I turned to see Zuko thrown in the cave-like prison with me. I gaped in surprise. The crowned Prince? Why was he here? I glared at him hiding my feelings well. I smirked when he stumbled upright.

I watched his every move. He blinked when he saw me.

" What are you doing here?" I snapped angrily at him and rather meanly. He looked at me and after a slight pause answered me.

" I was arrested by the Dai Le while trying to attack my sister, Azula," he said finally. At once I felt sorry for him. Then I remembered that it could be one of his tricks. Sure he was hot but that didn't mean anything. He was the Prince I was a commoner. It didn't matter anyway because we were from different nations. I'm sure he has plenty of girls who would fall head over heels for him back in the Fire nation but not me. I won't fall for his golden eyes, his black hair and calm voice. I will show no feeling toward the banished Prince. Why should I care anyway?

" Azula is a nasty person and so is your father. How dare you come in here and act like it is all perfectly okay. You've tracked us all over the world and try to kill Aang. He's the last Airbender. If we lose him we break the Avatar cycle and that would mean no more peace in this world. Do you want that Zuko? Do you really want us all to die and be under war?," I asked.

" My father is a mean person and so is my sister but they're my family. Our nation is the greatest in the world. This war is our way of sharing our greatness with the rest of the world," Zuko argued. My jaw dropped open in shock.

" Their way of sharing their greatness with the world? Are you crazy the world is dying because of your nation! You're the Prince you are supposed to help heal the world. How can you sit back and watch it be destroyed? Zuko you could stop this war even if it is our nation's fault. Don't hurt my people or the people of the Earth Kingdom. Please don't it isn't their fault they didn't ever do anything wrong," I tried to make him understand.

" You wouldn't understand. You're just a Water Tribe peasant," he said.

" I might be but I know more about this war than you do. You haven't seen the suffering, pain and damage this war is causing. I love my people and if you love yours as much as I do you will stop hurting them. They look up to their rulers and if you can't trust them how will they trust you? I love my people and I want their hurting to stop. The only way for their suffering to end is with love and peace," I said calmly.

" I do care for my people. But they aren't my people. I am a banished Prince I have no say in what my father does to destroy the four nations," Zuko said his eyes searching the cave.

" Zuko you would stop hunting the Avatar wouldn't you?" I gazed at him trying to see if he would let Aang go.

" No, I can't. The Avatar is the only way for me to restore my honor," Zuko replied staring intently at the ceiling.

" I don't understand-"

" No you don't my father won't let me back into the Fire nation. Not until I have the Avatar."

" Do you know who I am?" I asked finally.

" You're Katara and you're from the Southern Tribe aren't you?"

" Yes why?"

" Because you have beautiful eyes," Zuko said. That was not the answer I expected.

" What!" I asked in surprise.

" Come on Katara it isn't like you don't like me. You know-"

" Okay maybe I do ," I admitted.

He stepped forward. I stiffened. He kissed me. I almost screamed because just as he kissed me the wall smashed to bits. I jumped back.
