Okay, here's what's going on. Zuko and Iroh have joined the Gaang, Iroh is teaching Aang firebending, and Zuko and Katara fight everyday. Why? I'll tell you at the end in the A/N! Oh, and Aang doesn't have a crush on Katara anymore, he likes Toph now, but he doesn't show it in this drabble/oneshot thing.

"Stupid peasant!"
"Pompous prince!"
"Bitch!"
"Bastard!"
They were at it again. Didn't they ever stop arguing?
"I have never heard two people fight as much as these two," said Toph sightlessly watching the firebender and waterbender yell at each other.
"I know! This is the third one today!" Aang agreed.
Sokka stood up suddenly. "I can't take it anymore! I'm going to go hunt for food. I'll be back when these two shut up." The warrior grabbed the nearest weapon and went into the forest.
After ten more minutes of yelling Toph cracked and Zuko and Katara suddenly found themselves encased inside a large, dark earth box. They stopped arguing in shock and heard Toph yell through the stone, "I'll only let you out when you two make up."
Katara was extremely annoyed. She was stuck in a dark earthen box with a stupid, arrogant, pompous, handsome-
Handsome? Where did that come from?
Zuko was extremely annoyed. He was stuck in a dirty earth prison with an annoying peasant. He supposed he could knock a wall down with his bending, but then the ceiling would collapse on him and the beautiful waterbender seated next to him.
Wait a minute, beautiful? Where did that come from?
"Zuko?"
"What?"
"Why do we fight so much?"
"I don't know. Because we hate each other's guts."
"That's what I thought, but then I realized I don't really hate you that much." Zuko was suddenly filled with happiness and hope. He didn't let it show though.
"Why do you even care why we fight?"
"Because Toph said she wouldn't let us out of here until we made up. If we can figure out why we fight so much then we can resolve the issue and get out of this dark place."
"Oh, is someone afraid of the dark?" the prince taunted.
"No," Katara said.
"Then don't complain."
"Katara?"
"What?"
"Ummm…I don't hate you…I actually, kind of, like you."
"I like you too Zuko."
"No, I mean I like you like you."
"I like you like you too."
Zuko lit a flame in his hand so he could see the waterbender.
"You do?"
"I do." She smiled at him. He smiled back, a little mischievously, and put out the flame in his hand.
It was mid-afternoon. Sokka was still hunting, Aang was laying next to Toph on Appa's tail, and Iroh, who had stuffed some of the bison's fur in his ears that morning to drown out the sound of his nephew and Katara arguing, was waking up from a long, peaceful nap.
He looked around camp, pulled the fur out of his ears, and asked the Toph and Aang if they had seen Zuko.
"He's in that earth box with Sugar Queen. I guess I should let them out now," Toph replied.
She got off Appa's tail and lowered the walls of the prison. Aang came up next to her. They both stared (well, Aang stared, Toph just looked in their general direction, but she could see what was going on with her bending) at the pair of benders who seemed to have no idea that they were free.
"I thought you told them they couldn't come out until they made up."
Toph shrugged. "Maybe they misheard me."
A/N: I don't think this drabble thingy is incredible but whatever. Zuko and Katara fight because they are hiding their feelings for each other from each other and themselves. Those of you who are waiting for the next chapter in Cousins, sorry I haven't updated yet, I'm working on it, but I have school and stuff, so I don't have that much time to do it in. Please review!
