Public Announcements: I am so sorry for not updating. But I have excuses. For one I have been blessed with a new baby girl in my life, she is my sister, my cousin and Aunt came from Nigeria, I got a new Mercedes-Benz, Also I had a graduation, but the main reason was I was mourning Michael Jackson's death. May his soul rest in peace.

Where we left at…

Where we left at

Toph release Sokka hands and in turn Sokka read the letter.

Dear Katara,

For a while now I felt infatuated by you and

Now that you are a senior I would like to ask if you would...

Now for the Story…

Being lonely is hard.

Being lonely and depressed with is harder.

Being lonely and depressed with someone is even harder, you might not believe though.

Being depressed and lonely with someone and bearing is so hard, you might think I am over estimating but it is the hardest.

Now because of trying changing so it would be easier to bear is destroying the fabric of my already burdensome life. Most people believe that Azula is evil and is incapable of love. She even thinks so most of the time, but I know she loves 4 people truly. Ty Lee, Mai and myself and deep down inside our missing mother Fire Princess Ursa. Fire Princess Ursa or Mother as I like to call her suddenly left our estate in the middle of the night after the former Fire Lord passed away. They're rumors that my mother assassinated Fire Lord Azulon, but I don't believe that. My mother was too much of a loving and gentle sprit to do such a horrible thing. Fire Lord Azulon must have passed away in his sleep, I know he was in good health but it wasn't perfect health and he was old.

I know what most think, me, Zuko, prince of the Fire Nation, Crown Prince of the Fire Nation, first born of Fire Lord Ozai and Princess Ursa. How would Azula be categorized as a normally loving little sister? Well right now she is not, right now she is mad with me. Why. I don't know, truly. But I have an idea…

I broke up with her best friend. I broke up with a person she shows compassion to. I broke with one person would has managed to achieve a place in her heart. I caused distress in her world so she has been seeking out the person who caused it. And unfortunately it was…

Breathe In… Breathe Out… Calm Down.

…Me.

So now true to her nature as a predator or as I like to her a (or sometimes my) tigress or lioness, name her by her moods. Right now she is a seasoned killer and the prey is I. But it is best not to think of things like that.

He got up and looked outside, the scenery was pleasing to the eyes. He yearned to go outside but he felt that something about it seemed strange and he normally trusted his instincts. So I went out the back door and left to appreciate the summerhouse's garden. I smelled my favorite foods, all the glazed pastries in the cart I saw up ahead. So I walked down the cart path to the pastry stand. I took a smell of what I took delight in. The sinful delight of something so sweet, so pleasing to eyes but not good to the body. For that is the reason that most including the Fire Prince did not take the great pleasure from them in an everyday regime. The young Fire Prince as many have before him, walked up the cart path. The other Fire Princes in their day may have done the same thing. If you were a Fire Royal would walk down a cart path of an enchanting, luscious garden for a small treat, I would.

Zuko made his way down the path and gently put his right hand inside his blood red robes in to his tunic's pocket and pulled out 25 copper pieces. He looked in to the cart, the aroma of the fresh made delicacies were simply calling to him.

Buy Me. Eat Me.

Eat Me. Enjoy Me.

Please.

We know you want to.

They were enticing him. Their waft of air that was filled with flavor floating from the storing area into his nose that was being translated in his brain to his taste buds was enough to convince him to buy one or two or many a few…many. To you know give to children that were unfortunate and to spread the love of sweetly flavored dough glazed with a rainbow of condiments like chocolate swirls and strawberry filling and vanilla frosting and so many different flavors to love and relish.

He finally looked up to the person pushing the cart and probably the baker of the fine goods. The person was a young woman that obviously blessed with beauty. She had warm gold eyes that reminded Zuko of his mother's but oddly silver rims around to, she long dark brown hair that if one didn't look properly or if one didn't have proper light they would think her hair was black. Her equal oval face was perfect her lips were full and plump but not over done to make her face lose balance. Her nose was straight and just the right size. Her chin was small and made her face complete. Her long dark brown hair was tied in a tight bun that left a few loose strands of hair around her face framing her face and covering her medium small ears. The lady was enchanting and something about her made him remember his mother.

"Excuse me Prince Zuko would you like something from my humble cart." The lady said softly.

She was being very modest her cart was a light red that could have been mistaken for pink with golden flower all around. The cart had a light blue/white door that allowed the merchandise to imported and export easily. The wheels were small and there were four. The handle was birch bark wood from the remote part of the Earth Kingdom.

"May I ask did you make this beautiful cart?" the Royal asked

"Yes, my father gave me equipment and some part and I guess I just got carried away" she looked at her cart and blush.

"You blush looks rather comely on you Miss…"

"My name is Asru"

"Are you nobility"?

"Yes and No"

"No because my family is not in court and is not direct nobility and yes because I have Royal Blood but…but it is faint and there is no way you and I could be formally or informally related."

"How" Zuko said obviously intrigued.

"Fire Lord Sozin's concubine Reina was my great - great grandmother she got pregnant by him and gave birth to my grandfather. Avatar Roku's girlfriend from the water tribe got pregnant by him and she gave birth to an amber-eyed girl, my grandmother. My grandma and grand dad got married and had my dad. My mother is from the daughter of the King of Ba Sing Sa, King Kuei's, father. She was a born a bender and her mother wasn't the Earth Queen. Her mother was someone he picked up on a stroll through a town or a check up of a city. They did what they did and the lady got preggers with my mother. My grandma had a girl. The child was not only a bastard but also a female and a bender was a total disgrace. She could not be a princess because she was bastard, and she could not be a solider because she was female, and she could not learn her element to better her nation because rumors would fly and that would bring disgrace to the Earth King. So my grand mama took her and fled to a Fire Nation colony. At the search of jobs my mother found her way in the capital city and at the age of 19. My father was working at a teashop for summer and noticed my mother's emerald eyes. He came out the shop and talked to her, soon after they started dating. So after they got married and soon after, they had me. My father had pale skin and blue eyes with chocolate hair and mother pale skin and blond hair and greens eyes and here I am with deathly creamy pale skin and gold irises with silver rims and black hair" she told Zuko.

"Fascinating, so you and I are…"he did not get to finish before interrupted by saying oh, so softly

…are not related I am from many royal families and I have many connection to many royal and noble families all around the world but my blood is far to taint to be truly a Royal descent of Agni. You are a pure blood, I am not, if I were to say marry you your family would be part of every other Royal family in the world. Also if I were to marry you it would not be considered incense because I am far to distance from you, so how would I be considered family.

She started to walk the cart away but she stop when he called.

"Asru, I would like to ask you something else"

"What"

"What is your address and what is your number"

They exchanged numbers and she gave him her address she open her mouth and asked…

"Your Highness, I would like to ask you something"

"Go ahead and please call me Prince Zuko"

"Your Hi…Hi Prince Zuko my question is would you like to but some pastries before they get cold, I made them myself and saw you pull out a few copper pieces and for one cake is 5 copper pieces, for a cookie 10, for a big cookie is 15. Everything else is 5 for you.

"I want one 1/5 of your cart and…"

Prince Zuko looked at her body and finished.

"You to stay by the phone because I am going to call you"

Zuko moved closer to her form and lifted her chin to make her look in his eyes and whispered for only her ears to hear.

"Go off and spread the love…of your sweet…sugar items with the world, but do me a favor and yourself on the menu"

Asru had a blush on her face and when Prince Zuko let her go she quickly curried out of sight, but Zuko was sure he heard a faint.

"Okay"

The Prince headed over to his room with a chuckle. He opened three pieces of parchment and on one he wrote a letter to Asru, the other a letter of apologies to Azula (his beloved sister) he gave those to a servant it mail it and the other he wrote a letter to Toph.
