With the war won, the nations happily reunited, the world scared, and the Avatar restored to his rightful glory, things seemed to be all resolved for the world. But, in the heart of a restless but strong wise young water tribe girl was another unsolved complication. She had been struggling with her feelings; with both Aang and Zuko. After the group went to see the fire nation play Boy in The Iceburg, everyone had questions about themselves and their feelings for the others. Katara started to think more about Zuko then she probably should have been. She started to think down on Aang and detached from him quite a bit since from the time of the invasion. She had questions and answers were never found.

She sat quietly on Fire Lord Zuko's floor when Aang entered. He wore a vest and nicely talored pants. His arrow seemed to stand out more than usual but was hidden by his ear to ear smile. He knew everyone would be congratulating him, especially Katara. So as everyone came up to praise him, he waited patiently for Katara. But when everyone had given their thanks, she was no where to be found. Aang hurried to find her. They had to talk some time or other, and right now things were very different then last time they had talked. Maybe she had reconsidered.

He finally found her on a ballcony on the second floor. He smiled as he cruised over to where she stood.

"Katara! We won! There's finally peace in the world," he said happily as he stood next to her. Her hair seemed especially soft today, he thought. He could almost feel it before she turned to him. Her eyes were bloodshot and her frown pierced his heart. He took half a step foward.

"Katara..." he almost whispered. He took her into a hug and held on to her for her life.

"We've won only one of the wars we are fighting Aang." she said softly. "The other is between us." she held on to him.

"It's not a war, Katara." he said sadly. "We both win."

"Then why do I feel like I'm losing?" she cried softly until she fell asleep in his arms. Not caring about tomorow, but only holding on to his dearest Katara, he also drifted asleep.
