"ALL HAIL FIRE LORD ZUKO!"

I clapped along with everyone else. I thought to myself about days earlier, and the tiny little moment we had shared. Neither one of us had told anyone, at least as far as I'd known.

******************************************Zuko's POV

My coronation was tomorrow. My coronation. Such a strange thing, to be an exile for so long, then accepted, then an exile again, then being welcomed back as the Fire Lord.

But I had to tell someone what had happened, I had to tell someone about Katara. I couldn't tell Sokka, obviously. He'd have me killed. I couldn't tell Suki, she'd tell Sokka. Of course I couldn't tell Aang. And Agni knows I couldn't tell Uncle, he'd start going on about grandchildren. That leaves a pretty trustworthy .

"Sparky, what's on your mind." she said as she heard me approaching. "I've got to tell someone, about...something. And you seem to be the only person." i said, sitting down. "Whoa, calm down, your hearts about to explode." she said smacking my shoulder. I rubbed it absently. "I'm guessing this is about you and Sugarqueen." she said obviously. "How did you know about it?" I asked, shocked. "About what?" she asked. Ugh. "Um, after we defeated Azula... she healed me... and she...uh...kissed me." I said embarrased. "She, kissed you? Hm, I thought you were the bold one. Hm, sure thought you'd make the first move." she said disapointedly. "Hey! Not fair, I saved her life." i said defensively. She shrugged. "Yeah, lightning to the heart's quite romantic," she said picking her teeth. "Ugh!" I moaned and stormed off. "I'm glad we had this talk!" she yelled after me.
