Dying to Live
Even if he was now the Fire Lord, she still didn't have to happy. Her brother. After the downfall of their father, he proclaimed himself the Fire Lord. The Fire Lord and people followed him. The people followed him. She couldn't believe that. Not only that but to have Mai… for Mai to… Mai was going to marry him. She growled. Her servant. Her partner in all those adventures. Her friend. She was going to marry him and Azula just had to stand there and be quiet. She was not going to. She will bring down old ZuZu and reclaim the Fire Nation!
She felt arms quickly wrap around her and squeeze as she was picked up. Her thoughts stopped as she struggled to breathe.
"Azlua! What are you doing here in the dark?!" Ty lee smiles still hugging a bluish princess. "What's wrong?"
"Can't breathe…Ty…" Azlua coughed as she was relished.
Raising her hands up walking around trying to catch her composer. Why did the little acrobat do that? What was it lately, she would run up and grab the princess at the worst times. She was not a teddy bear. Even if Ty Lee did name one of her teddy bears after the princess when they where younger.
"Sorry Azlua…" she spoke sheepish. "So what cha doin'?" she leans closer.
"Nothing." The princess brushes her off.
"Well let's go to the festival!" she pulled the princess down the hall like Azula had no choice in the matter.
Ty lee pulled her down the stairs, then out side. In the horizon they could see fireworks going off. This was the Festival to celebrate the wedding of Prince Zuko to Lady Mai. Tomorrow they would be wed and become the Fire Lord and Lady.
The people where happy has they walked around the Fair grounds. Everyone looking his or her best. Children running around and lovers walk hand in hand. This discussed the Princess making her gag. That's when she notice she and Ty lee where holding hands in a similar fashion. Azula broke her hand away from the acrobat. The younger girl took no notice of this as she ran to one to the stands.
Ty lee grabbed the rings from the man paying him. He sidestepped to once side as she started to throw the rings at the jugs. First one missed. She sighed and threw another one. Again it missed. She threw the rest and all of them missed.
Azula stood next to her folding her arms with a smile on her face. For some reason Ty lee seemed cute trying to get the rings to go on the jugs. Ty lee again paid the man, receiving some more rings. She was determined to win. Her tongue stuck out as she tossed one. Missing yet again. The other rings swiftly disappear as time went by.
"You toss like a girl." The man spoke laughing as he took her money and gave her more rings. Ty lee reached for the rings but for some reason Azlua took them out of her hands. She gave her a smirk as she turned to the jugs.
"Move or you'll get hit." The Princess demanded, throwing the first one just missing the booth keeper. It made it. Then she tossed the next one. And so on each making their mark. Ty lee jumped and cheered as Azula threw the last one. The man grumbled as he took the rings off turning to the woman.
"What do you what?"
"I don't want anything." Azula stated then she turned to Ty lee whose face was saddened. Azula sigh to what she was going to do. "What ever she wants."
Ty lee smiled and jumped pointing to the animal she wanted. Azula walked away. Ty lee thanked the man and run to catch up to the princess. She squeezed her new teddy bear in silence as they continued to walk down the road. The littlest things made the other woman happy. Azula always wondered.
They spent the rest of the night looking at this and that. No doing anything worth mentioning but Azula found her self at peace with the other as they sat and watch the final fireworks for the night.
"Azula." Ty lee softly spoke clenching the teddy bear. "did you ever think this day would come?"
Azula scuffed at the joyful woman's words.
"What that ZuZu and Mai would get married?" She growled sighing as she lay on the grass. Ty lee lead over her.
"No I mean. Peace."
Azula laughed at her, waving her hand and turning her head. Peace? Ha. Like that what she was fighting for all these years. Why she trained night and day to master the fire. Why she spent her teenage years hunting down her brother then the Avatar. Like none of that matter!
"Azula… I…" she whispered. Azula turned her head back looking at her with question. Ty lee turned back to the fire works. The princess with more confusion sat up watching her has Ty lee closed her eyes and squeezed that damn bear again.
"Will you stop that." Azula spoke. "You're going to kill the stuff animal." The princess took it away from her. Ty lee reached for it. Azula just batted her and away as she looked at the animal. Eyeing it. "Look its neck is already dented." The neck on the bear moved forward then backward. "They make these things so cheap." The princess sighed as she took one hand reaching up and removing her scarf wrapping it around the bear. Satisfied with her work she gave it back to Ty lee.
Ty lee took a look at the bear surprised Azula did what she just did.
"Don't mention it." Azula off handily spoke again laying back down on the ground. She opened her eyes to see Ty lee again looking down at her. "Yes, Ty-" she was stopped as Ty lee laid her head on the princess's chest not speaking a word as she held onto the bear. Azula slightly put off just looked down at the woman. What ever she was thinking she did not know. Ty lee snuggled closer. Azula softly laughed to her self as she again closed her eyes.
