Me: (takes a deep breath) I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry for not updating! I got busy with school, and my dog died on March second. Plus I got an obsession with Tokyo Mew Mew when my friend got fansubs of it.

Zuko: You better be sorry!

Me: Zuko, shhhhh! I'm talking.

Zuko: Sorry! (leaves).

Me: I thought the second season was awesome! You should have seen me when I was watching it. I was screaming and jumping up and down. I thought the whole if you die in the Avatar state then the Avatar cycle will stop thingy was freaky.

Aang: I hope that doesn't happen to me!

Me: Don't worry, Aang the creators wont kill you……unless.

Aang: Unless what?

Me: Unless they got bored and wanted you to die.

Aang: NO!

Me: Just joking. (comforts him).

Ch9: Zuko's Father Pays a Little Visit

Zuko and Katara were about to go to their room, but Uncle comes running up. "Prince Zuko!"

Zuko and Katara turn around and look at him. "What his it Uncle?"

"Your father!"

"What about my father?"

"His boat is arriving."

"What? He's here already here?"

"Yes."

Zuko stands there for a second trying make his brain understand that his father almost here. "Uncle, go hide Katara so my father doesn't see her."

"Right." Uncle grabs Katara. "Come on." They both leave.

When they are gone, Zuko goes up to the lieutenant to give him orders. "Lieutenant."

"Yes, Prince Zuko?"

"Prepare for my father's arrival."

"Yes, sir!" He leaves.

Uncle comes up after putting Katara in Zuko's room. "Zuko, are you ready to see your father?"

"I think so." Zuko looks out to the ocean to clear his mind. He can't believe that his own father is coming to have a word him. He hasn't spoken with since the day of his banishment. "Uncle, did you hide Katara?"

"Yes."

"Good."

Uncle walks up to Zuko and puts his hand on his shoulder. "Be brave, Prince Zuko."

"Thanks, Uncle." Zuko leaves to go wait for his father in the dinning hall.

Lord Ozai's ship

"Servant!"

"Yes, Lord?"

"Are we ready to drop the anchor?"

"Yes, Lord!"

"Good." He gets up from his chair to get ready for his arrival. 'My son better have good news to tell me about the Avatar.'

Dinning hall

Zuko is sitting at the table drinking some tea. 'What should I tell my father? He'll hate me more when finds out that haven't capture the Avatar.' Zuko puts his teacup down on the table. He can't drink anymore because he's too nervous.

A solider comes in. "Sir?"

Zuko looks up. "What?"

"Your father is here."

"Tell him that I'm in the dinning hall."

"Yes, sir!" He leaves.

Zuko takes a deep breath. 'I have to be brave when he comes in.'

His father comes in. Zuko stands up and bows. "Hello, Prince Zuko." You can tell in his voice that he really hates his son.

"Hello, father."

His father looks at him for a second. It's been two years since he saw his son. "You still look the same." Ozai sits down. "You may sit."

Zuko obeys and sits. "Would you like some tea, father?"

"Yes I would." Zuko pours him a cup a tea and hands it to him. When he grabs the teacup from Zuko's hand, he says, "Where is your Uncle? I would like to see him."

"Would you like me to go get him?"

"Yes."

Zuko gets up and leaves to go find his uncle.

Hallway

"Uncle!"

Iroh comes up. "Yes, Prince Zuko?"

"My father wants a word with you too."

"He does?"

"Yes and where were you?"

"Checking to see if Katara was okay."

"Oh."

"Come on, we don't want to make your father wait." Zuko nods and they both head to the dinning hall.

When they come in, Iroh says, "Brother! It so good to see you!"

"Same here."

Zuko and Uncle both sit down at the table. Uncle sees some tea on the table and pours a cup of it for himself.

Iroh and Ozai have a little chat to see how they where doing, before Ozai starts talking to Zuko. When they are done talking, he looks at his son. "Now, Zuko let's get down to business."

"Yes, father."

"How is your hunt for the Avatar going?"

"Fine," Zuko lied. He can't tell his father that Avatar keeps getting away from him. His father will be very piss off at him if he knew.

His father takes a sip of his tea before continuing. "Really? Then why haven't you brought him back to me?"

"Well you see…." Zuko really doesn't want to make his father angry.

"Go on." He takes another sip of his tea.

"He….."

"He?"

"Gets away..."

"What to do mean he gets away?" He looks at his brother. When Iroh sends him a report every month, it always says that they haven't found the Avatar yet.

"He gets away at the last second when I captured him."

"I see. Iroh?"

"Yes?"

"How come every time I read your reports on my son, it says that he hasn't found the Avatar yet?" Ozai looks like he's about to lose is temper.

"Well I…." But before Iroh can finish is sentence, Ozai interrupts him.

"Why are you two ling to me?" Ozai doesn't let them answer. "Zuko! You better have a plan to capture the Avatar!"

"I do, father."

"Good." He takes a sip of his tea to cool down a bit. "I'm leaving." He gets up, but before he leaves he looks at Zuko. "I'm giving one more month to capture him. If you don't capture him I'm disowning you and you can never return the Fire Nation." He leaves.

Iroh gets up and was about to leave, but he turns and looks at his nephew. "Prince Zuko, You better take your plan into action before it's to late."

"I know, Uncle." Zuko can believe what his father just said to him. Those last words he told him can't leave his mind. "Uncle where is Katara?"

"In your room."

"I need to talk to her so don'tdisturb us." With that Zuko leaves to go to talk to Katara about his his past and put his plan into action.

Aang: So they won't kill me off?

Me: No silly because without you there would be no more episodes.

Aang: Okay.

Me: I hope enjoyed this chapter. Yes I know I'm evil for having his father saying he'll be disown, but I had to make it interesting. I should right a fic about his father disowning him. Would you guys read it? I'm going to update this weekend. Please review!
