Disclaimer: I don't own a car or my dog (technically) so how could you think I could own the Avatar? Which I don't! Anyways, on to the show! Just to let you know, my favorite characters are Zuko and Iroh (as you can tell), since the very, very beginning (like the southern air temple). To me, they are just more interesting characters and funny too.

Aang: Hey! I'm interesting!

Pilar: Yeah you're cool, but I watched and read a lot of young goody heroes that saves the day. And I'm just a little bored with it.

Katara: And what about Sokka and me! We get like, two lines. Sokka spoke a line more than I did.

Pilar: Shut up or I'll just kill you off the plot.

Zuko: Don't anger her, she's sick with a soar throat and she's tired.

Pilar: Thank you Zuko! Now why can't you guys be like Zuko? (Aang, Katara and Sokka start to protest) and now, on with the show!

Zuko was playing with his sister, Azula in one of the palace gardens. Zuko is six, and Azula is five. They were playing hide and seek, when Zuko found a huge oak fire tree, near a deep stream

Zuko went running to find his little sister,

"Azula! Azula!" Zuko called out.

"What is it big brother?" Azula asked with her innocent eyes jumping out of a huge vase, forgetting that they were playing hide and seek. "I got sometin to show you!" little Zuko said, and they walk together hand in hand towards they great big tree.

When Azula saw the tree, she gasped and her golden eyes widen. Zuko meanwhile was thinking of a brilliant (or really stupid plan).

Zuko's gaze fell on a branch nearing the stream. Then it came to him. Zuko walked up to the great big tree, and said to his little sister, "This could be fun! We could jump off the edge of the tree, into the water!" But his little sister eyes grew with worry.

"I don't know…" she dozed off.

"Don't you remember what father said?" Zuko asked. "He said, if you want to become a great bender, you have to let go of all fear, because fear will only make you weak." And Azula nodded, for she loved to please daddy.

So Zuko stripped his shirt off, and started climbing the tree, with his hands able to find little steps in the tree. He looked like a little monkey, of how he swung from branch to branch until he got to the one near the stream. The branch was very slippery, and Zuko was having trouble standing up.

Azula stayed on the ground watching her brother. She knew this was a bad idea, but she wanted to know how strong her brother was, for she wanted to be strong too. She saw him hesitate to go into the river.

"Hey Zuzu! Don tell me you afraid?" Azula yelled to Zuko.

"Hey! I'm not-" but Zuko didn't finish his sentence because he lost his balance. Zuko started to fall, but to him, it felt like it was in a slow motion. Zuko desperately tried to grasp any branch. He was able to grab one, but after 3 seconds, it broke and Zuko fell to the ground with a loud thump.

Pain seared through him, and Azula just stood there shocked.

"Azula! Get help!" Zuko whispered, and Azula ran crying. He didn't know how long it was, until Zuko saw Uncle Iroh.

"Prince Zuko! What happened?" Uncle Iroh asked worriedly.

"I fell, Uncle" Zuko said with more tears. His eyes were puffy, and red.

"How did you fall?" Iroh inquired as he inspected Zuko's leg.

"I wanted to jump into the river from that that bbranch" Zuko sniffled and pointed to the branch he fell from.

"Why do we fall, Prince Zuko?" Uncle Iroh asked, with a warm smile on his face.

"To get hurt," the hurt Prince replied.

"No, my dear boy! To learn to pick ourselves up!" Iroh said, as though it was the most obvious.

"My leg, I can't get up!" Zuko cried, especially over the fact that he couldn't get up.

"Then I will help you get up!" and Uncle Iroh swiftly picked little Zuko up, and placed him on his back (like a piggy back ride).

"What if I fall, and I can't get up again?" little Zuko asked, wiping his tears away.

"Do not worry, my nephew. I will always be there to help pick you up when you're down." Iroh cued.

"You promise?" Zuko asked with a smile forming.

"I promise!" Iroh exclaimed and Zuko started to laugh. "That's the spirit! Now, have I ever told you the story when I got a pen stuck in my ear when I was a child and you're father tried to get it out with a fishing hook?"

"No" Zuko laughed.

"Well I'll tell you, it all began when I was really bored…." And they both continued down toward the palace, with both of them smiling, and laughing. Zuko almost forgot the pain when he heard something.

"Zuko! ZUKO!"

Zuko woken up. It was just a memory in a dream. He was lying down, next to a fire. He tried to move, but his body was covered in bandages, not to mention pain. He put his hand to his head, and felt the bandages covering his head. Then it all came back to him. The crying baby, the village burning, the Avatar, the mysterious little kid… then suddenly it hit him.

"Where is he! Where is the boy? Is he all right?" Zuko asked all at once. But Iroh hushed him. "He is fine. You should be lucky you know, if the Avatar hadn't defeated Zhao and somehow conjured a huge storm cloud to put out all the fires, and insisted that you were taken care of… We could have lost you again."

Zuko took all of this in. He saved me? Again? Zuko looked around him. He saw the Avatar and his companions sleeping, and the little boy was sleeping next to the water bender, using the lemur as a pillow.

"I would suggest you to rest," Iroh suggested. Zuko glared at him. "A man needs his rest," and Zuko took it for consideration for once. He was tired, and burned. He was in no shape to take the Avatar on, and plus, it was not honorable to attack an opponent when they were sleeping.

Zuko nodded, and said, "Good night Uncle,"

"Good night my nephew,"

Zuko rolled over on his side. Thinking over in that memory, wishing he could go back in time, when life seemed so peaceful, and his mother, was still alive.

Pilar: ok, since Katara, and Sokka made me laugh in The Avatar Day, I'll let them do a little dialogue here. List the names.

Katara: Pilar is very happy that yummiesweeCAKES, Bakubear, storm-of-insanity and Lionessmon reviewed. She loves all of you, and wants to give you….cheese? (Pilar nods her head while holding big cards for Katara to read)

Sokka: you know in the beginning when you said, "Get on with the show," It's not a show, it's a story. If you can call it that!

Pilar: What did you say? One: it's an old saying and Two: You're DEAD! (Mysterious power starts bolting out of me and my eyes start to glow. Sokka runs away.)

Zuko: coward
