Summary: The Fire Lord, a cold heartless man? Or a teenager trying to get a date to the ball? Even Ozai had to grow up.

A/N: The beginning of this chapter is more of the prologue, but it was too short to post alone. And everything in italics is his journal. That's about it…ENJOY!!

The Journal/Journal Entry 1

It was a strange day for Prince Ozai. His wife, Ursa, who was currently pregnant, started craving Sea Prunes, which was apparently some strange Water Tribe food. She ended up sending practically all of the servants out to find some for her. And after an hour of unsuccessful searching, she went out to help them look, which left poor Ozai alone with their seven-month-old son, Zuko, who was at the moment crying his eyes out.

"Why won't you stop crying!?" He cried in frustration, while trying to remember what Ursa usually did to calm their son down. Then it hit him. " His bottle!"

Ozai jumped up and immediately started digging around their room for one. He knew Ursa kept full baby bottles all over their room in various places. Too bad he wasn't paying any attention when she was showing him where they all were, so he had to settle for looking around until he finally found one.

"Yes, got one." He said, pulling a bottle out of an old chest he was digging through.

He started to get up when he noticed, lying at the bottom of the chest, was an old book that looked oddly familiar to him. Picking it up, he looked at the cover to find that it was blank.

"Odd." He said as he set it on his bed and went to take care of Zuko.

Zuko was fast asleep in no time, which left Ozai to further inspect the book. He sat down on his bed and opened it, the front page read 'The Journal of a Teenage Fire Prince' and his name, which was scribbled in the bottom, left corner.

"My old journal... Hm, this should be interesting." He said as he turned the page and started reading.

January 28

Today has been a pretty normal day, other than the fact that my brother, Iroh, is back from the war. Which really sucks cause he's so obnoxious. And today was no exception. He was showing off some stupid award he got for some stupid thing he did in some stupid fight…

"Ah, is lil' Zai jealous." Iroh taunted, rubbing his medal in my face… literally. He pinned me to the wall and was practically shoving it down my throat.

"Yes, I'm just boiling with jealous rage." I said sarcastically, giving up on trying to get him off of me. He was twice my size! What was I supposed to do?

"Don't worry lil' bro, maybe one day you'll be as awesome as me and be able to get a medal after only one week in the army." He said, retelling that story for about the 42nd time since he got back. Which was about 20 minutes ago. "Well maybe not that awesome. I mean, I am pretty amazing. It would be asking too much of you to become as great as me."

"IROH!! You put your baby brother down this instant!" Ila screamed, running up to the boys pulling Iroh off of Ozai. "What have a told you about picking on him! He's just a little kid!"

"Mother! I swear we weren't doing anything wrong! We were just playing… Cops and Robbers?" He lied, rubbing the back of his head. "Ozai was having fun. Right little guy?"

"Iroh! I will bring out the tea." Jabbing her finger on Iroh's toned chest. "I'll make it white tea too!"

"But mom! You know I hate tea! It's not my fault that it's gross and sissy!"

"I don't care! It's what you get for picking on my baby! And plus, The Fire Lord loves tea. So we all drink it in his name! Well, except your brother, but we all know he's allergic to tea."

"Fine! Whatever, I'll leave him alone." He complained. "I'm going to go make out with my girlfriend. Wait, I need to get one. Gimme ten minutes."

January 31

This is going to be so awesome! My first boy girl party is tomorrow. I know it's kind of ridiculous, I'm turning 14 and it's my first boy girl party, but my mom's insane. So I made her promise to stay in the back and not hover around everyone.

Oh, and I got this awesome new shirt the other day. It's like this red kimono style shirt with these gold dangly rope thingys. It's awesome. I'm also going to wear these nice white pants.

The only downside is that Iroh has to come too. He's probably just going to show off his new girlfriend and make fun of me. Nothing really new there, it's just really annoying. When's he getting shipped out again?

Author: So what do you think? I enjoyed writing it, as did Kris the Ninja Pirate, the official co-author of all my stories. Also, don't worry it will get funnier.

Ozai: And weirder.

Author: My stories always do. I also apologize for the shortness of this chapter I couldn't think of much more to put in. Though, just so you know, most my chapters won't be very long. I am also fully aware that they probably don't go by our dates, but it is a parody. So BLAH! And the next chapter should be out soon, seeing as though it's nearly finished, which is a shock for me cause I normally don't work ahead very often.
