Ch. 1

" What?"

Iroh walked down the halls of the ship very happy to break the news to Zuko.

Hope he doesn't get mad, he should be happy for me…he thought. He paused feeling nervous to open the door of the obnoxious, mean, spoiled prince. "Hello! Zuko, fine day isn't it?" "What so fine about today?.. I heard that you were leaving, is that true?" Iroh suddenly felt guilty for leaving him, "yes, today, I'm going to see my wife who happened to give birth 3 days ago". Zuko was mad on the inside, can't believe he'll just leave me in the middle of my training, UNBELIEVEABLE!

" I know what your thinking now Zuko ' you cant believe that I'm leaving you at such a crucial time of your training', don't worry I already hired an experienced trainer for you", after saying that Iroh left, for he was on the verge of crying. Zuko, now mad but happy for his uncle walked on deck and stared into the azure, choppy ocean below.

Her arms grew tired as she rowed the rowboat towards the fire nation ship.

Gosh, hope he isn't as obnoxious as Iroh said he was…She thought to herself.

She was very caught up in her thoughts that she rowed straight into the ship.

"Crap!" Zuko heard a bang on the side of the ship so he went to investigate. He saw a girl climbing the ship ladder. "What the…", he was cut of by Iroh " ahh yes! Your trainer has arrived!", he now wore the biggest smile of all time, he intentionally picked a girl to train Zuko, to mess around with him. Zuko stood there in shock with his mouth wide open, his face got even paler and balls of fire appeared around his fists. With gritted teeth, " you cant be serious, I'm going to be trained be a girl!". Zuko now lost it, he screamed into the heavens with a fiery mouth. He gave a death glare towards Iroh and then stormed off to his room to meditate. She finally lifted herself over the railing to see a rather large round man smiling at her. "Uh, hello" she managed to say. "Hello! You must be my nephews trainer", with that he grabbed her into a tight hug. "I'm Iroh by the way, what is your name?" She answered politely, " Katara, my name is Katara", " such a beautiful name" she offered him a smile, " so where is Zuko?" Iroh quickly explained " oh, um, he went to meditate in his room." "I don't leave for another hour, lets go have some tea'.
