Sorry, guys, if this is a big and boring chapter!

When she felt someone touching the elbow of her right arm, she opened her eyes and looked up. It was Zuko. He had a soft smile covering his grumpiness. She smiled at him as well, as he slipped his hand cupping her left cheek.
"I fear it's time to wake up, my..." Zuko tried to say searching for a sweet nickname "...cupcake,"
Iris rolled her eyes "Really? Is that the best nickname you could think of right now?" she asked raising an eyebrow.
"You think 'Flamehead' is better?!" Zuko asked irritated.
Iris shrugged still smiling at him. She had kind of missed his temper. "It suits you,"
"I can't believe you... you can be so infuriating sometimes, you drive me crazy-" Zuko tried to say but she schussed him kissing him softly and briefly.
She could feel him relaxing from his temper and allowing himself lost in the kiss. When she pulled back she smirked "But you still love me, don't you?" she asked playfully noticing how close they were.
"How can I not?" Zuko asked kissing her again, fiercely.
A kiss that went deeper, and deeper. She slipped her hands towards his neck and she settled her legs around his waist. As she tried to push back, she bit his bottom lip tenderly rewarded by a lustful growl. It wasn't enough, he wanted more. Zuko leaned closer to kiss her again but he was cut off when the door of their room opened.
"Are you two ready for-?" Iroh tried to ask but he stopped when he saw them both that close. The old man smiled, he had seen this coming and he hoped they'd end up together some day. "I shall give you two a few more minutes, the tea shop hasn't opened yet," he said awkwardly and he walked out of the room.
Iris and Zuko stared back at each other for a moment, eyes wide in surprise. They both didn't expect Iroh to just barge in out of nowhere.
"I should get dressed," Iris said.
Zuko nodded "Yeah," biting his lip and giving her a quick kiss. "I'll wait outside," he said awkwardly, yet still unable to take his eyes off of her.
"You can stay, I have no problem," Iris said shrugging.
"No, if I stay... we probably won't make it to the tea shop today," Zuko said waking up and walking out of the room.
When he closed the door, she found herself smiling widely, like an idiot. She felt so happy that she had finally spoken of her feelings to him and how great their relationship worked. Iris stopped smiling when she thought of her brother.
What would Aang think about this?
Oh, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit...!

"We found a printer to make our posters!" Katara said as she and Aang barged in the house.
"Hey, I thought 'designing the lost Appa poster' was my job, I've been working all day on my Appa," Sokka said showing them one of the drawings.
Katara couldn't stop herself from laughing while Aang face-palmed his forehead "Sokka, the arrow is on Appa's head!" Aang said.
"This IS his head?!" Sokka exclaimed pointing on the bad drawing of Appa.
"Why are feet coming out of it?" Katara said grabbing one of them.
Sokka wrapped the drawing back protesting "Those are his horns, I haven't seen him in awhile, okay?"
