Accidents Don't Exist

A very special girl and Iroh keep telling Zuko that accidents don't exist. Well, they don't! Things wouldn't happen if they were not meant to happen. If something happens, it was meant to happen... otherwise, it wouldn't have happened! This is Zuko/oc (my favorite Zuko pairing).

Ch 1: Bad News

I don't own ANYTHING. I'll leave it at that. Well, I do own my OC's. And sorry if it is short.

Fifteen-year-old Layla brushed her hair so she wouldn't have bed head for the rest of the day. She knew she wasn't going anywhere, though.

It was still winter break, and all the fifteen-year-old Avatar fan could do was stay at home, eat, and try to be entertained. This was a very boring winter break. She loved her presents from Christmas, so it was almost like all of her emotions had deserted her for a holiday. On New Year's day, her parents did take her shopping to two malls in Nashville, Tennessee, but shopping didn't really do much. And there were lots of different sales on New Year's day. On the way back to Clarksville, Tennessee, all she did was listen to her MP3 player and taking a long nap while doing it. No matter how good and skilled her two favorite bands were--Evanescence and Within Temptaion-- she still fell asleep.

Layla felt a lot like Mai. And even though Mai wasn't even real, she understood her completely. There was nothing to do, and almost every new day was the same as the one right before it. No matter what you did on the new day, it seemed like nothing changed.

Layla sauntered around the house, twisting a lock of her long and straight jet black hair. She was alone in the one-story house. Both of her parents were at work, and she wasn't allowed to leave the house at all.

"Time for some T.V," she said to herself.

She walked into the living room and propped herself on the leather sofa. She grabbed the remote that was sitting on the wooden coffee table and clicked on the small power button. The T.V was set to CNN news.

Layla wasn't the type of person interested in the news, but something on the screen caught her eye.

On the corner of the screen was the Avatar: the Last Airbender title. On the T.V there was one of people from the news interviewing the Avatar creators Mike and Bryan!

Layla rose the volume and was on the edge of her seat. A large grin was smacked right on her face.

"We've been getting a lot of reports lately," the news guy began. "And those reports are related to your show: Avatar the Last Airbender."

"We are aware of that," Mike said.

"Do you know what people have been seeing?" the news guy asked them.

"Not really," Bryan answered.

"Maybe this footage will give you the answer," the news guy said with a serious look on his face.

There was a video clip. Buy the size of the place, Layla could tell it was at one of those conveniant stores that were near the gas pumps. It looked perfectly ordinary.

Some seconds later, blue fire showed up. Three girls broke through the glass door. One shot blue fire in some areas of the store, and the other two looked around quickly. As quickly as they came, they left, leaving the now messed-up store. The customers and the two cashiers made it out alive.

Layla's jaw had dropped while watching it. Now, it was back to the interview. Mike and Bryan's jaws had dropped as well.

The news guy continued. "Some people have said that this could be another sign of the apocolypse. What do you two have to say about it?"

"Those people are probably right," Mike said with his finger to his chin.

Layla shook her head and chuckled a little bit. "That can't actually happen. Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee aren't even real. Plus, Azula should be in a mental hospital slash prison, and Mai and Ty Lee should be good people." She paused for a second, smiling. "Still, it's actually amazing they would talk about Avatar on CNN. I don't think they've ever done it."

It was now 12:00 pm. Layla already had her breakfast. She had plently of leisure time. One parent wouldn't be home until eight, and the other one wouldn't be home until nine. All the fifteen-year-old girl had to do was keep the house clean, so she wouldn't have to do much later.

Suddenly, there was a quick and loud knock on the door that almost made her jump. She sighed.

"Coming!" she shouted. She ran from the kitchen gracefully. She wasn't trying. It was just a habit.

She opened the door and gasped at the sight. Her twilight blue eyes were wide and her slightly pale skin grew a little paler. There was also a small pain in her stomach.

It was Azula, Mai, Ty Lee. Azula had an evil smirk. Ty Lee almost did, but it looked cuter on her. Mai was expressionless; the usual.

"W-what are you doing here?" Layla asked, shaking a bit.

"Is she it?" Ty Lee asked Azula, obviously exhausted.

Azula examined the frightened girl closely. She spoke after a few seconds. "That is definately her."

Before Layla could react in anyway, Ty Lee knocked her out.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few hours passed by and Layla finally woke up. She was on the floor of... the same machine that was on "The Chase"!?

Layla had a small headache and really wanted to rub her head. Too bad her hands and feet were tied.

She was also wearing different clothes. They were Water Tribe clothes. She was wearing a twilight blue tunic with a white belt, black capris pants, black ballet flat type shoes, and black wrist bands (one on each wrist).

This is just too weird, she thought to herself.

Layla was in the same room as Azula, Mai, Ty Lee, and the three creepy-looking mongoose-lizards.

A little more enraged than frightened, Layla shouted,"What the heck is going on!?"

Azula turned to face her. Apparantly, that smirk on her face didn't go away.

"Before you were knocked unconscious, you were scared stiff at the sight of us," Azula told her. "That's how all people react at the sight of me. Now you're being brave and yelling at me without hesitation? And when you're tied up?" She chuckled. "What an impudent girl you are. I'll make sure you'll regret that."

"Answer my question!" Layla demanded. "What's going on!? Why am I here!?"

"Impatient, are we?" Azula said. "Might as well tell you since you'll face execution in the Fire Nation." Azula paused for a little while and continued. "There is a second legend. It's just as popular as the Avatar one. It states that once every thousand years, a double bender will be born in the other world--where you come from. He or she will be the one to help the Avatar in his or her quest to save the world or just help him or her with his or her adventure. You're that double bender. The last one was able to bend earth and air. Now, you can bend fire and water. We're having you executed so the Avatar can't get any more help."

"Speaking of the Avatar," Ty Lee interrupted. "We found an easy-to-follow trail."

"Really?" Azula asked.

"Yes. Their bison is shedding and there are clumps of white fur on the ground."

"Does the captain know?" Azula asked.

"He's following it, so he knows," Mai answered.

"Excellent," Azula hissed with an evil smile.
