New home

A moving carriage stopped in front of a two story building, the commander looked at the apartment complexes around her. "If my mother could see me now." Zaya said at flats she owned, it was at the worst part of the city or better said it was the slums. "Bumi, did I waste my money?" Zaya said she had this place be run by one her moms informants and he seems to have just wasted the money on fancy clothes.

"How did you even buy this place at sixteen?" Zaya thought for a moment.

"I had one of my mom's "friends" signed the contract and after reading a few things. It was done." Bumi carried a box of Zaya's stuff, into a flat. Zaya looked at the empty room. "It was really cheap! I can understand the only good thing the underground station, but everything else is fine." Bumi placed the box on floor.

"Maybe it's the triads?" Zaya laughed. "What's so funny?" He questioned unpacking the box.

Zaya looked around. "Because, triads are nothing but a bunch self taught idiots." She smiled, imagining the potential of this place. "Yep maybe some repairs with the rent money and some furniture." she said walking around. "I think, I can call this home." She said hoping to stay in one place for atleast a year.

He looked through the window. "I hope we can get good nights sleep." Bumi and Zaya kissed, once they broke up she whispered into his ear causing his face to turn red.

"I wish we could just got to the court house and get married instead of what ever our families are planning." Bumi sucked through his teeth. "What?"

"My Mom and-" Zaya knew what he meant.

"No." Zaya said instantly.

"It's a tradition and Izumi put in a lot of effort to plan it." Zaya groaned. "Oh it won't be that bad." Bumi said going down the stares.

Zaya groaned. "Easy for you to say! You don't know how it was for me during that whole Medal of Honor Presentation. It was like talking to your childhood horror stories!" Bumi raised a brow at that.

"My mom was bitter and she made everyone out to be a monster. Like the world turned her into monster I guese." She spoke with a hint of sadness, when Bumi hugged from the back she blushed.

She smiled. "Don't worry I will be at your side the entire time." They kissed and she took out a few things from the box. She put on a hair and hung a few pictures.

They left the house and went to the dock. "Appa!" She just fell into the Bisons fur. "So fluffy."

Kya looked at bumi. "Is she marrying you or appa?" Bumi joined in on the Appa bed testing.

Katara just laughed while bumi's siblings just looked annoyed. "They're made for eachother." Both siblings spoke in unison.

After a day of flying Zaya fell asleep. "Should we wake her up?" Kya asked her mother.

The pillow at that moment chuckled. "Even if the sky fell, she wouldn't wake up." Bumi told the others and kya drooled on her pillow. Then she started biting on his shirt.

"Mmh seas prunes." Katara smiled at that.

"Looks like I'm making sea prunes!" Everyone exception from Bumi and the sleeping princess had a look of dread.

Dream narrated by mother.

Once upon a time, Princess was turned into monster by a evil wizard and her banished face changing fairy mother. The princess destroyed and did as the Wizard told, one day the princesses brother came home and played with her little sister. One day the sun and moon kissed, all the magicians lost their power and the ugly prince attacked the evil wizard and left before the wizard made him uglier.

Young zaya. "Did he take the princess with him?" Mother chuckled.

No, the princess was still controlled by the wizard, she chased after the prince and his magic knights. But one day when a star fell to earth, wizard made the princess a queen and she became even more monsterous.

"That wizard is a jerk!" Azula smirked at her offspring badmouthing her father.

The captain of the knights with the help of the mud queen and the warrior princess, destroyed the wizards army and the power element master took away the wizards powers. The world celebrated the fall of the evil wizard but the princess was still imprisoned.

She sat in the prison and the prince brought his sister to their mother. She returned to her sons home and tried to return her daughter back to normal but the princess left the kingdom.

Zaya looked at her mother with teary eyes.

She traveled the forests finding weaker monsters, eating them and stopping them from hurting others. Sh travelled the wood and one day she found child starving and eating some sweets. When the monster came closer the child offered the sweets to the monster and she protected the child, time passed and the curse slowly disappeared. The princess raised the child, she became the childs mother and the child became her daughter.

Zaya's eye lids were getting heavy and she yawned. "Sleep now." Azula smiled at her daughter.

End of the dream

Zaya woke up to see the stars. "Like the desert." Aang looked at Zaya who was the only one awake.

"They are beautiful, did you visit the Si Wong ?" Aang asked.

Zaya blinked. "I spent most of my childhood there, My mother would hunt the since most criminals were there." Aang was about speak against that but then remembered when he was a fugitive once and the gaang went to Shi Wong desert Which lead to losing Appa. "It was also the place my mother passed away, I melted the sand and bent the hot glass to stay out of the heat and freezing the nights." Aang grimaced at the fact she had to survive alone.

"Bending heat was the easy part was bending the heat out." Aang raised a brow at that.

"You can bend heat?" He asked remembering one time when fire Lord Sozin and Avatar Roku bending the heat out of Magma. She nodded aang turned around. "How does it work?" He asked curious.

"It's basically like lighting redirection, without worrying about the heart attack." Aang nodded under standing that it was absorbing the heat into their body. "Heat stroke is still annoying but I can just do this." She thrust her palm and released burst of hot air, not powerful enough to be equal to an air bender, but enough to make aangs cloak move a little.

Aang was amazed that a fire bender could do something like that. "I rarely use it because it usually get chilly after a bit." She curled next to bumi and started snoring

Aang chuckled seeing the two together.

At the Caldereta she was being dressed in Royal garb, and she hated the sleeves. "Why?" She asked one of the woman who dressed.

"It's t-tradition, Mistress." She spoke with her hands shacking. Zaya sighed and just held her mouth shut, as they put the make-up on.

Bumi was looking around wearing Red grabs and where everything was too long. Tenzin was chuckling. "You could fly off if a strong wind hits you." He joked and Bumi rolled his eyes before they froze seeing Zaya in makeup. "W-who's the model?" He got a light hit on the top of his head by Bumi. Kya was staring, blushing and this lead to her going to get a drink, more like splashing her face so it wouldn't combust into a hundred pieces.

Zaya tried to get back to Bumi yet she was blocked by some noble trying to get favors with the Fire lord, trying to gain some point with her might be the best way but one. "I wish we knew you earlier, would have set you up with a real man." Zaya looked at the forty year old woman with dyed black hair to hide her aging. Zaya simply created a current between her pinky and thumb, and offered her hand.

The woman hoped this was the start of a friendship however it a show how far the apple well from the tree as was she tased by the fire bender. The woman let go shacking yet being noble meant she couldn't show any sign of weakness. "Anyone else want to annoy me with waste?" The women stayed silent and Zaya went to find a chair since it seemed that a few fire nation soldiers of the united forces were bombarding him with questions.

She made a cup of tea. "That was a surprising act." Said a elderly woman in her sixties.

Zaya sighed. "They deserved it." The woman raised a brow, questioning look. "They were bad mouthing Bumi bear, wouldn't you do something if someone was bad mouthing your loved one?"

Her mouth twitched. "You look like too much like your mother." Zaya raised a eye. "That wasn't a insult." Zaya chuckled.

"I don't remember her face, but I remember her being beautiful." She heard one of the nobles calling her mother a monster and she stayed silent.

"she should apologize for everything that her monster of a mother did." One of the nobles said to her friend but shut up once she saw the glare from the woman next to Zaya, they all looked away and became silent.

Zaya sighed. "They should apologize for making her a monster." Ursa eyes widened. "I wonder if his still alive, I hope his is stuck in some cell." Ursa relaxed once she said that. "How was my mother when was a child Granny Ursa?" She smirked seeing Ursa's surprised a expression.

"Did she ever talk about me?" Zaya Shacked her head. "It looks like she raised you right."

Zaya thought about it. "She passed away when I was twelve. Tough but fair, Though the summer spent in the desert was great." She said with a smile. "She only bought me toys only when it could improve my training in someway." Ursa stared as it sounded rather like Ozai. "Every night, I would climb into her bed at some point she would just let me in without a fuss." Ursa smiled at that. "Why aren't there any good drinks here?" She just asked that to hide her tracks.

Ursa drank her tea. "So that the groom stays virile and incase the bride is pregnant." Zaya froze up and Ursa raised at that reaction. "Aren't you a bit young?" She had a smirk on her lips.

"Now you remind me of my Mom! That smirk whenever she wins, be it paisho or combat training." Ursa just kept the smirk knowing she was . "Yes, when you have a near death experience, life feels too short worry about anything." Ursa nodded understanding her reasoning. " and I'm an Adult I can make own mistakes." Ursa chuckled at that response.

"So any names planed?" Zaya stared for a moment realizing she didn't have any ideas. "Ryu is a good name." She looked at her grandmother.

Zaya thought for a moment. "I like it, how did you have one ready?"

"That's what I wanted to name Azula if she was a boy, but he wanted gain favor with his father and said if it was a boy he would name him Azulon." Zaya snorted holding herself back. "What's so funny?"

Zaya cleared her throat. "Mom would set my hair on fire if I named my daughter after her. She did every time I challenged her to an agni kai, luckily she would only set the tips on fire so I could— She was tricking into baths!" She face palmed only realizing it now.

Then Izumi came finally getting away from brown nosing nobles. "How do you find the celebration?" Made a fart noise with her mouth. "What habe two been talking about?" Ursa whispered into her ear. "Oh! How about Nemu? I heard it makes sure children sleep well at night."

Zaya sighed. "Stop giving me perfect names, for my new pet." She blinked at them.

Bumi came and she pinched his cheek pulling as a punishment. "I'm sorry." Her cheeks were puffed up as she continued his punishment.
