(This is just a very little one shot of Ty LeexAzula. Read and Review!)
"He was cute!" Ty Lee squealed, dancing over to Mai and me. Her brown hair bounced up and down with her steps and her gray eyes sparkled.
She was referring to Sokka, a Water Tribe Warrior and friend of the Avatar. He and his little blind friend had come to warn the Earth King about me. It was obviously useless. We had infiltrated the Earth Kingdom earlier and had complete control of the Di Lee.
Ty Lee could not stop going on about that stupid Water Tribe boy. I didn't understand. He wasn't amazing looking, with that stupid ponytail and useless little boomerang. I don't even know why the Avatar kept him around. He probably didn't help him out. I'm guessing he was only there because the Avatar has a little crush on his sister, Katara.
I sat on the Earth King's throne, listening to Ty Lee blab on and on. I could feel my patience slipping and my temper rising. Mai only looked bored, which isn't saying much because she always looked bored. Ty Lee was the happy attitude of our trio. She never seemed to have a care in the world. She didn't have a father expecting her to succeed in her endeavors. I hated, envied and loved her at the same time.
Ty Lee was one of my oldest friends, aside from Mai. We grew up together back in the Fire Nation. Despite her happy-go-lucky attitude, I was good friends with her. She's helped me through hard times. Lately, I've found myself drawn more and more to her. She's grown quite beautiful over the years. I was quite floored by her beauty when I visited her at that circus. She's much prettier than me, actually. All the boys are drawn to her like flies. It's disgusting really. She makes herself too easy to get. If anyone shows her one speck of kindness, they're suddenly her best friend. It's a wonder that she and I are even friends. But the kind of closeness I feel towards Ty Lee is different than my closeness towards Mai. I want to be closer to Ty Lee every day. When she isn't around, I get lonely. It's really stupid, I know.
I had been keeping my anger in check for a while, but the next thing she said set me off.
"I hope I see him again!"
"He wasn't cute!" I snapped at Ty Lee, who immediately shrunk back, "Would you just shut up about it? You sound like a dumb, love struck girl. It's pathetic Ty Lee, really it is."
I was hurting her with my words; I could tell by her expression. Her lips quivered slightly and she looked down at the floor.
"I'm sorry Azula, I was only excited," She mumbled.
"Next time, keep your excitement to a minimum," I snarled, leaping from my seat and storming from the room.
I knew that they would be wondering about my sudden mood swing, but it didn't matter. I couldn't understand Ty Lee's infatuation with that boy. She had me, and Mai, why did she need anyone else. Before I exploded right there in palace, I stalked off to find something, or someone, to let my anger out on.
