Different take on the finale....I don't own ATLA, or this would have actually happened :D

*******************************************************************

(Katara's POV)

I watched in absolute horror as I saw the lightning hit Zuko's body square in the heart. He hit the ground, hard, and rolled over onto his back, lightning still jolting every now and again. "Zuko!" I screamed, i began running to him, but I was distracted by maniacal laughter. I thought she was crazy before, but now she had gone off the deep end. She ran for me now, blue lightning shooting out behind her. I ran for the fountain, but she was on my heels. I seached frantically for water, but there seemed to be none around. I looked quickly below me, and saw water rushing quietly underneath a vent. I bended up, and threw it at her, just as she was a foot away. I froze the water, but let myself glide to her,chaining her to the vent below. I unfroze the water, and bended some into my pouch. I then ran, with all the power i had in my body, to the man that had saved my life. He was laying there, a disturbing sized hole gaping threw his chest. "Oh Zuko." I whimpered, bending the water out, and I began to heal his wound. Slowy, the hole began to come to a close. "Zuko, Zuko, say something!" I gently shook his face. "Mmmm" he moaned softly, his eyes creaking open. "Katara.." He groaned. "Yes, Zuko, I'm here." I whimpered, tears escaping my eyes. He raised his arm slowly, and gasped in pain, but continued to lift his hand to wipe the tears from my eyes. "Thank you." he said weakly, his hand still on my cheek. I grabbed in my own and whispered. "I'm the one who should be thanking you." I lowered his hand slowly to his side, and leaned down and kissed his lips. He took a deep breath, and truly smiled.
