Chapter 3. The Twins of Fire and Water

The brake of the dawn, Zuko slowly woke up and notices that Ty Lee was resting her head on his chest. He started to blush a bit as he stares at her. Zuko slowly moved Ty Lee's head on to a pillow. He got up and grabs his katana and then walks out of the room. Zuko was walking the down the hallway then notices that Jin was standing in front of her room. It was like she was waiting for him.

Zuko looked away as he passed by Jin and said, "Morning," he sounded nervous when he said it. All of a sudden Jin grabbed his hand. "Jin!?" Zuko was a little shocked when she grabbed it.

"I was thinking about what you said last night." Jin looked at him.

"I'm sorry" said Zuko as he looked down.

"It's ok I forgive you." Jin smiled a bit then she hugged him.

Zuko was shocked when Jin forgave him for what he did and a bit more shocked when she hugged him. "Jin" he then hugged her back. "I'm sorry Jin, but I have to meet with Nightmare." He pulled away from her and walked out the door. "I see you later, okay?"

Jin nodded and said, "Have fun."

Ty Lee slowly woke up from her sleep. She looked around and noticed that Zuko was gone. "…Zuko…" She was a little disappointed when she did not see him next to her when she woke up. Ty Lee grabbed Zuko's pillow and hugged it. "The pillow had his scent." she said as she sniffed his pillow with a smile on her face.

Jin opened the door and walked in the room with a tray of food. She noticed that Ty Lee was in the Zuko's bed. "Oh good morning," she said with a smile on her face. "So did you sleep well?" She placed the tray on the bed next to Ty Lee.

Ty Lee crawled toward the tray then looked at Jin. "Yea, I did." She smiled then looked at the food and amazed how well made it look. "Wow, they look good!"

"Aww…Thank you." said Jin as she smiled.

The two talked to each other as Ty Lee ate her breakfast. They mostly talk about Zuko and the things that they have in common that whole morning.

On the way to the temple, Zuko just remembered to name his red katana. He smacked his head with his palm. "Shit, I can't believe I forgot to name this sword!" He thought to himself as he walked closer to the temple. "What should I name it?" Zuko was thinking of different names for his red katana like Red Blade, Burning Dragon and many other names.

When he got to the temple, there was a maid waiting for him. She had short black hair wearing a long dark red robe, black pants flame like design on it, black boots, with a Water Tribe necklace around her neck, a red inner robe, and black gloves. The maid walked out to him and said, "Oh, Prince Zuko the master is out for the day, so I'm going to help you with your training."

Zuko was a little disappointed hearing he is not in, but this does give him more time to think of a name of his katana. "Okay, so where am I going to train at…umm…what is your name?" He said as he stared at the maid.

She giggled a bit. "Oh, my name is Rin." She smiled at the prince.

"Okay, Rin." said Zuko.

Rin pointed to the forest and said, "We'll be training at the river." She looked at him. "It is 5 miles into the forest."

"Okay let's get going." Zuko was about to take his first step until Rin grabbed his right wrist and stripped on 100-pound weights around his arm. Zuko right arm fell. "Hey what is this!?" He sounded mad when Rin tied 100-pound weights to his arm.

Rin stared at the prince and said, "Its Master's orders Prince Zuko." Then she pulled out three more 100-pound weights for Zuko's left arm, and his legs. She smiled as she held the weights. "Now hold still Prince Zuko."

"What!? No I won't put those on!" Zuko said to her then Rin start to walk to him with a smile on her first. Zuko shot a fireball at Rin, but she dodged them and then she pinned him to the ground. "Let me go right now!" Zuko tried to get out from her pin.

"Not until I put those on you." She leaned forward toward Zuko face causing him to blush and at the same time distracting him while she placed the other weights. "You're so cute when you blush." Rin looked into his eyes as she placed the last weight on his left arm.

Zuko was blushing then he noticed what Rin was doing to him, but the deed was already finished. Rin giggled a bit then she helped the prince up. Zuko can bearly lift up his arms, let alone walk. Rin smiled as she started walking away. Zuko sighed as he started to follow her to the river.

Ty Lee and Jin decided to have girl's day out. Jin just took Ty Lee to some of the best place in the island. They spent the whole morning trying on clothes, and talking to get to know each better. Then two headed to a tea house to have some nice warm tea.

"So he hates it when you called him Zuzu?" said Jin as she and Ty Lee took their seat outside of the tea house.

Ty Lee grabbed a menu and said, "No, he hated it when his sister called him that, but he doesn't mind if I call him that." She looked through the menu wondering what she will order.

Jin laughed a bit as she looked at the menu. "So is Zuko seeing someone?"

Ty Lee quickly answered her qustion, "Yes, her name is Mai." She feels uneasy about the subject, but she hides it by showing a fake smile.

"Oh." Jin sounded a bit disappointed hearing that Zuko has a girl, but she smiled a bit. "Tell me about her when I get back from getting our drinks okay?"

"Okay." said Ty Lee as her place the menu down.

Jin stood up from her chair, but before she goes to ask for the order, she looked Ty Lee and, "What kind of tea do you want?"

"Green tea place." said Ty Lee.

"Okay" Jin headed to the counter to order the drinks.

As Ty Lee waited for Jin to come back, she looked down at her lap. The wind was gently moving her bangs a bit as she thinks about Zuko and Mai. Ty Lee hated that fact that Mai is Zuko's girlfriend, and she could not do anything about it because she is her friend after all. Ty Lee wishes that she can tell Zuko how she feels about him, but she was afraid that he would overreact. Ty Lee sighed as she continued to wait for Jin.

Rin looked at the river, seeing the fishes swimming around and feeling the warm wind gently hiting her skin. "This is a good day for training right, Prince Zuko?" She smiled as she stared down at the prince.

Zuko was on the ground exhausted from jogging all the way to the river with weights stirpped to his arms and legs. There were some scratch marks on him from falling to many times, and there some leaves on his head as will some twigs on his clothing.

Rin bent over to see what wrong with him, "You okay, Prince Zuko?" with a confused look on her face.

"Do… I look …okay!?" Zuko sounded mad and exhausted. "Now get… these stupid weights off me … now!?" his breathing sounded heavy as he spoke.

Rin giggled a bit. "Okay, Prince Zuko." She smiled a bit as she was about to remove the weights until a female voice came out of no where.

"Rin leave the weights on him!" A girl who looked just like Rin walked out from the forest. She was wearing long dark blue robe, black pants water like design on it, black boots, and a Fire Nation necklace around her neck, blue inner robe, and black gloves.

Rin started to whine a bit. "But Rei he looks tired."

Rei sighed a bit then said, "I don't care and beside he is not done training, yet!" She sounded mad when she spoke.

Zuko slowly sat up then sat against a tree. He then stared at the girl as his breathing slowly returned back to normal. "Who are you?"

Rei looked at the prince as she placed her hand on her waist. "I'm Rei, Rin's twin sister and your trainer." Then she pointed to river poles. Each pole is a foot higher than the next one, there are fifteen poles in the river. "Now get on those poles right now!" She ordered him.

"What!?" Zuko was shocked from Rei's order as he stared at her then he glanced at the poles. "You got to be kidding?"

"Do I look like I'm kidding!?" said Rei.

"What if I fall from the pole and go stright down the river bottom and drown to death because of the weights I have on!?" Zuko yelled at her as he trying to prove a point.

"Umm…please stop fighting." Rin spoke to them as she beg them to stop fighting, but they ignored. "Please stop." Zuko and Rei were still yelling to each other. Rin was ingored again then she started to cry.

Rei heard Rin crying then she quickly went by her side. "Aww…its okay I'm okay now." She held Rin around her arms then she quickly looked at Zuko. "It is your fault that my sister is crying!" Rie yelled at him

Zuko was already mad from the weights and now he is getting blame for something he did not do. "How is this my fault!?" he yelled back to Rei

They were acting like children, Zuko was still yelling at Rei, Rei was yelling at him, and Rin was still crying as her twin sister held her. Animals started to flee to get away from the yelling and crying. Some of the birds carried their nest to move to another tree just to get away from them. You can hear them yelling from a few yards away.

Jin and Ty Lee were in the forest gathering some flowers for the Inn. Ty Lee noticed forest was too quiet, no sounds animals roaming around.

"Umm…Jin where are the animals?" said Ty Lee as she picked up some flowers.

Jin stopped what she was doing and started too looked around for a bit then said, "I don't know. Usually we hear birds chirping, and packs of Fox Antelope walking around or eating."

Ty Lee walked a bit deeper into the forest and then she started to hear yelling and crying. She then quickly ran towards the source of the yelling.

Jin noticed that Ty Lee was running then she started to follow her. "Ty Lee what wrong!?" Jin asked her wondering what is going on.

When they got to the river, they noticed that Zuko, Rei and Rin was causing all the noise they're making. Ty Lee and Jin walked up them wondering why they're arguing.

"Okay, what is going on!?" Jin asked them. Zuko can tell that she was upset.

Ty Lee looked at him and noticed the weights on him. "Zuko, why do you have weights tied to your arms and legs?"

An hour later after Zuko just got done explaining to Ty Lee and Jin why he was arguing with Rei, the group was seating in a circle and in the middle was fish on a stick rosting around the fire. Zuko was between Ty Lee, and Jin, Rei was seating between Rin and Jin. It was kinda quite, except the cracking of the flame.

Zuko looked at Ty Lee and said, "Can take the weights off of me?" Ty Lee smiled a bit as she nodded 'yes' and started to remove the weights.

Rei watched Ty Lee removing the weights from Zuko's arms and legs. "Why not do it yourself?" she said bluntly.

"I'm tired, okay." He yelled a little at Rei as Ty Lee just go done removing the weights.

"How can you be tired from walking around with weights tied to your arms and legs?" said Rie

Zuko sighed a bit then said, "I just am, okay?" he then grabbed a fish and started eating.

Rin yelled at them, "WILL YOU TWO STOP FIGHTING!" Zuko and Rei were shocked when Rin yelled at them. "Pleace?" she said it in a quite way.

Ty Lee yawned a bit then lean against Zuko shoulder. Zuko blushed a bit from Ty Lee's action. She saw him blushing and said, "Zuzu you're blushing again."

Zuko quickly looked away from Ty Lee. "I don't blush and don't call me Zuzu."

Rei laught a bit from hearing Zuko nick name. "Zuzu?" she said as she stared at him. "That's an odd nick name for you."

Zuko yelled at Rei, "THAT NOT MY NICK NAME!" Ty Lee kissed his cheek and he started to blush again. "Ty Lee, why did you kissed me!?"

Ty Lee blushed a bit as she smiled. "To see you blush."

"I don't blush." said Zuko.

Jin looked at the blushing prince. "Then why are your cheeks red?" She smiled

"They're not." Zuko said as he took a bite of his fish.

"Yes they are." Rin looked at him. "You're so cute when you blush. I just want to hug you to make you blush even more." said Rin.

"That's not a bad idea" said Ty Lee. Then she hugged Zuko.

"Hey, let me go!" Zuko blushed redder as Ty Lee huggedn him.

"I want to hug him too!" Jin hugged him.

"Make room for me!" Rei jumped them as she hugs Zuko.

"Get off of me right now!" Zuko was yelling at them as he held by Ty Lee, Jin, and Rin.

Rei sigh a bit as she grabbed a rost fish and started eating. She looked at them and sighed again.

Rin looked at her sister. "Come in join with us, Rei."

Rei stared at her and said, "No."

As Ty Lee, Jin, and Rin hugged Zuko, Rei stared at them and cannot help but to laugh as the sun slowly goes down.
