After a wonderful nights sleep due to the princesses kind words I am determined to be the man my finance needs. It is here when I realize that I don't know her name!!
"What type of person am I?!?" I scream at no one.
After my mini tantrum I hear a light knock at the door. "Come in." I order to the bothersome sound. But it was not an annoying servant at all but my beautiful finance carrying a tray of all my favorite breakfast foods. I instantly feel sick to my stomach when I realize she must of heard my little outbreak.
Instead of accepting the food right away I abruptly ask, "What is your name?"
She looks at me with shock and faintest hint of gladness. "It's Yue." she responds with a smile.
"Well... Yue. You have a beautiful name ...and face" I awkwardly stutter.
Instead of her blushing and making fun of me in her like like I expected she giggles and runs over to me on my bed, tackles me and gives me a kisses on my cheeks. After this she whispers in my ear, "Thank you. And I was wondering... What's yours"
After this act of direct forwardness I was still in shock but I manage to stutter, "Uhhhh my name's... Zuko."
"Well Zuko, Azara and I didn't spend 2 hours making you breakfast so you could lay in bed and look at!" Yue exclaimed. She gets up and runs over to the cart and drags it over so I could get a better look.
As I look in my eyes double in size as I see all my favorite breakfast foods including but not limited to: flame grilled eggs over easy with fireflakes, a hippo cow steak(medium well) and a glass of apple juice! "How did you know!?!"
"Well I had some help from Azara! She knows alot about you!" Yue exclaims.
"What did you say?" I ask. I was really trying to listen but my steak just smelled so good so I got a little bit distracted.
"How long have you known Azara?' she asks again slightly exasperated.
"Well...ummm...like since I was 7. So like five years." I respond with question.
"Well, I hope you appreciate her as much as you should. But now what I really want more than that is to get to know you better." She exclaims.
"How?" I ask with a large portion of eggs still in my mouth.
"Weeelllllll..... How about you tell me your favorite color and we will go from there?"
"Alright." I swallowed the large helping, "Well, my favorite color is orange. And I know you probably thought it would be red but..." I start to touch my face unconciously and truthfully don't realize I am doing it until Yue sits on my bed next to me and grabs my large pale hand and holds it with both her soft dark tan ones and nods her head pushing me to continue.
I take a deep breath and continue. "Red reminds me of..." I feel a tear form in my eye. "It reminds me that... my family has spilled so much blood and... I have been doomed to do the same!" I yell while now full on crying. I put my head down feeling ashamed that I let Yue see me cry.
All of a sudden I feel cool hands touch my chin and tilt it upward. My princess then lightly places her lips on mine for a split second before she looks me right in the eye and tells me, "You are not your father."
