Chapter 9

We sat in Sam's living room, fangirling over the episode we had been watching of Avatar: the Last Airbender.

"NO FUCKING WAY, BRO!" Sam screamed. My mouth was agape as I watched the scene unfold. (Spoilers if you haven't watched it all but it's honestly not that important lol) I watched as Uncle Iroh did pushups in his cell. Then, all of a sudden, he took off his robe thing and revealed a toned body. We both gasped and Sam jumped up from her chair.

"WHAT THE FUCK!?! HE'S FUCKING DEISEL!" She started to yell even more when he started to do one handed chin-ups. "This guy is frickin ripped," I said, getting up to get a snack.

I had known Sam forever, so I was basically family. I made a snack platter for both of us while she ran around the couch freaking out about uncle Iroh's buffness.

We were cursing as much as we wanted, since her parents were at a friend's house and her little sister was out with the friends she made at some boba shop. I'm not sure about that part, though, because Sam barely told me anything about how Heather met them.

I sat back down on the couch and munched on the snacks I had gathered. She jumped over the back of the couch and grabbed a snack from the plate. As she stopped chewing, she spoke, "Dragon of the West? More like Arnold Schwarzenegger of the West." I laughed at her comment with her and kept on watching.

Then I noticed something.

"Hey, Sam?" I asked, waiting for a reply, seeing as she was focused on the screen. She hummed in response. I watched as Zuko appeared on the screen. "I just realized that you have the same eye color as Zuko," I said smiling.

She looked at me with a smile and a raised brow, most likely confused as to why I even suddenly mentioned this in the first place. "Could you like, morph into a dragon and fire bend? Because, if you can, we gotta try it," I said smiling and looked at her. I saw her eyes widen and her smile turn into a grin.

"HELL YES!" She said as she took my shoulders and shook them violently. "Wait so you can actually do it?!" I said to her as she dragged me to her backyard at the speed of light. At least, that's what it seemed like.

"Hell no! I have no clue if I can do it or not, but WE'RE GONNA TRY THIS SHIT NO MATTER WHAT!" She yelled as she ran to the center of her yard and fist pumped the air. "Ok, stand back."

I stepped back a couple of steps like she asked. "A little further," She said while waving her hand in a shooing motion. I stepped again and she grinned and put two thumbs up. I returned the gesture and smiled.

I watched her take a breath and morph her hands into those of a dragon. She started to make fire out of thin air and demonstrate fire bending forms. When she finished, she looked at me with a shocked face and said, "Holy shit."

I started screaming as I ran towards her while holding my arms out for a hug. I squished her and jumped up and down in a circle. I grabbed her shoulders and said, "I have your new name." She raised a brow and smiled.

"Kneel, good ma'am, for thou haveth a new name," I said and watched her kneel with a grin. I grabbed a stick that had been laying near us and placed it on both of her shoulder while saying, "I dub thee, Firelord Zuko."

We both started to laugh and she looked up at me and got up. "You really aren't going to call me that, are you?" She said giggling. "I dubbed thee Firelord Zuko, and Firelord Zuko you shall remain," I stated giggling with her as we walked back inside.

For the rest of the night, we finished watching Avatar and I headed home. Her parents and sister were gonna arrive soon to get rest and I knew if we had a sleepover we would never shut up.

When I got home, I closed the door and made sure all the doors in the house were locked. I went upstairs to my mother's room to check on her. When I saw her sleeping soundly, I went to complete my nighttime routine and go to bed. I checked my phone to see if Mr. Indigo had texted, but there were no notifications except for My Tom 2.

My life in a nutshell.

I sighed and went to sleep dreaming of (f/f) and Mr. Indigo.
