X: Tea

"I FEEL LIKE EVERYTHING AROUND ME IS TURNING INTO TEA."

Cheyenne's POV:
Zuko and I were walking around the city. Iroh was looking around the shops, so he came to us with the things he had bought. Iroh caught up to us and walked next to me. I looked at him and saw that he had a flower pot.

Zuko side-eyed him and stared before saying anything. "I just want our new place to look nice. I bet Cheyenne loves the idea, right?" I nodded quietly as Zuko began to complain. "This city is a prison." I rolled my eyes. "Wow, thanks for the positivity. We appreciate it."

"I don't want to make a life here." He added. "Life happens wherever you are, whether you make it or not. Now come on, I found some new jobs, and we start this afternoon." I turned my head as I felt we were being followed.

I saw no one but still felt some creep staring at me. "Are you okay?" Asked Zuko concerned since I had stopped walking. "Yeah, it's just that I thought I saw something." We then kept walking until we got to the place where Iroh had found us jobs.

It was obviously a tea shop. I don't know what else I was expecting. Zuko complained under his breath as the guy gave us our aprons. Zuko struggled to tie his, so I helped him. He was still complaining. Iroh just could not because it was not his size.

"Well, you certainly look like official tea servers. How do you feel?" I looked at Zuko as he answered. "Ridiculous." I rolled my eyes as I answered. "Aprons don't really suit me, but I like it."

"Uh... Does this probably come in a larger size?" The nice man shook his head. "But I have an extra string in the back. Have some tea while you wait." Iroh drank the tea, and I decided to see his reaction before drinking.

"Eugh." Oh wow. It must be bad. Really bad. "This tea is nothing more than hot tea juice!" I snorted at his reaction while I left my cup on the table. "I'm not gonna take the risk," I thought.

"Uncle, that's what all tea is." Iroh looked at Zuko with fury in his eyes. "How could a member of my family say something so horrible?! " I laughed, but I stopped as I felt that I was being stared at again. I looked out the window. "We'll have to make some major changes around here." Iroh said that he threw the "tea" out the window, and I saw someone move very fast. "What the...?" I muttered loud enough for Zuko to hear.

"Are you sure you are okay? You don't look so well." I turned to look at Zuko and smiled at him. "It's nothing, really, I just have this weird bad feeling." He nodded and looked at Iroh, who was changing everything around the tea shop. This was going to be a long day. Well, a long week.

After a long day, we finally went home. I was lying next to Zuko. "Would you like a pot of tea?" Asked Iroh. "No, too much tea for today. I feel like everything around me is turning into tea." He then looked at Zuko.

"We've been working in a tea shop all day. I'm sick of tea." Iroh looked very offended by Zuko's words. "Sick of tea?! That's like being sick of breathing."

"No, it's not," I mentioned. "Have you seen our spark rocks to heat the water?" I shook my head. Iroh headed out for a moment and then he came in with spark rocks. "I borrowed our neighbour's. Such kind people." He then heated the tea.

I snuggled closer to Zuko and I hugged him. He hugged me back, and I fell asleep like that.

...

I was cleaning the tables with Zuko. I got into the kitchen to clean the dishes and when I came out I saw Jet. I knew this guy was bad news. "I'm tired of waiting. These two men and that girl are firebenders!" As silence fell I couldn't help but snort. Everyone turned to look at me as I approached Jet.

"Says who? You? The guy who has been stalking us and following us ever since we got to the city? Stop now and don't make a fool of yourself." He then took out two hooked swords. Zuko quickly put himself before me and pushed me behind him.

"I know they're firebenders. I saw the old man heating his tea." He said, looking like a maniac. Poor boy, he is right, but he could also fucking mind his business. "He works in a tea shop." I heard a customer say.

"He's a firebender, I'm telling you!" The two customers were guards, which I hadn't noticed. "Drop your swords, boy, nice and easy." The guards stood up as Jet looked at us.

"You'll have to defend yourself, then everyone will know. Go ahead show them what you can do." I was gonna step in, but Zuko beat me at it. "You want a show?" He said as he grabbed the dual swords from the guard. "I'll give you a show." Oh my god. That is very hot. Like, VERY hot.

They started fighting inside the teashop, and we had to dodge the two teenage boys. At some point, Jet pushed Zuko out of the teashop and they started fighting in the streets. "You must be getting tired of using those swords. Why don't you go ahead and firebend at me?" Iroh and I were looking at them from inside the teashop.

"Please, son, you are confused! You don't know what you are doing!" Pleaded Iroh as he saw the two boys fight. "Bet you wish he helped you out with a little fireblast right now." Said Jet, to which I decided to step in. I grabbed one sword from the guard next to me.

I stepped in and helped Zuko fight the psychopath. "You're the one who needs help." Said Zuko as I stepped in. I swung my sword at him but he dodged it easily. He then jumped and sat on a pond.

"You see that? The fire nation is trying to silence me! It'll never happen." He then jumped at us to fight us. "Jeez man, you really need help. Do we look like fire nation to you? We're just immigrants." I said as I swung my sword at him again. Zuko and I grunted as we fought the boy. He was good, but not good enough.

Out of a sudden, some green-dressed guards appeared. "Drop your weapons." I did as they commanded. "Arrest them, they're firebenders." I furiously looked at him. "This poor boy is confused. We're just simple refugees."

"This young man wrecked my shop and assaulted my employees!" Said the owner. I felt kind of bad, cause, in the end, he was right, we were Fire Nation. "it's true sir, I saw the whole thing. This crazy kid attacked the finest tea maker in the city." The guards backed us too.

"Oh, that's very sweet." Said Iroh with a smile, and he also blushed intensely. I smiled too, just because his smile was very contagious. "Come with us, son." The agents grabbed Jet as he tried to attack them. "You don't understand! They're fire nation! You have to believe me." I looked away as the agents took him, I couldn't look at him while he screamed so desperately, in the end, he was right and we were fire nation.
