Chatpter 1:Katara POV
"Hey Zu-Zu", I said laughing. "You know I hate that name", He said rolling his eyes. "Aw I'm sorry", I said kissing him. "Gah, you know I can't hold a grudge", Zuko said smiling. "Oh yess", we heard coming from Aangs room. "Oh no", we said in unison. I walked to the kitchen passing Aang's room. I contemplated knocking on his door, curiosity getting the best of me, I knocked. "Huh, wait hold on, someone's at my door", I could hear Aang saying, "Yea?" He screamed, "Come in". I opened the door and walked in, to my relief was Aang was alone, and fully dressed. "So, what're you doing", I laughed. "Talking to Toph on the phone...What did you think I was doing?!" He joked. I laughed, "I'm going out to the diner want to come with",I said beckoning him. Aang nodded and I walked out.
In the car, I had Zuko in the passenger seat and Aang in the back. "Why's is it so like tense, put some music on", Zuko complained. I rolled my eyes and got my phone out, "What song? Blackbear?" "No", they said in unison. "Jeez, tough crowd", I laughed,"Let's talk". "Ugh, what is with women and talking", Zuko groaned. I leaned over and hit him playfully. "At least we're here", One of them said.
At the diner, we sat in our usual booth, "I remember in High School, when we used to have bending classes, and all that stress", I laughed. I'm a waterbender, skilled too. Me and my brother's grand-father is Master Pakku. Aang is an airbender, but he's also the Avatar. My boyfriend, Zuko, is a firebender. Back in the day, the firebenders and airbenders were rivals, but now my two favorite people are brothers. "Ugh, at least you only had one bending class, I had all four", Aang groaned. Suddenly we both blushed rembering how we had dated in high school. "Um, it's okay guys. Katara and I are happy together, and well Aang you're still a single pringle", Zuko said teasing. "Oh hey little sister", my brother Sokka said suddenly. I turned around and saw my brother Sokka and his girlfriend, Suki. She mouthed a sorry to me, "I tried to keep him away from here, but this is our second favorite place". "Actually, we have to talk, come on let's go outside", Sokka said to me. I nodded and got up. "What's up? Oh no, did something happen to Gran-Gran?!" I touched my mother's necklace. After my mother had died when I was young, this necklace gave me hope. "No, it's nothing to bad, our apartment is being fumigated, and I'm gonna stay with Suki, she said your welcome too". I quickly thought of all of me and Suki's sleepovers, but I'm pretty sure Suki and Sokka would take advantage of their newfound time and I didn't want to be up all night listening to Suki's bed break. "No thanks, I'll stay with Zuko and Aang", I said, I quickly added,"No funny business I promise". He looked at me funny, but smiled. We walked back to the booth in the diner. "What happened?" Aang said his eyes full of worry. I've always loved Aang's eyes, they were gray like a storm cloud. "Uh, nothing too bad", I said realizing that everyone was staring at me.
After everybody finished we all went our separate ways. Holding Zuko's hand we went to the turtle-duck pond. "I remember, coming here with my mom before she disappeared, we used to feed the turtle-ducks", Zuko said queitly. Zuko wasn't the most sentimental guy and I loved when he felt brave enough to show me this side of him. "I bet she was an amazing woman", I whispered. I smiled and pulled a piece of bread out of my bag. When Zuko saw he smiled and his face lit up. I looked around and a couple with their children. I've always had this vision of having a loving husband and beautiful children. "You see them too", he whispered in my ear,"One day".
On the walk back to Zuko's apartment I told him about my apartment situation. "Of course you can stay with us, it'll be practice for if we ever lived together, plus you practically live there anyway". We went to the apartment, got the car keys from Aang, and left for my apartment. "Ugh, I hate walking up so many stairs", I complained. Finally at my door, I quickly went to my room and threw clothes into a suitcases, gathered my bathroom supplies, and got my books. "Okay, all done", I said. "Wow how many magazines do you have here, it looks like a dentist's waiting room in here", Zuko joked. I rolled my eyes and started for the car. I opened the trunk threw my stuff in there. Back at Zuko's apartment, I heard Aang on the phone with someone, I looked at Zuko questioningly. He shrugged and left to put my stuff in his room.
