Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to Avatar or Nickelodeon.

AN: Because I would if I could.

+ Realized that I forgot to spell check the title, so that is fixed. I do appreciate reviews. Would it help if I asked kindly? Even if you just want to tell me what's wrong, any input right now is better than no input!

Adviser Aang

"I wish you wouldn't do that."

Aang only grinned at Zuko as the pompous, no, formerly pompous noble fled the Fire Lord's throne room.

"I don't know what you are talking about," Aang replied innocently. "He wished to speak with the Avatar so I merely accommodated him."

"He wanted to speak with Avatar Aang! Aang!"

"You're just hearing what you want to hear," Aang put on a show of being put off by the Fire Lord's words. "I clearly heard him say that he wished to speak with THE Avatar, not Avatar Aang."

"I know you don't like him, but that is no reason to be difficult!"

Aang shot Zuko an annoyed glare.

"I give the man exactly what he wants and you call me difficult? Really, what do they teach you in those Fire Nation schools anyway?"

Zuko resisted the urge to face-palm himself. He had thought it was a good thing to have the Avatar assisting his nation in bringing peace. What he hadn't counted on was that Aang, despite his sense of duty to his position, found the politics to be tedious and the people who practiced politics to be unpleasant.

Thus, Aang had started to make the best of it, finding his amusement where he could.

"Sokka put you up to it, didn't he?" Zuko sighed, massaging his temples. It was amusing; really it was, but also so very frustrating.

Aang smiled, understanding that Zuko wasn't truly upset with him.

"He gave me the idea and I expanded it a bit. Overall, I think it worked out wonderfully!"

And it had! As far as Aang was concerned, today was the most fun he had had in weeks! The pompous noble of some backwater province had come demanding to speak with the Avatar, though he hadn't mentioned Aang specifically. So Aang, having gained control of the Avatar State two years ago, had obliged him and allowed him to meet with the Avatar spirit.

He wasn't sure what scared the man more; was it the sound of a thousand voices speaking as one? Perhaps it was idea that he was speaking directly to a powerful spirit? Of course, the glowing eyes always managed to disturb those who didn't know him well.

Either way, the noble had barely gotten a few words out before turning tail and running as fast as his opulent clothing would allow him to go.

"So Zuko, what's next on our schedule today?"

Zuko waved his had at his assistant, an elderly gentleman by the name of Sang Min who had spent enough time around the two teens to not be bothered by their unique way of handling people.

"Well sir, you have a lunch meeting with one of your generals and then the War Minister has requested that you meet with him to discuss future spending on development projects."

Aang snickered as he watched Zuko let out a sigh of relief. It would appear that he wouldn't be able to amuse himself anymore today, if Zuko had anything to say about it.

"Avatar Aang," Zuko stated formally, "it would appear that I no longer require your services for today. Thank you for your time and you may have access to any of the Palace's resources."

"But Fire Lord Zuko," Aang replied, knowing no one was buying his innocence act, "perhaps I can be of assistance in your meetings?"

"What? No!" Zuko took a deep breath, "I mean, no Avatar Aang, you have done enough already. Please, relax, enjoy your stay at the palace. I'm sure my assistant here can give you some wonderful recommendations of places you could go and visit with Katara?"

Aang knew he had lost as soon as Zuko played the 'Katara' card. After all, as much fun as he was having spending time with Zuko, it was nothing compared to being with Katara.

"Thank you for your generosity, Fire Lord Zuko," Aang bowed to his friend, "I will take you up on your generous offer."

"You are welcome Aang."

Zuko sighed as he watched his friend skip off. As much as Aang could be frustrating, it was nice to have someone who wasn't bound to the rules which everyone else played by. Sadly, one day Aang would have to leave and he wouldn't be able to use him to chase off those annoying politicians.

"Sang Min, didn't you mention that the Cultural Affairs Minister needed to meet with me tomorrow?"

"Yes Fire Lord, he wishes to discuss how you would like to handle your birthday celebration."

"Right. Please make sure to invite Avatar Aang to that meeting."

"My lord?"

"I hate birthday parties, especially my own."

"Understood sir," Sang Min replied with a smirk. Working with Fire Lord Zuko was much more amusing than working with his father.

AN: First of a few drabbles floating around in my head. Please review, comment, whatever. I like to know what people think.
