Rise with the Sun
Title: Rise with the Sun

Rating: PG
Summary: He rises with the sun every day. Written for the high_born challenge.
Zuko is up with the sunrise every morning, dragging Aang into wakefulness with him. He takes the training more seriously than Katara and Toph ever did, really, because he knows just how important this is. The Avatar must master Firebending and defeat the Fire Lord (to Zuko, he is no longer Father, no longer even Ozai; he is the Fire Lord, a faceless, nameless evil to be destroyed).
Toph rises shortly after and watches them, in her own way.
Aang is awkward, trying to adjust to new ways of doing things, much like he was when she first taught him Earthbending. Zuko is… graceful. Not in the way Katara is graceful, but it’s there. This is where he is sure of himself, and it shows.
In her way, she envies Zuko is grace. Earthbending is about stability and power; it’s too solid to be graceful. Firebending is all about emotion, something Twinkletoes seems to be all about. He takes to Firebending fairly quickly.
Toph thinks that, given time, Zuko could be as good a teacher as his uncle.
