Azula's deception

When Sokka and Irma flew back to the palace the two were leaning against the balcony on different sides.

"Sleep well Mira," Sokka said.

"Goodnight Sokka," Irma replied.

"Hey Mira," Sokka said.

"Yeah?" Irma asked looking up. Her eyes widened when Sokka kissed her. Then she closed her eyes and kissed him back. When Sokka pulled away he smirked at Irma and walked back into his room.

Irma stared after him n shock for a minute before pumping her fists. "YES!" She cried, flopping down on Hay Lin's back. When they landed Hay Lin turned back to normal size and Irma looked back up at Sokka's balcony. "For the first time in my life things are starting to look up."

"IRMA! LOOK OUT!" Hay Lin screamed suddenly. Irma whipped around just in time to see Zhao and his men grab and gag her mouth. She looked up and saw them binding Hay Lin's hands and gagging her mouth. Irma looked around, but didn't see Chris or the lamp with Yan Lin inside anywhere.

'At least Chris is okay!' Irma thought. When she looked around her eyes widened when Azula and Ty Lee stepped forward.

"It's looks like you've worn out your welcome Princess Ambaba," Azula sneered. Irma narrowed her eyes in anger at the woman in front of her and struggled against her bindings. Azula and Ty Lee turned to leave. "Make sure she and her guardian friend are never found," Azula ordered.

Hay Lin and Irma both struggled for a moment before the guards knocked them unconscious. A little while later Zhao laughed darkly as he and his men threw Irma and Hay Lin off the cliff with heavy chains and a large metal ball tied to them. As Irma and Hay Lin landed in the ocean beneath them Zhao and his men left the cliff.

Suddenly Chris darted out to the cliff edge. He had scurried off with the lamp the second he saw the guards coming. "Oh boy, Irma, Hay Lin, you guys better be okay!" He said as he threw the lamp into the ocean.

As Irma and Hay Lin were losing air at the ocean bottom the lamp came to rest near them. Irma tried to get close to the lamp to rub it, but lost consciousness before she could do so. Hay Lin collapsed as well. As she fell Irma's fingers rubbed against the lamp. Yan Lin appeared out of the lamp wearing a bath robe.

"Never fails. Get in the bath and there's a rub at the lamp," She said. Then she looked down and gasped at the sight of her granddaughter and master lying on the ocean floor.

"Irma, Granddaughter! Both of you snap out of it!" She cried. "You can't cheat on this one. You have to say 'Yan Lin I wish for you to save my life!' Got it? Come on Irma!" She held Irma up and Irma's head dropped forward, as if nodding.

"I'll take that as a yes," Yan Lin said. Then she quickly turned into a submarine and scooped up Hay Lin and Irma. She exploded above the water a second and a half later placing Irma and Hay Lin on the ground beside the anxious Chris, who quickly undid the girls' bindings as Hay Lin unchained them.

Irma and Hay Lin coughed as the regained consciousness. Yan Lin put her arms around both of them. "Don't ever scare me like that again! An old woman like me can't handle it!" She cried.

"Yeah and I'm too young to able to handle it!" Chris cried.

"Yan Lin…thanks," Irma smiled. Hay Lin smiled at her grandmother as the old genie hugged them both. "I'm getting kinda fond of you, Irma," She said.

Then she went giant mode and scooped up the girls and Chris as she flew back to the palace.

Meanwhile Sokka was in room lying on his bed thinking about 'Mira,' with Katara giggling at his dazed expression, when their father entered the room.

"Sokka?" He asked.

Sokka jumped off the bed with a huge smile on his face. "Dad you are not going to believe this! I just had the greatest night of my life and I am one happy guy!"

"You should be son," Hakoda said in a monotone voice.

"Wait. What?" Sokka asked confused as he shared a look with his sister.

"You will marry Azula," Hakoda said as the door opened to reveal Azula with Ty Lee standing behind her.

Sokka and Katara's jaws dropped at what their dad had just said.

"I see you're speechless. Hopefully that will happen more often in the future," Azula said as she walked up.

"You're crazy if you think I'm going to marry you!" Sokka cried.

Katara turned to her father, who was under the spell of Azula's staff. "Dad you nuts!? This chick is insane!"

"Dad I want to marry Princess Mira!" Sokka cried.

"Princess Mira left," Azula said.

"Better double check your crystal ball, Azula," Irma said suddenly, leaning against the wall with Hay Lin.

"Mira!" Sokka cried with a huge grin.

"How in the heck did she-" Ty Lee cried, before pretending she didn't know anything about the subject and trying to look oblivious.

"Tell the truth Azula!" Hay Lin cried.

"Yeah you know, how you had the guards almost kill Hay Lin and I!" Irma said.

"Why this is absolute nonsense. The girls are obviously lying," Azula said holding her staff in front of Hakoda to influence him more."

"Obviously…lying," Hakoda repeated.

"Dad are you okay?" Katara cried.

"What's wrong with you!?" Sokka cried.

"I know what's wrong!" Irma said grabbing the staff from Azula. Then she slammed the staff on the ground breaking both the staff and the spell on Hakoda.

"What happened?" Hakoda asked.

"Your highness, Azula's been controlling you with this," Irma said holding the broken staff out to Hakoda.

"What?!" Hakoda cried angrily. Then he turned to Azula. "Azula, Ty Lee, you traitors!"

Ty Lee then cart-wheeled toward 'Mira' but Katara jumped in between and shot a blast of water at the acrobat, sending her flying.

"Try doing some damage now, Circus Freak!" The water bender cried.

"You majesty this can all be explained," Azula said trying to cover up as she and her sidekick backed away.

"Guards! Guards!" Hakoda cried.

"Oh, that it! We're dead! Just dig a grave for both of us, because we are so dead!" Ty Lee cried.

Then Azula saw the lamp attached to a belt tied to Irma's waist. The woman tried to grab it, but the guards grabbed her and Ty Lee. As the dragged the two women away, Azula glared at Irma.

"This is done yet, brat!" She cried. Then in a flash of powder, Azula and Ty Lee disappeared.

"Find them! Search everywhere!" Hakoda shouted.

"Mira are you okay?" Sokka asked.

"I'm fine," She said as she and Sokka hugged.

"Now that was just creepy," Hay Lin said.

"No argument there," Katara agreed.

"Nice water bending by the way," The guardian said.

"Oh thank, nice wings," The water bender complimented.

Then Hakoda turned and saw his son and 'Mira'. "Wait a minute. Sokka you've finally chosen a suitor?" He asked excitedly.

"Yep," Sokka replied with a nod.

"This is wonderful news!" Hakoda cried. "The two of you will be wed at once. And then you my dear will become queen of Agrabah!" He said to Irma.

"Queen?" Irma asked as Sokka hugged her. She knew that she should be happy, but she couldn't help but think about her promise to Yan Lin.

Meanwhile, Azula and Ty Lee ran into their secret lair and the acrobat made a mad dash for her things.

"We gotta get out here! I gotta start packing! I got all we'll need. Weapons, clothes, and how about this picture? I think I'm making a weird face in it though-"

The pink girl's ranting was cut off but Azula, who was laughing like a maniac.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha!" She laughed banging against the door. "AH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!"

"Oh boy, she's cracked. She's gone nuts!" Ty Lee said, going in front of her friend. "Azula, Azula! Get a grip!"

Azula abruptly stopped laughed and grabbed Ty Lee by the throat. "ACK! Good grip!" Ty Lee chocked out.

"Princess Mira is no more than that pathetic street rat Irma Lair!" Azula cried. "And she has the lamp."

"Why that little-" Ty Lee began.

"YOU are going to retrieve it for me!" Azula ordered Ty Lee.

"I'm what?!" Ty Lee cried.

W.I.T.C.H. fan: Wow that was a fast update. Now I would like to recommend a moment of silence in memory of Michael Jackson who, as I'm sure almost all of you must know, passed away yesterday afternoon. He will always be remembered as a music legend.
