A/N This is my first fanfic. It's got some Maiko in it but it's supposed to be more Zutara. I've only read the search parts 1 and 2 so... It may not be acurate. Please review.
Zuko sighed heavily. Today was Aang and Katara's wedding. At least they were happy. Katara especially. Zuko smiled slightly. Katara... She was absolutely beautiful.
"Zuko, It's time to go." Mai stood in the doorway. She looked fabulous. She cared about Zuko, which he appreciated, and she understood that he half-wished he could go be with Katara. And she wasn't mad. Which wasn't like her.
"I'll be right there." Zuko smiled. He looked at the picture on the dresser. It was of the gang. Just after his search for his mother. Standing, Zuko moved tucked the picture under his arm and headed to the wedding.
Katara looked beautiful in her water-tribe style wedding dress. Her blue eyes sparkled with happy tears. Mai took hold of Zuko's hand.
"She looks gorgeous, doesn't she?" She leaned toward him. Leaning on him. Just as he leaned on her.
"Yes, she does." He answered. Looking over he saw PASOKa and Suki standing together holding hands. They were still together after many fights. So were he and mai. Azula was there too. Standing a couple rows behind her.
"Anyone who wishes to speak against this union, speak now, or forever hold your peace." The priest said. For a split second Zuko considered standing up. Saying "no. "I don't agree. I love you Katara, please don't marry Aang." Zuko almost had his hand in the air. But then he imagined the shock on the gangs faces if he did. Would Katara even feel the same way. Slowly, Zuko let his hand go back to his side.
"Katara is happy." He firmly tells himself. "You should let her be that way."
"But, what if she's only happy, because she doesn't know you care." A little voice in his head said sadly.
"Because Mai loves me too. And I should take care of Mai, she's been through prison. She needs me." Mai squeezed his hand knowingly.
"You may now kiss the bride." Aang and Katara kiss and then they all head to the reception.
"Congratulations, Katara, Aang." Zuko nods at the newlyweds.
"Thank you, sifu hot-man!" Aang jokes joyfully. He's matured a lot in the past 10 years.
"yes, thank you, Zuko." Katara hugs him gently, and Aang shakes his hand. Maybe now, Zuko could do what he was torn between doing and not doing for the past 2 years. Walking over to Mai. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a ring. Getting down on one knee. He could almost hear the crowd whispering shocked words to each other. Mai was blushing just a bit.
"Mai, your the one who has kept me on track most of the time. Your beautiful, and when your not hating it, the world is yours. Will you marry me?" Mai nods slowly, and Zuko slips the ring on her finger. Looking around he catches Katara's eyes. She's smiling. With tears in her eyes. She's happy for him. Zuko could shout for joy. Instead he looks at Mai, and kisses her, gently. He loves her, just as much as Katara. Katara, is a sister to him now. And Zuko wouldn't quite have it any other way. As long as she is happy.
