I deleted the first chapter because I believe it was a bit badly written and gave too much of the story away. I didn't change too much of this chapter, so hope you still enjoy it.

Ahhh, Yes! It was a beautiful day on February 21, 2005. Everyone gathered in their homes to watch the premiere of the new television series Avatar: The Last Airbender (or Avatar: The Legend of Aang depending). People of different ages, shapes, sizes, and cultures all over the world cuddled in their homes, anxiously awaiting the premier of the new series. When it finally starts it's as if the whole world went mute, nobody wanted to miss a single line of the show. They all watched quietly. As the show progressed and everyone sees the first signs of Aang's growing crush on a certain waterbender, some people thought 'aww' or 'eww' or even 'who cares about his stupid little crush, where's the fighting?'.

As the show progresses and Aang teaches Katara what it means to just sit back and have fun, the Kataang ship is born. Kataang so far has no rivals except for the few who like incest and shipped katokka. Yep, Kataang was completely in the clear, no competition at all, that is, until a certain firebender's ship pulled up onto the shore of the southern watertribe. People's minds started racing with ideas as Zuko walked towards Katara and they momentarily locked eyes before he reached out and roughly pulled back her grandmother. Of course, that's no way to meet your future lover but it has been claimed that there was something there that was only seen by a few people; a spark perhaps? But now, Zutara is a mere fetus in its mother's womb, not yet completely formed and not yet born, but it's still there. Even so, Zutara is not yet any potential threat to Kataang and is now just a crack ship. But, it is soon to be one of the greatest threats Kataang has ever known.

After the premier, everyone grabs their pencils and laptops and gets to work on their fanbase. Kataangers all over the world draw and write to upload pictures and stories of the new ship on the internet, therefore building up what is now known as Ship Kataang. The Kataang ship happily sails across the sea, no cares in the world, no threats or obstacles ahead, except of course, the little sail boat of Zutara, but what threat does that oppose to the mighty ship of Kataang?

The Kataang ship only keeps growing, after Katara comforted Aang when he went into the Avatar state at the western air temple. Kataang is OBVIOUSLY one-sided, but "The Warriors of Kyoshi", episode 4, also opens the possibility that Katara may like Aang, even if just a little. Although, he IS the only boy she's seen in years her age besides her brother since all the other men went off to war, so it could be a little thing she'll get over once she starts meeting new guys, right?

Now the Warriors of Kyoshi was not only an opening for Kataang but also the birth of a new ship… Sukka. Sukka developed quickly, but it did develop. Sukka, although quickly, developed from hate, to tollerance, to like, and will later develop into something more. But for now, Sukka is a small ship, but still the second biggest ship on the show. As we go on, past the King of Omashu where we meet Aang's old friend Bumi, we progress into episode 6, "Imprisoned". This episode is also the birthplace of a brand new ship. This ship is Harutara. Harutara is more of friendship than a romance, but it does have romantic possibility. Haru, most likely does have a crush on Katara, she DID save himself and his father. She is a strong and beautiful woman in his eyes and therefore, is crush worthy for him. But, as "Imprisoned was the birthplace of Harutara, it was also the full development of Zutara. Zutara is fully developed and ready to be born for on the same ship Haru and Katara were on, is also where Zuko found Katara's necklace. This may seem like nothing to you, but Zutarians argue that betrothal necklaces are very common in the Southern Watertribe so for him to find that necklace and identify it as hers, he had to be paying, quite a bit of attention to her.

Now, Ship Kataang finally has a little competition, although it is not ship Harutara, that is merely something Kataangers THINK they need to keep their eye on, but the real threat is the slowly developing and gradually growing Ship Zutara, which is soon to be their biggest threat yet.

The Winter Solstice episodes are mainly all about the avatar state, the avatar cycle, the comet, and Aang's duty as the Avatar. Then we get to "the Waterbending Scroll". AND ZUTARA IS FINALLY BORN! Yes, Zutara is born with the famous Academy Award Winning line "I'll save you from the pirates.", and with Zuko trying to somewhat seduce Katara into telling him where Aang is, whispering in her ear, while also bribing her with her necklace, and dangling it in front making it look like he was proposing to her to anyone who didn't know what was going on. During this episode, every Zutarian screamed at the same time for they were finally able to assure themselves that they were not crazy, and that there was indeed something there. On the day of April 29, 2005, many people converted to Zutara, many pictures were drawn, many fanfics were written, and many Kataangers were angered. And Zutara, grew into a mighty ship. In one day, almost 33 percent of the fanbase was pro Zutara, and Kataang finally had an opponent worthy of their gunfire. This day marks the start of The Great War of Avatar.

AND THE WAR BEGINS!
