Chapter 2

Authoress note: I apologize for the shortness of that last one. There's only so much you can do with "Give Zuko a hug in front of his crew." This one will be longer. Well, here goes nothing!

2. Take his Blue Spirit mask, wear it, and sneak around his ship while playing the "Pink Panther" theme song.

Steph looked at number two on the list. It was difficult,as Zuko would most likely have his mask hidden somewhere in his room, but doable. She looked up. She was approaching Zuko's room. She would have to start acting now if she wanted to make it convinceing. Steph started running loudly and breathing heavily. She burst into Zuko's room, where he was sitting around doing nothing.

"Quick, Zuko," she said, leaning against the wall as if she had just run a long distance, "run! You're uncle's coming... he's got the Pai Cho board!" At this point, she sounded so panicky (is that a word?) Zuko jumped up and looked a little worried himself.

"You're sure?" he asked. Steph nodded. He started to leave, then hesitated. "Wait," he said,"why are you warning me?" Steph put on her most convincing innocent smile. "To make up for the hugging thing," she said, almost honestly. Apperently, this was a good enough excuse for Zuko, who then proceded to leave his room. Quickly. Steph smiled, "Piece of cake."

Then came the next order of buisness: finding the Blue Spirit mask. Steph looked all over the place. I mean, she even looked under Zuko's bed. But all she found under there was... actually, you don't wanna know what she found under there. Anyway, she eventually found the mask.. in his underwear drawer (AN: ok, I know Zuko doesn't really have an underwear drawer, but just go with it). She got the mask out (while whispering "Ewewewewewewew") and slipped it on. Now Stephanie Marie Brown was the Blue Spirit. And her Blue Spirit would be a lot different from Zuko's.

Now that part numero uno of her plan was complete, it was time to commence part numero dos. She pulled a tape recorder out of her pocket (AN: just so you know, Steph has very big pockets. She'll probably end up pulling more, bigger things out in the future.) and pressed play. The Pink Panther theme started playing. She then started sneaking around.

(She looked around a corner)

Da da da da da da da da da daaaaaaaaaaaaa da da da

(She hid from a couple of people talking about the hug incident)

Da da

Da da

(She saw Zuko, who had apperently figured out that Iroh did not want to play Pai Cho with him, coming.)

Da da da da da-

(Zuko saw her and got mad)

Steph smiled sheepishly and waved. "Hi Zuko," she said, "did you get away from your uncle?" That day, everyone remembered seeing the same thing: the Blue Spirit running as Zuko chased her shouting, "STEPH I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

That's the end of chappie numero dos. (Uses Force mind trick) you want to review this fic.
