"Azula we need to talk with you." Ursa and Ozai addressed their daughter.
"You have entered into such age where we need to talk about your future." Ozai continued to talk.
"We have talked together and decided that you need to get married." Ursa explained why they summoned their daughter to their room.
"Yeah, just like the saying goes, she, who get up early, or the young married don't not regret it!" Ozai tried to sound smart.
"We have arranged for Chan and his family to visit us on Sunday. He will come to propose to you and then we will go to townhall to register your civil marriage. I have talked with my friend and he reserved a time for us." Ozai continued to explain future plans for their daughter.
"There is another saying: A bear is still a bear no matter how pretty dressed. I am not going to live with that animal!" Azula stated her mind.
"Everything is already settled. Chan is from influential military family. This marriage will be great boon to our family!" Ursa tried to reason with Azula.
"I have a boyfriend and I am not going to marry anyone, but my boyfriend!" Azula tried to lied her way out of it.
"Yeah, yeah, we all already know about your imaginary boyfriend, but you need grew up and find a real man!" Ursa laughed at Azula's lie.
"Azula, understand that we do this for you. You have no experience in this matter and we don't want for some fool to use you for his own pleasure and then leave you with a bastard when he leaves you." Ursa continued her tale.
"Do you talk from experience, mom?" Azula smirked at Ursa knowing her mother's whoring ways.
"Show more respect for me! I am your mother!" Ursa looked angry at her daughter.
"It is decided! You are going to marry Chan and that's final!" Ozai stated the fact. "There is no way out of it!"
"No, I am not!" Azula stated her mind and left the room. She may be mad inside, but she will not show it upfront. After all the best decisions are made with clear and calm mind. Zuko's running around naked with bunch of people screaming death threats was good show of what happens when you don't think things through.
"She received news quite well." Ozai looked at Ursa after Azula left the room.
"Are you sure? Azula was always strong willed and did as she said." Ursa sounded worried.
"Sure. She will submit… or we will drag there… everything is settled. The clerk doesn't even ask any question. She just needs to be there and sign it." Ozai looked proud of this deed. Maybe after he married Azula with Chan, he could stop those recuring nightmares about bunnies with bra from happening.

Azula took her car and left her home. She needed to clear her mind and think of ways to get out of this ordeal.
"What is the fastest way to get rid of future husband? Murder! For that i needs something to do the dirty deed." Azula's mind started to scheme. "I don't have anything useful to quickly dispatch of him. I also need to think about Chan being enrolled into military academy. So simple brutal force or sneak attack wouldn't work on him and he may even use it against me. I will also need to get rid of body if I am successful. That will be another trouble because I don't know where Chan currently is and will only see him on Sunday. Then it will be too many witnesses if i attempt to do it.
Ok, any other way to get rid of Chan?" Azula rattled her mind.
"Poison! I could use some stuff mom has in her room and cook something, but how will I deliver it? I don't have anything potent to get rid of that fool quickly and without notice. It will take a lot of time and that means Chan will have lots of time to do with me as he pleases. This idea is also unacceptable."
Azula stopped at nearby cafe to get something to eat.
"How about I switch one fool with another a better fool? But who?" Azula sipped her coffee when her recent accident come to mind.
"Sokka! He is from decent family and would make a decent safety net. Now how could I manipulate him into this scheme?" An idea popped in Azula's mind. "His family already think that we are a thing. I could build upon that! Yes, yes, let's do this."
Azula ate a cupcake and got another cup of coffee while thinking of the best way to manipulate people and things to get what she wants. It took some time for her to remember the way back to cabin because she didn't know where Sokka was currently staying. By the time she reached the place it was already dark and it helped her to blend in with the shadow so that no one could notice her. She had enough time to check her surroundings and confirm that Sokka's family was still staying in cabin and that Sokka was away in local town to have some fun was expected to return late. Azula couldn't start to execute her plan before Sokka returned back home and that mean she had more time to examine and find the best way inside cabin without alerting its residents.
Sokka returned back home already late at night when its residents where already sleeping. He entered cabin, but in his attempt to remain silent he forgot to lock the doors. Azula waited a little bit longer for Sokka to turn off the lights and go to sleep. She silently sneaked inside the cabin and went to look for Sokka's room. She made sure Sokka was asleep by poking him with her leg and after she received no response, she decided to proceed with plan a which meant that she needs to strip down naked and get inside his bed. Azula made sure she put her clothes in such way that it looked like they were tossed away in the heat of passion. She hesitated a little bit when she needed to remove her bra and panties, but decided to continue with the plan. It would be easier to explain things if she was completely naked, that instead in her underwear. Then she lifted bedsheet and had to deal with another dilemma. Should she get rid of Sokka's underwear? After a little bit more o thinking Azula decided to liberate Sokka out of it. It was quite dark so to her luck, she was having trouble seeing Sokka's thing after he was lying naked and unaware of what happened to him. Azula get inside the bed with him and put back bedsheet to cover their bodies. What she didn't expected was that Sokka's arm moved on it on and hugged Azula's body pushing it closer toward him. She considered about removing it, but decided against it. It would suit her plan if Sokka's parent found them in warm embrace. Now she needed to wait for the morning to come, but she fell asleep.
o0o0o0o
The morning has come and Katara woke up first and went to make breakfast for the family. After she was done with it, she went to wake up everyone.
"SOKKA WAAAAA…" Katara lost her voice when she saw the mess that was in Sokka's room and there were three legs sticking out of bedsheet.
"MOM!" Katara screamed after she recovered.
"Oh, stop screaming Zuzu." Azula mumbled still half asleep, then the bedsheet that was covering her body was removed and exposed her for everyone to see what nature gifted her. Sokka's arms were still around her belly and hugging her tight.
"Let's not interrupt our love birds." Kya's voice sounded nearby and led shocked Katara out of Sokka's room after shooting one final glance at naked girl lying with her son.
o0o0o0o
Sokka woke up and found something warm lying nearby. He was still in the dreamland and had trouble to understand his surrounding, his eyes still sleepy and refusing to open, so he used his hands to check his surroundings. They roamed the warm body exploring it while the smile crept up his face and he looked happy to the outsider watching them. Then he finally managed to open his eyes and saw his mother standing nearby with creepy smile on her face. That instantly raised red flags inside his mind and Sokka's eye wandered where his hands were squeezing something strange, and was met with unexpected view of girl's naked back.
"Five more minutes…" Azula mumbled still half asleep, but then all sleep vanished and she found herself in curious presence of Kya. She suddenly became aware of being naked and looked for something to cover up.
"Looks like you have wild night. Make yourself presentable and come to kitchen to get some breakfast." Kya told to Sokka and Azula before leaving the room.
"What just happened?" Sokka asked Azula because he was clueless of what just happened.
"It looks like we had a wild night and then we got caught by your mom." Azula proceeded with her plan after she recovered. "And I don't know how long she was sitting in this room while watching us naked and asleep in each other's embrace."
"That will be hard to explain." Those were the only words Sokka's brain managed to conjure up at the moment before the reality hit him and he looked at naked Azula that was using a bedsheet cover up.
"WHAT!" He screamed, jumped out of bed and become aware that he was completely naked, so he covered his thing with his hands.
"Don't worry. I already saw it, same as you saw me." Azula stated calmly and then moved outside of bed to collect her things and dress up.
"I expect you will act like a real man, Sokka." Azula added after several seconds. She was completely embarrassed by boy seeing her naked for the first time, but to succeed in her plan she was prepared for anything she needed. So, she casually dressed up in same room with Sokka and ignored that he had perfect view of everything she had.
o0o0o0o
"So, you had a lot of fun last night." Katara looked at Sokka and Azula sitting near table and trying to eat their breakfast while three pair of eyes were trying to pierce them.
"Sokkka…" Hakoda snarled at his son.
"I don't know how Azula ended up in my bed." Sokka's mind was still drawing blank.
"If I remember correctly… we meet up… drunk… and then you asked if I wanted to do an activity together. I can't remember anything else." Azula continued with the plan.
"Yeah right!" Katara snarled at Sokka and Azula.
"We weren't in sane mind when we decided to do it, but now…" Azula took a deep breath. "I hope you are proper boy and act like a proper boy should do when such things happen. I wouldn't want to see you in Zuzu's place with both of my parents running after you and trying to kill you. I saw this scene playout a lot and know it ends."
The rest of morning was spent silently eating with one speaking a word. After it was done and all the dishes were washed. Kya invited Azula to take a walk and from the look she was giving Azula understood that she either go on her own or she will be dragged against her will. Kya was radiating so strong killing intent that Azula shuddered inside.
"Now tell me the real story." Kya commanded Azula after they were some distance away from cabin.
"What the real story? We spent the night together." Azula defended herself.
"I know about your mother's and brothers whoring ways. So, it wouldn't surprise me if you are the same." Kya stated her facts. "Why did you do it? What do you expect to accomplish?"
"Nothing. But when my family hear about it, Sokka will get into Zuzu's place and i saw that spectacle quite a lot to know how it ends." Azula remained calm and collected.
"You are right about some part, but at same time you are wrong. It wouldn't be Sokka running, but you." Kya offered her own version that sounded like a threat. "One doesn't simply seduce boy and then ask for him take responsibility and marry her, so sudden!"
"What do you want me to tell?" Azula understood that Kya saw through her lies and decided to change tactic.
"You can start with the truth. You want to get something out of it and I don't think that angering your parents was your primary goal. Just what that deranged family of yours is forcing you to do that you would get into my son's bed?" Kya crossed her arms around her chest.
"I just want to get out of it." Azula decided to tell the truth.
"I understood that from the start, but you still haven't told me why." Kya put her hand on Azula's shoulder.
"My parents force me to marry some fool I don't like and from one dysfunctional family to move to other. I want to choose my own fool to marry and your family are quite decent compared to my own." Azula lowered her eyes and looked to the ground.
"Oh, you poor thing. You should have told that from the start instead of trying to scheme your way in! How much time do you have?" Kya come and hugged Azula.
"If I return back home, I will be locked in my room and tomorrow forced to marry." Azula explained her situation.
"Don't worry about it. I will help you. Let's get back to cabin." Kya took Azula's hand and led her back to their staying place.
o0o0o0o
"Sokka, my dear son, you need to act like a man and do what's right to do." Kya was talking with Sokka who was still shocked from the things that happened today. He never expected that his day will be so big clusterfuck. All his plans were tossed away through the window.
"Here is how everything will happen. You will go to Azula, knee and ask her to be your wife. Everything is so simple. You just don't need to worry about anything." Kya took Sokka's hand and put a ring to his open palm.
"Go! The future awaits you." Kya pushed still shocked Sokka toward Azula who was standing in the hall and fidgeting nervously no matter how hard she tried to control her emotions she couldn't and it spilled outside of her and was show on her face and body movements.
"I …. E…" Sokka looked at Azula and then back to the rest of his family who all had different face expressions. Kya looked happy, Hakoda was flustered, and Katara was still all kinds of red from the sight she saw this morning.
"Azula…" Sokka shuttered and tried to find his voice. His trembling hands were holding a ring that Kya gave him just a few minutes earlier. "Will you… will you become my wife?"
"Yes." Azula answered and silence once again descended on everyone.
"Ring. Put a ring on her hand." Kya told to Sokka after she saw that nothing happened for entire minute and everyone were standing like statues. Sokka's trembling hands took Azula's hand and put the ring on it. He stood up and then Azula hugged him.
"Hurray!" Kya broke the silence and started to clap. "Let's go and celebrate your engagement!"

Ursa and Ozai were having good day. That meant they weren't bickering with each other and instead they were going through the plans for tomorrow event when Azula returned back home. Both Ozai and Ursa were confused why she came with other familiar people. Kya, Hakoda, and their son Sokka were standing in same room with Sokka holding Azula's hand.
"Mom, dad, I would like to introduce you to my boyfriend and fiance. He proposed to me this morning." Azula smirked at her mother and enjoyed seen their jaws to hit the floor.
"Hello Ozai, nice to meet you." Kya addressed this house owner.
"Whaaaaat?" This was the only sound Ozai's feeble mind could conjure at the moment.
"You look like you have seen a ghost!" Kya snickered.
"How did this happen?" Ursa lamented.
"I don't know when this all happened. I mean when they first met. But we knew for some time that they maybe be doing an activity" –Kya raised two fingers in the air to imitate quotes. – "after all we all know about your reputation, so we were lax about their actions since they were careful to not get caught. Yesterday they meet up again and spent the night together and in the morning after almost giving our daughter heart attack when she found them, Sokka proposed to Azula in front of us and she said yes."
"No, no, no! I wouldn't allow it!" Ozai growled after recovering some bits of his sanity.
"I think you are still shocked and don't think things sane." Hakoda put his hand on Ozai's shoulder and led him away. "Let's go and have some beer. I was shocked by it too."
"No! Azula will marry someone I choose for her." Ozai growled while removing Hakoda's hand.
"We live in modern and not the medieval times. If you try to control and force your children to do what they don't want to do at all time, you will lose them. "Kya addressed Ozai. "I don't think it would be wise to start a scandal now when you once again try to get elected to city's council." Spoke it like it was some trivial thing and made Ozai to shut up.
