(Zuko)
"Zuko," my mother questioned from the end of my bed. "Why are you not asleep?"
"I couldn't sleep," I said and she came and wrapped her arms arround me.
"And why is that?"
"I don't know."
"Zuko," she said in her motherly stern voice, making me look into her eye's. I can't lie to her. "What is it?"
"I... I heard Father and Grandfather arguing... Father he was furious, and he doesn't want me... He never wanted me," she grabbed me and stroked my face gently.
"Your father loves you... What will ever make you think differently?"
"Azula said-"
"Azula," she exasperated. "You're sister does nothing but toy and play with your emotions!"
"I heard him mother... He say's I'm a disgrace... not fit to be related to the Fire Lord," her eye's turned soft, and she laid me in my bed gently.
"I... Will talk with your father..." A knocking came from outside my door.
"Fire Lord," said a servant. "The Avatar has arrived... He requests an audience."
"I know," how am I going to be able to look at Aang knowing of what I've done. "Give me five minutes." He knocked again
"I do not think it wise to make the Avatar wait my Lord," he pleaded, but I didn't budge. I just slept with my best friends girl... I don't regret it though... I don't regret her... But she regrets me. Another knock came from my door.
"I said," I stormed and opened the door to see Katara. "Five minutes... Katara... I."
"They're getting antsy," she had her face on. The stone face that she use's to hide her true feelings. "You've been requested... we all have been."
"Let me get out of these robes," I said and looked over to her, she was still in my robe. "You should to."
"Thanks but no thanks... I already slept in Azulas bed... I don't wish to get any closer to her." I walked over to my closet and grabbed my last remnant of my mother.
"Where is she," I asked my mothers personal servant putting my mothers belongings into a box... They were crying. "Where is my mother?"
"I do not know," she answered to me, and opened my mothers closet pulling out her old gowns.
"What are you doing?"
"Ozai has ordered all belongings of your mothers to be burned."
"No," I yelled and took the gown in her hand. "She's coming back! You Can't Do this!" I ran with my mothers gown into my room, slamming the door behind me.
"Zuko," my father roared, heading towards my room. I panicked and stuffed my mothers dress into one of my drawers. "Zuko," he said again. "Don't you ever slam a door in this palace again! Do you hear me!" I was crying and I wiped my tears.
"Y-yes S-sir..."
"Good," he looked me over and huffed. "Get ready for dinner... Grandfather requests we be early," I nodded my head and he left. I went back over to the drawer, and pulled out my mothers dress. It was the blue one she wore on my tenth birthday... She and uncle were the only one's to come... I held her dress to my chest and cried softly... Where did she go?
I handed the blue dress to Katara, and she looked at me questionably.
"Do you just keep dress's for when you have ladies over," she asked and reluctantly took the dress. "How many of your girlfriends have worn this?"
"Just one," she rolled her yes and started to put it on. She took off her robe and I couldn't help but ogle her body.
"What," she said in annoyance. "It's not like you haven't seen it before," she looked at herself in the mirror. "Mai must of looked gorgeous in this dress."
"Mai has never worn the dress," she looked dissatisfied with my answer... I think I saw a tad bit of jealousy in her comment. "It was my mothers dress," the realization that swooped across her face changed her every thought.
"Zuko... I-... I'm sorry; I didn't mean to..."
"It is alright," I said with a smile on my face. "Any way Mai would never be able to hold a candel to you in that dress... It was my mothers favorite... Her favorite color was blue," i went up to her and looked her in the eye's. "So is mine," she blushed and I went in to kiss her.
"We need to be going," she said stopping me she walked out of the room and I fallowed. This is going to be a long time.
