Disclaimer: Honestly I hate this. I don't own Avatar. I wish I did. I also don't own the song "Something There" it belongs to Disney, as does half the world.
Author's Note: The different POVs are like entries in the respective person's journal.
Katara's POV
We've been traveling with Zuko and his uncle Iroh, for almost a week, and let me tell you Zuko is so different then I thought he would be. When he was chasing us he seemed like a spoiled prince. A spoiled, banished prince, with an ugly personality and an even uglier temper. Honestly his scar doesn't really bother me, I don't know how he got it, but it looks like it hurt.
I've really gotten to know Zuko, the real Zuko. The side of him he hides from the rest of the world. We spend a lot of time together, which is nice, because even though our elements are opposites, we have very similar personalities. True I'm not as hot-headed as he is and he's not very soothing, unless he wants to be, but still, I like the real Zuko.
I should really stop day dreaming about Zuko and put my journal away. But before I go practice my bending again, I have to write about what happened yesterday. I was practicing my bending when I felt the air around me getting warmer, signaling Zuko's approach, I looked at him as he came through the bushes with Aang, they were discussing some fire bending move.
'There's something sweet
And almost kind
But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined
And now he's dear
And so I'm sure
I wonder why I didn't see it there before'
Zuko's POV
Okay I'll admit it traveling with the Avatar and his friends isn't as bad as I'd privately thought. That blind girl Toph is probably the worst, that girl has no tact! I wish she would lay off about my scar. Katara is well Katara. I don't know how to describe it; she makes me feel like I did when my mom was still around.
Honestly I don't have that much experience with girls, but the ones I have been around are usually revolted by my scar. But Katara, Katara didn't seem to notice or care. Like yesterday I caught her staring at me. I just smiled and winked at her. And the other day she didn't shudder when I helped her off of Appa. Actually she's looking at me right now; I'll just smile back and see if I can get her to blush.
'She glanced this way
I thought I saw
And when we touched she didn't shudder at my paw
No it can't be
I'll just ignore
But then she's never looked at me that way before'
Katara's POV
Later that Same Day
Okay I'm back I was interrupted by Sokka; he got another fish hook stuck in his finger. Anyway back to what happened. He caught me staring at him, and he smiled and winked back at me. I just blushed and looked away. I can't really describe it but when he smiled at me, my heart started beating a little bit faster, my palms started sweating and it felt like we were the only two people in the world.
I've never felt this way about anyone before. And although he has the title of Prince, he sometimes doesn't act the way they do in fairy tales. Like he's constantly fighting with Sokka and Toph, but then again so am I, but still it's the principle of the thing. I know that I've said this once already, and this isn't the last that I'll say this either, but Zuko is so different than I ever imagined. Who would've guessed that Zuko even had this side to him? Good thing that this is a private journal, because I wouldn't want anyone, especially Zuko, to know that I kind of like this side.
'New and bit alarming
Who'd have ever thought that this could be?
True that he's no Prince Charming
But there's something in him that I simply didn't see'
Iroh's POV
Good, the plan to get Prince Zuko and Miss Katara together is working exactly the way it's supposed to. Just the other day I saw Prince Zuko help Miss Katara off of Appa, in fact they held on a little bit longer than was really necessary. I see them smile and blush quite often around camp. It's good to see that I haven't lost my touch. Although, I really can't take all the credit, I do get help some help from Avatar Aang and Miss Toph. They're very helpful in getting Prince Zuko and Miss Katara alone together away from Sokka. Although, even Sokka helps but his help is unintentional. I like the direction their friendship is headed, it's good because Prince Zuko deserves a little happiness, and I think Miss Katara does too. It's good to see two young people in love that are completely oblivious to the fact.
'Well, who'd have though?
Well, bless my soul
Well, who'd have known?
Well, who indeed?
And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?
It's so peculiar. Wait and see.
We'll wait and see
A few days more
There may be something there that wasn't there before
You know, perhaps there's something there that wasn't there before
There may be something there that wasn't there before.'
