Azula looked over to Zuko and said "It's a letter from father...he said he want you home, he is sending the royal procesion to come get us...Zuko for your return home you will be welcome as a war hero". Zuko just stared at the ground not believing what he had just heard. There was an awkward silence, that's when Ty-lee broke the silence"Well aren't you excited Zuko?!"she said with her usual prepy smile. "Yea...I guess" Zuko said staring at the floor, still not believing what he had just heard. Mai was lost in her thoughts when she heard Azula say "Mai your awfully quiet today." She looked up from her daggers and glared at the princess, but said nothing. Zuko broke in and said "Now if you don't need me for anything else, I'm gonna go back to my room." and with that he left . After a few moments Mai said "I'm going to the wash room for a while" And left. But she really went to see if she could catch up with Zuko. She first checked his room, but he wasn't there, then she went to the training grounds, nut again he wasn't the either. So she thought she'd try the library next. And to her surprise he was there, he hadn't noticed her come in she walked in as quiet as possible he was in between shelves surrounded by books. It took all her guts, but she stepped foward and asked "I thought you said you were going to your room?" he looked up from his books a little surprised, but quickly brushed it away "Mai?...what are you doing here?"He asked her.

"I came to read" she lied "and what are you doing here?"

"Reading...what else?" he said like it would of been obvious.

"Oh" she replied little embarrassed. "Um...so what are you reading?"

"What do you care" he said dryly trying to sound uninterested.

"I'm just curious" She spat a little annoyed.

She knelt down next to him and picked up a book that was on the floor and started skimming through it. She had a questionative look on her face then she asked" Why are you reading this anyway?...it's not like your a fugitive any more."

He looked up from his book and stared at her. After a few moments of she noticed him staring at her and cleared her throat, he quickly looked away, and rubbed the back of his neck and asked "um...so do you come here often?"

"Kinda...When I get bored...which I guess is very often" she replied.

He chuckled at her last comment. " Do you?"

"Yea I've been coming here a lot lately..."

"Oh...why is that"

"Oh...um...uh...no reason...I get bored..."he lied. She looked at him and raised an eyebrow then looked back down to the book she had just picked up.

After a few minutes of silence she got up and left, when she was walking out the door she bumped into Azula. "What were you doing in the library?" Azula asked

"Reading...what else?"Mai repeated what Zuko had said before.

"Was my brother in there?..."Azula asked.

Mai was lost for words, Azula's face turned from angry to disgusted "Eww...Mai...seriously..."

Mai was confused then understood what Azula had thought "Wait! Azula it's not like that!"

Before she could say anything else Azula put her hands over her ears and stared to walk away while repeting 'Eww'

Mai sighed and leaned on the door behind her, when someone opened it. "Was that Azula?"

Mai turned a bright shade of red and nodded, then walked away before he asked anymore questions. He looked at her walk away then went back to what he was doing.
