This is and AU of Chapter 5. Go read it if you haven't yet already done so.

Quick summary of Ch. 5: Sokka cooly proposes to Azula by saying that if she was to marry him she would rule the world. If she married him and his sister marries Aang and Zuko marries Toph, all would be well. Their plan would work, since they're both caught in the middle.

This like an AU of that chapter. Hope you enjoy it! XD


Random Thoughts: Crack Pairings

Sokkla: Promise (and hints of other characters... not really)

"You promised me." She said with a tremble in her voice as Sokka's bleeding head was in her lap. "You said we would have heirs didn't you? Heirs Sokka, heirs! A heir is not enough remember?" Tears welled up in her eyes. He reached a hand and touched the side of her cheeks.

"A heir is enough Azula." His hand slowly trailed down to her stomach, a small bump forming there.

"No, no, it's not. One is never enough Sokka. There has to be two. More... more than two Sokka. You said that we would have a bunch... and they would take over the world. You said so yourself." Her tears fell onto his eye lids. Off into the distance, they heard a loud shot. Sokka grabbed Azula's hands.

"You have to go. Now." He got up and looked into her teary eyes, and hugged her tight.

"Please, go now... I don't want to lose you." The booming got louder. He held her closely one last time before letting go.

"Go! Now!" He pushed her away and she ran... away from him, from their home, away from death... death with him.

Sokka stood and walked towards the intruding Fire Nation ships, his boomerang loosely held in his hand.


Zuko looked into his telescope and saw the damage done to the Water Tribe.

"Sir," Said one of the soldiers on the ship, "We've found it. The place where your sister ran away with the Water Tribe peasant." Zuko put down his telescope.

"Good. We're going to bring her back." The soldier nodded and left.


Azula was running-no, sprinting away. Away from everything as she heard loud shouts coming from behind her in the village.

"Help!" She heard some of them say.

She wiped at her tears. Under any circumstance, she would have helped but not this time. She was running away... for her beloved.

She didn't even turn back and look when a loud explosion came.

'Don't ever look back. Don't.' Those were the words he told her as he held her closely.

Tears traveled down her face and she harshly wiped them away.

"I will never forget you. Never. I will come back. I promise you."


Zuko and his men looked outside from their ship. There was a man. He was carrying a boomerang. They were confused as to why the man was doing there.

Before they could even react the man threw his boomerang at them, heading towards the control room causing a big explosion.

Everything turned black.

Zuko had no idea where he was but he knew that this was not where he was supposed to be.

'Wake up!'


3 weeks later Katara and the Water Tribe wished Sokka farewell as they let his boomerang and coat drift off into the sea. They threw in flowers for him.

Katara had noticed that there was a flower that was different. A fire lily.

"Why is this here?" Katara asked, mostly to herself.

"She was here." Said a little Water Tribe girl as other kids filed in, one by one, holding a fire lily.

"She came back for him." Katara ignored their strange behavior and looked back to the sea and found... a bunch of firle lilies in it. There was no more flowers they threw in but fire lilies.

"How did this happen?" Katara looked over at the kids. The same girl that mentioned about 'her' stepped up and gently put her fire lily in the sea.

"She was here. She promised and she kept it. That's all that matters right?" She looked up into Katara's eyes. The rest of the kids looked at her expectantly. It was as if they... were asking her is it was alright... alright for them to put it in.

"This was for them." One of the boys said, holding a fire lily in Katara's face. "They really, really loved each other. I'm going to put it in." As the little boy did so, many others threw in theirs too.

"This is the Chief's dragon. Many years ago, when it was really cold here." He had his hands all over the air they were breathing in. "A brave Chief, in order to protect his people from dying, he went in search for his own dragon. When he found one, it didn't hurt him at all but made beautiful and warm fire for him. When he came back, all the villagers feared him. But when an elderly got sick, the dragon used it's breath to warm her. They were in love he said and because of that, he and his dragon went away after they helped the elder. They didn't know but the dragon and the chief was never to be separated." The little boy said and stepped back into the group as the girl from before stepped up, her turn to finish.

Katara knew this. She knew it all too well. This was probably what Sokka told the Water Tribe kids.

"The Chief and the Dragon was going to live happily ever after but..." The little girl had tears in her eyes and some kids hugged each other.

"It was just too cold for the dragon."


"Mommy, mommy!" The little boy shouted at his mother. "Look at what I can do." The little boy waterbended the water inside the cup and made animals out of them.

"Good job sweetie." Azula bent down and kissed her four year old son. He had tan skin like his father, brown hair like his father, and blue eyes like his father. He was a complete replica of Sokka. He even had his appetite too.

"Hey, mommy?" He stopped playing and looked his mother in the eyes.

"Hm?"

"Are we running away from the blind girl again? I don't like her. She keeps chasing us and we don't spend enough time together." He pouted. Azula smiled and pinched his cheeks.

"You know, she used to be a kid just like you. She used to brag about her earthbending even though not much of us really cares. But, it was still cute. Kinda."

"Really?" He asked, eyes full of anticipation.

"Really." She said with a reassuring smile.

"But you said kinda." He crossed his tiny arms.

"Yeah because she was always trying to show it off. I remember that one time where she was trying to beat your daddy."

"My daddy?" He asked with big eyes.

"Yeah, your daddy." She gave him a sad smile. He put his tiny hand on her cheeks.

"Mommy, you don't have to tell me. Don't tell me. You always look like you're in pain. I don't want you to talk about my daddy if it hurts you." He had a serious look on his face. She smiled at him.

"It's ok, I'm alright. I won't die from talking about him." SHe put her hands on top of his small ones.

"Don't worry. Now come on, we have to go." He groaned.

"Already?" He asked irritated.

"Yes, already." She said with a small smile. He was just too cute when he pouted.

"Fine."


He was something that they both weren't. He was a waterbender, she concluded.

Sokka was a non-bender and Azula was a firebender. Their child was too different from them. But, that was what Azula loved most about their child.

He was gonna be a war child. A start of a war, she didn't want that. That's why she fled, town to town, nation to nation.

He wasn't just any war child, he was theirs. He was their war child and that made him special to her but that one thought always made her sad.

He is a war child.


A young monk stood outside a shop as kids ran around playing. His goal was to look for someone.

He saw a woman and her child walk by.

"Hey, lady, why are you dressed like that? Are you a monster?" The kid asked as the other kids laughed. He noticed that the child didn't like it very much.

"Kids, you wouldn't like to spend the day meditating with me, would you?" The kids shook their heads.

"Okay, then leave." They left and Aang flashed a smile at the stranger and her kid.

Before they had gone too far past Aang, the woman whispered, "Thank you."

Aang smiled. Just this once, he would let it slide.

"Good luck!" The woman flinched at his voice but turned back and smile at him.

"Thank you Aang!" Aang noticed the kid tugging Azula's cloak and asked her if she knew him.

He smiled at them. They were lovely, from head to toe. Too bad, the world didn't want them any longer.

"Maybe some day, you will be able to live happily."


"Mommy, where is this?" He asked curiously as they passed an ice glacier.

"This is an important place for mother." Azula told him as their boat came to a stop.

"Here, let mommy help you." She said with a smile as she helped him off the boat. They both landed their feet on ice as a snowy breeze swept through.

Azula closed her eyes as she inhaled the air, her hair flowing in the wind.

"It feels like home." Azula told her son with her eyes still shut.

"I guess." He said unknowingly. She smiled and opened her eyes. She went back to the boat and brought out a bouquet of fire lilies.

"Want to help me?" She asked and he nodded enthusiastically.

"Here." She said as she gave him the bouquet.

"What do I do with it?" She grabbed more fire lilies from the boat and tossed them out to sea. He saw his mother do that and followed.

"I hope this gets to you."


Katara was outside. She was looking for the kids. They've gone missing again. She didn't know what to do.

She decided that she'll check the sea again, in case they were somehow there. When she got there she found them again.

For some reason unknown, they were always there. She came up behind them and noticed the same exact flowers from 4 years ago there.

"She was here."

Katara knew who they were talking about now.

"These are for him." A boy said.

"I hope he knows." One girl said.

They were insane. Sokka hasn't been found for years, why would he be now.

"I really do hope so."


"Why do we keep coming here?"

"Because," She said and looked deep into his blue eyes, "It's where I lost your father."

He looked back out to sea and grabbed her hands. "But you still came back."

She tightened her hold on his hand. "I promised."


HELP! I need to find a name for their lovely war child! I can't just keep calling him kid and he and him! That's boring!

Also, you guys must be wondering why I kept mentioning the Water Tribe kids. It's because I would love to think that they got attached to Sokka and Azula.

Anyways, to give you guys the full summary of the AU, Azula ran away from home and fell in love with Sokka or they fell in live and then she ran away from home. The thing about this is that... Azula was never really loved by Ozai and the reason is because he thinks that Azula is trying to outstand Zuko. She's a girl and Zuko's a boy and not only just that but Zuko is the real heir to the throne so... yeah, you know, it sucks to have your younger kid to be better than your oldest right? Well that's how it's like in that family. Now, with Katara and Sokka, Hakoda died so Sokka's chief of the tribe and Katara's just kinda there. Katara and Sokka has an awkward relationship but they still care for each other dearly. For Aang, he's a monk. I think he was supposed to find Azula and protect her but Gyatso never finished the words before he died so... that's another misunderstanding. So Toph, she was loved by her parents but they were killed. Later on, she was found and helped by June. She became her bounty partner. Toph's story is that, Zuko paid June to find Azula but June was... I don't know something so Toph took the job and went looking for Azula. She's practically behind their tails, just a bit slower. Also, I would love to tell you guys that there is Iroh and June love moments too XD Not in that way of course but you know, fluffy and romantic. That's what Iroh is.

Bye! Enjoy! And review! Don't forget to review!
