Chapter 11! I'm so sorry for not uploading anything. But the problem is my stupid internet! My daddy likes to change everything on all the computers in the house now and then, he already got my computer to work really slooooow but this time I couldn't get any connection with the net anymore! So afters months it's finally done! And now I'm saving for my own computer and my daddy will NEVER touch it again!
Anyway enjoy this chapter. I wrote a lot, so more chapters will follow soon!
"Zuko are you done up there?" I looked up to Zuko who was cutting branches of a big tree.
"Yeah I guess, why?" He answered while he was looking up and down the tree to see if he could cut more.
"It's because I can't lift up those bags all by myself. They're too heavy." I pointed out to 3 big bags filled with weed, branches and other stuff I'd collected from uncle Iroh's garden and that was just from the flowerbeds!
Zuko climbed down the tree, but when he stepped on a branch below him it broke of and fell down and of course he yelled a little to late at me while I was busy picking up the branches under the tree.
"AAUW!"
"Katara you ok?" Zuko jumped out of the tree and knelled beside me.
I rubbed my head while Zuko helped me get up. "Stupid branch!" I kicked it a few inches away.
"I wouldn't do that or you might hurt your foot also." Zuko said to me laughing.
I smiled sheepishly. "It's really my lucky day today ugh! Next time I stay in bed."
"I'm sorry Katara. I shouldn't have laughed at you."
"Don't be sorry, I mean it's actually very funny if I look back at this day. I tripped over a dog, fell on a bed, I was late in class, almost got a door on my nose, 2times actually, someone stole my necklace and now this. Did I forget something?" I looked at Zuko and we both started too laugh.
TING TING TING TING. "Zuko, Katara!"
"What's that?" I asked zuko when I heard a bel.
"That's m uncle's sign that dinner is ready. And you know what?" He said with a little strange/playing look on his face.
"What?" I answered taking a little step backwards.
"Well since you are so lucky today." He said sarcastically, "I'll carry you to the door!"
And even before I could struggle he hung me over his shoulder, held me by my legs and carried me to the house which really made feel like a bag!
"Zuko put me down!" I yelled the whole way struggling and laughing without any use or chance Zuko would put me back on my feet.
"PUT ME DOWN!" I laughed and yelled when we got inside the kitchen. Uncle was busy putting everything on the table when he saw us coming in.
"Uncle I brought a snack, I caught it in the jungle you call your backyard. Where ca I leave it?"
"Hey!" I hit him one last time on his back as he placed me down. Uncle was laughing, I'm not quite sure if he got Zuko's message about his garden, but anyway, I was back on my feet. The fact I had actually enjoyed it, I ignored. I was just starving!
"The two of you are really funny to watch. Zuko come with me I need your help."
Uncle had been talking about us during dinner the whole tme! He had seen everything trough his kitchen window and he said he hadn't had this much fun in years!
And just to be honest, I really had a great time too. I had promised myself I wasn't going to think about this day to much, but since uncle never changed the subject I didn't even got a chance to think about anything else! So why not just think further.
I smiled to myself as I saw views of this afternoon in my head.
I got to know Zuko a bit more during work. We laughed, we fought, we even danced together! It was so magic when he….
"Anyone for a dessert?"
I snapped out of my thoughts when I saw Zuko and uncle come in with a huge ice cake.
"Are you expecting some more guests uncle? Cause that's a big cake the two of you are carrying!" I asked when they placed it on the table.
"Nope just the three of us." He was smiling proudly at his cake.
Zuko looked at me with a slight smile when he sat back on his chair. "Uncle's always scared he will not have enough dessert. He thinks it's th…."
"The most important part of the meal!" Uncle Iroh jumped in on Zuko. "But more important," he got back into the kitchen and came back out with two teapots. "the tea that always belongs with the dessert! Anyone for a cup?"
We sat there for what seemed like hours. But it was really fun to be with the two royalties.
"So your brother is just nuts? You know what he might fit well with my sister! She not very normal herself!"
"Zuko please don't be so insulting!" uncle came in the conversation. "Your sister lost al of her brains a long, long time ago!"
I just couldn't stop laughing. They were really so funny. My belly was hurting just because I laughed too much.
"You should invite your brother and your grandma over sometime. I'd love to meet them Katara."
"When they come visiting me at school I'll take them for a visit at your house uncle, I promise."
"Hey Katara speaking of school. Have you noticed the time?" Zuko nodded at the clock above the door. When I looked up I noticed it was already past eleven!
"Oh my! We better get going. We have early classes tomorrow." I looked at Zuko and he got up so I followed his example.
Uncle Iroh led us to the door. "Thank you very much for helping out and giving me a great company. He said when he shook my hand."
"It was really nice to be here uncle. I enjoyed it and thank you for the dinner and the dessert." I looked at the bag he gave me with some of the leftover of the cake. More than half of it was still in his freezer. "See you next time!" I gave him a kiss to thank him and he smiled. Zuko gave him a hand and we went away. Waving back now and then until we were out of sight.
The day had been great and this nightly walk in the moonlight was just like the perfect ending for it.
"ma'am may I lead you to your chambers?" Zuko offered me his arm like a real gentlemen. And ok I was really happy to accept his offer. After all it was still a 'long' walk back to school.
Please tell me what you think. And thanks for being patient with me!
