A/N: no summaries from moi! lol :P I like to keep things a surprise. Hope you like this chapter!

Fire Lord Ozai looked extremely uncomfortable and out of place lying on the hard hospital bed.

"Oh…what happened?" he groaned.

Zuko answered, "uh…I stepped on a whoopie cushion and you passed out laughing. Hey, Doctor! You got a juice box?" The doctor served Zuko quickly before turning to Ozai.

"You are quite a lucky man, Mr. Fire Lord, sir. Your throat was terribly unaccustomed to laughing, so the slightest outburst could have left you mute. If it wasn't for your lovely daughter, Azula, here, you would be unable to speak!" Ozai beamed at his daughter, who smirked at her brother and gazed at everyone with aloofness.

He turned to his wife and whispered, "I'm glad we decided to have a girl."

"But you were the one who threw a flowerpot out the window when you heard the news!"

"Never mind your mother's pointless babbling, Azula," Ozai quickly reassured, "the pancake she ate this morning probably stirred her…um…imagination?" Azula scoffed and began entertaining herself by trying to incinerate a daisy with her eyes. "And as for YOU, my son, you have caused much damage and disruption today. How DARE you plot my death by stepping on a whoopie cushion!"

"Yeah, ZU-ZU! Did you plot Dad's death so you could speed up your coronation?" Suddenly, Azula had taken interest in the conversation. Of course, anything to get her brother banished would be the pinpoint of her undivided attention. Zuko choked on his juice box.

"WHAT? Dad, you were the one who told me to leave the room!" Prince Zuko exclaimed.

"Silence! You have plotted treason, disgraced the family by drinking from a JUICE BOX, and now you are speaking against your father, the Fire Lord of our nation? You are despicable. Leave the palace immediately. You are (A/N pause for effect)

BANISHED."

Fire Lady Ursa looked horrified.

Azula's face turned purple to keep herself from laughing evilly.

Prince…er…sorry, EX-Prince Zuko's ears rang with the word "banished." How could his father betray him like this? He has always been his father's favorite child!
