[Bang bang bang! Open up, Zuko! Toph's gonna keep banging on your door until you answer!]

[Zuko opens his mouth to snap a retort and snaps his mouth shut immediately, gritting his teeth so hard it's no surprise that he's grinding them. And then he slowly narrows his eyes.]

... You were there. That day in the Training Center.

[a beat.]

Was... wait- WAS THAT YOUR DOING?!

1/2

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

Of course I was there in the Training Center-

2/2

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

...oh man.

Well, if was for your own good!

[pyromatics.livejournal.com]

HOW was that for my own good!?

[Pinches the bridge of his nose. His feelings and issues aren't something he wants to talk about, not with this young bender anyways. Now he knows how his uncle feels..............]

If you haven't noticed, we're two people destined to be enemies for life. It's in our blood, our fathers and forefathers fighting each other in the war...

Uh besides that, she's water, I'm fire. She rises with the moon, and I rise with the sun.

It would never work out.

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

Whoa, hold it. I don't need a history lesson, Sparky. Don't get all melodramatic with me.

Ever heard of opposites attract? 'Cause that's what's totally happening. I saw it back home, and I'm seeing it here.

[Pinching just a bit harder.]

I'm just trying to tell you! It won't ever wor- hold on, what?

[Hand falls away and he straightens up, brows lifting.]

What happened back home? You're not... uh, you're not actually saying...

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

I've got four words for you.

[She pauses for effect.]

Life changing field trip.

[pyromatics.livejournal.com]

Uh. Life changing... field trip?

And that's supposed to mean what exactly?

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

Yeah. You took her off somewhere, and she came back a better person. Life changing field trip.

You took Sokka on one too, but mine was kind of lame, to be honest. I think Sugar Queen got the better deal.

Anyways, you're distracting me from the subject at hand! She'll like chocolate, so get her some.

[pyromatics.livejournal.com]

[Distractedly:] Chocolate... sure.

[Too focused on this newly revealed information, thinking on it real hard.]

So you're telling me I just went off somewhere with Katara and when I brought her back... she was a "better person"? Uh. How does that even work? I took you all out on these field trips?

Where in Agni's name did I take you? To Ember Island?

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

We were already on Ember Island. We were going to look for Aang.

Well.. I kind of volunteered myself. But you didn't mind. You helped Sokka get Suki back, and the thing with Katara...

And good chocolate. Not the cheap kind.

[pyromatics.livejournal.com]

... What thing with Katara?

[pyromatics.livejournal.com]

And why is it so important for me to get Katara chocolate anyways?

What if she doesn't even like chocolate?

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

The field trip! Sheesh. I don't remember what you took her to do.

All girls like chocolate, from what I hear. I don't think Katara would be an exception, considering she's such a... girl and all that.

[pyromatics.livejournal.com]

... Really? [Deadpan look and tone.] I hadn't noticed...

[snotbending.livejournal.com]

Well, you should notice harder. Otherwise some other guy is going to snatch her up.

[She's not gonna say who.]

[pyromatics.livejournal.com]

[CLEARLY she misunderstood his sarcasm. He's known all along that she was a girl, it was a little hard NOT to notice those things.]

What? Who? How do you even know this...?
