"Zuko, look at the little TurtleDucks. Go ahead and give them bead" said Zuko's mom. "Alright, look at how Azula feeds them!" Zuko said. He took a bread and threw it at the little animal. It quacked and swam to its mother. "Zuko! Don't do that!" Zuko's mom said. The TurtleDuck came to Zuko and bit him. "OW, OW, MOM! Why is it doing that!" yelled Zuko. "It's a mother, it does whatever it could to protect their young, like me," said Zuko's mom. She tickles him and they both laugh. They both got up and walked back into their palace. Zuko's mom gets a letter in the mail from Uncle Iroh. She opens the letter and reads it.

Dear Ursa,
Greetings my sister-in-law, we are about to conquer Ba Sing Se! Lu Ten and I are doing great and since we miss you guys, we shall send these gifts to Zuko and Azula. A special knife for Zuko and a little doll for Azula. We will return once we conquer this city, see you soon :D.

General Iroh

Zuko and Azula receive gifts. Zuko takes out his knife from the case and reads: 'Never Give Up Without A Fight' "Ooh, this is really nice..." Zuko said. Azula looks at her doll and burns it. "You know, what if Iroh and Lu Ten don't even return?" Azula says smiling. "Azula! Don't say that! You're uncle will return, alright?" Ursa said. "Yeah, sure..." Azula said.

The next day, Ursa gets another letter in the mail and she reads:

Dear Ursa,
My dear son, Lu Ten, has passed. I am so broken by this. I don't think I could conquer Ba Sing Se...I'm returning home now.

Iroh.

"Oh no," Ursa said. "Mom, what's wrong?" asked Zuko. "You're cousin, Lu Ten, he's gone. Forever" said Ursa. "Ha, I was right about one!" said Azula. "AZULA! What is with your attitide? Go to your room!" Ursa yelled at her daughter. "Fine." said Azula and she walked to her room. "What is wrong with that child?" asked Ursa to herself. "I'm going to miss Lu Ten," said Zuko. "I will too," said Ursa and she hugged her son.

Later, they have a family meeting. Azulon asks to see Azula's fire bending and after she performs it, Azulon becomes amazed at how she's almost mastering it. After Ursa left, Azula takes Zuko behind the curtain to listen to Azulon's and Ozai's conversation. Zuko leaves and Azula stays to listen. At night, Azula comes to Zuko's room and tells him that Ozai is going to kill him. "Yeah right Azula, get out of my room!" Zuko yelled. Ursa comes into the room and hears the conversation. She scolds Azula and shoos her out of the room and she goes and hugs Zuko. Ursa then left the room and about later that night when Zuko was fast asleep, Ursa comes to the room and says, "Zuko, don't ever forget who you are alright? Ok listen, I'm going now, goodbye." Ursa said. She hugged him and left, a sleepy and confused boy, alone, in his room...
