At school…Chameleon Bay High

Zuko got off his motorcycle and went straight to his locker. He had on a black tee that said the boy in black is BACK with the blue spirits face on it, some baggy blue jeans, his hair cut low (like in Zuko Alone), an earring in his right ear, and his white sneakers. He looked good. As he walked down the hallway he stopped by his friends' locker Katara and Sokka. They had just got there when he came up.

Katara was wearing a blue and white baseball cap with a 'K' on it, a baby blue tee with a snowflake and drop of water on her shirt, a matching purse, skin tight blue jeans with embroider print on the back pocket and white sneakers with three blue stripes on the sides. Sokka just had a white tee with the snow leopards name graffiti on it and a blue cap and white shoes.

Zuko and Katara both had karate together while Sokka went to Spanish. Katara was a 1st degree black belt while Zuko was a 2nd, but they chose to be partners anyway.

"Good mornin' students." Sifu Kuzon said.

"Mornin'" the students replied.

"Today I want you to spar with your partners, and then in the last 20 minutes of class we will take our level tests. Ok get to work people! " Kuzon shouted.

"So Katara, are you gonna take the test?" Zuko asked as he kicked out.

"Yea I wanna be on your level that way we can spar more…" Katara said as she blocked a fist and did a round house kick knocking Zuko on his butt.

"Good job Katara!" Kuzon said as he surveyed their fighting, they were the best in the class. "So times up who wants to take the test?"

"I will" a boy named Haru said.

"Ok perform the snake kata. NOW!" Kuzon shouted

Haru started out great but when he had to break two boards, it was no joke. Haru started the motions he looked as if he was going to seriously do it…but hit the board and everything stopped. Then he dropped to the ground in pain clutching his hand. As he was carried off to the nurse, Katara volunteered to go next.

"Ok Katara your up. You may begin." Kuzon stated. "Please perform the dragon Kata."

Katara was doing great. Every move was precise and fluent it had no flaws when she had to spar to Kuzon it was over in a matter of minutes she one hands down. Then came the hard part. Katara had to break three boards. She started the motions and all of a sudden she jumped up a kicked out splitting the boards down the middle as she finished her sequence. A minute later the bell rang and everyone left the gym with Zuko and Katara trailing.

"Tara that was awesome. You are now on my level." Zuko said as he bowed to her as a sign of respect.

"Thanks Prince." Katara giggled and bowed back.

The day went by super fast. At dismissal Zuko and Katara and Sokka rode to Zuko's uncle's house. They were all doing homework when someone phone rang to the beat of Stronger by Kanye West. Sokka knew it was his so he looked at the name and it was Suki, he quickly answered it. He turned away from the other two and started to speak.

"Hey Suki baby. Wazzup?" The champion Speed skater asked.

By the way the conversation was hurriedly over Zuko and Katara suspected something bad happened because Sokka started packing his books in a rush.

"Sokka, where are you going?" Katara said getting up to follow her brother.

Sokka stopped walking and turned back to his sister.

" Kat stay here with Zuko I'm going to Suki's house to pick her up cause her dad has been drinking and beating on her and her mom again…" he was cut off.

"Sokka, I'm coming with you. She may be you girlfriend but she is my best friend too." She pressed.

"Kat, no you're not coming. Suki's dad is dangerous when he's like this, ok. Stay with Zuko tonight cause Suki is gonna stay with me. Zuko is going to be with you ok. Zuko can she stay with you tonight?" Sokka explained and asked.

"Yea chief, she can chill out here." Zuko replied.

"Ok fine, I'll stay but call me when you get to our house." Katara said hugging her brother.

After Sokka dashed out of the house, Katara went to sit on the couch homework forgotten and pulled her knees to her chest and put her head down. Zuko did not like to see his best friend depressed in any way so he went to comfort her. He sat in the couch and pulled her small form onto his lap and hugged her until she stopped crying he even teared a little. He had only known Suki for a little over a year, but he knew the pain of having an alcoholic abusive parent. That's why he's living with his uncle. He told his sister to come but she said she wanted to stay and help their dad get better…she died a year later when their set the house on fire.

An hour later everything calmed down and they finished their homework and dinner and decided to watch TV. Basically the same routine whenever they spent the night at each others house. After watching a lot of TV and music videos and dancing Katara started to doze off so Zuko carried her upstairs and laid her on his bed while he sat on the floor thinking about the situation at hand and started to doze too. So he climbed into the other side of the bed and went to sleep.

Wow that took a long time to write I had writers block for a while when I started to right this.

Next chapter is gonna be Zuko and Katara's dream.

Just to clarify. In the dream Katara and Zuko are sharing the same exact dream. Like they were transported to another dimension.

Well R'n'R
