A/N: Ok, I thought of this the other night and I just had to write it up for y'all! It's a little oneshot of the Avatar cast Christmas Party and what happens there...you'll have to read it to find out what the "mishap" is...


It was Christmas Eve at Nick Studios, and the Avatar cast was throwing a party...

Katara grinned across the room at Aang, her arm brushing against the white feathers that lined the top of her dress as she waved to him and Toph. Sokka and Yue came up beside of her, grinning as they stood arm-in-arm.

"Here, want some punch?" Yue asked, handing her a glass of juice the same scarlet red as her dress. She smiled, nodding.

"Thanks." She took a sip, looking around. Everyone was here...Jin and Song, Tao, GranGran and Paku, Jet and the Freedom Fighters, Haru, Suki (who was amiably sharing Sokka with Yue)...Even Zuko and Iroh had made it. They all seemed to be having a good time, singing carols to the band and eating delicious Christmas cookies...

But Katara noticed one person not enjoying the festivities...a sulky, dark haired young man sitting in the corner. She frowned slightly, taking another drink of her punch, as she felt another's pereence behind her.

"Hey Katara..." Jet whispered in her ear, a sly grin on his face. "Wanna dance?"

Katara resisted the urge to slap him with a water whip (or punch whip, in this case). "No thanks, Jet, I'm a bit tired at the moment...maybe later."

He frowned. "Fine..." She grinned smugly as he wandered off, sulking, back to Smellerbee and Longshot. Feeling a bit devilish, Katara made her way across the room to where Iroh and Haru were talking amiably.

"Hello, Miss Katara." Iroh grinned, the first to notice the waterbender. Haru turned around, blushing slightly as Katara hugged him. She smiled as she stood back, looking to the old general.

"What's Zuko so upset about?" She asked casually, glancing to where he still sat, sulking in the corner. "I haven't seen him move, and I'm suprised he and Sokka haven't got into a fight yet."

"Yeah, I did notice he hasn't said a word to anyone..." Haru shrugged.

"I had to force him to come, I'm afraid." Iroh sighed. "He's angry with me for it, and has resolved himself to solitude."

"Well, maybe we can change that." Katara tried to hide the devilish grin from Haru, wondering in the back of her mind if Sokka happened to lace her punch with cactus juice...

She suddenly found herself standing next to Zuko, pulling the red Santa hat from her head and placing it crookedly onto his. He started to send her a glare, but she leaned over and planted a kiss on his cheek...which was rapidly turning a delicate shade of pink.

"What're you doing?" He snarled, pushing her away. She grinned, eyes shining, as she pointed to the ceiling above them. Zuko turned his golden eyes to where she was pointing, mouth dropping open in suprise.

"I'm sure you know what happens when two people stand under the mistletoe, Zuzu..." Katara giggled, wondering where the nickname came from. He snarled at her, starting to walk away when he noticed Sokka standing not far off with Suki and Yue. His eyes had left the two beautiful girls to land on his sister, who was still standing close to Zuko. The younger boy's eyes narrowed, warning the Prince to watch his back...

Zuko couldn't help but sneer back as he turned around, grabbing Katara's bare arms. Without any hesitation, he pulled her close and placed his lips against hers. He grinned into the kiss as he saw the look of suprise in her blue eyes, coupled with the look of complete horror on her brother's face as he made his way to them.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY SISTER?" Sokka fumed, pushing her away from Zuko. He was shoving his finger in the older boy's chest when he heard unanimous giggling from behind him. Turning quickly, he saw Yue, Suki, Katara, and even Toph all laughing. It took all their strength to point up, still bent double with hysteria. Horrified, Zuko and Sokka looked up at the same time, finding themselves still under the ball of mistletoe...

And it was right then that Iroh showed up with a camera, capturing the two mortified boys' looks as they realized what had happened...


MERRY CHRISTMAS TO Y'ALL!
