Ty Lee smirked as she watched Zuko attempt a handstand. "You're doing it wrong, ZuZu. You're not supposed to fall over!" Zuko glared up at her from his position on the floor. "Really? I never would have guessed," he muttered sarcastically. She grinned as she helped him up. "It's official. You're hopeless." Zuko sighed. "Yeah, it's too bad. I always wanted to be a circus freak." Ty Lee stuck out her tongue as she danced away. Zuko sighed and shook his head. He had never been able to understand that girl. He looked up to see her watching him from the doorway. When their eyes met, she smiled and blew him a kiss. He blinked. When he opened his eyes, she was gone.
"Ty Lee? What are you doing?" Zuko yelled, staring up at the acrobat perched on a rafter in the ceiling. She jumped, startled, and fell of the beam, catching herself at the last minute. His eyes widened and he shouted, "Ty Lee! Hang on; are you ok?" She grinned down at him, easily flipping herself back onto the rafter and sliding down a pole, landing in front of him. "Hi, ZuZu!" He rolled his eyes. "Show-off."
"ZuZu?" a tired voice murmured. Zuko bolted upright in his chair. "Ty Lee! You're awake!" She stared at him from the infirmary bed she was lying on. "Wh-What happened?" "One of you're tricks. You fell. Ty Lee, you fell and you wouldn't wake up!" Suko whispered in a tortured voice. She grinned weakly. "Why, ZuZu, I'd almost think you cared." He gave her a trembling grin and bent down to press a kiss to her forehead before leaving the room. "Bye, ZuZu," she whispered. "I love you, too."
