Iroh POV:
Azula had always hid her feelings. I remember when once she was playing chess with her mother when zuko got hurt while playing with Lu ten. Seeing zuko cry, Ursa left azula and quickly went to see Zuko. To hide that Azula was jealous, azula burnt the chess board, and then Ursa sent her back to her room. I told Ursa that Azula is different, but she declared that she had no hope for Azula.
Love for Azula is an unknown concept.

My intention to love
I hope it doesn’t fulfill itself
I hope
I hope that I don’t get over you too soon

Azula PoV:
( When I woke up I the morning, I was happy. I didn't have nightmares and nor could I hear his voice calling for me to kill. I wanted to see aang, but I didn't  go for breakfast and called for breakfast in my room. I have to go with him this night to see fireworks, so this way, I will only see him once. He is charming. After the breakfast I went for training. The thought for training popped after months, and I just followed it. While bending, I realized that I have gotten stronger even without practicing, but I needed a practicing partner.)

"It looks like you need a partner. May I be the partner you need"( I turned around and it was him)."I mean practicing  partner."(I couldn't help but blush. I felt that my ears were about to burn) Aang, be careful, not to catch my fire. "I wish I could catch your fire, my princess." Aang, do you know what you are saying, right?Saying this to fire princess means a lot of things. I will let it slide as you don't know the customs.( I start to leave the practice area but he grabs my hand) "Please don't let it slide and let's meet later at night for fireworks(HE gives out his usual smile after being awfully serious and leaves my hand.)

(The night comes way fast today. At the exact time time he knocks my door and asks if I am ready. I asked him to wait for a while as I was getting ready. I had to wear formal attire cause the tradition states that. (Author: She was wearing what is in the picture above) What would Aang think if he saw what I was wearing. I went out of the room and when he saw me his eyes widened and it's the first time someone had seen me with such love in their eyes.)  "You look  beautiful, my princess." ( I don't know how to respond to such a compliment, so I nod )

Shall we leave? "Yeah, I even groomed Appa for your convenience, my princess." There was no need, but thanks. (What am i even saying? I can't even softly talk to a guy. He helped to get on Appa.) "Yip Yip. I found the perfect spot Princess to see the fireworks. You will love it" (I am afraid to love it Aang. I am already loving it. After reaching the spot. He sits next to me. He is very close.) "It's starting, princess." (I nod)."This may be rude of me, but why aren't you talking? " (I can't talk even talk nicely.) What do you mean? I am talking, and we are here to see rather than talk. "I wish you would talk to me." The fireworks are starting.

( The fireworks were beautiful. How could a thing burn so pretty. How can fire make something this beautiful. Whenever I burned anything, it turned dust. "Azula, how can you burn the ducks in the pond." Mother, I hope I could burn myself the same way. This was a waste of time. Love is not my thing. I tried. He is nice and I will never find a person who is this charming, nice and understanding but doesn't he need someone like that as well. He deserves better... but let me enjoy this moment. I looked at him to find he was looking at me. I smiled, but then I looked at the sky. Wishing to disappear...Sorry aang. The fireworks ended, and he shifted appa's direction to Palace. It was a silent but comfortable ride. He helps me get off and escort me to my part of the palace.)

"Princess, will you be my training partner tomorrow?" Sure. (HE gives off the happiest smile I have ever seen) "See you tomorrow then." See you.

( I go to the pond on my way to my room. I try to feed the duck, but it bit me.) So you still remember me. So how can he forget the scar i gave him (I mumbled)

Aang Pov:
She was not okay, Momo. She was sad after seeing fireworks. How can fireworks be sad? I don't get it, but I swear I will love her. Wait. I love her...

Iroh's POV:
One is a fool fool, while the other is an overthrowing fool. I think this tale is going to take me a lot of time. Excuse me, can I get a cup of jasmine tea?
