fourteen flash fictions for Tyzula Week
Part I: luck, handwriting, sleepwalking & kittens
001. there once was a beautiful princess who was born lucky
.
"It's all gonna come out!" Ty Lee's little hand is clasped so tightly around her knee that her fingers become numb. "It's all gonna come out! IT'S ALL GONNA COME OUT!"
She is screaming, her big eyes swollen with tears, but of course no one is listening even for a second. Someone walks up to her, the gravel crunching under their feet.
"Yes. Yes it is. I'm very sorry about your unavoidable death," Azula says calmly, because if anybody thought this was a normal fairy tale romance they were very wrong. "Do you have any last requests?"
Ty Lee begins bawling uncontrollably. Azula grimaces before walking forward to stand in front of the hysterical girl about her age. Their meet-cute was the moment they met eyes and Azula tried hard not to laugh at the situation. On a playground, one of them bleeding and crying, the other with a mocking smile about the ordeal. It fits them.
"Well, whatever your name is, you are very lucky that I came along."
Azula smirks; Ty Lee sniffles.
.
002. and she was an excellent forger of homework
"You want me to do it for you?" the princess inquires and Ty Lee squints.
Azula has never been asked to do anything for someone; she is royalty and no one would dream of such a thing. However, her new friend is sitting right there, holding the papers and making cute deer-fox eyes in desperate hopes of Azula preventing her from failing their history class.
"Please, please, please, please..." Ty Lee bats her eyelashes and Azula looks her up and down.
The teachers do not question Ty Lee's homework being in Azula's handwriting.
Maybe Azula is not the best forger of homework, but everyone is too scared of her to mention it.
.
003. and she was a combative sleepwalker
Azula screams, gasps, stumbles on her feet with no clear idea of where she is, and someone grabs her as the hallway lights up bright blue.
She thinks it is sleep paralysis, despite the scent of smoke from her fire.
It is not sleep paralysis.
.
004. and she hated baby animals (but not really; she loved kittens)
"I hate all baby animals," Azula declares without a second thought. Her face is cold, set in that assertion.
"No one is surprised," Mai remarks, adding a sigh.
But Ty Lee's eyes sparkle. "But, princess, everybody loves kittens."
Mai glances over her shoulder, as if she thinks a fight will break out.
"No. I hate kittens and we should drown them." Azula tilts her nose towards the ceiling.
Ty Lee is definitely certain that Azula is lying about that.
