AN: I don't own Avatar. The War is over and the Fire Nation is now a council run nation. Zuko tries to find his way after Iroh passes on.

Lucid Fortune

It had just started to rain on the hill top Iroh was buried at. Zuko read the tombstone, there were tears in his eyes but the rain made it hard to tell. General Iroh, may he forever be at peace with his son it said. The Gaang was behind Zuko standing in silence. They all knew nothing they could say would help Zuko right now.

"Zuko everything will be alright" Katara said trying to cheer him up.

"No, I've lost the only person who ever truly loved me." Zuko said in a hushed voice.

"Zuko" Katara said in a sad voice.

"Don't you get it? The only person who thought I was worth anything is dead! I have nobody!" Zuko shouted with anger and pain in his voice.

"You still have us, we care about you." Katara said in response.

Zuko calmed down. He felt slightly better now that he had vented.

"I don't know what to do. All I know is fighting and being a prince. With the war over and the new government in the Fire Nation I'm not needed." Zuko said with much confusion in his voice.

"Iroh new a lot about tea, he must have taught you something about it." Toph said speaking up.

"I know tea, so what?" Zuko questioned Toph.

"Jeez, I thought Sokka was slow, open a tea shop hothead." Toph said annoyed.

"Uncle Iroh and I had one before; I can probably get the same building." Zuko said finally cheering up.

"Yeah we'll all come to the opening!" Aang said jumping into the air excited.

Two weeks later the Jasmine Dragon was open for business in Ba Sing Se. Zuko found out quickly that running a tea shop yourself was not an easy task. The shop was as busy as if it had never closed. The Gaang offered to help but Zuko refused saying it would be even harder to run when they left.

The shop had slowed down towards the end of the day, the few people there kept to themselves. The Gaang decided to say there goodbyes and left. Zuko had started counting the day's profits when the bell above the door sounded that someone had entered.

"Take a seat anywhere I'll be with you in a second." Zuko said without lifting his head to see who the customer was.

Zuko put the day's profits down and walked over to the new customer to take an order.

"Good evening and welcome to the Jasmine Dragon, may I take your order.

"Hello Lee, or should I say prince Zuko" said a familiar voice.

Zuko was shocked at the memory of the voice but finally managed to say "Jin is that you?"
