There were certain points in Zuko's life, where he simply felt lonely.

The first time was when his father only paid attention to his little sister- Azula, he wouldn't even dare to look at him.

The second time was when he thought no one understood the way he felt after being burned and banished by his own father all in the same day.

The third time was because he decided to hunt for the Avatar- without his uncle by his side.

Though, none of those times could compare how lonely and hopeless he felt after his girlfriend- Mai, left him because he was 'too boring'.
It was just one of those casual day when Mai and Zuko were eating dinner in utter silence like they usual did. There was simply nothing interesting to talk about that wasn't politics. Mai hated politics despite being a natural at it. In all randomness of the evening, Mai threw her fork at Zuko. Zuko's head jerk up instantly when she started raging at him.
"I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE! We NEVER do anything together except sleep and eat! And when we actually do have a little alone time you just want to hug and talk about politics," Mai was standing yelling the Fire Lord making little smooch noises at her comment to add effect, "you never do anything nice to me like compliment my looks or tell me that I'm beautiful or something!" she threw her hands up in the air in frustration, "And for a kisses! Oh, ho, ho!" she snapped her fingers in his face, "I basically have to tell you to kiss me or do it myself because you won't take a hint or do anything romantic! There is no longer a spark between us. I'm tired of this and I'm tired of you. I'm leaving Zuko. It's over for good."
Zuko just stared and stared and stared gaping at the mouth. He's never heard Mai talk or rather scream with such emotion. When he came back to his senses and noticed she had left, Zuko stood from his table and rushed out of the restaurant earning looks from the people eating there. He stepped out of the restaurant and ran down the stairs a frantic look on his face.
He sprinted to his room pushing past and swerving between the villagers on the street. When he reached the palace he headed straight for his room. He bust the door open only to see Mai packing.

"Mai, please, I'm sorry I won't do it again! I'll be the perfect boyfriend- I swear it. I'll make time for us, I promise." Zuko fell to his knees, "Please don't go… I love you and only you…"
Mai shook her head and folded an article of clothing and placed it in the suitcase, "No, I'm tired of this I'm moving back with my parents Zuko, Goodbye." Her voice was monotonous.
Zuko begged and pleaded for Mai to come back and rule by his side again as they had been for two years, but no avail- an effort easily wasted. Zuko was desperate; he didn't know what he would do with his Mai beside him. Then she simply left leaving him alone in a giant room with an empty heart.
Zuko wouldn't eat for weeks, he barely talked, and in his limited free time he would just go to his room and sleep.
This went on for about three month's when Iroh finally had enough of his nephew drowning his sorrows in pudding and fire flakes.
Iroh had finally snapped at his nephew not cracking a smile.
"THAT IS IT! Get your ass out of bed! We're going to plan a party and you WILL go to it! You will find a new lady and make her yours and she will be your lady then you will live happily ever after and make little fire nation babies! GOT IT!"

Usually, Iroh was never one to cuss and act like that. He was the calm one, the one who always knew what to do.
Zuko just sat. Staring at his rag uncle and jumped out of bed. "Uncle, you don't control me! I will continue to mope around on my pace and continue eating fire flakes and pud-"
Iroh interrupted him, "Good to know you're alive. Let us go plan a few parties please. I really think you need them nephew."
In fact, Zuko was happy his uncle was trying to make him feel better and get his lazy ass of his bed. Soon, he would be 100% over Mai. Though, it'd still take time. Zuko continued to mope but cut the pudding- he was gaining weight and he stuck to the fire flakes. Zuko moped because he felt useless. Useless, because he was a bad boyfriend to Mai.
"Yes uncle, let's plan a few parties. How about a singles party? Invite all the single people we know and the singles they know to stay at the palace for an entire two weeks!" Zuko suggested, finally getting pumped, "Cancel all my meetings and tell them."
A smirk was plastered onto his face, "the fire lord is on a long needed vacation so don't bother with any war plans."
Iroh was very happy at his nephews enthusiastic attitude towards the plan, "Of course, I will call every one and make sure they are all here for this wonderful event, and oh! We'll need food, drinks, and more things for these 2 weeks of celebrations!" Iroh clapped his hands with an evil glint in his eyes, he hadn't been to a singles party in years, "Any one in particular you want to come?" he asked.

Zuko waved him off "Just invite EVERYONE, uncle. Every single one of them- from jets team, all of team avatar, song , Jin, Haru, Hahn, Teo, Ty-lee, Azula! Anyone whose left single our age." He listed off names as well as his finger, "and hey I'm feeling lucky! Invite Mai!" he smiled syly.
"For you, I'll make Aunt Wu come." he said with a knowing smile making Iroh blush.
"Fine, I will start immediately. I will have everyone here by Saturday, get ready it will be long vacation." He said while walking to the door.
"Yes, go I will tell the council about my much needed vacation." He called out to his uncle.
Smiling, and better than ever, Zuko flopped out of bed and then jumped back up scrambled to put on some fresh clothing and ran out of his room to the garden just wanting to take everything in and finally be happy.

He had also noticed he was better off without Mai's gloominess and laughed at the thought of needing her to be with him before.
"Ha, this will be a very interesting few weeks wont it?" he scoffed to no one. For once, Zuko was happy for no apparent reason and he liked it.
He was hoping to find love again and he knew deep down in the pit of his stomach that he would find it in these few weeks. He just knew and he was secretly hoping in a way that Mai would find love too.

Then, he stood up from the bench he had been sitting on and went to go tell the council about his new vacation and wondered how they would take it...
