The young fire nation teenager was lying on the soft grass. There was no wind that day, but the Sun wasn't sizzling, so the temperature was just right... Some birds fleew from the top of an old oak, but the boy didn't noticed, or probably didn't cared anyway. His eyes were shut, arms crossed under his head, but this comfy position din't mean he was sleeping. He wasn't tired, nor was he used to sleep in such good condicions...

But he liked it.

Finally he could relax for the first time in the whole year. These 12 months were so stressfull, he has acctually forgotten what the word „relax" means. Perhaps his „teamates" were right? Maybe he does need some rest?

I don't care right now... He heard his iner voice.

Me neither. His tired body agreed.

-Zuko?

What does he need now? I'm not in the mood to teach him some fire tricks.

-Yes Aang?- he asked and opened his right eye, so that the boy knew Zuko sees him, and is not talking in his sleep.

-Can I ask you something ? You know, „boy talk"? – Aang's voice was a bit different right now.

-Mhm... Can't you ask Sokka?

- Well, his tongue sometimes gets out of control, and is useless for storing secrets... Plus, you know MUCH more than him anyway.- the young boy emphacised the last sentence for a reason : Zuko liked when he was praised. He hadn't got much compliments in his lifetime...

-What is it? – the prince opened his scarred eye now.

- The thing is... Well, when we were in Ba Sing Sei, I went to a pub... A bar... Or maybe it was a restaurant?- Aang thought for a moment.- There was a girl there, with green eyes, black hair...

Why did I even ask??? Zuko'sbrain sighed.

-...So then we had a chat. She was chatty, yet very friendly. And we talked : about animals, food, art, geology, and then about animals again!- Aang smiled as he recalled the chatty girl, but Zuko wasn't happy. He looked at Aang giving his famous „Zuko is annoyed!" glare.

-Errr... To cut long story short...

Works every time...

-She then started to talk about girls and boys... And she said something I never heard before...

Zuko's eyes widened in horror – he never thought he had to explain THIS once!

-Zuko, what is sex?

That question felt like a whip – sudden, short and painfull.

-Are you sure you want to know, Aang? – He asked while standing up.

But he knew those curious eyes wanted to know every detail.

-Well ...– Zuko sighed.
