Katara's road on a Buffalo-yak which is a large, gray and white animal that has four muscular legs that end in hooves. Its head is crowned with a pair of horns that emerge sideways from the forehead and then curve backward. The creature's body ends in a small, furry tail. Its shaggy fur or hair is gray on its back while white in a patch around its eyes, on its neck and its underbelly. Dressed in a dark blue coat. Her pants are pale blue and she has khaki coloured boots. She wears yellow goggles with a blue shirt underneath. On the sides of her Buffalo-yak was a bag with few pieces of her wardrobe. She was traveling through the Southern Water Tribe to the Northern Water Tribe to make her way through the Earth Kingdom, to the Fire Nation. She was one of the chosen few, by Lady Ursa herself, to be a choice of Fire Lord Zuko's possible wife. Katara at first politely declined the offer, which was until her father said it was her duty and honour to be one of the selected few. Since there was no longer a princess of the Northern Water Tribe, its sister tribe had to take its place. Katara didn't think of Zuko more than a friend, she didn't get the point of even having such a ridiculous competition, and he's going to naturally choose Mai so why bother? Mai was the one chosen to represent the Fire Nation, a girl named Jin, who previously went on a date with Zuko before, was chosen from the Earth Kingdom and her, Katara representing the two Water Tribes. She didn't get to change into different clothes after the long travel.
"Here we are Peg, the Fire Nation." Katara told Peg. Peg started galloping faster towards the palace.
"Mother, what is the point of inviting these girls?" Fire Lord Zuko asked, as he put his crown in his top knot. Lady Ursa just simply smiled.
"Zuko, I chose some very nice woman that I'd think you'd enjoy."
"But, you and I both know that'll I just will choose Mai," Zuko said. "Why make those other women take such a trip."
"Zuko, does Mai make your palms all sweaty." Lady Ursa asked. Zuko nodded.
"Yeah, when she has her knives."
"Do you get angry when other men try to court her?"
"No, not really."
"Would you jump in front of a lightning bolt for her?" Lady Ursa asked.
"No, she can handle herself-hey wait don't tell me this is about Katara again." Zuko said. Lady Ursa simply smiled.
"Why don't you ever give her a chance?" Lady Ursa asked, having liked the water bender as her daughter-in-law.
"Because, she's just a friend, and nothing more." Zuko explained.
"Ursa, did you by any chance invite Miss Katara?" Iroh asked. Lady Ursa giggled and nodded. She and Iroh was waiting on the girls to arrive.
"You think Zuko will actually choose her?"
"I hope he does."
"Then why invite Mai as a candidate?"
"Just trust me Iroh, dear friend." Jin came to the door. She bowed to Lady Ursa and Iroh. Servants hurriedly took her bags.
"I'm going to look for Lee!" Jin said, as she hurried away. Lady Ursa and Iroh look at each other.
"Why does she still insist on calling him that?" Lady Ursa asked. Iroh just gave a grin and shrugged. Lady Mai was next to arrive. She bowed to Lady Ursa and let the servants take her stuff.
"Hurry up!" Mai ordered them. "I have to look good for the Fire Lord you peasants." Lady Ursa shook her head.
Katara walked into the palace.
"Lady Katara, it's been too long!" Iroh said joyfully. Katara giggled and gave the man a hug. Instead of bowing to Lady Ursa, Katara jumped into her arms and hugged her like she was a friend.
"Oh Lady Ursa, you have gotten even more gorgeous then last time." Katara complimented her. Lady Ursa laughed.
"Thank you dear, you have also gotten more beautiful," Lady Ursa said, embracing Katara into another hug. "Thank you for doing this for me."
The servants hurried to take Katara's luggage.
"It's ok, just where is my room?" Katara asked. "I'll do it myself." The servants showed her to her room.
"Such a polite child." Lady Ursa said.
Katara struggled with trying to get her hair perfect.
"Why am I trying so hard to impress Zuko?" Katara asked herself. She had been trying to straighten her hair but with no luck. Katara braided her hair. She decided to leave her hair like that for a while as she worked on her dress. Katara finished her dress. It was a dress that is a blue midriff top with a long skirt of the same colour. She wears blue wedges and pale blue sleeves on her arms. A darker blue belt circles her waist and string of the same colour is on her sleeves. Katara felt a bit insecure. The other girls and guest most have had bags filled with beautiful clothing and dress. And all she had was a few of her best outfits and materials to make some just in case. Katara put on light blue make up and she decided to do something a bit different, she put on red lipstick. She smiled at herself, how well her blue shadow complimented her fiery red lipstick. She took her hair out of her braid, making it unruffled into curls and put on her mother's necklace. Katara decided she wanted to play fancy. She took out her blue sparkly compact mirror that had a crescent moon on it. Katara played with her hair a bit and then giggled.
The party had already started and they were announcing each woman from their nation. "From the Earth Kingdom!" The squire said.
"Please don't be Toph, please don't be Toph!" Zuko thought, not wanting to be under the young benders control or abuse of sudden rock slides. And her turning his garden into a wrestling area.
"Presenting Lady Jin!" Jin came down giggling in a green gown with pink lining, ruffles and laces. She wears a green headband, and green heels. Zuko gapped.
"Jin, I didn't know you were a noble?" Zuko said. Jin just giggled. Zuko found that annoying and pointless. He never truly understood why girls giggled or weared a lot of pink and he hated when they played damsel in distress.
"It's complicated Lee." Jin said walking away, trying to sway her hips from side to side, while really she looked like an elephant. And why did she insist on calling him that?
"One of the choices will be a little late; she's still making her dress." The squire shouted, as a servant whispered what to say. The court room giggled. This girl Lady Ursa picked must be poor.
"From the Fire Nation, Lady Mai!"
Mai was wearing a pair of wide-legged pants in a black color with red trimming at the end. Her shirt is inverted of these colors, with it a red, flowy shirt with large dangly cuffs, belted at the waist with a dark red and gold belt, with the cuffs and hem of the shirt being trimmed in black. Her headdress is a red collar connected to the shirt with a red inside. Zuko immediately went to Mai and took her hand to dance.
"I can't believe your mother invited such poor choices, doesn't she know it's pointless, that you're going to choose me." Mai said, as she and Zuko danced. Zuko laughed.
"Don't worry Mai, I'm not interested in a girl like Jin, and the other one disrespected me by coming late," Zuko said. "Who does she think she is?"
"Representing the Southern and Northern Water Tribe, Princess Katara!"
