"Hey, this is Zuko, which you... hopefully already know if you're trying to contact me. Anyway, I'm not here right now, so... well, if you've got something important to say, leave a message and I'll get back to you."

[When Zuko comes back from work, he'll find a package in his mailbox. There's an empty card for him to complete, and a short letter addressed to him.]

This is for you, so you can give Rapunzel and make her your princess, Mister Prom King. No more excuses, just have fun! And congrats again!
Love,
Bianca~ :)

[Guess what's inside?]

[ When Zuko finally comes home, it's late and he's tired and moody. That last part isn't any different than usual but that's not the point. The first thing he thinks when he sees the package is that his uncle ordered tea and he rolls his eyes when he grabs it.

It isn't until he's inside his apartment, collapsed on the couch that he notices that the package is for him and his annoyance fades considerably. He gently turns it over in his hands, frowning with curiosity as he examines it. It was wrapped so neatly and the colors were rather cute.

Figuring he might as well open it now, he sits up on the couch and places the gift in his lap. Carefully, he peels away the wrapping paper and the bow and removes the contents.

Zuko's not sure what he feels when he sees the tiara or when he reads the note. He knows it's good and he knows it isn't often that he feels this way. ]

Bianca, you...

[ She was such a sweet person. Even though his conversation with Midii made him feel unsure about whether or not he should even go to prom, now he knows he definitely has to go. Bianca was right. ]

Geeze.

[ A small smile blossoms on his face and he's glad his uncle isn't around to see it. ]

What did I do to get people like her in my life?

[ He leans back, smiling as he re-reads her note. This was the last thing he expected to happen. He's not sure if Bianca knew he was feeling as ... "happy" as usual or if today just happened to be the day she decided to drop off the gift, but he's grateful either way. She really made his day. ]

Okay, Bianca. You win. You definitely win....
