A/N: Yes, it is I…..er I forget who I am…….What's my name?

She heard footsteps behind her. She turned round to see the brunet running up to her and 'Zuko'. She grinned. Just like Megan to be here quickly. She'd probably driven like a maniac, despite her toddler, Jacob in the back. The little boy was toddling along beside his mother, trying desperately to keep up with her.
"Hi guys!" Ebony greeted the two.
"Hi," Megan replied, breathing hard.
"Hewo," Jacob piped up then began sucking his thumb.
"I know now's probably not a good time to ask but could you possibly baby sit tonight, Mick and I are going out," Megan asked her younger friend.
"Sure, I'm baby sitting Amy and Tom tonight, if you bring him round mine, I'll look after both of them," the black haired girl replied.
"So they're being dropped off at yours too?"
"Yeah, I need to get some stuff ready for next week so Domieque said she'd drop them round mine."
"Ah, it's Matt's birthday next week isn't it?"
"Yep."
A low moan from behind them reminded the two why they were there and they turned round. The boy had woken up. They rushed over to him.
"I'm Ebony, this is Megan what's your name?"
"Zuko," The boy replied. The girls glanced at each other before carrying on.
"Where does it hurt Zuko?" Megan asked him.
"My head hurts a bit," he muttered back.
"Ok, erm, do you mind coming back to mine? You should be fine there, but if I think anything's wrong, I can take you to the hospital ok?"
"Fine."
"Could you sit up? Slowly otherwise you'll feel dizzy," Megan said, almost like a doctor. Ebony thought she'd been watching Casualty and Holby City again. He didn't look too happy about being told what to do but did it any way. Unfortunately he came up too fast.
"Urg…I feel dizzy," He moaned.
"It was your fault!" Megan replied.
"It'll go away soon." Ebony added.
"Jacob! Come back now! No that's bad, come to mummy!" Megan suddenly shouted. The little boy had run over to the water's edge and had begun to walk into the dirty water of the pond. For once, the obedient Jacob carried on, ignoring his mother's warnings. Ebony rushed forward and grasped the now squirming child in her arms. She lifted him above her head and told him he was a naughty boy before spinning him around until he screamed. She placed him down on the floor. Zuko was now in a standing position and was rubbing his forehead. Jacob trotted over to his mother and clasped her hand.
"Come on Zuko, I'll drive you to mine." They walked to Ebony's car and Zuko hesitated, staring at the black beast with a lot of dents and scratches on its coat.
"What is it Zuko?" Ebony said, climbing into the driver's seat on the right hand side.
"What is it?" He asked nervously.
"It's a car, get in, it's perfectly safe!"
"So why has it got dents in it?"
"My brother used to race it before he got his new one. Then he passed this one on to me last month. We fixed the engine up together so it's really special. I don't drive that badly!" Reluctantly, Zuko climbed in next to her. "Seatbelt!" She told him. He dithered, looking round the car before she pointed out a long strip of a woven material. They drove out of the car park and down the road a little way before Zuko said:
"Where am I and why am I here?"
"I can tell you one thing. You're in Hampshire. There is something I have to tell you though."
"What?"
"I'm not sure but you look exactly like one of the characters from a television show. It could be the bump from your head but I don't think it is. Basically, you're not in you world any more." He gapped at her, unsure if he'd heard her correctly.
"Erm…girl…"
"Ebony, not 'girl'," she corrected him.
"Whatever, what's a television?"
"Good god, I'm gonna have to explain a lot to you aren't I?"
They arrived at Ebony's house. She pulled up in the drive way and after telling Zuko to press the red button to release his seatbelt, climbed out of the car and slammed the door as it didn't shut easily. Zuko followed suit and Ebony locked the car. She selected another key and walked up to the front door. She unlocked and opened it pushing against it with her hip as this too was a stiff door. She walked in and unlaced her shoes and placed them in the hall. Zuko followed her and took off his shoes. Something furry brushed against him. He looked down and saw a tiny creature at his feat.
"Don't you dare!" Ebony warned him before he burned the little kitten to a crisp. "Ok, that one there is Pickle and his little sister over there," She pointed to a tortoiseshell kitten, "is Opal. The big black and white one is their mum and she's called Onyx. And the fluffy black one is Poppy. They're my cats and if you hurt them so help you!" She said so fiercely Zuko was taken aback. "Time for a tour of the house." She said a little more brightly.
