Zuko POV

Zuko woke up with a start. He had the same dream again that he has been having every night for the past week. It's a memory from when he was seven and Azula told him that Mai liked him. He had run away like a coward and really hurt her. Over the years he never really forgave himself and he doesn't even know where to start. Like she would forgive him anyway. So because of that he just avoids Mai at all costs.

"Oh Zu Zu!" Azula came into his room.

"Don't you know how to knock?" He rubbed his eyes from the sudden light that filled his bedroom.

"Of course I do. It's just that I have something for you. But I guess you don't want what I have to give you."

Zuko was quiet as Azula go close to the door to leave, but his curiosity got the better of him. Right before she closed the door, he said, "Wait. Let me see it."

"I know you couln't stand not knowing."

She searched her pockets until she found what she was looking for. It was a folded note. Zuko reached out before Azula was able to read it out loud to him.

Zuko,

I have decided that the family is need of a vacation. You and Azula are to meet me at Ember Island this weekend. I will send some guards for you.

Fire Lord Ozai

"Is this for real?"

"Why? Do you think I would make up something like this?"

"Only you would, Azula."

"Zu Zu, I'm surprised at that you would think I would do something like that. I'm your sister and I love you." She played an innocent smile.

"You are the farthest from what I would consider to be a sister."

"That really hurt, Zuko." The fake sadness all over her face was so sickening it made Zuko throw up a little in his mouth. "And also, Father told me to tell you that we have to wait in the front hall for the guards at sunset so they can escort us to the boats." She was quiet for a little bit with Zuko staring at her. "Well, with that said, I'm off."

She turned to leave and closed the door behind her which left Zuko in the dark once again.

"Since when do we go on vacations as a 'family'?" he asked out loud to himself before pulling the covers over his head and going back to sleep.
