Chapter 7

Attentions:

"Kalina? What happened? Why are you crying?" asked Yoko when her sister got back. She was waiting for her return in the garden at their veranda.

"He is not the same" cried Kalina in her sister's arms. "He doesn't want anything to do with me."

"What happened Kalina?" asked her sister.

"We were just talking and then suddenly he kissed me" said Kalina touching her lips.

Yoko gave her a confused look. "So then why are you so upset? Isn't that supposed to be good?" asked her befuddled sister.

"After he kissed me he pushed himself away from me and told me that he never wanted to see me again." At this point Kalina started crying harder.

Yoko looked at her sister sympathetically. She had no idea this meeting was going to turn out this way. She felt very guilty for giving her the idea. Yoko was very surprised that Zuko would behave this way. She was only 10 at the time but she could still remember Prince Zuko. She remembered how true the love he had for her sister was.

Yoko remembered the endless nights when her sister would talk about him. She also remembered that night when Kalina broke off their courtship. She never told her sister this but she was there hiding just outside the window, listening.

"How could this be?" Yoko thought to herself. "Oh, Kalina I'm so sorry. If it wasn't for me this meeting would have never happened."

Kalina now seizing her tears looked up at her sister and smiled. "It's fine. I'm kind of glad this turned out this way. Because I know now how he feels after all this time. It doesn't bother me anymore that he's going to be at that stupid ball."

"Yea, you don't need him. Besides you are way to pretty for him" said Yoko brushing the strand of hair that Kalina had by her eye. She hugged her sister as tightly as she could trying so hard to ease her pain. "Now come on" began Yoko. "Let's get ready for that stupid ball." she said gleaming at her sister.

"Alright let's get ready." said Kalina getting up. They started off until they were stopped by Headmistress Suki.

"Kalina, may I have a word with you?" said Suki sternly. Kalina took in a big gulp. "Did she know?" How'd she find out? Oh, dear!" Kalina's mind was all a scramble.

"Yes Suki I'll be right there." Suki lifted her left eyebrow at this and was off.

"Do you think she knows!" asked Yoko.

"Shhh!" Kalina was still looking at Suki walking off. "I don't know?"

"Sit" said Suki pointing to the chair in front of her desk. Kalina sat down a little too fast. She almost fell to the floor along with the chair, but luckily she caught her self in time.

Suki's mouth was slightly opened at the event that just took place. She sat down. "Well, it seems that we have something to discuss" Kalina took in another big gulp. "One of the Head Advisors of the Fire Lord has told me…." "I'm sorry! But I just had to." screamed Kalina. Suki at this point was looking at a Kalina in complete shock.

"What are you talking about?" asked Suki. Kalina closed her mouth with her hands. "Nothing, go on."

"As I was saying" once again began Suki. "One of the Head Advisors of the Fire Lord has asked me to select one of my dancers to give the Fire Lord extra attention. And I have chosen you."

"What? Why?" asked Kalina a little uneasy.

"Because you are one of my best dancers and I know that you won't let me down."

Kalina thought about this "Well when she puts it like that its kind of hard to say no. Oh dear, what do I do? It's his father!"

"Kalina, were you crying?" asked Suki interrupting her thoughts. Kalina forgot that she had been crying so hard that most likely her eyes were redder than cherries. "Uh, no! It's just allergies." Kalina said waving her hands frantically to her face.

Kalina ended up agreeing, and was excused to go get ready.

"What did she say? Did you get punished?" asked Yoko hugging her sister for dear life.

"No it had nothing to do with that." said Kalina chuckling. "She wants mee to give the Fire Lord "extra attention."

"Why would she ask you to do that?" asked Yoko.

"One of the Head Advisors of the Fire Lord had requested it." answered Kalina plainly going to her closet.

This left Yoko thinking…. "Oh, my gosh! Don't you see Kalina this is your chance to make Prince Zuko jealous!

"What, why would I want to do that?"

"Oh, come on Kalina I know you still love him." said her sister slyly. "And besides maybe with this he will realize how much he really loves you."

"Yoko, first of all" Kalina said while slipping into a red beaded kimono." There are to reason why this little thought of yours won't happen. A. He doesn't even like me anymore. And B. It's his father. Why would he risk his self into getting into more trouble with him?"

Her sister was helping her tie the dress all together at this point. "Well I still think it's worth a try."

Kalina just rolled her eyes at this, but she couldn't help but think "What would he do when he saw if he were to see me with his father?"

"You did what!" asked Iroh a little furious. His nephew didn't pay any mind. He was just putting on his attire for the ball.

"Why did you do that?"

"Because I had to, it's the law. Besides she would have done the same to me, it was only a matter of time."

"No Zuko. What you did was very selfish. Something tells me that that girl wanted to stay with you. If she didn't why would she ask to meet with you again?"

"Maybe she gets sick pleasure out of toying with other people's emotions." answered Zuko in disgust.

"You are just blinded upon getting even with her for what she did to you those 2 years ago. Zuko this girl loves you your just to blind to see that." Iroh said this while heading to the door.

Prince Zuko looked down and sighed. "What if I was wrong about her what if she did want to stay with me?" he thought to himself.

"Alright." his uncle stopped at this. "How do I get her back?"

His uncle smiled. He turned around to look at his nephew. "You must woo her. Tell her the truth on how you really feel about her. Give her your attention. And in your case, don't take no for an answer."

Iroh left his nephew to think about this. Zuko knew what he had to do. He had to sweep her off her dancing feet once again.

There you go that was chapter 7. How was it? Did ya'll like it? Tell the truth. K.

LOLOLOL
