Thank you for reviewing my story everyone it meant a lot (it's my first time writing) can't wait to hear more from you and others! (I also think Zuko looked cute before he got his scar -)

Chapter 2: Welcome to my life.

Ayaka is just your regular girl, except for one thing-she just…happens to be a princess. Now, when you hear the word 'princess' you think of spoiled little brats who don't do anything but whine and cry all day and give people orders right? Well guess again 'cause honey, Ayaka ain't like that at all. She does all the things a princess is not supposed to do. She does Archery, practices her Fire bending with her older brother Ryu, (and wins) and does all the stuff a Prince should do. Now, occasionally, she does do the stuff a princess would do, but she hates it. She hates it like a cat hates water. She thinks it's incredibly boring and totally not for her.

But today, as she was sailing back home (she lives on an island off the shore close to the Fire Nation) she felt like doing the things a Princess would normally do. For some strange reason, she felt incredibly happy, like a little girl who lost her doll and found it again. She kept having a picture of Zuko in her mind and kept thinking about how different he looked since she last saw him. She figured that he might be 15 or so. Her face turned into a scowl, oh WHY the hell does my family hate Zuko's so much? They haven't done anything wrong! I'm not even sure if my BROTHER knows why they hate each other! She thought. From the bow, she walked over to the stern of the ship and looked out on the open sea. There, she started to daydream until one of her crewmembers took her out of it.

"Lady Ayaka." he said. She quickly snapped back into reality. "Yes, Senswei, what is it?" she said, annoyed that he cut her off from her daydream. Senwei noticed her tone and said apologetically, " I am sorry to have cut you off from your daydream, but we will be reaching shore soon." Ayaka nodded her head. "O.k. thank you Senwei." She said. Senswei bowed and left. Oh boy, going back home to my brother is gonna be SHIT LOADES OF FUN! She thought. Her bother Ryu was 18 and old enough to inherit the throne. Ayaka was next in line to inherit but she'd have to wait four more years, she was only fourteen. Ryu is bigger, stronger, and more athletic than she is (or so he says.) They are both equally athletic but she is more agile. (Thus explaining WHY she beats him in EVERY Agnikai training session they have.)

"LAND HO!" shouted another one of her crewmembers from somewhere on the ship. Ayaka sighed. "Well, time to go and face my brother…and mother…and father." She said to herself. As soon as she walked through the steel doors, she was bombarded by a whole bunch of questions. "Where were you young lady!" asked her mother Queen Naoki. "Yeah, Ayaka, where have you been?" asked Ryu. He looked exactly like her but with shorter hair and brown eyes. "How DARE you run away from us!" In her mind Ayaka was rolling her eyes. I didn't run away people; I decided to go for some air…without telling you. She thought. "SIIIIILEEEENCE!" shouted her father, King Kokuyo, ruler of the Shimon Fire Island. Everyone went quite 'cause when the King is mad, HE'S MAD! Ayaka gulped. The King looked at his daughter angrily.

"Now my daughter, tell me, WHY DID YOU RUN AWAY FROM US!" he yelled. Ayaka jumped. "Father," she began, "I did not run away, I just merely wanted some fresh air to clear my mind of…of…shit! Come on Ayaka, think of a lie! She thought. "Of stress is all. So I went to…uhhh, think, think, think! DO NOT TELL THEM YOU WENT TO THE FIRE NATION, THEY'RE GONNA KILL YOU! She thought. "So I went to the other island next to us…300 miles…away. Damn you idiot! You can't even think of a good lie! She thought. Her father looked at her skeptically. "Are you lying to me?" he asked. Ayaka bowed. "No, Father on penalty of death, I am not lying to you." She said. She smirked 'penalty of death' was a pretty risky thing to say and she knew that her father hated her saying that so she knew she could get away with her lie. "Very well child, you may go." Said the King. "Thank you Father." Said Ayaka and went to her room.

As soon as she was in her room, Ayaka started playing the same song she played on the beach. She didn't forget that she had to go back to the Fire Nation tomorrow and play it for Zuko. There was a knock at her door and Ryu came in. "What do you want cretin?" she asked. "Ohh that's harsh." He said. She looked at him and smiled sarcastically and said in a "sweet" voice, "I'm sorry Ryu." Then in her normal voice, she said, "What the hell do you want?" Ryu smirked. "You better be a lot nicer to me Ayaka, I know where you really went today." Ayaka looked at him blankly. "I don't know what your talking about." She said innocently. "Oh, I'm thinkin' you do." He said coolly as he went and sat on her bed. "You see, I know that you went to," Ayaka held her breath Please don't say it. Please don't say it. She thought. Ryu smiled broadly for he knew she was nervous. "The Fire Nation." He said. "I'll do whatever you ask, just don't tell dad." Said Ayaka. Ryu grinned evilly. Damn, I know that grin. Thought Ayaka.
