Fire Nation circus grounds
This place is like a prison I can't do anything I want that I'm not told to do. I don't get to sleep until midnight and wake up call is at six. No not six at night, six in the morning. My only friend is Ty lee. I can't remember anything before I was at the Circus. They told me my family died when I was young and I have no one but them. I don't stay because I believe them; I stay because of the dread that they are right. I haven't seen any missing posters with me on them. They are looking for a princess though, Princess Katara. She would be about 16 now, like me, but she is from the water tribe.
"Time to get up sleepyheads," the ring master says, "get in your costumes we have a show tonight!" We all get up and get dressed. Ty lee wears a gold colored tiara, a gold shirt that cuts off at the bottom of her chest, gold leggings, and a gold skirt, her hair is pulled back in a really long braid. I have two outfits; the one for tonight's show is a sleeveless red dress with a slit that goes up to the underwear and has a silver belt, the other is white toilet paper wrapped around my body and made water proof. I only have to wear the dress when we perform for royalty, today we are performing in front of the fire lord and his family.

"Mom! We are too old to go to the circus," Azula complains. Yup that is right mom is making us go to the circus. I agree with Azula I mean I am 17 and she is 18 the circus is for little kids! I mean come on mom we aren't 5 anymore! But I would never say that to her. I also would never admit to agreeing with Azula, ever.
