"Aang, we need to stop for supplies soon." Katara called out, over the wind. The group was out over the Earth Kingdom on Appa. Momo was sitting on Sokka and Toph was lying down right in the middle of the walkway. "I don't know Katara, Zuko has been following us and it might not be safe to land." Aang called back. Katara looks down. "If I quickly did some shopping and you stayed in that cave down their, I should be back with in two or three minutes. All we need is some food." Katara says as she looks up. Aang just nods. As Appa lands, Toph jumps up and screams "LAND!!!!!!" Sokka woke up and said "Where's the fire?" stupidly. Katara jumps out and grabbed her money bag. They had 22 silver coins. That was just enough. "Back in a moment!" Katara yelled as she begins to run towards the market.
Zuko looks around the market with his uncle, looking for some more Jasmine tea.
"We don't NEED any more tea!!!!" he yells for the tenth thousand time. But Iroh still looked for his tea. "OUPH!! Sorry." Zuko heard someone say as they bump into him. Katara picked herself up and ran towards the next stall. Zuko, on the other hand, just stood there staring. 'Zuko, Zuuuuukoooo? Are you listening?" Iroh waved his hand in front of his face. "Hm? What is it Uncle?" "You seem….distant, nephew." Iroh responded. "No, just thinking about my childhood." "Again?" "Not that my scar, earlier then that."
*Flashback*
"Prince Zuko," Iroh called him "Your father wants to see you." Zuko runs to the throne room, to find the leader of the Southern Water Nation, his wife and two children. "Prince Zuko." "Father." Zuko responded with a bow. "This is Chief Hakoda, his wife Kya and his children. His children will be staying for a study on how royalty lives in the fire nation. They will be your and Azula's responsibility. You will show them how you act on your daily routine with Azula, and at the same time, you will be learning about the water nation." With that, Katara and Sokka stood up and bowed to Zuko. When they stood the Fire Lord told them to go. As soon as they were outside Sokka started to complain. "How can you leave in this heat?? Why is everyone so strict??
Why-" "SHUT UP SOKKA!!!!" Katara yelled. "Is he always this annoying?" Zuko asked. "Yes. I am Katara. You are?" "Zuko."
*End of flashback.*
"I know her Uncle. She was the girl who was studying the fire nation nine years ago." "I wonder how long it would take for you to realize that." Iroh replied. "How long have you known that?!?!" "About three years." But Zuko wasn't listening, he was to busy thinking what his father told him two days before Katara left.
*Flashback*
"Chief Hakoda has decided to have a peace offering between our nations. When you are old enough, you will marry Princess Katara."
*End of flashback.*
AN: Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar: The Last Air Bender. This is my first ATLAB fic. And I am doing four other fics at the same time, (I like to keep busy.) so I might be a bit long with writing more chapts. Also, I won't put another chapter up UNTIL I get at LEAST 5 reviews. Okay? Good. M.U.C.
