"Katara hasn't been doing so well lately..." Aang muttered shutting Katara's bedroom door.

"What's wrong with her?" Sokka asked leaning ageist the wall.

"I don't have a clue. She just doesn't talk any more."

"I think we should go to the mall, and give her some time alone." Sokka suggested.

"I think that's a bad idea..."

"Listen, I know her better than you. Let's go, little man." Sokka said pushing Aang out the door.

Katara watched Aang and Sokka walk away through the window. She was holding a small picture on her lap, of her and Zuko before they broke up. Well, before Azula screwed it up.

"I can't believe he's still gone after all this time..." Katara mumbled. Azula had told her that Zuko had gone on a trip out of State, and that he no longer wanted anything to do with her, funny that she had told her brother the same thing.

"Why can't I get over it?" She asked looking at the picture. It was only taken during Summer Vacation, at the pool in Zuko's backyard.

She tossed the picture at the wall, the glass shattered all over the floor, and the picture fell silently to the carpet.

She glanced back out the window to see that it had began to rain, perfect weather for what she was feeling, bad weather for what she wanted to be feeling. She pulled on a pair of shoes, and walked out of her room. "I'll go meet up with Aang...If I can stop crying..." she whispered whipping some tears from her eyes before running out the front door.

Zuko wasn't felling much better. Damn Azula, ruining everything he had once had with Katara. Too bad he couldn't figure it out.

He looked at the picture on his desk. Just like the one Katara had. He grabbed it and tossed it into the trash can. 'Why the hell would she do something like that?' he thought angrily.

"Hey Zuko." Azula smirked in the doorway. "Something wrong?"

"No." he said bitterly.

"Big brother, you can tell me." she said faking concern.

"Katara left me." he muttered hoping she wouldn't hear.

"Oh dear, that's too bad."

Zuko sighed and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Azula asked.

"To the mall or whatever. Be home by dinner..." he said before running down the stairs.

Azula smirked.

"Aang! Sokka!" Katara called walking into the mall.

"Are you seeing who I'm seeing?" Sokka asked with a mouth full of french fries.

"Yeah!" Aang smiled running up to the older girl.

"Hey Aang!" Katara smiled, holding back what was really going on inside.

"Katara? Are you okay?" Sokka asked.

"Never better..." she lied.

"That's great!" Aang said.

"Since I'm here, I'm gonna go get a pair of shoes I've been wanting." Katara said.

"Okay, We'll see you at home." Sokka said. "We were just leaving..."

Katara nodded and ran up the staircase into her favorite shoe store. As she tried to walk though the door, she bumped into somebody, knocking them both over.

"I'm sorry!" Katara said standing out and holding out her hand to help the other person up. They lifted their hood out of their face, and Katara gasped. "Z-Zuko...?"

"Katara?" he asked taking her hand and standing up.

"I thought you left the state for someone else..."

"I thought the same thing..."

"Why did Azula tell me that...?" Katara asked, stopping mid-sentence.

"She told me the same thing."

Katara hugged him as tight as she could. "Katara...Can't...Breathe..." Zuko said gasping for air.

"Sorry." Katara giggled pulling away.

"I can't tell you what those two months away from you did to me."

"I can. They killed me."

Zuko stared at her eyes. "You look like you've been crying."

"I have... A lot. Why is your hair over your eye?" she asked reaching her hand up and pushing the hair out of the way.

"W-What happened?!" she asked seeing a huge scar there.

"...Nothing don't worry about it."

"Zuko..."

Zuko smiled. "It's nothing to worry about. I'm fine. Wanna go watch a movie together?"

"Only if you promise to tell me what happened after." Katara smiled.

"...Fine." Zuko said grabbing Katara's hand.

PrettyNinjaEmpress: Well...
Zuko: "Well..."
PrettyNinjaEmpress: Stop mocking me!
Zuko: "Blah blah blah."
PrettyNinjaEmpress: Go bother Katara...
