Summary: Wolves meet and we learn something about Paradise.
Spoilers: None.

Toboe was hungry. So hungry that he didn't care about what the others would think about him hunting alone. He was aware, however, that if he'd asked for Tsume's help, he would've gotten it, but Tsume and Hige and Kiba were more tired than hungry, unlike him. Toboe was tired too, certainly, but his stomach had rumbled and rumbled and it wouldn't leave him rest.

Toboe sniffed around, looking for something that would make an easy prey until hlf wants to go to Paradise, that's what my mother used to say.” He was going to add something but the goat Mei was faster.

“Paradise sounds like a nice place,” he said in the distinctive tone of voice of those who are sad but want to sound cheerful. “And, if you want to go, I think I can manage—”

Gabu's eyes widened and he began to flail. “What? What are you talking about?”

“You said every wolf wanted to go to Paradise,” Mei said, eyes all opened up and teary. “I would never think to stop you from—”

“Mei! I'm not going to leave you!” Gabu said, still flailing. “I'm not going anywhere!”

“But you said you wanted to go, that every wolf wanted to go...”

��That's what
my mother
used to say!” Gabu calmed down, shook his head, and sighed. Then he looked at Toboe, who had been witnessing the exchange without really understanding a thing and feeling like he'd done something very wrong by asking the other wolf to accompany them to Paradise. “Listen,” Gabu said, “what I was going to say is that I don't need to go to Paradise.”

Toboe tilted his head. He'd heard that from other wolves, but all of them were worn down, unhappy, and had lost all hope. Gabu was different from all of them, quite the opposite actually.

“Why not?” Toboe asked, unable to help himself.

“Yes, why not?” Mei asked.

“Because,” Gabu said while pushing the goat with his mu

Summary: Iroh wins a contest and shares with His nephew historical price. Sadly, Not That Zuko is happy about the outcome.
Spoilers: for Some of the second season, Though this is Conceived to Happen Before ending STI.

No power in the world could've stopped Iroh from Participating in the Tea Emporium's Contest to find the Earth Kingdom's Greatest Tea Connoisseur, Zuko Did That Was why bother events. Still, sincere They Could not just leave the tea house unattended for a whole day, Iroh That left early morning on His Own to the contest. Even Thought That Would meant to Zuko hr would never send his soldiers to a pleasure trip; he has an image to maintain, you know?”

\n

“Either way, Ba Sing Se is

not

near the sea in any account.”

\n

Iroh raised a finger. “That's why we're leaving tomorrow morning, to catch up with the ship on time. The Emporium is covering all the traveling expenses, of course. It's great, isn't it? We'll get to do some sightseeing!”

\n

“We cannot go.”

\n

“Why not? It's free!”

\n

“Be—because...” Zuko couldn't bring himself to say what if the Avatar shows up while we're away? —which would so happen, if his previous luck served as a pattern. “What's going to happen with the tea house?” he asked instead.

\n

Iroh put his hands on Zuko's shoulders and looked at him in the eyes. “Nephew, right now I'm feeling really proud of you; you're showing so much responsibility towards our jobs. But never fear; the owner was a guest in the contest. I talked to him and he gave us permission to go as long as we bring him a souvenir.”

\n

This time, Zuko did rub his face with his hand.

\n

He had run out of arguments and, anyway, if he managed to come up with something else, his uncle was going to tear it apart as well. So, he went to get his traveling bag ready.

\n

He was vaguely glad he'd washed his underwear the day before.

\n

- \n For three days they traveled, through the desert, through mountains, through forests, and some villages, just like they had done it not-so-long before, only that now on a cart instead than on foot. This fact, though Zuko would never acknowledge it aloud, made the landscapes more appealing than back then. Nevertheless, he still was looking all around them for hints of the Fire Nation Army.

\n

“In times like this, I wish I was a master painter, to capture all of this beauty as it deserves,” Iroh said as they were passing by an impressive rock formation shaped rustically as a flower. Whether Mother Nature or a

creative

earthbender should be thanked for it, was debatable.

\n

“Mmmh,” Zuko replied.

\n

“I think I could take classes on the cruise. The brochure said something about it.” \n “Mmmh. "

" And There Are singing classes too. "

" Mmmh. "

" By the way, I signed you up for dancing classes. "

" You what? "Iroh

snickered. "Sorry, I just wanted to know if You Were listening." Zuko frowned

as a response.

"Relax, nephew. No-one's Following us. " His uncle Said If it, it'd be true, But Zuko Could not relax like he'd Been Told, They Had Placed Themselves in the open, They Had Become firebender fair game to Any Who Happened to Know Who They Were. Or to

Happened to Anyone Who Know Who They Were, Which Were Their Circumstances, and Want to be in good Terms with the Fire Nation.

-

\n

They reached their destination without any incident worthy of note.

\n

The port was in a lovely, vivacious town with a well-developed touristic infrastructure, the kind of which Zuko would've never set foot on by his own free will, and even less making a flamboyant fuss; if pressed, he'd probably enter the town burning random things to prove the power of the Fire Nation. However, he and his uncle were there now, with no way out of the noticing, and the hotel they arrived to was providing the flamboyant fuss—as it was part of the prize.

\n

Iroh and Zuko were welcomed by a band playing a triumphal march, some beautiful girls gave them flowers—and kisses—, and the hotel manager gave a very moving speech to the staff about The Earth Kingdom's Greagh the room and its contents weren't even close to the luxuries he'd enjoyed as a child, it was most definitely an improvement to what he and his uncle had been forced to go through in the past years.

\n

There was a small table with a fruit basket on it, some cushions to linger on scattered near a big window that provided a charming view of the sea. In the back, there were two beds, one at the side of the other. The very first thing Iroh did when they walked into the room was to jump on them to find out which one was the softest and claim it for himself.

\n

“If you don't mind, I'm going to take a nap,” Iroh said, lying down and yawning. “That was enough emotion for one day. I don't know how I'm going to survive the cruise.”

\n

“Uncle, a fact. But, all of a sudden, Zuko had had his last strike of good luck and the Avatar himself showed up for the first time in one hundred years.

\n

And, immediately after, helped by those barbarians from the Water Tribe, the Avatar had slipped from his fingers...

\n

The Avatar had slipped just like water. The irony was the one that hadn't escaped Zuko.

\n

Right when he was promising himself one more time that he was going to do fulfill his task sooner than later, Zuko heard a familiar voice that woke him up and made him hide behind the tree.

\n

He still couldn't believe it even when he saw them, walking right in front of him: he had just ran into the Avatar's friends from the Water Tribe.

\n

“Katara, are you sureThat

with the heartwarming welcoming speech Seemed a little closer now.

- Zuko

Spent the rest of the evening in the hotel lobby thinking how I WAS going to set against the trap for His uncle Avatar Without Noticing it, that'd Be The Most Difficult Part. Wonderer Also if I've Had Enough money to bribe the steward to keep the Avatar caged in the storeroom. In Any case, I WAS Certain He Did not Have Enough for Buying the hypothetical steward for the whole week, so it'd Be Better to go for the avatar near the end of the travel.

That Brought Its Own drawbacks, though. For example, Zuko That Needed to make sure the Avatar Neither friend saw the historical standards firebenders, Not only to keep the element of surprise, But Because It Was notto make in order to restore historical honor. Which was True Even if it sounds like an oxymoron.

And, on the plus side, this time around I WAS going to be the one being served, not the one doing the serving. Actually Thinking of That made him feel a little better.

-

At the end, I got the hats and the fans for free-two sets of each, even-, When I Asked the hotel manager Specially Where to Find Some Not That big and expensive. The manager Had Had Given him Smile and hats while the hatters Had Boasting about how well-respected represent That industry in town for Generations.

Had not Been This part of Zuko's original plan, But He Was running out of time, the ship WAS going to leave the port early in the morning and the shops were about to close. Besides, it'd be easier to explain those items to his uncle that way; he would've been very suspicious if Zuko told him he'd bought them.

\n

“Nice hats,” Iroh said when he saw Zuko coming into the room with the things in his hands. “But they'd look better with an orchid on them, don't you think so?”

\n

“I saw some in the back yard. Do you want me to go for one—?”

\n

“No, no. I'll go myself. I need to stretch my legs a little. Oh, and, nephew?” he added as he stood up from the cushion he was eating grapes on.

\n

“Yes, uncle?”

\n

“See how all the relaxing is working?”

\n

“Excuse me?”

\n

“We've barely begun our vacation and your mood has improved noticeably already. And your eyes are shining like they hadn't shined in a while.”

\n

“Huh...”

\n

Iroh passed an arm around Zuko's shoulders and asked, “So, was she pretty?”

\n

Zuko barely managed to babble a “Wha—?”

\n

“It's the only answer for a change so sudden,” Iroh said thoughtfully. “You met a pretty girl when you went out for your walk, didn't you? By your reaction, I gather she's going in the cruise too—”

\n

“I—I didn't meet any—”

\n

Iroh raised his hand and shook his head solemnly. “It's fine, nephew. Don't worry, I won't meddle. I promise that won't even ask if you come back late to the cabin. Just be careful, all right?” \n CHhats, let alone one with flowers on it ", so only the detail Had Improve the disguise. Either way, Zuko Fought His uncle When He Began His hat decorating the next morning, out of principle. The band

Was There When They Were again boarding the ship, playing the Same march as before. The hotel staff was There too, waving goodbye and Asking Them to come back soon. A mature, attractive woman in the back caught Zuko's eye, she WAS winking and blowing kisses to His uncle, who, in turn, WAS Broadly smiling and blowing kisses back. Right Then, Zuko Realized That I Had not Noticed When Iroh Had come back to the room the night before and held back a whine. As soon as

They set foot on the deck, the captain shook Their hands and a lovely girl put a colorful flower collar around their necks.

\n

Zuko concealed his face as much as he could behind his fan and looked around for the Avatar; it would seem like he was just admiring the ship, which, actually, deserved to be admired: it was quite big, and yet it managed to be elegant. Still, Zuko didn't put much attention to the details, only to the main structure, to the parts that would allow him to hide when and if necessary.

\n

The Avatar wasn't on that part of the deck, though his friend was, trying to be all formal and dignified—emphasis on

trying

; the fact that the waiter uniform didn't become him was the least of his problems. He was helping a reluctant old woman to take her luggage to—most probably—her cabin.

\n

Zuko frowned. WhileThat ensurer the Presence of the Avatar on board, all that's noise and flailing Could historical call uncle's Attention and Malthus put and end to Zuko's plan. Fortunately, as Zuko Noticed with the corner of His eye, Iroh WAS chatting with a group of Passengers, and the Avatar's Friend Was Gone to the lower deck in less Than half a minute.

"A drink, sir?"

Zuko look up, Somewhat startled, it Had Been a While Since You Had someone with him Addressed Such resp. It Was a middle-age man smiling a wide smile to Be Entirely too heartfelt, Though His eyes sparkle with A Certain cheerfulness, I WAS skillfully holding a tray with assorted beverages on the palm of His hand. And the uniform on him Looked Better Than on the Avatar's friend. "Yes, thank you," Zuko said, grabbing the drink whose color seemed less health-threatening.

\n

The man bobbed his head and left to attend the other passengers. Zuko took a sip of his drink and decided it wasn't all that bad.

\n

One moment later, Iroh approached to Zuko. “Nephew, let's go to our cabin. Once we're all settled down, you can go out to look for your—” (significant pause) “—

special

friend.”

\n

Zuko tried not to wince.

\n

-

\n

Since before the ship sailed, one could feel the excitement in all the passengers, but now that it had left the port, the thrill was unbearable. Or it would've been, if Zuko hadn't been so focused on his quest.

\n

He saw himself back on the sea, again looking for tI Avatar. Life Went in circles, I thought-or Rather, in spirals, sincere this time There Was No Doubt I Had the upper hand and I

WAS going to capture prey historical Once and for all.

- Iroh

Himself signed up to the painting classes I Had Talked about on Their Way to the port. And to the dancing classes, and the poetry classes, and the bakery classes. All of Which meant to counter with Zuko Several hours a day of Being absolutely sure His uncle Would Appear to-inadvertently-thwart him. Zuko

Walked all over the deck, I Had not yet seen the Avatar, pero Being Kept His friend everywhere. Currently, I Was the One Offering the drinks to the Passengers-not as skillfully as the Man Who Had Given a little historical Zuko Earlier, but at least he wasn't spilling them over.

\n

Zuko covered his face with the fan and hid behind an elderly couple as the Avatar's friend was getting closer. After he left, Zuko thought of following him, but he immediately realized that no good would come out of that, at least that early in the afternoon; the “authorized personal only” sign wasn't there just as an ornament. Therefore, Zuko decided it'd be for the best to wait until it was dark to comb the lower decks.

\n

The Avatar

had

to be somewhere, and he'd be easier to find if he was in his cabin and not moving all around serving drinks and helping old ladies to find the pool. On the meantime, Zuko decided going to sleep; he'd need to be well-rested for what he was going to do that ned, Aang!”

\n

“Me too!”

\n

“Hey! You weren't running all over the place doing... everything!”

\n

“I was washing dishes! Did you know there are like ten thousand dishes on the ship? And don't let me start on the vases!”

\n

“How did we get in this mess, again?”

\n

“You and I were running on the square because we were late to meet Katara and Toph and—”

\n

“It was rhetorical, Aang!”

\n

“He, sorry!”

\n

At the other side of the door, Zuko smiled, feeling somewhat vindicated; the Avatar was washing the dishes on the cruise ship. Washing dishes was awful; it dried your hands' skin and ruined them and...

\n

“Aang, will you keep Momoho I saw an hour ago working on this very ship?”

\n

Zuko's heart skipped a beat and glued his eyes to his uncle's face.

\n

That wasn't happening.

\n

That was

not

happening.

\n

His uncle surely had just found a long-lost friend and wanted to invite him to have dinner with them or something.

\n

Maybe he had been asked in marriage by one of the eccentric old women that were all over the ship.

\n Or maybe... \n

“Do you remember the Avatar's friend from the Water Tribe? He and the Avatar himself are working as waiters in the ship. Can you believe that?”

\n

...maybe he had seen that noisy Water Tribe barbarian.

\n

Zuko felt dizzy. And empty. But Specially dizzy. And disappointed. Bordering And in anger. Kept talking

Iroh. "I jump up to him to say hello and I Gave Exactly the Same face me you're making. But to him I Told That You and I were just Passengers Who Want to enjoy the trip as much as we Could and Avoid Any Trouble. I'm not sure I Convinced him, pero we're meeting him tonight and the Avatar on the deck to a formal truce pact. What do you think? "His uncle

Did not Want to Know What That Zuko WAS thinking right moment, so I Did not answer.

Fortunately, the food meat and soon to distract Zuko Could Them Properly sulk for a while. Though He Did not eat, he'd lost all appetite for the Time Being.

Had Been His Plans Thrown overboard by a smooth twistof fate. Though, musing on it, it'd Been That absurd to expect His uncle, Who Was far more observant Than I Seem To Be, Would not notice the Avatar's friend, absolutely Who Looked Like a fish out of the water in orange-That waiter and-yellow uniform.

-

Not bothering anymore with hiding His face, Zuko Spent the rest of the afternoon sitting on one of the deck's chairs, wondering if I could've done Something to Prevent What Had Happened. For how long

His uncle Had Known about historical plans? Since the Beginning? Certainly that'd Explain the little joke about the 'special friend'.

Zuko sighed. In a way, His uncle Would Never Stop Being the great General Iroh, the magnificent Dragon of the West. Always three steps ahead-a \n

“You really are here!” the Avatar said.

\n

“You didn't believe me?” his friend asked.

\n

“Uh, of course I did,” the Avatar said, scratching his bald head. “But you have to admit it's too much of a coincidence.”

\n

“I'd say,” Zuko sighed, folding his arms.

\n

“Well, gentlemen,” Iroh began. “We're here to pact a truce.”

\n The Avatar's friend scowled. “Yeah, right.” \n

Iroh folded his arms and hid his hands within his sleeves. “I hereby promise that you will not receive any harm from me nor my nephew,” he said simply, though in his gravest tone of voice, which apparently made the Avatar and his friend to take him seriously.

\n

The Avattion prince wished for this situation to be a bad dream. Or for him to be somewhere else, far away, where he didn't have to make this decision.

\n He just hated his lousy luck while hating everything else in the world. \n

“Nephew?” Iroh pressed.

\n

“D'you see, Aang? He doesn't want to!”

\n

“I'd take my time thinking about it too, Sokka. He's been trying to catch me for a while; this must be difficult for him.”

\n

“You're too forgiving.”

\n

Zuko scoffed. “Fine!” he said finally. “No hostilities as long as we're on the ship. I promise.”

\n

The Avatar smiled broadly. “That sounds good enough for me.”

\n

“Have I mentioned you're too forgiving, Aang? Like, recently? "

Zuko did not care if the Avatar WAS forgiving or not. What I wanted I could not get, so he'd Have to conform Himself to His cabin with going to sulk Until Dawn "Either That or throw overboard Himself, Took it to whatever end it all as QUICKLY as possible.

-

Two days later, the ship made a stop in a tropical, lush island. Iroh WAS, of course, one of the first ones to disembark, pero Zuko wasn't in the mood to follow, so I Stayed in the ship. I wasn't in a mood for anything, really.

"You've no idea of What You're going to miss," Had Iroh said. Did not answer

Zuko, Iroh so left. An hour after

Had His uncle gone, Zuko got up from bed and walk around historical'T answer. The Avatar Remained quiet too, and They Stayed Like That, in silence, one at the side of The Other, Until the Water Tribe barbarian (Sokka) meat and looking for historical friend, scolding him for 'fraternizing with the enemy', dragged him away.

-

"You should've gone Along with me, nephew!" Said Iroh the next morning. "It was amazing! Truly amazing! The views! The food! The way Those Girls Moved Their hips "!"

"Thank you, uncle, I do not want to know."

"Nephew, Sometimes you worry me. I—I think of how much I want to cradle little grandnephews in my arms and—and then, well, look at you! You're old enough to Be Interested in Women, But You Do not Seem To Be at all. Sometimes I wonder-events "CHTMLEningen with throwing it to the sea. "It is Against the rules," the captain said. "I Gave you a fair warning Before you came on board."

Zuko It Turned Out That Had Been Wrong about What he'd Thought about the Avatar's eyes, Because He Had Them WIDER now than before. "I'm sorry, really!"

"The rules Are the rules," the captain said. "No-one is going to break Them."

"Wait, please!" But It Seemed

Amount of begging That Would not make the captain change His Mind. I WAS going to throw the animal to the sea. Still, it Could Fly, Could it? At least enough to get back to the island, master STI Until Went for it on historical flying bison. Unless the captain

Threw it away Along with the cage,Which WAS Apparently the case.

Where was the Avatar's friend When I Needed Him? Probably Leading serving drinks and old ladies from here to There at The Other Side of the ship.

Therefore, it WAS the Avatar on His Own.

"No! Please! "Said the Post, Trying to slow down the captain by Means of clinging to historical leg.

On His Own, helpless, about to lose one of His beloved pets.

The Avatar-the kid-had now small tears on the corners of His eyes. "Wait! Do not! "Zuko

historical bit lip, rubbed His face, and sighed deeply.

... maybe You're Not That bad, you know?

Yes, maybe I wasn't.

"Excuse me, captain," Said Zuko stepping out from his hiding place. “But I must confess: that animal is mine.”

\n

Both the Avatar and the captain—who had undoubtedly recognized Zuko as his newest Pai-Sho friend's relative—stared at him.

\n

“Is it, really?” the captain asked.

\n “Yes. I gave it to the boy here to take care of it for a while. I did wrong; I apologize.” \n

The captain looked from Zuko to the Avatar a couple of times before changing his puzzled look into one of amusement. Next, he reached out the cage to Zuko. “Very well,” he said. “There you go, young master.”

\n

The animal hissed when Zuko grabbed it, making him feel thankful for the existence of handles.

\n

“It'd be better if you keep it in yOur cabin, "the captain said. "So the boy Will not Be distracted at work."

"I will," Zuko said. The captain

Walk Away, But Not Before whispering to the Avatar, "You're very lucky, boy."

The Avatar

Jump On His Feet and, this time, I did Zuko Give a hug. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! "

" Go away! "Said Zuko, Trying to remove him. The Avatar

look up at him, His Eyes Were shining and grateful. "Why did you do it?"

"I've seen What you can do when you're angry," Was all Zuko Answered Before The Avatar's friend's voice Scandalize Reached Them.

"Aang! What in the world are you doing? "

" Do not tell him or the truce

to make a difference, every time he'd blown it out of his own selfishness. And here he was now, facing the end and he had nothing but regret.
Isaac then thought of the people he'd met recently, specially Peter Petrelli and Hiro Nakamura. They were working so hard to stop the bomb, even when they were doomed to fail. The comic book on the drawing table was proof of it; five years into the future Peter lived with the remorse of being the one who destroyed the city, and Hiro was going to be killed by Mohinder, and everything was so terrible...
He wished he could do something to help, but it was way out of his league; all he was good at was drawing the future accurately. So accurately...
Isaac couldn't help But I smile Suddenly Remembered as the persistent phone calls he'd gotten from Hiro not-so-long ago, Because He Believed and I wanted to know What to do next, Because he'd Reach the end of the issue he'd Been following.
frowned Isaac, Hiro Had Followed religiously historical 9th Wonders issue Because I believe in it. Hiro Believed Every Word, Every single panel, and done Exactly What They Had said. What Isaac Had Written and drawn down.

Then, it dawn on him. That Was It. That Was the solution. Isaac

spun around and jump up again to read historical sketches. What I soon found I WAS looking for: when the president Mohinder Gave the order to kill Hiro, the professor Had Already seen the comic and I too trusted Isaac's powers.

Breathing deeply, Isaac ripped the page where Mohinder killed Hiro and replaced it by one where Mohinder killed the Haitian instead.

Mohinder believed in Isaac; therefore, instead of doing what he was supposed to do, he would do what Isaac was asking him to do.

Isaac sat down and dared to defy his visions. And he knew he finally was a real hero.
