DISCLAIMER: I don't own AVATAR!
Ok, here's the epilogue. I decided to hurry and post it soon enough so I don't forget it.
An Epilogue
"Mommy! Daddy! That was the bestest story ever!" The five-year-old Maiku said excitedly, bouncing on his father's knee.
"Kellie seems a lot like you, mommy!" Maiku said, looking up at his mother. She simply smiled. Maiku looked up at his father.
"Tell me the story again!" Zuko groaned.
"Maiku, I've been telling you the story five nights in a row! And mommy hasn't been happy with you staying up past your bedtime." Kellie smiled. Maiku made big puppy dog eyes.
"Ppllllleeeaaasseee?" Maiku begged. Kellie rolled her eyes, and then picked up her child and swung him around, Maiku squealed in enjoyment. But he whined when his feet returned to the ground. Then he turned to his father.
"Tell it again! Tell it again!" Maiku chanted. Kellie sighed.
"Maiku, how about tomorrow, Uncle Iroh tells you a story? He's got lots and lots of nice stories perfect for five-year-old Princes. Don't you Uncle Iroh?" Kellie asked, turned to face the old man. She chuckled when she saw the retired General sleeping and snoring in a chair. Maiku ran up to his great uncle and shook his knee.
"Uncle Iroh! Wake up, Uncle Iroh!" Iroh woke with a start. He looked down at his great nephew with a smile.
"Mommy says you have lots of nice stories for five year old Princes!" Maiku said eagerly. Iroh looked slyly up at his mother.
"Did she now?" Maiku nodded.
"Of course I have stories, Prince Maiku! But now is not the time for them. I will tell you one, tomorrow." Maiku 'awwed', and Iroh picked him up.
"Come along, Prince Maiku, I'm sure your parents want to go to bed." Kellie and Zuko blushed slightly.
"'Night mommy! 'Night daddy!" Maiku waved at his parents as Iroh carried him back to his room.
"You do realize that we will have to tell Maiku the truth eventually?" Zuko asked, glancing at his wife as they walked back to their room. Kellie sighed, intertwining her fingers with her husband's, and leaning her head on his shoulder.
"Yes. He will know," Kellie sighed.
"Eventually."
The End
Woo! Ok, now that this is done, I can move onto the sequel!
The sequel won't be posted for TWO WEEKS. I need sometime to work on it a little. You know, figure out chapter stuff. Plot, characters, the works. It'll be about when Maiku is thirteen, but I'm not giving out much more.
The title will be called Somebody's Baby based on the song by Pat Benatar.
See y'all in two weeks!
INSANITY AT ITS FINEST
LONG LIVE THE HIPPIES!
