She was lurking not 10 feet away, keeping her watchful blue gaze trained on them. Jet had seen her once or twice when checking out the captain of the girls' senior swim team. She'd never paid much attention to him.

Which was why her watching him like that was kind of unnerving. Not that Jet would ever admit to being 'unnerved' by a slip of a girl like that.

Until she came over to where he and Zuko sat hunched over the PSP (that display was kinda small for two boys to watch).

"Hey Zuzu, what'cha doing?" she asks in a casually teasing tone of voice. Zuko stiffens slightly.

"Go away, Katara. We're busy," his 'friend' replies (stalker victim would be more appropriate).

She clucks her tongue in an eerily familiar way (Mom?) and then leans forward to disshevel Zuko's hair violently and saunters off.

Jet chuckles.

"Cute. Your girlfriend?"

"I.. what.. no! That's just Katara," Zuko says, trying to hide his blush by leaning further over the handheld. "I don't get her."

Jet smirks.

"What?"

"I bet you 5 twinkies that I can get her to kiss me," the other boy says and Zuko doesn't like that grin at all.

He figures he should mention Sokka, who is pretty big for a 14 year old or that Katara can hold her own just fine. Instead he pulls the PSP out of Jet's hands and switches it off.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Jet asks indignantly. "I almost beat that level!"

"Low battery," Zuko mutters.
