... Phil?

November, 87 AG

Another day of school, another day of learning, and another average day for everyone going to Sozin Academy. Well, it was for almost everybody.

"I still can't believe Dad actually banned me from trying to make that White flame again, Zuko... Dad never bans me from anything!" Aizen was telling his big brother. It was a weird experience, getting told off by dad. But at least he was nice about it.

"If it really knocked you unconscious for two whole DAYS, then why do you want to try that again?" Zuko asked. He had been worried as well, but mom and dad hadn't let him see Aizen while he was out. The worst thing about it was Aizen just happily got up afterward, not even caring in the slightest!

"Cause when I do master it, think of the possibilities, Zuko! I can be one of the most epic people in the Fire Nation! And nobody would argue about my right for cake!" That wasn't the real reason, of course, but Aizen was playful like that. His brother's face when he said that was also priceless. He laughed, causing Zuko to blush a bit.

"Your unbelievable..." Zuko muttered, looking embarrassed.

"You make it too easy, big br-" He pauses. "Two boys are coming to us, Zuko." He points forward. The guards walking them to school go on alert.

Zuko follows his brother's finger toward two boys his age. He smiles. "Aizen, I had mentioned these two at dinner before. They're my friends I made at school."

Aizen's face brightened at that. Hearing this, the Guards silently relaxed their stances slightly. "So these are your buds, huh Zuko?"

Zuko nodded before waving his friends over. "Aizen, these are my friends Ichigo and Gohan."

The two walk up to Aizen. The taller and skinnier one was Ichigo while the slightly shorter but wider one was Gohan. They both also had surprisingly spiky hair as well. Gohan did a tiny bow to Aizen while Ichigo held his hand out to the prince.

"Great to meet you, Prince Aizen. We were told some things about you by your brother-" Ichigo started, but Aizen interrupted by grabbing and shaking his hand excitedly.

"Sup there dudes! You have surprisingly spiky hair. That's pretty cool." Aizen then reached up to the taller boys head and rubbed it just like how his mother did for him and Zuko. "So where's my cake?"

"Oh Agni not again..." Zuko knew his brother liked to play around with strangers, but these were his new friends! He didn't want to lose them because Aizen wanted to do some pranks. But while Gohan raised his head in disbelief to look at the Prince, Ichigo looked at him shook his head.

"Your really like what Zuko described you as. I thought he was telling some extra stuff about you that wasn't true." Ichigo scrunched his nose.

"The big word you could have used was 'exaggerating' instead of saying extra stuff like a child you know." Aizen completely ignored that he was a child himself.

Gohan tried to stop it, but he laughed a bit too Ichigo's irritation.

"Definitely not like Zuko at all." Gohan spoke after getting the laugh through his system.

"Prince Aizen, one of a kind, at your service." Aizen did a courtesy bow that his father taught him to use only for high ranking nobles and officials. But they probably didn't know it was that kind of specific bow, so what the heck, why not do it?

Zuko went to his two friends sides before speaking, "Ichigo, Gohan... here he is." He finished flatly. He was gonna do the introductions slowly, but Aizen usually didn't do things slowly unless it was with cake.

"We noticed." Ichigo sighed, Aizen looking up to him with a smirk.

"Oh, your acting a bit like Mai. I can work with that." He grabbed Ichigo's hand and pulled him along with a noise of protest coming from Ichigo's mouth.

"Wait a second-!" Aizen dutifully ignored him.

Gohan had another laugh at Ichigo's expense. "Well Zuko, your brother sure knows how to make a first impression."

"I know that much..." Couldn't his normal brother be more normal?

"We better follow them... I don't want to see Ichigo go too crazy and all." Gohan said, smiling as he walked to the approaching school with Zuko by his side.

Later that day, Lunch break

"And these are the Go bros, Mai. They're my older brother's friends... oh yeah, here's Zuko by the way."

Mai looked at the three older boys Aizen brought that ruined her mood instantly. The golden eyes gave away the other prince away while she didn't pay to much attention to the two new guys. Not that 'Go Bros' was a real name to call them anyway.

"Aizen, it's not 'Go Bros'..." Zuko sighs before turning to Mai. "These are Ichigo and Gohan." He points to them both separately. Mai pretends to care.

"Well, that's why they're the Go bros! It's an epic nickname for them! They both have 'go' in their names and stuff. It was either that or calling the tw'IchiGohan'."

Ichigo groans at both nicknames. "We're not brothers, just friends!"

Aizen tilted his head. "But you both have 'go' in your name. And you both got spiky hair."

Ichigo's face twitched.

"Aizen, don't bring random kids near me just to annoy them with me in close proximity." Mai's calm voice made Zuko and Gohan look to her.

"Pro-oc-six-uh-mah-ty?" Gohan looked at the younger girl.

"She's means distance. But you might learn it eventually." Aizen happily said.

Ichigo huffs at this. "Why do you know these big words then, nerd?" When in doubt, go to child bully tactics. Works out well.

"Cause me and Mai are a thing called prodigies. That means we are really really smart. And it also means we're epic." Aizen wags a finger. "But, as Zuko's friends, I'll introduce you to greatness. Eventually." He closes his eyes and smirks proudly.

A smirk which turns into a wince and yelp as Mai throws one of her chopsticks into his forehead.

"Why are you getting so good with that!?" Aizen complains as he rubs his head. Gohan laughs at this while Ichigo gets a small smirk at seeing Aizen hurt.

"Because with you around, I get good practice." she says. She holds the other chopstick up for good measure. "So I can eventually pop your swollen ego when it gets too big."

Zuko looks at Mai again closely. Aizen had said at dinner that Mai had acted mainly emotionless to him on their first meeting, but she was clearly showing annoyance here really well. He guessed that was his brother's doing. But the way she acted to them? She was kinda weird.

Mai noticed the older prince staring at her and mentally scoffed. Aizen said he was nice and all, but with the laughing kid and the scoffing kid as friends, along with some of the more embarrassing stuff Aizen told her about him, she wasn't impressed.

Aizen still rubbed his head as he saw Mai and Zuko studying each other. They were both cool to him, so they obviously like each other... eventually. He mentally wrote down 'get more cake' to help speed the process along.

And that was the first full meeting between The Royal bros, the Go (not) Bros, and Mai. Definitely not even close to ever being the last.

I like the next chapter I've only drafted out better then I like this one I just did. Anybody ever write a chapter they didn't like but needed it anyway for the plot? Leave an answer if you want to. I appriciate them

Introducing the Go Bros, Ichigo and Gohan, Zuko's friends in this world! Welcome them with open arms... or hate them. Either or. But Zuko will not be dealing with a horrible father without any outside support in this world, that's for sure.

Also showing Aizen turning less innocent and more prank happy in an annoying yet charming way, along with Mai getting a better grasp on her emotional stability. Woop. The changes are adding up, huh?
