A/N: This story was originally going to be a songfic to a Carrie Underwood song, but it got too long, so yea; now it's going to be a chapter story. My friend doesn't like it when I write Zutara; she says I'm using my powers for evil. Well, whatever, I'm addicted. Hope you like it and please review. P.S. Yea 3VAD127, just proof read this so thanks to her(That means there shouldn't be any errors!!)

Disclaimer: I don't own A:TLA.


"Zuko!?" Katara gasped. He was sitting against a tree in the middle of the forest, hiding his face from her so she wouldn't see the tears streaming down the sides of his cheeks. Zuko had just recently joined "the Gaang," as Sokka called it. She had gotten used to him leaving for a night and coming back in the morning, but he said that he was only going to visit his uncle, who was still hiding from the Fire Nation. Katara had decided to go out for a walk because she couldn't get to sleep that night, but meeting Zuko wasn't part of her plans.

"What's the matter?" she asked, sitting down beside him as if they were best friends. Katara still wasn't sure about him, but for right now, he wasn't in any position to fight her.

"Nothing," he said in his normal I'm-not-going-to-tell-you voice.

"You can trust me," she said, putting her hand on his shoulder. He had grown accustomed to her gentle coaxing. When they were together, it seemed like Katara could see straight through his scar like it wasn't even there.

"Katara, I- I-" Someone stepped on a twig off in the distance. "What was that?" he asked.

Suddenly, a big ball of fire shot right at them.


A/N:Hope you liked it. I know this doesn't matter but, please review!!
