Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar: the last airbender. I do own May, her family, friends, and other people which I made up in my story.
Fire Nation Prince in the U.S.A.
A/N: Thank you for the reviews! I'm gonna try to post up as many chapters as possible per day. I so can't wait till the Season Premiere!
Chapter 7:
May had gotten dressed for Thanksgiving lunch with her grandparents, uncle, aunt, and a few other relatives. She had dress pants on and a nice short sleeved shirt with a jacket. May had taken her hair out of a ponytail and kept it down. Zuko was wearing a pair of pants plus a short sleeved shirt.
"Why are you keeping your hair down?" asked Zuko. "You usually keep it up."
"Cus my grandma likes my hair down." Said May.
"Well, you should keep it down more." Said Zuko.
"I'll keep it down when I want to." Said May. "This is gonna be another fighting than Thanksgiving between the 2 generals." Zuko looked over at May. "I have an uncle who is a general beside my dad. They NEVER get along. And I mean never! Just don't talk to them unless they talk to you directly."
"Is there anything I shouldn't do around them?" asked Zuko.
"Just try to stay calm and keep your cool." Said May. "And do NOT firebend whatever you do! Firebending is BAD!"
"I won't." said Zuko.
"And just to tell you, they don't really like knowing that I'm a firebender." Said May. "So if they make a comment about firebenders that is bad, IGNORE IT! Do I have your word on it?"
"You have my word." Said Zuko.
"Let's hope this is short and sweet." Said May. "Not long and sour."
Zuko was standing next to May in her grandparent's house. Zuko was looking at all of the people. 2 which May had pointed out as her Uncle Bob, a general in the army, and his wife Aunt Sarah, a major in the army. Dianne was over with her husband talking about what they had been doing. May's grandparents were setting the food down on the counter. Delicious smells filled the house. A little kid around 5 came up running into May.
"MAY!" yelled the little kid.
"Hey, Andrea!" said May. Zuko looked down at the little girl who had blue eyes, and light brown hair. She was dressed in a skirt and short sleeved shirt.
"Cool, that's Prince Zuko from Avatar: the last airbender!" said Andrea. "You're a firebender just like May! C'mon, follow me!" Andrea took Zuko's hand and ran off to the downstairs which was a second family room. May followed behind. "Looky who I brought!" Zuko looked around to see about 3 little kids around 7 or 5.
"Okay this is, Mikey." Said May pointing to a little kid who had brown hair and green eyes. "This is, Joey," Pointing to a little boy with hair colored dark brown and had deep green eyes. "And finally this is Dana." Pointing to a little girl who had her light brown hair in a braid and had blue eyes. "Is Ryan or Zaria coming?" asked May.
"NO!" yelled Mickey.
"They're staying at college for Thanksgiving because of homework!" said Dana.
"Oh, yeah!" said May. "We get video games!"
"Come eat!" yelled May's grandma. The little kids ran into the kitchen like maniacs. Zuko and May followed like mature teenagers. May got in line for the Vegetable Soup. Zuko followed May. Some of the adults glared at Zuko. May got a bowl and poured some soup.
"You want any, Zuko?" asked May.
"What is it?" asked Zuko.
"The best veggie soup you'll ever taste!" said May.
"I guess." Said Zuko. May got a bowl of soup and placed it on his plate. May continued threw the line putting some mashed potatoes on her plate, some corn, and a small piece of fried chicken. Zuko just put a couple of pieces of chicken on his plate.
Zuko and May had finished their meals and were watching the little kids play Mario Cart Double Dash.
"Your dead!" yelled Dana when Mikey passed her.
"Ha-ha!" laughed Mikey. Andrea came up to pass Joey.
"Hey!" yelled Joey.
"If you can't get along, I'll come in and beat all your butts!" said May.
"What about Zuko?" asked Mikey."
"Is that a challenge?" said May.
"You're on!" yelled Mikey. "I get Joey for my partner!"
"I call Dana!" yelled Andrea.
"You're with me, Zuko." Said May. May handed him a controller.
"What do I do with this?" asked Zuko.
"You see A, there?" said May. "When I say so hit it lightly with your finger. And x, press when I say so. Got it?"
"Yeah," said Zuko. Zuko watched the screen. All at once the cars took off.
"A, Zuko! A!" said May. Zuko pressed A, and watched as his character hit another character as May's character was driving the car. "X!" Zuko pressed x and watched as he left a bomb in the middle of the road. Zuko watched as May took turns and shortcuts. They came across where they had started ."2 more laps!" A car passed May's.
"We passed May!" yelled Joey and Mikey in unison.
"Your DEAD!" said May. "X! Hit X!" Zuko hit x as a bomb hit Joey's car. May passed the car. "This is how we have our Agni Kais Zuko since most people can't firebend. X!" Zuko pressed x as they left a banana peel in the road.
"What's the point of this?" asked Zuko.
"To WIN!" yelled the little kids.
"And kick your butts!" said May. Zuko and May's car came across the finish line with Dana and Andrea close behind, and Joey and Mikey tailing in last. "We won, Zuko!" said May. "Good job for a first timer!" Upstairs was yelling going on.
"Uh oh, sounds like fighting!" said Mikey.
"Let's go watch!" said Joey. The little kids raced up the stairs into the kitchen. Zuko looked over at May.
"As I said, my dad and his brother don't get along very well." Said May. "Let's go outside." May got up and went up the stairs with Zuko be her side. They got a glimpse of what was going to end in yelling and possibly throwing of food between the 2 adult brothers. May went out the door and into the backyard. There was a big, strong palm tree that bent so that it was parallel with the ground. There were 3 swings attached to it. May went over and sat down in one. Zuko sat in the middle on beside May.
"I wonder how Aang is doing?" said May.
"Last time I checked, they had made it to the Northern Water Tribe." Said Zuko.
"Yeah," said May. "Know that. I mean I wonder how they are doing with Zhao coming in with his fleet."
"They'll escape some how like they always have." Said Zuko. "And I thought when I first saw him that my journey would finally be over."
"It will be soon enough." Said May. "And you'll be Fire Lord. Cus, that's how most stories like that one will end. Everyone will live happily ever after."
"Not all stories end like that though," said Zuko.
"I know, but this one might." Said May. "You'll be Fire Lord and I'll be here in the U.S.A. playing tennis while the world thinks that firebenders don't exist."
Or you could stay in the Fire Nation. Zuko, stop! Just a thought. It better be! Thought Zuko. Must stop talking to myself in my head!
"We better go back inside. It's about to rain." Said May getting up. Zuko looked up at the sky. Just a moment ago it was clear, but now there were grey clouds. Zuko followed May to the porch. Just when they got inside, it started to pour.
A/N: Well, Thanksgiving went pretty well beside May's father and his brother fighting. LOL! 4 pages on microsft and yet again it took me all day pretty much.
