-1Zuko.

Yes, Zuko.

I don't like him.

Oh, yes, you do.

I'm not in love with him. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not.

Sorry, honey, but it's true. You are, you are, you are.

He's our enemy.

People can change.

He doesn't like me.

But he does.

Since when?

For a long time now.

sigh

I'm wearing you down.

No, you aren't.

Yes, I am.

Grrr…

Ha.

Shut up.

Make me.

pauses Sokka would kill me. And he loathes Zuko.

Since when do you listen to Sokka?

Since when do I listen to you?

I am you.

sigh

Besides, Sokka is overprotective, anyway.

I know. But Zuko and I, we're polar opposites.

Opposites attract.

If Zuko and I started going out, then his sister and her friends would murder me, too.

You can take them, especially with Zuko's help. Anger is a powerful weapon.

I can't betray my friends.

It wouldn't be betrayal. Besides, you could persuade him to join you guys, and his uncle -- Wait a minute, did you just say 'if you and Zuko started going out?'

I meant it hypothetically.

No, you didn't.

Yeah, I did.

But you are in love with Zuko.

How many times do I need to tell you, I'm not.

You're just in denial.

What!

Yep. You're in denial. And it's my job to snap you out of it.

Oh, is that what you're trying to do here?

Pretty much, yeah.

Well, then keep trying. It'll take a while.

I will.

You do that.

Hey, remember when Aang had to go into the Spirit World when you were at the North Pole?

That's completely irreleva--

Are you going to answer my question or not? That's very impolite, you know. Do you remember?

Yes.

And then Zuko appeared to imprison Aang?

Yeah, but--

And then you fought him?

Uh-huh. But where is this going?

Gosh, be patient. You'll see.

Go on…

You were using rather fancy moves.

I was testing them out! I had only just learned them!

Maybe. But you were also trying to impress Zuko, and you know it.

No, I wasn't!

Quit denying it and admit..

What's to deny?

ignores Zuko was using pretty extravagant forms as well.

That's only because I was! Like Master Pakku said that one time, you need to fight advanced bending with advanced bending,

It's only because he wanted to show off to you.

Fine then. He likes me.

It's more than just a crush.

Stop acting like that!

Whatever.

Anyway, just because he likes--

Loves!

­-- Likes me doesn't mean I feel the same way.

But you do!

Nope, I don't.

Can you prove it?

What? How?

Aha! You can't! See my point?

No.

Oi.

Hey, just because I don't have solid proof doesn't mean I have no common sense!

Common sense hardly matters in this case. You have no proof.

I have had a strange case of amnesia and do not remember the last four things you said.

Fair enough. That's fine. But you have fallen for Zuko.

No, I have not! covers ears

Do you remember when you stole that water bending scroll from the pirates?

No.

Zuko found and captured you because of it.

No.

He tied you to a tree.

No.

He was acting all macho, wanting to impress you.

No.

Sadly, you didn't notice.\

uncovers ears Yes, I did notice him trying to impress me. And I admit, it kinda worked.

What was that?

Yes, I did notice.

Say it again!

I noticed.

And he did impress you.

Not really. I said "kinda," and a lot less at that time than later.

Told you that you liked him.

Shut up.

A/N- Love this concept. I got the idea from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, I think that's the one, when Harry's having a conversation in his head about dating Ginny. And, bam, I thought of this.
