Thanks to Spirit World for the suggestion pairing for this AU chapter!

Azula, she was the new girl at school whom not very many people took a liking to, but Sokka…well he found something he liked about her. Whether it was the death threats she had made against him or not, he still had a soft spot for her. And so this is how they ended up dating for their schooling life.

The last year of their Senior Year was occurring as they spoke, and their school day had just ended. Of course they'd be going back tomorrow but they had hours of studying ready for them when they got home.

"Hey, babe, do you want to come back to my place?"

Azula's eyes which had been glazed over now turned back to normal as she took the headphones out of her ears.

"What?"

"Do you want to come back to my place to study?" he repeats is question.

She shrugs. "Oh yeah, sure," she says in a monotone.

Sokka frowns but nonetheless continues to lead her to his car. Azula had been the same from day one. Never wanting to associate herself with others, always miserable…it's like she didn't have any emotions at all. Sokka noted that he'd have to meet her family.

Sokka opened the door for his girlfriend and they walked inside his house. They sat in his room and immediately Sokka tipped his bag upside down to reveal the contents of his bag. Next he unzipped a smaller compartment retrieving his mobile and placing it gently on the desk next to him.

The two studied for almost an hour and was already getting bored.

"OK, if y equals the square root of 64 and-"Sokka started before a buzzing sound and a ringing tone erupted through the room. Sokka quickly pounced on his mobile and muttered to himself what was written on the screen, 'Ready'. Sokka grinned and instantly took Azula's hand, much too abrupt for Azula, and headed upstairs.

"Now where are we going?"

"You'll see."

They reached the room on the second floor of the house and ended up staring blankly at the tarred street and surrounding houses out the window. "Wow, well this is surely exciting," Azula points out sarcastically.

But suddenly a melody began to fill her ears. A tune Azula had continuously listened to when she was a small girl. How did he know? This brings back memories.

"Uh, what is this?" she asked, looking around dumbly at the Scottish men who had revealed themselves who were playing the bagpipes. She raised an eyebrow questioningly and frowned.

They wore clothing Azula would never what to see again in her life, with mixes of reds and blacks.

"Well you're never cheerful so I thought that this would make you happy," Sokka stated a little uncertainly.

Azula made a face as if to say 'you can't be serious'? as she watched them dance around.

"How do you think this would make me happy?"

Sokka recoiled slightly. "Well music is meant to do that. Don't you feel your aura becoming more…colourful?" he asked hopefully.

The pipers had now stopped playing and Azula shot them an evil glare, which even they could make out from her place at the window. "Did I say you could stop playing?" she shouted angrily.

They immediately commenced playing again and Sokka chuckled.

"Yes," she replied from Sokka's previous question with a devious glare, but a slight smile playing at her lips.

Sokka shrugged. "Well, it's a start."

Azula broke out into a smile and pulled him into a kiss as the men continued playing.
