Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing. If I did, i wouldn't have left that cliffhanger at the end of the last episode when Zuko asked Ozai where Ursa was and this story would've happened.
Elements Fall Together
Recap: Aang and his friends came together to fight the new Phoenix King and stop him from destroying the world. Aang fought as hard as he could and finally got back to the Avatar state and took away the Phoenix King's fire bending. Through that Zuko and Katara went off to fight Azula. Zuko almost risked his life to save Katara from getting hit by Azula's lightning. Katara then found a way to stop Azula from becoming a full Fire Lord. Afterward everyone was finally relaxed and best friends for as long as that rope was tied, but the rope made new knots after Katara and Aang shared a kiss.
I watched as Aang went back inside. I turned back around to watch the sunset. I smiled. Just as I was about to drift off into my own world, Zuko came up next to me.
"Enjoying the sunset?" He asked.
I smiled. "I suppose. Now I can watch it without having to worry about a stupid war. Without having to be worried about my friend's safety." I saw him smile at the corner or my eye.
"Katara…I want to thank you again for helping me fight Azula. I don't know what would've happened if she wasn't stopped."
"I did what I could. It was a little easier because of the break down she was going through." We laughed. "What made you want to help me fight Azula?" He went back to serious. I thought for a second even though I already knew the answer and he probably did too. "I really did want to help just because I knew that you'd need it, but I was also repaying you for helping me find my mother's murderer." I touched my mother's necklace that wrapped around my neck. He stood silently as he looked at the sunset. I felt awkward so I broke the silence, "We should go back inside." He nodded. He took one last glance at the setting sun and walked inside with me.
I grabbed a cup of tea and sat down at a table. Mai sat across from me, looking as depressed as ever. She took a long sigh and looked behind her at Zuko. "Is everything alright, Mai?" She turned back around and looked at me.
"Yeah, everything's fine. It's just… Zuko's been acting a little different ever since you helped him fight Azula. I understand that he's happy about that, but I'm wondering if there's anything else." She glared at me.
"Mai, nothing's going on between me and Zuko, I swear."
She sighed. "I believe you Katara, it's just weird."
I didn't speak anymore. I sipped my tea and watched as Suki and Sokka complained about the picture Sokka drew. Toph was sitting down making new forms with her meteor bracelet. "I'll be back." I stood up and walked over to where Toph was sitting. "What's up, Sugar Queen?" I smiled and sat down next to her.
"I need a favor from you."
"I already like the sound of that." She formed the meteor back into a bracelet and put it around her arm. "I need you to see what's going on between Mai and Zuko, something's up between them." "Sure, it's fun talking to Hot Head." She stood up and walked over to Zuko. She punched him in the arm and they started talking. Aang walked over to me. "Hey, Katara." I smiled at him.
"Hey, Aang."
"What's wrong?"
"Just a little worried."
"About?"
"Mai and her relationship with Zuko. She said that he's acting weird and she's not sure why. Just a little worried about the two of them."
"Do you want me to talk to Mai? Because it seems like Toph's already talking to Zuko."
I smiled. "I'd appreciate it."
I kissed him on the cheek and saw him blush. Then he walked over to where Mai was sitting. My head began to spin and I took another sip of my tea. Sokka and Suki were still arguing and yelling. I stood up and walked over to the arguing couple. "Can you guys calm down? I mean, yeah Sokka's painting isn't the best," "Hey!" He yelled. "But you guys shouldn't argue about it." Suki put her hand on my shoulder.
"Is everything alright, Katara?"
"Yeah, just a little tired."
"You should go get some rest." I nodded. "I just don't know if I can rest right now, I have pressure on my shoulders. I'm just gonna go sit down." I sat alone at a table and rested my head on my arms. Then my eyes closed.
