the witch next door
Zuko opened the front door with a scowl. “What?” Two teenage girls stood on his stoop, staring at him. “Oh yeah, we’re in the right place,” the first one declared. “Um,” the second one began. “We’re looking for the witch—” “He’s not a witch,” the first girl said, rolling her eyes. “Um, we’re looking for the psychic? Are you him?” Not again. “Aang lives next door,” he sighed, pointing to the pastel pink house right down the road. ——— The story where Zuko and Mai live in a dark house in the middle of the woods, and the locals confuse them for the witches that actually live next door. If Aang and Ty Lee had been the witches that had only existed in storybooks, Zuko would have been much happier, but no, they were the two most cheerful witches in the world, and worse still, they were determined to be their friends. Zuko knows that he doesn’t believe in all this spiritual stuff... but sometimes things change.
