Diclaimer: If I owned Avatar then Suki would be dead.
Zuko was walking through the Ember Island market, when someone came up to him. At first Zuko feared it was Azula, or a member of the Fire Nation army. But it turned out to be none of that at all.
"Hi, mister!" A young boy, of ten said. He was dressed in tradtional Fire Nation clothes.
"Hello." Zuko calmly responded.
"I was wondering if- if" The boy began to shift from one foot to the other, and give Zuko his best puppy dog eyes.
But Zuko, who had been living with the Avatar, for a decent amount of time, knew what he was doing.
"I will not give you anything!" Zuko harshly muttered at the boy. Then the short boy began to tug on the hem of Zuko's robe.
"Just one bronze piece Mister!" The boy moaned. Zuko was sure he was facing the Avatar all over again, but instead of begging to finish lessons, he was begging to have a bronze piece.
"No!" Zuko harshly whispered. He yanked his robe out of the boy's reach. "I don't care how hard you beg and please, I will not give you any!" Zuko said to the boy.
Suddenly a cat-like grin grew on the boy's face.
"That's not what your mom said last night." The boy smirked and left.
A week later, the boy was found frozen in a block of ice, under a pile of horse-cow manure.
111. Ending a conversation with Zuko as "That's not what your mom said last night" is not funny, and never will be.
