Prompt 4: Cats
Zuka was depressed. She'd just received an invitation to Aang and Katara's wedding. Not long before, she received a letter from Suki saying that she and Sokka were finally engaged. Azulon and Ty Lee were married little over a month ago in the most low-key royal wedding ever. She was the only one that was still alone. Except Toph and Toph was Toph.
She sighed again and headed out into the garden and found Ty Lee sitting in the grass, her back to a tree and Azulon's head cradled in her lap. "You two are impossible."
"Want to remind me of you and Mai making out during our Ember Island trip?" Azulon shoots back.
"Everyone is getting married except for me!" Zuka threw her hands you in the air and glumly sat down beside her sister-in-law.
"Oh, I'm sure there's someone out there for you, Zuka… you just have to believe." Ty Lee said draping an arm around her shoulders.
"I know, I know. Ever since Mai left… I just feel like there's no one out there for me. Plus my councilors keep telling me I have to get married and produce an heir." As silly as it was, she didn't want to get married to some man just to produce an heir. She wanted to be a mother, but not with a loveless marriage. She sighed again.
"ZuZu," Azulon sat up and turned to look at his elder sister. "Don't let those stuffy old AshMakers tell you what to do. Besides," he stood up and rounded one of the larger hedges in the garden and returned with two small cats. "If you become an old spinster, you already have the cats covered."
Zuka scowled at her brother, then snatched one of the kittens from her brother and cuddled it to her chest. "Shut up."
Ty Lee laughed and took the other kitten, talking to it like a baby.
Azulon shook his head and went inside the palace.
At least if she didn't have children, they wouldn't end up insane like the rest of her family. "You aren't crazy, are you little one?"
"Meow!"
