A/N: Ok, this is my first fanfic, so I hope you all like it!

Chapter One – Eww…

Zuko almost gagged as his Uncle Iroh took off his shoes.

"Uncle!" Zuko gasped. "What are you doing?"

"Why, I'm taking off my shoes," Iroh replied.

"I know that!" Zuko retorted. "But why?"

"Because you are going to give your loving uncle a foot massage."

Zuko had to stop himself from gagging again. Iroh couldn't possible be serious… could he?

"I will not touch your feet!" Zuko yelled, exasperated. "How do you expect me to capture the Avatar if I'm sitting here massaging your smelly feet?"

"Zuko," Iroh replied. "I am disappointed in you. Have your past experiences taught you nothing? Capturing the Avatar takes time and patience! How do you expect to capture the Avatar if you can not understand the value of time? Massaging my feet will not help you capture the Avatar, but it will teach you a lesson. Now, be a good nephew and come learn some patience."

Seeing that his uncle would not be deterred, Zuko gave in and grudgingly grabbed one of his uncle's feet, holding his breath. He began to massage Iroh's feet, when his uncle said, "Don't forget to get in between the toes!"

Zuko screamed and woke up in a cold sweat.

He looked around and rubbed his eyes, realizing that it had all just been a dream.

"Good afternoon, Zuko," Iroh said, taking a seat beside his nephew. He lookedclosely at Zuko and said, "Zuko, you do not look well. Are you feeling alright?"

"I... guess," Zuko said with a sigh. "I just had a horrible nightmare! I had to massage your feet!"

Iroh smiled and said, "Well there's a great idea!" He then began taking off his shoes.

Zuko, knowing what would happen next, did not wait for his uncle to finish. Without warning, he jumped up and ran onto the deck of the boat to escape Iroh's horrid feet. However, he did not get very far before getting hit on the back of the head with a heavy object. Without even a cry of pain, Zuko fell to the ground, unconscious.

A/N: Ok, I know that this is a really short chapter, but new chapters are coming soon! Please R&R, and I'll put up more when I get the chance!
