Ziggy: If Morgan owned Avatar, Zuko would be thrown in the seme pit.
P.S: I'm not changing Azula's name in the first chapter. Too bad, so sad.

Zuko had often tried to rule the palace. He stole random undergarments of Azula's and hung them up in the market. He sent letters containing naughty ideas to her crushes.

But he was clearly outnumbered and outmatched. Not to mention screwed beyond all belief.

"ZUZU!"

He turned a corner and fled into his Uncle's room. Thinking quickly, he dove into the closet. Despite the old man smell, it was safe. Safe...

"Predictable hiding place, big brother!"

There was a scream of upmost terror. Azula, Tai Li, and Mei tackled Zuko to the ground. The 10 year-olds giggled. "LET'S PLAY AGAIN!" Tai Li cried, spinning and jumping around. Mei simply nodded while Azula smirked. Their parents had gone on "Important Fire Nation Business" (A.k.a: A trip to the spa) and had left the poor 11 year-old to watch his little sister and her friends.

He KNEW his Uncle was somewhere, but he always seemed the disappear whenever Mei came over... 'Coward!' Zuko realized how stupid that sounded; Calling someone a coward while you're running for your life...

"Quick, in here!"

He paused and turned. "Who's there?" he asked sharply. His Uncle's head popped out from behind a statue of some ancestor. "... How the heck did you fit back there?"

"Just get in!" He darted behind the statue just as the three girls ran by. Mei paused for a second near the statue sending a chill up Zuko's spine. "Azula, your ancestors are ugly." Zuko breathed a sigh of relief as she turned and walked away.

"Good, they're gone." Iroh turned and tapped on the wall. Suddenly, to Zuko's complete surprise, the wall opened up and revealed a small passageway. One not too small, but still small enough that Zuko had to bend when he stood up.

"I built this passageway in my youth with your father. We would use to sneak out of the castle after bedtime and visit your mother. It's been closed for years, but I use it now to hide from Mei." Zuko laughed slightly. He knew his Uncle was deathly afraid of Mei.

"The girls leave at sundown when Mother and Father come back. What do we do till then?" he asked. The older man grinned and revealed a pot of tea and a Pai Sho game board. "I always come prepared."

And the two played and drank all day. The girls searched for them, but gave up eventually and played with dolls all day (Actually, they chopped the heads off the dolls with a little guillotine)

And at the end of the day, sure Iroh and Zuko were cowards, running away from little girls like little pansy boys. But they were cowards TOGETHER! -Collective Aw-
