Birthday

Azula looked at the cake that was laid on the table, for her Ursa's 50th birthday. It was a big four layer cake, made by the best chief in the fire nation. The cake it self was made of vanilla and had chocolate moose in between the layers. The outside was covered in cream icing and had light gold sparkles on it. Their was also plenty of candles lining the cake, each one lite as the people in the room sung happy birthday to Ursa.

Azula looked around at the people who were singing to her mother. Zuko, Mai, and there two children, had given the party. Her Uncle, Tohp and Sokka, had came from their many different places of living, to come to the party. Last was the Avatar, his wife Katara and their three children were here from the Air Nation. Azula also noticed, her father had came with her Uncle. Ozai had been let out of jail a year ago and had been living with her Uncle. Rumors said, her father was actually liked by the people in Ba Sing Se and had grown to be very known for a good conversation in her uncle's tea shop.

The one thing Azula really noticed, was that Ursa had been watching her the whole time. The woman's golden eyes, had not left Azula's all night. It could have been because Azula had been watching the woman. Lately she had been looking at the woman for signs of aging, but had found very little. Ursa looked just like she did twenty years ago to Azula. The only thing that showed even a little age was a few lines around her eyes, but it made her look more mature. She also had a few lines of grey growing in, but it looked really good to Azula. Other then those things Azula saw nothing of a fifty year old woman. Ursa's body looked the same weight it did when she was a child. The woman looked like time had stopped around her and decided to make sure she never aged.

Azula looked at the woman in question, when the song was over and everyone told her to blow the candles out. She watched as she blew the candles out and then winked at her. Azulacouldn't fight off the happiness the spilled into her chest and came out of her as a goofy looking smile. Her mind couldn't seem to function right, as her mother smiled and everyone clapped. The fire bender was flooded with a sense of delight, at her mother's joy. She watched as her brother helped her mother cut a piece of cake and Sokka rushed for the first piece, but he was stopped.

Azula watched as Ursa took the plate from the boy and walked toward her. Every step of her feet, made the thin robes she was wearing blow in the woman's personal air space. When she stopped in front of Azula, the fire bender tried to wipe the stood smile off her face, but had no luck.

"The first piece goes to Azula."

Azula took the cake and smiled even harder, "Thank mother. Happy Birthday."
