A/N: my first Avatar story, please R&R and yes those that goes to my profile, I know that I still have uncompleted stories

On an island just at the sea boarders of the Fire Nation, a enraged girl was striking lighting and blue flames around the metal walls, trying to break out.

She fell onto the floor in exhaustion, and when she looked up, she saw Ozai in front of her, "You useless piece of flirt, I trained you, I groomed you and all I get is failure"

"No I'm not, at least I can still bend" Azula replied, but Ozai was no longer there, this time it was Ursa, her mother.

"What are you doing here..." Azula spat at her

"Azula, dear, this is not who you are" Ursa said as she walked over to the now 15 year old girl.

"So, what do you care, in your eyes, I'll always be a monster and Zuko will be your precious son"

"Its because, even if I hate you, or treat you badly, you are still my beloved daughter..."

"Do you really think that?" Azula said again, "Yes, all I ever wanted was for you to be like your old self, when you had friends, when you were lovable and happy"

"Well, I had friends but they betrayed me" Azula spat

"Its because, you used fear to keep them, not like when you, Ty Lee, and Mai, would well you three ran around the corridors happily"

Then a guard opens the small windows and shouts, "Hey, come on, you got a visitor!!" the guard and opened the door, unrelentingly he went in and picked Azula up before dragging her to a room and sat her down.

In front of her was a young man, who looked around Zuko's age, with a medium muscular build and around 1.8meters tall with black hair just like Zuko's when he was in the earth kingdom and crimson red eyes a little uncommon but not unheard of, he was also wearing a Fire Nation General uniform without the helmet, but what caught her eye was not the outfit but the two swords on each side of his waist, strange for a Fire Nation General, who are usually benders

"Azula." he said with a warm smile

"Who are you?" Azula replied coldly, although she wasn't looking at him.

"You don't remember do you..." he replied, not at all offended that the mad Princess in front of him, does not remember who he is.

"Just say who you are, are you a doctor send by my brother? Or someone send to kill me"

"Azula... you seriously don't remember me, do you" the young man replied still with the smile.

"Yes, now, cut the chase and tell me who you're before I make sure you burn to ashes" Azula replied this time looking into the crimson red eyes.

"Well, I guess, this should help you remember" He replied calmly and raised up his red hand, on it was a fire ball. But it wasn't red or blue... it was gold and surrounded by Lighting twirling around it.

"Wait. You're... Ryo..." Azula replied as her gold eyes widen a little.

Flashback.

"Breath in, breath out" Zuko instructed the young Azula who wanted to love and care while learning to Firebend from her brother, an old Azula, who changed after she started to bend the powerful blue flames.

"Zuko... can you please teach me to firebend now??" Azula asked impatient from the excerise.

"Soon, but first you got to learn to control yourself, or you can hurt the ones you love" Zuko replied with a warm smile as he tousled her hair.

"Ok" Azula replied suddenly energetic, then they saw a boy with black hair and red eyes ran towards them, "Hey Prince Zuko, sup man, heard you were teaching Princess Azula to firebend"

"Ya, whats up? Ryo, and please with no one around, you don't have to go Prince Zuko on me" Zuko replied with a smile before banging fist with the guy.

"Oh wait, this little girl must be young Azula, hi, I'm Ryo, nice to meet you" the boy said as he shook hands with her, while Azula just stare at him as if she found her 'crush' "Hey Zuko, since you are teaching her to Firebend, why not we have a little battle and show her whats its like to really Firebend?"

"Sure..." Zuko replied and turned to Azula, "Hey, stay here and watch, me and Ryo will show you what its like to Firebend without hurting someone"

Azula nodded and took a seat near the lake under the tree while the two friends stood on a concrete floor and with that they stood in front of one another.

They both bowed and got into a stance, Zuko than started running towards Ryo and jumped into the sky as he spin kick a flame towards the younger boy, who back flipped as the flame missed him by inches, he landed and shot a flame with a punch, which almost hit Zuko, who spun around to dodge it before he shot another blast of flame towards Ryo.

Azula watched in amazement as her brother and her new found 'crush' battled, as they as if natural to each other dodge and shot streaks of flames at one another when suddenly Zuko used his blue flames, something he never liked to do since Azula decided to use them.

Ryo dodged them again and shot a streak of flame towards Zuko, but this time it was neither blue or red, in fact it was gold and surrounded with lighting twilling around it.

The battle soon ended and the sun was setting, "Yo, Zu zu, want go see the sunset?" Ryo asked mocking his friend.

"Hey, how many times have I told you to stop calling me that, if theres one thing I like about being Prince is that, you guys can't make fun of my name"

"Whatever, so want to come?" Ryo replied

"Oh well, father wouldn't be home at the moment anyway but what about Azula?" Zuko said as he stretch his muscle, "She can come" Ryo replied with a smile and with Azula piggy back on Zuko they ran and jump across the roof tops to a spot where there was a magnificent view.

And they sat down, with Azula in between the boys, as the sun set, the turned from blue to a shade of orange, "Wow... its beautiful" Azula said as her widen and she leaned down onto an arm on the right side, thinking it was Zuko and fell asleep.
