I still don't own LoK or it's characters! *sad face* I wish I had General Iroh for my own! *pouts before perking up slightly* I guess that's what fanfics are for... *sighs dejectedly*

"Oh," Kailee gasped as she looked at herself in the dusty mirror before her.

It was strange, but for some strange reason she didn't feel as though red were her color primarily. No, it was blue just like the waterbenders, but she just wished that she could know why. What was extremely odd was that she could have sworn that she saw herself in the mirror with water tribe colors on in the traditional style of Republic City's clothes.

"Do you like it?" Iroh asked curiously as she walked back down the stairs before doing a double take.

She wasn't just beautiful like he'd thought, she was stunning. He could feel the slight constricting over his chest, and a slight pulling behind his navel, both signs that his grandmother Mai would always talk about whenever she was looking back on when she'd fallen in love with Zuko. But Zuko never spoke of the times that he fell in love much, it was more of her throwing water on the flames that were his bad temper for the most part. Which was one plus that Iroh had also noticed that was occurring between him and Kailee, only instead of it just being her temper it was her hyperactivity as well.

"The ring that was in the dress, how did you get it? Please tell me you didn't steal it," Kailee said stepping closer to him. "Lee?"

"No, I didn't steal it," Iroh said taken aback. "I bought it."

"What? Why on earth would you buy a…? oh," Kailee said heatedly before realizing what he was trying to get through to her.

"You're probably thinking what I think you are," he said calmly walking to stand in front of her. "But just to make sure… will you marry me?"

"What?!" she asked appalled at his question. "But-but I'm not a bender! I can't remember anything from before I was ten! I get massive migraines if I try, and I'm terrified of benders, even the Avatar! I keep sleepwalking because of nightmares to the point where you've had to wake up almost every single night in order to keep me from getting killed, so why on earth would you ask that? How could you ask that?"

"None of that matters to me. It's a part of who we both are. I'm not a bender, and all I know about myself is from what you've told me. I don't care that I have to save you every night, that's not your fault at all, it's out of your control. It scares me, I won't deny, but I'd rather have to rescue you from nightmares than from a depression or suicidal thoughts. As to why… well, I'm in the same position as you are in the bending, memories, and migraines arenas, and so far the only one to put up with them."

"So what you're saying is that we're both so badly beaten and bruised that we probably won't get married outside each other?" she asked heatedly.

"No, no, I'm saying that what better way to keep each other safe than through marriage? Think about it, there is always going to be someone who will take advantage of your being single combined with amnesia to get what they want from us. If we're together and not single, then that will cut the threat pool by at least forty percent," Iroh said using battle and defensive tactics to back his claims. "Besides that, we both are going to go to Republic City, we've spent a month together sleeping in the same bed for warmth, and we are both searching for our families. Why not do it all together? Once we find one of our two families we can find the other with their help."

"So you're saying safety in numbers and we may as well do everything together," she verified, and he smiled sheepishly.

"something along those lines, yes," he said blushing slightly, and she sighed.

"to be honest, neither of us is getting any younger, we may as well settle down and start a family," she admitted. "Alright, I'm in."

Iroh's entire countenance seemed to light up as if he were the sun he was so happy in that moment. He slid the ring onto her finger and smiled as he put his head near hers to kiss her. as it was with every time that the two went to kiss, they were interrupted.

"You two Lee and Ikari?" an earthbender asked, and Iroh nodded with a frown. "Delivery."

There were two packages, and Iroh nodded and thanked the deliveryman, who walked off calmly down the road to the next destination. Iroh knew that whatever it was, it probably wasn't friendly at all. He tied a string to it and placed it in the middle of the large dance area that the building had. It didn't take long for him to pull the string once Kailee was safely behind him, and the first of the two presents was ripped open to reveal just what he suspected: a bomb.

It was about to explode, but for some odd reason it didn't. Iroh didn't move an inch, but it was a new messenger hawk that flew in and landed on the explosives that caused it to explode. The General flinched and covered his eyes at the heat intensity of the flame. But since there wasn't much to burn except for the bird and dust itself, the explosive was made null and void.

"That's what I call Earth Kingdom Barbeque!" Kailee giggled, and Iroh couldn't withhold the smile and shake his head fondly at her antics. He couldn't help just how much his fiancée was rubbing off on him.

The second package wasn't a bomb, but was a message from the Avatar, and contained what Kailee vaguely recognized as a crown of some sort. Iroh didn't recognize it at all, and simply stared at it in confusion. Kailee stared at it as well until she finally realized that Iroh had no idea what it was. She then sighed and explained what it was to him, at which point his eyes widened and he shook his head defiantly.

"There's no way I'm a crown prince," he said gravely putting the traditional ornament back in the package and leaving it hidden in one of the nooks near the entrance of the building. "There is no way that I am one. I would remember that little snippet of my life at least. You don't just forget living in a palace with more than a hundred or so servants waiting on your every need at all hours of the day or night."

He straightened up and blinked as a very faint memory of Fire Lord Zuko filled his vision while he stared at a painting of his grandfather when he was merely a father and not a grandfather yet. But as he looked at the portrait, the scarred Fire Lord became older, and the young boy in the picture grew to be Fire Lord, with someone that Iroh could see was young and hearty at his side. But for the life of him, he couldn't put his finger on how he knew the boy, even though he felt like he knew the boy well once.

But Kailee now saw what he was looking at, and what he was unable to see. She was able to see that he was not only the missing General of the United Forces, but also the missing crown prince of the Fire Nation.

Heehee, she remembers! I know, I know, some of this chapter was just pure fluff, but I kind of needed it so that the show could go on...
