"How's it going with your boyfriend?" Mai leaned against the wall as she sipped a drink when Azula walked back in the room hearing music loudly and people getting louder.

"Guess hes just born to be weak and die weak," Azula huffed touching her lips a little and scowled when Chan walked past them awkwardly.

"So where's the other dummy's?" Azula rolled her eyes as Mai motioned again hearing loud cheering.

Azula looked to the side confused but her jaw dropped with wide eyes. She's seen war and been in life threatening battles but she's never been this shocked.

There was Zuko and the other long hair boy, ruon jian, with a line of shots in front of them, Zuko smirking with confidence as it was obvious he was intoxicated by they blush across his cheeks and nose but he was sturdy and was able to hold himself.

Katara and ty Lee cheered behind him as they started, roun jian was half way done with his shots as Zuko was already done and downed some juice as a chaser.

"Take that pretty boy!" Katara punched the air as Zuko grinned wiping his lips with his thumb.

"What is going on..?" Azula blinked as ty Lee turned around and screamed excitedly tackling Azula in a hug.

"Zula! I missed you!" Ty Lee giggled hanging onto her as the Princess watched her brother still shocked.

"A lot of girls are into Zuzu tonight, who knew he was a fun party boy," she squealed.

"Katara, zuko, come here," Azula rolled her eyes as the two looked at her, Katara hugged zukos arm as she lost her footing a little but snorted.

"She's so bossy," Katara hummed as Zuko looked at her confused.

"What's wrong? Just relaxing like dear old dad wanted us to do," Zuko leaned against the table.

"Your so drunk aren't you?" Azula grabbed Katara off him and ty Lee caught the water bender in an embrace as the girls giggled.

"Mai did you keep an eye on those two at least?" She sighed looking at the other sober girl.

"Not my problem," Mai walked away and looked at Zuko.

"Handsome here is in the lead for all the fun games, he's with us now bitch," the girl from before hugged Zuko from behind, she was also drunk and wasn't afraid to show her interest.

Zuko was still just as silent as he was usually but he leaned against her a little as she giggled, Azula growled a little annoyed and looked behind her seeing a boy help Katara off the ground.

"You doing okay kat?" Jet helped her up but she stumbled and leaned against his chest.

"I'm okay, this is the most fun I've ever had, and I didn't think I'd ever have fun again," Katara giggled as he held her waist.

"Also, my names Katara, he gets to call me kat," Katara leaned back and pointed to Zuko but Jet held her waist so she didn't fall.

"Well I think you need another drink to catch up with your friend," jet chuckled as he winked at Zuko who kept glancing over at them while Azula and the drunk girl were yelling at each other.

"Yay! I never got to drink at home, who knew it'd be sooo fun," Katara squealed hugging him.

"Come on cutie, bottoms up," Jet handed her a shot glass for both of them. Katara took the shot straight and coughed a little as Jet handed her his to take another. She made a face at the burn but smiled when it was over, he chuckled seeing her sweet face flushed into a rosy color.

"Why don't we go for a walk or something?" Jet whispered in her ear and Katara turned her head looking at Zuko. Her perked up a little seeing her eyes.

"Hey get your hands off her," Zuko pushed himself off from the two and walked over to them.

"Relax man, just a party," Jet smiled at him but Zuko pulled Katara away from him and pushed Jet back.

"Zuko what is wrong with you?" Mai turned to them surprised at the hostility.

"It was all fine and dandy before that pervert had to go touching girls," Zuko looked at her as Katara stood by him more, thankful she didn't have a stranger against her anymore.

"Look at that, jealous and a temper, bad mix," Mai scoffed as he frowned.

"Hey Zuko, I'm hot, can we get some air?" Katara touched his arm gently as she was leaning a little and he put his hand on her shoulder to steady her despite him drinking more than her, he was also bigger than katara.

"Aw man don't leave!" The drunk girl whined.

"Yea I could use some air," Zuko looked at Katara concerned for her and put his arm around her shoulders to walk her out.

"What a cock block," raun jian helped Jet up as they watched the two leave.

"Don't worry dude she wasnt that hot anyways," he elbowed the olive skinned boy smirking as Jet narrowed his eyes at them.

Zuko walked in the sand as he let Katara run ahead yelling and laughing as she stomped her feet in the water and kicked around her not caring that her skirt was getting wet.

He could feel himself sobering up after they left the party, the ocean breeze helped him as Katara wasnt stumbling over herself anymore but was still pretty drunk.

Zuko looked around with a small sigh enjoying the night breeze, he looked up at the cliff seeing the house that his family use to stay at when they were little.

He went off to the side a little and found the trail that would go up to the house, seeing the long grass he use to play in with azula, chasing each other as their parents followed patiently behind.

He would watch the sunset with his sister and mother.

His uncle was the first to bring him when he was a baby, with his cousin, it was their home before they shared it with his father.

"Zuko?" Katara ran over to him with the sand sticking to her bare feet.

"Where you going?" She looked up at the house that was closer than Zuko expected, he didn't realize he was still walking.

"I..." Zuko stared at the house. Last time he was there... his mother was alive.

"Sorry, I wonder when I'm drunk," he smiled back at her.

"What is that place?" Katara walked ahead curious of the big abandoned house.

"My families beach house," he gulped a little.

"Can we go?" She asked even more curious.

Zuko said nothing as they walked up to the house and went up the old wooden stairs. Zuko grabbed the handle of the door but it was locked, Katara seemed disappointed until she screamed when Zuko kicked the door open in one try.

He walked inside silently and stopped when he saw a family portrait in the front, Katara looked where his eyes landed and saw it as well.

"Your family is beautiful," she whispered walking up to it, she looked at the woman in the picture and pursed her lips, her hand moved up to touch the child that hand Ozai a hand on his shoulder, Zuko without his scar as he looked innocent almost.

"We've always been broken," Zuko didn't spend any more time on it and moved on.

Zuko picked up a piece of stone that had a baby hand print inside, he put his hand over as it didn't fit on the stone. Memories flooding back into his mind, his mother, his father... it doesn't even feel real.

"We should go back, I think I'm sober again," Zuko turned to her suddenly and Katara bit her lip.

"Are you okay?" Katara noticed him set the stone down.

"Just so much has changed," he looked at the ground.

"Let's head back to the beach, this place is depressing," he walked to the door as Katara looked at the baby hand print, her heart sunk seeing how dusty everything was.

"Yea I don't think I'm drunk anymore," she ran back after him before she was in the house alone.
