Character(s): Jee/Zuko, hints of Zhao/Zuko, Iroh, various members of Zuko's crew
Content Notes: Zuko is fifteen here. Many thanks to my beta, and to the mods for giving me extra time when this treat got way, way out of hand. Avatar and its characters are not mine.

Summary: Takes place almost a year before season one. Prince Zuko is growing up and discovering new ways to make Lieutenant Jee's life miserable. Just when Jee has had a bad, bad week of Captain Zhao popping in, an invisible thief stealing his things, his crew acting up, and an enemy bird invading his ship, Zuko brings matters to a head in bad, bad way.
