In Zuko's dreams he was a true prince, brave and noble. He was naturally talented, capable of beating any opponent easily. He could have the pick of any woman he wanted, and his little sister was forced to acknowledge his strength. The Avatar was an old man, and after a tremendous battle that displayed all of Zuko's talents, was captured and brought back to a loving father.
The reality was that he was currently trapped in a block of ice, glaring down at a girl two years his junior whilst she told him to behave himself. She smirked at him in a way that made him long to crush her, before saying brightly.
"Ah, that's right, Aang told me how you kindly gave my necklace to him to return. I owe you a kiss for that." She grinned in an unholy manner, before blowing him a kiss. "So does Aang. I'm sure he'll be glad to give you the kiss I loaned him once he wakes up."
Zuko vowed that as soon as the sun rose he was going to set her on fire. He closed his eyes and grimaced as the puff of cold wet air Katara had sent his way hit his cheek.
"Ah, was that your first kiss?" She laughed, as if such a thing as a blown kiss counted! "I'm so sorry." She turned away, laughing, as the first rays of the sun hit Zuko's face.
Time to act.
