Disclaimer: Obviously, I don't own Avatar:TLA, else Zutara would be the canon ship of all canon ships, along with Tokka. But whatever, I DON'T NOR WILL I EVER OWN THIS SERIES!

Celebration Feast for the Avatar and Friends, Episode 18; The Waterbending Master

Conversation One – Yue and Katara, Friends

Katara stared at the princess. She sat perfectly, eating little and doing other things that princesses probably did. Katara frowned. Sokka laughed, poking the princess in the shoulder and causing her attention to be put on him. His wide grin and something he said, that Katara couldn't hear, made the princess giggle slightly. The two seemed to be making a fuss, though, for the Chief and a few of the higher ups of the North Pole were staring at them in shock. The princess noticed this first, for she stopped giggling at him. Sokka stuttered whatever joke he was spouting to a stop. He stood up rather slowly and then disappeared away from the table. Katara looked over at Aang, who was glaring down the Sea Prunes. The waterbender decided on something, sliding into the spot her brother had been occupying not too long ago.

"So, you're the princess, right?"

"Oh, yes I am. Princess Yue, who may you be?"

"Katara, I'm Sokka's sister. Sorry if he's annoying, he gets like that around girls."

A small smile broke onto Yue's face. "He wasn't, he seemed nice."

"If you say he was funny, I'll have to waterbend you into next week." Katara teased.

"You're a waterbender?"

"The only one from the Southern Tribe, yes."

"…The only one?"

"…" Katara messed with some of the fish that lay in front of her, on her brother's plate.

"I'm sorry." Yue bowed her head. "A lot has been taken from us from the war. I can't imagine…"

"It's alright…"

"Oh."

"What's it like to be a princess?"

"To be a princess…" Yue shook her head. "To me, it's my life. I can't explain that to you, but Katara, what's it like to be free?"

"Free?"

"Yes."

"I'm not necessarily free. The war still goes on, but I guess… It's nice. You're not trapped and dedicated to something."

"It sounds fun."

"So come with us sometime."

"I can't, even if they gave me the chance to."

"No? Why not?"

"…I.." Yue sighed. "I owe someone here my life, I can't leave them behind. Father says that someone will need me soon."

Katara huffed. "That's no fair. Sometimes, you need to get out, Yue."

"It's not for me."

"You don't have friends do you?"

"My servants are rather nice…"

"They don't count."

"Then, no."

"That won't do…" Katara tapped her bottom lip. "Okay.. How about we be friends?"

"I can't..."

"Nonsense! Even if I won't be here long, you need to talk to a girl who understands, alright?"

Yue smiled, but it was a sad smile. "Okay, Katara of my sister tribe, we will be friends."

"Okay! First things first. Boys are stupid." From behind the waterbender, Aang let out a protest. "WE don't let them get to us. And we also don't let people tell us what to do."

"But then…"

"No buts! From now on, you listen to those rules. Trust me, if you're with me, you'll have fun!"

Yue decided Katara was crazy.

Author's Note: Haven't been in this Universe in a while. Miss it, alot. Ignoring my other stories, because I don't remember their storylines, this is a short little series. It will focus mostly in on Yue and Katara, Sokka will be here once and while, and a few others.
So, uh, Review?
