"May I present to you your first Fire Lady Ruler of the Fire Nation Lady Ursa!" says the guard to the crowd.

The crowd applauded and yelled cheered as Ursa walked out followed by her children Princess Azula and Prince Zuko. Ursa waved and smiled as the cheering crowd died down and it was time to make her speech.

"Thank you so much. Ever since my husband died everything has been tough. The thought of living without our Fire Lord was tough. But I've come to realize not everything done in the world are we going like. We don't like having to work or strive for excellence but we do. We don't like making mistakes but we do because we are human. This is what I think this war is a big mistake. Something that as the new ruler of the Fire Nation is on the top of my list. It is time for the four nations to live together. Instead of this suffering and fighting it is time for Peace!" Fire Lady Ursa said as she finished her speech.

The crowd cheered as Fire Lady Ursa and her children walked in to the palace.

"Mom, can we all really live in peace?" asked Zuko.

"Of course not. It's impossible. Those peasants are beneath us." says Azula.

"Azula! Of course it's possible it's just a matter of time. We have to bond with our fellow Nations which is why we are having one of my old friends visit for a while." Said Ursa

"Who?" asked Zuko curiously trying to hide it.

"His name is Hakoda he is the leader of the Southern Water tribe. He will be bringing his children." Said Ursa smiling.

"Great. It's bad enough the peasants are out there in the world but now they are going to be visiting us, living here and probably stinking the place up." says Azula.

"Azula! I expect you to be nice to our guests they are as much a person as you are!" Says Ursa

"Hhmp." says Azula as she walks to her room.

"Zuko our guests will be here in a week. Please try and be nice." Begs Ursa.

"Fine." Says Zuko.

"Thank you. At least you'll be polite I'm worried about your sister though." Says Ursa.

Southern Water tribe

"But Dad." Says Sokka.

"No buts. Now we are going to the Fire Nation to visit Fire Lady Ursa she was an old friend of your mothers and mine. She has two children Zuko and Azula." Says Hakoda while he continues packing.

"I think it will be fun." Says Katara.

"See Sokka your sisters exited why can't you be?" asks Hakoda.

When Hakoda turns his back Sokka sticks his tongue out at his sister.

"Look I know you don't want to go because this is the nation that killed your mother. But things have changed since your mother died and I want to help Lady Ursa stop this war. So Sokka can we go to the ship now?" asks Hakoda.

When Sokka looks around he sees his father and sisters hopeful looking faces waiting for his answer.

"Fine. But I will not be nice only civil."

"That's all I ask." Hakoda says as he closes the packs full of necessities.

"You ready?" asks Hakoda looking at his children.

The siblings look at each other and nod. Off to the Fire Nation they go as they board the ship.
