A/N: okay, this chapter is going to be REALLY OOC, sorry,
Chapter 7
A man in a cloak was walking along his garden picking flowers and herbs that grew there. He always hid his face for fear of being recognized after he had escaped the capture of the fire nation.
But there were a few people who knew who he was and were sure he wasn't just a gentle war refugee, one of them, in fact, was Prince Zuko.
As the cloaked man approached a bunch of White jade flowers, he was quickly interrupted.
"Master Jeong Jeong." Zuko called, causing the old man to jump, spilling his basket of flowers.
"Sorry," Zuko said and knelt to help the once great fire bender pick up his plants. "But I need your help."
"Why, have you not recovered from your love of Jin?"
"Jin has disappeared completely from my mind." Said Zuko, "I have a new love, the lady Katara."
"What!" Jeong Jeong cried. "How could you love one of the water tribe?"
"We met at a party," said Zuko, "and I guess love just happened. Either way, I intend to marry her, and you, being a noble man of high rank and standard, would have to power to wed us."
"I think you're rushing this," said Jeong Jeong, "you were still smitten with Jin yesterday and now she's just gone?"
"I am sure of this now." Said Zuko, "I love her and will always love her until the day I die and she feels the same."
"Are you absolutely positive that this love will last?" Jeong Jeong was giving him a deep stare.
"Yes, will you marry us?"
"Very well," Jeong Jeong still sounded uncertain, "when do you intend to wed her?"
"As soon as possible, today hopefully."
"That's quite soon, but still doable. I will send word by the lady Toph and let Katara know she needs to practice her bending. Be here this afternoon."
"Oh thank you master Jeong Jeong." Zuko threw himself around Jeong Jeong's neck, but recoiled almost instantly as though he was not conscious of what he was doing.
"I'll see you this afternoon." Zuko yelled, running out of the garden.
"Walk slowly," Jeong Jeong called, "those stumble that run fast."
A/N: rating will go back up in a few chapters due to extreme violence coming up.
