A/N: Azula is REALLY fun to write about in awkward relationship situations.

Azula stared at Ty Lee. The girl was surrounded with boys, as always. She was used to that. But she can't help feel a little bit… jealous. She wanted to be like her, others adoring her for being just the way she is, not just a member of the royal family.

"Although I'm princess of the Fire Nation, perfect in every way," she thought to herself miserably, "I can't – I – I –"

Taking a deep breath, she looked up with a smirk, "Of course I can. I am the Princess of Fire Nation! Nothing is greater than me! I can handle anything! Even boys!

"Luckily, I have some tricks up my sleeve," she proudly went on.

She spotted her first victim. A guy was standing coolly near her.

TECHNIQUE NUMBER 1

Look uninterested.

Azula went near the guy and leaned against a pillar. She raised her eyebrows in an uninterested sort of way.

NO REACTION.

She looked at her nails and blew them as though they were newly painted.

NO REACTION.

She kept giving sideway glances at the guy, smiling – well, more of smirking.

NO REACTION.

"What? Three tries and still nothing!" she thought angrily.

TECHNIQUE NUMBER 2

RAGE.

She stormed furiously at her poor victim. "How daft are you? Can't you see what I'm doing?" she yelled, shaking the guy's shoulders violently.

"Aah!" he cried, losing his head completely at the sudden attack of – "Princess Azula!" he realized, horror emanated in his eyes. "Please! Have mercy on me!" he cried once again, now sliding from her grip and kneeling in front of her.

Azula crossed her arms and frowned. It was NOT going as planned.

TECHNIQUE NUMBER 3

Flirting.

"Oh, you," said Azula, suddenly smiling, and batting her eyelashes playfully. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to actually frighten you."

"Huh?" said the guy, confused. "Did she have mood swings, or something?" he thought. "Oh, uh, okay," he said, grinning despairingly, "I've been attacked by something worse. My old girlfriend, to be precise."

"Ah-hahaha!" Azula laughed. Uncomfortably. Very much. It really wasn't funny.

"Yeah," he said, now slightly confident that the Fire Nation princess did not really want to shred him to pieces for not noticing her.

"Come with me!" Azula said suddenly, still smiling eerily, and she took the guy's arm. "Now I can show the others that I, Princess Azula, can actually have a guy to like me!" she thought.

"Uh, sorry," he said, regaining his composure, "I have – uh – other things to do." And with that he squirmed his arm away from the princess.

He was squirming because, by the second, Azula's grip on his arm became stronger and stronger and her eyes suddenly shot sparks.

"It wasn't a request," she said quietly but full of menace. Blue flames were already shooting out of her other hand. She thought, "Time to resort to Technique Number..."

The next moment, a guy was seen running out of the palace.

"Ah well," sighed Azula, sitting down upon her royal throne. "One can live without them."

A/N: Haha! Hope you liked it! Reviews are much treasured. Flames are used for strengthening Azula's firebending. Nobody wants that, do they?
