Man! School starts tomorrow for me and I am so ticked off bout that right now! Ugh!
Just for a FYI: All Firedancers are fire benders hence the word "Fire"dancer. I hope I'm not offending anybody's intelligence. But I felt like I just had to add that in.
Anyways without further ado here is chapter 3. Enjoy!
Chapter 3
TwoDays Later:
It was early morning and Prince Zuko could already see the kingdom up ahead. He had been anxious all day yesterday and barley ate any breakfast due to this.
Ever since his uncle told him about the Firedancers being at the ball, it's all that he could think about. But of course he wasn't showing his anxiety at all, but as always his uncle could see right through him.
Iroh was happy to see his nephew like this. In complete torment, and it wasn't because of the Avatar nor Admiral Zhao but for over a girl!
"What are you thinking about know Prince Zuko?" asked Iroh with a slight smirk.
"Huh? What? What did you say uncle?" was the Prince's response. Iroh laughed at this, and his nephew wanted to know what was so funny.
"I demand to know why you're laughing uncle" asked Zuko with a hint of anger but above all confusion.
"Oh nothing" said Iroh trying to seize his emotion. "I just asked what you were thinking about, but with that response I already know whatson your mind."
"Is that so, alright than tell me what is on my mind" Zuko said with a bit of arrogance.
"It's her." Zuko flinched at this. "Wow! He's good" he thought.
There was a long pause. Then Zuko turned to walk towards the railing of the ship.
"What am I going to do about her? I can't get her out of my head. I mean, she probably doesn't even remember me. But even if that's the case, I still want to see her and talk to her again."
"Well," said his uncle coming from behind Zuko. "You'll just have to wait and see about that. But I for one don't think she has forgotten about you Zuko." His uncle said putting his right hand on Zuko's shoulder.
"You think so uncle."
"I know so. One's first love is very hard to forget, even when the company wasn't there for very long."
Prince Zuko looked at his uncle and then to the sea. He stood there just looking at it for a moment. Then he looked at his uncle again.
"Yea, but you also have to keep in mind…that people change. Haven't I changed uncle?"
"Well I guess you are right about that you have been a bit moodier this past year" his uncle said jokingly.
Zuko was about to argue at this remark and then retreated when he saw that it was just a joke. He smiled.
"Zuko, this is true people do change, but love, love is like a never ending ocean" Iroh said swishing his left arm to the sea. "And that, Prince Zuko, never changes."
"We'll see about that." Zuko said leaving his uncle behind to go meditate.
"Yes" Iroh said and chuckled. "We most certainly will."
"Oh dear, oh gosh. Today is the day, got to get ready. Where's my shoes, and my dress. Has anybody seen my dress?" said the very paranoid Kalina.
"Do you mind? Its 4 o'clock in the morning, Kalina." said her very annoyed little sister putting her pillow over her head.
"Oh, I know that silly Yoko. No one ever said that you couldn't be ready too early." said Kalina cheerfully.
"Omgh! Will I say go get ready some where else, I am trying to sleep! said her sister.
"Fine, I'll just go practice my dancing in the garden."
"Whatever, go just leave me at peace!"
Kalina rolled her eyes at this and was off. She had little to eat for breakfast and then went straight to the garden. The garden was the most peaceful place to be in, especially if you were as paranoid as Kalina.
She began to stretch and then started with her warm-ups, which was just lifting the legs one by one up as high as you can then down as slow and as gracefully as you can.
Kalina stopped and looked towards the Fire Lord's Palace. She sighed and sat on the edged of the fountain. A fountain that had a cupid statue so ironically pointing at her.
She blushed, and looked away. She looked towards the horizon where she saw many ships arriving early to the event that would take place in the evening.
She could see the many royal faces of the royal family coming in. She sighed again and started to look away when something caught her eye.
"It's him!"
lol! I am so evil. But please don't forget to review.
