Zuko was in his room getting ready for his coronation. He somehow felt good but in a bad way. He had mixed up feelings in short. While he was fixing his clothes a person knocked on his door.
"Hey, Oh so powerful Lord Zuko, you don't look so bad than I expected."
She gave out a quiet chuckle.
" Very funny, Katara. That was kind of you.", He said sarcastically. " Can you help me with this?", He asked.
"Yeah, sure.", Katara replied.
" You know, Mai won't be happy seeing you here inside this room with me. Alone.", Zuko said, threatening Katara. But had no idea who he's dealing with.
" Hmph. Aang is also not going to be happy when he sees his best frined flirting with his girlfriend.", Katara said, teasing him back.
" I'm not flirting with you!", Zuko protested.
"Yes you are! I can tell Zuko. Why did you come with me when I wanted to find my mom?"
" Because no one in the group would."
" I can always go alone."
Zuko remained silent.
" Why di you want me to go with you to get Azula?"
" LOOK , I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE!"
" YOU DID! BUT YOU CHOSE TO BE WITH ME, WHY CAN'T YOU JUST ADMIT THAT YOU LIKE ME?"
" BECAUSE I DON'T!"
" God, you are so guilty", Katara said turning away, walking back to the door.
" WAIT!", Zuko said, pulling her.
" What?", Katara said. Now she was irritated.
Why can't he just admit that he likes me? I mean… Katara's thought faded.
" I , one, don't like you, two, picked you to come with me because your water bending might come in handy.", Zuko said, letting go of her arm.
" Whatever. I'm going ot go get ready for the coronation. If you mind, I'll bee leaving… My Lord.", She said jokingly.
" Katar-"
But then, she was already gone.
Zuko, she can't know, she just can't know. Zuko thought to himself.
When Katara was walking back to her room, she noticed a figure waiting by the door of her room. It was Aang.
" Hey, you okay?"
" Yeah, I just went to Zuko's room to congratulate him. Why? Is something bothering you?"
" No. It' sjust that, umm…"
" Something you want to tell me?"
" NO! I-it's nothing…."
" Aang, something worrying you, isn't it?"
" Zuko."
"Why? What's wrong with him?"
" It's just that… You've been…. No, that's not it… Urghh! Why is it so hard to talk to you about this?!!?!"
Katara kept silent.
" Aang. Just say it."
" I love you, Katara, but I think I'm losing you to a fire nation freak!", Aang blurted out.
" So this is what it's all about. ' You loving me'?"
" I guess so."
" Hmph, well if you mind, I need ot go change for the coronation."
" Okay, bye Katara. I love you… Remember that…"
" I love you , too, Aang.", Katara replied as she headed for the door and shut it behind her.
Katara, whatever happens, your life depends on it. He can't know, he can't know.
