Ugh, I went to registration yesterday. Next Friday I will be in high school. I'll be a freshman. :( Anyone got a good nickname for Toph to call her? And Zuko? Please review and help me. :)

Zuko grabbed my shoulders and pulled me out of his grip. He put me next to him and we both got in fighting stances. He had fire on his hands.

"Scarface. Nice to see you again."

"Would you just stop calling him that?" I said through my teeth. He rubbed my arm. He looked like he was about to say something. I uncapped my water holder -thanks to Katara. I bended out like a ribbon. I held it in the air and moved it around.

"You never answered my question." He stated.

"You are in no position to be negotiating." I said and looked at Zuko.

"I snap my fingers and guards will be here." He added.

"You don't think I know that? It must be because you are too scared to fight me yourse-" That was all he got out because I knocked his feet out from under him and he fell on the ground. When he got up I froze the water on his feet. "I can bend out of this." I smiled.

"Not if it is covered in rock." I closed my eyes. I concentrated on the rock. I opened them and the rock slid over the ice all the way up to his neck. He struggled against it but I made it tighter.

"How did you…"

"No. I will ask the questions." Zuko just looked at me. His fire disappeared. "Why are you working for Ozai?"

"I can't tell you." He whispered.

"Why?" I said louder.

"Because they took my sister." He looked down.

"I don't believe you. Why should I?" Zuko put a hand on my shoulder.

"Lulu." I sighed.

"Fine. Let's say I believe you. Why don't you just break your sister out?"

"There are too many guards. Please let me go. If I don't come back soon they will kill her." I took a deep breath. I looked deep into his sad eyes. I pulled the rock off of him and he disappeared into the darkness. "Thank you." I heard a whisper.

Zuko wrapped his arms around my waist. I turned around to face him.

"I know it was stupid and irresponsible but I think he was telling the truth." He nodded.

"It was. But I trust your judgment and if you can forgive him and let him go, then I can too." I kissed him.

"I never said I forgave him." He smiled. he shook his head and we walked back towards the place.

Short chapter. Sorry. The next one will be long and have a lot more Zack. For all you Zack fans, *cough* only Molly *cough*

Who thinks Zack is lying? Everyone? No one? Anyways, don't forget to come up with a nickname if you can please.
