I DO NOT OWN THE GREATNESS THAT IS AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER
Sitting peacefully at the edge of the lake in his mother's private garden, fiancé by his side, bread in hands, turtleducks quacking, it was the perfect afternoon!
But that obviously didn't last long because out of nowhere Katara has a frown on her face; why?
"What's wrong?" The Fire Lord asked with concern, "Are you getting cold? Wait no we're in the Fire Nation. Um, are you hot? Well, obviously we're in the Fire Nation - oh, but you're obviously also hot looks wise. Oh no, are you hurt?"
Putting a finger on his blabbering mouth, Katara let out an airy chuckle, "No it's not that, I'm completely fine. It's just that I was thinking: do we have any nicknames or like pet names for each other?"
Finger on chin, Zuko contemplated the question and come to a conclusion, "I call you Kat now and then but besides that, not in particular no..."
"Well that's just not gonna do is it", Katara stated starting to get up. Brushing excess dirt on her attire then hands, "Get up then, if we don't have ones, we're gonna get ones."
The both of them now up and ready to move, Katara linked arms with her firebender lover and sent them venturing off into the depths of the palace.
Now, Zuko found Katara's pet name whilst snacking in the kitchen; the Fire Lord got his fiancé to try his favourites, Fire Flakes, and it didn't go very well. Sweating, panting, glazed eyes, Katara looked like a Polarbear dog who had been out in the Fire Nation sun too long.
"My Fire Flakes", Zuko said rubbing her head before handing her a glass of milk which she gulped down within a few seconds. (Zuko vowed this nickname every time the snack was around, just to taunt her and her low tolerance for spicy food.)
After this, they took many more trips around and through the palace for Zuko's nickname, but when they finally landed right back where they started, the couple had given up all hope.
"I'm sorry Fire Flakes, but this "search" has started to become a whole lot more like a wild goose chase", Zuko grabbed her hands, "Let's just go back to feeding the turtleducks.."
That's when it hit her - eyes widening and corners of mouth turning upwards, Katara yelled in a state of shock, "That's it!"
Rushing towards the pond, Zuko not too far behind, Katara pointed dramatically at the turtleducks, "Your pet name, that's it!"
Frowning in confusing, "And why's that?"
"Because, 1) you've told me so many stories about how you and your mom spent days and days here feeding the turtleducks just like we were this morning and 2) they're pretty much your spirit animal", Katara explained, holding back a giggle at her last comment.
"Okay, I guess it's official then?", Zuko said putting his muscly arm around Katara's slender shoulders, "Turtleducks and Fire Flakes!"
I hope you guys likes my depiction on the turtleducks prompt - it was so much fun, but I also wish I could've had more time to perfect it and make it longer. Buuut, it's 00:22 and I ain't got time for dat haha, huuuu...
Anyway...
Until next time
