Azula woke up to what she thought would be a perfectly normal day: she would pester Zuzu a little at breakfast, practice her bending for a while, and then order the servants around until she went to bed. But as she walked into the dining hall something seemed off. Uncle was talking to Zuko about some nonsense as usual, but who was that boy dressed in blue sitting across from them? Surely this wasn't Master Piandao's student who would be staying with them; he had no manners what so ever and Piandao's student wasn't supposed to arrive for another week.

"Ah Princess Azula so nice of you to join us!" Iroh said as Azula bowed respectfully towards him: he may be her uncle but he was still the Fire Lord. "You should meet our guest Sokka, he is the one coming to train with Piandao."

"But Uncle was he not set to arrive next week?"

"Ah he was but interestingly enough he and his sister somehow found the long lost Avatar and got a ride here on a flying bison."

"The Avatar is alive? I though great Grandpa Sozin killed all the air benders a hundred years ago."

"I thought so to, but there he was sitting in an ice berg claiming to be an air bender," Sokka said as he swallowed a bight of komodo sausage. "After we took him back to the village it turned out he's the Avatar and he went to the North Pole to learn water bending with my sister."

"Oh and I'm assuming since you didn't go with them: you either can't bend or were just too stupid to realize the limitations of a sword," Azuala said sitting next to Iroh.

"I have no problem not being able to bend," Sokka said slightly grimacing.

"Well look at that two proud non-benders in the palace the snow savage and Zuzu…"

"Hey I can bend!" Zuko shouted spilling his tea.

"Oh yeah that's right you can bend you just aren't very good. I mean honestly Uncle why do you insist on training him? You are the Fire Lord and Zuzu is just some below average bender."

"Azula you may fail to see this but what Zuko lacks in skill he makes up tenfold in heart."

"Ah see there it is even Uncle thinks you are a lousy bender," Azula said smirking.

"I don't have to sit here and take this," Zuko said though gritted teeth.

As Zuko left Iroh turned to Sokka. "You must excuse me as I need to go check on my uncle. Azula you and I will discuss this later."

"As you wish Fire Lord," she said bowing in a slightly mocking manner.

Once Iroh and Zuko left Azula was left to eat her breakfast in peace save the Water Tribe boy awkwardly staring at her as he ate.

"Are you enjoying the view?" She asked noticing his stare.

"I… I was just wondering why you were so mean to them."

"I'm mean to everyone I don't like," she stated coldly.

"But they're your family! Don't you love them?"

"I think it's foolish to feel love towards someone just because you are related to them."

"Maybe because they will always be there for you?"

"Well I'm related to both my father and mother and yet neither one is here for me so…"

"I don't think it counts when they die maybe your uncle and brother can-"

"They didn't die idiot," She said cutting him off.

"Well what happened to them? Why-"

"Listen I don't really want to talk about it and since I don't hate you yet I suggest you leave before my friends get here before you sower my mood."

"Wait if you don't hate me does that-"

"I said you should go." She said frowning.

Sokka got up and left the table without another word bringing the scraps of komodo sausage with him and eyeing the princess nervously. He may need some manners and to learn when to hold his tongue but with luck she could make him much more enjoyable to be around than Fire Lord Uncle or Zuzu, Azula thought to herself. Maybe one day she may even introduce him to Mai and Ty Lee if he didn't prove too annoying.

There is the first chapter I will try to update regularly but tend to get busy so there may not be updates for up to two weeks at a time; if that is the case I'll let you guys know what is going on and why I'm not updating. I will also be writing a non-AU so check out my page if you like this story or are a fan of Sokkla. Let me know what you think or if there is any way to improve it. Till next time cheers.
