Because I Said So Part Two
By: Me, BitterSweetNightmare
Pairings: Jetzula and Zue
Summary: On the night that Fire Lord Azulon died, Ozai was killed. Leaving Ursa to take over and to stop the war. Causing Zuko to marry a Water Tribe princess, named Yue and Azula to marry the son of a soldier of the Earth Kingdom, named Jet.
Information: Jet lives with his father, whos a Earth Kingdom general and the Yue never died and became the Moon Spirit. Jets is a Earthbender and Yue is a Waterbender. Zuko and Azula never compete with each other to get the Avatar. See how much changes when one person dies instead of the other. But I still like Ozai better then Ursa.
Azula is 14, Jet is 16, Zuko is 17, and Yue is 16
Chapter Two: Things Change
Jet sighed as he looked out from the war ship that Ursa send to bring Jet, his father, and his friend Haru. He wanted to bring to best friend with him since they were like brothers. Harus father had died resently and Chang adopted him since his mother disappeared. Life was changing for him and it scaried him. Jet would be put in a warmer climate, marry the Fire Nation princess, have children with her, and becom the next Fire Lord. Even though Fire Lady Ursa was his fathers old friend that didnt mean that to have peace between the Fire Nation and the Earth Kingdom Jet and the princess had to marry. The only thing he knew about her was that her name was Azula and named after her grandfather, Azulon. Not enough information to know before the wedding ceremony. This was strange. This was weird. This was change. A change that would stop the war that has hunted the world since it began a centery ago.
"Things are changing Haru. But is it changing for the good or bad?" Jet asked his friend. Haru cepted his eyes on the ocean, thinking. This would be one of the last times he and Jet would spend together and that made him sad. Jet was his best friend in the world and he didnt like the idea of leaving him behide in the Fire Nation. But he was not in control of Jets life. General Chang was and he gave his one and only beloved son as a peace offering to the Fire Lady. So that he would marry the princess. Both of them had heard of Princess Azula, she was sad to be cold hearted and fiece. Unloved by her mother they heard, but why would her mother hate her if she was trying to find Azula a good husband, just like Ursa said in the letter to Chang. That didnt make sense to him, but it did to Jet. He knew that the mother knew that Azula wont want to marry someone from the Earth Kingdom and that it was a form of torture. "For the good of the world, but bad for the princess." Jet nodded "Exactlly, Im being used to torture this unloved girl. But it wont work, Ill treat her with respect, cherish her, and love her no matter what. I will show her all of that."
"Thats quite noble of you, Jet." Haru said smiling. Jet always ment what he said, this princess was getting a good husband.
-----------------------------
Yue played with a piece of ribon, thinking what she was getting into. This was for the good of her country and the world. Finally the Fire Nation would live in peace with the Water Tribes and the Earth Kingdom. The only way to get that was for the two royal children to marry one child from each nation. The princess named Azula was to marry a Earth Kingdom generals son, named Jet. And for the prince to marry her. Yue was going to be married to the Fire Nation prince named Zuko and there was nothing she could do to stop it. The princess to the Southern Water Tribe, Katara, was already marrying some boy named Hahn. So that left only her. She sighed and rested her head against the wall of the room. Things were going to change for the good of the world and she was willing to let the change come. Soon Prince Zuko will come and they will be married in front of the whole tribe. Change was good, but she felt a little nervous about it.
----------------------------
Uncle Iroh took Azula out for a stoll through the palace grounds. They were talking about who to invite and everytime Iroh mentioned someone important or someone that she wasnt close to she would shake her head and say no. It turned out the only people that she wanted to come was Ty Lee, Mai, Iroh, and finally Lo and Li her firebending teachers, who were the sisters of her grandfather, Azulon. Those two were the closes things she had that reminded her of her father and she intended to keep they by. Iroh of corse had to come and her two best friends Ty Lee and Mai had to be there too. She didnt want her mother or Zuko there though. Azula was jealous that Zuko had always been loved by anyone he met and that Ursa loved him more.
Azula wanted a change, she wanted to go up to the alter and make a commitment to Jet without Ursa or Zuko. It was to tell Jet that she was his and that she would start a new life with him without those two around all the time. And when it would come down to Jet becoming Fire Lord the world would know about the marriage. But she didnt want everybody to know now, not until she got use to the changes that were coming.
---------------------------
When Ursa found out about the list of wedding ceremony guesses she was outraged with feirry that her daughter would try to have a simple, closed wedding. Ursa wanted the world to know that Azula married someone from the Earth Kingdom. She wanted to see her daughter suffer from the humiliation when she walks around the kingdom with their subjects wispering and point. But she knew that Iroh would never aloud it. He told her that it was bad enough for her to marry a stanger, but to have a wedding she did not want to have. Even Zuko agreed with him. So the only thing that was close to the huge wedding was to annouce it at the speaking of peace later that week. Then they would know and will wisper and wonder about their princess.
Hopefully Jet and his father would get here soon and then when the people are wondering about why a Earth Kingdom general and his son is here, then when it was time for her to give her speech they would know that their princess was trying to keep information away from them. They will not trust her and then Azula would be a target to be killed. Ursa would then keep Jet and marry him herself. And have another heir with him. She had seen a picture of him and she was taken by him. This would be a sweet change.
-----------------------
Zuko looked at the moon for the first time. He decided that his bride to be would love looking at the night sky, since the moon was very inportant to the Water Tribes. Their bending was all about the way of the tides and moon and his mother did say that Yue loved the moon. Yue was also named after the moon and the name did go with the personality his mother said that she had. He was not nervous any more, because he knew that he would love her forever and ever. This change it his life would be welcomed.
----------------------
"We are going to reach the Fire Nation faster then I thought." General Chang said to Jet. His son didnt answer, he was busy thinking about his feature bride. "Azula." he wispered once again, the princesss name was sounded beautiful to him as he said her name over and over. At first the name sounded deadly, but it changed after the third time. He loved how it sound, it was so exotic to him. People from the Fire Nation did look exotic to him and he looked exotic to them. He knew that Azula must have dark hair and pale skin and it reminded him of yin and yang when he thought what it would look like when they touch.
"I cant wait to meet her." Jet finally replaid when he notice his father looking at him for an answer. "She has been on my mind lately. Do you think what is said about her is true?" Chang nodded. When he was at war the Fire Nation soldiers they captured talked about Princess Azula all the time. "I think shes acts like they say because she has never been loved. And I plan to show her that...I know Im going to love her, even though I never met her. These changes will be good for the war and for her."
