Another installment in the {{Interquel}} comics set between the series ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra''. It was written by Gene Yang and released on May 4, 2013 (Free Comic Book Day) and takes place either in-between or alongside the plots of ''[[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderThePromise The Promise]]'' and ''[[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheSearch The Search]]''.

The story follows Mai after she left her boyfriend Fire Lord Zuko in ''[[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderThePromise The Promise]]'' when she grew fed up with him continuing to keep her in the dark about things, especially his secret meetings with his imprisoned father. She's gotten a job in her aunt's flower shop but still misses Zuko. When a customer asks her out on a date, she accepts, hoping the change of pace will cheer her up.

Mai's date takes her to what turns out be an underground meeting of the New Ozai Society, a faction of Ozai loyalists led by Mai's father, the former Governor of Omashu/New Ozai, plotting to overthrow "the usurper" Zuko and restore the proper Fire Lord to the throne. Her father wants Mai to join them and tell them anything she can about Zuko that might help them overthrow him.

Mai, however, is [[{{understatement}} not pleased]] with her father's schemes and even less pleased that he's brought her baby brother Tom-Tom to this place to be properly taught his duty to his nation. Mai declines her father's invitation and fights her way out past the other members, taking her brother with her.

* CurbStompBattle: That fight was so unfair... the entire New Ozai Society didn't stand a chance against Mai.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: This seems to be a running theme for Mai, as her father felt confident enough that she would join his side to lead her right to their secret meeting place and tell her everything about their intentions. Clearly, it never crossed his mind that she would turn him down. He miscalculated her about as badly as Azula did.
