Look for Me
"Where'd Ty Lee go?" Mai asked, bored.
The older girl return from her short journey inside the palace and sat down on the grass under the tree beside the princess.
"I told her to go hide." Azula said. "She'll convince herself eventually that she's too hard to find."
"You haven't looked for her, have you?"
"No, not really." She said looking down at the firebending book resting on her crossed legs.
Mai laid-back on the grass with her hands behind her head, she stared up at the blue sky filled with white fluffy clouds that she detested. She hated when it was this bright and sunny. She sighed with boredom and didn't catch Azula's glare for interrupting the perfect silence they could only experience when the acrobat wasn't hanging from a tree limb, doing cartwheels or pretending to be an ostrich-horse.
"Azula." Ty Lee whined behind the nearby shrubbery. "You are supposed to be looking for me!"
Lazily Mai turned her head toward the sound of Ty Lee's voice. She rolled her eyes when she spotted the other girl with no difficultly, the shrub doing nothing to obscure her.
"Go hide again." Azula muttered, her eyes never leaving the book as she studied the forms.
"You'll never find me." Ty Lee said enthusiastically.
Mai chuckled softly watching Ty Lee climb up a tree. Azula sat reading her book beside her, Mai knew Ty Lee would come back too soon and wondered if the bubbly girl would realise she was playing by herself.
"Ready or not, here I come!" Azula put her closed book on the ground to Mai's surprise. "Coming Mai?"
"I saw her hide." She said, trying to find an excuse to not participate. She sighed. "I'm coming."
The two friends walked slowly over to the tree Ty Lee had hidden in previously.
"How'd you find me?" Ty Lee asked with a giggle.
"Now that I've played with you I'm going back to my book." Azula said with a sly smile.
"Want to play, Mai?"
And Mai couldn't help, but glare at the princess' back.
