A/N: This chapter is obviously a childhood memory, the whole story isn't like this. Please read and review!
Azula sat on the edge of her bed, sulking, her arms folded.
"Why does Zuko get to be firelord?" She whined. It was after her father's coronation. Ozai, was now the ruler of the Fire Nation, which meant next in line was her brother, Zuko. "I'm better than him!"
"You're so right, Azula! Zuko's weird!" Her best friend, Ty Lee said. "He can't even bend right! You're so much better! Right Mai, isn't Azula better than Zuko?" Mai, who was sitting in the corner, just nodded. Azula sighed dramatically, egging on more praise from her friends. Azula sat up on her bed and looked at Ty Lee, who didn't say anything. She was braiding her hair and Mai was… just being Mai.
"He doesn't have the right, I do!" Azula practically screeched.
"Well, he is oldest." Both Azula and Ty Lee looked to Mai who spoke, "What? It's true."
"But I'm smarter!"
"Yeah!"
"And prettier!"
"Yeah!"
"AND BETTER!"
"YE-"
"Shut up, Ty Lee!" Azula spat at her. Ty Lee looked like she was going to cry, but Azula ignored her and continued.
"Maybe the right just… skipped over him! And went on to me! Maybe I, have the divine right to rule!" Azula felt happier, she had to be right. Zuko stunk at everything! The right had to have skipped over him.
Azula had to have had the right to rule!
