My Prince Returns

Ch3rry: Ok so this is a story mostly about Jin since I think it was so unfair they never mentioned her again.

Jin: I agree! Me and zuko should have gotten married!

Ch3rry: ehh... No comment. Zuko, disclaimer please!

Zuko: Ch3rry does not own ATLA, me iroh, top or Jin. She does however own Hana, Jin's sister.

"I have to go." The paled skin boy said breaking the kiss and running off.

"Li wait!" The brunette yelled after him. The girl sighed with disappointment. After seeing that he was not about to turn around anytime soon; she took one last look at the strangely lit torches and started her on her short walk home.

"Jin your back! How was your date dear?" Her mother asked when Jin walked through the door.

"It was nice," she mumbled opening the door to her room and slamming it shut.

Her mother exchanged a knowing glance to her husband, and then chuckled with delight. "Ahhh, the life of a teenager."

Lying across her bed, Jin thought about what she could've have done wrong to make him leave so hastily. Not able to come to a conclusion, she walked over to her dresser drawer and looked at herself in the mirror. Suddenly a smile formed across the pretty face that stared back at her. Yes, she was disappointed that he left so quickly, but she enjoyed herself and thought that Li seemed to have had fun as well. She would forget about his sudden departure and think about all the good things on their first date.

The creaking sound of her door being opened interrupted her pleasant thoughts. She looked over to see her 14 year old sister standing excitably in the doorway.

"Tell me everything!' her sister squealed with emotion.

Jin giggled. Her little sister was always interested about other people's romantic lives. She was also a top notch gossiper too. In Jin's opinion, her sister was meant for the high class society, not the dull life of a second class worker. Her hair was always in the latest style, and though they couldn't always afford it, her sister always knew what the new IN thing was. Jin on the other hand, was a hard worker, but at the same time knew how to enjoy herself. The newest hairstyle was not really a matter she concerned herself with.

"Oh Hana, it was ok." She said torturing her sister.

"You're lying!! Stop it and tell me what happened! What did you say his name was? Was he cute? You didn't tell me anything before you went out with him, now spill!" Hana begged.

"Well… his name is Li. He's really cute and… tonight was the best night of my life!" Jin gushed with excitement.

Hana started jumping up and down squealing like pig. "Tell me more!" Her eyes green as spring grass danced with excitement. Her lips curled into a huge cheesy grin. She was genuinely happy for her sister. Plus, she loved hearing about people's dates and giving romance advice.

"You should've seen him! When he first came out of his house, his hair was styled in some crazy look that I guess his uncle had worked on all night. Then we went to eat dinner where he attempted to do a little juggling for me. He said that he use to work in a traveling circus as a juggler, but it looked like he could've used some practice. Then I took him to that special place I told you about with the lanterns and fountain, but the fires wasn't lit." she explained.

"Awww that sucks, her sister lamented.

Jin looked at the ground. "Yeah it did, but then something strange happened." She said looking back up at her sister. "He told me to close my eyes, and when I opened them again they were lit. I don't know how, but they were."

Her sister stared at her amazed and then giggled. "Maybe he's a firebender!"

Jin froze for a second before busting out laughing. Her and her sister laughed so hard that their stomachs began to ache. When they finally calmed down Jin began retelling her story.

"Anyways," she said wiping a happy tear from her eye. "We kissed and then… and then he just ran off."

"I wouldn't worry about him running off, maybe he forget to do the dishes or something. What I do know is that you have to see him again! Give him a few days, then go up there and see what's he's doing" her sister encouraged.

Hugging her little sister, she smiled. "Thanks. You know, for being younger than me, you sure do know a lot about these things. Not that I don't. I'll go in three days to see what he's doing."

After talking about the date for a few more minutes, they changed out of their day clothes to something to sleep in. As she fell fast asleep, Jin couldn't help but wonder what surprises lay ahead with Li.

The three days went by painfully slow; by the time they were up Jin was ecstatic. But when she finally got there the place was deserted. Many regular customers stood there, just waiting for it to open. It never did. The next day Firenation soldiers came into Ba Sing Se and took over. The earthnation had fallen. Then a month later it was all over. The avatar and his friends beat the Firelord and restored the earthnation to its rightful place. But even after all that, Jin never saw Li again until…

"Uncle!"

"Zuko!"

"It's so great to see you!"The young man with rich black hair exclaimed embracing his unclein a tight hug.

It had been two and a half years since the Avatar took down the Firelord and the long process of restoring peace and unity began. Young Firelord Zuko had decided that a visit to the Jasmine Dragon. His usual visit to see his Uncle was long overdue. A few months after the war ended, Iroh had reopened the Jasmine Dragon along with the help of Toph who moved in with him.

"Hey Sparky. You've gotten handsomer since the last time I saw you." The blind girl with long raven hair greeted, punching him softly on the shoulder.

"Thanks Toph I appr… Toph!"

After the formalities Iroh made a new batch of delicious steaming tea for his dear, new arrivals. They talked about old times and what everybody has been up to. They had been talking for an hour when an old customer walked through the door.

"Li?"
