Drabbleness is going to be my set of drabbles and short stories about A:TLA. My drabbles will have humor (Lots of humor), angst (sort of), and everything in between. They'll have Zutara, Tang, and lots of other pairings. This is how it works, YOU, yes YOU my dear reader will be given the opportunity to be my muse by simply giving me a one or two line quote/saying. From my favorite quote/saying of the previous chapter's review I will create a story. That's it; I'll review as soon as I can, (Possibly once every two days).

Goodbye
This collection is dedicated to my Beta-reader and sarcastic buddy, Shade.
Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar the Last Airbender, Nickelodeon does. But when I make it rich….

Azula stood by the window as Mai and Ty Lee entered the room and sat down. She stood surveying Ba sing se as servants served them tea. She brushed a hair away from her face as the servants left silently.
"What's wrong Azula?"
Azula turned to look at her friends. "I have to tell you two something. Something important."
Mai and Ty Lee exchanged glances.
"We've been friends since we could walk Azula, you can tell us anything," Ty Lee exclaimed as Mai sipped her tea.
"I know that."
"So then tell us already!" Mai stated as Ty Lee sipped her tea.
Azula turned back towards the window where a beautiful sunset was taking place, "I've been meaning to tell you this for ages actually, since we conquered Ba sing se."
The sun was sinking lower.
"I know that neither of you would approve of what I'm about to tell you. In fact no one would approve, that's why I haven't told anyone before."
The sun had nearly disappeared behind the hills.
"On my first day as Queen of Ba sing se I visited the dungeon and you would never believe what I found there. Or more precisely, who I found there.
The clouds glowed with the sun's final goodnight.
"He was a boy that had been taken prisoner by the Dai Li. He knew the Avatar and that the Waterbending girl was his weakness. More importantly, he was head over heels for me."
The room was now lit only by the lantern on the desk.
"We talked and after a while I realized that I was falling in love as well."
A cup smashed on the floor behind her.
"I knew that my father wouldn't approve and I told him that, he asked me to run away with him and I agreed. We're leaving tonight and I just needed to tell somebody. Anybody!"
There was a light knock on the door.
"I knew right away that as my best friends, I would have to tell you. But I had to make sure that you would keep it a secret."
She turned around.
"That's why I had the servants poison your tea."
She walked past her deceased friends pausing to place a hand on their shoulders.
"I tried to find the fastest acting poison so that you wouldn't suffer long if that's any condolence."
She opened the door and embraced her lover.
"What took you so long?" Jet asked.
"Just saying goodbye to some old friends."
Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead.
