My second story EVER here! PLEASE do not criticize the pairing, it's not like you're required to read it.

Oh, well. Please R&R!

Chapter One

Zuko stumbled slightly as he tried to make it towards to the... 63rd costumer for the day. He inched slowly to the table, making sure the ginseng tea wouldn't spill.

It was yet another busy day at the tea shop, and "Lee" was having problems. He was balancing four trays of orders: one in each of his hands, one on his head, and another one tipping on his left knee (He was even holding a teapot in his mouth). So he had to hop.

Which is making me look ridiculous, Zuko thought miserably. He took a deep breath and inched forward. Just a little closer...

But then, the tray on his head caught his attention. He looked up and frowned, determined to not let it spill. He continued to hop, not even bothering to watch where he was going. He was so close, but then...

CRASH!

He collided with a young lady. She seemed to be from the Upper Ring, with her fancy getup--a ritzy dress, a fan, big jewelry, the blue eyeshadow--and all.

But Zuko's eyes widened, realizing that...

The girl had those familiar blue eyes.
