Thank you to all the people who read and review. I know this story and 'The Unknowns' don't really get as much people as 'FEH' or any other of my stories, but it's great to know some people like it :). I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day, I know I didn't :P, but then again, I didn't have to spend a shit ton of money on candy or flowers. Anyways, read on:

"Isn't this fun?" Katara smiled, "We all get to work together and have fun."

Suki raised her eyebrow, "Have fun? Katara, this place has been completely dead for the past hour and a half. The only thing close to a customer was the hobo in here hitting on me."

Yue spun in one of the bar stools, "I don't know Suki, I've been having fun. I actually feel like I'm a part of the working class now."

"You've been employed here for 3 weeks, wait until you get paid, you'll really feel like a part of the working class." Suki muttered the last part. She laid her head on the table and sighed, "Why do we always get this day to work? No one ever wants to come in here on a Monday."

"We get paid more than the others, so I don't really care," Katara said, "We only have to work another hour or so, so relax Suki. How have you and Zach been doing?"

"Good and I would like it if I got to see him right now," She sighed, "But I see that I'm not that lucky."

Katara sat up on the counter, "You do realize that none of us get to see our boyfriends too right?"

"I don't have a boyfriend," Yue said.

Both the other girls laughed, "Yeah you do Yue. If Zuko isn't your boyfriend, I don't know what a boyfriend is then."

"How is he my boyfriend?"

"You two kiss regularly, he took you out to prank my brother, you're living in his house for free and he's always trying to protect you, stop me when you finally get the point," Katara said.

"Him and I have only made out, like once," She argued.

Katara just smiled, "How about what happened last night?" Yue blushed and Suki's eyes went wide.

Suki jumped up and down, "Tell me! Tell me! Tell me! What did they do?"

Yue was cutting up potatoes with Katara for dinner when she sighed in defeat, "Damn it, I can't do this." Zuko came into the kitchen as she put the knife down, "I seriously can't learn such an easy thing."

He smiled, "Here, let me help you." Zuko went behind her, taking her hands in hers. She felt a blush creep across her face from the contact. He had her grabbed the knife and put the other hand on the potato. "Like this." Zuko lightly pushed down, making her slowly cut a line in the potato and continuing until the half potato was cut horizontally. He moved the cutting board, "And then like this." She cut the potato vertically with his help. "See? You can do it." Zuko grabbed a couple drinks from the fridge and went back into the living room. Yue took a couple calming breaths, trying to get the blush off her face. She looked over to Katara who just gave her a grin.

"Shut up."

"I swear to God if I wasn't there, it would have turned into a porno and he would have done her right there." Katara laughed. Suki 'awed' as Yue glared at her best friend. "What? I dare you to give me a reason why what I am saying isn't true."

"You don't have to tell everyone about it!" Yue huffed. Then a memory popped into Yue's head. "Hey Suki, did you know that Katara doesn't go down on Aang because she's afraid that she will suck at it?" Katara glared back at Yue as Suki's jaw dropped.

"No way! I thought it was because you didn't like the taste of semen," Suki said.

"Thanks Yue…seriously."

She shrugged, "That's what you get." The door to the diner opened and Yue sighed when she saw who it was. "What do you want Sokka?"

"Can't a guy just come in here for some food?"

"Not when two of his ex-girlfriends and his sister work here," Katara answered for Yue, "Now again, what do you want Sokka?"

"I came here to talk to Yue," He told them.

"Okay," Yue leaned her elbows back on the counter, "I'm all ears."

"In private?"

Yue shook her head, "You lost that privilege when you chose Toph over me, forcing me out of my house."

He rubbed the back of his neck as he took a couple deep breaths, "Okay…well, I'm sorry."

"For what?" Suki asked, Yue nudged her slightly, "What?"

"For what Sokka," Yue repeated.

"For choosing Toph over you and you being kicked out of your house." Sokka told her. "If it would make up for what I did, you can still stay at my house if you would like."

Yue shook her head, "I'm pretty comfortable where I am now." She could see the jealousy on Sokka's face, but he just turned around and went for the door.

He was about to leave, but he stopped himself, "What does he have that I don't?"

"It's more like, what he doesn't have," Yue said, "He doesn't have a girlfriend…"

"What if I didn't?"

"Then that would be 3 relationships you fucked up," Suki and Katara gasped, never hearing Yue be that mean.

Sokka felt a hand on his back, he turned around to see Zuko standing there, "I think it would be best for you to get out of here now. The lady isn't happy with you." He felt his hand clench with anger, wanting pay back for the black eye the last time they ran into each other and of course the prank, but he knew that if he even tried to fight, Zuko would drop him faster than he did before. He of course didn't think about the consequences and took a swing. Zuko caught his hand. "Get out of here before I decide to finish this." Sokka quickly realized how stupid he was and ran out of the diner. Zuko went to the counter and sat down on one of the bar stools.

"You know, if you keep starting fights in this diner, we're going to have to rename the place 'Fight Club'," Katara said as she handed Zuko a menu.

"First rule of Fight Club is you don't talk about Fight Club, Princess," Zuko mocked.

Katara hit him on the head, "Stop calling me that."

"Oh sorry Catwoman, I didn't mean to irk you." Yue snickered as Suki looked in surprise to a now fuming Katara.

"I'm going to fucking kill you!" Suki held her back as Katara swung at Zuko, missing his face by inches.

"Are you going to use your whip to kill him?" Yue joined in, making Zuko laugh. Katara looked at Yue in anger as she shrugged again, "I have to be on his side. He's letting me live in his house….and you kept me up last night playing Catwoman."

Katara let her anger dissipate, but still kept her angry face, "What the hell do you want?"

"Can I get a BLT, hold the spit," Zuko told her, handing her the menu.

"No promises," Katara said as she went back into the kitchen.

Suki smiled, "I'll go make sure she doesn't actually spit in your sandwich."

"Thank you Suki," He said as she went back into the kitchen. Zuko looked over to Yue, "How are you doing today?"

"Great, haven't done a lick of work," She sighed, resting her head in her arms that were on the counter. "How has your day been?"

He shrugged, "Nothing big. I have about 3 months to choose whether I reenlist or not."

"Are you going to?"

Zuko shook his head, "I don't think so. I'll probably take a job as a mechanic, since I've been trained for it."

"Do you need me to help contribute then? With my pay check, I can help pay for the rent." Yue offered.

"No, you don't need to help, we'll be fine, I'll still be able to pay for everything. It will only be a slight pay reduction, my C.O knows a mechanic that takes Marine Mechanics." Zuko said, "Hey, can I ask you something?"

Yue yawned, resting her chin on her arms, "Shoot."

"Will you go to the Marine Corps Ball with me?" Zuko asked.

"You want to take me to a Ball?" Yue questioned, lifting her head up in attention. He nodded. "Like as boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Zuko shrugged, "Do you want to go as boyfriend and girlfriend?" She blushed, thinking of her and Zuko as a couple. Though she did love the idea of being together with Zuko, was she truly ready to be in a relationship only after a little under a month?

"I don't think I'm ready for that," Yue finally said.

He smiled, placing his hand over hers, "That's fine, we can just go as friends, it doesn't matter. I just would like a beautiful and smart girl on my arm."

Yue softly smiled, "Okay, when is it?"

"Well let's see here," Zuko pulled out his phone from his pocket, "In about 3 hours."

Her eyes went wide, "Th-Three hours? Zuko, why didn't you tell me earlier? I don't have a dress! I need to do my hair! Get some shoes! And-"

"Yue," He stopped her, "Everything is taken care of. Suki, bring it out." Zuko called. Suki poked her head out of the kitchen and went back in towards the staff locker room. A minute later she came out with a dress hanging on a hanger. Her eyes went wide at the dress. It was a lavender purple strapped dress that crossed in the back and there were sparkles all down her dress.

"That's the most amazing dress I have ever seen, but I don't think that will be able to fit me," Yue said.

Suki smiled, "That's where I came in, I know your sizes, the bust of a porn star, the waist of a model, and the booty of J Lo." Yue ignored the comments as Suki handed her the coat hanger. "And of course, Zuko personally picked these out." She put a pair of high heels on the table. They matched the dress in color and had a small snowflake on the band around her toes. "He thought you would like these."

Yue took them in her hands, "I love these, Zuko you may be a tough man, but you have the taste of a girl."

"I had some help. I'm going to get dressed in my blues then I'll be back here to pick you up here," Zuko told her. The door to the diner opened and a big burly man came in.

"What's going on here? You should be working instead of playing dress up," The man said in an annoyed tone as he came in, scaring Yue a little bit.

Zuko laughed, "Uncle, stop messing with them."

Iroh smiled, "Nephew, I was so close to scaring her."

"Yue, this is my Uncle Iroh, he owns the diner. Uncle, this is Yue, she lives with me." Zuko introduced them. "He likes to mess with the new people, but he's a naturally nice person."

He shook Yue's hand, "It's so nice to meet you Yue. I hope work hasn't been too hard on you and that my nephew has treated you with nothing but kindness."

She chuckled, "No, work here has been fun and Zuko has been a delight to live with."

"Good, now, is Dan in?" Iroh nodded.

"Yeah, he's in his office Uncle Iroh," Suki told him.

"Thank you dear." He smiled as he went to Dan's office.

"You call him Uncle Iroh too?" Yue asked.

"Yeah, he likes it when you call him that, but he's Zuko's actual Uncle. Now come on, lets you get you changed," Suki said as she dragged Yue to the staff locker room. Yue gave Zuko a smile as she was dragged away and he left the diner.

"Okay, BLT…Oh for the love of God!" Katara growled as she came out with the sandwich and saw no one in the diner, "I fall for it every fucking time!"

Aang put on his rubber boots and trudged out of the building towards the barn. It hadn't rained since yesterday, but it was still as muddy as if it just happened seconds ago. He loved his job at the farm, he got to take care of the animals, clean them, feed them and what not, but he hated the mud. Aang finally made it to the barn and opened the doors with a smile. "Appa!" He called as the white bison came out of its stall. Because he was such a good worker at the farm, Katara's Grandpa Pakku, let him name a small white bison they found. Aang named him Appa and took care of him as he grew up. "You are such a spoiled bison aren't ya?" Aang laughed as he pet him. "Come on," He led him to the open pasture where the other animals were, "Go get something to eat and don't wallow in the dirt again, I don't want to have to wash you again." Appa moved slowly into the pasture and Aang shut the gate behind him.

"Grandson," He turned and saw Pakku come out of the main building, "There have been reports of wolves around here, make sure all the gates are locked when you aren't watching."

"You know Katara doesn't like that you call me Grandson," Aang laughed.

"Yes, but you are more of a grandson to me then my actual grandson," He said as he went back inside. Aang laughed at his joke and watched as Appa ate some grass by some sheep. He climbed up on the metal fence and leaned against one of the wooden posts that held the gate. If he could just stay here like this, he would be happy.

"Hey Airhead," Aang yelped and lost his balance. He flailed his arms around as he fell back, but his feet got caught in the metal fence and now hung upside down. It was Toph.

He growled, "Why do you insist on doing that?"

"Because it's funny."

Aang untangled his leg and landed on his side. He pushed himself up and brushed off the dirt, "What do you want Toph? You don't even work here. Hell, you don't even live near here."

"You need to help me."

He laughed, "Yeah, good one Toph."

"No seriously, you're going to help me with Yue," Toph told him.

"This is not my matter Toph, this is yours and Sokka's," Aang said, "If I get involved, then it's just going to make things worse."

The small girl crossed her arms, "You're going to help me or I will beat you up."

"You're going to beat me up?" Aang asked, "We're not in school Toph, you can't just-AH!" She grabbed him in a headlock and squeezed, "Fine! Fine! I'll help you."

"Good, be at Sokka's tonight," She said, letting go of his head and walking back to her car.

Aang rubbed his neck, angry that she could still do that kind of stuff to him. He was going to have to explain to Katara tonight that they couldn't spend the night alone since Zuko was going to his ball with Yue because Toph is making him go to Sokka's. He sighed and fished his phone out of his carhartt pants. Aang already had a text from Katara and opened it.

Katara: Your fucking brother made me fall for it again!

Aang: :( I'm sorry, but hey, Toph is making go to Sokka's house to help her fix her friendship with Yue.

Katara: You're kidding…

Aang: Nope…

Katara: Do you want me to come with you?

Aang: Please? :)

Katara:…*sigh* fine, but it's only because I love you.

Aang: I love you :)

Katara: Love you too.

He smiled as he put away his phone and looked up to see Appa wallowing in the dirt. "Damn it Appa!"

Yue looked at herself in the mirror. The dress fit her perfectly, didn't show too much, didn't show too little. She lifted up the bottom to see her snowflake shoes, she had to admit, she really did look beautiful. Suki stuffed Yue's other clothes in her backpack and zipped it up, "So what do you think?" Suki asked.

"I look beautiful," She smiled.

"Good, now, do you think Zuko and you are going to get it on tonight after the ball or what?" Suki joked.

Her face flushed, "No Suki, I don't think I'm ready for that."

"Think about it this way, he is letting you live in his house for free, treats you like a Princess and has invited you to a ball. Maybe you should give him a little," Suki offered, "But then again, that's just my view on it." Yue bit her lip as she thought about it. Maybe she did owe Zuko a little bit, he obviously cared about her and she cared about him, enough to be his girlfriend and want to be with him. But did she care enough about it to sleep with him?

Suki packed up her stuff and went back into the diner. Yue looked at herself in the mirror. 'Should I give him my virginity…or wait…' She thought. But then another thought beckoned, would he even want her body? 'Of course he does,' She thought again, not trying to be full of herself. They almost went that far a couple weeks back, so why would he change his mind. Yue took a deep breath and took off her panties, putting them in the bag with the rest of her clothes. Tonight, she would pay Zuko back for all he had done for her.

She walked out of the room to see Zuko in his dressed blues. He wore a midnight blue coat with red trim, with a standard neck and a white belt with a gold waist plate. On his head he wore his white peaked cap, sky blue pants and black shoes and socks. To sum it all up, Zuko looked good…scratch that, he looked jaw dropping good. Yue ignored the dirty thoughts beginning to form in her head and walked over to him. Zuko straightened out his coat and looked up at her, smiling. "Oh, Hi Ma'am, I'm looking for my beautiful date to the Marine Ball, have you seen her? She was pretty white hair, blue eyes and the nicest smile you'll ever see."

She decided to play along, "Nope, I haven't. But maybe I can take her place, I seem to fit the description."

Zuko reached out for her hand and she gave it to him. He leaned down and kissed it, making her smile. "You look heavenly Princess Yue."

"So I get a royal name now?" He nodded. "Fine, you're Prince Zuko."

"As long as I have a pretty girl with me, I don't mind." Zuko said.

"You two are going to make me sick," Katara gagged.

"We can play this game again Katara," Zuko smiled, she flipped him off, "Well then, I might have to complain to the manager about this."

The door opened to the diner and Katara looked over to see Jet walk in. "Hey Jet," She said as she wiped down the counter. "What can I get you?"

He eyed Zuko and Yue, "Is there some formal dress code I don't know about?"

She shook her head, "No, they're just going to the Marine Ball."

Jet nodded his head in understanding, "Well we're off," Zuko said, "See ya girls and yes, that does include you too Jet."

"I'm pretty sure this 'girl' didn't just give to your sister about an hour ago," Jet countered.

Zuko laughed, "It's good to see you man." Both he and Yue left the diner and Jet spun around in his seat.

"So…can I get a couple milkshakes and fries to go?" He asked, "Azula and I are having what she calls a 'night in'."

"No problem Jet," She said, "Hey Suki, can you get that ready for Jet?" Suki nodded and went back into the kitchen. "So how are things with Azula and you?"

Jet shrugged, "Okay I guess. Ever since I got out, things have been better."

"How was Prison?"

"Not as bad as you think," He said, "Since it was minimum security, there weren't many people try to butt fuck me, so that's always a plus." Katara chuckled lightly. "I mostly stayed out of the way of others, served my time and now I'm glad to be out."

"I'm glad you paid your debt to society," Katara smiled.

"Katara, I went to Prison for protesting in the Occupy Movements, I don't really owe a debt to society," Jet argued.

Katara cocked an eyebrow, "And what about the part of you punching a police officer, not to mention that that Officer happened to be my Father's partner?"

He grinned, "Okay, yeah, I might have done that. But I'm just happy Azula isn't wearing skimpy outfits every time she came to visit me."

Suki came out with a paper bag with his food, "Here you go convict."

Jet sarcastically laughed, "You're hilarious Kyoshi." She stuck her tongue out at him. Suki went by that nickname in honor of her grandmother. "So what do I owe you Katara?"

"Other than making up for a light night call from my boyfriend telling me his sister's boyfriend was just arrested," She said as she punched in the numbers on the cash register, "$5 even, with discount."

Jet gave her a 5 dollar bill, "Oh Katara, why did I ever stop going after you?" He said sarcastically.

"My Mother told me not to play with small things."

He playfully put a hand over his heart as he left, "Ouch Katara. I'll see you later." Jet waved as he left.

"You two are ridiculous," Suki sighed. "Don't you think Aang will be jealous if he found out you still talk to your old crush?"

"I'm still Aang's 'forever' girl and he's still the only guy allowed to touch this body," Katara told her, "So no, I don't think he will be jealous if I'm talking to Jet."

"But what if Aang and I hung out alone or when you weren't there?" Suki asked.

Katara held up a knife to her throat, "I would cut you."

Suki just smiled and walked away, "Double Standard much."

Yue laid her head on his shoulder as they slow danced. She felt in place in his arms, but of course, she would tell him right now. The song ended and he pulled away from her, making her a little sad. "Do you want to go take a picture?" He asked. Yue smiled and nodded. He took her hand as they went to get in line for the pictures. Zuko sighed as he saw who was ahead of them in line.

"Zuko!" The pink dressed girl shouted as she threw herself at him, hugging him.

"Hey Ty Lee," Zuko said.

She let go of him and saw Yue, "Are you Zuko's date?"

"She is," Zuko answered, "Ty Lee, this is Yue, Yue this is Ty Lee, my sister's friend."

"It's nice to meet you," Ty Lee hugged her.

Yue was caught off guard, "Oh, you're a hugger, okay then." She softly patted the other girl on the back, "It's nice to meet you too."

"You two are so cute together! How did you meet?" She asked.

"Um ac-"

"We met one day at the Diner that his brother's girlfriend works at," Yue interrupted him, "I had just been dumped by my boyfriend and was bawling my eyes out. Then Zuko," She put her other hand on his arm, "saw me and like a gentleman, came over to make sure I was okay. After awhile of talking, we fell in love."

Ty Lee squealed with delight, "I knew Zuko would fall in love with someone! Anyways, this is the love of my life, Haru." She grabbed his arm and twisted him around to face them. "Haru, this is Yue, Zuko's girlfriend."

Haru slyly smiled, "It's nice to meet you Yue, I've heard a lot about you. Zuko talks about you non-stop."

She eyed Zuko, who just rubbed his neck, "Really now? What has he said about me?"

"Oh, it's our turn," Ty Lee said, "See you guys after!" She drug Haru into the room.

Yue smiled as she looked at Zuko, "You really talk about me all the time?"

"You really want to be known as my girlfriend?" Zuko shot back.

"Maybe I do."

Zuko smiled as he held her hand, "How about after the picture, we head home? Watch a movie or something."

"I would love to." After it was there turn, Zuko and Yue headed for his truck, he of course opened the door for her and then went over to his side. They drove back to his apartment in a comfortable silence. Once he parked the truck, Yue kissed him. She crawled up on his lap as he allowed her tongue access to his mouth. She took off his hat and set it down to the side of them. He felt her hands fumble at his buckle and he broke the kiss.

"Are you sure you want this?" He asked, catching his breath.

"I owe you, so I'm repaying you," She said and leaned in to kiss him, but he pushed her back, "What's wrong?"

"Because you owe me?" Zuko repeated, "I don't want you to lose your virginity because you owe me Yue." He grabbed his hand and moved her off of him. She jumped a little as he slammed the door and stormed inside. Yue felt tears burn at her eyes, for the first time it wasn't about Sokka or Hahn or even her father…it was because of Zuko. But she didn't want to lose him like she did the others. Yue got out of the truck, wiping her face from the falling tears and went inside. She saw Katara, Aang, Sokka and Toph sitting in the living room of the apartment. She didn't know what came over her, but all the pain, the suffering, the anger…finally boiled over.

"What are they doing here?" She demanded in a tone that surprised everyone.

Katara got up, "They want to talk to you Yue."

"I want them out Katara, he's a piece of shit that hurt me to sleep with her, one of the shittiest friends there are. So I guess you two are fucking meant for each other!" Yue yelled, tears coming down her face.

"Yue please calm down, what happened tonight?" She asked, trying to calm her friend down.

"It's nothing," She said as she stormed through the worse, following Zuko's path. Yue went into her room, slammed the door and changed out of her dress, leaving her naked. She put on her powder blue bra and panties and sat down on her bed, wiping more tears. Yue knew what she had to do, she got up and left her room to Zuko's. The door was slightly ajar and the light was off. She pushed the door open a little more to see Zuko lying on his stomach in the dark, he was in his grey tank top and shorts. "Prince Zuko?" She asked, hopefully making him smile at the nickname she gave him earlier. Zuko didn't move. Yue slipped into the room and stood beside the bed. "Zuko, please talk to me…" He still didn't move. More tears slipped down her face, "Zuko please….you can be mad at me all you want, but please don't ignore me…it hurts me even more." Zuko's face turned towards her, he offered his hand to her. She took it and he pulled her into bed with him. He moved a little so she could get on the bed with him. Yue pressed her body to his as he pulled up the covers over them. She looked up towards him through her teary eyes and he used his thumb to wipe her tears away. "I'm so sorry Zuko, I shouldn't have done that."

He kissed her softly on his forehead, "It's okay…"

"Zuko?"

"Hmm?"

"How did you do it?"

"Do what Yue?"

"How did you make me fall in love with you?" She asked, "4 weeks ago, I was in love with Sokka, ready to dump my abusive boyfriend…but now, I can't stand to be without you…how did you do it?"

Zuko smiled, "Don't you remember? I have magical powers." She grinned and kissed him, never wanting to let him go.
