Well, I think as a Zutarian it's my duty to write this, I have no idea if this has been done in other drabbles or not so I'm sorry if you have, but I have to do this. XD I love this one, alot. xD

Zuko was just not a lucky person. He knew that.

But he realized, and was positive, that he had no luck at all when he saw those darn pirates.

With their golden tooth grins, and dirty hands, they surrounded him, and only chuckled when he got into his battle stance. Glancing from side to side, he wasn't ready to think about the advantages they had against him.

Like the fact there was so many of them.

And he was all alone in some forsaken woods he was really hating.

Now he really wished the group hadn't drafted him to be the one who hunts the food this morning.

Like, really.

The Captain stepped forward, hands on his sword belt and smirking widely at the exiled prince. Zuko watched as the feather on his head bounced when he walked, and the fresh food he had found was somewhere thrown on the ground from when they sneaked up on him.

Man, Sokka was going to kill him for that.

Zuko quickly changed the subject in his mind to how, they, were going to kill him.

"You've got a bounty on your head, ex-Prince Zuko. And we happen to like the price."

Zuko didn't move.

"Princess Azula will be glad to know we've 'gotcha."

Zuko winced.

The fire bender heard some strange, 'arrrghs' in the behind him,but he paid no attention to that. All that mattered right now was staying alive and not getting captured or his fate with Azula will be the death of him. Literally. Cracking his knuckle he watched carefully as the pirate Captain stepped forward pulling out his sword.

Darn.

Where was his own swords when he needed them?

Suddenly a flash of blue struck the Captain in the side, making the pirate fly forward in the dirt with a pool water slowly freezing him in place.

He turned to run.

Except a certain person from camp just had to be standing behind him, knocking (or more like freezing) some more of the filthy crew into the river. Their voice, and possible mocking, stopped him dead in his tracks.

"I'll save you from the pirates."

Execpt a certain person from camp just had to be standing behind him. Their voice, and possible mocking, stopped him dead in his tracks.

Zuko smirked when he saw the blur of blue that was standing in front of him, with the biggest smile (or smirk) that he could possibly imagine.

"Show off."

The water bender created a wave to send a few of the pirates under the water, while she turned her head to see Zuko punching forward balls of fire to knock out the rest of the crew. He turned his own head, a question ready to ask on the tip of his tongue.

"Katara?"

He neared her, jumping over a screaming pirates which seemed terrified of all the flying and freezing water from the river. Katara quickly shut him up by sending him flying into the river. Holding up a hand so that he couldn't speak, she paused a moment from her bending.

"No. Zuko, I'm not tying you a tree, so don't even ask."

Zuko cursed his luck. Again.
