A/N: And thanks for the reviews! YAY! 2nd chapter finally up! I had a good midterm! I'm NOT grounded! I would've been if I have lower than B-.
Chapter 2:
Getting Zuko tog et in the car was a battle of its own. The car had to be turned off. May's friend, Kendal, who had blond hair and blue eyes was waiting. Kendal was 17 years old. May's other friend, Madison, who had brown hair and green eyes was trying to push Zuko into the car. Last, but not least was Sam. Sam was Kendal's boyfriend who had freckles, red hair, and hazel eyes was in the front seat.
"C'mon, Zuko!" yelled May pushing Zuko into the car. Madison was helping, but Zuko was stronger. With one last shove. Zuko was pushed into the car with May and Madison close behind. Kendal locked the doors immediately and started the BMW car up.
"Now, on to Skate Land!" said Kendal. Sam put the radio on which was playing "Boulevard of Broken Dreams". May, and Madison buckled up.
"Let me help." said May. She brought the seat belt across and put it in the slot. The car pulled out of the driveway as it passed the 50 acres of woods that surrounded May's house.
"So this must be the famous Prince Zuko." said Madison. "May has told us about your adventures, though she REFUSES to share the romance stuff!" Zuko looked over at May.
"What?" said May.
"Did you catch that tennis match yesterday?" asked Sam.
"that was so close!" said May. "Rafael won!"
"What's tennis?" asked Zuko.
"Something you'll get to see us do later today, Zuko!" said May.
"Just try NOT to hit anyone today, May." said Madison.
"I can't help it that I kill the tennis ball." said May. "How long till we get to Skate Land?"
"Just hold on, May." said Kendal. "Sam do you have an extra pair of roller blades that Zuko could barrow?"
"What are roller blades?" asked Zuko.
Zuko was holding onto the railing with dear life. Just trying to stand on roller blades was hard enough. May hit her hand to her forehead. They had been at this for an hour.
"Look, Zuko." said May. "Find your balance and it's easy." Zuko looked around in the bid oval where other skaters were including May's friends. "Okay Zuko, we're going to try the old way of getting used to skates. Hold on to my right arm while I take you around once." Zuko wasn't so sure. Zuko finally grabbed May's upper arm with dear life. May skated out to the roller blade rink and started going around. Zuko's skates kept moving all over the place.
"How do you stand in these?" asked Zuko.
"Just don't move your skates." said May as they rounded the first corner. "It's not that hard." Zuko looked at her with a face of disbelief. "See." said May taking Zuko's hand off her arm. She started skating off fast down in no time. "Meetcha at the opening!" she yelled from the other side. Zuko's feet were not coordinating with what he was trying to tell them to do.
"If I can firebend, then I can do this." said Zuko. Zuko watched as skaters passed him. Zuko tried mimicking what they were doing. At first he about fell backwards, but then he started centering himself on the wheels. Zuko wasn't going fast, but he started rollerblading. There was one problem, a turn was coming up. Zuko kept his one roller blade straight and pushed out with the other one to turn him. May came out to meet Zuko clapping. She stuck her tongue out at Madison. May was clapping.
"Good job!" said May. "Now all we have to work on is speed!" Zuko looked at her with a face saying 'No way'. "Or we can just go play tennis?"
Zuko was in the car once again and was holding onto the seat with white knuckles. He was glad to have the rollerblades taken off and his shoes put back on. The car came to a stop. May, Madison, Sam, Kendal, and a very relieved Zuko came out. They entered a building that had a lobby with tables and chairs on one side and the other side had a counter with people behind it. To the right was a hallway that led to the Girl's locker room and the Boy's locker room was across from the girls. Sam had brought a bag in.
"Sam, watch Zuko while we go change into out tennis clothes." said May as she, Kendal, and Madison took off to the girl's locker room.
"So, " said Sam. "you're a prince of the Fire Nation. You like May?" Zuko looked at Sam. "I mean as a friend."
"Yeah," said Zuko.
"She's a good friend." said Sam. "Known her since she was 5 and I was 6."
"What is she like?" asked Zuko.
"She's one heck of a tennis player," said Sam. "She's kind, friendly, always seems to be in a good mood, loyal, trustworthy, and she's an angle in disguise."
"Like how?" asked Zuko.
"She's the kindest person you could ever meet if you are her friend." said Sam. "I'm surprise through. That she hasn't done something though." Zuko looked at Sam. "Her grandpa died when she was 10 from being shot in the head by a maniac. Her grandfather was like a second dad when her father wasn't there for her. She was very close to him, but when he died. She just didn't seem to trust people that much anymore. That's why when boys would ask her out to a school dance or something she usually said no."
"We weren't friends in the beginning, but we became friends." said Zuko.
"I'm glad." said Sam. "I think it has helped her trust people more. She's not usual girl so she's a friend to keep Zuko." May and Kendal came out. May had her same shirt on, but had a tennis skirt on with the shorts underneath. Kendal had a blue shirt on and a blue shorts on. May had a babolat racket that was blue and white with white strings and a light blue grip. Kendal has a black babolat with yellow strips, a deep blue grip, and white strings also. Madison came out with a Pink shirt that black strips on the side, and a pink skirt to match.
"Let's go, people!" said May.
3 hours they had been playing tennis. On the tennis court was battle between Sam and May going on while Kendal and Madison fought. Zuko was watching May playing. He was fascinated with the game. May could give a hard serve and it would be in. Zuko didn't know half the time how they kept the ball in play. The last point was played. May was up at the net. Sam tried to lob, but instead gave May an easy overhead for match point. May whammed the tennis racket down as it made contact with the tennis ball. The tennis ball it the right corner for a winner. Sam walked to the net and shook May's hand.
"Good match." said May.
"same here." said Sam. Kendal came over with Madison behind.
"You guys ready to go home?" asked Kendal.
"Yeah." said May. "I need a shower."
"We all do." said Madison.
Zuko got in the car thinking about what same had said. Zuko had become used to the car as it drove out of the parking lot. It was the last part of what Sam had said that he kept dwelling on, She's an angle in disguise.
A/N: Well, there's your chapter 2! I might be able to get chapter 3 up later tonight! Well, Zuko's thinkg about what Sam said. Hope ya liked this chapter! Thanks for the reviews as always!
