Zuko was in shock. Once he looked at the picture, He knew who who the guy was. But he refused to tell Azula who he is. It's been a long time now and Zuko doesn't want to go back in the past anymore. He doesn't want to remember what everything happened in the past, he doesn't want to remember how much her sister suffered a lot.

"Azula, I'm very sorry... But I don't know who he is..." he lied as he bowed his head down, facing the floor.

"Zuko, you have to tell me who he is! You have to know him! Why are my questions always left unaswered?! Are you hiding something from me?!" Azula exclaimed with anger.

"No! Why would I?!" Zuko lied.

She then cried and sobbed suddenly as she sat helplessly onto the marble floor.

"I feel confused... Zuko, I don't know what to do... 3 years have passed already, but why can't I still regain my memory back? It's like I feel that I'm not being myself... It's like, I'm not who I am..."

Zuko stood up from the couch and dropped onto his knees as he hugged his younger sister with affection.

"Azula, who are who you are and nothing can change... Let's be patient, okay? One day, everything will be alright and you'll be regaining your memory back... I promise..." said Zuko "But for now, there's nothing we can do... Just remember that I will be always here for you, okay?"

"Thanks for always being here with me whenever I need your help, Zuko..." Azula said as she wiped her tears away as she hugged her brother back with a slight smile.

This is what Zuko always dreamed of. That he and his sister would treat each other as good friends, that he and Azula would always look out for each other. He hoped that his relationship with his sister would continue to work out fine.

Although on the other hand, Zuko felt guilty of not telling his sister the truth. He felt guilty of not telling her about her past. He even lied to her that their parents were dead already... But what if one day, Azula will be able to get all her memory back? Will his sister ever forgive him for what he had hid to her for a long time?

...

(1 week later)

Today was the Team Avatar's reunion day, and Sokka is excited to present his new girlfriend to the group. He's been blabbering about it over and over until it was time for dinner, the time for him to introduce his new girlfriend to the team. At last, finally...

"Okay guys, here she is..." he sang as the big doors were widely opened by the guards. And there stood Azula, dressed in a blue cocktail wearing her hair down. She faced everyone with a slight smile as she walked through the aisle heading towards to Sokka.

She then held the hands of Sokka as the two hugged each other in front of the people. They all gave them a round of applause and cheerful smiles.

Everyone was in shock, especially Katara and Zuko. But they all knew it will come because of their long-lasting friendship for the past few years...

Katara was pretty glad for her brother by having Azula as his girlfriend, since she've seen Azula changed over the years and knew that both of them would really make good couples. Azula and her made good friends too, so it would be okay for her to accept it.

Azula took a step closer to Zuko who was standing next to Katara. She smiled and held her brother's hand,

"Zuko, I hope you're not mad at me..." said Azula as she bowed down her head slowly with a small frown. "Are you?" She asked and she suddenly looked upon to him.

Zuko chuckled and gave his sister a hug,

"Why would I? Azula, I'm very glad for you and Sokka..." he told her.

This time, he will let his sister to love someone again, without him intefering. He wont be doing the same mistake he had done in the past. He want his sister to be happy and free and make her forget all the problems she had been dealing with in her whole life.

Everyone is happy and glad for the two couples, except for Sokka's past girlfriend, Suki. She and Sokka broke up 4 years ago after Sokka told Suki that he's starting to loose his feelings for her. Sokka didn't mean to hurt Suki intentionally, but it did hurt her deep inside and filled her heart with rage up until now. She blamed evrything to Azula, and she was right about it. She thinks Azula stole evrything away from her. She could still remember everything he said which brought so much pain in her heart.

She walked towards Azula and faked her a smile, "Congrats on your new boyfriend, Azula..." she said as she handed out her hand to Azula and gave her a hand shake.

"Thanks, Suki..." Azula replied with a smile and soon walked away.

Suki gave her an evil stare while she walked away. She would do everything to get Sokka back. She will soon get her revenge.

...

The day is almost over and Azula felt dizzy as she walks through the hallway towards her room.

And when she entered the room, she felt like she is about to puke, so she ran to the bathroom fast and vomitted on to the sink.

And so she vomitted several times... But when she slowly opened her eyes, she was shocked on what she saw, blood... Blood is what all she saw on the sink...She vomitted blood...

Her eyes were widened and she freaked out. She quickly wiped her mouth using her hands and opened the sink. She then cupped her hands and filled it with water. Then She poured it inside her mouth and cleansed out all the blood as she spit out the reddish water out from her mouth.

She felt really dizzy and weak so she decided to sleep right away.

How? How did it happen...? How come she vomitted out some blood? Is there something wrong with her body? Well, her body felt strange these past few days. It felt weak and unusual to her. Maybe she needs to see the doctor soon...

...

She soon woke up and she felt a lot better. She then stood up from her bed and started fixing herself. She brushed her hair, wore some casual clothing, and refreshed herself.

She soon opened the curtains for some sunlight and looked past through the windows. There she noticed that some guards were pushing some guy away from the front gate. She couldn't see who that guy was because of her blurred vision, and she felt like she needs to know what's going on down there. So she quickly ran outside and headed towards the front gate real quick.

"What is going on?" Azula asked worryingly to the guards as he looked out for the guy.

"Princess, there is some random guy looking out for you a while ago..." a guard told her.

"Then why didn't you tell me?!" Azula exclaimed to the guards with a sudden rage.

"We're very sorry, princess..."

"Where did he went?" Azula asked as she crossed her arms.

"That way..." the guard told her as he pointed out his finger towards to where the guy a while ago went. Azula quickly got into her bike and rode her way to find the guy she saw a while ago.

Suddenly, she then saw some lonesome guy walking slowly with his head down on the sidewalk. She quickly blocked his path with her bike and she got off to confront him.

"I'm pretty sure it was you..." Azula told him and the guy looked up to her. She noticed him, it was the guy whom she bumped into a few days ago, it was the guy in the picture! She was shocked and her eyes were widened.

"Azula!" Shin said with excitement as he hugged Azula tightly with a big smile.

"Who... Who are you..." Azula stuttered with a puzzled look on her face.

"It's me Shin... Don't you remember me?" Shin asked.

Azula nodded with disapproval and slightly bowed her head down with a small frown, "No, I don't remember a thing from my past..."

And so they sat together on a bench and Shin told everything to her about them. About how they met, about how they loved each other, and about how they ended up being separated from one another...

"Azula, I was your boyfriend..." Shin said with tears.

"No! You're lying! You were not my boyfriend! We don't even know each other... I dont even know who you are..."

"Please, believe me... I knew what happened to you... I saw how you got hit by a truck and loose all your memories. We were all happy but you were dragged away from me... Azula, believe me, I'll tell you everything... I'll help you regain your memory back..."

Azula stood still and didn't utter any word from her mouth. She was confused, did everthing he said was right? Was it all true? Those questions kept on circling her mind. But what if one day she would remember everything and would realize how much she love Shin? What about Sokka then?

"Just... Trust me..."

Azula couldn't stand it anymore, her whole mind is puzzled and all messed up. So she stood up from the bench they were sitting on to and rode her bike and went back to the palace. She left Shin alone, again. But Shin managed to smile,even though he knows that he was starting to loose hope. But then he believes that soon everything will go back to normal and that everything would be alright for them two.

...

Sokka called her tonight and asked her if she could go out on a date with him. Azula said yes and soon got readied. She then got on her shoes and headed out her room.

She went to the park as always, it was their meeting place,and there she saw Sokka sitting on a bench. She smiled and waved cheerfully from afar and excitedly ran towards Sokka.

She sat with him.

"Hey, how's your day?" Sokka asked as he placed his hand over Azula's.

"Fine..."

"I guess not... What is it you have in mind...?"

"It's just I saw him..."

"Who? Who did you see?"

"Shin... That guy I bumped into for the past few days... He told me everything... Everything about me... My past life... He told me about who I am..." She paused and sighed. "He told me he was my boyfriend..."

Sokka chuckled, "And you think all he said was true?"

"I guess... I have proof for that..."

"Really, what?"

"The picture of us two kissing, which I saw in my cabinet on that night... I'll show you... Sokka, I dont know what to do... What if all he said was true? And what if one day I'll be able to realize how much I love him...? What if one day I'll choose to come back to him and choose to leave you instead? Sokka... I'm confused... Is he even telling me the truth?"

"Just follow what's in your heart... I'd never thought that you, my greatest enemy in the war before, would be the greatest friend and the greatest love of my life... You made made me happy for years and you were always there beside me when I have problems to deal with... Azula I love you no matter what, even if one day you'll be gone from me... Just don't forget how much your love means to me, just dont forget this moment..." he looked upon to her, "So right now, let's cherish this moment and have dinner with me, kay?"

Azula smiled and agreed as they both stood up and walked away from the park to eat dinner.

And so they ate dinner and had fun on that night. They went to some arcades and danced on clubs in some of the Capital city's streets. They took pictures of themselves and went to the seashore afterwards...

Until it was time for them to go, Sokka accompanied Azula along the way as they walk together back to the palace.

But while they were walking along the way, Azula couldn't take it anymore... She felt dizzy again and her vision starts to loose focus... Soon she collapsed.

Sokka didn't know what to do... She carried the unconcious Azula with both his arms and didn't know whether to take her to the hospital, or to take her home.

But then her nose suddenly bled and she started coughing out some blood... Sokka freaked out and was terrified of what was happening to her... So he quickly ran to the hospital with tears and surrendered her to the nurses as fast as he could.

He waited for the results nervously and called Zuko over... and when Zuko arrived, the doctor came out of the emergency room already to tell them the results.

"I'm very sorry... But your girlfriend... She has Stage 2 Leukemia..." the doctor told them with a sorrowful look on his face.

Sokka couldn't help but to cry... But Zuko's eyes were widened and his heart was filled with anger.

"No! You're lying! Tell me your wrong...!" He shouted out loud.

"Fire Lord, Im very sorry for what happened to your sister... But it seems that there is still no cure for her sickness..."

"Zuko calm down..." Sokka told Zuko as he stood up and patted Zuko's back to calm him down.

"Just please, don't inform her about this..." Zuko told them.

"Yes, my lord. Azula can go home tomorrow and she's still in a good contdition, but as time passes by, she'll soon get weak and her sickness will take over her body.. I don't know what to do about her sickness or how to cure it, but I think she has still plenty of time before her death takes over..."

Zuko and Sokka remained standing still as the doctor walked away, until Sokka spoke up.

"But why? Sooner or later she'll find it out too..." Sokka said.

"I think she's not yet ready to know everything about this... Just please, listen to what I say..." Zuko said

"I understand you, but... What if she would remember everything? Or even know about her sickness in the near future? She would blame everything to you... She would think of you as a liar, a bad brother... Do dont want that, right? Zuko, she acted way to far from her former self... If she would realize or know how she was in the past, she would be uneasy or anxious, she'll loose her mind!" Sokka explained. "Fix this quick before it's too late, I feel really sorry for your sis..." Sokka said to Zuko and soon walked inside Azula's room.

Zuko stood up there alone in the hallway, he realized how true what Sokka said to him... He felt puzzled, should he tell Azula everything? What would she feel then if he did...? He also felt sorrowful about having a blood cancer. But he thought they were going to start anew? He was never a brother to his sister, all he've done was to lie to her. Pulling her apart from her real happiness. And there he cried, he felt regretful for his mistakes.

"Damn, what should I do?!" he asked himself with rage as he punched the wall with tears uncontrollably falling from his eyes... "Azula..." he whispered her name softly as he slowly slid his body down onto the wall depressingly.

Sorry for grammatical errors or mispellings...
