Prompt: Date.
Disclaimer: Taylor Swift's lyrics aren't mine. And I just realized that I didn't put a disclaimer on my other fics. IF I owned ATAL, Zuko would have dumped Mai in the finale.Well, you drive me crazy half the time
The other half I'm only trying
To let you know that what I feel is true
And I'm only me when I'm with you
Zuko was driving me CRAZY. He was that guy I had an annoying love-hate relationship with. He was always doing something crazy. This time, he had splattered paint all through my backyard. Neon green, a deep blue, lemon yellow, and a dark red color. The next day, when he got caught red-handed, (pun intended) he said I had helped him. So now we had a date to clean up my backyard. And didn't want to attend.
The sky was now a shade of vanilla twilight; Zuko and I were quietly painting over the rainbow of colors on the fence. "What on earth made you decide to do this? I mean, seriously?" I asked.
"Toph, and a few of my other friends said they'd give me fifty bucks if I did it."
"So you did it for money?"
"That's what I just said, isn't it?"
"That's not the answer I wanted, but whatever," I sighed.
"I can make this up to you, you know. If you let me," Zuko offered.
"What are you offering?" I asked.
"A date."
"Okay, what type of date?"
"Just meet me over the fence tomorrow night, ant ten o' clock," he replied.
"Okay," I said, wary of what was to come.
The rest of the night and the day passed quickly. It was 9:55. I snuck out and jumped the fence.
"Hey," came a voice.
"Hey. What are we doing?"
"You'll see," he told me, and then he took my hand. I felt a sudden warmth as he grabbed my hand, and my reluctance at this date suddenly dissolved. I smiled, thinking that tonight wouldn't be all that bad, after all.
The end! :)
