A/N: hehehe! 1st fic here! Oh yeah I'm good! Actually the 'can this get any weirder' was just a parody and a total wipeout! So now…let's…get…it…on…with…the reading!
Chapter: Collision…(seriously!)
Through the seas…a certain banished prince, sulks…he was wishing he could come home and be loved…yes, love…that's what he wanted…unfortunately, that can't happen unless he brings home the Avatar and then…he can bring home his honor and earn his father's respect…ah, if only wishes come true…
"It's been 2 years, uncle…" Prince Zuko said looking at the distant sea…looking at the rising sun at the horizon
"Huh?" said a sleepy Ihro…a proud general, an uncle to his nephew, Prince Zuko…
"How I wish to come home, not only for repairing the ship, but with the Avatar, my honor and my father's respect" he said in calmed tone the he let out an angry breathe of fire at a bird that passed by and the bird was fried to a crisp and then Ihro moved to him and covered him with a blanket and said to him
"It's getting late Prince Zuko…you should rest…"
"I don't need to rest, uncle…" he said angrily
"Okay…but remember…it's still 11:32 pm…"
black fog covers the docks…8:35 am…sailing towards and Earth kingdom's docks…
"Prince Zuko" said a fire solider "we will be docking soon at the earth kingdom's docks…"
"Thank you…report back to your post…" he said firmly
"Yes sir…" the solider left and a few minutes later, Ihro came by…
"Hello there Prince Zuko" he said cheerfully "Did you sleep well?"
"Yes…" he said nonchalantly…
"We will docking now…" he said and when Ihro turned around the ship crashed into something and some people on Prince Zuko's ship went overboard and into the water just then Ihro fell face flat on the cold iron deck and Prince Zuko got hold the ship's railings and was able to ask the captain which he fell from the look out post
"What's going on!" he asked angrily then the captain replied
"We…crashed…" the captain was knocked out, (unconscious for the slow people out there…no offense )
later…after the situation was taken care of and they finally docked…
"Report…now…" Prince Zuko said to the three of the fire soldiers while he gave the ice bag to his Uncle Ihro
"Sir" one of them spoke up "There was a collision…with another ship…"
"Our scouts said it's another fire nation ship…" said another
"The ship is damaged, but luckily the earth kingdom can repair our ship…" said the third solider and Prince Zuko was massaging his aching head…
"Thank you…you are dismissed…" he said calculating the repair cost of the ship and the three fire soldiers left the deck
"Uncle…I'll go check who's the idiot that crashed our ship…" Prince Zuko angrily walked out the deck and his uncle followed him and when he got off the ship he saw what looks like the owner in a fire nation armor, was angrily yelling at an old man with grey hair, pointing at the almost sunken-ship.
"Pretty big for a hole" the old man said, trying to smile at the situation
"I'm serious!" the other person yelled "Do you realize what it has done? Father will really kill me! Grandpa, I will seriously haunt you if I die…" and on he went, telling the old man what would happen if her father will kill him and dies…
Prince Zuko approached them and the old man looked at General Ihro, who was behind Prince Zuko then General Ihro face lit up as he saw the old man and the old man also had the same expression on his face and opened his arms
"Ihro!" the old man walked to General Ihro
"Shou!" Ihro said and they both laughed out loud…Prince Zuko, feeling that his uncle is a bit childish for his age
"Is there something I don't know?" he asked impatiently
"Prince Zuko" Ihro said "This was my old friend when I was your age…this is Shou" then Ihro looked back at his friend
"Shou, this is my nephew, Prince Zuko…" then Shou smiled
"Really? You know Ihro…I have a niece too! And you know what else?..." then he whispered something in his ear then they both laughed, and Prince Zuko was already having this resentful thought of what his Uncle and his crazy friend was planning
"That might work, Shou!" Ihro commented, and laughed
"Look uncle Ihro!" Prince Zuko dispute with his uncle "I don't know what your planning but it won't work!" just then…the on e Shou was talking to before
"Grandpa Shou!" they all looked back at the other person Shou was talking to before, whoever it was…it look really mad and was about to do some serious firebending at Shou, the old man Ihro was talking to…
"Ayame…come here!" Shou looked back at Ihro and laughed quietly.
"How annoying…" Prince Zuko uttered under his breathe and they saw…a girl in a fire nation armor…the same one Prince Zuko has…she had raven black hair and pale complexion…she had grey eyes and firm expression on her face
"Grandpa Shou…" she looked annoyed at the old man "This isn't the time to-"
"Ihro my friend," he interrupted the girl "this is my niece…Ayame…Princess of the eastern Fire nation" he smiled then Ihro was puzzled
"Why does she call you 'Grandpa' if you're her uncle?" Ihro asked then Shou laughed
"Ah, well Ihro my friend…I'm really old now and I don't think I look like an uncle…plus I wanted to be called Grandpa…but I never had children…" then he smiled
"You're still as confusing as you were when we were kids!" Ihro laughed, so did Shou
"This is so annoying…" Prince Zuko and Ayame said together…then, just then did Ayame noticed Prince Zuko…she was feeling a bit uneasy because he glared at her and Ayame was at the sensitive type…but she had this perplexing reaction in her stomach when she looked at Prince Zuko…
"Princess Ayame…" Ihro called her attention and she looked at Ihro with a blank look
"I am General Ihro…" Ayame smiled at him "And this is Prince Zuko…my nephew…" then Ayame looked at the glaring Prince…she tried to say something but he was looking away…so she kept quiet then Shou smirked and gave Ihro a 'put-the-plan-into-action' expression
"Well…" Ihro wanted to add more to the embarrassing situation "If you feel like you need company…we will be at the other ship…" Ihro pointed to the ship that collided with their ship, with a very big hole on its side…
"What?" Ayame practically yelled at Shou "Why didn't you tell me these were the culprits?" she pointed at them, and Prince Zuko, hearing this, retorted
"So it is your ship then!" he said, both glaring at each other
"Yeah? You have problem?" Ayame snapped at him
"Yes I do! You better pay for the repairs!"
"Me? Well excuse me! You're the one who wasn't watching where they were going and crashed our ships together!"
"I don't care!"
"I don't care, either!" they both didn't face each other and it look like they weren't on speaking terms, Ihro and Shou were looking at each other, the situation was exceeding precautiously(in other words…getting risky! for the slow people out there!)
"Look at them…" Ihro whispered to Shou
"Arguing like an old married couple!" Shou added and they laughed, upon hearing this, Prince Zuko and Princess Ayame retorted.
"So not gonna happen…" Ayame yelled at her Grandpa
"Stop this foolishness, Uncle Ihro!" Prince Zuko said
"Look who's acting foolish here" Ayame commented to herself
"I heard that!" Prince Zuko was ready to do some serious firebending with this girl
"There, there! We shouldn't fight now!" Ihro sweatdropped…
"Ihro's right!" Shou added "You two will find a way!"
"Fine by me…" Ayame said to herself
"Couldn't have said it better myself!" Prince Zuko said
"I have to go now, Grandpa…" Ayame said to Shou "I still have to meet the earthlord…" she started walking away from them and started to curse about everything that was in her way…
"Stupid Grandpa Shou!" she used her firebending skills at a bird that passed by and burned its tail and it flew away, squawking away…another bird was coming…
"Stupid mission!" she burned the bird that flew by…
"Stupid! Stupid! STUPID PRINCE ZUKO!" she burned a nearby tree just then, a bucket of water swashed over the burning tree…it was Prince Zuko…
"What is it this time?" she asked intensely
"I'm coming with you…" and it felt like the entire world, no…sky was falling…Ayame anger of him quickly slipped away and instead of anger…she was filled with confusion
"Excuse me?" she asked and Zuko threw the bucket away
"I don't need to repeat what I said…" he said
"But! How?" Ayame asked, but Prince Zuko didn't reply so she let out an exasperated sigh…
"This sucks…"Ayame utter to herself "Well…coming or not, I'm going alone…" she said to Zuko and walked away
"I know it was nice meeting you and all but I have to visit the Earth lord! Bye!" she said but Prince Zuko caught her collar and he said to her
"I overheard your grandpa and my uncle…" he said "I'm responsible for you…"
"Then you would like to come with me? The one who recklessly broke your ship?" she said sarcastically, Prince Zuko didn't reply…so she just let out exasperated sigh…
"Fine…but don't get any ideas that we would be getting along…" Zuko released her and Ayame walked before him…
"God…this sucks…" she said to herself…
