Little Known Facts
1) The first time Mai met Zuko, she almost kills him with one of her knives. Coincidently, that was also the day Mai learns the importance of aiming.
2) Mai liked Zuko better with short hair.
3) Mai doesn't really consider herself the jealous type. But the first time she met Katara outside of battle and saw how friendly she was with Zuko, they met eyes, said a simple hello to each other, and entered an icy staring contest, neither one blinking. It took a few tense and frightening moments of silence before Sokka and Zuko realized what was happening.
Fortanetly, they were able to seperate the two warriors before things escelated any further.
4) After a spectacular battle where sharp steel met hard earth, Mai finally received Toph's blessing.
You know, for a crazy emo girl, you're not half bad...
5) Mai doesn't know what an emo is, but doesn't feel like pushing her luck by asking.

Are you sure? It's the fastest way to travel.
8) When a group of terrorist kidnapped the Fire Lord and his 7-year old daughter, they hid in a mountain fortress so well defended, not even the famed Fire Nation Shock Troopers could break in.
However, in one night, a single warrior burst through the front doors, destroyed every last criminal, and freed the hostages. She fought with enough raw fury and power to rival that of the ancient dragons themselves. During the whole fiasco, the terrorists wondered if they were fighting a woman or a demon.
As the final warrior lays on the ground, a crimson puddle forming under him, darkness creeping into the edges of his vision, he looks up to his opponent and asked in a quivering voice, "Who...who are you." She turned to him, eyes blazing with the flames of a thousand volcanoes.
"Your worst nightmare: a wife and mother."
9) The second time Zuko met Mai, he almost kills her. How was he supposed to know that the shelves in the Library weren't bolted down and would topple like dominoes? And what was she doing in the Library alone, anyways?
10) One day, Zuko sat down with his 4-year old son and tried to explain to him the importance of patience. Kuzon got bored and accidentally set the table cloth on fire. The only thing that Mai had to say to her son was, "You're definetly your father's son, all right," with the ghost of a smile on her face.

12) Mai was an even worse cook.
13) Zuko slept on the couch the night he made a joke about Mai's dancing and cooking.
14) Zuko thought Mai looked better with her hair tied back.
15) The third time Zuko bumps into Mai (literally), he makes her drop the fragile porcelein tea set that she holding. When a stern-faced Royal Caretaker asks who made the mess, Zuko and Mai remain silent with bowed heads.
A frighteningly tense moment passes befor Mai looks up, tears already forming in her eyes.
"I'm sorry. It was an accide-"
"It was me," interrupts Zuko. "I dropped it. She had nothing to do with it." Zuko doesn't turn his head to see Mai's confused expression.
"Your father will not be happy to hear about this, Prince Zuko."
As Mai watches the Prince walk away to a punishment that should have been hers, she feels a warm blush cover her face.
Author's Notes:
It's been a while since I've had a chance to write and post a story, so sorry about the wait. Going ons at home are making it increasingly difficult to actually do write. The biggest distraction being school (Thought I was gonna go on another rant about my unborn nephew, didn't ya?). I'm kinda on my own registering for school here, so it's been kinda hectic.
I'm also working on another story. Any free time to write is gonna go to that, so the time in between updates may be a while. Sorry. It's gonna be a Zuko centric story. Don't wanna give to much away, so I'll just say it's a Groundhog's Day/Tales of Ba Sing Se crossover. Looking for beta-readers, so tell me if you're interested.
