Lyra tried hard not to laugh at how clueless Zuko is in dancing. She tried to teach him some 'new moves', which were actually old dances from different nations, but he had no idea how to do any of them.
Days passed and Iroh joined them, he was better then Zuko but they all knew that Zuko and Lyra wanted some time together. Problem was that they were at small float, not having enough space for themselves.
'Look at me.' she said to fire nation prince, 'you have to turn around two times and then act like you will sit down, but get up quickly and jump. Do you get it?' (a/n sorry for useless not existed move)
She did the move, and Zuko just eyed her. For him, she was perfect. They grew closer in last week and he catched strong feelings. Zuko tried to do the same thing as her, but he fall on the ground. He notice Lyra laughing at him, so he grabbed her leg. 'No, don't you dare--' she hissed, but before she could finish Zuko pulled her leg and she fell right on top of him.
Somehow, Iroh was sleeping. Their faces were few inches apart, both of them stared at other. They didn't kiss since that night on ship, but deep down both of them wanted to repeat that, but they were too proud to admit.
'You are an idiot.' she said annoyed but to Zuko, her voice was something sweetest in the world. 'I'm the prince.' he replied mockingly but girl just rolled her eyes. 'Excuse me, royal idiot.'
They didn't move for few seconds, but then Lyra rolled on side, laying next to Zuko. 'Did someone told you how bad dancer you are?' she teased him, knowing that he is annoyed at everything less then perfection. 'No, because people in fire nation don't do dances.'
'I'm fire nation and I do dances.' she lied, but sound of her voice was as confident as always. 'You are from colonies. I'm from Palate. I don't care about that but things are different.' he explained but again she just rolled eyes. She was princess from Air Temple, honorable guest at fire nation Palate multiple times and attended multiple dances at earth kingdom. Things before were the same at every place.
'What are you planning to do when we capture the Avatar?' he asked studenly, admiring girl next to him. 'Going back to my old life.' she lied, 'Maybe travel around the world, find old friends.'
'You could come with me.' he said out of nowhere, and Lyra just stared at him. 'What?' she asked confused, thinking that she heard wrong. 'You could come with me, in Palate. We could spend more time together, and you know--' he started nervously, but Lyra just giggled.
'Don't you have to ask me something before that?' she teased him, but didn't expect Zuko to react. He needed to calm down with her over time, which was bad for Iroh since all Zuko's anger went right on him.
Zuko knelled down and observed Lyra who was laying for few seconds, before speaking. 'As I told you weeks before, I really like you. You are the only girl I want. Will you be my girlfriend?'
Lyra's eyes were wide open, she stared at boy for second before knelling in front him. She grabbed his hands and Zuko's expression softened, he wasn't angry Zuko at this second. 'I really like you too, but we are in the middle of the war. If everything ends up well, I would be honored.' she replied honestly and notice how Zuko's expression didn't change.
'We would capture the Avatar, fire nation would win the war.' he said quietly, but for Lyra it wasn't good ending. She liked Zuko a lot, but she couldn't be with fire nation prince if his obsession with Aang doesn't end.
Even after 100 years in stone she didn't get over her old life, and she was sure that she never would. There were moments when she only wanted to seek for her old friends and lover, but it would be pointless, she didn't know if they were alive.
'Aauh.'teenagers heard Iroh waking up so they pulled apart as quick as they could. They still stared at each other, just from bigger distance.
'It's wonderful morning.' Iroh said dreamy, but Zuko cutted in. 'It's not morning, uncle!' he snapped, throwing anger at his uncle. Lyra knew that trying to calm him down would be useless, so she just waited for that.
After Iroh waking up, both Lyra and Zuko talked with him about Aang, tea and war. 'So Alison, how did you become soldier? You are as old as my nephew, where did you learn to fight like that?' Lyra needed quick backup story, but she wasn't able to made it up perfectly at second.
'Can we not talk about it? No offence, but it's something I would love to keep private.' she smiled sweetly and Iroh nodded at her, but Zuko didn't buy that story. 'Can't you give us a hint?' he asked annoyed and it wake up anger in Lyra. She hated disrespect, growing up as princess she didn't tolerate bad word about herself.
'I can't. What would you do about it, prince Zuko?' she snapped and Zuko realised that he screw up. She never called him just Zuko, but prince Zuko means that she is angry. 'Uncle asked you, it's disrespe--' he tried to talk but Lyra cutted in.
'Don't talk with me about disrespect, I risked my life for you!' she snapped again, and Zuko knew that she is right. She could left with Zhao and she didn't have to travel with him, but again she decide to stuck by his side. Even when she was badly hurt, she never leave.
'I understand, Alison. Sometimes it is hard to talk about our past.' Iroh said kindly, offering both her and Zuko kind smile. Iroh's eyes sparkled for second before saying,
'So, who is ready to catch some fish?'
