Zutara: Can We Trust Each Other?

DISCLAIMER: ATLA (Avatar: The Last Airbender) and other characters/associated material is copyrighted and not mine.I will use the characters however to create/simulate a story within the plot of ATLA to suggest what might happen.

Prologue: "Well, look at this, enemies and traitors all working together," sneered Azula, "I'm done, I know when I'm beaten." She held her hands in defeat. Neither of the six people who were standing offensively against her, moved. "You got me," continued Azula, "A princess surrenders with honor." Iroh sneaked a glance at Toph, remembering what she had said about his nephew, Prince Zuko. Azula's eyes shifted before resting on Iroh. She moved suddenly and shot lightning at Iroh. He yelled and collapsed. Zuko yelled as his uncle fell to the ground, before the remaining five simultaneously fired at Azula, who created a ball of lightning around her to protect herself. The ball exploded as all four elements met in one big collision. The entire town erupted in flames. As the smoke drifted away, Aang got up to survey the damage. Azula was gone, and Zuko had hurried to his uncle's side under the cover of smoke.

Ch 1:

Everyone was silent as Zuko groaned in pain at his uncle's still body. "Zuko, I can help," said Katara sympathetically. Zuko couldn't reply sd he thought of how much Uncle Iroh was a father figure and had always been there for him. Iroh groaned in pain and shifted. "Zuko, if you want him to live, let me help!" said Katara, "I'm a waterbender and can heal your uncle."

"Katara's right," said the Avatar, "She can save your uncle if you let her."

Zuko thought about it, I don't want my uncle to die, but I don't know if I can trust the Avatar, let alone one of his friends. "Fine, but only the waterbender can come with me, to heal my uncle." Zuko choked out.

"WHAT?" yelped Sokka.

"I will return her to Bae Sing Sae after, and only after my uncle is healed."

"How will I know if my sister is safe?" protested Sokka.

"Just trust Prince Zuko," said Aang, "Please, Sokka?"

"Fine," muttered Sokka, still thinking about all the things he would to do to Zuko if he hurt Katara. Katara moved towards the Prince.

"Help me lift and move him to our camp on the nearby mountain." said Prince Zuko.

"Goodbye Katara," said Aang and Toph, sadly.

"You'd better not hurt my sister! If one bone is broken..." said Sokka menacingly.

"Sokka, he won't do anything. If Aang trusts Zuko, I will, too." said Katara, "Goodbye Aang, Toph, and Sokka. I'll miss you guys, but I'll see you in Bae Sing Sae."

"Make sure you protect my sister, or it's your life!" said Sokka angrily at Zuko, flexing his muscles, "I'm not afraid to hurt you!"

Zuko rolled his eyes, but was silent to Sokka's jabs. He, with Katara's help, then lifted his uncle and carried him away as Aang and Toph turned to go.

So, what do you think? Sorry, that the chapter isn't so long! But c'mon peoples, it's my first fanfic. I'm a newbie...though not really. Anyways, there are at least 3 different places, possibly 4 where Zuko and Katara could get together! I hope there is a little more Zutara action in the works for the episodes! I didn't like the Earth Kingdom girl in Tales of Bae Sing Sae! I mean, she's moving in on our Prince Zuko! Is there no hope for a little Zutara action?
