I was sitting on Appa with Toph while Aang and Sokka were getting supplies. They were taking forever just like they always did. It was getting really hot and I couldn't take it anymore. I hopped off Appa and Toph said, "Katara where are you going?" I sighed then said, "To get more water I can bend to keep us cool." She shrugged then I began to walk into the forest. Of course Aang and Sokka both told me to stay by Toph and Appa but I was hot and wanted to stretch my legs. I got to the end of the woods where I found a huge lake. I smiled to myself and walked over to the lake. It has been a year since Suzan's comet and the big battle with Fire Lord Zuko's father. The past couple of years a lot happened with our group. I bent down and bended water into my container. I was almost done when I heard, "Mai I am sorry but I am not feeling the same way I did before." "Its her isn't it?" "Who? Who are you talking about?" "I am not stupid since last year she has her eyes on you and you the same. Choose Zuko her or me?" "I am sorry Mai." "Goodbye Zuko."

Who could Mai and Zuko being talking about? Zuko came out behind the bushes and saw me sitting there bending the water. "Oh Katara. You…You didn't hear that right?" I sighed then said, "I didn't mean to but yeah sorry Zuko." He looked at me confused and said, "Oh don't worry about it. I am happy she finally realized I have feelings for someone else." I nodded then said, "That other girl is very special then since you and Mai have been dating a long time and all." He nodded then said, "She is very special and I want to tell her how I feel but she loves another guy so." I nodded then said, "You should just tell her maybe she doesn't love that other guy like you think she does." He smiled then said, "Thanks Katara." I smiled then said, "No problem." He walked closer to me and said, "You want help with that?" I shrugged then I finished bending the water and closed the container and he carried it back for me.

We got back to Appa and Aang ran over and hugged me so tight I thought I would have popped if he didn't let go. When we were hugging I saw Zuko become sad and walk away towards Appa. Aang finally pulled away and Sokka said, "Thanks for telling us you were leaving." I rolled my eyes and said, "You were taking forever and I got hot sorry if I wanted water." He shook his head and I walked towards Appa. We all got on Appa and Aang said, "Yip Yip!" We were suddenly in the air flying fast. Momo flew in besides us and landed on Aang's shoulder. We were flying back to the Fire nation so Zuko could start with the plans to rebuilt the world once again from the 100 of year ashes that were there. I was watching the ocean below when I saw a fireball coming flying at us. "Aang!" He motioned Appa away and we moved just in time before getting hit.

I looked at Zuko and he looked pissed. He was about to jump off Appa and onto the ship below us when I grabbed his hand and said, "Zuko no!" He looked into my eyes and I have no idea what he saw but he nodded then sat back down. Aang motioned Appa to over near the ship and we all hopped off. There were Fire benders everywhere, this wasn't normal. The world was in peace no one ever fired on us after the war and after Zuko became fire lord. Aang, Toph, and Sokka were all fighting benders when Zuko grabbed my hand and said in a low voice, "Follow me and keep quiet." I nodded then we walked away fast and out of sight of everyone. Zuko opened a door to a hallway. He gave me his hand and helped me in, he came in after. I looked at him and he said, "Katara its my sister." I looked at him confused and said, "I thought she was in jail." He nodded then said, "She was. She broke out some how. And Mai sent her an owl and told her about the girl I am in love with." I looked at him and said, "Wait this is your sister's ship so that means she is attacking the girl you love which is either me or Toph." He nodded then it all fit together just right. Him always saving me and helping me out when I needed it.

He was in love with me. My mouth dropped and Zuko said, "Katara we have to go now!" I nodded and he grabbed my hand and opened the door we just came in through. He got out and helped me out after him. I saw Aang and Sokka and Toph all holding fire benders that we knocked out. Aang looked at me and looked confused. His eyes were focused on one spot our hands that were still holding. I pulled my hand away from Zuko and he looked at me and I moved my eyes to show him. He looked at where I looked at the corner of his eyes and then understood. Sokka just shrugged then said, "Zuko do you know whose ship this is?" He shook his head and then said, "Probably just some fire benders that have a grudge against me or you guys or something." Sokka shrugged then Toph said, "What are we doing with them?" Pointing at the past out benders they were holding. Zuko looked at me and I just shrugged then he said, "Put them in the jail at the fire nation." The three of them nodded then Sokka said, "I can drive the ship till the fire nation I don't care. I am getting airsick anyways."

I shook my head and said, "No Sokka." Zuko nodded then said, "I am going to be driving the ship." I then said, "And I will be staying with him incase someone tries to attack him or something." Sokka shrugged then Toph says "sounds good but can we go already." Aang sighed in a angry way then said, "Lets go!" They got onto Appa and took off into the sky. I bended water and placed it against their heads which caused them to wake up. Zuko stood them all up and had them go and manage the ship. I looked at him and said, "You lied. Your sister isn't out of jail is she?" He bit his lip then said, "Yes but she's not after us. Would you have stayed if I told you the truth though?" I looked away then back at him and said, "Good thing you lied then." He smiled then held out his hand and I took it. We went up to the caption's deck and looked out the window at the horizon which was full of light and colors.

I sighed then he looked at me and said, "Katara what? What is it?" I looked down then said, "I hate lying to them Zuko but they would never want or let us be together even if we want to be." He sighed then turned me to face him and lifted my head so I was looking at him. His scar was getting better with everyday I worked on healing it. He sighed then said, "I know that. That is why we wont be going back to the fire nation if you don't want to." I looked into his eyes and said, "What about my brother? What about everyone?" He sighed then said, "Its your chose Katara. We could try and tell them about us and see what that leads us. Or we could go and settle down somewhere were no one could find us. Just me and you then in time we could go and see them and tell them." I smiled then said, "Can I sleep on it?" He smiled then said, "Anything you want I will give." I smiled then let go of his hands and walked out of the captions deck and into my bedroom.
