1Chapter 2: Round One

The audience cheered as Iroh walked onstage. Smiling, he waved his hands for silence. "Hello, and welcome to Win A Date With Fire Lord Zuko!" The audience (which comprised of mostly girls) cheered loudly. "Now...he likes volcanoe-side picnics, walks on the beach, and Flaming Fire Flakes. Here's Fire Lord Zuko!" The audience screamed excitedly as Zuko waved as he headed to his seat. Iroh continued. "Now, our bachelorettes! She likes sewing, shopping, and gazing at the clouds! Here's Katara of the Water Tribe!"

"WHAT?!" Both Aang and Sokka shreiked from the audience. Aang's arrows and eyes started to glow. Iroh acted quick and shot a shurshu dart at Aang's neck, knocking him unconscious.

"...Next is a Ba Sing Se native who likes tea and fountains! Here's Jin!" Iroh gestured to Jin, who smiled, waved, and sat down. "Last, but not least, she is the Fire Nation's Govenor's daughter who likes fruit tarts, shuriken darts, and being bored-"

"Hey!" Mai called out, glaring at Iroh.

"Here's Mai!" Iroh gestured to Mai, who sighed and sat down. Iroh continued and pulled out a stack of cards. "Now...on each card is a question. Whoever answers these questions right, gets a point!"

Zuko glared at his uncle and took the stack. He sighed. "Bachelorettes...when is my birthday?"

Katara shrugged. "Day before the comet."

"Um...a few weeks after the Spring Equinox?" Jin guessed.

Mai sighed. "The day after the Summer Solstice."

"Bachelorette number three got it!" Zxuko announced. The audience cheered. Mai smiled. Zuko continued. "Bachelorettes...how old was I when I was banished?" Zuko gave Iroh the "You're dead" motion.

"Um...fourteen?" Katara lied.

"He was banished?" Jin asked, confused.

Mai sighed again. "He was thirteen."

"Bachelorette number three!" Zuko sighed with relief. Mai is on a roll! He continued. "Bachelorettes...what are my parent's names?"

"Um...Gansu and...Maeko?"

"What the hell, Katara?" Zuko asked. "You know what my parents names are, and it's not those!"

"Well, I can't keep up with every little detail about all opf my friends now, could I?" Katara shrugged.

"Still...he's pretty famous..."

"I know his father's name is Ozaqi, but I don't know his mother's name." Jin answered.

"Ozai and Ursa." Mai answered.

"Bachelorette number three!"

Mai pumped her fist. "Yeah! Whoo-hoo!" Everyone stared at her. "What?"

Zuko continued. "Anyway...bachelorettes...what did I promise my uncle that I wqould do when I became Fire Lord?"

Katara shrugged. "Not bani9sh your wife and son?" She chuckled.

"Restore peace?" Jin asked.

"Restore the honor of the Fire Nation." Mai answered sighing at her competers' incompetence.

"Bachelorette number three got it!" Zuko announced.

"Qwow, Mai is on a roll!" Iroh commented. He sweated a little. 'Damn it, my plan's not going too well...'

"Bchelorettes...what is my favorite food?" Zuko asked.

"Um...fish?" Katra guessed.

"Rice?" Jin asked

"Spicy komodo chicken." Mai answered.

Zuko winced. "Actually, none of you are right. Flaming Fire Flakes."

"Awww. Well, those were good guesses, anyway." Iroh said. "Continue."

"Bachelorettes...who am I related to on my mother's side?" Zuko asked.

"Avatar Roku?" Katarqa guessed. Shge really couldn't think of anyone.

"Um...I really don't know." Jin answered.

Mai shrugged. "Some...Fire Nation general. I don't know..."

Zuko hesitated. Then he sighed. "Bachelorette number one is right. I am related to Avatar Roku."

The girls just gaped at Zuko in shock. Mai looked slightly hurt that he didn't tell her. Zuko swallowed.

"Ok...anyway...bachelorette number one...why was I banished?" Zuko asked.

"Because your dad's an evil bastard who'd kill his own wife and kids for power." Katara said simply.

"But for what reason specifically?" Iroh clarified.

Katara gave in. "You spoke out of turn and you refused to fight your ather in an Agni Kai."

"Correct!" Iroh announced.

Zuko sighed. "Bachelorette number two, what was the name of the tea shop I worked at in Ba Sing Se. The second one?"

"The Jasmine Dragon." Jin answered.

'Damn. How'd she know that?' Zuko wondered. "Correct."

"All right! Looks like the first two bachelorettes are catching up!" Iroh beamed.

Zuko continued. "Bachelorette number three...who blew up my ship?"

"Pirates under the orders of Admiral Zhao." Mai answered.

"Correct!" Zuko replied. He stood up.

"Wait, that wasn't the question!" Iroh exclaimed.

Zuko shrugged. "Oh well. INTERMISSION!" He ran offstage.

Iroh sniffed,. "Some people have no appreciation..."

Just then, Ang woke up. "KATARA! I THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME!" He ran out of the shop sobbing hysterically.

"Wait. AANG! I CAN EXPLAIN!" Katara chased after Aang.

Mai and Jin just looked at each other. "So, when did you meet Zuko?" Jin asked.

Mai just sighed and folded her arms. At least ten ways to sever Iroh's head from his body came through Mai's head...
