Hey! this is going to be the first chapter in the full length story I'm writing about Kiza and Kozu! Tell me what you think! (By the way, the drabbles and one-shots may or may not relate to the story... so don't connect the two!)
Flashback
"Is there anything I can do?" Fire Lord Zuko asked.
The doctor shook her head. "Just give her a few hours and—"
"HOURS!" Zuko interrupted sharply. "But she's in so much pain!"
The woman just smiled and put a hand on the king's shoulder. "Your Highness," the old healer continued. "The fire lady is not the first to bare a child!"
"But it's OUR first!" Zuko stopped himself for a while. He hated showing weakness to anyone other than Katara. He turned back to the healer. "Just… do what ever you can…tell her…I love her…"
The healer smiled. "Yes, sir."
A few hours later…
"Congratulations, Fire Lord Zuko!" One of the ladies in Katara's room cried. "You're a father of two beautiful children!"
The young king didn't say a second word to the helper, but bounded into the room to be with his wife. And there they lay… Two beautiful babies. One boy, and one girl… twins!
"Katara…" Zuko whispered. He strolled over to the bed and sat down gently along side his wife. She looked tired, Zuko looked concerned.
"She lost a lot of blood," the healer said as if reading Zuko's thoughts. "But she'll be perfectly fine! Congratulations."
The fire lord nodded his head as the old woman strolled out. "Thank you." After he left, Zuko turned his full attention on his family.
Katara touched his face weakly. "They're beautiful, Zuko…"
"Just like their mother…"
Katara smiled then looked down at the children in her arms. She touched the boy gently on his tiny dark nose. "Kozu…that's all I've got…"
Zuko kissed his wife's forehead gently. "It's beautiful…" he gently stroked the female twin's soft, silky, black hair. "Kiza…That's all I've got…"
Katara giggled softly. "Blue eyed, Kozu and golden eyed, Kiza… My beautiful little angels…"

Kiza POV
It was a pretty at the palace. Daddy was practicing his firebendying at the edge of the pond. Mommy made sure Kozu and I stayed far away, so we wouldn't get burned. So Kozu copied Daddy's moves in the garden next to the pond. Mommy was brushing my hair, and I was playing with the doll Great Uncle Iroh gave me.
While Kozu was trying to firebendy, he did a move, then slipped and landed on his butt! (Even though mommy says not to say that word, I can still think it!)
"Kozu!" I cried out. "Are you okay?"
Mommy ran over to him. "Mommy's here my love! Where does it hurt?"
"It doesn't Mommy… I'm okay!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes… my butt just hurts…"
"What have I told you about that word?" Mommy asked harshly. "Say bottom!"
"But Mommy! Bottom takes too much to say! It has more Ajetives!"
"You mean, syllables," Mommy corrected. Kozu rolled his eyes.
I looked over at Daddy. He looked so focused. I stood up and watched him. Slowly, I copied. First a raised my hand and swirled around. I picked up my left foot and jumped then kicked with my right. I landed on both feet with my knees bent.
Daddy thrust out his right hand pulling the other back. "Kiiiiya!"
I did the same. "Kiiiiya!" I felt my whole body get hotter. Then, in a flash, fire sprung from my hand and landed on the edge of Kozu's robe. Mommy sprang up and tried to douse the flames, but that made the fire hit his ankle.
"AAAAHHHHH!!" Kozu cried. Daddy stopped firebendying and ran over to us. By then the flames were gone.
"Kozu! I'm sorry!" I screamed. "I don't know what happened! I just…" Though Kozu was in tears, Mommy and Daddy look at each other than at me in shock. A smile was on Daddy's face.
"She's… a firebender…"
Kozu still cried. "She burned me!!" he pointed his finger at me and as he did that, a ball of water rose from the lake and hit me in the face. It wasn't soft like water should be, but it was hard and cold like ice. I saw Kozu's eyes get big… then I took a nap…

"Kiza…" It was Great Uncle Iroh's voice. "Kiza dear…"
"Uncle?" my voice came out scratchy. Mommy calls that a frog in your throat. I opened my eyes. I was on my bed surrounded by Mommy, Daddy, and Kozu.
"Thank goodness!" I heard my mother sigh.
"What happened?" I asked.
Daddy spoke this time. "We'll explain in the morning… You just rest, okay?" he kissed my forehead and patted my hair.
"Yes, Daddy."
Later that night
I know I'm not supposed to be out of bed, but I had to play around with what happened that afternoon! I went into the throne room, knowing that Mommy or Daddy wouldn't be there. And I started to do the movements I saw from daddy.
'Fire…' I thought. Then I started. Moving faster than before. Then when I reached the end a huge blast of fire flew from me. I did it again and again, adding my own moves, making bigger fire until I was out of breath.
"Beautiful…" I heard Uncle's voice whisper. I turned to him and bowed.
"Oh…. Uncle I…"
"No, Kiza! That was amazing! And your so young!"
"I'm a big girl Uncle! I'm 6!"
Uncle laughed until his wrinkles seemed to eat up his eyes. "True! And big girls need big rest too!"
I wanted to firebendy some more though! "Yes, Uncle…" I said sadly marching to my room.
"But wait!" Uncle pulled me back towards him. "Do your father's move once for me…"
I smiled and laughed then stood in the middle of the room. I did the move for uncle again then ended with a bigger blast of fire than ever!
"Woah!" I screamed to myself. Uncle applauded.
"Now try it like this!"
Uncle spread his legs and bent down. He threw his hands back and did some fast, complicated stuff… but I got it! He ended it was 5 blasts of fire and many jumps and spins. I copied and ended up with 7 blasts.
I looked at Uncle. His eyes were wide and his mouth was open. "Mommy says it's not lady-like to leave your mouth open, Uncle Iroh!"
"A true prodigy…"
"A true poddy…. What's that?"
