Iroh POV:
My brother was opportunistic. He was competitive, ambitious, and heartless. He was a good father, at least in the start. He saw himself in Azula but did the same as what our father did with him. Our father always feared that me and ozai would somehow overthrow him, so he created this rivalry between us. I am not a good guy in some stories as well, but after the death of my son, I realized what i was doing. It was his love that changed me. So I believe Azula can be healed, can be changed by Love.

Yakone POV:
Ex-Firelord Ozai I seem young, but I can assure you in the near future I and my kids if I ever need them shall dominate this so-called republic city. "What do you need me for if you have everything sorted?" Well, I need you to be firelord again and, in return, make a separate nation for the blood benders, which were kicked out by the water tribes as now it is illegal to blood bend. "Even if I say yes, all my people are either killed or I don't have my bending anymore. Avatar Aang removed it."

Yeah, but your daughter, as per my reports, is the right-hand person, and she will give you her life. She will be your weapon. She can be your bending. (Ozai was taken back with me suggesting to use his daughter. I can always change my face if he says no, I thought. Well, Firelord Ozai, do we have a deal? "Well, Yakone, even if I say no, you are going to commence with your plan. So I say you start with your plan. Even if I don't have my daughter, I can always use your men. If you want a separate nation, that is." (This clever man. No wonder her tricked his father into giving the throne to him.) Well, we have a deal.

Ozai POV
My daughter is with that useless guy and his right-hand man. My daughter, who is a prodigy, is that guys servant. Whatever she did, it was survival of the fittest. Azula.... You guard over there, ask my son that I request an audience with my daughter Princess Azula.

Azula's Pov:
Aang I keep on telling you. If you are using fire or any element, first thing it must flow through your blood and then pump through ur heart like oxygen. Then you release it to fight. "I get that but when I see you I can't help but melt and my knees wobble." (HE made his cute face and I can't help but pinch his cheeks.) Aang (I hold his face) if you are a good boy I will reward you (I whispered in his ears and to my surprise his ears turned red and for a minute he couldn't breathe or at least acted he couldn't breathe.) "My princess you are too cruel yet too breathtaking. I shall work hard to get that reward",he replies with a cheeky smile in his face. (During the entire  training he was brilliant. He made is obvious he wanted reward from me...Cute Avatar. My boyfriend is Cute....ummm what has gotten into me. Soon an attendee came to us and asked us to join for lunch with Zuko.) "Should we skip this lunch and go out on a date?", Aang quickly says while grabbing my hand. Well I feel we should go to Zuko cause he never calls anyone to have lunch with him not even Katara. His lunch time has always been his "Me time" so how about we go for dinner together?( He was a bit sad but when I said for a dinner he became so happy and kissed my cheek. To that I grabbed his face and kissed him.) "Azula....(I looked at him) I love you",he says while hugging me. (It's strange to be in love but this is the happiest moment of my life.)

Aang POV:
We both after getting read as per protocol went to have lunch with Zuko. Zuko's mind was elsewhere the entire time and only when we were done with lunch he called us to his office. He didn't say anything for a while and kept looking at Azula. To break the awkward silence I asked him What's the matter Zuko?

He looked at me and then Azula and then told her "Father wants to meet you Azula. He requested an audience with you." (I looked at Azula who was stunned and who couldn't even look in Zuko's eyes) I secretly grabbed her hand. (She looked at me and after calming herself ) "I don't want to meet him Zuko. I don't want to even look at his face or hear his voice.

I do not want to see him so please help me avoid this ZuZu",she calmly said. (Zuko looked at Azula and then from his drawer took out a letter.) "He knew you won't see him so he sent a letter to you. Now he said to read this and then go to him but I myself don't want to but I respect your decision so it's up to you Lulu",he assured Azula. (After being hesitant she did took the letter but said as that she is not sure if she is going to open it. We left his office and after going away from the office i grabbed her hand and run towards my room.)

Azula's POV
(I was happy. Finally I was and now father wants to meet me? Ha...What does he think of himself? Why did I grab the letter? Want to see him beg? No I don't. While I was thinking this after exiting Zuko's office Aang grabbed my hand and took me to his room. After entering his room he hugged me.) "Azula I am here with you. You don't need to worry.

If you want to go meet him that's totally okay he at the end is your father",he while patting me said. Aang after 5 years he wants to meet me isn't that strange. I feel that he wants me to do his dirty work again. (He looked at me and kissed my forehead) "You are not that Azula whom I met in ba Sing se. You are smarter, beautiful and intelligent than that. You are the love of my life", he said to me. (I couldn't help but cry. As I was about to wipe my tears I looked up he was crying as well.) Why are you crying Aang? "I can't see your tears",he said while trying to wipe his tears.

(After calming myself I put my head on Aang's shoulder.)

I will go meet Father in prison.
