Title: He's a Girl
As promised, I made a fanfic emphasizing the "Zutara" shipping. Um, the story is kinda farfetched because, Zuko? Being turned into a girl? I mean, come on! I'm sure that's never going to happen unless cats and dogs fall out from the sky. But that's what makes stories fun to read. So I do hope you guys are gonna enjoy reading this chapter.

Chapter 1: I'm A Girl!
Hi! I'm Zuko. You might be wondering why Zuko's my name for you can clearly see that I'm a woman and that Zuko is a man's name. But believe it or not, I'm a guy! Get it? G – U – Y. You might not believe me but I'm not kidding. Want to know why I ended up like this? Here's my story:
"My life has seriously crashed into a million pieces!" I moaned, burying my head in my hands.
"I think you are overreacting," Iroh, my uncle soothed. "So what if Mai broke up with you. I think there is a pretty good reason for her to do that. There's still some hope."
"Hope for what?" I stated. "Mai's no longer with me. Everything's being torn apart!"
Uncle Iroh, tapped his chin with his finger. "For your relationship problem, I think you should be consulted with a professional to deal with your turmoil."
I stared at him, my eyes widened. "I don't need therapy!"
"Trust me, nephew," Uncle Iroh assured. "You are going to like it. Hmm… Aha! I know the right person who can help you."
"A doctor?" I questioned. I gazed at the bright fuchsia tent.
"A love doctor," uncle corrected. "He once helped me to find the woman I'll truly love."
"True Love? Are you serious?"I asked.
He nodded. "And I'm sure he's the one who can help you."
"No way. No way I'm going inside that tent!" I objected. The next thing I knew, I was pushed, pulled and dragged until we finally made it inside.
I saw a dark figure at the end of the tent.
"Welcome. I'm Chin Lu," the figure said. "How can I help you."
"I can't believe I'm actually going to do these," I gritted through my teeth.
"Iroh? Could that possibly be you?" Chin Lu said.
As usual, my uncle would laugh like an out of tune Tsungi Horn and shake hands with an old friend.
"It's really nice to see you again," my uncle stated. "My nephew has a very tight problem, as you can see."
Chin Lu stepped into the light, and that's when I got a pretty good look at him. He was really old. 80 years old, perhaps? He was wearing old and tattered robes. The robes were probably as old as him. "Ohh… I see. I can sense it's about ladies, am I right? Well, you've come to the right place," Chin Lu agreed.
"I'll be leaving you two alone," uncle said.
"What! I'm not staying," I objected.
"Zuko, listen to me. If you want to solve this, you have to talk to him. He will figure something out," my uncle assured again. He went outside, leaving me alone, in this dark and spooky tent, with this dark and spooky guy.
"It's Zuko, isn't it? Please take a seat and we'll work things out," Chin Lu said.
"Come on Zuko," I said to myself. "You can do these. Just take a deep breath. This is all going to end pretty soon." I took a seat. The chair's really soft and fluffy.
"Feeling comfortable?" he asked.
"I guess so," I responded.
"So tell me about your problem," he asked.
"There's this girl I was deeply in love with. I thought she feels the same way but," I clenched my fists. "I guess not."
Chin Lu fell silent. I could sense he was thinking. I don't want to get my hopes up but I do hope he could give me advice.
After a few seconds, he stood up and went to his cabinet. He was searching for something. I leaned to my left to get a good a good look at what he's doing.
"Here we go," he announced. I saw him carrying a big black chest. He placed it on the table. "This will help you."
"A chest?" I remarked. 'An old, black chest is supposed to help me?"
"What's inside the chest is what matters," he told me. "And I'm sure it can help you." He took out a key from his robe and opened the chest. He revealed to me a vial of pink liquid.
"Uh, I'm going to drink this, aren't I?" I said.
"Isn't it obvious?" he smiled. He handed me the vial. Even though uncle told me to listen to him, I was very cautious.
"What's it going to do to me?" I asked.
"You'll find out sooner or later," he smiled again.
"I can't drink something from a weird bottle without knowing the effect," I protested. "I need to know."
"It's going to help you find the right girl, your true love," he reassured me.
Maybe I should trust him instead. Besides, Uncle Iroh told me that if there's one person who could help me, he's the right person. I shrugged and drank the liquid. It was really sweet. "What now?"
"Now, you go home. Tomorrow morning, you'll find something different about yourself," Chin Lu said.
"That's it? You're not going to give me any advice or make me do stuff?" I jerked.
"The only advice I can give you is to have some rest," he placed the vial inside the chest. He motioned towards the cabinet. "As I said, you'll find everything surprising when you wake up."
Oh no. What's going to happen to me? What if the vial is going to give me pimples on my butt? Another scar? Or maybe I'll wake up with a big lion turtle next to me. I'm starting to feel a little bit queasy right now. "Um, are you sure I'm going to be all right?"
He smiled. "I assure you, everything's going to be fine. Now run along. Your uncle is waiting for you outside."
"Thank you, sir," I bowed and went outside. I saw my uncle beaming at me.
"So? How was it?" he asked.
"It was fine," I responded.
"What did he tell you?" he questioned.
'He just said that something's going to be different. I don't know where or what it is," I replied.
Uncle laughed. He placed his arms around my shoulder. "Whatever it is, I'm certain that everything will work out."
"Cock-a-doddle-doooo!" a rooster shouted. Yawn! It's finally morning. I've got to get up because Azula might use up all the shampoo. I stretched my arms and got out of bed. That's funny. Everything seems brighter today. I guess that creepy love doctor was right. I do feel a little bit different today. Wait a second. There's a breeze entering my pants. Woah! Why am I wearing a frilly skirt? Why do I have a big scar at my left hand? And where did I get this stupid bracelet? I reached to my back, and I can feel my hair. It grew longer! I stared at my chest. Somehow, it grew larger than it usually was! Oh no! I dashed to the mirror. I can see a girl with golden brown eyes, rosy lips and black hair flowing to her hips. I glanced at the reflection. No. This can't be me. I should have a scar in my face. This must be one of Azula's crazy tricks. But what if this is me? There's only one way to find out. I slowly thrust my feminine hand towards the mirror. And then it happened.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I scream. Instead of my deep, manly scream, out came a high pitched shriek from my throat. "I'M TURNED INTO A GIRL!" My mind was running fast. "No no no no no!" I screamed in my head. "This has got to be a bad dream." I pinched myself. Ouch! No such luck. "What am I going to do? I can't go and let other people see me like this! Oh my gosh! Wait, did I just say 'oh my gosh'? Now I'm acting like a real girl! AAAAAHHHHH!"
"YOU DID THIS TO ME!" I thundered at Chin Lu. "I want you to find me a girl not to turn me into one!"
"I am very sorry about my methods, Prince Zuko," Chin Lu gulped his breakfast. "But this is the most effective way of finding the right person for you."
"Effective? I don't think giving me a large chest is an effective way," I pointed at my newly-formed boobs. "You never told me I'm going to end up like this!"
"Well I did tell you that you're going to be surprised that you're going to be different when you wake up," he reasoned.
"Yeah! It did surprise me to death!" I barked.
He put down his empty plate. "I don't usually entertain people with problems just like yours. Consider yourself lucky."
I rolled my eyes. "Yeah right. I really am lucky. Look, just turn me back to normal and I promise you will never ever see my face again."
"I'm afraid I can't help you this time," he replied.
"What?!?" I exclaimed. "You're kidding, right?"
He shook his head. "I am very sorry to say this but I'm serious. I can't turn you back to normal."
I grabbed his robe. "Please! You have to turn me back into me again! I don't want a train to 'Humiliation Nation'! I'll do anything just give me my body back!" I pleaded.
"You already heard me for the second time around. I can't do anything. The potion only wears off when you find the right girl."
"I think I won't be able to find someone who's as good or even better than Mai in an instant. It's going to take me forever! And you know forever is such a very long time. I can't be a girl for an eternity!"
"Prince Zuko, if you are capable to have a girlfriend before then I am certain you can find another girl that captivates your heart."
"You have two problems in your sentence. First, I don't think the title 'prince' is appropriate right now. Second, I'm not that good when it comes to love."
"Then I'm going for the next best thing, I'm going to pick the girl for you."
"No way. Uh- uh. There's no way I'm going to let you play matchmaker for me. Fine. I'll try to find this girl so I can have my body back. If I found my true love and I'll still look like this, I'm going to sue you." I went outside.
"Wait. If you need help, I'm the right person to talk to," he beamed.
"Sorry, but I think you already 'helped' me enough," I snorted.
There. That's what happened. Very tragic huh? (sigh) What am I supposed to do? Maybe I'll go to another country, change my totally awesome name and start a new life. No. I'm going to find this girl. I'm going to get my body, not to mention my voice back. This I swear!
Well, that's it for now. I decided to right this fanfic after I watched a movie about a boy and a girl who accidentally, switched bodies when they stared at weird statue. Not a pretty great source for an inspiration, huh? Well, I do hope you liked it. I would also like you guys to read some of my stories.
