Well our beloved Zuzu isn't in "The Fortuneteller", so this is completely random and will probably be short. Let's see how this turns out, hm?

"Mornin' Zuko," Eri said, walking past the frustrated prince with a yawn. He threw her a look and she quirked an eyebrow. "Well someone isn't a morning person."

"It isn't the time of day," Zuko snapped. Eri crossed her arms.

"Oh right, that whole fire bender thing where you rise with the sun and stuff," Eri said. She leaned against the far wall. "So... What has you so grumpy this morning? Or should I say more grumpy?"

"Go. Away," Zuko said bluntly. Eri's eyebrows rose and she looked to where he was waiting... Outside her door.

"Wait, what'd you want to talk to me about?" Eri asked. Zuko frowned.

"Who said I wanted to talk to you?" Zuko said defensively.

"Body language. Now what is it?" Eri asked. Zuko sighed.

"How's you shoulder?" He asked. Eri's eyes widened slightly.

"Oh, uh, it's fine. Just a bit sore," She admitted. Zuko nodded and walked away. Eri was left standing alone in the hall in surprise.

Eri stood on deck, going through her waterbending stances. Her shoulder protested slightly but she ignored it and kept twirling the water around her. She began weaving around deck, smiling to herself as she created intricate designs in the air. Iroh and Daisuke, who had been sitting nearby, noted her 'dancing' and they started to clap out a beat. Letting out a laugh, Eri whipped the water around faster, her pace increasing as more crew members began clapping. And then of course, she bumped into Zuko.

"Hey!" She yelped as she lost control of the water and it fell on her head. Out of habit, she moved her hair from her eye, even though it was the one that couldn't see.

"You shouldn't be straining your shoulder," Zuko said with a disapproving frown.

"You shouldn't be creeping up on me and soaking me," Eri replied, bending the water off her and off the deck, and back into the ocean. Zuko raised his eyebrow and Eri turned, walking away. "Fine."

Eri stood with her whip, watching Daisuke set up a stack of 10 cans on a table.

"So explain this again?" Eri said. Daisuke stood.

"The point is to knock over the cans using your whip," Daisuke said. Eri pursed her lips.

"Simple enough," She said. Daisuke moved away from the cans and Eri sucked in a breath. She whipped around the whip and cracked it down. The cans scattered and she grinned in accomplishment, rolling her shoulder. Zuko walked onto the deck, saw the two of them, the cans, the whip, and put it all together. Zuko walked over to Eri and snatched away her whip.

"Didn't I say not to strain your shoulder?" Zuko said. Eri pursed her lips.

"I'm fine, Zuko. It's completely healed, just ask Daisuke," She said, gesturing to where the doctor had been standing. But he had run below deck so he wouldn't be yelled at. Eri frowned at where he had been standing and looked back to the seething Zuko.

"You're going to hurt yourself, Eri!" He exclaimed. Something snapped and Eri grew extremely pissed. She jabbed Zuko in the chest with her finger.

"Listen, bud, I'm not a little girly princess, alright?! I'm a woman. I can handle myself, I can handle my shoulder, and I can also handle you, so trust me when I say back off!" Eri snapped. Zuko was so taken aback he actually stepped backwards and away from the snarling girl.

"Sorry for caring," He replied, before turning and walking away. Eri sighed and sat, holding her head in her hands.

"Wait!" She called. Zuko stopped. "I'm sorry. Thanks for worrying. But really, I'm okay."

"Whatever," Zuko grumbled, storming below deck. Eri frowned at his back and looked away.

"What is wrong with him?" She muttered. She then smirked and leaned on the ships rail. "Five bucks says it's his man period."

I'M SO SO SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING IN FOREVER BUT I JUST DISCOVERED FIREALPACA AND DEVIANTART IS SO ADDICTIVE, AND AAAAAAGH.

So sorry for the really crappy short chapter, and yes, our precious Zuzu is ENTIRELY OOC, but I'm functioning on, like, 2 hours of sleep and there's homework, and Deviantart, and soooorry!
