Chapter Two
Disclaimer: Omg I don't own avatah.
She was to be let off at the next port which was two or three weeks away.While Zuko was off throwing a fit; Chan was invited to join them in music night. She accepted greatfully.
While Abu sat with Iroh; Chan waited for her turn. Three or four crew members went first; and then Chan. She told them of what her origonal homeland was like.
"Oh I come from a land, from a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where they cut off your ear If they don't like your face
It's barbaric, but hey, it's home
When the wind's from the east And the sun's from the west
And the sand in the glass is right
Come on down Stop on by Hop a carpet and fly
To another Arabian night
Arabian nights Like Arabian days
More often than not Are hotter than hot
In a lot of good ways
Arabian nights 'Neath Arabian moons
A fool off his guard Could fall and fall hard
Out there on the dunes " Everyone clapped; even if the song was quite depressing. The fire pit made the effect of the song much better; it gave it a mystic atmosphere and the story intrest.
Chan was allowed a room to stay in untill they reached the port. While in there; Iroh went to talk with Zuko.
"What is it uncle?" Zuko was writing in..what some would call it a captains log. I call it his journal. He closed it to lison to his uncle.
"Zuko; I really think we should allow Chan to stay."
"Who?"
"That girl we-I allowed on the ship. Zuko if she has to steal; she must be very poor. That girl is skinny as a rail! we've got to give her a home! I'm sure she'll offer her servises to you."
"What servises? All she can do is steal and I don't want a theif on my ship!" He snapped at his uncle.
"She could be your right hand woman! Zuko; she could swear her loyalty to you! whatever you wish!" Iroh was hopeing that he was persuading his nephew; but Zuko shook his head.
"How can we trust her uncle? she is a criminal!"
"Zuko; she isn't bad. She isn't a criminal! I bet that if you and I were going hungry you'd do the same she is doing." Zuko was quiet. His uncle was right; he would do exactly the same thing.
"Go away."
"Consider it Zuko; the girl needs a home." Iroh then walked out the door; and hoped his nephew was considering it.
Zuko walked onto the deck the next morning; just as the sun was waking. He saw Chan with Abu on deck; just stairing at the sea. She was talking to her monkey.
"I wounder if we'll find a home in our new island Abu; our other one wasn't great but it was an umbrella when it rained. I hope they have a market place; where will we do all our looting for food?" Zuko growled.
"It won't matter." He spoke up. "I'm giving you a chance to stay on my ship. But you must be my right hand woman. Understand? No robbing me." Chan blinked and looked at Abu; she smiled and pouted.
"Aww. But your so pretty! I love robbing pretty people!" Abu laughed; but it wasn't really that funny. "OK, but seriously, I'll tell you; if you agree to something." Zuko nodded. "You have to be my friend." Zuko rose an eyebrow; and nodded; she was his right hand after all; might as well. "Well Prince Zuko had them forty thieves
Scheherezad-ie had a thousand tales
But master you in luck 'cause up your sleeves
You got a brand of magic never fails
You got some power in your corner now
Some heavy ammunition in your camp
You got some punch, pizazz, yahoo and how See all you gotta do is tell me. And I'll say." She stopped to build dramatic tension. "Mister Zuko, sir What will your pleasure be?
Let me take your order
Jot it down
You ain't never had a friend like me
No no no
Life is your restaurant
And I'm your maitre d'
C'mon whisper what it is you want
You ain't never had a friend like me.
Yes sir, I pride myself on service
You're the boss
The king, the shah
Say what you wish It's yours!
True dish How about a little more Baklava?
Have some of column "A"
Try all of column "B"
I'm in the mood to help you
You ain't never had a friend like me!" Zuko rose an eyebrow; and is kind of irritated at the author for makeing this a song fic. He blinked a couple of times before she continued. "So doncha sit there slack jawed, buggy eyed
I'm here to answer all your midday prayers
You got me bona fide, certified
You got a right hand woman for your charge d'affaires
I got a powerful urge to help you out So what-cha wish?
I really wanna know You got a list that's three miles long,
no doubt Well, all you gotta do is say so- and oh
Mister Zuko, sir, have a wish or two or three
I'm on the job, you big nabob
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend
You ain't never had a friend like me You ain't never had a friend like me, hah!" Zuko blinked and sighed.
"You got the job. The room you are currently staying in will be yours perminitly and try to find something else to wear." Seemed like a strange first order.
"Is that an order sir?" He turned and sighed.
"Yes. That is an order." She saluted him and went to find something else to wear. Something that'll match everyone else.
Sorry I couldn't run it through spell check! omg. Both the songs so far are from ALADDIN:D weee!
