A Day at the Beach – Chapter Sixty-Three

The two noblewomen gazed at their leader with deadpan eyes while the controlling woman waited for their young friend to change into her chosen bathing suit.

"Please tell me that you didn't give her something perverted Azula…" Ty Lee trailed off with her hands on her hips as she stood in a white bathing suit.

"Nothing too revealing I assure you." Azula spoke with a smug smile adorning her lips that had both of her childhood friends gazing at her in obvious distrust.

The Princess of the Fire Nation now wore an elegant red two-piece swim suit with her national symbol above her chest.

It was complete with a pair of short shorts that nicely accentuated the royal woman's round posterior.

"Azula-sama! This feels…rather tight." Elle called out from inside the changing room while Azula still smiled broadly while both women turned to gaze at her incredulously.

"Tight? You gave a thirteen-year-old a tight bathing suit?" Mai asked in a monotone voice as she too stood in a lovely two-piece bathing suit.

Including long leggings to help prevent her legs from getting scorched from the days sun.

"That's how bathing suits are supposed to be dear." The princess remarked in a charming voice with a hand on her hip while the acrobat folded her arms over her chest in disapproval.

"Really? I've never worn one before…" The blonde-haired girl muttered through the door as she shifted on her feet.

"Why don't you come out and show us? And then I'll let you know if you'll be wearing it to the beach." Azula commented with a sophisticated smirk on her full lips while Ty Lee directed a scowl her way.

"Why don't you let Elle decide for herself Azula." The brown-haired woman suggested in a flat undertone as the royal woman scrunched her nose up.

"Waste of breath." The markswoman snorted as she scanned her fingernails with bored tawny eyes.

"O-okay. As you say Azula-sama." Elle answered as she began to pad out of the changing room.

"What? You want me to let her think on her own?" The princess pondered in an interrogative voice while both noblewomen gazed at her dryly.

"Yeah." Ty Lee replied in a sighing voice while Azula released a haughty scoff as she turned away.

"That's ridiculous Ty Lee! I am the master in this relationship and I make her decisions for her." Azula huffed as she waved a hand in the air while the acrobat groaned in frustration behind her.

"Told you." Mai said in her usual monotone voice only for her composed tawny eyes to widen when her adopted sister stepped out of the changing room.

Ty Lee's eyes widened as well as her mouth fell open in puzzlement while she tried to suppress the blush on her cheeks.

And Azula's smirk only seemed to grow by tenfold as she turned to survey the bashful girl with possessive golden eyes.

The cause for the two noblewomen's shock was quite obvious.

Their little sister was wearing a maid stylized bikini set!

The young handmaid was wearing a red skirted bikini bottom with a black trim.

Along with a likewise stylized bra that covered her developing breasts as well as her still bandaged wound.

And around her neckline was a simply lovable black bow tie that hung over her necklace.

"H-how do I look Azula-sama…" The blonde-haired girl mumbled in a mousy voice as she adorably kicked at an imaginary pebble with her bare foot unaware that her master's hungry eyes were devouring her image.

"Maid lingerie Azula?" The brown-haired woman asked in a taken aback voice as she scratched her cheek with a nervous fingertip while the small girl continued to adorably prod the flooring with her toe.

"By Agni Azula…what's with your obsession with handmaids?" The markswoman questioned in an almost taunting voice while the royal woman strode ahead with a smirk on her lips.

"Hm. Come here little handmaid. I feel as if I need to get a closer look." The princess commanded in a domineering voice with a finger under her chin while she watched her pet scurry forward.

"Yes Azula-sama!" Elle chirped like a devoted puppy before she came to a stop before her much taller master while bounced in a curtsy with both of her hands tucked in at her sides.

And then the teenager stood in a perfect bow while she patiently waited with a blush on her cheeks while the monarch's controlling eyes glanced over her body.

"Spin for me peasant." Azula demanded in a pompous voice with a fist on her hip while Elle twirled around on command.

All the while both noblewomen rolled their eyes over their leaders' absurd behavior.

"Like I said Azula. You have got to be the most overbearing woman on the face of this planet. I can't believe that Elle even puts up with this." Mai stated in an impassive voice as she folded her arms over her chest while the acrobat huffed in agreement alongside her.

"D-do I look pretty Azula-sama?" The blonde-haired girl requested in an anxious voice unaware that the older girl was ogling her posterior.

"Of course, you do. You are always beautiful." The princess snorted with a roll of her regal eyes while her handmaid spun around with a hopeful smile on her lips.

"R-really?" Elle stuttered as she swooned under Azula's strict gaze while her girlfriend effortlessly towered over her.

"Yes servant. Really." Azula sighed with her hands on her womanly hips while she smirked down at her pet as her girlfriend held a dainty hand to her cheek.

"I-I'm so happy that you think so Azula-sama…I want to be a pretty girl for you." The blonde-haired girl admitted in a bashful voice as she rubbed her toe on the ground while the acrobat smiled at the scene.

"Aww. That's so sweet Azula." Ty Lee commented in a tender voice with a growing grin on her lips.

"It's settled then. This outfit is to our liking." The princess declared in a smug voice as she reached down to place a fingertip under her quivering pet's chin while the smaller girl swooned under her dominant gaze.

"You mean to your liking." The markswoman said dryly as she rolled her eyes while the young girl blushed under the monarch's gaze.

"Y-you look b-beautiful in that outfit Azula-sama." Elle murmured in a timid voice as she twiddled her thumbs while Azula grinned as she swelled in pride above her.

"Humph. Tell me something that I don't already know peasant." Azula scoffed in a supremely egotistical voice as she held onto her handmaid's chin while her little admirer craned her neck to meet her powerful gaze.

"M-my fire queen." The blonde-haired girl stammered as she blushed like a schoolgirl just as her girlfriend's palm patted her cheek.

Her heart began to race as she gazed up at the statuesque woman's smirking face only to find herself gulping when her girlfriend stooped over her.

And then just like that royal lips crushed into her own while she trembled under the older girl's touch.

Azula's lips effortlessly overpowered her own while she stood frozen gazing up into confident golden eyes that never failed to send a pleasurable shiver down her spine.

And then she found herself gasping when her girlfriend's full lips slowly slid off her own while the royal woman teasingly traced her fingernail along her trembling cheek.

The acrobat smiled widely as she turned to the markswoman's softened face before they turned back to the heartwarming scene.

"Are you still with me dear?" The princess cooed with a giant smirk on her lips while she loomed over her little girlfriend's gasping face.

"O-oh my." Elle stuttered in a confuddled voice just as Azula's hot breath washed over her cheek while her master leaned in to breath against her ear.

"Let's go Elle." Azula spoke in a captivating voice as she stood up to her full height with a smug smirk adorning her red lips while Elle still stood frozen in shock.

"I swear Azula. You are shameless." Mai stated with her arms over her breasts while she gazed at her paralyzed adopted sister in sympathy.

The small girl stood in her handmaid bikini as she blinked her amber eyes only to straighten in a panic when she heard two fingers loudly snap her to attention.

"Come! Follow your goddess to the beach." The princess commanded with a spoiled smirk before she resumed her walk while she swayed her posterior before her girlfriend's spellbound eyes.

"Yeah. Definitely shameless." Ty Lee muttered with a sigh while she shook her head as she still smiled all the while.

"Y-yes princess…as you…command." The blonde-haired girl responded in a transfixed voice as she padded after her older girlfriend while she tried her hardest to not gaze upon her round backside to no avail.

A twinge of pink spread across her cheek as she gulped before she quickly turned away from Azula's swaying posterior while its flawless red shape continued to move in her line of vision.

And with that the two noblewomen sighed heavily before they followed after their two friends.

All the while Azula strode with a confident smirk on her lips while her overwhelmed girlfriend followed after her like a lovesick puppy.

"P-please show mercy Azula-sama." Elle pleaded in a lovable voice as she averted her eyes from Azula's round backside while her big sisters glared at her girlfriend's smirking face.

"Mercy? From what? I'm just walking." Azula taunted in a pompous voice with her posterior shaking behind her while Elle began to tremble as she averted her eyes.

Only for the acrobat's hand to pull her aside while the noblewomen cast her leader a scolding stare.

"It's okay little sister! Just ignore her. She's just being an ass." The brown-haired woman assured with her arm over the smaller girl's shoulders while her little sister adorably chewed on her lip.

"Well then. Let's go get Nako and then we'll leave." The princess announced in a supremely authoritative voice with large smirk still adorning her lovely lips.

Her three subordinates followed after her while they quickly collected their towels and umbrellas.

And the teenager slipped her backpack over her shoulders.

And with that the foursome strode through their lavish hotel suite while Elle frantically gazed at the nearest wall.

All the while Azula's red clothed ass continued to sway while Ty Lee and Mai both glared at her back in disapproval.

Even so…

It was not long before they reunited with their new friend.

The royal pilot stood waiting at the end of a hall in casual beachwear while she turned to face her approaching monarch.

"I'm all set Your Highness!" Nako informed with a bag over her shoulder as she bent her head in respect while Azula nodded in approval.

"Perfect. We're all set then. Now we can proceed on to our destination." Azula spoke while she smashed her fists together with a sanguine smile upon her lips.

Mai sighed as she gazed down at her fingernails with mildly annoyed tawny eyes while Elle began to beam in excitement of the inferno that was to come.

Ty Lee smiled with her hand on the teenager's shoulder while Nako watched in curiosity when the flames of war sudden began to blaze in Azula's golden eyes.

"Come my subordinates! Let us go dominate this beach into a submission so great that will leave our foes scarred for life! We will rule over this beach until the end of time!" The princess bellowed with her arms held out at her sides while blue fire now burned from her fists.

A profound silence had swept through the air that had both noblewomen and their pilot friend sweatdropping while they gazed blankly at their maliciously smirking leader's back.

Only for the sound of enthusiastic clapping to ring out into the air as all four women turned their heads to gaze back at Elle's brightly smiling face.

"You go Azula-sama! I just know that you'll dominate this beach!" The blonde-haired girl yelled out with a joyful grin while an even larger smirk grew onto Azula's red lips.

"Hm. Of course, I will. Just follow my lead Elle. And I will show you how I conquer the beach!" Azula shouted with her fist clenched before her face while Elle grasped onto her left bicep.

"Oh Azula-sama! You are so assertive!" Elle swooned with a hand on her cheek while adorably pressed her face into the much taller woman's bare belly.

"There is no woman more assertive than me. Now come with me servant. Let us begin our conquest of this beach." The princess scoffed as she brushed her bangs from her eyes while she strode ahead with her young girlfriend hanging onto her arm.

The other three women exchanged a glance as they watched the couple walk off before the pilot was the first one to break the silence.

"I'm new around here. Do we usually just follow after her?" The royal pilot questioned in a confused voice while her new friends sighed beside her.

"Pretty much! Yeah!" The brown-haired woman exclaimed as she held her umbrella over her shoulder as started walking after the two.

"May as well. If only for Elle's sake." The markswoman muttered in a bothered voice as she strode alongside her companions.

Not even a half hour later…

A luxurious beach umbrella suddenly pierced the sand which was soon followed up by a pile of items dropping down onto beach floor.

The group now stood on a vast sandy beach that overlooked the ocean while Elle gazed around with awestruck amber eyes.

All the while Ty Lee stood behind her with a cheerful smile on her lips.

She chose to leave her cast behind for the day so that she could at least get her feet wet without worry of getting sand in her cast.

Her foot was healing up nicely but it was still rather sore to be walking on.

But for today she was going to just let herself have fun.

"Wow! The ocean…it's so wondrous…" Elle trailed off in a voice of lovable wonderment while Azula stood over her with her fists on her hips.

Mai and Ty Lee gazed down at Elle with a shared fondness in their eyes while Azula lazily shrugged her shoulders.

All while Nako awkwardly gazed around with a nervous countenance as she took in the large crowds.

She has never been one for large gatherings.

"I suppose it is." Azula sighed with a smooth smile on her lips as she shifted on her feet beside her petite girlfriend only to pause in curiosity when her golden eyes caught sight of a kuai ball net.

The two noblewomen exchanged a knowing glance while they shivered as they took note of the way that their friend was violently narrowing her eyes.

"Please don't Azula. Not today." Ty Lee attempted to reason while a smug smirk began to form on Azula's lips.

"What's that Azula-sama?" The blonde-haired girl pondered as she peered up at her much taller girlfriend's regal face while the firebender turned to glance down at her.

"Oh that? That's kuai ball. I rather excel at it…as I do with all things. Even the most trivial of matters." The princess remarked with a finger under her chin while she smiled down at her admirer's innocent face.

"Oh! I see! It looks fun!" Elle chirped with childlike curiosity in her voice while she bit her lip as she watched a player kick the ball over the net.

"I've never played before." Nako commented as she stood behind Mai while the noblewomen just sighed in boredom.

"You want to see me destroy them, don't you?" Azula pondered as she tilted her head to gaze down at her pet with a confident smirk on her red lips.

"Huh?" The blonde-haired girl asked in a naïve voice as her big sister's shook their heads while her master smiled down at her.

"You won't be satisfied until I give you another demonstration of my strength! I can see it in your eyes! You require me to prove my skill at kuai ball!" The princess shouted with a clenched fist before her face while all but her handmaid sweatdropped behind her.

"Just say no Elle. It will spare those poor fools over there a great deal of suffering." Mai advised in a monotone voice as she gazed down at her little sister's adorably contemplative face.

"If you want Azula-sama! Sure!" Elle cried out with a radiant countenance as Azula's lips curved into a violent smirk while her childhood friends groaned in defeat.

"I knew it! Come with me servant! You can be my teammate." Azula commanded with a hand on her shapely hip while Elle gazed up at her with sparkling amber eyes.

"Y-your teammate Azula-sama?" The blonde-haired girl stuttered in a moved voice just when the royal woman began to drag her along by her bow tie.

"Of course! There are only two players on the opposing team. So, I can only pick one battle partner. And it is only natural that I would choose you." The princess explained with a wave of her hand while her handmaid swooned with a hand on her cheek.

"I…I get to be Azula-sama's teammate…" Elle gushed with a lovesick blush on her cheeks while her dominant girlfriend pulled her along.

"That's so pink Azula. You and Elle are going to play kuai ball together." Ty Lee giggled as she strode after her two friends while the others followed after her.

"I feel sorry for the opposing team." The markswoman commented in deadpan while the other two girl's sweatdropped in agreement.

A ball soared through the air while a male voice shouted in victory when the previous team finally left after facing two defeats in a row.

"Losers!" A boy named Doze shouted in a taunt beside his smiling girlfriend only to turn their heads in surprise when the stray ball was suddenly kicked high into the air.

Only to reel around in shock when they caught sight of the face of their newest challenger.

A barefoot slammed into the sandy beach while the ball sped back down over the newcomer's head.

Only for an open palm to skillfully catch it with the upmost of ease while a smaller girl shyly stood behind her.

"Is…that Princess Azula!" Yii exclaimed in alarm as she gaped at the sight of Azula's smirking face while Elle excitedly waved at her in greeting.

"Hello!" The blonde-haired girl cheered with a hand in the air while the two blinked back at her as they slowly registered her master's presence.

"The one and only…now listen well. Me and my servant challenge you to a game of kuai ball." Azula announced in a smooth voice with the ball in her open palm while the opposing team recoiled in astonishment.

The couple did a double take as they exchanged a look with one another before they quickly bowed their heads so as to avoid offending the monarch.

"You want to play kuai ball with us Your Highness? Alright. Any particular rules?" Doze pondered in a still taken aback voice while he gazed between Azula's stoic face and the amicable teenager girl.

"Simple rules. Whoever first scores ten points wins the game. And if you can defeat us…I will reward you with a chest of gold." The princess remarked in a haughty voice as she bounced the ball in her hand while she smirked when the couple nearly fell over in astonishment.

"A-A chest of gold?" The girlfriend breathed in a stunned voice while the royal woman rolled her golden eyes.

All the while a crowd of onlookers began to gawk at the scene after hearing their Crown Princess announce that there would be a reward.

"Yes peasant. A chest of gold to anyone that can defeat us." Azula boasted with a hand on her hip while Elle bashfully averted her eyes from the crowds scrutinizing gaze.

And the acrobat could only sigh alongside her fellow noblewomen who just rolled her eyes over their leaders' behavior.

"Now hordes of beach goers are going to be throwing balls at Elle. Azula is such a compassionate date." Mai muttered in a monotone voice as she scowled while the other two flinched in agreement.

"I'm sure that Azula will look out for Elle…she always does." Ty Lee sighed with a shake of her head as she seated herself on a towel while Mai did the same.

The couple exchanged another glance while Yii looked somewhat uncertain only for her boyfriend to turn to excitedly spin around to face Azula.

"We accept!" The boyfriend exclaimed with a smile while the monarch's red lips curved into an even larger smile of her own.

"Wonderful. Out of the kindness of my heart. I'll let you have the first shot." The princess purred before she hurled the ball into the air just as the young man caught it with ease.

"B-but Azula-sama…I don't even know what the rules are." The blonde-haired girl asked in a mousy voice as she gazed up at her girlfriend for guidance while the royal woman offered her an ever-confident smile.

"The rules are simple. To win we must score ten points. Points are scored by using either your hands or your feet to hit the ball over the net." Azula explained as she huddled over her blushing girlfriend with her hands on her handmaid's shoulders.

"Oh! I understand!" Elle answered in a joyful voice as her cheeks turned redder when Azula leaned into breath against her ear.

"Do you see the way he is holding that ball Elle? There is a slight reduction in speed when he tosses the ball from his right hand and into his left. I am willing to bet that he has had a recent sports injury with his left arm. Aim for his left side and we'll destroy him." The princess whispered in a sadistic voice with a sanguine smirk on her lips while she delighted in how her loyal serving girl gazed up at her in admiration.

"Wow. You're so brilliant Azula-sama…I-I'll do my best not to let you down. I'm not good at sports…" The blonde-haired girl mumbled as she bit her lip in a self-conscious voice only for her smile to return when the older girl patted her shoulder.

"Don't you worry your little mind over it. It doesn't matter how inexperienced you are because you have me as your teammate." Azula declared as she crossed her arms over her breasts while Elle beamed up at her as they turned to face the enemy team.

The opposing couple broke out of their own huddle as they turned to face the two girls' while their eyes quickly swept over the teenager's naïve face.

It was more than apparent that the girl was Princess Azula's weak spot.

And the obvious target to strike to gain their ten points and win the prize.

"We're ready when you are Your Highness!" Doze called out as he spun the ball in his hand while he crouched beside his girlfriend.

"Well then…let us begin!" The princess shouted in a callous voice as she crouched alongside her timid girlfriend while her handmaid nervously intimidated her pose.

And her three subordinates now sat on their beach towels while they watched the young man kick the ball into the air.

Straight towards Elle just as they predicted.

Only for Azula to intercept the ball before it could impact with her young teammate.

The teenager jumped back with her feet sinking into the sand while she smiled gratefully at her master's back only to spring to action when the ball was fired back at them once more.

'That girl is obviously the weak link!' The boyfriend thought as he watched the ball shoot over the net only for his eyes to widen when the agile monarch kicked it back with terrifying accuracy.

Azula smirked as she dropped down into the sand beside her astonished handmaid when the ball soared over the net.

And then slammed into the sand below.

"One point for us Elle." Azula boasted in a smug voice as she turned to gaze down at her small girlfriend's nodding face.

All the while Team Azula watched the game from the sidelines as Mai and Ty Lee exchanged a knowing look with one another.

It was painfully apparent to them that Azula was only playing with the couple so that she could show off her strength to Elle.

And they could tell that Azula was holding back on her two unsuspecting victims to draw out the whole affair to impress their young friend.

In that moment Yii quickly swatted the ball back over the net while the young handmaid ran forward in hopes of impressing her mighty girlfriend.

Only to find herself failing to reach the ball in time as it very nearly hit the sand.

She turned red in embarrassment when Azula's taller body jumped in front of her and effortlessly kicked the ball into the air.

"S-sumimasen…" Elle stuttered in a timid voice only to jump to attention when Azula's strict voice called out to her.

And then the young handmaid stumbled backwards as she just barely kicked the ball up in time while she bit her lip in hopes of not embarrassing herself a second time.

"Go Elle!" The princess barked with a smug smirk while she watched her lovely girlfriend spring forward on command.

All The while the acrobat cheered from her seat while the markswoman began to smile as well alongside her.

"You can do it Elle!" Ty Lee cheered with a wide grin on her lips while Nako watched with amused golden eyes.

The small girl beamed as she ran alongside the monarch while the opposing team stood in position in hopes of catching the ball.

"To me Elle!" Azula commanded as she turned to her handmaid while Elle tossed the ball to her as she caught it with effortless ease.

And then she bounded towards the net while the two sprang forward to catch her throw.

Only to find themselves taken by surprise when she hurled the ball over her shoulder back into her serving girl's hands.

"I won't let you down Azula-sama!" The blonde-haired girl shouted as she aimed it as best as she could and then she tossed it high over the net.

She sunk back into the sands while she watched with excited amber eyes as the ball soared over the net to the left of the boy as her girlfriend had advised her to do.

And then…

Thud!

The ball landed in the sand just after Doze jumped to catch it only for it to just barely slip out of his grasp!

Frustration flashed in the young man's golden eyes as he turned to face the smirking Azula and the now beaming Elle.

"I did it! I scored a point Azula-sama!" Elle squealed as she hopped in her excitement while she swelled in pride when Azula gazed at her with approving golden eyes.

"Good job Elle." The princess complimented with a pleased smile on her regal lips while the two noblewomen and the pilot cheered from their seats.

"Way to go little sister!" The brown-haired woman yelled out with a giggle while her fellow noblewoman nodded in agreement.

"Yeah. Good work shorty." The markswoman stated with a sliver of fondness in her stoic voice while the teenager turned red under their combined praise.

"Nice shot!" The royal pilot called out with a grin while she held a hand in the air.

The petite girl blushed adorably only to find herself straightening in a panic once more when the ball soared into the air yet again.

The opposing couple exchanged a glance before Yii swatted the ball high over the net while the teenager sprang forward to catch it.

While Azula watched with stern golden eyes as she allowed her young girlfriend to attempt to make another play.

Only for her golden eyes to narrow in concealed concern when Elle suddenly clutched her bandaged chest.

The rest of Team Azula gazed on in concern as they watched the young girl skid in the dirt only for a ball to unceremoniously hit her in the forehead.

And then the poor girl dropped on her backside with a yelp while the enemy couple shared a victorious clap when the ball plopped into the sand with the downed girl.

All three women shuddered in renewed pity for the opposing team when they caught the way that Azula turned to gaze upon them with much colder eyes than before.

"S-sumimasen Azula-sama." The blonde-haired girl muttered in an ashamed voice while she averted her eyes from the couple's taunting gaze.

"Pardon me for saying so princess but it seems as if you should have picked a better teammate." Yii taunted as she smirked while Elle turned away in her shame.

Only for the royal woman to kick the ball into the air with a furious bare foot while she glared back at the laughing couple with dangerously narrowed golden eyes.

"Making fun of Elle isn't a smart thing to do." Mai snorted in a cold voice while Ty Lee scowled in the direction of the laughing couple.

"Yeah. They really shouldn't have done that." Ty Lee agreed with a huff while she watched the ball soar over the net with much greater speed than before.

Within mere seconds the couple's laughter died in their throats when the ball struck the young woman in the stomach like a bolt of lightning bending.

And then Yii released a cry of pain as she dropped like a rock onto the sandy beach.

And Doze turned pale when he turned back to gaze into Azula's now merciless golden eyes.

A bead of sweat dripped down his cheek as he sprang forward to kick the ball back.

Only for Azula to leap into the air and ruthlessly punch the ball back at him.

And then the ball soared like a meteor past the boyfriend's shocked head.

And straight into the sand once more.

And so, it went!

The Fire Nation Princess struck point after point in rapid succession.

While the now humiliated couple watched with their mouths ajar in disbelief as their chances of winning soared right out the metaphorical window.

Elle stood with her moved amber eyes gazing on at the scene as she watched Azula hurl the final point through the netting.

The ball flew with such force that it tore straight through the net before it barreled into the sandy ground with a thunderous explosion that sent the terrified couple flying to the wayside.

And the net exploded into flames while the crowd of eager onlookers who had previously been hoping to win the promised chest of gold were now backing away in terror.

The smoke from the explosion arose into the air while the smirking Azula elegantly dropped back down before the astonished Elle.

Team Azula sweatdropped as they exchanged an amused glance with one another.

"Azula-sama…" Elle mumbled as she fiddled her thumbs with a bashful blush on her cheeks while Azula stood over her with her fists on her shapely hips.

"T-this isn't worth a chest of gold!" Yii cried out as she helped her terrified boyfriend to his feet before they turned to run away.

"Y-you win! J-just please don't kill us!" Doze yelled out in terror as they sprinted away while Azula's maniacal laughter rang out into the air.

"Yes, run away! We have destroyed you for all time! You will never again rise above the ashes of your shame and humiliation!" Azula announced with a violent smile on her red lips while she stood confidently over her awestruck little girlfriend.

"Wow. I would hate to challenge the princess at kuai ball." Nako commented in a nervous voice while the two noblewomen sweatdropped beside her.

And with that the crowds began to ran away in mutual terror while the sadistic woman smirked as she watched them run off.

"That's right run you cowards! Our conquest cannot be stopped! And we will show no mercy to those that oppose us!" The princess bellowed as she stomped her foot into the sand while she smirked with her fist upon her hip while her handmaid cheered her on.

"You go Azula-sama! You're the best there is!" The blonde-haired girl shouted as she smiled up at her much taller girlfriend while the older female swelled in pride over her.

"We will reign over kuai ball until the end of time! And we will dominate the net! We will go down in history as the strongest duo that this sport has ever seen!" Azula called out in a sadistic voice with her fists clenching at her sides while her childhood friends sweatdropped over her megalomania.

"O-oh princess I just love it when you talk domination…" Elle swooned with a lovable flush on her cheeks as she averted her eyes from her master's smirking gaze.

Only for the royal woman's callous golden eyes to flash with a flicker of hidden concern when her gaze swept over her chest.

"Are you alright Elle?" The princess questioned in a strict voice as she stooped over to inspect her pet with a frown on her lips while her serving girl adorably kicked at an imaginary pebble.

"I-I'll be okay master." The blonde-haired girl mumbled as she stood still when a finger slid under her chin while her head was tilted to the side as callous golden eyes scrutinized her face.

"Hm. I don't see any bruises." Azula spoke in a displeased voice as she moved Elle's blushing face to the right while the acrobat smiled warmly at them from her seat.

"A-arigatou gozaimasu Azula-sama…for coming to my aid." Elle stuttered as she prodded the sand with her toe while she listened to Azula snort over her.

"It's not like I care what happens to you peasant. I simply cannot allow the public to think that it is acceptable to strike my vassal. Striking you is a direct insult to me. And that is the only reason…why I protected you." The princess grumbled in a prideful voice as she turned away to glare off to the side while her small girlfriend lovingly grasped onto her hand.

And both noblewomen found themselves unable to resist rolling their eyes over their spoiled friends obvious lie.

"Even so…arigatou my princess." The blonde-haired girl remarked with a bright smile as she clutched her girlfriend's hand while the woman huffed over her.

"Whatever peasant! Come! I demand that you service my flawless body!" Azula scoffed as she flipped her hair from her eyes while her smirk grew even larger when her admirer began to swoon before her.

"I-if you say so Azula-sama…" Elle stuttered with a hand on her cheek while she blushed when Azula began to pull her along as she stomped towards her seat.

"Azula! I thought you said that you were going to teach Elle how to swim?" Ty Lee reminded as she gazed up from her towel while Azula stepped over her with a scowl on her lips as Elle's eyes sparkled over the reminder.

"After she tends to my needs." The princess snorted with a hand on her hip while her childhood friends both cast her a pointed glance.

"All she does is tend to your needs." Mai stated in a monotone voice as she sat gazing at the scowling woman with annoyance in her tawny eyes.

"Can we go play in the water Azula-sama! Please!" The blonde-haired girl whined as she pulled her girlfriend's hand while the royal woman released a growl over her.

"Elle…" Azula growled as she turned to glare down at her girlfriend's pouting face while the smaller girl continued to tug on her arm.

All the while the acrobat giggled in the background as she and her two friends watched in amusement as the royal woman began to cave in to their young friend's request.

"Please! Please princess-" Elle exclaimed only for a hand to slap over her mouth while blue fire spewed from Azula's lips.

"Yes Elle! I'll take you to the water!" The princess shouted with her callous golden eyes narrowing down at her little handmaid's now exuberant face.

"Yay! I get to go swimming with Princess Azula!" The blonde-haired girl cheered with a fist pumping in the air while her master's eyes twitched in aggravation when people turned to gaze their way.

"Keep your voice down peasant! You'll ruin my reputation!" Azula hissed with her foot tapping on the ground she scowled when Elle continued to hop up and down in excitement.

"Yeah Azula. We wouldn't want people to start thinking that you are nice. That would be horrible." The brown-haired woman snickered with a hand over her mouth while her friend turned to glare down at her.

"I am not nice Ty Lee. I am a cruel but flawless woman." The princess snapped in an icy voice as she huffed while the acrobat just smiled up at her.

"I don't think that you're cruel princess. I for one find your leadership highly admirable." Nako spoke as she sat with a small mechanical box before her while Azula turned to fix her with a stern stare.

"Yes well. Of course, my leadership is without flaw. But even so Nako. Consider yourself fortunate that I like you. Otherwise I would punish you severely for daring to say that I am…kind." Azula remarked in a prideful voice while Mai rolled her eyes beyond her line of vison.

"Understood princess! I will not forget!" The royal pilot answered as she saluted the now smirking woman while the monarch gazed down at her with curious golden eyes.

"See to it that you don't…what is that?" The princess pondered as she rose an inquisitive brow while she gazed down at the mechanical box while her friends followed her gaze.

"Erm…just something that I am fiddling with. Nothing more." Nako replied in a return to her skittish voice while Azula tilted her head with an amused smile on her lips.

"You brought tools and supplies to the beach?" Azula questioned in a flat undertone while Nako blushed as she averted her eyes from her gaze.

"I-I'm not one for social interaction or public places. And it's something for me to do…" The royal pilot stammered in a nervous voice while her leader gazed down at her oddly.

"Just leave the girl be Azula. It's not as if any of us are normal anyhow." Mai stated in a deadpan voice as she sat leaning back on her towel while Ty Lee grinned in agreement.

"Mai has a point Azula! We're all pretty much oddballs here." Ty Lee agreed in a chipper voice as Nako perked up while she turned to smile back at her.

"I could care less how you entertain yourself Nako. Just stay loyal to me. And I will see that everything remains to your liking." The princess commented as she turned away to gaze down at her girlfriend's puppydog face as the teenager tugged on her arm.

"Yes, Your Highness." Nako answered in a faithful voice as she bowed her head in respect while Azula glanced at her in approval from the corner of her eye.

"Come on Azula-sama…let's go swim." Elle begged as she pulled on Azula's hand while the older female scowled down at her.

All while the two noblewomen watched with evident amusement in their eyes.

"Don't you dare give orders to me. I am the dominant one in this relationship and only I may decide our destination." Azula scoffed in a haughty voice as she glared down at her little admirer while she allowed Elle to pull her along.

"A-as you say Azula-sama. Always as you say." The blonde-haired girl sighed in a lovesick voice while she swooned with her head against the much taller woman's muscular belly.

"Humph. That's better." The princess huffed as she brushed her bangs from her eyes while she began to walk with her petite girlfriend tucked under her armpit.

"O-oh my beautiful princess charming." Elle gushed with a loveable blush on her cheeks as she hid under Azula's armpit while her master's strong arm wrapped around her neck.

"Come along my pet. I have decided to lend you my brilliance once more." Azula purred in a charming voice with her hand on her pet's small back while Elle bashfully burrowed under her armpit.

"A-Azula-sama…" The blonde-haired girl whined with her hands grasping at the older girl's taut midriff while she turned pink when her girlfriend's stern hand groped her back.

"You belong to me Elle. I own you." The princess declared in a spoiled voice as she strode away with her pretty handmaid under her arm while the petite girl hid in her body.

And her three friends watched them walk off while the acrobat still smiled after them.

"They sure make for a pink couple don't they Mai?" Ty Lee asked in a giggling voice while Mai turned to cast her an incredulous stare.

"I'm not even going to answer that." The markswoman snorted as she lounged in the sun while the acrobat still grinned back at her.

"Sure, they make for…an odd couple to say the least. But it really is adorable watching them interact." The brown-haired woman commented as she lay back on her towel while her fellow noblewoman just gazed at her dryly.

"I guess so." Mai muttered as she sat back gazing down at her fingernails in boredom while she tried to suppress her inner longing for Zuko to be here beside her.

But she knew well enough that she couldn't risk her family's safety to help Zuko again.

As much as it pained her. There wasn't any more that she could do for him. At least not for the time being.

All she could do was hope that he was smart enough to evade Azula and Zoe's capture.

Not even five minutes later…

The three women turned their heads when they heard a splash in the calm ocean water only for their eyes to nearly fall out of their heads as they gawked at the scene before them.

"You have sixty seconds to learn how to swim or I will destroy you!" Azula bellowed with her fists on her womanly hips while she glared down at Elle as the young girl splashed about in a comical panic.

Mai groaned in frustration as she stood up while Ty Lee already was making her way over.

And Nako for her part just glanced up from her activities while she sweatdropped over the absurdity of the scene.

"B-but I don't know what to do Azula-sama!" Elle cried out as she flapped in the water with her head sinking below while Azula scowled down at her.

"Azula! That isn't how you teach someone how to swim!" Ty Lee shouted as she made her way over with Mai in tow.

"I will not tolerate insufficient aerobics! Swim now! Or I will lightning bend the water as punishment for your defiance!" The princess roared with lightning crackling at her fingertips while the teenager flipped about in a panic.

"H-help me Azula-sama! I can't stay afloat!" The blonde-haired girl whined as she panted only to find Mai's strong arms quickly taking hold of her.

"You're a lunatic Azula! You can't just throw her in the water and expect her to swim!" Mai snapped as she stood in the warm water helping Elle up while the much smaller girl snuggled against her arm.

"Arigatou oneesan!" Elle exclaimed as she stood in Mai's arms while the older girl patted her back gently.

"Yeah! Seriously Azula! Threatening Elle with lightning bending isn't going to help her learn how to swim!" The brown-haired woman lectured as she frowned at the royal woman's scowling face while the teenager coughed up water.

"That's exactly how my father taught me!" Azula retorted with a huff while the two noblewomen stared at her in a deadpan silence.

"You're applying Ozai's teachings to Elle?" The markswoman asked in an annoyed voice while her leader scowled back at her.

"My father told me that if he saw even the slightest sign of weakness in me that he would cast me out just like Zuko and start over with a new heir. And like a true prodigy I took to swimming just as naturally as I did with firebending. It worked wonders for me and it will work just as well for this one if you two stay out of our way." The princess spoke in a proud voice as her golden eyes glared back at her two friends' speechless faces as they stood in the splashing waves.

Both noblewomen exchanged a stunned glance while their young friend listened in a sympathetic silence.

It was just another poignant reminder to both Mai and Ty Lee of Ozai's cruelty.

After a moment they finally recovered with the acrobat being the first to speak.

"Azula…I know that you mean well. But perhaps we should apply a softer touch with Elle?" Ty Lee suggested in a patient voice as she placed a hand on her adopted sister's shoulder while Azula scowled with her arms crossed over her breasts.

"That's an understatement. Your father's teaching methods have no place in Elle's life now or at any point." Mai commented in a stern voice as the smaller girl blushed under all of the attention while Azula turned to glare her way.

If Mai had dared to speak those words prior to her discovery that her father was plotting behind her back she would have punished her without question.

But now…

Her lips could only purse into an even deeper scowl as she turned to glare off into the swishing waves.

Before turning back to gaze down at her handmaid's grudgingly adorable face.

"Then how else do you expect the girl to learn how to swim Ty Lee?" Azula inquired in a snobbish voice with a hand waving in the air while Ty Lee's smile began to return in full force.

"With patience and a tender hand! That's how!" The brown-haired woman chirped with a wide grin while the royal woman rolled her eyes.

"In other words, you are going to coddle her." The princess snorted as she sighed under her breath while the weapons expert began to assist her girlfriend.

"Just relax in the water Elle." The markswoman instructed in a caring voice while the younger girl relaxed against her body.

"Sumimasen…if I am a bother." The blonde-haired girl mumbled in a shy voice as she stood in the gentle waves while the noblewoman patted her back.

"You're not a bother kid." Mai assured with a small smile on her lips while she braced Elle's body as the younger girl attempted to swim.

"You're too cute to be a bother!" Ty Lee cooed as she giggled while Azula rolled her regal eyes once more as Elle flushed as she awkwardly stood in the warm waters.

"Please! You are nothing more than a pain in our ass. You should consider yourself fortunate that we even put up with your weakness!" Azula remarked in a conceited voice as she glared down at Elle's happy face while her childhood friends groaned in aggravation.

"There is only one insufferable person present. And it isn't Elle." The markswoman taunted as she cast her spoiled leader a small smirk while the other woman still glared back at her.

"I am going to pretend that I didn't hear that. You should all consider yourselves privileged to even breath the same air as me." The princess complained in a callous voice while both noblewomen sighed heavily.

"Alright. Now I am going to let you go so you can try to float." Mai spoke in a sisterly voice as she bent over to ease Elle into the water while her little sister adorably chewed on her lip.

"But how will I float?" Elle pondered in a confused voice as she bit her lip while the three highborn women all gazed down at her fondly.

"Just breath deeply and keep your mind calm. It's alright if you don't get it on your first try. We'll be here to catch you if you sink." The markswoman explained in a patient voice while she released the teenager's shoulders.

The three highborn women stood around their young friend while the young girl took a deep breath and sunk back upon the ocean's waters.

Only to squeak in surprise when she sunk through not a moment later.

Azula sighed as she stood with her fists on her hips while Mai quickly pulled Elle back up in her arms.

"I suck at this." The blonde-haired girl mumbled in a self-conscious voice while her big sister held her up by her shoulders.

"Keep trying little sister. You'll get the hang of it eventually." Mai encouraged in a supportive voice as Elle peered up at her with a bashful countenance.

And then not a moment later…

Splash!

Elle sulked as Mai caught her once more while Azula supervised with stern golden eyes.

"This isn't something that will happen overnight Azula. It might take Elle a few months to learn how to swim. But she'll learn in time." The brown-haired woman assured as she turned to gaze at the royal woman's stoic face while her leader just shrugged her shoulders.

"Maybe under Mai's tutelage. I can teach the tiger monkey to swim in two weeks tops." Azula boasted with her arms folded over her breasts while she scowled when Elle plunged through the water for a third time.

Yet even so…

Elle laughed as she stood with her hair sticking to her back while Mai also cracked a smile over her.

And Ty Lee giggled while Azula pridefully scowled when the younger girl turned to face her.

"This is so fun Azula-sama! You should come play in the water with us!" Elle cried out as she beamed back at Azula's callous face while her girlfriend pursed her lips into a moody scowl.

"Foolish peasant! I have no time for such childish games…you will suffer for this insolence Elle!" The princess bellowed after water was splashed in her face while both of her childhood friends snickered at her.

"Nice shot little sister!" Ty Lee yelled out as she floated in the water beside the laughing teenager.

"Come on Azula-sama! Play with-eep!" The blonde-haired girl yelped when a large amount of water was thrown in her face.

"You are going to regret challenging me peasant!" Azula shouted as she threw water at Elle's squeaking face only for Ty Lee to kick water at her.

Water splashed in her eyes once more while she turned to scowl at Ty Lee's grinning face.

"Sorry Azula! But I have to stick up for my baby sister." The brown-haired woman exclaimed from beside the brightly smiling teenager.

"Then you too will be destroyed!" The princess declared with a finger pointing at the other woman's joyous face.

"I may as well join in…" The markswoman trailed off before she threw water at her leader with a smirk growing on her lips while the royal woman growled back at her.

And just like that…

Team Azula was soon splashing water at one another while their youngest member laughed heartily between all three of them.

And on the shore Nako watched with bewildered golden eyes as she marveled over their antics.

"Elle is such a strange girl. She really has a way with people…" The royal pilot commented before she turned her attention back to her project while she started fiddling with the wires inside.

With any luck…

This might prove useful.

About a half hour later…

The waves crashed against the shore while Elle now leaned back in Azula's strong arms with a serene countenance.

All the while Azula scowled down at her as she greedily held the smaller girl into her breasts while the two noblewomen floated alongside them.

"Arigatou gozaimasu minasan…for taking me here." Elle spoke in a contented voice as she leaned back in Azula's arms while her three friends gazed at her fondly.

"Aww! It was our pleasure little sister!" Ty Lee cooed as she grinned warmly down at Elle while the younger girl blushed adorably in Azula's arms.

"Yeah Elle. It was." Mai stated with a margin of fondness in her stoic voice while Elle turned even redder under their combined attentions.

"Just do as I say peasant. Don't forget who you serve." Azula commanded in a strict voice with her arms wrapping around Elle's small body while her handmaid sunk back into her bosom.

"I serve you Azula-sama. I am your loyal servant forevermore." The blonde-haired girl declared with her face against the much taller woman's soft chest while her possessive master held onto the back of her head.

"Humph. That's my peasant." The princess grumbled in a prideful voice as she cradled her petite girlfriend into her breasts while the acrobat smiled warmly at the scene.

"Aww. She's such a sweetie Azula." The brown-haired woman gushed in a compassionate voice while the royal woman just turned away to glare down at the smaller girl in her arms.

"I will always serve Team Azula…because Team Azula is my home." Elle announced in a lovable voice as she rested against Azula's bosom while all three highborn women turned to her with a moved emotion in their eyes.

"We are! Aren't we Azula?" Ty Lee asked in a gentle voice as she turned to Azula while her friend released a pompous scoff.

"I should think that would have been obvious by now." Azula snorted with haughty roll of her eyes while she greedily held onto Elle's much smaller frame.

"That's right kiddo. We're your home." Mai assured in a tender voice with a softened smile on her lips while Elle radiantly from her position in Azula's arms.

All the while Elle gazed up into the sunny skies with a simply infectious smile on her lips.

A smile so bright that it somehow managed to work its way into the cold heart of even Azula herself.

"My family…my home." The blonde-haired girl spoke in an overjoyed voice as she sunk back in her girlfriend's arms while her protector breathed against her shivering ear.

"I will permit you nowhere else servant. After all, where would we be without you to wait on us hand and foot?" The princess scoffed in a controlling voice with her muscular arms holding her little handmaid against her breasts while her serving girl nuzzled in between her breasts.

"Azula…" The brown-haired woman scolded lightly yet she found herself smiling all the same.

And she couldn't deny that it was oddly adorable how Elle insisted on remaining as their servant.

The girl was as loyal as they come.

"O-oh Azula-sama…I wouldn't want to be anywhere else." Elle stuttered as she sought haven in Azula's breasts while she felt a powerful hand shove her face into her girlfriend's damp breasts.

"We will always be your home. And you will always serve us. This is where you belong." Azula growled in a domineering voice as she floated in the water with her pet curling up in her lap.

"Yes…Azula-sama. Forever as you command." The blonde-haired girl mumbled as she nuzzled into her master's plush chest while the strong hand in her hair began to pet the back of her head.

"Good girl. We wouldn't have any other handmaid. There is no other more suitable to serve us." The princess muttered in a strict voice with her palm in her needy handmaid's hair while the smaller girl hid face first in her bra.

And despite their leader's controlling words.

The two noblewomen found that they couldn't help but smile fondly at their young friend in agreement.

"Yeah! No other handmaid will do. She's the only one cute enough to snuggle with us!" Ty Lee exclaimed in a coo as she reached out to pin Elle's cheek only for Azula's hand to slap hers away.

"This is my pet! Get your own Ty Lee! I've already claimed this peasant!" Azula barked in a spoiled voice as she scowled with Elle in her breasts while Ty Lee sulked as she playfully scowled back at her.

"Snuggle hog!" The brown-haired woman grumbled as she folded her arms over her breasts while the royal woman rolled her golden eyes back at her.

"You're our favorite servant Elle. And you always will be." The markswoman stated with a small smile on her lips while she ignored her friends ridiculous quarrel.

The small girl smiled shyly in her girlfriend's arms while she peeked out at her two big sisters' before she retreated back into her master's bosom.

"Team Azula is where I belong." Elle spoke in a contented voice as she lay in Azula's warm breasts while she savored how her master greedily held onto her.

"And don't you forget it peasant." The princess snorted with an arm around her little girlfriend's shoulder while she effortlessly held her handmaid in her arms.

And then her toned arms pulled the smaller girl in even further while her full lips remained pursed into a possessive scowl.

There is no other more worthy of being her submissive than this one.

No one but this one.

She is the only one who will do for her.

And the only one worthy of serving her.

And the only one that she will have.

Her girl.

AN:

I hope everyone enjoyed the chapter. I don't have a whole lot to say this time around. I just want to state that I really enjoyed writing the kuai ball scene.

Azula picking Elle as her public partner serves as a major turning point in their relationship. Out of all of her friends to pick, Elle was the worst pick if she was seeking someone good at sports.

Ty Lee probably could have played better than Elle even with a foot injury, and Nako would have done better as well.

But Azula now regards Elle as her partner in all things, and she has now become so fond of Elle that she will pick her by default even if it would serve her better to choose someone else.

Anyhow, that's all for today.

Stay tuned for next time.

For chapter sixty-four! Sun, Sand and Punishment!
