As soon as you landed at the Western Air Temple, everyone got off in a somber mood. But you were looking around and reaching out with your own bending to see exactly what Zuko was planning to do. He wasn't quite in range yet, so you sat down and relaxed.

"What are you looking for, YN?" Katara asked. "Is someone following us?"

"I don't know... I just ain't ever been to a place like this." You covered up what you were doing.

"Yeah, it's pretty cool. We've been to a few air temples though." Sokka bragged. "So it's not a big deal to us anymore."

"I think it's still spectacular." Aang piped up, although he was still upset with the day.

Dusk was beginning to fall, and so the whole crew began nighttime preparations. Aang went to fill the water, Sokka went to find food, Katara prepared what food was left and Toph staked out the area for good places to sleep. You, on the other hand, had readily offered to find firewood.

However, that wasn't the only thing you were looking for. Within the hour, another heartbeat came into your range. The one and only, Prince of the Fire Nation. And you had some choice words for him. As you came upon his hiding spot in the woods, you stopped to listen to what he was saying.

"Hello. Zuko here. But I guess you probably already know me. Sort of... Uh so, the thing is... I have a lot of Firebending experience, and I'm considered to be pretty good at it. Well, you've seen me, you, know, when I was attacking your... Uh, yeah, I guess I should apologize for that... Bu-But anyway, I'm good now. I mean, I thought I was good before, but now I realize I was bad... But anyway... I think it's time I joined your group and taught the Avatar Firebending."

You were hard-pressed to stop laughing from the sight of him practicing on a rabbit-frog.

"Well, what's your answer?!" He asked the creature abruptly. Instead of answering however, it simply croaked and bounded away.

"Yeah, that's what I'd say, too..." He sat down, rejected. "How am I supposed to convince these people I'm on their side? What would Uncle do?..."

Suddenly he stood up and pretended to stroke his beard. In his best Iroh voice, he spoke.

"Zuko, you have to look within yourself to save yourself from your other self. Only then will your true self reveal itself." He sighed heavily, dissatisfied. "Even when I'm talking for him, I can't figure out what he means. What would Azula do?..."

Next came his best Azula impression.

"Listen, Avatar, I can join your group or I can do something unspeakably horrible to you and your friends. Your choice." He groaned and gave it one more go.

"Look, ya ain't gonna git no where if ya don't even give it a darn try!"

You were silently cracking up. Now was the time to introduce yourself, now that you were in a slightly better mood.

"I guess I'm not that good at impersonations..." He held his head in his hands.

"Well I think ya did pretty well, Zuko." You stood in front of him with your hands on your hips.

AN: I didn't even notice that we had made it to fifty chapters! I want to thank all the readers, voters and commentors for sticking with the story, even when updates got slow. I hope I can continue to satisfy everyone :)

Also, who else is ready for them to finally reunite? I mean, twenty chapters with absolutely no contact between the main romantic partner?! What is that?! Who let me do that? :P
