Chapter Five: "Talkie"

3 days later…

Zuko rested along the deck of the ship with his eyes shut closed. He was tired of all the ridiculous tasks that Kiara sent him through. In fact, he almost fell down the edge of the ship if Kiara hadn't tied a rope to him.

Kiara, suddenly, tapped his shoulder, "Hey, Zuki!"

"What now?" Zuko answered in a rude matter.

"Aw, don't be mad Zuki! I was just trying to help," Kiara stated.

"Tch, yeah. You put me in the theater, you drown me for marshmallows, and you made me hit a high pitch in singing. That has nothing to do with anything I'll need in battle."

"Zuki, Zuki, Zuki…"

"STOP CALLING ME THAT!"

"Oh, sorry…Ummm.. Zuko, Zuko, Zuki.."

"WHAT DID I JUST SAY!"

"Sorry! I can't help it!"

Zuko slammed his head on the pole and stayed in that position, "You're hopeless…"

"But I have faith."

"I meant that it's no use to talk to you."

Kiara stood next to him and sighed, "Well, maybe that's because you never do. I mean, yeah you do, but you just don't open up to me you know?"

"Why would I want to?"

"Zuko, we've been friends for 10 years."

"Yes, I know, and you don't need to repeat that."

"I'm not repeating it, I'm reminding you."

"But I already know."

"But you're forgetting at times."

"No, I'm not."

"Yes, you are."

"No."

"Yes."

"…Forget it, same solution, same result."

"Well, anyway, back then we were as close as peanut butter and jelly!

"Was that even invented in our time?"

"Shhhh.. The readers aren't supposed to know that."

"Oops."

"Okay, we were as close as best friends!"

flashback-

"I HATE YOU ZUKI!"

"AND I HATE YOU!"

"YOU'RE THE WORSTEST FWEND I'VE EVA HAD!"

"WHO SAID YOU WER MY FWNED!"

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Kiara runs away in tears.

flashback over-

"Well, we did get back together, right Z?"

"Yeah, after Uncle Iroh hit us with the frying pan."

"Haha, those were the days."

"Yeah, like the time Uncle was trying to do the belly dance to cheer you up when you cried."

"Oh, geez. I can't believe I actually enjoyed those."

"I can't believe you didn't barf."

"HAHAHA! You're funny."

"Don't get cocky, I only do that at rare times."

"Yeah, sure. Like the time you thought Uncle Iroh was pregnant."

"Hah, it's hard to tell."

Kiara continued to laugh, while Zuko stayed with his usual attitude and thought about something.

"Hey, Kiara?"

"Yeah?"

"Why did you stay with me and Uncle?"

"You mean, now?"

"No, no. Back then."

"Oh, my father wanted me to train with you and from your Uncle"

"Who is your father anyway?"

"You mean, I didn't tell you?"

"I don't recall."

"Well, do you know Commander Zhao?"

"HE'S YOUR FATHER?"

"Yup! He's my dad alright! My pa!"

"I don't believe this. You don't even look anything like him!"

"That's because he adopted me!"

"You were adopted?"

"Yup!"

"Why?"

"Oh…umm…. I don't know. I just am!"

"I'll never look at you the same way again."

"Then how did you look me as?"

"….Nothing."

"HEY!"

"Uhhhh.. What were you going to say?"

"I was going to throw you off the ship and laugh in an evil matter."

"WHOA- I mean, no! I meant before the peanut butter and jelly talk!"

"Oh… Well the training that I gave you wasn't really necessary!"

"WHAT!"

"I just wanted to see if you can sing, dance, and swim! The real training hasn't begun just yet!"

"YOU MEAN I DIDN'T HAVE TO DO YOUR STUPID TASKS!"

"Eggzactally."

"… I hate you."

"I know!"

Zuko carried Kiara and threw her off the deck without feeling any guilt.

"Hey! That wasn't funny!"

"Yeah it is. Let's see if you can swim to the deck!"

"WHAT! OH GREAT!" Kiara swam quickly trying to keep up while Zuko watched with amusement.
