If it is nighttime, park as close as you can to the front door. Park under a beaming lamp post, the one marked "Row A," and make sure that you clutch your keys tightly in your fist so that your Disneyland key chains slide against your Kate Spade bracelet. If it's daytime, still park as close as you can to the front door. You just never know.
Do no count the number of couple holding hands. Do not pay attention to whose fingers are on top, who stands on which side. Do not count them. One, two, seven, twenty-six. No, stop. You'll be stuck here all night if you keep following the couple with the matching red Chucks.
Do no fake your phone calls. When you realize that you're walking in the wrong direction, do not put your phone up to your ear to listen to nothing but shrieking children at Toys R Us. Everyone can tell you're faking it, anyway. No one ever makes a sudden u-turn in the middle of the mall because of a call you got from your grandmother.
Do, though, take this time for yourself. Spend forty-five minutes trying on those chiffon cocktail dresses in the window at Saks that you know are several hundred dollars out of your price range. Buy the essentials, the stuff you never get when you're out with your girlfriends. You need plain white tank-tops, ankle socks, and an alarm clock. Get a proper bra fitting. Buy that bra. You've been wearing the wrong size for years and that's why your back hurts.
But for the love of god, you need to stop counting the couples holding hands. Three, two, one. Attached to every engagement ring is a man who looks like he wants to take that ring back. You don't want to be an outlet-mall bride, do you?

Zutara Week - Mask
Zuko rubbed the wrinkles that he knew were beginning to form permanently on his forehead. He looked down at the stack of papers on his desk before leaning back heavily in his chair.
The smell of ink was making him slightly ill.
He didn't remember how long he had been in here, which meant he had obviously been in here too long. With a sigh he pushed himself out of his chair and walked to the window of his study. He stuck his head out and looked over the Palace Courtyard and beyond to the Imperial City. His eyes fluttered closed as he tried to catch a whiff of the ocean in the air. He was too far away. Zuko sat on the windowsill and rested hi

History
Ursa stood behind the back row, waiting for her friend to arrive and the wedding to begin. In truth she had been planning this day for about twenty years now ever since Fire Lord Azulon mentioned, if only in passing that her infant son should be betrothed sooner rather than later (she had also started planning Azula's wedding around her first birthday). In the end Zuko was never formally betrothed to anyone as a child. She had just come from a very one-sided conversation with Zuko and eagerly awaited the beginning of the ceremony.
She sensed rather than heard her recently made friend Kya glide nex

Slam. "That's it. You're going to tell me why in La's name you act differently when there are other nobles around rather than when its just your friends," Katara growled angrily.
Zuko looked at his irate girlfriend and tried to think of a good way to explain this to her.
"Uh," he fumbled while rubbing the back of his neck. "Well
"
"He has to," Mai answered for him. While Katara still felt a little uneasy with the fact that Zuko was still friends with his ex, seeing the two interact more like siblings rather than former lovers made her happy. Plus Zuko had very few friends.
"Why?" She asked.
"He's the Fire Lord. He has to show
