Description Well, honestly, what was he expecting? It's one thing to declare, "I'm going to join the Avatar." It's another thing to get him to let you stick around after you've made several months' favorite hobby of trying to bag him like a gopher-rabbit.

All joking aside, I'm so proud of Zuko I could burst (always knew he had it in him), and I can't wait to see how he integrates into the new Gaang Plus. I just...won't be too surprised if this is how it goes at first, you know?

(One week later...
Toph: Argh, is he still there? Can't we just land already?
Sokka: Toph, you know we can't go to ground until we know there are no Fire Nation troops after us. If they find out our hiding place, we're done for!
Teo: Aw, but he's so pathetic!
Zuko: *far in the distance, flailing after them in his little balloon* Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease! Waaaaaaaaait!
Katara: Hmph. You don't know him like we do, Teo. Trust me--he is a master of deceit. *headtoss*
Zuko: ;________;

Firstly.... Yay for rainbow text of dooom! This made me laugh A LOT. Schooltime Shipping style for the win!

Also, you know it's going to happen. Teo will so take pity on the only other deformed guy. (Unless you count Haru's facial hair as deformed.) Looking forward, surprisingly, to all the 'friendshipping' that could happen.

Faved for the lulz!

I would certainly not rule the doomstache out as a credible deformity, but it is at least easily fixed. We already know Aang has a razor. ^_^

Friendshipping will be excellent! I'm strongly looking forward to seeing how Toph and Teo get along, personally (speaking of "deformities").

Sad that there wasn't very much relation between Gaang 1.0 and GangPlus members. It reminds me of when the old Pokemon games for Gameboy weren't compatible between versions.

I still enjoyed his mortification though. And Katara was right- he SO must have needed a shower.

The depth! The drama! Now all we need is Zuko to attack Aang, then sneak BACK to the Fire Nation and dress up his father like him (cut his hair etc) and wait for PMSing Katara during a full moon to arrive and bloodbend the crap out of Ozai, thinking he's our dear Zuzu.

aww poor zuko. but out of all the gaang members, i think toph will be the first one to trust him because shes friends with uncle and can tell if zuko is lying.

Hmm....but what if being an excellent liar runs in the family?

...nah, it'd take her five minutes to work that out. You're right, Toph's lie detection might be his saving grace, though she isn't the trusting type.

no, it's the cummulative negative karma that's he's built up that must be balanced before he can accomplish anything. but the pain will be enjoyable to watch.

I know, that was very clever of him, wasn't it? Well, okay, it's not like the Fire Nation keeps around any flying machines that AREN'T huge and scary, but still. It's too bad there's no way he'd have time to paint it or something.

I'm glad you like it! Teo was fun to draw. (Isn't he always?)

Well, seeing as how the Gaang Plus has flown off to "lay low" at the Temple of Love--I mean, the Western Air Temple, I'm guessing we've got a pretty good chance of ample Teo time. Oh, the possibilities. <3

TobuIshi In reply to Mad-Hatter-LCarol [2007-12-02 01:07:53 +0000 UTC]

Toph? But Toph is BFs with his uncle, and the last any of them heard, Zuko was busily betraying him. Maybe he'd have better luck with one of the newbs...Teo, or Haru....or maybe the Duke?

Mad-Hatter-LCarol In reply to TobuIshi [2007-12-02 15:32:55 +0000 UTC]

yeah, that's true... but Toph hasn't really meet zuko properly yet and iroh already said they're a lot alike... so i pretty sure she'll kick his ass (just to show who's boss) then make friends with him. i can see him making friends with the Duke too- but if his first gaang friend is Haru, i have to kill- not me, but maybe him.

Ahah~ha...... T_T THis is sort of like one of my many fears of what may happen during "the western air temple".... That either Zuko loses their trail or....

this scenario happens.

Aang gang *looks behind* "AGGHHHH!!!! THE FIRE NATION'S FOLLOWING US!!!!!!" *shoots balloon* They don't NEED to see it's Zuko, they second they see the ballooon itself, they're gonna freak -_-'

Zuko's gonna be MURDERED by Katara, maybe Aang, and possibly Sokka the second eye contact is made unless he's got a plan.

lol!! poor Zuko... how much you wanna bet he gets at least partially owned before he's accepted? Katara is gonna DESTROY him before he can get anywhere near the Gaang! I expect she's still a tad angry about how in Moment of Truth #1, he chose the side that led to Aang's death. Hmm, I wonder why they're so skeptical!! Heehee. Can't wait to see the real thing.

Yeah, I'm interested to see if Katara manages to pwn him before he can explain himself. I'm also interested to see how he explains himself, because, srsly, that is going to be a very tough thing to pull off. Good luck, m'boy.
