Yellow

"Surprise!" Iroh cheers.

He's planned a surprise party for his overly-serious nephew and he's hoping it will draw the teen out of his apathetical shell. It's been a year since Mai died but Iroh can't help but think that Zuko was becomming more and more like her everyday. Prince Zuko looks around at all the decorations strewn all over the dining room. Yellow streamers are hanging off the walls and multi-colored balloons are on every table. He walks over to one of the balloons and pops it with a fork. Then he turns to the streamers.

"You know," he says to his disappointed uncle, "yellow is an awful color."

A/N: I'm sorry to all my dedicated readers that it has taken this long to get a new chapter out. I've just gotten my new computer because my old one crashed. I've been having to use my dad's work laptop and I'm not allowed to save anything on there. He's also needed it a rather lot so I haven't been able to use it much. Expect more updates for this story and my others. Once more sorry!
