Chapter 9

Zuko, meet the gang!

Amy went to go answer the door. It was Brianna and Liz! Brianna has long purple hair and black glasses that everyone calls, 'Her sexy glasses.' Liz has short brown hair cut different lengths and has bright blue eyes when Brianna had deep brown. They both smiled at Amy.

"Hey Amy!" Liz stepped in and ran to the couch and grabbed a soda, "What's up my Homie G Waffles!" She asked, popping the top and taking a big swig of the soda.

Amy let Brianna in who went straight for the Ruffles.

"Nothing much Liz. Admiral is away for two months! Yeay! I'm waiting for everyone to get here so make yourselves as miserable as you can." But she could already see that they have done that. Relaxing on the sofa and watching MCR (My Chemical Romance) play on the television screen.

"So what is this meeting about? I know it's something about Zuko." Liz said, "Tell me."

"Um….I cannot disclose that information at this time, please hang up, or try again later." Amy said in a robot voice. Liz rolled her eyes, "Ha ha, funny. But I had a premonition that everyone in the room will be speechless…" Liz has random premonitions often. (I am not kidding people! It is freakish! She really does!) She's special. Amy shrugged, acting like it was no big deal.

A few minutes later, Courtney and her boyfriend Garret arrived.

" 'ello 'ello my lesbian darling!" Courtney shrieked, giving Amy a playful embellished hug. Garret moved past the two girls and sat a crate of Pepsi on the table, "Don't mind me, I'm just a figment of your imagination." He replied, rolling his eyes. No body heard him though, they were to busy giving each other hugs

Courtney has fuzzy dirty blonde hair and bright blue eyes that were colored contacts. No one knows what her real color is. Garret has short reddish blonde hair and was a few inches taller then Courtney, leaving him as 5'9. Big build, but he's a big pushover.

Courtney and Amy sat down on the couch, Bear jumping in Garrets lap and tried to beg a Dorito from him.

"Where is that guy that answered the phone earlier?" Courtney asked, "He sounded very familiar."

Amy smiled, "I'll never teeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!" She said in a sing-song voice.

Courtney threw a couch pillow at her, "Where is he Dammit!"

Their thoughts were interrupted by a low motor noise, it grew louder and there was a person yelling "SURFS UP!" Then a loud crash and the sound of wood splintering. A few moments later, Sydnee stumbled through the door, dirt smudged on her face and her hair in total disarray.

"Um, Amy? Was that statue of a dolphin broken before I crashed into it with my dirt bike?" She asked sheepishly.

Amy nodded, trying her hardest not to laugh, "Um…Yes." She lied, "Are you alright?"

Sydnee smiled and nodded, she looked back outside, "Eh.. But I don't think my bike is though….or your mail box…Oh well, Dad will pay for it. No worries!" She stumbled in and collapsed on the couch between Brianna and Liz, "So what's up dudes!" She exclaimed. She saw the puppy and shrieked, "BEAR CUB!" She cried, snatching the puppy off Garrets lap.

"Hey!" Garret cried.

Courtney got up and sat on Garrets lap, "Happy now?" Garret grinned and nodded, hugging her to him like a teddy bear. Everyone sat around and talked about school and the latest gossip, Garret stayed out of it, he not being the best gossiper compared to the girls.

"Who else needs to show up?" Bri asked, grabbing another handful of her favorite Ruffles.

"Stephanie and Sarah. They normally arrive together." Amy looked at the clock, it said only three minutes to four. They would be here any minute to Amy's estimate. Amy made sure that everyone was comfortable and busy so they wouldn't notice that she was going into her parent's room. Zuko was sitting on the bed, watching TV and eating a bowl of Doritos.

"What was that crash that I heard a few minutes ago?" Zuko asked, "Did something break?"
"That—was Sydnee. She crashed her dirt bike into my mailbox and one of the statues out front." Amy laughed.

Zuko was confused by Amy's behavior. If someone had broken one of his things, he would have been furious, not laughing at it. Wasn't Amy mad, "And you are not mad because of this?" He questioned.

Amy shook her head, "She always does crazy stuff like that. I'm not mad at all, its funny. When I first met her and she acted like that, I would get mad. Then I saw that I couldn't change who she is so I changed myself and stopped getting mad at every little weird thing that she did. I learned to laugh and joke around with other people, Sydnee helped me to do that after something bad happened in my life not to long ago." Amy shook herself, as if shaking a bad memory away, "But now I see humor in about everything thanks to Sydnee. She's one of the best friends a girl could ever have. She could always make someone laugh no matter how down that person is."

Amy got out Zuko's back pack filled with binders and papers with pens and pencils. Zuko had put the papers in the binder and written his name on all of his stuff like Amy advised.

"You ready for tomorrow?"

Zuko shrugged, "I don't know what is required to be ready for this school." He replied, "I've always had private tutors when at the palace, never learning with other students." There weren't any other children around Zuko's age when he was at home, his father forbidding him to associate with any one that was of lower rank then him, which was everyone. Ozai said that a prince was to learn how to act and only be taught the studies that he would have to learn when ruling the Firenation. Zuko wondered what going to this school will be like, how many people will he be in a 'class room' with?

Amy waved him off, dismissing his worries; "I'll wake you up when my alarm clock goes off. We will stop at Mikky D's (McDonald's) on the way to school to get some hashbrowns and stuff like that. School starts at 7:10 so we have to be there by that time."

The doorbell rang again three times. Amy smiled; it was Sarah and Stephanie she knew. She went out to answer it and opened the door to a dark skinned girl, Stephanie, and Sarah who was… well…. I'll let Sydnee answer that one. Amy let the two girls in and Sydnee jumped off the couch and ran to Sarah yelling, "VERTICALLY CHALLANGED NATIVE AMERICAN LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD!" (She seriously does this, and all in one breath!)

Sarah laughed, "And endangered Wolf!" Sydnee made a flourishing bow, "at your service Bilbo Baggins." (WTF) (My friends are weird, yes I know.)

Amy and Stephanie laughed at the two, . Stephanie turned to Amy and gave her a hug, "My guess is that you are doing good?"

Amy nodded, "Well, everyone sit on the couch. I got to tell ya'll something. So it's best that ya'll sit down because what I am about to tell you will shock you senseless!" She joked, but wasn't sure if she was or not.

They all sat down on the couch….with the exception of Courtney who was occupying Garrets lap at the moment.

Amy stepped in front of the small congregation, 'This is going to be weird.' Amy took a deep breath, "Ya'll probably… no doubt will not believe me when I tell you this but… on Friday, something weird happened."

Brianna scoffed, "It has to be super weird if you called all of us here." She said.

Amy continued, ignoring Brianna jibe, " I went down to the beach when there was a storm. There was lightning and something was floating in the water, it was a man." There was an audible gasp from everyone.

" I went in and flipped the guy over. It was Prince Zuko—" She couldn't get any further. Everyone was over come with laughter, none of them believing her as she had suspected they would. Amy stood silent as her friends continued laughing, her left eyebrow twitching irritably. (an/ My left eyebrow twitches whenever I'm irritable or angry. Liz and my boy friend thinks its hilarious….. I don't)

"No Way!." Stephanie said, shaking her head, "Amy you've lost your mind!"

Sydnee agreed whole heartedly, she was rolling on the floor, holding her sides as she convulsed with laughter, "You're more psycho then me!" She cracked.

"I'm telling the truth Dammit! Look! Prince Zuko you can come out now!" Amy yelled over the din.

The bedroom door opened and Zuko stepped out. There was immediate silence and Zuko looked around. There were six girls and one boy staring at him, slack jawed. Amy clapped her hands, snapping all of them out of their trance.

"Holy Shit! How'd you get here!" Brianna exclaimed. Her words seemed to loosen everyone elses tongues and everyone began talking at once. Exclamations and Questions thundered from them. Amy covered her ears, if they kept this up, the neighbors would call the cops because of the noise.

"QUIET!"

All eyes turned to her. She took her hands away from her ears and looked at them.

"Now…" She said calmly, "Now you know that I am not going insane. As you all know, this is Zuko. Zuko, this is Brianna, Liz, Courtney, Sarah, Stephanie and Garret. These are my friends."

"Hello, it is nice to meet you all." He said formally. Amy's friends seemed to remember their manners.

"Nice to meet you too." They said in almost perfect unison.

"Amy." Liz said, not peeling her gaze away from Zuko, it was like if she looked away he would suddenly disappear, "How did this happen?" That question was obviously on that everyone had been thinking.

Amy shrugged, "Dunno."

Zuko said the same thing, "I didn't even know that there is a different world."

"He's staying here for awhile." Amy announced, "Until we can find out where to keep him."

"Oh my God dude!" Sydnee exclaimed, "You are so lucky! My parent's won't even let me keep a gold fish in the house! Not even a guy! A fricken Prince of the Fire Nation! This so totally rocks!"

Garret stuck out his hand for Zuko to shake, "It's nice to meet you Prince Zuko! It's an honor." He said truthfully. Zuko shook his hand. Courtney looked him up and down, taking in the sight, "Ohhh Amy, " She whistled, " Can I borrow him?"

They all laughed at the look on Garrets face.

"Courtney," He whined, hugging her to him possessively, "Nooo!"

Courtney patted the top of her boy friend's head, "Kidding Garret."

Sarah bowed to the prince, "I've always wanted to meet you. This is sooo cool." Liz and the others agreed.

They all sat and ate snacks and drank cola's; talking about school and what it would be like tomorrow. They talked about everything. Amy's friends rejoiced when they heard that Zuko will be going to school with them tomorrow. They all promised to keep Zuko's origin a secret.

"What schedule do you have Zuko?" Brianna asked him.

"The same as Amy's."

Bri's and Liz's eyes went wide and they smiled, "You have Vet Med with us!"

"You have Geometry with us too! The three of us!" Sydnee pointed to Liz, Bri and herself.

"And lunch!" Sarah pointed out.

"And you have Biology with me and Amy dear." Courtney smiled evilly, "This is going to be fun in DB's class."

"DB?"

"Dragon Bitch…" Courtney said, "That is what we call Mrs. Bain. Once you meet her tomorrow you'll understand and why everyone is failing her class."
The girls groaned. By the time all the snacks were gone, Zuko got to know everyone. It was 7:42 pm.

Amy and Zuko said good-bye to everyone but not before Sydnee made a request that she was dying to ask all afternoon.

"Hey Zuko, Can you show me a firebending move?"

Zuko blew out a fireball from his mouth, the temperature around them rose.

"Coolness, Alrighty then I'll see you tomorrow." Sydnee pulled her dirt bike away from Amy's splintered mailbox. She turned to Garret and Courtney who were getting into Garrets red Dodge Truck.

"Dudes! Can I ride with you? I can't ride this thing home!" She shouted.

Garret nodded, "Sure. I'll put it in the back." He lifted the mangled dirt bike into the trunk. Sydnee hoped into the back after it.

"See ya dudes!" She waved at Amy and Zuko, 'See you at school!" She turned and pounded on the back window behind the passenger side, "Drive on Jeeves!"

The truck roared to life and they hydroplaned it out of the neighborhood.

"She does remind me of Uncle Iroh." Zuko said. Amy looked up at him.

"How?"
Zuko shook his head, heading back inside away from the rain, "They're both crazy."
