It was a joyous occasion when the prince of the Fire Nation returned home from his banishment. The entire nation it seemed was at the docks to greet Zuko. It was a surprise to his uncle, Iroh, who had traveled with him for the duration of his banishment, and for Lord Ozai to return honor to his son and welcome him home with open arms was extremely out of character for the Fire Lord, but so was declaring the return of all his armies and ending the war.

"Zuko keep your eyes open for anything suspicious and don't get to comfortable at home. This is very unlike your Father." Iroh whispered to his nephew who turned to him and offered a worried glance around.

"Don't worry Uncle I know that nothing is permanent and one should never be off their guard. You have taught me well." Zuko whispered back to his Uncle as they walked down the gang plank.

After a month of peacefulness, Lord Ozai was found murdered in his bed. The Nation went into chaos until Iroh took up the throne as regent for either his niece or his nephew which ever he choose and felt would be more capable to rule the nation. Although many citizens believed that he would pick his nephew, Prince Zuko, because of the relationship he shares with him.

Under his kind leadership the Nation slowly began to recover and pick up the pieces, that was left behind by the previous Fire Lords.

The following week Iroh was walking down the hallway to his room for a small nap before he went to the many meetings that day and heard a ruckus coming from Zuko's room.

Walking down the hall he stood outside of the door and listened to what was said.

"I'll be Fire Lady, Uncle would be a fool to put you on the throne!" he heard Azula state.

"No, Uncle has always liked me more so he will put me on the throne, besides I'm next in line anyways I would have to die before you would sit upon my throne." Zuko replied haughtily.

"I could arrange that." Azula said menacingly.

Iroh opened the door to stop the bickering siblings when the door was pushed shut by a bolt of Azula's blue lightning. Zuko responded with a stream of fire aimed at his sister that she had no difficulty dodging. Azula flipped towards him so that fire bending was impossible and they had to rely on hand-to-hand combat, which was a mistake for her, because where she was a prodigy fire bender, Zuko was a prodigy in hand-to-hand combat.

Zuko did a spin kick and sent Azula flying into his desk breaking several things lying on top of it. Azula stood up shakily and sent a bolt of lightning at him that hit his shoulder and sent him flying into his dresser which broke against his weight. Zuko ran up and punched Azula so that she went flying into his bed breaking that as well.

Iroh suddenly burst into the room throwing fire at the both the siblings and yelled at them to knock it off. "Neither of you will get the throne until I die unless you stop this senseless fighting! Azula go to your room now! Zuko you know better than this! Both of you will be punished for this!" Iroh yelled at them as though they were three years old. "Zuko in one hour you are to come to the throne room with Azula to receive your punishments." Iroh said after he had calmed down enough to speak in an indoor voice.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

"Send them in!" Iroh thundered from behind the ceremonial wall of fire.

"Uncle we apologize for our foolish behavior." Azula says as she and Zuko kowtow to Iroh.

"I do not wish to hear it." Iroh said then his expression softened. "It pains me to punish you, but it must be done….. Azula you are to wear a dress until the day you turn eighteen… and you must join me for karaoke night for the next three months… Zuko you must find a bride before the day you turn twenty-three in five months."

Zuko and Azula looked floored at their punishments.

"Uncle, must I really wear a dress? I mean I can handle the karaoke night, but the dress?"

"Yes, Princess Azula, you must wear the dress until you turn eighteen." Iroh said in a voice louder than needed. "You are dismissed."

Out in the hall Zuko turned to Azula, "Do you wanna switch?"

"I would if I could." Azula said turning to him.

"Don't you think Uncle has lost it a little in his old age?"

"Maybe just a little." Azula replied.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

When Zuko retuned to his room later that evening, he walked into what looked like a minefield and cringed.

'Where am I supposed to sleep tonight?' he asked himself.

Walking around the room to see exactly what was broken he suddenly remembers that he had hidden his Blue Spirit mask in his destroyed dresser. Hurrying over to the wreckage he sorts through the debris and find bits and pieces of the blue mask.

"Damn you Azula!" he yelled out to no one in particular.
