Moons (The author): Alright, my first songfic. The song is Prelude 12/21 by AFI. The idea of this song for Maiko originally belonged to ravenhpltc21 (Raven for short) of Youtube. Raven made a Maiko AMV using this song, but you can't find it anymore (or at least I can't). Anyhow the song was perfect for Maiko so... uh yeah.

Disclaimer: Avatar: The Last Airbender belongs to Mike and Bryan! I don't own it in anyway! This is pure fanfiction! This songfic also has nothing to do with the song which I don't own in anyway! I also have no ownership whatsoever involving the Avatar gagstripes or Raven's AMV's. You got that!? You better get that, darnit!

This is what I brought you, this you can is keep.

This is what I brought, you may forget me.

I promise to depart, just promise one thing.

The trail of ink stopped when Zuko looked down at the letter. He still couldn't believe he was doing this. He was going to be considered a traitor in his father's eyes. He knew that. But he knew now, Ozai wasn't his true father. Iroh was. This is what Iroh would want him to do. This is what his uncle would do in his shoes.

The Fire Nation prince took a deep breath and continued to move the pen.

Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.

"I'm sorry, Mai."

"I'm sorry? I'm sorry!? That's all he can say!" Mai screamed louder than she had in her life. Random shuriken, senbon, knifes, daggers, and various other sharp weapons filled the courtyard of the palace including a heavily spiked flail that no one knew where the gothic teenager found.

Ty Lee and Azula were under a tree with exactly eleven weapons clinging to it from Mai's temper. "I dunno, Azula. I just get the feeling Mai is really upset over Zuko leaving." Azula looked at her friend with a sarcastic look that said, "Oh really? It wasn't perfectly clear!?"(1)

The last of Mai's knifes was thrown and the teen fell to her knee, tears beginning to leak. "How, could he betray me like this? He could have at least looked at me when he left! I was willing to give my life for him and he- he…"

This is what I brought you, this you can keep.

This is what I brought, you may forget me.

I promise you my heart just promise to sing.

"He never really wanted to return my love, did he?" Azula shook her head coldly as Mai weep. "ZUKO!"

Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.

Mai was so hurt, Zuko might as well had burned her eye to give her a scar just like his. It was late at night and she was in bed awake. She couldn't cry anymore. Her tears had run out.

The assassin saw Zuko in her mind, as handsome and hot as ever. "Zuko…" She muttered, "I always loved you…"

Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.

"Come on, Zuko." Mai said walking from the shadows of the prison cell, "We all know that's a lie."

The ex-prince's eyes widened, "Mai!"

This is what I thought, I thought you'd need me.

This is what I thought, so think me naive.

I'd promised you a heart, you'd promise to keep.

They looked each other in the eyes for about five seconds. Then Zuko turned and ran to help his new friends. But those five seconds were all that Mai had needed. She saw through the golden eyes and saw deep down he didn't want to do this.

He was just doing what he thought was best for his country; to better his nation, and receive his uncle's forgiveness. She was just getting in his way.

Mai didn't want to do that. Zuko needed his honor that only his good deeds could give him. "Idiot!" She muttered. He was going to die or worse Azula would get him.

It was then that Mai made up her mind. She wouldn't stand in Zuko's way like some stupid girl. She wouldn't let Zuko get hurt by his sister. Then, her heart hoped, they could be together. She drew out a dagger and picked at the lock in the door.

"Uncle chose these locks well." She thought aloud. It was tricky, but she got the door to open. She abandoned the guard inside the cell and ran up to where her love was.

Some guards were trying to cut the line with a large saw. Instantly they were hit with her knifes.

"What are you doing!?"

"Saving the jerk who dumped me."

Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.

"Who's that?" Sokka asked, looking at the dark haired girl taking out guards like there was no tomorrow. "It's Mai!" Zuko exclaimed.

Thank spirits! She still loved him. Like he loved her.

`Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.`

(1) Ok I took this scene from Avatar Gagstrip 71 by Booter-Freak of Devaint Art. It was just so funny I had to use it in this. So all credit for that pun goes to her.

Moons: Don't hurt me please? So anyway, I hope to write a Kataang songfic and then a Sukka songfic last. I wouldn't tell you which songs I will be using, because I'm evil! Muhahaha! And I don't know what song to use for Sukka yet ^^' Suggestions for that song are more than welcome, but I do have a song for Kataang so your songs for that will most likely be ignored. So don't sent them. I'll try to update soon. Review and you get a magical bottle of soda (liter sized!)
