Avatar: The Last Airbender Chapter 3
Three weeks have passed since her arrival, a living hell for Zuko. Amusement for the crew, including Iroh. At first it was the woman's rebellious spirit against the Fire prince's temper when she would always go against him. Mostly just yelling, arguing, then insulting each other. However, as the saying goes, 'Action speaks louder then words.' That was exactly what they did. And Iroh could remember it clearly.. as if it was yesterday.
Day 9
"What was the meaning of this?" A completely drenched Zuko shouted towards a very calm Iroh, who at the moment, is sipping his tea. He watches his nephew pull off the seaweed, a look of disgust appearing on the young prince's face.
"I don't know Prince Zuko, I am as baffled as you are.." a slight smile appears on his lips behind the cup.
FLASHBACK
"I'm bored.." Alex muttered, flinging an empty bucket over the side of the ship, tied to a coil of long sturdy rope. 'The good kind it looks like' she thought to herself as she watches the bucket, once hitting the surface, slowly sinks into the dark waters. 'Hmm..please get some seaweed..please get some seaweed...'
It was a warm afternoon with the sun out, high in the sky, not a cloud in sight. The kind of weather you would find too enjoy and want to just lay down and relax. But not her.. She couldn't do that.
Iroh watches this curiously as she pulls the bucket back up filled with water and clumps of floating seaweed.
"What are you doing?" He asked while she peered inside the bucket, over the rail, wondering if she has enough seaweed or not.
A wicked smile appears on her lips as she finally gets the bucket over. "What else? Curing my boredom." Hefting the bucket up with both hands she waves goodbye to Iroh. "Bye, bye!"
END OF FLASHBACK
"So clearly baffled.." he repeated, whispering the last part to himself. "I wonder where Alex is..."
"What was that? ALEX!" Zuko storms off. Fire suddenly started to form from the palm of his hands. Going towards Alex's cell that was located beneath them. From there, you could hear Zuko, slamming the door open. So pissed, that the door smashes against the metal wall, making a horrible sound. But the noise, could not possibly block out the shouts that will soon come to be...
'Poor, poor Alex...'
"ALEX!"
"Wha--! ACK! It burns! You bastard! Why did you have to do that!"
The sound of something hitting metal, hard, echoed off the walls. "What did you just throw at me!"
"Something that I hope was going to do more damage to you then that!"
'Seems like... I will have to take them back to the healers again...' Iroh thought grimly over his cup of tea.
Day 12
Taking Alex out this morning to stretch, Iroh started to make light talk while he watches her balance herself on the railing of the ship. Of course, he didn't really wanted her to, worried that she will fall off, but she becomes stubborn and ignores his warning.
"So your family.. Do you have any siblings?"
"I have three older brothers. Michael is 20, Ryan is 19 and Jason is 18. I live with my mom. My parents are divorced-- haven't seen my dad for four years now."
Twisting her body a bit, she started to do a handstand on the railing, slowly inching forward. Making Iroh ever more nervous of what she was doing, and tries to concentrate on what she is saying instead.
"What about your brothers? Your mother?"
Wondering why he wanted to know more she continued. "Umm.. mom's very pretty. A lot of people say so, she has long dark brown curly hair, and hazel eyes. At times she thinks she's so fat, but she isn't, she's like a china doll. Slender and delicate. She was once a dancer actually."
"Ah..and the others?"
"My oldest brother is into martial arts, although Michael owns his own dojo-- he won't exactly teach me.." Turning her body around she starts to walk on her hands the other way. "Doesn't want me to get hurt."
"Ryan?"
"In college, wanting to be a doctor. He's probably the genius of the family. He takes martial arts as well."
"And Jason?"
"The best cook in the world! Well—I think he is, going to be accepted at this one school to be a chef. It's quite prestigious."
"What about you? Do you have any hobbies?"
"Well...mom wanted me to try dancing...but I didn't want too---so for now, gymnastics until Michael will teach me."
Leaning against the railing, Iroh turns to face her. "So you want to learn how to fight and defend yourself."
"Yeah. I practice in private after watching Michael train or teach his students. But I don't really know enough---" she was cut off suddenly by Zuko who somehow sneaked up on them.
"ALEX! What are you doing! Get down from their NOW!"
"Wahhh!" Losing her balance, she falls over the railing. Her hands grasping for anything to hold onto as she fell. A slight latch opened enough to hold onto. Her body dangling slightly. "Iroh! H-E-L-P!"
She could hear somebody start to laugh, as a long coil of rope was thrown over. Just barely out of reach.
"Grab hold!"
Alex could feel the ship slowly, slowing down to a complete stop. But just as she reaches for the rope with one hand, Zuko and Iroh watching—The ship suddenly jerks to a stop, making her miss the rope and plummet head first into the very cold water. "Ahhhh!"
"Alex!" he quickly lowers the rope as she resurfaces.
"Its f-f-ucking cold!" she sputtered while wiping the water out of her eyes, blinking a bit since it was salty.
"Hahahhahahahhahaaa!" she could hear him continue to laugh down at her as she finally caught the rope. Holding onto the rope tightly she finally was able to see clearly, though her eyes did sting slightly for a few seconds.
Being hauled back over the railing with some help. Alex could only glare at the still laughing Prince Zuko. Her hand clenched into a fist.
"Zuko...!" You did that on purpose!" She was suddenly on him, pulling her fist back about to hit him before he was able to throw her off. She was too pissed to care at the moment.
"Arggh! Get off of me, you wet bitch!"
"What!"
Day 14
"Alex, could you please wake Prince Zuko up for me? It appears he's slept in today."
"Fine.." pushing up the door she started to walk down the short flight of stairs. Sighing in content, Iroh takes a sip of his tea.
Until the harsh banging of metal upon metal disrupted the peaceful silence.
BANG BANG BANG BANG!
"WAKE UP ZUKO! RISE AND SHINE!"
BANG BANG BANG BANG!
"ALEX!"
3rd Week
"What! That's not fair!"
"Fair? Who said anything about being fair?"
"Rrr...bastard."
"Would you like for me to add even more chores onto your list?" he lowers himself into a cushioned seat, his hand grasping her shoulder so he could hiss these words close to her ear.
They were inside in a different room, where Zuko and Iroh were just served their afternoon tea. With some maps spread out on the table with little dots marked all over it, looking as if they were tracking the movements of something.
The furnishings of the room were simple yet at the same time elegant. The walls were cloaked and covered in rich colors of crimson and gold with streaks of black cloth. Fluffed pillows made for their seats with a low table made of dark chestnut brown smooth wood, that shone with near perfection against the candles fire.
"Would you like for me to kick your ass if you did?" she had turned her head, whispering her words darkly close to his own ear.
So close was she, that she could smell the scent of sandalwood and the hint of tea with the masculine flavor of him. It was unique in its own way.
"Would you two like too hear, that you look like your about to kiss?" Iroh stated calmly.
"No,no,no---no! Like I would ever! To this ass-hole?" Flabbergasted, she was in complete shock and horror by this, or hearing what Iroh just told them, about what they looked like they were about to do. While at the same time, Zuko adding in what he thought of what Iroh said, out loud.
"This nasty stubborn bitch!" Zuko added angrily, making Alex focus her attention on him, pissed even more.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!" the two shouted at each other.
Iroh watches the two rolling back and forth across the floor, trying to take the other down.
"Hey! Watch those hands mister!" she snarled, trying to push them back forcefully, trying to bend a few fingers back if he didn't move them away fast enough.
"Ow! Its not like their won't be anything there!"
"Why you!" she grasped his pony-tail hard, yanking it.
"Let go of my hair woman!" he grasped her wrist tightening his grip on making her release her hold on it. Well... Tried to...
"What hair? Your almost completely bald! Zuko-snot!" She yanked on his hair one more time, harder then before, making Zuko curse darkly under his breath before he was able to get her to let go of it.
Two guards soon walk into the room, watching the two continue to argue while trying to beat the other up. While Iroh was calmly sipping his tea, not showing any sign of stopping them. He smiles good naturedly to the arriving guards as he lifts his cup. Before Zuko and Alex crashed into the low table side, only to continue fighting from there.
"Uh.. General Iroh I--"
"OWW! What the hell are you trying to do? Break my arm off?" Alex shouted, pushing him off of her, only to dig her elbow into his gut, knocking the air out of him.
"General Iroh it appears that--" The guard on the left was soon cut off by Zuko as he slammed into Alex, trying to pin her arms at her sides, and if he was able to, stop all the hits she was delivering all over him, as much as she was able to give.
"Bitch! Know your place!" He finally was able to hold her arms down tightly in a bruising grip while pulling himself away as she tried to head butt him for a split second. But missed.
"Argghh!"
Outside the room, the crew stood, listening too things break, curses been thrown to one another, the sound of their princes cries of pain, as well as the prisoner's.
"Let me go! Let me go! Let me go! LET ME GO! AHHH!"
They could hear something or someone being slammed against the metal wall. Someone thrashing against who ever was holding the person up.
"Rrrrr—NOW!" her voice rising in anger.
"Ahhhh!"
"Now, Alex, I would wish for Zuko too still give me plenty of grandchildren."
"Don't worry, I won't kick him that hard! But I will not be held responsible if its broken."
"You---Little---" Zuko shoved her hard, throwing her off of him, only to pin himself on her as she hits the back of her head on the hard metal floor.
"Ahhh! Shit head! That fucking hurts!" She shouted as she struggled to break free from his hold, grasping his shoulders with her hands, trying to push him off of her with her body. Only to have him press down harder on her, making her lose her breath.
"Children—children its time too calm down." Just as those left his lips that was when the guards were on them both, pulling them apart with Iroh's help.
"Uncle!"
"Hey! I want to beat him up some more!" Alex tried to pull away from the guards, while at the same time reaching out at the Fire prince, wanting to punch him again.
The door swings open, Alex being dragged out by the two guards while Zuko was being held back by Iroh.
"Send for the healers!" Iroh called out cheerfully while pulling Zuko along with him too the direction Alex was taken in.
The trip itself was tiresome, Zuko and Alex glaring at one another, If Alex got close enough she would hit Zuko in the face before suddenly dragged back away from his grasp, by one of the guards.
Iroh would tighten his hold when Zuko tried to retaliate. But he was able to break through, singes a bit of her clothes.
"Hey! Don't you dare try that again!" Alex glares at Zuko, who was smirking while mouthing 'bitch' at her.
"Please Iroh! Let me just kick his ass! He's BEGGING for it! I can see it in his eye---"
"My..my... such language from a young lady. " a soothing yet strong voice called out. Stopping her from finishing her sentence.
Iroh smiles as he watches Kouji appear with the second healer. Alex was now looking down at her feet, her cheeks flushes in embarrassment. A scowl appeared on Zuko's lips as he sees this.
'It seems my nephew doesn't like Alex to act like this especially when it comes to the healer...' Iroh thought to himself, mulling over the possibilities of what he could do with this tidbit of information he just learned mere seconds ago.
"Kouji, will you please look over Zuko's and Alex's injuries."
"Yes. Of course, right this way." standing back he motions them into his room, where the other healer was already looking through different herbs. "May I ask, Prince Zuko, why you are limping like that?"
It if was possible, Alex's cheeks became beet red.
"No, you may not." The prince snapped as Iroh releases his hold, pushing him into a chair gently.
"I see.." Kouji smiles while sending Alex a wink. She looks away, blushing. Feeling something strange when he did this, her heart pounding against her chest excitedly.
"Scrapes, cuts, bruises..no broken bones...hmm.. yes only minor injuries." Kouji murmured while over looking Zuko then turns to Alex. Seeing the same for her. "Did you two fight?"
Iroh chuckled as the two glared at eachother, cursing at one another in mere hisses as the two healers tended to their injuries.
"So what was the fight about? It I may be bold to ask. "Kouji murmured calmly while opening one of the jars the other healer put out to use.
"..." she couldn't look him in the eyes as he asked, too embarrassed to answer.
" She wouldn't listen to Prince Zuko basically." Iroh replied.
"Hmm.. I see..." Taking a clean damp cloth, he gently cleans up her injuries before dabbing a bit of the ointment on them.
"Yes it was quite funny. She was very stubborn towards Prince Zuko when he demanded for her to do chores." Iroh continued, chuckling lightly.
"Chores? That doesn't sound so bad---" Kouji was suddenly cut off by Alex, who surprisingly argued with im, on his opinion.
"Chores? For what that bastard gave me—you would wish they were just—chores." she jumps to her feet pointing at Zuko as his scowl deepens when he hears her refer to him as bastard. Alex continues.
"You will clean this ship. That means—scrubbing the floors, clean the windows, help in the coal room, clean the rooms, make the beds, laundry, help the cook, serve the tea and food, clean and wipe the tables, clean the dishes and kitchen for the day!"
"Prince Zuko expects you to be able to finish all that in one day?"
"Yes! And if I don't—I won't get to eat anything or sleep until its finished! He's a fucking rat-bastard!"
"Don't talk as if I'm not even here wench!"
"I'll stop, after you pull that long stick out of your ass!"
"Do you want to get burned again?" Zuko stands up as well, facing her. His hands balled into fists at his sides.
"You want me to kick you in the balls again? Make sure to break your dick this time!"
"Oh—so that was why Zuko was limping.." Kouji whispered to Iroh, who nodded in confirmation.
"Yes, I had to ask her not too—err—break it, but I think she'll forget soon..."
The two turned back to watch the fight continue. Only to be shocked by the sight. Zuko was straddling her waist, pinning her to the ground with her hands behind her back trapped.
Smirking down at her, his hands starting to tighten their grip on her shoulder making her wince. Twisting, bucking her body. Her long slender legs came up from behind him, delivering a crescent kick. Getting him from the back of his head, the momentum, pushed him off of her. Turning around out of his hold, Alex puts him in a headlock, pinning him now to the floor.
Fire started to form upon the palms of his hands as he snarls towards her, she loosens her hold stepping back quickly before that hand connected to her.
"Cheater! Using fire to win your fight!" she ducks down from another fire blast.
"You should have thought twice before getting into a fight with a fire-bender!"
He pushes the chair between them back harshly. The sound of water filled Alex's ears. Looking over her shoulder, she sees a bucket of cool water.
Lunging forward, she grabs the bucket by the handle, and empties out the water onto Zuko, whose fire slowly died away. "Why don't you cool down!"
Saying this, she delivers a low kick at the back of his knee's while he was wiping the water out of his eyes. Falling forward, he brings his arms up to stop the fall.
"Why you---!" His left foot lashes out, making Alex fall forward ontop of him, just as he moves to his back.
"Ooff!" The air was knocked out of her as she falls ontop of Zuko.
'At least he's not wearing his armor, or else I'll be in more pain then what I'm feeling right now.'
Gasping for breath, she looks down at Zuko with a dark glare, only to suddenly notice something she hadn't before and couldn't believe she didn't all at once. A dark blush covered his cheeks as he looks up at her, trying to catch his breath as his hands---his hands were on her chest!
"Why you--" she smacks him across the cheek while pushing his hands away from her chest. "PERVERT!"
"Now Prince Zuko, you shouldn't treat a lady like Miss Alex liker that." Kouji calmly stated with a forced smile, and that it didn't reach his eyes, a flash of anger in them Alex noticed.
"Yes, you should do that more privately Prince Zuko. In your room for example." Iroh laughs after saying this, while the prince's blush spread from his cheeks down to his neck.
"UNCLE!"
"I would like to see many children!" He continued while ignoring the horrified looks Alex and Zuko sent him.
Suddenly, realization dawned upon Alex as she looks down at the beat red Zuko since she was still ontop of him.
"You! Is this the reason why I'm a prisoner? To be your SEX SLAVE ! Give you children!"
"WHAT! N-NO!"
"See! You hesitated to answer me!"
"My, my Prince Zuko! I had no Idea! I was wondering why you we're been so kind to Miss Alex!" Exclaimed Iroh, clapping his hands together once happily. "May I name the firstborn? I'm good with that!"
"NO!" shouted Alex.
"Awe fine, I'll let you name it then Prince Zuko."
"NO UNCLE!"
"Um..let Alex?"
"I'm not going to let him!"
"I would never with her!" The two shouted at the same time before glaring at eachother heatedly.
"Now, now—their is some tension in the air that I'm sure will disappear."
Iroh laughs while Kouji shakes his head, his hand covering his face as the general pats him lightly on the back.
"I can't believe you would even think—HEY! Watch where you place those hands asshole!"
"I'm trying to get you off!" Zuko snarled.
"Ewww! Not with you!" She pushes his hands back.
"What are you talking about!" He places his hands on her hips, as if to life her off of him, but thinking that he was going to force her to do something she holds fast.
It was a battle of will between them. Zuko struggling to get back up as Alex held him down, making sure his hands weren't coming anywhere near her body.
Breaking her hold finally, he lurches forward trying to pin HER to the ground, The two kicked, punched and her case scratched eachother while rolling all over the floor. Pulling the other's hair trying to get them to become submissive—though they won't, only making them angrier.
While this was happening, Iroh and Kouji—tired of standing—were sitting down, drinking warm olong tea. Lifting their cups off the low table whenever Zuko and Alex collide into it.
Looking over the rim of his cup, Iroh noticed that Jouji wasn't making any moves to stop them from beating eachother. "I'm surprised you haven't said anything Koji."
Shrugging a bit, kouji takes another sip of his tea. "I will be trying out some new ointments I made on they're—BATTLE WOUNDS-- once they finished. Its something I want to try and see how effective it is, once applied of course.."
"Of course." Taking another sip, the retired General watches as Zuko puts Alex in a headlock, with her legs kicking against the ground as she tries to break his iron hold on her.
"It seems Prince Zuko is going to win this fight." Kouji commented calmly.
"Are you sure?"
"Ahhhh!"
Grinding the heel of her boot onto his foot hard, Zuko releases in pain, pushing back away from her as that same foot lashes out in a side kick, trying to knock the wind out of him if he hadn't stepped away.
Catching her foot, he pulls her forward, trying to pull her off balance. Falling to the ground hard on her knee's she quickly swipes her foot behind him, having him lose his balance and fall to the ground on his side.
"Here we go again." Murmured Iroh as the two once again rolled to and from on the floor knocking into things in there wake.
Kouji stood far enough, away from the fight, humming a light tune as he looks through the cabinet. Through the many ointments. "No broken bones yet?"
"No..doesn't look like--"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Iroh winces as he continues. "Though it looks like you might have a burn or two with Alex..."
"It seems so..."
Hitting his closed fan lightly against the palm of his hand, he moves to put it away as he stands. Walking towards the still fighting Zuko and Alex.
"Enough you two." He grabs them by the scruff of their shirt pulling them apart easily. "You've both worn eachother out completely. Its time for our dear healer to help you."
While he says this he continues to drag them across the floor to kouji who was already ready for them to put the ointment on he was talking about earlier.
"Now." the young healer started, eyeing the two. "Whose first?"
For the rest of the day, Kouji worked on them ,putting on the salve for the slights burns, ointment for the cuts and bruises that he finished cleaning up again.
During that, Iroh say between Zuko and Alex, making sure they wouldn't continue their fight. With a silly grin on his face, Iroh started a light conversation with Zuko, Knowing that the fire prince should be the first too cool down.
Once finished with his work after bandaging and wrap both of Alex's hands since they were slightly touched with burns, he ushered them out of his room, telling them both that they need time to heal.
Scowling even more, the Fire prince walks off while Iroh lead Alex to her room.
"I'll wake you up tomorrow morning to teach you Pai-jon after we have breakfast of course."
"Okay, good-night Iroh. " she watches as he closes the door, putting the new bolt in place to lock it. Pulling the covers back from the futon, she lays down after changing out of her clothes. Donning on a pair of hand made shorts, where she cut the pant legs off when one side got torn during one of the they're fights and a large red shirt that ended to below her thighs, covering the short shorts from view. Making it look like that all she was wearing was the shirt.
Stretching her sore muscles, yawning softly, she pulls the covers over her tired body, then slowly slipped into a deep sleep.
Sometime later, when its barely light out...
"Alex.." She heard someone call out too her. Grumbling under her breath she turns to her side.
"WAKE UP!" The covers were ripped off of her as her eyes snapped open in shock. A scream leaving her lips as cold water was thrown onto her.
"Ahhh!" Jumping to her feet, shivering, she glares at the man who did it, that was at the moment laughing. "ZUKO!"
"Serves you right. Get ready, your starting today." he moves to walk away from the drenched yet very pissed Alex. "Hurry up wench—Arrrggghhhh!"
Alex tackles Zuko as the boat tipped forward. Off balance with her holding onto him ltrying to make him fall, Zuko fell forward. Crying out in surprise, just as the air was knocked out of her,. With his body ontop of her. Her hands wrapped and pressed against his back, trying to support herself. His face pressed against her neck, his warm breath against her bare damp skin.
"Zuko-Get-"
"Alex I've come to get---ZUKO? ALEX?" Iroh stood at the open door shocked beyond disbelief. "I'm sorry to interrupt..you two..."
"No! No! Noooo! Its nothing like that! Zuko get OFF!"
She froze as she felt his soft lips against her neck. " I would if you let go..." She could feel those damn lips turn into an oh so familiar cocky smile. "But this wouldn't have happened if you hadn't tackled me."
"Why you--!"
Finally pushing him off, she lays their trying to catch her breath. 'Asshole! If you hadn't throw cold water on me—and, and—do all those other things! I wouldn't have !'
"Get up, get out of those disgusting clothes and start working on this ship." He says this while leaving her room. Nodding towards Iroh.
Seeing that he was finally gone, Alex tried to hold back a scream. While stomping off to the back, putting on a fresh pair of clothes, with Iroh giving her privacy with his back turned to her.
"You know...you should eat some breakfast before you start to work."
"Yeah? I should...can you show me how to play that game while we're eating?"
"Of course, are you finished changing?"
Pulling on the crimson shirt, she lightly taps him on the shoulder. "I'm done. Lets go."
"Alright then, once I teach you, we'll try and get through one round of it before Zuko realizes your not working."
"Great!"
Breakfast went by rather quick, giving the retired- general enough time to show Alex how to play as well as the rules. They soon started up the game.
An hour or so went by as the game started. Some of the crew came by to watch. Only then did Alex notice Iroh perform a move with the tile that through her off and turned the tables on her.
"I'm losing! How did you do that? I don't remember you telling me that you can move a tile like that!"
Iroh chuckled behind his closed fan. This woman was very entertaining and amusing indeed. She made things more lively since her arrival-- especially when it comes to Zuko. With his temper that is.
Watching her move one of her tile's forward warily, he watches curiously at her interesting move. Pushing his lotus tile to the side, Iroh could only watch as Alex tried to find an opening.
"So may I ask what happened this morning?"
The slight clatter of tiles was his only warning, before he catches the fallen tiles that were knocked over by Alex's sudden jolt.
"Nothing! N-nothing! Zuko-ass...he...uh.."
"What are you doing?"
'Speak of the devil and he shall appear in the most mysterious of ways..' Alex to herself as the fire prince gave her that on so familiar scowl.
"I don't recall giving you a BREAK!"
"Uhhh..." 'Don't kill him, don't kill him, don't ---"
"WASH the DECKS Alex—NOW!"
"RRRRRR!----MAKE ME YOU FAG! AND WHILE YOUR AT IT! WHY DON'T YOU FINALLY PULL THAT STICK OUT OF YOUR ASS! GOD ONLY KNOWS HOW LONG ITS BEEN UP THEIR!"
Later... Hours Later...
The slight sting of pain slowly trailing up her arm as she dunks the torn rag into the bucket-filled with soddy water. Pulling up her other hand near the first, she could see that the once clean while wrappings become gray, stained with blood- her blood.
Day old injuries reopening, bleeding through from the harsh scrubbing. Trying to tighten the loosen bandages, Alex continued to work. Courtesy of that damn Zuko.
FLASHBACK
"You will be given tasks to do on this ship.."
"..." Talking to Iroh earlier, made Alex able to give Zuko look. She continues to listen, while silently chanting in her head. 'Calm...Calm...'
You will clean this ship. That means---scrubbing the floors, clean the windows, help in the coal room, clean the rooms, laundry, help the cook, serve the food and tea, clean and wipe the tables, clean the dishes and kitchen for the day,"
"What? You gotta be fucking kidding! I can't do all that in one day!"
"I'm I'm just joking-- I want you to lay around and do nothing." Eyeing her, he steps forward, until they were an inch apart. "No I'm not kidding, and if you continue to rant wench. I'll add evenmore things for you to do."
"Why you..."
"Starting tomorrow morning woman. SHARP. And I better see my face..slave.." he added. Wondering what she would do next when he said that. BUT, he didn't have to wait for long.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!"
END OF FLASHBACK.
Another hour has passes and still working she started a little tune... That has been stuck in her head this whole time and seems to wish to make an appearance to the world.
"We are the pirates! We don't do anything.. We just stay at home, and lie around! And if you ask us..to do anything! We'll just tell you, we don't do anything!" She stated happily in a sing-song voice of the one song that kept her mind off of things while doing the complete opposite of the song---cleaning up this ship! "But I've never been to Greenland and I've never been to Denver and I've never buried treasure in ST Louie or ST Paul and I've-----------------
She was cut off by none other then..
"What is that horrible sound?" Zuko appeared followed by a chuckling Iroh who started to hum too that lively sound that he was hearing. "And what did you do to your clothes? Baring so much skin!"
She looks down at what she was wearing. The shirt she wore was to big, so she rolled up the sleeves, above her shoulders. The shirt ending past her hips so she, bunched the cloth up in the back to make a slight knot, baring her back and stomach slightly by a hand's length. The loose pants they gave her, made it hard to move around. Not wanting to get them dirty or we-- she rolls up the pant legs above her knee's.
So there she was, crouching to the ground, with a worn rag in hand scrubbing the floor, her back to them.
"This is not indecent." She answered calmly, silently count to ten in her mind. "This is like capri's and a tanktop! Indecent is like wearing something that is the size of this rag for shorts and something smaller then that for a shirt!"
Rolling her eyes as Zuko suddenly went off, she smiles towards Iroh, who nodded slightly with a smile in return.
"And also---are you even listening to me!"
All I heard was blah---blah----blah." She started while scrubbing harder on a certain spot of dirt. "But please continue while the buzzing in my head starts oncemore, reminding me who is talking to me with a stick up his anus."
Showing control that Alex was surprised as well as Iroh that Zuko held he starts where he left off. "Exposing to much skin. Unfit for any woman especially for someone like YOU. Its indecent."
"Your lips, my ass, they should meet Zuko. These are normal clothes from where I come from--" She was cut off from continuing by him.
"And whats that? A whore house?"
SNAP "Now you've did it!"
"Don't you dare!"
SPLASH
"I just did! And I'll do it again!"
"And you think I'm going to let you!"

Well that's all for now, I'm going to be working on the next chapter while looking for someone to be my beta. So If you want to be one, email me! Let me know! Bye for now!
