I don't own avatar the last airbender or any of its content. This story is simply for fun.
Ty Lee woke up. Just as she woke, she looked around her surroundings. She did not recognize this as her pink room she shared with her many sisters that she was placed in when she visited the fire nation from the circus.
Instead, it was a huge luxurious room with a fire nation insignia on the wall. Ty lee found out that she was laying in the middle of a enormous bed with red silk sheets wrapped around her.
Just as she stood she remembered what had happened last night and why she was here. She had a sleepover with her best friend, Princess Azula. She remembered that one of the servants led her to the guest room last night. Se had been around the palace a lot so she knew where Azula's room was located because Azula told her last night.
"Down the hall, and to the right. Down the hall, and to the right. Down the hall, and to the right" the young and perky acrobat kept repeating.
Just as she was going down the luxurious fire palace hall, something stopped her. He heard pots and pans banging against each other.
'oh well, the kitchen's busy' she thought. Ty lee turned to the right just as she saw a huge door with golden dragon patterns decorating it's red form. She carefully slid her hand to cover the golden door knob and turned it carefully not to wake the Princess.
She tip toed in using her athletic gentleness and found Azula sleeping. 'hmm...what will I do? I won't wake her so she won't be shocked an burn my face off...so what will I do?' Ty lee thought. Just then she smiles and giggled at her new idea. She was going to spill cold water on the princess so she wouldn't fire bend afterwards.
Ty lee sneaked out of Azula's room and back to the kitchen which he remembered being so loud.
When she entered the kitchen, everyone seemed so busy that they didn't even notice her. She grabes a bucket of water and headed away, back around the right corner to Azula's room.
Ty lee once again walked in and stood above the sleeping princess. Oh how she wished Zuko was here to see this. But then she remembered that he was in exile searching for the avatar. The last avatar died during the air nomad attack. No one knows what happened to the other avatars, so the next one may me of water earth or even fire.
Ty lee pushed those thoughts out of her head as she screamed into the princess' ear. "wake up Azula!"
"mnm Ty l..." Azula didn't finish her sentence as she turned around on her other side to ignore whatever intruder came in.
"you asked for it, now here comes the cold water!" Ty lee yelled just as she rotated the bucket so the water would wash on the sleepy princess.
"Ty lee?" Azula opened her eyes just to see Ty lee turning the bucket, so that its contents spilled on her. Azula took her hands and waved them in front of her face so no water would wash over her and forced her eyes shut.
Azula heard Ty lee gasp and she opened her eyes to see the water floating right above her strained hands.
Azula then dropped her hands and the water startled her bringing her back to her senses.
"Ty lee what the hell did you do to me? You mad me all wet. What kid of sick game is this floating water thing? What is this helping you achieve?" Azula yelled her questions at poor Ty lee.
Ty lee was at a loss for words but she found them quick enough. "A-a-azu-u-la-a..."
"yes?" Azula shouted.
"the floating water wasn't a trick..." Azula glared at her. "...you did that" Ty lee finished stammering.
Azula just stared at her like she had 20 eyes while analyzing everything that had just happened. 'I pulled my hand in front of me and the water floated, and as I put my hands down, it went down as well. But I'm a firebender, and the only firebender that can do that is...' Azula's eyes widened as she screamed "NO NO NO THIS CAN'T BE POSSIBLE!"
Ty lee sat next to Azula on her be and put a hand on her wet shoulder. "Azula calm down, everything will be alright, I'll still be your friend even if you are the Av-"
"Ty lee?" Azula screamed at her and shrugged the hand of her shoulder. Ty lee looked at her sincerely. Azula put her face in her palm and said "What am I going to do? I can hide it from father for some time, but the fire sages will find out and tell him for sure. Then I'll be a wanted criminal." she said trying to keep the tears inside. Princess Azula did not cry, so she wasn't going to start now.
"well you can privately speak to the sages and they might not announce it, or you can fight for the fire nation!" Ty lee cheered.
Azula looked at her not in a jockeying matter. "I already am with the fire nation, Ty lee why are you so stupid, can't you UNDERSTAND what just happened! Father will have me EXECUTED and i will take you down with me!" Azula yelled at her friend.
Then all of a sudden Ty lee ran out of her room sobbing and ran back to her house on the right side of the nobles' houses.
Azula stood from her bed and walked to the other side of her room and opened the red silk curtains to see Ty lee rush through the guards and away. Azula watched her leave until she was no longer in sight.
Trying to forget her altered destiny this morning she dries hersel off with her firebending. Then, she got dressed in her royal armor and slid it on her feminine frame. Then she went to the huge mirror in her room and slid her hair into its traditional top knot with two prices of her bangs framing her face. She slid on her golden crown, representing she is a princess, into place. After that she took her red lipstick and brushed it onto her lips. There! She looked in the mirror and saw the cold perfectionist she was known as. She then walked out of her door an was greeted by servants.
"Princess, your father ordered your presence in the dining room for breakfast" one of the servants had said. Azula nodded her head and headed to the dining room.
As she entered the huge room she saw that her father was already seated on the head chair in the center of the enormous table.
"Good morning father, sorry I am late" she greeted Fire Lord Ozai as she took her place at the table. Her father looked displeased and she hoped he hadn't heard about her performance this morning.
As she sat and waited for her meal, her father's eyes bore into her skull. "what did you do to your little friend this morning?" he asked inpatient.
Azula thought of a lie that she can cover up Ty lee pouring water on her, so that Ty lee's family wouldn't get banished for treason against the royal family. Being the extraordinary lier she is she quickly came up with an excuse. "Ty lee was in my room in the morning because I requested that she bring me a drink to quench my thirst. As she was coming, she tripped and the drink spilled on the carpet. I dried it all off with my firebending, however, I got mad at her and yelled at her and threatened to banish her, so she left crying." Azula hoped that sounded reasonable.
Ozai's features softened as she let go of a breath she didn't know she was holding. "I don't want to hear of these outbursts again" Ozai beamed.
"Of course, father" she said as she bowed her head in shame. Just then a thought popes in her head. "father may I as you a question?" she asked.
Ozai stopped just as he was goig to put his roasted duck-chicken in his mouth. "yes daughter, ask" he said and continued chewing.
Azula swallowed and asked "what happened to the Avatar and who are we expecting next with that title?"
Ozai Wasn't expecting that, but replied to his daughter's request. "a we know, the air nomad Avatar died on the day of Sozin's comet and then the water peasant Kakka was the Avatar, but she was of the swamp tribe, so she didn't have the intelligence to know her identity and our troops took her out by ambush at age 50. After we waited for the earth peasant avatar who was Pao, who got killed by our top assassins at age 36. The next Avatar should be a girl about your age in our glorious nation. Once the sages announce her identity, she shall be put in the avatar state and killed in it so the avatar shall not exist." Ozai explained.
"That is a wonderful plan father. I assume it was you who came up with it?" she asked. 'Why was I not informed about this plan, I am the princess of the fire nation. I deserve to know!' she exclaimed in her mind.
"yes it was, daughter" Ozai said, obviously pleased. " I was to tell you tomorrow when that girl's identity will be released"
After hearing that, Azula chocked on her rice. "are you telling me that tomorrow we will find out who the Avatar is?" Azula asked mortified.
Ozai noticed his daughter's expression change. "is there a problem you wish to discuss with me?" Ozai asked his daughter.
"no, no, no, I'm just excited" Azula said trying to keep a straight face on. "actually father, I'm satisfied" she said as she stormed out of the dining area an into the hall leading toward her room.
As she came into her room, she slammed onto her huge bed face forward and sobbed, not caring if her makeup would rub off on the expensive silk sheets of her bed, or if anybody would see her. She wished her mother was here with her now comforting her like she did with Zuzu.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
