I forgot to put a disclaimer for yesterday so I'll just put it here. ALTA not mine


Date

Anxious... panicked... afraid for his life... yes that's what was. He was afraid for his life.

Was it that time of year already, he wasn't sure though he had a strange feeling that it was. The looks she sent him seemed to be some kind of clue that it was, at least that's what he thought. He knew that if he forgot again he would be in some deep trouble. Last year, when he had forgot their anniversary last year she found a way to publicly humiliated him by tying his arms and legs with leather and making him shout at the top of his lungs that, 'The mighty ruler of the Fire Nation, Fire Lord Zuko, the one who is able to remember every detail of every meeting and every date of all the numerous holidays, has forgotten he and his most beautiful wife, Fire Lady Katara's anniversary.' By he would of been furious, but the intense look in Katara's eye's told him that he should be more afraid that furious. He definitely didn't want something like that to happen again.

No one would tell him when their anniversary was, they were even more scared of Katara than him, the Fire Lord! No matter how much he asked threatened or tried to bribe, no one would take the bait. Well this year he was going to get it right. He went right to the market and bought flowers and chocolates, a new ring and decorations to dress up the garden. It took him a few days but he figured he was right on track. He searched the palace until he found Katara sitting in the library working on a few papers; he gave her a greeting kiss before blindfolding her and stealing her away from her work. He lead her all the way to the garden before she was allowed to take off her blind folds.

When he heard her gasp and saw that she placed a hand over her mouth he smiled assuming he had finally done something right. However, he was thoroughly surprised when Katara started to tear down all the decorations.

"What are you doing? It took me days to put this up!"

Katara stopped cold in the middle of her rampage to turn slowly towards Zuko. She dropped everything she had in her hand and marched over to Zuko until she and Zuko were face to face.

"You remembered an anniversary, but it wasn't OURS!" With that and a poke to the chest she stomped off into the palace.

Zuko slapped his forehead then looked to the mess he was left to clean up. In the distance he heard Katara call out to him, saying that she was getting the rope. Maybe one day he would learn to remember the right date.


Yuppers it's a short one. And no title today. Sorry for the OOCness and Zuko abuse, but eh it floats meh boat. Happy day four!
