Prince Zuko's Diary… WHERE'D IT GO?
Damn… I forgot the page breakers and disclaimer… well, if it makes it any easier for you guys, I'll add the page breakers in with the SAME chapter (meaning if you already read the first don't bother reading it again).
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender or any related customs, logos, blah, blah, blah.

Katara lounged in the bushes. She wasn't trying to spy on the two Fire Nation guards; but she was having PLENTY of fun in doing so.
They were currently talking about Prince Zuko. Katara found that subject very interesting, because her friend had never liked talking about himself much, and, more importantly, because she'd always had a slight crush on him.
"Did you hear the news?" one of the guards was saying.
"Naw…" said the other.
"About Prince Zuko?"
"Naw…"
"About his love life?" Katara could have sworn she started to tremble.
"Naw…" Katara wanted to smack the guard. Just ask him what he wants to say already!
"About the waterbender?"
"Naw…"
"Well, news is he likes the one waterbender…"
"Naw…"
"The one that's friends with the Avatar…"
"NAW."
"The one named… ah… Katrina… Kat-ay-rah… Katina… Katra… Kat…"
"Naw…"
"Yeah."
"Naw way."
"Yes way."
"Naw."
"Yeah."
"NAW."
"Just… shut up."
"Naw…"
The other guard (the one that had a vocabulary that consisted of more than one word) turned on his heel and walked off. The second scratched his head and walked after him.
Katara smiled. Wait until she told Aang and Sokka!

Katara walked up to Appa and jumped into his saddle, where the two boys were looking at something in Aang's lap. Sokka was giggling girlishly like he always did when he was doing something bad and Aang had a huge grin on his face, pointing to whatever it was in his lap.
"Guess what?" Katara asked. The boys spun around to face her, and Aang put the something he'd been holding behind his back.
"What?" they said in unision.
"Zuko loves me!"
"Really? Did you read his diary too?" Aang asked. Sokka elbowed him forcefully and coughed.
"Read his… read his diary?"
Aang blushed slightly and pulled out a book from behind his back. "Here, read," he said, opening the little red book to a certain page and holding it out to Katara. She hesitated, then took it.
It read:
Dear Diary,
I am in love with the most wonderful Waterbender! She is perfect for me, and only two years younger than I as well! Though she has the most obnoxious brother who likes to eat.
To be totally honest, I sometimes think… well, dirty thoughts about her.
Katara blinked. "I still can't believe you stole Zuko's diary," she said, closing it and looking up at the two boys, who were smiling sheepishly.
Of course, now would be the time that Zuko walked up. "Stole my what?" he asked.
Katara looked at Zuko. Zuko looked at Katara. Katara looked at diary. Zuko looked at diary. Zuko looked reaaally mad.
"You went in my room?" he asked, snatching the book from Katara. "I can't believe you, Katara," he said in disgust, then stalked off to the Fire Nation camp.
After four minutes of silence Katara turned to Aang and Sokka, grabbed their sleeves and drug them in the direction of Zuko's camp.
"Hey! Hey! Where're we going?" Sokka asked, struggling against his sister.
"To apologize," she responded simply.
>>>>
Katara knocked on Zuko's door, and after a minute it opened.
"What?" the prince stated flatly.
"I came to… uhm… apologize… for stealing your diary… it was these two goons that took it in the first place, anyway," she jabbed a thumb to Aang and Sokka, who were looking very embarrassed.
He paused, then said, "I really don't care."
Katara blinked. "What?"
"I don't care that you stole the diary, but I will be honest—I'm pretty irritated that they would go into my room."
"You don't care that they stole your diary?"
"Who said it was my diary?"
Katara blinked again. "What?"
At that moment Iroh walked up, nodded a hello to the four teens, turned to his nephew, and said, "Have you seen my diary?"

End.
There we go, complete with page breakers and disclaimer. Hope you liked it, all you first-time readers!
