A/N: One of my favorite movies of all time is the Rush Hour trilogy. So I put these names here. I laugh so hard when I watched this scene, the Mi and Yu part.

"Are you seeing what I'm seeing?"
"Yes, I'm seeing it. I'm just not believing it yet."
The two friends are currently watching two guys play in the water. The other man has dark skin and blue eyes while the other has a pale complexion and striking gold eyes. They just finished a swimming race and now, they are preparing to have a contest of who can hold his breath longer under the water.
The guys in the water stared at one another's eyes as if telling their opponent that they're watching his every movement. After that warning look, they decided to continue. They gathered air in their lungs as much as they could and the men finally submerge themselves.
Mi and Yu are dignitaries from the Earth Kingdom and they are in the Southern Water Tribe to attend an important event of the four nations. They're just passing the time while waiting for the avatar when they stumbled on this interesting scene.
The two friends glanced at the water and then, at each other. It has been almost five minutes now since they saw the guys started their silly match. They waited some more and after a few seconds, one of them resurface.
He was taking deep gulps of air, no doubt trying to get his breath back. When he got himself settled, he waited for his friend. Then, approaching the six minute mark, the other man finally appeared.
When he broke out, he just took long breaths to steady his breathing. After his exorcise, he looked at his friend and smirked.
The friend glowered at this and punched his arm. The other guy just laughed. It seems they're about to do another competition but they saw something overhead and they decided to dry up instead.
Mi and Yu were left blinking in astonishment. They couldn't believe what they just witness.
"Did Fire Lord Zuko win the breathing contest thing?" Mi asked his companion.
"Yes, he did." Yu replied equally bewildered.
"And he had a draw on the swimming race?"
"Uh-huh."
"With master Sokka of the Southern Water Tribe no less." Mi commented in awe, his eyes still wide.
"That's what I saw." Yu said, shaking his head.
"But... But... I don't understand."
"Well, that makes the two of us."
A/N: I'm not sure if Zuko can really beat Sokka in a contest like this but let's just pretend for the sake of fan fiction, okay? So, what do you think? Please leave a review on your way out!
