Ok, so, I really like how this one turned out and hope you all do too! It's not long, but it makes you think. At least that's what I was aiming for. :) I don't own Avatar, or any of the characters. Just the story plot. Enjoy!

What Fire does to a girl

MURDER

HATE

PAIN

BUT ALSO WARMTH

These where the words that Katara used to describe the word FIRE. Murder was for what the Fire Nation did to her family. Hate was for what fueled the Fire Nation. Pain was for the physical and emotional scars the Fire Nation left on people around the world. But the word Warmth was different. It was meant for survival, for the Water tribe people at least.

The way she saw it was that even though fire was the main source of her pain and suffering, it was the reason she was alive. Fire was considered such a precious thing in the South Pole, even though all of her people would deny it in public. It's what cooked their raw fish, heat water for cleaning tough stains out of clothing, and it was what people used to keep warm, so they wouldn't die of hypothermia. But that's what she believed when she lived in the South Pole.

Katara now reconsidered her beliefs from way back then. She was in her loved ones arms when she released that fire meant more than warmth now. Passion, comfort, and Hope were added to her list of words that described the word fire. Murder still stood there for what happened to her family and many other loved ones and Pain still stood for the scars they left on people. But Hate now stood for what fueled Ozai's plans to rule the world. Warmth, it had a whole new feeling that she just couldn't describe any more.

The word Passion was for the love that guided Katara's life through the hardship of gaining acceptance from others, who did not approve her one true love. Comfort was the way she always felt safe in his arms, no matter how tough the situation was. Hope was what she thought of when she looks into his eyes. Katara believed that he was the worlds hope. He was going to make everything right after the war was over. Just like he always does when she's not feeling well. He is always was good at making things right again.

The fire cracked, which woke Zuko up from his sleep. Katara turned away from the fire and stared into his ember eyes. Nothing was said when they smiled at each other. Yes, he is going to make everything alright. Katara was going to make sure of that. Katara thought about what she had added to her list on describing the word fire. Yes, she was satisfied with those words. They really describe what the word fire means to her. Just like a flame, Zuko will always change and change things for the better of the world.

Zuko gently took Katara's chin and guided her over to him, kissing her square on the lips. Katara was caught in the middle of fire, but that's the way she liked it. She changed her mind about fire when she first fell in love with Zuko, but that's what fire does to a girl. It makes you wonder if fire is really that bad as people say it is.

PASSION

COMFORT

AND HOPE.
