I am not sure where this burst of creativity came from, but I am putting it to good use, I guess. Enjoy!


The red carpet was rolled out for Republic City's beloved founders, Fire Lord Zuko, Avatar Aang and King Kuei. Everyone who was anyone in the city was there to witness the moment the three men officially "opened" the city with a red ribbon cutting.

"It must be nice to be famous," mumbled a starving, young boy who happened to be in the area.

He and his brother, Bolin, waited anxiously for another opportunity to pick the wealthy's pockets.

"Wait here, Bo," said Mako, before sauntering up to a dark haired woman with her back turned and arms crossed.

Luckily, she was hidden in the shadows, but her purse sparkled under the soft lighting. Mako's lips watered as he reached for it. Bolin watched for the police while Mako carefully eased his hand inside the bag. Lightning flashed on the clear night when his hand bumped the woman's elbow.

Before the child could move, his neck was squeezed by long fingernails as the thirty-something year old Fire Nation woman's eyes ripped him to shreds. "I'm…I'm-"

"A DEAD child if you were about to steal from ME. Don't you know who I am, Boy?"

"A really pretty lady," Mako said with a croak. "A really…nice pretty lady".

The woman dropped him with a thud, making others around them gasp. "Azula!" Called the famous avatar, leaving the giant scissors to cut the ribbon with the others and running to assist.

"She's CRAZY!" Cried Bolin, hurrying to help his brother up.

"She's the Fire Princess!" Gushed Mako.

He had read many articles about the gorgeous woman and may or may not have stolen a couple of provocative photos from various places instead of the food he should have been getting for the starving pair.

"These two rats were about to make a big mistake," insisted the princess to the avatar.

To their surprise, the famous man smiled at her softly. "But they didn't, Sweetie".

Sweetie?

Mako, Bolin and the thousands of onlookers were silent as the pair kissed in front of everyone. No one knew about this particular development. The avatar and the Fire Princess were…a couple?

"Aang," gasped Princess Azula her cheeks burning red.

"Aang!" Growled Fire Lord Zuko. "What the hell is going on?" The men stood facing each other, the fire lord was obviously kept in the dark about this as well.

"I guess I was getting payback for your beloved waterbender," said Azula flippantly, leaning her head on her lover's shoulder. "Run along, Kids. It's ok, I have stolen before myself".
