A. N. The teahouse (the Jasmine Dragon) will be open for more than just a day and it obviously happens during the season finale, before Katara runs off and tells Suki who was actually Azula. Iroh (now known as Mushi) says that he needs another person to help him make the tea and he ends up hiring a girl. Zuko (Lei) is not happy). It took me a little bit longer to find the right names for some of the characters.

Warning: There will be the occasional swear, like damn, hell, ahole, and bloody. There will also be some occasional spoilers, maybe in "A Fork In The Road."

Disclaimer: I own Avatar: The Last Airbender as much as I own Nickelodeon, I don't.

Zuko is called Lei and Iroh is called Mushi.

It had been a week since the Jasmine Dragon teahouse had opened and it seemed like more and more people were coming to enjoy the wonderful tea. It was hard to keep up with all the orders, especially since they made the tea and others served it. But life was pretty good and stable for Zuko; he could even enjoy making his uncle happy with some very difficult things, like smiling a little for the customers. That was until his uncle's new bright idea.

Zuko's P.O.V.

"Nephew, I have a great idea! It will help us in the teahouse." Iroh (also known as Mushi) said. "I'm confident that you'll love it."

Great. Another idea that Uncle thinks I'll love. What is it this time, tea flavored candy?

"What is it this time Uncle?" Zuko (also known as Lei) asked, bored with the topic.

"We need to hire someone to help us make more tea. That way, we can expand and try more flavors and varieties." Iroh replied excitedly.

What? We don't need anyone else to help us out here!

"I don't think we need anyone to help us. They would just get in the way." Zuko irately replied.

"I've even talked to the nice men that helped us with the Jasmine Dragon and they think it's a great idea. They have even picked someone out for us. They will bring that person right over in two days. Isn't it wonderful!" Iroh replied happily.

"You what!" Zuko yelled. How could he do this? With everything that's happened. With our lives on the line. He could have at least told me ahead of time before whoever shows up, not just two freaking days.

"That's right." Iroh said.

"What if they figure out who we are?" Zuko said, not as loud as he was the first time, but could probably awaken the neighbors.

"Don't worry. They wouldn't find out if we're careful." Iroh said.

"Fine. But don't expect me to be nice to this person, whoever they are." Zuko replied, angry.

"Good. It's settled. I just can't wait to meet them." Iroh said happily, having won the argument.

Zuko just mumbled, "I can."

A.N. I know it's a short chapter, but it's the beginning so the chapters should be longer. Next chapter should be up real soon. R&R.
