Sorry I've been gone so long-I have so much written in longhand...just stay in touch and I'll type it up! A Zuko/Azula oneshot...she is just so darn cute!
Thump! Azula sat, in utter shock, on the hard pavement. She squinted up at her victorious opponent, silhouetted against the sun. He laughed, then reached down reached down to help her up.
"Wow, 'Zula, I actually beat you! I guess I'm catching up!" Zuko's grinning, open face wavered before her as tears gathered in her eyes. "'Zula? Azula, I didn't hurt you, did I? I'm so sorry!" The young Prince pulled his six year old sister into a fierce hug. However, Azula didn't budge. She pulled away for the embrace and ran, leaving an upset and befuddled brother behind.
She lost. She had let her goofy, less talented older brother…win. She fumed. How could it happen? She was, as her Sifu and father assured her, a prodigy. Special. What if-because of this defeat-she wouldn't be special anymore? Mommy already loved Zuko most-what if Daddy, too, decided he liked Zuko best? And what if Sifu Kuzon did too?
"It can't happen." She whimpered. So, she trotted to her desk, took out Sifu Kuzon's latest scroll, and began studying. She would never lose again.
