Return of the American Firebender

A/N: o-dragon, I do play tennis. I play 4-5 days a week. Sorry to say that FangonForest beat you for first review. Good try though. O-dragon, you are doing a good time reviewing. Just like everyone else! Thanks for the reviews, too! Sorry took so long. I had tennis and homework today so that is why it took a little longer to update. Here is Chapter 2!

Chapter 2:

"Miss May!" said Iroh coming down from the boat.

"Hello, General Iroh." said May taking a step back from Zuko.

"How have you been?" asked Iroh.

"Fine." said May. "Where am I?"

"Your near a port." said Zuko. "How did you get here anyway?"

"I don't know!" said May. "One minute I'm at home on the beach, the next I'm in your world!"

"Well lets get you back on the ship." said Zuko getting back on the boat. May nodded and followed.


May laid on her bed in the same room she had been in before. Surprisingly she found that all her cloths that she had made in this world where still in this room. May felt relaxed being back on the ship. She no longer would be trapped in her own house.


May woke to the sound of Zuko yelling once again. May got up and changed into a red long sleeved shirt with black on the collar, and a red skirt that went to her ankles with black on the very bottom. She put her hair up into a ponytail as always. She left her room, and headed for the deck. She found Zuko yelling at Lt. Ji who was yelling at Zuko over something.

"Shut up! That includes you, Zuko!" yelled May.

"Who are you to yell at me?" yelled Zuko at May.

"Cus I can!" said May. "Plus, it's WAY TOO early to be yelling. And I can yell at who I want to!"

"You have no right to yell at a prince." said Zuko standing in front of May.

"I can if I want to!" said May. "Your not my superior!"

"I am too!" yelled Zuko. "As long as you are on my ship, you oblige by my rules!"

"Only if I want too!" yelled May.

"They must really like to argue." whispered Iroh to Lt. Ji.

"They must" whispered Ji. to Iroh.

"Stupid head!" yelled May.

"American!" yelled Zuko.

"That's it!" she yelled. "When you say American like! Your messing with the United States. You piece of Shit of a prince!"

"How dare you call the Prince of the Fire Nation that, you peasant!" yelled Zuko.

"I'll call you what I like, Angry Boy!" she yelled. They went on calling each other names for about an hour.


It was late afternoon. May was listening to her mini ipod on deck. Zuko and them didn't really understand what its use was. May was listening to "Steve McQueen" by Sheryl Crow on max volume. If you tried to talk to her. She would say "What?" May was enjoying the beautiful day. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, and the temperature was just right for being outside. May took her headphones off after the song was over. She turn her mini ipod off. The ocean waves beat against the ship softly. The weather was steadily getting colder. May closed her eyes. It had been nice returning home, but she liked being out in the middle of the ocean. May was sitting down. Zuko had spent the day meditating after calling May names. May felt the urge to do a "little" prank.

"I just have to disturb the peace." she said. "I must. It wouldn't be any fun without any chaos." May went over to Iroh who tea just ran out.

"You want me to make you more tea, General Iroh?" asked May politely.

"Yes, please." said Iroh handing her the tea pot. "And make sure Prince Zuko gets his daily tea."

"Yes, Sir." said May as she nodded. May turned and had an evil grin on her face. May went down to Iroh's tea room. She picked up a couple packets of tea. She filled the tea pot up with water. May used Firebending to make the water hot. May stuck the packets in the tea and waited for the water to absorb the tea taste. Once the tea was done, May poured a cup of tea which she would give Zuko. May knew Zuko always put a little sugar in his tea, but she wasn't going to put sugar in his tea. No, she was going to put salt in his tea. She couldn't fight the urge to prank Zuko. May took the tea pot out to Iroh before she went back below deck; holding the cup of tea in her hand. May knocked on the door trying to hid the smile on her face.

"What?" said Zuko irritated.

"Tea." said May.

"Come in then." said Zuko. May came in and walked over to Zuko's meditating spot.

"Here you go." said May. She handed Zuko the cup of tea. Luckily the salt wasn't visible. May had put in a good amount in the tea cup. Zuko took a sip, but spit it back into the cup.

"What sort of tea is this?" yelled Zuko. May burst out laughing.

"you…..just…….been……part of…….a prank!" said May between her laughing fits. Zuko glared at her with his fist showing that fire was about to appear.

"WHY YOU!" yelled Zuko.

"Oh, c'mon! You don't think that I would go an entire trip without pranking someone!" said May as she stopped laughing. "I couldn't resisted. It seemed too funny to pass up!" Zuko glare slowly went away. He took a breath trying to calm down. "Can you forgive me?" asked May.

"As long as you don't do it again." said Zuko.

"Okay. But you take all the fun out of it!" said May.

"And why would that be fun?" asked Zuko.

"It just is!" said May sitting down. "It something that kids in my world do."

"I've never been to you world though." said Zuko.

"You need to sometime." said May. "You would enjoy it." May sighed.

"What's wrong?" asked Zuko.

"My parents will want an explanation when I get home." said May. "And I think I'll have to tell them the truth this time. That's what worries me. Don't know how they will react when they find out that I'm a firebender."

"Don't worry about them. For now, worry about the present. Not the future." said Zuko.

"I'll try not too." said May. "I do need to enjoy the present more. You better get back to meditation, Zuko." May started to get up, but Zuko pulled her back down.

"You can meditate with me if you want to." said Zuko. "After all, you're a firebender."

"Okay. I have nothing better to do." replied May. She sat down Indian style. She closed her eyes. Zuko looked over at her. May opened her eyes and turned to Zuko. "If you're wondering. I told you that I wouldn't break a promise."

"I'm glad you didn't break it." said Zuko. May looked at Zuko. She turned her face straight forward. She closed her eyes.

"How do I meditate?" she asked. "I have no clue."

"First of all take deep breaths. Then close your eyes. Find a place of peace in your mind." said Zuko. "Let it help you organize and make you thoughts more clear. Then you have made it to meditation."

"Sounds simple enough." said May. She did exactly what Zuko told her. Zuko watched and then he went to meditation.


Iroh came down looking for Zuko. He peeped through the door. He saw May and Zuko sitting side-by-side one another. He realized that they were both meditating. Iroh gave a small smile. It had been so long since Zuko showed that he could put his anger behind him and allow someone to come into his life, especially a young woman. Most people he would yell at. Iroh shut the door without disturbing them.

"Seems like you found a friend that you care about, Prince Zuko." whispered Iroh. "And about time."


May opened her eyes after about 30 minutes of meditation. She looked over at Zuko. He seemed quite calm and peaceful. She took a breath and tried to go back to meditation. Zuko just woke from his meditation and saw May trying to go back to meditation.

"You don't have to go back and meditate if you don't want to." said Zuko.

"Doesn't matter to me." said May.

"Well, I'm done meditating for the day." said Zuko.

"then I guess I'm done too." said May. "Thanks, Zuko."

"For what?" he asked.

"Just because." said May.
