"An angry dragon's roar bounced of the canyon walls, and at the moment he couldn't decide which frightened him more: the dragon, or his partner, who was giving him quite the piercing glare right about now. Her golden eyes were ablaze with fury, he was just glad it wasn't her hands.

"They were crouched behind a boulder for cover from the infuriated reptile, they had just barely made it out of range of the dragon's firebreath. Knowing they were going to have to go back out soon, they were both gearing up for a possible and very likely attack. Him checking his boomerang, and sharpening his sword; her, well she had her own means of defense.

"Five." she said. "Five minutes, and you've gone and upset the nest of the most dangerous animal on the planet! Sokka, you imbecile!" She finished with a heavy heated punch to her partner's arm. Singeing his shirt sleeve in the process.

"Rubbing his arm, Sokka gritted his teeth and fired back at her, "What was I supposed to do, Azula? Leave it there? The shell was already cold, and if I hadn't put it back it would've died!"

"Azula scoffed, "Great, the egg's safe, but the mother is going to kill us."

"The man flailed his arms about, "How was I supposed to know the dragon thought I was trying to steal it?"

"Azula turned away and sighed, "Never mind."

"She stood up, glaring at the oaf wasn't going to get either of them anywhere. The dragon roared again, it sounded closer this time. She tsked pulling her hair back into a long low sitting ponytail, with two chin length bangs still loose, one hanging off the right and one hanging off the left. "Since you're obviously not smart enough to do anything. I'm going to figure out a way to deter this thing from coming after us. Besides, if the mother doesn't go back to her eggs soon she'll lose them."

Azula moved to step from behind the boulder, but Sokka, still sitting, reached up and grabbed her arm to stop her. "You're not going to kill it, are you?" He asked sincerely.

'Did I not just say...' Azula stared down at him frowning. "Says the man sharpening his sword, of course I'm not going to kill it."

"Her arm heated up like a sheet of metal left outside in the sun on a hot day, burning Sokka's hand a slight. The fool let go and waved the appendage around, blowing at it quite unnecessarily.

Azula rolled her eyes then dragged the Water Tribesman up by his burnt hand, the pain making him to wince. "Grab your weapons and let's go." she snarled.

Sokka gulped, putting his sword and boomerang back in their respective sheaths, then followed Azula out from behind the boulder; the dragon no more than 100 meters away, waiting for them.

A/N: The idea of Sokka and Azula working together on anything was intriguing, and so I thought of this! I had thought of them both being in their 20s, so Azula would be 25 and Sokka would be 26, if I got the age gap right, if not, Sokka's 27(it has to be either 26 or 27, I'm sure). Since the Sky Bison population still existed, and had to probably be nursed back to a healthy populace, I thought about the same thing probably happening with dragons! But in this case, they're left up to their own with people coming in to observe every now and then from a distance, and that's where Azula and Sokka come in! This might be a short-ish story, I'll have to see where exactly I'm going to take it. Anyway, enough from me what do you think? Reviews/Critiques are appreciated. I hope you enjoyed so far, and I'll see you in the next chapter!
