(A/N): I decided that I want to make a zutara story that goes with what I'm feeling in my life right now (boo!) So this story couldn't happen without having my best friend (who is a guy) and I give my thanks to him for it! Enjoy!
….
This craziness was all caused by him. Katara just didn't understand what he was doing to her! He wasn't supposed to make her like him! She knew that he was going to be with Mai. Or supposed to be. Once they became friends and had trust after the incident with the southern raider, she started to find out more and more about him. Then finding they out that they have more and more in common. That made Katara like him Even more! She had to figure a way out of this. He couldn't possibly like her. Right? She couldn't even handle that idea. Katara was supposed to be in love with Aang, and Zuko being in love with Mai. That's how the story always goes! But maybe that's just not how they wanted it to happen.
Katara new that Aang was 12 and extremely in love with her. Now that just made things worse. She felt guilty for having to keep him thinking that she liked him. But she never knew how to let him down. After about five months she couldn't handle her guilty conscious anymore. After dinner Katara finally managed to pull Aang aside and tell him the truth. "Hey katara, is something wrong?" Aang asked. "No… Yes… Well kinda.. Listen Aang, we oth know that you have feelings for me" Both of them had a light blush on their cheeks. Aang was trying to say something back quickly but just ended up stuttering over each word. "Listen Aang, I'm just trying to say that I can't return those feelings. I'm 14 and your only 12. If anything you're like a little brother to me. I love you, just not I-in t-that way…" Katara could barely get the last part out. "Oh.. Ok. I see" Aang replied quite sullenly. Katara felt that the only way to make him not sad is comfort him. "Listen Aang, I know you must be upset but let me give you a hint. There is a certain blind girl that could maybe have a crush on you" She said with a smirk. "Now don't be sad and go hang out with her!" Aang looked back at the group campfire where they were setting up their sleeping areas, then, looking back at Katara gave her a big hug and said thanks. Katara quickly hugged him back. They both walked back and then started getting ready for sleep.

THE NEXT DAY
"Ahhh… A girl can get used to this" Katara thought to herself. Currently she was located in a hot spring a little bit a way's from the group campsite. She told everyone she was going to do a little exploring. The group just stated mmmkay for their most care. She wanted to find a relaxing place for the day while it was Toph's turn to train Aang for the day. She could feel all her worries washing away. She felt like getting her hair wet and dunked herself underwater and did a few flips and twirls. When she re-emerged she sat back in place and kept her eyes closed. She then suddenly jumped to hear a husky voice clearing their throat
