel that Katara wants to scream at him for something and he wants to be a smart ass about it. I kinda want them to start fighting; when they started yelling earlier, it was actually pretty entertaining."

"You do know we can hear you, right?" Katara sighed.

"Yes, I can feel your heart beat pumping with rage," Toph smiled.

"Urgh!" Katara got up and left the eating area.

"What's with her?" Sokka asked again.

"I wish I knew," Zuko grumbled, as he too stood up and left in the opposite direction.

"What's with him?"

"Oh, Sokka, you are the biggest pain in the butt," Toph sighed as she indicated to Aang to come and do some earthbending training with her and Haru.

"Yea, Sokka. That's kinda getting really annoying right now," Aang smiled apologetically as he left with the two earthbenders.

"Jeez! I mean seriously! What is with everyone?!"

The Duke and Teo sighed.


As Zuko went back to his room, he couldn't help but think that it was his own fault that Katara hated him.

Jeez, if I don't figure out how to make us get along, then this is going to be one rough stay.

I guess it's kinda my own fault that she doesn't trust me now. I let her trust me in Ba Sing Se and then I just betrayed her like that.

He thought about it. It was actually very admirable the way she was so strong willed. And he was impressed by her confidence. She really didn't bother hiding her feelings and opinions for him; she hated him and that was the plain, ugly truth.

I guess that it would be alright if we could just get along. I think I actually quiet like her.

Like? That's a bit of an understatement, don't you reckon?

What?! What's that suppose to mean?!

You don't just like Katara.

Meaning?

You like, like Katara.

Uh, right. You wish!

You have a crush on her!

Do not! That's a load of –

Zuko and Katara sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!

Ew! Hell no! What on earth would give you an idea like that?

She expresses herself. You like it when girls express themselves, especially when it's to you. But you have to like the girl in general first, and you just admitted it yourself; you quite like Katara.

Well, that doesn't mean that I'm in love with her, it just means –

Ha! I never said you were in love with her; I only said you had a crush! You just acted as though you were being accused of being in love with her, which means you do love her!

What?! Don't be ridiculous! I'm not in love with Katara.

Oh, say it and mean it! I dare you!

I. Don't. Like. Katara.

No, you don't like her; you love her!

Stop being stupid!

I'm not the stupid one; you are!

Stop accusing me!

Then tell me you don't love her!

I don't love… I don't love… I don't…

You can't do it!

I…

"Would you watch where you're going!?" Katara shouted, as they ran straight into each other once again. Katara dropped an armful of dishes to the ground and Zuko quickly helped her pick them up.

"Ok, that time, it was my fault," he admitted, "I'm sorry."

"Whatever!" she snapped, as she snatched the dishes out of his hands.

"Hey, I'm only trying to help!"

"Well, I don't need your help!" she yelled.

"Ok! Ok!" He put his hands up defensively.

He walked away from where she was and reached his room. He walked in and shut the door.

"Jeez, she really is worse than Mai!" he gasped.

Zuko loves Katara! Zuko loves Katara! Zuko loves –

Ok! Ok! Jeez, you are one persistent little pain in the butt!

Admit it and then I'll leave you alone!

Uh… but I… oh, fine.

Say it!

I love Katara.

I said say it!

But –

Do it!

"I love Katara!" he announced to the room.

And I'm never gonna let you forget it.

"Oh jeez, what did I just do?"

You admitted it. You're never gonna be able to deny it now!

Fine. Be like that then. But fine, as long as this stays between you and me.

Deal.

Good. This must stay the hidden truth.


The next morning, Zuko found himself trying to be as nice to Katara as he possibly could.

"Do you want some help with the dishes?" he offered after breakfast.

"I don't need your help," she informed him, bluntly.

Zuko felt a pang of hurt as she turned him down.

He took Aang for firebending training and when Katara came by to watch them, he made sure he concentrated on his student.

"Hey! What did I just say, Aang? Fire comes from the breath – not the muscle!" Zuko called out to him as he punched an invisible target.

He was still only producing sparks and it was really starting to get on Zuko's nerves.

"C'mon Aang! You can do it! Do it!"

Aang grunted and made a hard blow and an explosive fistful of fire pulsed through his fist and Zuko found himself needing to duck out of the way to avoid being hit.

"Wow! I did it!" Aang smiled.

"Shit… that scared the shit out of me," Zuko panted as he got over his state of shock from almost having been burnt to a crisp.

"Aang?! Are you ok?!" Katara asked worriedly from where she stood.

"I'm fine, Katara!" he smiled back to her.

"Aang, do you think you could do that again?" Zuko asked.

"Uh… I-I don't know. I guess… I could try," he shrugged.

"Have a go," Zuko urged.

"Ok… do you wanna stand back?"

"Yea, that's probably a good idea," Zuko nodded and he backed away a little.

Aang took in a deep breath and concentrated as hard as he could. He lunged forward and punched the air as he breathed out again.

The Fire Prince waited, but nothing happened.

"Sorry, Zuko, I think I lost it," he sighed.

"Well, you had it! That means you can find it again," Zuko told him, "keep trying, Aang. Go again!"

The Avatar nodded and took his stance. He lunged forward and punched, but only a puff of smoke issued from his fist; not even a spark.

"Again!" Zuko ordered.

Aang tried again. He tried several times over, but never exceeded a spark.

"Alright, Aang, that's enough for today. You did a good job," Zuko sighed, "we'll see if we can get that more dangerous stuff happening again, tomorrow."

"Yea, I guess," Aang slumped his shoulders.

Zuko was about to walk off when Aang let out an angry grunt. He lunged in every direction, tying to at least make something happen.

"Aang, give it a rest," he advised, as smoke surrounded the boy.

But Aang wouldn't stop. He wanted to do something. He needed to know that he could still do it. He lunged and breathed and lunged and breathed again, aiming in every direction he could, begging the fire to come to him.

"Aang, stop it! You're gonna get someone hurt!" Zuko warned.

"I can do it!" he said out loud.

He was moving around in circles, as he tried to shoot flames and as Zuko saw a particularly large set of sparks leave his fist and as he turned in the direction of Katara – who had moved forward to try and get him to stop – Zuko knew exactly what was about to happen, and he knew it wasn't going to be good.

"Katara!"

Aang's circular movement pointed in Katara's exact direction and the waterbender was only an arm's length away. The Avatar's eyes widened in fear when he saw Katara's scared face as the fire burst through his fingertips and headed straight for her.

The waterbender screamed in fright and squeezed her eyes shut.

And suddenly she was on the ground, but she could not feel any burns.

Opening her eyes she realized that Zuko was on top of her and Aang was shouting something to her in worry.

"Katara?! Katara, are you alright?! I didn't mean to do it to you! I'm sorry! I'm-I'm, uh –"

"Zuko! What are you doing?!" she shouted at the Fire Prince.

The firebender looked at her in dismay for a second, "I'm saving you from getting burnt!"

"Well, I'm not burnt, so you can get off of me now!" she shoved him off her and stood up and huffed away towards the kitchen area.

"Katara?!" Aang was almost in tears – he had been so nervous about this firebending. He knew something was going to happen.

"Leave her, Aang," Zuko told him.

The Avatar nodded and hung his head.

"Jeez, that girl is feisty!" Zuko commented as he stared after the storming girl.

"Oh, I knew I'd screw up again! Why do I always have to do something wrong?!" Aang groaned.

"Forget it, Aang. But… I thought I was agro when it came to firebending; you've set a new record for sure!" he almost laughed.

Aang smiled a little, but it wasn't a very convincing one.

They walked over by the fountain where Toph was sitting with Sokka, as she soaked her burnt feet.

"How are the burns?" Zuko asked guiltily.

"Getting better. Slowly," she sighed, "but, they're on their way."

"I'm sorry," he said, again, for the millionth time since he had caused them.

The earthbender just shrugged and then changed the subject.

"Do either of you two know what got into Katara? She just huffed by a second ago and she wouldn't answer us when we asked what was wrong."

"Yea, and she wouldn't tell me if she was going to start making lunch or not!" Sokka exclaimed indignantly.

Zuko rolled his eyes at the incompetent water boy.

Does he think of anything other than his stomach?!

"Aang kinda made an explosion in training, but he couldn't do it again afterwards, no matter how hard he tried," Zuko explained, "I told him that was enough training for today and…"

The Prince looked at the young boy and the Avatar finished, "I kept trying and I got really angry at myself for not being able to do it. Katara tried to make me calm down, but I kept going and then… it happened again and she almost got burned."

"Oh, so she's upset because you almost burned her," Toph comprehended.

"No, she's not angry at Aang. She's angry at me, because I saw what was about to happen and I jumped on top of her to get her out of the way!" Zuko informed her in frustration. "I don't get it! I saved her and all she does is yell at me some more!"

"Give it a rest, Firefly," Toph laughed, "she'll come round."

"You know, Zuko, maybe you should go and talk to her," Sokka suggested as he patted his grumbling belly.

"That could probably work, but she'll probably just yell at me more. But hey, I'll try," Zuko agreed and he started walking towards the kitchen area.

But before he was out of sight, Sokka called out to him, "Hey! Zuko!"

"Yea?"

"Can you ask her if she's started lunch yet?" he smiled cheerily.

Zuko sighed, "Yea, whatever."

He walked to the kitchen and Katara didn't notice it was him until he spoke.

"What is with you?"

Her head shot up, "Oh, I though you were Sokka!" she gasped. Her expression and tone changed, "What do you want?"

"I want to know why you keep bitching at me," he told her.

"Uh, bitching at you? Let me see; you chased us half way around the world, you tried to capture Aang a heap of times, you stole my mother's necklace, you tied me to a tree, you made me trust you and then you betrayed me in Ba Sing Se, you almost got Aang killed that night, you sent an assassin after us, you burnt Toph's feet and you've pushed me to the ground three times in less than forty eight hours! Why the hell should I not bitch at you?!"

"Look, I don't get you! Everyone else seems to trust me fine, it's just you! Why won't you just trust me?!" he shouted, feeling his voice starting to crack. He was definitely heading towards tears, but he couldn't understand why. For some reason, not being accepted by this girl was tearing him apart.

"I was the first one to trust you! In Ba Sing Se! You betrayed me! There is no way I'm gonna trust you!" she yelled, pointing an accusing finger at him.

Zuko felt his gut twist itself into a knot as her ocean blue eyes bore into his golden ones. He stared back uncertainly and slowly felt himself becoming lost in her gaze. Katara turned her back to him and he came out of his daydream. Shaking his head to rid himself of the dazed feeling, he kept talking.

"Listen, I've changed. Can't you just accept that?" he tried to reason. "I promise I'm not going to betray you again. Why can't you just move on?"

She kept her back to him and stayed silent as her chocolate brown hair swung over her shoulder as she got out some pans to start making lunch.

"I'm not proud of what I did before. There are a lot of things that I hate myself for, right from betraying you in Ba Sing Se and for trying to capture Aang in the first place, to…to…" he trialed off and Katara rounded on him.

"To what, Zuko?" she snarled.

"Urgh! To not being able to understand how girls think!" he ranted, shrugging his broad shoulders in helplessness.

Katara smirked, "Our minds are complicated, mainly because we actually use them."

"And what is that suppose to mean?" he asked, grateful that she had changed her tone. It was still negative, but at least she wasn't yelling any more.

"You're a guy. You don't think with you head, you think with your –"

"Katara! Have you started making lunch yet or not?!" Sokka demanded as he stomped into the kitchen. He stopped when he saw the firebender goggling at his sister and Katara glaring back, "Uh… should I come back later?"

"Uh, you sexist little –"

"Hey, you're the one who started it! If you don't know how a girl's mind works, then keep out of it!"

"For your information, there are a fair number of guys who think with their heads! Only the cheep, good-for-nothing guys think with their –"

"Wow! You two, where is this conversation going?!" Sokka cut in before Zuko could finish his sentence.

"Why don't you ask him?!" Katara pointed at Zuko. With that, she turned and walked away.

"What did you do?!" Sokka almost laughed at seeing his sister in such a fitful state.

"Never you mind, Sokka, never you mind," he sighed as Katara walked away, her hair bouncing around her shoulders and her back like chocolate waves. Zuko felt his gut twist even more and for a minute, he had the urge to just go after her and make her yell at him again.

Why do you want her to yell at you again?

She just seems so strong when she does it. And I like the sound of her voice.

You are truly weird. I knew I shouldn't have let you listen to your uncle.

Hey, don't forget; you are me! You were listening to him as well. You're just the half of me that didn't want to.

And you're the stupid half for having listened to him.

Meh, get over yourself… or your half. Whichever it is. Anyways, should I go and make her yell at me some more?

Uh… suit yourself, but I get the feeling that, this time, she'll just end up slapping you.

Good point.

"Zuko!" Sokka waved a hand in front of his face.

"Wha- oh, sorry, deep in thought," he laughed nervously, "sorry, what did you say?"

"I asked if you had asked if she had started making lunch yet!" he said, exasperated.

"… Do you ever think about anything other than your stomach?" Zuko sighed.

"Just answer the question! I'm hungry!"

"I didn't get a chance to ask, but she was getting the pans ready, so I think she's starting now," Zuko said.

Sokka smiled and ran after his sister.

Zuko went back to his room and sat down on the foot of his bed.

Jeez, why do I want her to yell at me for? If I want to hear her voice, why don't I just try talking normally to her?

Because she won't talk normally back. That girl likes yelling at you.

I noticed, but how can I make her actually like me? Just like, not love…not yet, anyway.

She'll come round in her own good time. Just try and act normal around her and try not to think about those things that you've done to her in the past. Try and avoid even talking about it.

Fair enough. But remember, this is our little secret.

Whatever. We'll keep it the hidden truth.

And right then and there, Zuko promised himself that he would try and stop thinking about the past. He had to move on, and if he could do it, Katara could too.


Azula cried.

She sat in a tight ball in the darkest corner of her room, away from the door and her bed in nothing; she was completely naked.

Why is this happening to me? she thought, Why is Dad doing this to me?

She willed herself to painfully reflect on what had just happened to her.

She had been listening to her father badmouthing Zuko;

"…Bloody traitor and a disgrace to the whole entire nation. I should never have let him back! I swear, if he shows his scared face here again, I'll kill him with my own two hands!"

When Azula had had enough, and as unwise as she knew her decision was, she spoke up.

"Why do you always have to talk about him like that? Why do you always want to hurt him? What makes him so weak? What –?"

Fire Lord Ozai backhanded her so hard so fast she almost wouldn't have noticed had it not been for the pain it had left. It had hurt and she had let out a cry of pain when he did it, but Princess Azula was not at all surprised at her father's actions, as this had happened many times before.

"You dare speak up against me? You dare defend your brother? You dare –"

"You dare speak so cruelly about your own son? Your own flesh and blood?" she had cut him off – another bad choice.

"He is no son of mine! That son of a bitch is just a filthy rogue and you're a –"

"He is not a filthy rogue and don't you give me "You're a…a…" whatever the hell you were about to call me!" she had shot back.

Another backhander – this time harder.

"Why do you do this to me? To him? To us? Why do you treat everyone as if you're too good for them and like they're scum?! Why do you just sit back and order people around?! Why don't you just do your own dirty work, instead of getting everyone else to do it for you?!" she'd screamed at him, losing control.

Bad move.

The Fire Lord had sent a powerful bolt of lightning at her and it had made contact with her chest when she hadn't managed to fully block it, pushing all the air out of her lungs and sending her flying backwards.

He'd walked up to her, and then, drawing a dagger from beneath his robes, pulled the crouching girl's head back by her hair and held the blade to her throat.

"DON'T YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT, YOU LITTLE BITCH! DO NOT QUESTION ME! I AM YOUR FATHER AND YOUR FIRE LORD! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO TALK TO ME LIKE THAT?!" he'd bellowed at his terrified daughter.

Azula had known her life was on the line. She had known that if she spoke out of term again, her father would have killed her.

"I-I-I'm sorry…" she stuttered as tears rolled down her cheeks, "you're right… I'm sorry…"

But Azula had known her father wouldn't just accept her apology and let it go – there would be some sort of punishment.

"Admiral Shang returned with his crew this morning," the Fire Lord announced to his daughter in a low, sickeningly evil voice, a torturous smile tugged at his lips.

And Azula had known what he was going to say next – she had met this consequence several horrible times before and had always hated her father more and more after each time.

"No," she'd breathed in desperation, "Father, please…"

"You're not getting out of it, Azula!" His smile had turned into a satisfied smirk and had become all the more evil. "I will call for him and send him up to your room to do as he pleases with you," he'd hissed.

"Father, please! Please don't!" she'd begged frantically, as her father put away his dagger and straightened up.

She didn't want to have that punishment again. She didn't want to have to suffer Shang's rape and beating again. She knew that even if she was a prodigy, she was no match for him; he was more a master than she was. But she didn't want to be hurt anymore.

But as her father had escorted her up to her room and locked her in, she had known she would have no choice.

Shang had come into the room not even half an hour later, smirking as he ever did when he was asked to punish the Fire Princess.

"Well, hasn't someone been a naughty girl?" he'd asked mockingly as he'd strode to where she was standing at the foot of her bed.

He'd stood there for a moment looking as intimidating as ever to the helpless girl.

Oh, how I do love our little sessions, he'd thought to himself before pushing Azula down onto the bed.

"No! Stop! Please, don't! Let me go!" she'd cried desperately.

Azula had struggled and begged him not to do it, but he wouldn't listen. And so Azula's punishment had begun.

As usual, Shang had beaten Azula until she'd stopped squirming and then raped her until he had satisfied his lust. Then, straightening up, he'd left the room, locking the door behind him and leaving Azula alone, frightened and completely naked.

And all Azula could do was slide herself off the bed and into a corner away from the place she had unwillingly betrayed her body in oh so many dreadful times.

Now all she could do was cry.

And all she could think about was how much she hated Shang for doing these things to her, and her father, for being the reason he was allowed to do them. She thought of how much she hated her father for making her try to hurt and kill her brother and capture the Avatar and their friends.

She thought about how much she missed Zuko, and how badly she wanted to tell him she was sorry for doing so many horrible things, and tell him what their father was doing to her, and tell him she was on his side and the Avatar's side, and how badly she wanted to tell him she loved him.

And all she could do was wish, hopelessly, but desperately, that she could tell he brother all of these things and that he would understand, and she wished so badly that all of these horrible things would stop happening to her. And she really wished that, one day, she would have a chance to pucker up her courage and tell her father exactly what she thought. She wished she had the guts to tell him what she thought now.

But she didn't, there wouldn't, he wouldn't, she couldn't. And she knew it.

So, she sat there in her corner and cried.

And she knew that her father hated her, and she knew that, as long as she couldn't tell him the truth, her brother did too.

Oh, Zuko, she thought longingly, if only you knew.

But he didn't. And Azula was certain that he never would.

She was sure that all this would always be the hidden truth.


So, what did you think? Was it any good? I hope you liked it. Yes I know it's absolutely crazy and Azula getting raped is something that barely anyone could imagine, but just try to think it. More about her will be revealed in future chapters. So keep reading and enjoy the story to its fullest extent!

Ok, if you want to be part of Team Zutara, just let me know and I'll add you. if you want more information on it, it's all on my profile page. We have a growing number of members already, c'mon Zutarians, join us!

AAA.
