This idea just kinda popped into my head.
Prolly a oneshot… If I can think of more ideas I'll write more.
Basically Azula and Katara switch places and it's the scene from the guys p.o.v.
R & R please!
Enjoy.
Me: There are many brother and sister issues… But you have never seen issues until you meet Azula and her brother Zuzu… Errr… Zuko.
Zuko: HEY! DON'T CALL ME THAT!
Me: Sorry 'bout that… Anyways, on the other hand, the relationship with Sokka and Katara is pretty crazy as well.
Sokka: I am definitely NOT crazy.
Me: We'll take your word on it for now. But we have to wonder. What would happen if we switched things around a little?
Azula: Switched things around?
Me: Exactly!!! For now, it's time for a new installment of SISTER SWAP!
Azula: Ohhh… no no no… If you think I'm gonna be that idiot's sister… think again. He probably has even less honor than Zuko here. At least Zuko WAS a prince.
Katara: For once, I have to agree with you Azula. I don't want a brother with a face that looks like fried ham!
Zuko and Sokka: HEEEYYY!!!
Me: Well TOO BAD! I'm saying what I'm writing and I'm writing what I'm saying and I say… Sokka's new sister is now Azula and Zuko's new sister is now Katara!
Sokka's Story-
"HEY SASA! Get your lazy self up! We don't have all day to catch the Avatar!"
Sasa? What the heck is Sasa? And catching the Avatar? Since when are we catching the Avatar? Isn't it the fire nation that wants to capture Aang? I looked up to see a big smirk on Azula's face. AZULA!? Oh right, she's my sister now.
"Whaddya want!"
Oops, wrong thing to say. She crouched down and grabbed me by my shirt and yanked me out of my sleeping bag. "I want… to catch… the Avatar!"
Now that was a pretty strange request. She wants to catch the Avatar, yet we're traveling with the Avatar. "Hate to break it to you sis, but the Avatar is pretty much right behind you."
She whipped around instantly. I peeked over her shoulder just to make sure I was actually telling the truth. You don't want Azula to catch you lying. She'd probably burn a hole through my head if I did. Sure enough, Aang was right behind her… sleeping.
Azula turned towards me and demanded, "What is this! Avatar playboy!? What's he doing with his clothes off?!"
Wow… she really is off today. "He's sleeping. He sleeps with his clothes off. Is that a problem to you?"
"Not anymore it won't be. After I finish him off, there won't be a sleeping Avatar. There will be a DEAD AVATAR!" After finishing this, she started creating a blue fireball in her palm.
Now I couldn't have any of this. She was about to kill Aang. It was time I intervened. "Sloow down there Azula. That would be a pretty bad mistake if you killed him now."
"What are you talking about? You want me to kill him when he's awake and airbending?"
She doesn't get it, what's with girls? No sense of logic. "Nooo…don't do that… Why not bring him alive to your fath…" Wait… if Azula is my sister… that means…
Azula still with the flaming blue ball in her hand asked, "What did you say?"
Ohh man… She's not gonna be happy once she finds out that her dad is no longer a fire lord honcho. "Well Azula… Tell me why you have to capture and kill the Avatar." This should make her come to her senses.
She looked at me with a face that probably meant something pretty negative. "Why I have to capture the Avatar?! Are you a brainless hogmonkey or what?! We have to capture and kill the Avatar, because it benefits the fire nation!"
Fire Nation…I had to get her to remember that her father is just the leader of a small water tribe "Oh… Well… What's in it for you then?"
"Me? When I capture and kill the Avatar. My father will be prouder than he already is of me. Not to mention the many stories that would arise from this glorifying feat. Fire Nation will always remember Azula, Avatar Slayer"
Got her. "Well, why would your father be proud that you just killed the Avatar? I mean, your father only is a water tribe leader."
"Does it matter?! I don't need my father's support or compliments. The only thing I need is the support of the Fire Nation."
Darn it. She doesn't care about her father… Hmmm… I looked at the still sleeping Avatar. I had to think of a plan to save Aang. "Well… you know… once you kill the Avatar, it won't matter."
She looked at me with crooked eyebrows. "And why is that Sasa?"
"Because…He'll just be reincarnated into another life! Yea! There will always be an Avatar afterwards!" Immagenius! She has no way of getting out of this.
"Even better we kill him then!" She said in a delighted tone. "I gotta hand it to you Sokka. Sometime even you surprise me."
What is she talking about? "Why is it better to kill him now?"
"Well think about it. All we have to do is kill the Avatar three more times. And then we'll have a firebending Avatar!"
I was getting pretty desperate now. Aang can't just die in front of me. No… he can't die period! I had to find a way to get out of this. "Why the killing anyways? You have to learn to relax and enjoy life sometimes…You're wasting the best years of your life obsessed with murdering a 12 year old boy?"
"What are you tal…"
I have to keep going to get her to rethink her life. "I mean. Look at you Azula, your still a teenager and you're already heading towards a criminal life! Killing the Avatar will look HORRIBLE on your resume."
"Buut I…"
"Ah ah ahh… think about it. Half the world will be pretty pissed at you for killing their only hope. And think of the press! They'll be all over you. You won't have any free time at all!"
"Well…"
"And what about your honor!? Killing someone while they're sleeping is not very honorable at all. Forget attacking someone behind their back! You're basically taking candy away from Tom Tom. Well, you'd be killing Aang when he's sleeping… but… YOU GET THE POINT!"
"You know what Sasa?"
Here it comes!
"You're absolutely right!"
YESSS!!!
"I never thought of it before but you made me come to my senses."
SUCCESS!!!
"Instead of ME killing the Avatar. I'll have YOU kill the Avatar. And then once you do that… I can kill you!"
What… did she just say?! "What the…"
"Perfect! It's foolproof! We'll just pretend the Avatar knows firebending already! Once YOU kill the Avatar. Everyone will blame YOU! And half of the world will be mad at YOU! And YOU will have no honor! And then I'll kill YOU and make it seem like YOU got in a fight with the Avatar who so happened to burn a hole through YOU! I'll just be a witness! Sorry Sasa… but this is lif…"
((((SMACK!))))
Azula dropped like a giant library in a desert. Behind where she was standing stood Aang with his staff. I just stared at home with my jaw dropped.
"You two are waay too loud. What does it take for a monk to get some sleep here?"
Zuko's Story-
Why am I always the one with the bad luck and a bad life? I always have to work so hard to try to get something done. Sometimes I don't even get it done. My Uncle wouldn't know anything. How can he always stay so positive and optimistic? But he doesn't know what I'm going through. My only hope is to capture the Avatar and restore my honor. But how can I possibly capture the Avatar? He's slipped out of my grasp at least four times now. Why can't I be more gifted in firebending? Father was right. Some people are born lucky. I'm just lucky I was born.
"Zuko? Are you awake?"
Great…she's awake. "What do you want Katara!?"
"Are you okay Zuko? You were just shivering and shaking."
Couldn't she see I wanted to be left alone? "No I'm not okay… Go back to sleep."
"Do you want to talk Zuko? It helps to let your feelings out sometimes."
She didn't understand. "I don't want to let my feelings out! The last time I did that I…I…" I slowly brought my fingers to my face. The last time I let my feeling out. I got this; The mark of an outcast.
"Zuko. I'm here to help. You can't brood on negative thoughts all the time. Life is just to precious to be just wasted away on things that bring us down."
"You don't understand what I've been through! You don't even have anything to worry about!"
"I worry about you Zuko! How can you say I don't have anything to worry about?!"
She was right. "I'm sorry. I just, wasn't thinking."
"It's alright, so now I ask again. Is there anything you want to talk about?"
At the moment, talking about my failure in life doesn't seem too great. But If I say no, she won't stop bugging me. "Yeah."
Silence.
"Well? If you want to talk about something, you have to talk…"
What was her problem?! "I'M GETTING THERE!"
"Well SORRY! I'm only trying to help. If you don't want it…"
"No. It's just, nothing is going my way right now. I was banished, I can't capture the Avatar no matter how many times I encounter him, I'm a wanted criminal, my father wants nothing to do with me, and I'm a prince and I'm traveling like a beggar! What do you want me to do about that? It's pretty hard to stay positive at this moment." Wow… It did feel good to let it out.
"You know what I think? Zuko, you have to stop trying to please other people and start pleasing yourself."
What is she talking about? "I don't get it."
"Think about it. Everything you listed is what others think and what of you. You can't let them control your life! You have to start thinking about what you think and want of yourself. Only then will you discover happiness and positive thinking."
"But I need to get my honor back!"
"No Zuko. You don't. You don't NEED to get your honor back. You WANT to get your honor back. But the question is; is that really what you yourself wants?"
I had to think about this. What is it that I really want? "Katara, what do you want?"
"What do I want?" She sounded puzzled. "Well, I really want this war to end. Too many lives have been lost and for what?"
I couldn't believe what I was thinking, but she was absolutely right. For what? All this war has brought is death, pain, and sadness. Both sides have an uncountable number of losses, and what good was coming out of it? If the war ends and the world falls to the Fire Nation, what then? "Yeah, there hasn't been any good that has come out of this war. With all the despair and destruction, what good can ever come out of this war?"
"Yes Zuko. Exactly. But Zuko, there has been one great thing that has come out of this war."
She wasn't making sense now. "What?"
"People have come to accept reality and move on! They have learned to be happy for what they have and put what they had or want behind them! That's what you must do. You must learn to forget the past and start creating a better future for yourself!"
"That's what I want."
"You want…"
I smiled as I thought of what she just said. "I want to create a better future for myself."
Alrighty. Please tell me what you think.
