I don't own ATLA. Please Review.

Zuko stood in his new room. The room that once belonged to his father. Zuko was currently struggling to get on his bathrobe. Zuko in his room, the room that once belonged to his father, standing near the windows as the morning sunlight streams in. He puts on his outer robe. Zuko with a bandaged torso moans and struggles to put his arm through the robe's sleeve.

"Need any help?" said a voice from the door way. Zuko looks up surprised to see a dark skinned woman with long flowing hair leaning against the doorway.

"Katara?" Zuko asked, wondering what she was doing in here. Katara walks behind Zuko and lifts up his empty robe sleeve. Zuko puts his arms through the sleeve as she proceeds to fasten his robe. "Feeling any better?" she asked, wrapping her arms around his neck. Zuko looked at her strangely, since when have she been so touchy with him?

Katara started creasing his scar. Zuko cringed, why was she touching his scar, again.

"What's wrong baby?" asked Katara.

"Baby?" Katara giggled.

"Yes, I want to tell everyone about us now." Katara said, while tracing her finger over the scar on his chest. Zuko shook her hands off.

"Katara, what's wrong with you?" Katara frowned.

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you?"

"Katara, do you realise you called me "Baby"

"Oh, so that is what this is all about," Katara giggled rewrapping her arms around his neck "If you don't like baby, I can call you something else love."

"Katara, tell me what do you remember?"

"I remember that you and I are together, we've been keeping it secret but now since the war is over I want to tell the world that I'm in love with you Zuko."

Zuko gapped, what the heck happened to her? Then he remembered that Azula made one last attempt at them and hit Katara with one of her chains, that must have done it. Oh no, Katara must think that she's in love with him from the impact of that hit. Zuko gulped, how is he going to explain this to Mai.

"What's wrong?" Katara asked, wondering why her boyfriend was acting so strangely.

"Oh nothing." said Zuko.

"So Zuko, what are you going to do about this?" asked an angry Mai, mad at her boyfriend or soon to be ex-boyfriend for going along with this. Zuko sighed. He just explained to his uncle, Mai, Toph, a weeping Sokka who was crying saying something about his baby sister got her whole future stolen from her, Suki and Ty Lee his now their dilemma.

"What can I do Mai?" Zuko asked "She is already trying to pick out names since she thinks I don't like to be called baby anymore?" The group, minus Mai giggled.

"This is not funny!"

"Actually it is Sparky, Sugar Queen has it bad for you!" Toph said.

"Nephew, Lady Katara is suddenly under the impression that you too are together, yes." Iroh asked his troubled nephew. Zuko nodded.

"And you decided to go along with her fantasies!" Mai shouted, interrupting Iroh.

"I just wanted to help her,"

"Then tell her the truth!"

"Don't you think I haven't tried that Mai?"

"Then tell me, what that display you both gave earlier today was!"

Flashback.

Cheers and applause rang through the courtyard as the sage slid the piece behind Zuko's topknot. Zuko stood up and smiled widely, bowing slightly to the people.

"I'm honoured to become the new Fire Lord," Zuko said as the courtyard quieted down. "But, let me introduce you to the real hero's."

"The Avatar!" Applause rang even harder when the Avatar stepped up.

"Toph, the greatest Earth Bender ever!" Toph gave a grin as she bowed.

"Suki, leader of the Koyshi Warriors." Suki, all in painted glory stepped up as well.

"Warrior Sokka, of the Southern Water Tribe!" Sokka, being Sokka stepped up with hands clasped together whooping and hollering for himself as if he was the only one who stopped the war.

"And Lady Katara, Master Water Bender, teacher of the Avatar and…"

"The love of HIS life!" Katara interrupted, as she stepped up to Zuko giving him a kiss on the cheek while putting her hand into his. The crowd gasped. Sokka nearly fainted. Mai, from in the crowd fumed. Aang, well Aang did what he knew best, he ran away.

"This is an outrage!"

"How can a peasant like that get the Fire Lord?"

"What happened to Lady Mai?"

"He must have gotten her pregnant."

"I bet she seduced him!" Zuko, angered by the nasty, vulgar things being shouted about Katara and her honour decided to give everyone a little . He took Katara into his arms and dipped her down low, passionately kissing her, she quickly responded as she threw her hands around his neck, kissing back with the same force. The crowd gasped and cheered. If this Water Tribe girl is able to make their new Fire Lord happy, they will just have to learn to accept her. Everyone was happy except for one person.

End of Flashback.

"So just because the Water Tribe girl is a klutz, you feel the need to defend her honour by pulling what you did today!" Mai said.

"Mai, please."

"No Zuko." Mai said, as she ran out the palace with Ty Lee trying to follow her. Today was a rough day for Zuko indeed.
