ATLA: Bonds Within Bending

The Other Side

Azula's POV

I awoke to a very angry looking shrivelled old man standing over me threatening me with a broom, I appear to be on the floor of a bar of some kind, but how did I get here?

"Up! Up! Now skedaddle punk!", he brushed under me to attempt to get me to leave, but I wasn't moving, I move when I want to move. "Are you deaf??", he asked and continued to sweep.

"Yes", I nodded and smiled fakely then rolled my eyes, "look mr walking talking raisin I'm going to take my time here, but I'll leave sometime today, you just have to deal with that", I shrugged.

"I'll call the cops", he frowned standing the broom up and raising a brow down at me.

"I'll call the nearest coffin maker if you even touch a phone", I should care more, but I really don't. He got his phone out of his pocket and so did I, "how tall are you?", I looked into his eyes it turned into a stand off, he soon gave up and put his phone down.

"Just leave soon", he shook his head walking away slowly.

"I hope you leave your decaying body soon", I groaned laying back down on the floor and spreading out, covering my eyes from the fluorescent lights above me, guess I partied a little too hard last night.

"Azula? Azula? Hey, have you seen a girl with black hair and yellowish eyes", I heard a familiar voice speak but I couldn't be bothered to see who it is, the lights are hurting my head too much right now.

"This is a bar we see a lot of people here", I heard the old man speak up to them.

"She's probably insulted you", it was Zuzu's voice, he's come to collect me, excellent.

"Ah, she's on the floor over there, please take her away", the old man begged.

"Thanks", I heard heavy footprints coming my way and took my hands off my eyes, "there you are, you look terrible", he sighed.

"That's impossible, but even if I did I'm sure I still look better then you", I chuckled slightly then reached my arms up, he picked me up and carried me out taking me to Iroh's apartment.

"I captured Azula", Zuko looked at me then dumped me on the couch, Iroh walked over with a giant smile on his face as Zuko moved away.

"Good of you to join us my favourite niece", he handed me a cup of tea, he always seems to have one on hand.

"I'm your only niece", I gladly expected the tea, holding it with both my hands raising a brow at him.

"I know", he gave me another smile before walking away again, they care about me for sure, but they're both fed up with me I can tell, god knows why.

Oh well, I'm bored, time to get the girls over.

Mai's POV

"Hello?", I answered my phone hearing Azula on the other end, she sounded tired and moody, "I thought Azula was calling me, how come you're on the phone Zuko?", I laughed lightly.

"HaHa very funny, was I with you last night?", Azula asked, "did we go out together".

"Yeah, well no. I found you on the street completely out of your mind and then took you into a store to get you something to eat and drink to bring you back down and next thing I knew you were gone", I explained.

"You didn't bother to call me to find out where I was or go looking for me?", Azula has a lot of questions today.

"You always turn up somewhere", I shrugged, I'm right she does just find her way back, or Zuko carries her back.
