Hello everyone! Yes it is Zutara week so be joyful and merry! And I'm so sorry I didn't start this earlier, I was at my grandpa's and he doesn't have internet. Sorry its so short!

Calor- Spanish for heat

When Katara woke up that morning she knew that today was going to be horrible. Her head felt like Appa sat on it, she could barely walk straight, her body couldn't decide whether it wanted to be hot or cold, and her stomach felt like it would empty its contents at any moment. However, it didn't matter, Katara had work to do and if she didn't who would? Or at least that's how she felt.

By the time she made it to the kitchen of the air temple, she could barely hold herself up. She decided that instead of having to work through each meal painfully, she'd just throw some stuff into the pot for stew which would hopefully last the gaang the entire day. Yet in her hazy state, she didn't realize that she had thrown in the hottest thing in the four nations; fire peppers. Thankfully for both her and the group, Zuko chose that moment to walk by the kitchen.

"Hey Zuko?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you go wake everyone up and let them know breakfast is ready?" Zuko had by then recognized the spicy smell emitting from the pot and began to walk towards smell, "Um Katara, what did you put in there?"

"Just some vegetables and noodles, why?"

Zuko grabbed the spoon from Katara, with little protest on her end, and took a taste of the stew wrinkling his nose in the process. He turned towards Katara ready to berate her for not paying attention when he noticed her began to fall to the floor unconscious. Immediately registering her burning body temperature, he rushed to put her on Appa, then ran back to the Southern Water Tribe chief's room, where said chief was polishing weapons.

"Um Hakoda sir?" Noticing the panicked sound in Zuko's voice Hakoda got up and turned to the former prince.

"What's wrong boy?"

"I need to take Katara to the nearest healer, she's burning with fever, I thought I would tell you. And don't eat what she cooked, it has fire peppers."

"Thanks now hurry up before she gets sicker." Hakoda knew then that if someone had to take his daughter to a healer, then she was truly ill.

As Zuko boarded Appa, he was thankful that Katara was in Fire Nation clothes and that he kept cloth in Appa's saddle. After tying the cloth around his head to create an eyepatch, they were off in hopes of finding Katara help.
