Chapter 1 - Morning
Zuko: "There's something in this world that no one has ever seen.
It's something kind and sweet.
If people were to see it, they'd yearn to have it."
Toph: "That's why the world hid it;
So that it wouldn't be so easy to find."
Zuko: "But someday, someone will definitely find it."
Toph:"The one who is supposed to find it, will be the one to find it."
Toph/Zuko: "That's just how it is."
*Beep Beep Beep*
The sound of an, alarm was all that could be heard as it drowned out the chirps of the birds outside the bedroom window.
The hand of a young man reached over to the alarm and,
*Click*
with that it was off and the chirps could once again be heard.
He didn't know why he always kept that alarm on. He was always up by the time the sun peeked over the hills, and began colouring the land with it's magnificent rays of light.
He walked to the bathroom where he looked at himself in the mirror
"Those magazines are a lie." he said referring to his new haircut that was suppose to make him look "Nice & Friendly".
With a sigh he more than willingly pulled himself away from the mirror, then proceeded to take a shower.
Once he was done showering and completely drying himself off, he went towards his bedroom closet where he pulled out his school's uniform, which consisted of some slacks, a long sleeved shirt, and a vest. Once he was finished getting dressed. He went downstairs where he was greeted.
"Good Morning" said the kind voice of an older man
"Morning" he replied a bit dully.
"Will you be joining me for breakfast?" Asked the older man
"Yeah" he replied and then he sat down.
They ate their breakfast in a comfortable silence that both of them enjoyed.
"I have to get going" said the younger man as he stood up.
"Ah yes I forgot it's the first day of school. Good Luck" the older man replied supportingly.
As the younger man was walking toward the door when he saw his reflection in the mirror and stopped right in his tracks. The older man noticed this and knew exactly what he was looking at.
"Yes, Yes you are very handsome indeed, now get going or you'll be late for school."
"Pfft" was all the younger man muttered before going out the door.
When the younger man left the older man began cleaning up and setting up the shop. He cracked open the windows to let in some of the morning sunlight only to be reminded of the enormous appartment building that had just recently been built a few months back. It completely eclipse their small home/shop. the old man smiled though he didn't get the morning sunlight he'd hoped for he couldn't help but feel happy.
"I have a feeling this year will be an interesting one for you Zuko."
And with that Iroh continued sweeping the shop while whistling his favourite tune "Brave Soldier Boy".
A/N : Well that's the first chapter! Some of you probably noticed this story will be heavily influenced by one of my fauvorite anime called ********. Hmm maybe I shouldn't say which anime is it.
R&R are greatly appreciated :D
