xD
MaixZuko does get shuffled back quite a lot. One reason I don't discuss my love with this pairing is because there's so much Mai-hating and it takes its toll after awhile. (Tom-tom, not helping him...that sort of thing).It's like the pairing you keep tucked in your comfy pillow; safe from words...*Uh, or something? XD*
But I'd enjoy discussing it myself with others who would give it a chance...It's similar to SongxZuko; people bash Song so much until you avoid such talk. XP Mai, Song, and Haru especially- and a little of Suki too. X0

Well I guess we all know why Mai was smiling when Zuko's name was mentioned. She did have a crush on Zuko when they were kids. I guess both the Zutara fans and Kataang fans are safe...Zuko couldn't seem to care less about her.

Well, he was like ten and thus I would expect nothing BUT him being all "Ew, girls!" But, that said, it wasn't like he was recoiling from her in disgust and he did rush to get the burning apple off of her head (wtf Azula!) and only stormed off in annoyance at being mocked by Azula and Ty Lee. Again I'd expect nothing less from a ten year old boy, really.
I personally am just excited that we keep getting nods to the ship because that just means that when it's time for them to meet again when they're not ten-years-old we'll deal with the storyline in some way.
And Breathing is very right a lot changes in boys and girls between age 10 and 16-17.

I'm off the fence, Zuko/Mai is my official ship. ^.^ Along with Kohla, of course. Speaking of which, does this pairing have a nifty new name yet? Muko? Mako? Zai?
My need for more background from Mai still isn't quite satisfied, but she's fleshed out enough by her ten-year-old self to make her less annoying. I'm looking forward to her interaction with Zuko.

THAT is exactly what I was thinking! XD Nooooo! I personally prefer Maiko because my brain pooped it out of fangirlness and it was my username for awhile, but Zai sounds cool. " The Maiko ship carries the love of Zai!" Yeahs. XD Call it whatever you prefer. *Hee hee hee* Did this episode give any MaixZuko fanfiction ideas? XD (*Gotterdammerung?* X) ) It did for me; and I think it said something that Zuko would even THINK of Mai OR Ty Lee in a flashback. The writers could have just had it as Azula and Ty Lee and kept Mai away...Just sayin', it seems strange Zuko would think up that scene with Mai when he's exhausted. Don't get me wrong, he didn't DWELL on it...just... thought, is all. Ah, this ship digs me bones. ^.^ *So, so many. XD*

I love little Zuko!!!!!!!! He was just like "Stupid girls!" Lol!
It looked like Azula and Ty Lee were both teasing them and trying to set them up or something. It could be either or, though. Probably more teasing, but I think Ty Lee would try to set them up.... I dunno. It sure was cute, though.
Hm, fan fic ideas? Eh, they'll come. I'm to hyper to write any kind of story now, lol!

Me too. Still spacing over the coolness of the show. XD Ah, but looking at my other post, there were many reasons to add the scene besides Maiko- to show character and such...fangirlness just took over for a minute. XD Ah...
Little Zuko was ADORABLE! xD I think Azula was just teasing *that prodigy!XD*

Yeah, I think Azula was just teasing, but Ty Lee was trying to set them up. So cute! Except that they almost burned Mai's HEAD! But Zuko came to the rescue! As always! (Sigh!)

I didn't really see Ty do much or say anything though; except agree to Azulas whispering...XD Ah, that was awesom how Zuko ran to help! His heroic abilities and qualities were shining through!XD
It was intersting how they kept most of the voice actors for them as kids but not for Zuko (I think?). I liked his childhood voice as well. ^.^

OMG, Breathing. Your new sig!
I can't stop grinning at it. I make my own screencaps, so I'll have to wait for the torrent before I make anything.
I actually dislike portmanteaux (i.e. smushed names) as a rule, but I do profess to having a fondness for "Maiko" not least because it's an actual name. In Japanese, it means "child of Mai."
I think Azula was definitely just teasing because she noticed that Mai liked Zuko and wanted to embarass them. Ty Lee was probably just teasing then too, but I can see her trying to convince Mai to tell Zuko that she likes him/trying to set them up once they were a little older.
I'm still so aglee about this episode, especially because as I was anticipating it and wee!Mai making an appearance all I was imagining just a quick shot of her like walking past and seeing Zuko and blushing and I got that (though he's the one walking past!) and more. SO. Color me very happy.

i like that couple why? because it almost guarentees that Zutara is dead and considering that taang will never happen Kataang wins the war YAY Cute couple anyway but i hope there will be no more zuko focused episodes and we go on...

^ GASP! How dare you! Zuko was cut out of a lot of eps that were focused on the gang! He has every right to have an episode or three be all his own!
Haha, don't worry, I'm just being silly. No hard feelings.
