I OWN NOTHING!!
If I DID, KATARA WOULD NEVER HAVE FALLEN FOR AANG!!
The waves crashed against the shore. The calming effect it seamed to have on the fourteen-year-old water bender was amazing. She had been all over the globe, seeing more water than she ever wanted too, but it was only here, that she felt truly calm.
Lifting her hand, she moved it back and forth, as if she too, were part of the water. As she did this, the waves began to get larger and larger, until the water touched her feet, from where she sat on the beach.
Sighing, she dropped her hand, and hugged her knees, watching the sun set, and
rembering all the amazing thing that had happened since she and Sokka found Aang.
"I've always envied how water gives life to so many things. Most people believe that fire only destroys."
Katara jumped. She didn't expect Zukko would be here. He came down and sat next to her on the waters edge. He obviously just got back from training Aang. All he wore was a pair of shorts that came up to his knees, and he had almost invisible beads of sweat along his forehead. Even though he was born and raised in the fire nation , it was still unnaturally hot lately. He looked as if he could use some cooling down.
Smirking, Katara drew some of the cool water from the ocean, manipulated it to splash Zukko straight in his face.
" Hey! What was that for?" he asked after he had gotten the salt from the water out of his eyes.
Katara put on an innocent look and said," You looked hot." She stood up and looked out at the water. A sudden thought struck he, and she
smirked. She grabbed Zukko's hand, and forced him up.
"Katrara... what -" He was cut off when Katara began to walk, still having a death grip on his hand.
They walked out to the water's edge, and waded through the water until it came up to their knees. The moon was up, and it looked as if it were a spot-light, glistening on the surface of the water.
Katara told Zukko to hold his breath, and they dove down into the seemingly endless ocean. Katara had done this a couple times in the week or so they had been here, but she didn't think Zukko had ever been where they were going.
She swam in front of Zukko to guide him, but kept looking back, to make sure he was still there. The two finally came to the entrance of an under water cave. Katara swam through first, and took a deep breath when her head broke the surface of the water. Zukko came through seconds later, gasping for breath. He heaved himself on a rock, and Katara followed in suite.
The two laid there for what seemed for hours, marveling the beauty of Katara's hide away. There were Fire Lilies along the edges of the cave, and the way the water's reflection danced on the top of the cave, was mesmerizing.
Zukko took a deep breath, and looked over at Katara. Water drops and air bubbles were caught in her hair, which made her look as if she lived in the water. He leaned over, and before she could ask, he kissed her.
When they pulled apart, it was Katara's turn. She leaned over and kissed Zukko. So he wasn't the only one who felt fireworks.
They laid there for a while, before they decided tat it was time to head back home. They had a lot of explaining to do.
