The Makeover

"Please, Zuko!"

"NO!"

"Zuko, you have to. You would look so perfect."

"How many times do I have to tell you? No!"

Saeri sighed. It had taken a lot of hard work and sheer willpower to bring the prince into her realm, but he wouldn't even cooperate with her.

"Zuko, how many times do I have to tell you? It's just a new look, nothing permanent. Have an open mind."

Zuko snarled in response. "In Agni's name, why did you ever believe that I would let you give me a makeover, let alone take me to the mall?" He formed his face into a frown again. Saeri feared that his face would stay like that, and that he wouldn't be able to make his signature smirk anymore.

"Don't you see?!" she cried in desperation. "You would look absolutely amazing if you looked emo-goth!"

He merely snarled again.

Saeri bit back another sigh. She could see that persuasion was getting us nowhere. It was time to resort to…other methods.

Author's Note: This is based of a true-life story. My friends and I tried incredibly hard to bring another one of our friends to the mall, so that we could turn him emo-goth. The only difference is that we didn't hijack him, and we gave up after a month or two.
