Thank you for all the reviews, oh and kml9876, Zuko didn't notice she had blue eyes because it was dark out!
I woke up to Zuko yelling for us to get up. I stepped outside my room and saw tons of men walking through the hallways. I followed them and eventually got to a set of doors. I walked through them and saw tons of people eating food. I walked over to where they were serving food and was given like everyone else a stale biscuit and a burnt fish. I walked over to a table with a group of guys who were waving to me.
"Hey Lee!" said Raph. "Sit down." I sat down and started eating the fish getting the worse part over with. Besides being burnt, old and full of small bones which got very annoying, the fish wasn't that bad. I then started eating the biscuit and looked up to see everyone looking at me.
"What?" I said swallowing the biscuit.
"It's just…" Raph began to say.
"It's just your acting really strange." Town blurted out. "Yesterday you forgot where your room was and you've had the same room for TWO years."
"What." said Raph. "Did that waterbender knock the memory out of you?" The men started laughing and Town slapped me in the back which hurt pretty bad. I joined in with them trying to fit in. I got up and was about to walk off when a guy grabbed my hand.
"Hey were ya' going?" he said looking at me.
"To my room." I said deepening my voice. I started walking off,went to "my" room and sat down looking around. I took out the journal and started reading it. I suddenly felt a bit guilty. I read that he wanted to go home to his family and that he missed his parents. He wrote about a girl from the fire nation that he liked and that when he got back he was going to tell her. I snapped myself out of it and told myself that it was all meant to be. I hid the journal just as Town burst through the door. "What?" I said a little surprised by his entrance.
"Prince Zuko is assigning jobs." he said. "If you get their last you get left with the worse job, remember."
"Oh yeah." I said lying. I rushed off with him but unfortunately he was a faster runner and got their before me. I came outside, on the deck, and saw that everyone was already doing their jobs.
"Your late." said Zuko surprising me a bit.
"Huh." I said spinning around.
"Your late." he said as he started to walk over to me. "Again."
"What's my job?" I asked hesitantly.
"Your coming shopping with me and my uncle." he said as he walked into a hallway. I stood their waiting for Zuko and his uncle to show up and finally they came. "Come on uncle, lets get this over with."
"Okay." he said looking at me.
"Hey, do you know where those two water peasants are?" Zuko asked me. "I don't want them getting in the way of me bringing the Avatar home."
"No." I lied deepening my voice. We walked around and after a while I could barely hold up the supplies.
"You know what this place reminds me of?" he said looking around the market.
"What?" I asked.
"The market where the water peasantstole that scroll." he said. "I wonder if she got that scroll back?" he said.
If he remembered the scroll than did he also remember…the interrogation?
"I know she got her mother's precious little necklace back." he said tauntingly. I was getting so mad and felt like any second I would explode and blow my cover. I was so mad if I were a firebender the boxes I was holding would've been ashes by now. I felt like just smacking him right across the face. I just took a deep breath though and told myself to do it for Aang. I breathed out still furious. Finally, after a few hours of walking and listening to Zuko insult me we got back to the ship.
"Men!" he yelled to some of the soldiers. "Take these boxes to the right room!"
"Where should I put this?" I asked deepening my voice.
"That would be my tea." Iroh said. He took the box and walked off with it.
"I think I'll be heading back to my room." I said to Zuko.
"Okay." he said.
