Chapter 3: Chan

Ju, Kuzon and Lan arrived at the Fire Nation Royal Palace. Lee greeted them at the entrance, accompanied by a young boy, who strangely looked a little bit like Kuzon...

The boy had fair skin (a lot like Kuzon's), sharp amber eyes and jet-blck hair, which was styled into some stiff, geeky hairstyle, that looked like he was just shot by lightning. His face wore those evil glares meaning you better watch out or there will be trouble. His clothing was like any typical Fire Nation kid's: red.

"This is Chan," said Lee gesturing to the boy beside him, "He's Zela's only son, and now he's in my care since his mother died recently."

"Oh wonderful," said Ju,"a new playmate for Lan." Chan rolled his eyes and Lan made a vomiting gesture.

"Lets just hope they won't quarrel," added Kuzon.

The adults left the children alone in the grand Fire Nation Garden and went to chat, about the dead boring stuff that parent chatter on... and on... about. Lan tugged Ju's robes and gave a don't leave me alone with that guy look. No use. She tried those puppy-dog eyes (which normally worked), but failed. Ju kept walking away... completely unaware of what's gonna happened in the the not-so-distant future. Lets just say Lan and Chan don't and won't mix, which is just disappointing for those idiots, who stupidly thought "Lachan" will happen.

Chan sat at the end of the vast pond, and Lan, after seeing those cute little turtle-ducks, sat south-west of the pond, quite close to Chan. Chan looked in Lan's direction, then started scannig her up and down, with his face unchanged from first meeting her. Isn't that weird, is his face stuck with that glare of his? Lan quickly got irratated by Chan scanning her, like a she's a weirdo alien from outer space. To tell the truth Chan looked alien than her; he was dead hideous!!

"Why you looking?" Lan snapped at him. Chan glared then looked away. Then Lan started to scan Chan.

"Would you quit looking at me?" said Chan.

Lan, annoyed, pushed Chan. Frustrated Chan, pulled Lan's hand and smacked it really, really hard. Lan yelled and cried and the adults rushed over.

"What's wrong, dear?" asked Ju.

"Cha...Cha...Chan hit me!" replied Lan.

"Chan don't be a bad boy," warned Lee.

Chan, in reponse, stomped off to the corner and sat there crying. He sadly missed lunch and his favourite dessert, cherry pie.
