The war finally ended and the Dragon of the West decided to host a FNP100YOWE/ZCOBFLB. Yep, you guessed it, a 'Four Nations Peace 100 Year Old War Ended/Zuko's Coronation of Being Fire Lord Ball.'

"Catchy name, Uncle…" said the depressed Fire Lord.

"Oh cheer up Lord Zuko! In three days, you'll have a blast singing, eating, dancing with girls-"

"Wait a minute, dancing with girls? Uncle, I already have a girlfriend!" exclaimed Fire Lord Zuko.

"Yes, but it doesn't hurt to dance with other girls. It's just dancing, what would even happen? Besides, Mai won't even be there. So, you're not hurting her feelings." His uncle shrugged. Mai had to leave and visit her parents and Little Tom for a while so she could not go to the FNP100YOWE/ZCOBFLB. Of course, Iroh and Zu-Bin were responsible for this and they had help with her parents, but the Fire Lord did not know this and he never will.

"And that's why I shouldn't go! It'll be boring without her!" Did I just say that out loud? He covered his mouth quickly, embarrassed.

"Which is why you should go!" a voice appeared from the door. It was Zu-Bin, backing up his uncle. He thought that his cousin should have a good time and be a regular teenager, since he's going to be busy doing Fire Lord duties later on in his life.

"You should go and charm the ladies while you still can!"

"Take your cousin's advice, Zuko. This might be the last time to be a bachelor in your life!" his uncle recalled.

"Maybe I don't want be a bachelor anymore!"

The two men gasped.

"How could you say that, nephew?"

"It's like I don't even know you anymore!"

"People change, Zu-Bin." Zuko stared out the window, thinking of a girl he had tried to receive her forgiveness but wasn't able to for a long time.

"No they don't. People never change for who they are. They might change their personalities and goals, or hair or face, but they can never change for who they are."

Iroh whistled for he was impressed. "That was so deep, I'm not even sure if I quite understand it."

"Thank you, thank you. I tried, ya'know." He responded.

"Anyways, Zuko, I know that deep down, that cockiness, sarcasm, charming, nice and kind boy is still there in the cage you have put him in. Now is the time to release him into the wild, so be a kind man and open the lock to that cage." His uncle said with a deep and serious voice.

"Yeah Baby, get that old key you had kept in the drawer and open the lock to the wild." Zu-Bin said with the same tone as Iroh had.

"…you guys have been telling me, for all of my life, to treat a lady with respect, now you want me to be like those jerks?"

"Jerk is a harsh word, Zuko. We like to think of it as a free ticket. Take the ticket Zuko, be like us."

"What the fuck has gotten into you guys??" Zuko raised his voice slightly. "First, you tell me to be good, now you're telling me to be a pimp?"

"Basically, yes." His uncle confessed. A few minutes had passed as Zuko thought about the situation.

"Fine, I'll do it." Zuko gave in.

"Yes!" The two relatives cheered.

"Ataru! Sonoko!" Zu-Bin yelled and they appeared a second later.

"Yeah boss?" Ataru saluted while Sonoko just leaned on the edge of the door, looking cool.

"Take Zuko here and turn him into a ladies man."

"Right boss!" Ataru stood down and he both grabbed Zuko's arms and dragged him into his room while Sonoko walked up to the two men.

"Wait a minute! I didn't agree to this!" Zuko yelled, struggling to escape from Ataru's grasp but that only made Ataru grip tighter.

Once Zuko was out of reach, Sonoko finally asked, "Should we cover his scar?"

"I think that would be Zuko's choice." Iroh said, relived that Zuko was going and had a chance to find his real love.

In Ataru's room, Sonoko finally appeared, seeing that Zuko was half-naked, and embarrassed, and Ataru, making measurements, and eyeing him, figuring out the right color would be hot enough for the ladies to look at.

"Fire Lord Zuko," Sonoko said gently. Zuko was surprised and curious at his tone. "Would you like for us to do something about the scar?"

Zuko quickly changed his emotions from anger to embarrassment to sadness.

"I think I want to keep it. A friend of mine told me that the scar was not a scar of shame or cowardice but of honor and bravery. So, why should I hide my honor and bravery." Zuko looked up at Sonoko's eyes, smiling, full of pride."

"Spoken like a true warrior" Sonoko approved.

"Ataru, I think he should wear all black with blue outlines for the top and red outlines for the pants. Try to make it something different and stand out."

"Alright Sonoko!" Ataru then gasped with a lighting light bulb above his head. "I got it! I have the best outfit that will totally make you stand out and catch everyone's attention!" And then he started sketching onto a sketch pad, looking at Zuko and back.

"Can I leave now?"

"No. I need you so I can sketch your outfit."

"Ugh!"

"Just sing or something."

"I can't sing without music and I will not-"

"Zu-Bin!" Ataru called, interrupting the new Fire Lord.

"Oh crap." Zuko said out loud.

"Yeah?"

"Play a song so Zuko can sing to while I sketch his outfit."

"Ok." And Zu-Bin grabbed Ataru's guitar and thought of a good song to play that Zuko would know.

"No! I will not sing!" Zuko argued. However, Zu-Bin had already started playing the tune of 'Nice & Slow.'

"If you won't sing the song I made, I will because I like this song and I'm very proud of it." Zuko instantly felt guilty while Zu-Bin smirked on the inside thinking, Gotcha.

A/N: This is lik the middle of the song n it's by Usher.

Zu-Bin began to sing. "Now here we are
Drivin' round town
Contemplating where I'm gonna lay you down" Zuko sighed and gave up, but not completely, singing the background parts.
"Girl you got me sayin'
"My, my, my" "My" Zuko repeated.
"I wish that I" "I"
"Could pull over
And get this thing started right now
I wanna do something freaky to you baby
I don't think they heard me
I, I wanna do something freaky to you baby
So call out my name"

"They call me me - Z-U, B-I-N, H-I, K-A, G-E-N"
Ataru started singing his part. "Now baby tell me what you wanna do with me"
And Zu-Bin began singing/rapping again. "You know you Gotta nigga feelin' like Jodeci
Every time that you roll with me, holdin' me
Tryin' to get control of me
Nice and slowly
You know
Never lettin' go
Never messin' up the flow
Dis is how the hook go"

"Zuko! Sing the chorus, now!" Zu-Bin suggested quickly, but Zuko knew that he was more like demanding it so he obeyed.


"Let me take you to a place nice and quiet
There ain't no one there to interrupt
Ain't gotta rush
I just wanna take it nice and slow"
Ataru sang his part again yet still sketching. "Now baby tell me what you wanna do with me"
"See I've been waiting for this for so long
We'll be makin' love until the sun comes up
Baby
I just wanna take it nice and slow"
"Now baby tell me what you wanna do with me"

And they were interrupted by a knock at the door.

"Zu-Bin, could you go get it? I'm on a roll with this outfit." Ataru erased and drew again on his sketch pad, sticking his tongue out a bit, at the side. Zu-Bin sighed, put the guitar against the chair, and widely, opened the door.

"Hi Master Zu-Bin, you're wanted at the meeting, oh!" Suki blushed a bit, seeing Ataru sketching Zuko, half-naked. Zuko blushed in embarrassment again.

"Ah, thank you Suki. Well Zuko, I will see you later." Zuko quickly came to realization.

"Wait, meeting? How come I wasn't invited?"

"Bye now." Zu-Bin left the room

"Zu-Bin!" Zuko growled.

"Hey Zuko!" Suki smirked. "Nice boxers."

"Thanks, Zu-! Wait a minute…" Zuko went back to embarrassment world while Suki giggled, closing the door, walking back to Katara's room where all of the girls hanged out for a bit.
