*Jacks POV*

Jack couldn't believe what had just happened in the alley. He had been following the girl around because he had seen the girl walking around in the market and was immediatly drawn to her. He had decided to follow her around abit and see what she would do. He decided that he would confront her in the alley, which turned out to be a bad idea. The girl was startled by him and ended up attacking him. The memory made jack remember the extreme pain in his side, he had to get to work fast or he would be late again. Jack worked at The Jamine Dragon were he worked with two other people. His boss, Iroh was an understanding man but he still didn't want to be rude. He rushed into the teashop were he almost ran into zuko.

"something wrong" asked zuko. Jack just stood their trying to catch his breath

"didn't want to be late" said jack still trying to catch his breath

"well put on the apron uncle needs help in the kitchen" said zuko as he served tea to a table. Jack put on his apron and walked into the kitchen.

"ah jack your timing is perfect" said iroh "i need you to help make some tea and then after that you can help me and zuko serve" said iroh as he exited the kitchen. Jack sighed and got to work making the tea. It felt like an eternity before he finished but he did so he put away the tea making pots and walked out into the resturant with the tea. What jack saw as he exited the kitchen almost made him drop the tea, the girl from the alley was their leaning back in the chair sipping on tea. However she looked diferent this time she had makeup and her nails were painted.

"hey you there" she said pointing at jack. jacks skin turned pale, he was sure that she would recognize him.

"uh, w-what can i do for you" said jack nervously.

"i need a refill of white jay tea please" she said

"ah you have very good taste i love white jay tea" said jack trying to make normal talk while he refilled her tea

"yeah i loved it as a kid and i still love it now" she said. Jack couldn't believe his luck she didn't recognize him. Jack talked to her for a bit while he worked and was having a good time.

"well i guess i should be going" she said

"hey i never got your name" said jack

"toph" said the girl smiling

"i'm jack, maybe we could meet again sometime" said jack

"i would love that how bout we meet here tomorrow" said toph as she exited

" okay i'll be here" said jack

" so what was that about" said zuko smiling "looks likes someones in love"

"oh shutup" said jack, but deep down inside he knew that it was true this was the one.
