A Candle at Midnight

by Karynna

Zutara drabble series on a plotline. The Avatar has lost and Azula bends the world to her cruel will. But even she cannot determine the ultimate results of her actions. #6--Darkness. "There was nothing there for Katara."

2. Funny

If you're having trouble figuring this out, it's dialogue between Zuko and Azula. Should be easy to follow. Let me know what you think; my mind reading capabilities are temporarily disabled due to lack of jellybeans.
Don't own. Don't sue.

"What are you doing, Azula?"

"What I want. I can do that, you know."

"I know."

"Then quit pouting."

"I'm not."

"Yes you are, Zuzu."

"I'm not pouting. I'm confused."

"I'm not surprised. I don't expect you to understand."

"Why did you let me live? I turned my back on you."

"I think you're funny."

"You can't be serious."

"Honest. When have I ever lied to you?"

"…"

"I do. And being ruler of the Fire Nation requires some humorous diversions."

"You're not in charge."

"Oh really?"

"Dad's still there, Azula. Don't get ahead of yourself."

"See? You are funny. You warning me against treason. It's quite hilarious."

"I'm being serious."

"I know. That's why it works for you. Nevertheless, you are mistaken. Who captured Ba Sing Se?"

"You."

"Who led the battle against the Avatar?"

"You."

"Who killed the buffoon warrior and his dad? Who captured the water witch? Who ordered the slaughter of every pregnant woman in the Water Tribes? Who killed the last Airbender? Who is the Most High Advisor of the Fire Lord? Who made you wear those ridiculous pants? Who made sure Uncle never came back? Who persuaded Dad to let you stay?"

"You."

"Me."
