Of Princes and Ponds

The first time she pushed him into the pond in the palace garden they were six and he deserved it.

He had pulled her hair, stolen her ribbon and ran. She had chased him and cornered him beside the still waters of the pond. She had grabbed her ribbon back and without hesitation or thought of station or etiquette had pushed him roughly into the pond. He sat shocked in the waist deep water while turtle ducks investigated his soaked sleeves . Obviously no one told Ursa that she couldn't push the prince of the Fire Nation into the palace pond.

The second time they were ten and it was worth it. Once again the young prince had taken her hair ribbon much to her annoyance. Angrily she demanded to know why the boy had such an obsession with ribbons. He smirked that insufferable cocky smirk that made her blood boil and replied " Your hair is much prettier down" . Taking advantage of her shock he stole her first kiss. An offence which once again got him pushed into the pond. This time he didn't mind so much, after all she was pretty when she blushed like that.

The third time they were sixteen and it was an accident. Her favourite place in the palace had always been the turtle duck pond, he knew that better then anyone. So unfortunately and with a complete lack of foresight this was where he decided to tell her that he had chosen her to be his bride and future princess. In her surprised and happy state she once again ignored etiquette and practically jumped into his arms. Unfortunately this display of affection besides being unacceptable for the future princess and earning her a slight frown from her soon to be husband also sent them falling back into the ponds clear water.

SO Ozai firmly decided that if he ever had to tell his wife something, he would do it indoors and away from any major source of water.

(A policy later adopted by his son)

AN: My first drabble , what ya think? If Ozai seems too nice read more into how he gets the kiss , sneaky , also he did not steal her ribbon th first time for the same reason as the second time , he was just being a brat, and lastly notice the verb "to tell" not asked.
