[A/N: Ladies and gentlemen, this is were Azuyo Azula/Kyo starts. And yes I made a OC shipping name.]

———Azula POV———

I was on my way home from my glorious victory at Ba Sing Se, I was walking to the prison. The boy Kyo could know something I missed, little did I know how this would really go.

When I walked in he didn't move from his corner, sitting down in a careless way. He glared his ember eyes at my eyes.

I walked to the other side of the room and his eyes followed with almost pleasure. It was a manner no one had looked at me before, it was almost uncomfortable. "Stop looking at me like that!" I demanded, eyes narrowed.

"Like what?" His smooth voice asked, with a thin smirk. He wasn't scared of me, I could tell that immediately, on the other hand he rather grinned a lot.

"Like... the way you are!" I stumbled for the right word, I didn't know why at the time.

"As you wish, Princess." He grinned again as he looked back to his cell wall.

"Why did you give yourself up?" I asked walking closer to the cell.

"Umm, to get to your gorgeous face." He answered flashing his narrow ember eyes at me, I can't explain why I found myself liking his company.

"The real reason."

"I love it when you're so passionate."

I wanted to stop his odd placed compliments, he had so many signs that he wasn't being sarcastic. But I had information to get, and the only good reason he would give up so easy, "The avatar put you up to this didn't he?" I asked, still managing to keep my smooth voice.

"He's dead. Remember you killed him." Kyo answered but he didn't seem mad, he seemed more like a tease.

"Well yes, Unless you some how think he miraculously survived." I asked, looking for an answer of expression.

He just grinned again and replied; "Nope."

I wrinkled my eyebrows just a little, I originally didn't mean to, but all I could get from this man was that he was too cheerful. "I suppose so." I remarked with a cunning look.

"Well then I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. Your royal hotness." He smirked turning back to look back at the wall.

I gasped, how could he say something like that?!— no! He was being sarcastic! I started to walk out with a mad expression to see him smiling.

I immediately went back and opened my mouth to say something when I found a loss for words. He chuckled and shook his head, I rose an eyebrow and growled before stomping out again.

He was just frustrating and confusing.

———Mia POV———

After the defeat I found myself in a Fire Nation ship again with Zuko, only it wasn't really a Fire Nation ship. Zuko and I hadn't had the time to talk about what we said before. But I knew one thing, things were going great.

Except for my brother, I didn't know where he would be. Well I could guess, and it was probably in Azula's arms.

But putting my mind back to where I was, I was walking with Zuko, Aang still hadn't waken up. Zuko had been planning with Sokka and Hokada the whole time, we talked small talk when I saw him, and we finally got alone time.

"So what's up?" I asked, as I broke the silence, I was starting to wonder if Zuko would bring up the stuff at Ba Sing Se again.

He looked to the side with a sigh; "I got a lot on my mind. If what I did was right. It's been three years since I was home, and now I don't think I'll see it again."

This was my chance! I walked closer and put a hand in his soft brown hair. "You will. I know you will." I said, with a small grin, he didn't return it but he did look at me.

I, as usual stared in the endless gold circles in his eyes. I jumped a little to hear him say. "Do you hear something?"

I turned to see Aang limping away as fast as he could.

"His awake!" I smiled as I started to run faster at him.

He threw a small air wave at me, and then I remembered what this looked like. I was wearing Fire Nation armor, Zuko was wearing the armor he wore before when he had a ship.

"Wait come back!" Zuko shouted as I got back up.

Aang threw a blast of air, knocking me down again.

Zuko defended himself with fire bending, Aang then threw a punch of air. Zuko threw fire through it, Aang scurrying up the stairs and I could see how disappointed Zuko looked.

"Huh why am I so bad at being good?!" He shouted like he was about to pull his hair.

We ran up the stairs to see him standing in front of the Gaang. "Momo?" He asked as his favorite lemur was surrounded by people who he once knew as his allies.

"Twinkle Toe's, that's gotta be you." Toph said, as she and everyone else walked up with smiles.

"Aang, you're awake!" Katara gasped.

"Are you sure? I feel like I'm dreaming." Aang replied as Zuko and I stood behind him.

"You're not dreaming! You're finally awake!" Katara hugged him while Sokka walked up.

"Aang, good to see you back with the living, buddy." Sokka said as he still had his full helmet on so you could barely hear what he was saying.

"Sokka?" He asked, still in a daze.

"Uh oh, somebody catch him I think his gonna-" Toph warned as he started to collapse.

Just in time Zuko caught him, I could see what that was like. The man who chased him all around the world finally had him in his hands right before he past out. Hehe.

We gave Aang space and the next day we would explain what was going on. "After what happened at Ba Sing Se Mia and Zuko asked to come along. We didn't see the problem and got you to safety. We flew back to Camelion Bay where we found my father and the other Water Tribe men. The Earth King decided he wanted to travel the world in disguise, so he set off alone. Well not completely alone. Soon the bay was overrun with fire nation ships rather then fight them all we captured a single ship and made it our disguise. Since then we've been traveling west, we crossed the serpents pass a few days ago. We've seen a few Fire Nation ships but non have bothered us." Sokka explained as we ate breakfast.

"So what now?" Aang asks with a tired voice.

"Zuko has helped us work on a modified version of the invasion plan." Hakoda relived.

"It's Sokka's invasion plan." Katara bickered as she hovered over her food.

"Yes. Sokka's plan. We won't be able to mount a massive invasion without the earth king's support. The solar eclipse will still leave the Fire Nation vulnerable."

"So we're planning a smaller invasion. Just a rage tag team of our friends and allies from around the Earth Kingdom. We all ready ran into Pipsqueak and the Duke." Sokka said, with a huge smile.

"Good to see you again, Aang." Pipsqueak said, with the Duke on his shoulder.

"And the best part is, the eclipse isn't even our best advantage. We have a secret... you." Sokka whispered over to him.

"Me?" Aang quickly asked back.

"Yup. The whole world thinks you're dead. Isn't that great?!" Sokka asked, with excitement and a huge smile. 

"The world thinks I'm dead? How is that good news?! That's terrible!" Aang sighed, as he held his head, barely standing with his staff.

"Aang, the Fire Nation won't hunt you down or expect you on the Day of Black Sun. It's an advantage we haven't had." Zuko explained with his jaw practically clenched.

"No, no, no, you have no idea, this is so messed up. And how do we know we can trust you?!" Aang tried to back away, only to have a chill breeze go up his wounded spine.

"Aang, Zuko has already shown his loyalty." Katara defended, making Zuko more at ease. Not too far away a Fire Nation ship was coming up.

"I'll handle this. The Avatar is back." Aang opened his glider to grown in pain again.

"Aang, wait! Remember they don't know we're not Fire Nation." Sokka said, grabbing his arm.

"Everyone just stay calm, Bato and I will take care of this." Hokada said, before he and Bato put helmets on to meet them.

Zuko and I went inside the ship, they would recognize Zuko like a sore thumb. After the Fire Nation soldiers were almost back to their ship Toph ran out. "They know!"

Zuko immediately ran out while Sokka ran in with Aang. I couldn't do anything alone with Aang or Sokka. Aang was constantly wanting to go out and fight, while Zuko lit boulders and Toph shot them.

"I'm gonna give us some cover." We heard Katara yelled before fog came all around us. We stopped Aang a few more times before he had enough.

"I can't just stand by and do nothing!" He snapped before running out.

We immediately ran after him and grabbed his shoulder. "Aang, no! You're still hurt, and you have to stay secret. Just let us handle this."

"Fine!" Aang snapped as he grabbed back his glider that I didn't realized I held.

"How we doing?" Toph asked.

"Things couldn't get much worst." Sokka replied to the blind awesome girl. Just then the giant sea monster popped up and hissed at us. "The universe just loves proving me wrong doesn't it?!" Sokka yelled as he put his arms out.

"You make it too easy."

The sea beast instead of fighting us, wrapped itself around the other ship. "Thank you the universe."

"Hey, Aang. We're going into town to find some dinner." Sokka asked, as we all walked in his room that night.

"Well, I am pretty hungry, maybe dinners a good idea." Aang replied after hearing his stomach growl.

"Here, tie this around your head. It will cover your arrow." Sokka walked over and handed him a red headband to have Aang push it away.

"I'm not going out if I can't wear my arrow proudly."

"Aang, be practical they can't know you're alive." Zuko said, shoving the headband at him.

Aang only looked away, he was still not used to Zuko being on our side. Or should I say their side. And Aang was going through that faze.

"You guys go ahead without us, we'll catch up with you."

We went to a random restaurant, looks are not important. As we waited for our food I figured this was a good time as any to ask Zuko what I had been meaning to ask just to have him say it again. We were standing alone, with the Gaang except for Aang. "Zuko, all those things you said in the catacombs. Did you mean it?" I asked with a curious tone, but inside I was screaming. (In joy-more like nervous.)

"Yeah." He replied with a slight grin.

Even though it was a slight gesture, it meant the world to me. I found myself looking at the ground when I felt warm soft hands gently grab my cheeks. I then felt soft lips against mine, only to have Sokka clear his throat and ruin the moment.

I decided to completely ignore them and quickly went back to kissing Zuko.

"Great." Katara remarked with her arms folded as we kept going.

When we got back Aang was gone, we told Hokada we'd meet up later after we found Aang. It wasn't till morning when we finally did, on crescent island.

"You're okay!" Katara gasped and hugged Aang, who was laying on the ground.

Zuko and I still stood above them all as they went in for a group huge.

"I have so much to do." Aang said, embracing all of them, it felt weird. I felt so out of the loop, specially without Kyo.

"I know, but you'll have our help." Katara replied picking her head back out and seeing the awkward picture. She smirked before opening a space for us, we just looked at each other. "Come on, you two deserve it."

With unsure feet we went in for the hug, Aang and Sokka clearly didn't think we fit.

"You didn't think you could get out of training just by coming to the fire nation did you?" Toph grinned.

"And you got to work on fire bending." Zuko added.

"What about the invasion?" Aang looked over to Sokka.

"We'll join up with my dad and the invasion force on the day of the eclipse."

"Hey what's- oh it's your glider." Toph pulled Aang's now destroyed glider out of the water.

"That's okay. If someone saw it. It would give away my identity. It's better for now that no one thinks I'm alive." Aang grabbed it and took it the volcano's side. He then stuck it in the ground and left it. We were now going to sneak through the fire nation till the eclipse, I wondered what would change.

——————

"I think I see a cave below." Aang said, as we were flying in a Fire Nation island under cover as a cloud.

"Shhh. Keep quit." Sokka quickly snapped. We landed and saw that there was no one there. "Great job with the cloud camo but next time let's decide keep ourselves as the kind of cloud who knows how to keep its mouth shut." Sokka said, as he took cover behind a rock, the rest of us just stood there.

"Yeah we wouldn't want a bird to hear us chating up there and turn us in." Toph scoffed.

"Hey! We're in enemy territory, those are enemy birds." Sokka pointed up to one next to his head. It jumped on and made the cutest bird noise.

We all had to laugh, even Zuko, just a little.

"Right... that puffin-crow is a spy for the father lord." Zuko mocked, shaking his head with the smirk still on his face.

"Did you just say father lord?" I asked, with a chuckle.

"No." He quickly answered.

As we were walking to the cave, Sokka jumped in front for some reason. "Well this is it. This is how we'll be living until the invasion begins. Hiding in cave after cave, after cave, after cave." Sokka lowered his head each time he said "after cave."

"Sokka, we don't need to become cave people. What we need is some new clothes." Katara replied, I sat in a corner of the interior.

"Yeah, blending in is better then hiding out. If we get fire nation disguises we'll be just as safe as we would be in a cave." Aang added with a smile.

"Plus they have real food out there. Does anyone want to sit in the dirt and eat cave hoppers?" Toph hit the rock of the cave to make hoppers jump out.

Three stared to jump towards me, and you know that feeling when a cockroach comes towards you? Yeah that's what I felt. I immediately squealed and ran to Zuko and jumped in his arms bridal style. Meanwhile Momo was already trying to eat them.

"Looks like we got out voted sport. Let's get some new clothes." Sokka said pointing a finger up.

"You can get down now." Zuko told me as I held tight to his neck.

"Nah." I quickly replied with a smirk, my eyes closed at his neck.

——————

We found a house not to far away drying their clothes. We all got clothes, Zuko got the same thing, it was his destiny to get that outfit.

I got a red dress with white sleeves and dark red tights. And if you ask me I thought I looked good, but than I always think that.

"Tada, normal kid!" Aang said, after putting on a headband.

"Umm I should probably wear shoes but then I won't be able to see as well. Sorry shoes." Toph pulled them down and popped the souls off.

"Finally a stylish shoe for the blind earth bender." She sighed after Sokka just got smacked in the face by her souls.

"How do I look?" Katara asked after changing.

Aang looked at her with lovely crushing eyes, then to realize her necklace. "Uhh your mom's necklace."

"Oh.. oh yeah, I guess it's pretty obvious water tribe isn't it." She replied slowly taking it off.

"You look good, Zuko." I commented as he come out.

"Yeah you do." Katara added with a suspicious smile.

I immediately looked at her, did I just get vibes she likes him???

"Huh thanks." He replied, scratching his head hot-n-not knowing what else to say.

"I used to visit my friend Kuzon here a hundred years ago. So everyone just stay cool, or as they say in the Fire Nation; Stay flamin." Aang said, as we stood in a corner of a town.

"They don't say that. I've never heard anyone in my entire life say that!" Zuko commented with a bitter tone.

"Greeting, my good hotmen." Aang waved at a random dude.

"Huh hi, I guess." He replied when we were almost past him.

Zuko was wearing a hood, it made him look even better.

"Oh we're going to a meat place?" Aang asked as we were about to walk in.

"Come on, Aang everyone here eats meat. Even the meat." As Sokka said this we turned to see a cow hippo creature eating meat.

"You guys go head. I'll just get some lettuce out of the garbage."

When we came back out we looked everywhere for Aang, but not the school. We decided to go back to the cave and wait for him there.

"I wonder what could have happened to him." Katara sighed as she paced around the cave.

"Katara settle down, I'm sure Aang is fine." Zuko replied as I sat next to him.

"Are you sure?? He has a habit of getting into trouble. Like that time he got captured by Zhao, or when we were at that temple in the Fire Nation."

Zuko looked down, all of them had something to do with him. I could guess what he was thinking and it was probably about his choice to betray his sister.

"What's going on in that pretty mind of your's?" I asked as I laid my head on his chest.

"I wonder what my uncle would think of me right now? You think he'd be happy?" He looked down at a content light smile.

"Yeah I think he would. It was what he wanted you to do." I replied. "But that's not it is it?"

"I'm starting to see that I just want my father's love, and that he could never restore my honor, it's something I have to do myself." Everyone would hear us talking, but for some reason we didn't care.

"I'm glad you finally understand that." I said, before Sokka yawned and broke my train of thought for some reason.

More time went by and Katara finally sat down. "You know those days when you want to kill everyone. I don't feel like killing you." I stated with a grin as I laid on Zuko's lap.

"Me neither." He slightly chuckled.

Yeah that's right, I just made Zuko laugh! My joy of making Zuko happy was short lasted when I heard Katara huff and pout.

I turned my head to see she was almost staring at us with her arms folded. I tried to ignore the fact that Katara might be getting jealous and closed my eyes as Zuko ran his fingers through my hair.

I woke up to Katara saying; "Where have you been?! We've been worried sick!"

"I got invited to play with some kids after school." Aang replied.

I stood up and shook my head to make sure I was fully awake.

"After what?!" Sokka squealed.

"I enrolled in a Fire Nation school, and I'm going back tomorrow." Aang answered like there was no problem.

"Enrolled in what?!" Sokka shouted again.

"You what?!" Zuko hissed, almost smoke through his ears.

"Aang, I'm trying to be mature and not immediately shoot you down on your idea but it sounds really terrible." Sokka said after Aang explained his plan.

"Exactly! And you got me, you don't need to go to school." Zuko bickered.

"We got our outfits, what do you need to go to school for?" Toph added with a mocking tone.

"Ever minute I'm in that class room I'm learning new things about the Fire Nation. I already have a picture of Fire Lord Ozai. And here's one I made out of noodles." Aang pulled out two pictures of Ozai.

"It's impressive, I admit but I still think it's too dangerous." Sokka replied with his head high.

"I guess we'll never find out about the secret river then. It goes right to the firelord's palace. We were suppose to learn about it in class tomorrow-" Aang teased, knowing Sokka would fall for it.

"Umm I am a fan of secrets rivers. Fine let's stay a few more days."

"Flameo hot men!" Aang said in excitement.

"Are you crazy. He could get caught and it's not good for us to stay in one place." Zuko said with a cautious tone.

"Oh umm, sorry Zuko but nobody asked your opinion. And you haven't been here long enough to have a say." Aang said before running off.

"Flamey oh?" Sokka asked Katara.

She just shrugged and had a blank look.

"Would he just stop saying that." Zuko sighed.

———————

The next day Aang came back and told us he needed his parents there. Zuko took the opportunity to tell Aang to stop but he didn't listen. Next thing I knew I was sitting in front of the headmaster acting like a mother. "Thank you for coming, Mr. and Mrs?" He asked to Sokka who was now wearing the beard.

"Fire, Wang Fire. This is my wife; Sapphire." Sokka answered in the most manly man voice he could come up with.

"Sapphire Fire, good to meet you." I said, with the most tired smile I could come up with.

"Mr. and Mrs... Fire. Your son has been enrolled for two days and his already causing problems. His argued with his history teacher, disrupted music class, and roughed up my star pupil." The headmaster hated to say our names. Ha.

"That doesn't sound like my Kuzon." I gasped as I put a hand to my mouth. It worked with Katara it might work with me.

"That's what any mother would say ma'am but nonetheless you are fore warned, if he acts up one more time I'll have him sent to reform school! By which I mean the coal mines. Are we clear?" I looked down at Aang who looked like a guilty child.

"Don't you worry Mr, headmaster. I'll straighten this boy out something fierce. Young man as soon as we get home you gonna get the punishment of a life time!" Sokka- Mr. Fire yelled in his 'son's' face.

"That's what I like to hear." The head master said before we all walked away overly tough looking, or trying to look pregnant.

——Azula POV——

I was in the Capital still on edge, I had a hunch the avatar was still alive, I would have to get something out of that Kyo again. But to be honest I was avoiding him, the last time I talk to him I couldn't explain why I got like that. This time I wasn't going to let the pathetic part of me take over. I wasn't going to let him win.

I opened the door to have Kyo look at me from head to toe. And for a reason I couldn't admit to I liked it, he was flattering. Something I hadn't felt before.

"You look good, Princess." His smooth voice said, with a light beautiful grin.

I realized what I just said to myself and pushed them out. "I came for information, Kyo." I stated as I walked closer. I was trying to be intimidating, but it didn't seem to work around him. On the contrary it seemed like he enjoyed it, and that was unusual.

"Oh, what do you want to know." He asked, standing up across from me.

"Is there any way the avatar could have survived?" I asked, putting a hand on the bars.

"Like I said before, no." He put his head down walking towards me like he was thinking. He looked back up at me, we were rather close now, he shook his head again.

"Your lying." I hissed, I didn't want him to get any closer but I couldn't back down.

"What ever you say, princess." He said, with a head tilt before fixing his hair. He had silky long brown hair to his shoulders, a sharp chin, and his ember eyes glimmered in the light, it looked good I must say. "Is that all that's on your mind?" He asked putting his hands in his pockets.

"What?!" I gasped, he couldn't possibly know what I was thinking of.

"War." He grinned, with a mischievous tone.

"No, I think of other things." I replied looking to the side, I wasn't quite lying.

"Like how gorgeous I am?" He looked like he wanted to laugh at his own words, but I stepped back with a gasp.

"No! Other things." I defended, to be honest when I thought of him I did think of how good he looked.

"I dare you. Ask me something not about the war."

"No, that's pathetic!" I answered, there was no way I was going to ask about his personal life, why would I? I was there for information, nothing more.

"Is it? Look at it this way, princess; after the war is over, either you or the avatar win it doesn't matter right now, what would you do?" He asked, getting closer and putting his hand through the bars.

"That doesn't matter." I quickly replied, I couldn't explain why he wasn't afraid of me.

"This is gonna be harder than I thought it was." He chuckled to himself, but I might be able to use this to get him afraid of me again.

"Fine. Where did you live before this?"

"The Earth Kingdom east colonies." He quickly replied, with that unbreakable mischievous grin, that was starting to get to me.

"Why did you live there?" I asked with a bitter tone.

"The waters." He answered.

"Waters? What waters. You lived in the desert." I asked again, he couldn't be serious.

"I was misinformed." He replied, how could you be misinformed about that? Then I realized he was playing with me, and I found myself giggling that he almost tricked me.

"My turn. You have a boyfriend?" He asked, making me turn red immediately, why would he ask that?

"I'm not answering that!" I almost shouted, he couldn't really be asking me that.

"Served me right for asking a direct question."

———Mia POV———

When we got back I stretched from all the walking and turned to see Zuko looking at me with an eyebrow up. I looked down and realized I was still wearing my pregnant padding. Scandal!! A child with Sokka da da dua! "Yeah... I'll go take this off." I said, before running off as quick as possible.

"That settles it! No more school for you young man!" Sokka said 'fatherly' when I walked back in.

"I'm not ready to leave, I'm having fun for once. Just being a normal kid. You don't know what it's like Sokka, you get to be normal all the time."

"Ah ha." Toph mocked to Aang's comment.

"If you really want to learn Aang, then stay here and learn fire bending!" Zuko hissed, he was clearly sick of this.

"Listen guys those kids at school are the future of the fire nation. If we want to change this place for the better we need to show then a little taste of freedom." Aang said, trying to convince a chief's son and a Fire Lord's son.

"What could you possibly do for a country of deprived little fire monsters." Sokka asked.

"Okay, now that's offensive." Zuko growled with his arms still folded.

"I'm going to throw them; a secret dance party!" Aang smiled before dancing in front of us.

"Go to your room!" Sokka ordered in his 'father' voice.

"Hahaha!" I laughed, it was a funny scene to me.

——Kyo POV——

"Yeah, and then my friend looked over to me and then kicked the man in the balls." I said, before Azula chuckled, I didn't tell her it was Jet, a strong Fire Nation hater.

"Serves him right." She laughed holding her stomach.

"And my sister started kicking his head with her small toes when he fell."

She shook her head one more time with a small chuckle. "Cute."

"Yeah she was." I sighed, before remembering what was probably going on with her. They were probably hiding in a cave.

"You miss her don't you?" Azula asked, seeming generally curious, I managed to get her talking normal for this long.

It was a huge success.

"Yeah, she's my sis, you know. I suppose it's Iike you and Ty Lee." She didn't answer she just looked at the ground.

"Do you want to get out of here? It seems like you don't." She asked, with a head tilt and curiosity in her gold eyes.

"To be honest, I like the company so it ain't all that bad." I replied, with a grin.

"Which side on this war are you really on?"

"Hey we said no questions about the war." I replied not giving her an answer.

"I made no such promises." She said, with a smirk.

"Oh yeah, I forgot you're a conniving beauty." She scoffed at my little comment.

"What did you do before you met the avatar?" She asked, getting around the war questions.

"I was a drunkerd." I replied with a huge grin, I was pleased with myself for using my favorite romance movie quotes. And apparently so was Azula because she giggled a little.

Best feeling in the freaken world was making her laugh.

"Huh ma'am you've been here for a hour." The guard stuttered poking his head in.

She just turned her head to him and he started to shake.

"Well I suppose his right. Goodbye, Kyo." She said, with a wave before walking out.

Yeah that just happened, she just might like me.

———Mia POV———

"I can't believe we're throwing a dance party. It seems so silly." Sokka said as we were getting the cave ready.

"It's stupid! We should just leave." Zuko hissed as he lit candles.

"Don't think of it as a dance party, but as a cultural event celebrating the art of fancy foot work."

"They're coming everyone stop bending!" Toph yelled at everyone.

"What are we even doing here?!" Zuko groaned at me.

"What are we all doing here? In the universe?" I replied getting him even more aggravated.

The dance went on and Aang had to show them how to dance. "Who knew twinkle toes could dance." Toph chuckled as she drank like it was alcohol.

"Wow they look pretty good together." Sokka commented to Aang dancing with some girl.

"If that's what you like." Katara replied with a annoyed tone.

Meanwhile I was too busy getting drunk on the tea, it what I always did at these parties. In a corner. Getting drunk on the floor.

Zuko sat next to me as I burped before I realized who I was next to. I immediately tried I act like that didn't happen and apparently I crushed the cup I held.

"Here." He said, handing me another cup, with a grin.

"Thanks." I said after chugging again.

"You maybe- wan- never mind." I looked over to Zuko who was now shaking his head, was he going to ask me to dance? I didn't want to dance parade so I didn't push it.

...But...

"Zuko, you want to do that stuff.... what they're doing?" I forced myself, looking in the green tea.

I only heard a shocked pleased sigh before; "yeah, I'd like that, Mia." Before I knew it Zuko was standing up and reaching his hand out to me with those gleaming eyes.

I smirked at my awkwardness, taking his hand and dancing it away with Zuko around me. I couldn't have a care in the world when I'm with him. Only thing I cared about was him.

Time went on after the slow dance and we sat back in our gloomy places.

Katara and Aang were dancing when I looked up but when I looked back up I saw Katara reaching her hand down at Zuko. "I don't know Katara- I don't really want to dance." Zuko stumbled at a smiling Katara.

I wanted to break the conversation right then and there but I suppose that would be rude. But hey, I was getting the worst feeling!

Zuko took her hand and they started dancing. She was doing water bending moves while he did fire bending moves. I started drinking even more then Before, Katara was trying to steal my man! Only I wasn't the fighting type so I just watched in silence crying inside.

"His the one we want! The boy with the headband!" The headmaster yelling broke my thoughts on Zatara, or whatever you call it.

I forgot how we got out of there but I was too busy being jealous to care.

"We're safe, Sokka. You can take off the mustache now." Katara said, when we were on Appa flying away.

"Oh no I can't. It's permanently glued to my skin." He replied stroking his bread.

"Would you like me to burn it off?" Zuko grinned, while I made sure to sit next to him, meanwhile Sokka was trying to take it off as quick at possible.

"Wait a go dancey pants. I think you really did help those kids, you taught them to be free." Toph said, as I held on Zuko's arm making sure Katara saw.

"I don't know it was just a dance party that's all." Aang replied.

"Well that was some dance party, Aang." Katara leaned over and kissed Aang on the cheek, I immediately sighed in some relief.

"Flameyo sir. Flame-y-oh-." Sokka clapped still in his 'father' voice.

———Azula POV———

I decided the best thing, even if the avatar was dead was to hunt down my brother. And if the avatar was alive he would be traveling with him, so it was the perfect opportunity. I went to an abandoned dock to meet an assassin with a very good reputation. I didn't stand there for very long before he took a few steps towards me with a metal leg and hand. And a painted eye on his forehead.

"I've hear about you. They say you're good at what you do, you can prove that to me by finding my brother. And end him."

[A/N: things do get awkward between Zuko, Katara, and Mia. I'm not a Zutarian, I'm a Kataanger, but I do find myself wishing Zuko had someone who didn't dump him so much!]
