Chapter Text
“Guys? I might have an idea to get to King Buei… But I I must first confess something to you all.” Zuko stammered.
“Spill it, Sparky.”
“I-I am not Zu, the guy who was washed up onto the shores of the Southern Water Tribe.”
“What are you talking about Zu!?” Katara stood up.
Zuko took a deep breath.
“I am, or at least, used to be Crown Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation.”
The Gaang froze.
“What?” They all collectively said.
“He’s-He’s not lying guys.” Toph stuttered.
Toph stuttered.
“I’m sorry, I just didn’t know how to break the news. But the the plan. In this place, no one knows about the war. But neither about my banishment. So I might be able to abuse my former status as the Crown Prince and get to talk to the King.”
“No…No this isn’t happening. This isn’t possible.” Katara rambled while holding her head.
“I’m sorry Katara.”
“So, you’re a Prince.” Toph stated.
“Used to be.”
“Doesn’t matter. So, your plan isn’t bad. You might be able to do so.” Toph said, still lying on the couch.
“You two seem to forget one thing. You’re dressed like an Earth Kingdom. You look nothing like a Fire Nation Royal.”
“That is another part of my plan. Aang and Sokka can get that Joo Dee girl to get some Fire Nation clothes, just say you have someone who used to be Fire Nation and who is homesick or whatever. Meanwhile, Katara, Toph and I can use our bending to make from these golden spoons I found in the kitchen the Fire Nation Crown Prince headpiece.”
“You’re crazy. I’m in.” Sokka yelled.
