A/N: So sorry! I didn't forget about this I've just been so busy! I turned a year older last time I updated =). And anyway for this chapter this was going to be the Blue Spirit chapter but every time I would write down the script for it, it would disappear somehow! Sorry guys! Short chapter. Did any of you guys see Korra? Mako 3
I looked at my broken wrist. I let out a sigh. How am I suppose to waterbend? I started to pick at the bandage until there was a knock at the door.
"Who is it?" I yelled.
The voice responded, "It's the doctor and Zuko."
Zuko… Insensately the butterflies were in my stomach. Okay, so maybe I do like Zuko… Wait….Did I really just say that? Wait, am I really fighting with myself? Dear god, I'm going officially nuts. After managing to stop the conversation with myself I finally said "Oh, come in."
The doctor appeared first and followed by him was Zuko. Insensately my eyes locked with Zuko's. I could feel like my face was starting to get red as fire but it was hard to look away. Finally Zuko looked away and left out a cough.
"So…" I started out. "What your you two doing here?" I asked.
The doctor was the first to speak, "We are seeing if your arm is healed enough to cut the cast off."
I knew the instant he said that a smile appeared on my face. "Really?" I asked.
The doctor just smiled and nodded his head. I looked at Zuko and even though he didn't like to smile, let alone be happy, there was a small and barely noticeable smile on his face as well. Then I felt a sharp movement on my wrist.
"Sorry." Huffed the doctor. "Now I need you to tell me when I twist your wrist if you feel pain, okay? Even if it is the slightest ounce of pain you need to tell me. Do you understand?
"Yes." Then I looked at my wrist. The doctor slowly started twisting it to the left. "Do you feel any pain?"
I shook my head and then he proceeded to twisting my wrist to the right. I felt like someone was stabbing my wrist.
"OW!" I yelled "Stop!" I clenched my jaw. The doctor insensately stopped twisting my wrist. "Well, I'm sorry to say this Marissa but you got to wear the cast for about another week or two. The left side seems to be fine but the right side doesn't."
I let out a sigh. Well this is great…Wonderful….Perfect… This just brightens up my day.
"I got to go back to my office now. In two weeks I'll see you again and we can take off your cast." The doctor said.
"K." I said angrily.
Just like that the doctor was gone leaving only Zuko and I in the room.
"You're a terrible doctor." I said laughing.
Zuko looked at me shocked and said "What?"
I laughed "You were the one who wrapped my wrist."
Zuko looked at me angrily "So?"
I gave him a blank stare and said "So you did badly on wrapping my wrist."
"I did not!" Zuko yelled. Oh crap…
"Whoa, Chill out. It was a joke!" I said.
I could tell Zuko was embarrassed by this greatly. He started scratching the back of his hair and his face was so red. "Well..I…I didn't know!" He yelled.
"Zuko." I let out a little laugh. "Its okay,"
"Well…If you say so." Zuko let out a little smile.
I did something so strange next. I walked over to where Zuko was standing and said "You're the best."
I could feel Zuko tense up at first and then he replied "Er….If you say so… And I mean….Your not bad yourself…. I mean like you're the best to….I mean for a girl…For you at least." I laughed and I had to admit I love when Zuko tries to say things but the words come out wrong. The next thing I remember is that Zuko's lips were against mine. I felt like we were in heaven until I heard a gasp that was neither mine or Zuko's. We both quickly pulled apart and looked toward the direction of the gasp.
I could feel my eyes go wide to see Iroh there. Shit, Shit, Shit, Shit. I thought. The look on Iroh's face though was priceless. His golden eyes were huge and his jaw was wide open. I could feel myself blushing and knowing Zuko he was probably too.
"Uncle!" Zuko yelled. "What are you doing? How long where you there for? Did you know there is such thing as privacy!" I just kept quiet…. This was just so embarrassing.
Iroh just stood there for another couple seconds until he started bursting out laughing.
I just stood there thinking…. What the fuck is wrong with this guy?
"Uncle….Please explain to me what you are doing." Zuko said in a bitter tone ending it with a growl.
"Zuko, my nephew, and Marissa kissing? The heavens….THEY HAVE SPOKEN!" Yelled Iroh. Then Iroh walked over to us and gave us both a hug.
"Um….." I said.
Zuko was just giving his uncle a glare… If only looks could kill.
"I knew it! I knew it! I knew there was something fishy going between you two! And I finally know what it is! You guys like each other!" Iroh said excitedly.
I swear I heard Iroh squeal as he ran out of the room. Zuko and I then looked at each other and gave the "What the Fuck just happened" look.

I was jolted out of bed. I looked at my hands and I noticed that they were sweating and I was shaking.
Damn nightmares I thought.
It was the same one I was having for a while now. The one that I was a fire bender and I was destined to destroy the world. I let out a sigh.
It's just a dream. It's just a dream. It's just a dream. I kept repeating that mantra to myself. I mean if I was a fire bender I would know by know right? Maybe it's triggered by something. I let out a sigh. There it goes. This voice in my head was talking to me again. I don't know why but I do know one thing; that its annoying.
"Go away. It's not triggered by anything…It's a dream."
You never know. Said the voice.
I let out an annoyed sigh. "Dreams are just visions of the mind. They are not real. They are just the most random thoughts all put into one."
Then why do you keep having dreams about your past then?
"You know what? You whatever you are just shut up? Okay? Just leave me alone you're not helping this situation."
Sometimes I think I'm just going crazy. I let out a sigh. I decided to close my eyes and go back to sleep.

Sleep didn't last very long for me and I woke up gasping for air. It was the same dream… But this time I killed a child… I remember her screaming. The strange thing though is that I never saw this child. She had brown hair and amber eyes… Oh my god…. Was that suppose to be my child of Zuko and I? I let out a sarcastic laugh.. No, my god no. That wasn't possible. I cursed myself for even thinking that thought. I let out another sigh and once again I tried going back to sleep.

I woke up screaming "NO!" My breathing was fast and I was visibly shaking. Why all the sudden these nightmares? I decided to walk around the ship and see if it was early enough to get up. I went outside only to be in complete shock. It was pitch black outside. Well this is just great… One thing I knew that helped me when I was little when I had nightmares was sleeping with my parents…But I didn't have my parents now… I let out a sigh. I considered going back to sleep again but I knew I would just have a night filled with nightmares. I let out a sigh. Once choice…. Zuko.
I walked to Zuko's room and I really began regretting my decision. Come on you know you want to. Oh great so now this voice is going to talk to me again.
I slowly lifted my hand and began knocking on his door. I stood there freighted. Would he be mad at me? Would he scream at me? I heard the door clicked and there stood Zuko.
"What do you want?" He said tiredly rubbing his eyes.
"I had nightmares…." I said.
"And what do you want me to do about it?' He asked me slightly getting annoyed.
I let out a sigh. "Well I was wondering if please pretty please if I could sleep with you? Please I know it sounds awkward or you can come back to my room and just stay there til I fall asleep." I then felt the tears coming. "I just don't want to have another nightmare…" I trailed off after then and I looked at Zuko his face emotionless.
Zuko let out a sigh. "Come in I guess." He said it in an awkward way… I found his bed by using my shin to guide me in the dark and I soon crawled into it. At first Zuko didn't join me.
"I'm sorry Zuko…" I started out " I already had three nightmares and I don't want to get another one."
I could feel Zuko was just staring at me. It seemed like hours until he let out "It's okay. But just this one night. I don't like being disturbed."
Then I could feel the bed move and Zuko was in bed with me. I could feel my face get warm. I wondered if he was nervous too.
"Well… Goodnight." I said and rolled over so my back was facing him.
"Night." He let out with a sigh.
For the first time that night I had no nightmares.
~Zuko's POV~
I woke up in the morning only to feel something against me. I was wondering who or what it was but then I remembered I let Marissa sleep with me last night. I looked down and saw her cuddled up to my chest with her face. I felt awkward but then I realized that my arm was around her. I felt my face turn red. I looked down at Marissa and she looked so peaceful. I could feel a smile coming on. For once I actually liked a morning.
