Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN AVATAR! If I did, do you think I wouldbe writting fanfiction. But Nickelodeon will fall soon enough! Masako Moonshade is organizing a takeover! Join! Help us takeover Nickelodeon!

OK, whoot! Second chappie!

Previously: Aang and Zuko (Zuko winning) were fighting when Iroh came with the news that Fire Lord Ozai had died. Iroh, Zuko, Aang, Sokka, and Katara are going to Zuko's ship to discuss the "matter of ending the war"

Harpygirl91: Thank you for the review. Butcher knifes shall die! I will use my army of forks to rid the world of butcher knifes, then I shall stab you with my fork!

Kulia Makani: Thanks for the review, yeah I agree. I love Zuko/Katara stories, but there should be more Haru/Katara stories

MorningStarMaster: Thanks for the review. Thanks! Heres the next chappie!

Midianek: Thanks for the review, thanks. It'll be told later how Ozai was killed. And Zuko will be a little more emotional later, but now hes just stunned.

Katuko: Lol, thanks. Love your story by the way. Story will be like reruns of most of the episodes anyway. I'm not quite sure how I'd make a "rerun" of the Blue Spirit episode. When they meet Jet again (which they will), they'll...uh...stab him with a fork! Yup...stab him with a fork...

Chapter Two: On Our Way

"Tea?" Iroh smiled and poured some tea for his nephew, the Avatar, and the watertribe boy and girl.

Zuko still seemed stunned. Iroh starred at him, wondering how much of the info he had actually registered.

"Excuse me."

Iroh looked up at the water tribe girl, "Yes?"

"If you don't mind me asking, how exactly did the Fire Lord die?"

"Late Fire Lord." Iroh gestured to his nephew, "Zuko is now Fire Lord. The late Fire Lord Ozai was poisoned by someone who is unknown. Although there are many people in the Fire Nation searching for this person. But I do not see how they will be able to find this person."

"Uncle."

Iroh looked at his nephew ,who had not spoken for a while, "Yes?"

"I am now Fire Lord. Right now. Correct?"

"Yes."

"So I can issue commands to the Fire Nation Army right now?"

"Yes."

"May I go get some paper and one of our messenger hawks?"

Iroh was surprised. Usually his nephew would simply stand and leave, only telling Iroh what he was about to do if he asked. "I think I know what you are going to do. But if I am correct, it is not pressing. I suggest that you wait until we discuss certain matters with the young avatar."

Iroh was even more surprised when Zuko remained seated.

"Hey." Katara said suddenly, looking at Zuko. "Do you think I could have my mother's necklace back? I mean, now that you're not after Aang anymore, I shouldn't be of any use to you."

Zuko blinked once and said, "Sure." Without another word Zuko left and went to retrieve the necklace.

As Zuko walked down the halls of his ship. He thought about the death of Fire Lord Ozai. He no longer thought of Fire Lord Ozai as his father. It didn't seem right when he did. Ozai was not a father. Fathers took care of you. They did not banish their sons. They did not give their sons scars that covered half their faces. Zuko brought his hand to his cheek and felt the burned skin around his eye. Fathers did not do this to their sons.

Zuko sighed and noticed that he had come to the end of the hallway. He backed up slowly and went into his room. He paused momentarily, wondering why he had come to his room. Then he remebered. The water bender's necklace. His picked it up of a table near his door and walked back to the tea room where his uncle, the avatar, and the water tribe girl and boy where.

When he entered, the avatar was talking to Iroh about Pai Jo, the watertribe boy was running his finger along the edge of his boomerang, and the waterbender, staring at the cup of tea in front of her. Zuko walked over to her, tapped her shoulder, and held out the necklace for her.

Katara gave a slight gasp at the sight of her mother's necklace. She reached forward, hand trembling, and took the necklace out of Zuko's hand. She whispered a quiet thank you and put the necklace on her neck again.

Katara sighed and stroked the necklace again. It's familiar weight felt comforting, and the smooth stone felt cool and calmed her at the touch. She shivered and felt tears in the corners of her eyes. She finally had her mother's necklace back.

She looked up as Zuko sat down again and Iroh clapped his hands.

"Ok, first I will cover some things I think we should discuss, then we shall do the actual discussing."

"Now. Of course Prince-, I mean Lord, Zuko, and I will return to the Fire Nation. But, as the Winter Solstice is approaching. I thought that the avatar would like to join us, and go to thetempleof Avatar Roku, and speak with him."

Aang nodded, "I would like that, but afterwards we must be on our way."

"Oh, I understand. You still need to master all the elements. Although Zuko will do his best to end the war, we may need your help. Many of the Earth and Water Nation people will not believe us to be sincere, and will not sign a peace treaty. So, we will need you to visit the other nations and let them know we are sincere. But only once we have communicated with them, unless they are planning to attack.Therefore, we shall keep contact with you. we will send you a message by messenger hawk, and you will send us one back by thta same hawk. If you feel the need to contact us, find a hawk where you are, or in extreme cases, send your leemur. Oh, and you are now welcome in the Fire Nation. Correct Lord Zuko?"

Iroh turned and looked at his nephew. "Yes Uncle. The avatar-"

"Aang." Everyone turned to look at Katara "His name is Aang, can't you use his name now? You're friends aren't you?"

Zuko nodded, "Aang is now free to enter the Fire Nation. And when you are traveling, if you see any Fire Nation Soldier, ask them their buisness. They should be peaceful. If they are not, and are a threat to the people around them, alert me."

Aang nodded, "Ok."

As the discussoin continued, everyone voiced their opinions and they came to agreements about alerting one another in certain cases.

Hours later, they all stood above deck, now joined by all members of the ship's crew.

Lord Zuko stood in front of his crew with Aang by his side and said, "We are no longer at war. We are now at peace with the Avatar and soon will be at peace with the other nations."

The crew cheered. They could finally return home.

Zuko turned, shook Aang's hand. Thenhis two companion's hands as well. As did Iroh.

Aang, Katara, and Sokka,jumpedonto Appa, andflew away. Zuko watched them go,standing above deck, watching until they were out of site.

"Alright men, set course for the Fire Nation, we're going home!"
