"I think you all look perfect!" Toph said inside the tea shop with the rest of the gaang and Mai.

Aang and Katara went outside on the balcony and looked into each others eyes. They put their arms around each other and just as Aang leaned in for a kiss Katara layed her head down on his shoulder. Aang realized now. This was a hug. Katara was hugging him. Just hugging him.

"I'm so proud of you Aang." Katara said in a motherly type of tone.

"Um..thanks Katara. I'm proud of you guys too."

"Well we should probably get back in there." Katara said walking away but Aang grabbed her wrist.

"Um….Katara I kinda wanted to tell you something."

"What is it Aang?" Katara said walking back towards him

"Katara ever since the day you woke me up from that Icebird I never stopped have these feeling for you. I think about you all the time and I just need to tell you…."

Katara could already see where this was going.

"Katara I…."

Katara cut Aang off by pulling him into a tight hug and Aang stood there frozen in a what just happened pose.

"Oh Aang. I'm sorry but don't waste that on me. Say it to someone who can return your feelings." Katara said already feeling the tears building up in her eyes.

She broke Aang's heart. She didn't want to break Aang's heart.

"What are you saying Katara?"

Katara looked Aang in the eyes but turned away when she saw all the hurt.

"I'm so sorry Aang"

Katara quickly walked through the tea shop with her hand over her mouth and Aang walked slowly behind her. Katara walked out of the tea shop while Aang banged his head down on the table.

Everyone in the tea shops laughter and small talk died down and were replaced with confused glances and whispers.

"What happened? Sokka blurted out

"I don't know." Zuko said standing up from his table with Mai.

"Where are you going?" Mai said in her flat monotone.

"To check on Katara." Zuko yelled back when he was outside of the entrance.

Katara sat there at the boating docks as she did when She and Zuko went after her mother's killer.

"Mom I'm so confused. I like Aang he's really sweet but i was thinking about it when we were at ember island and I don't raelly know if I should be with him. Everything would be so….perfect. We wouldnt fight. He would always remember everything even the little stuff. We would have this perfect house on a perfect hill with a perfect family. But do I really want that? I also thought about being with Zuko too. He's so hot headed and stubbron and loyal and caring and funny in his own litlle weird way, and knows just what to say even if it doesn't make sense, he can be such a dork some times. Our life together would be…be...hmm I don't really know what life would be like with Zuko, Mom. But doesn't that make it more exciting?" Katara said with a small smile but as fast as it came it went . " But he's with Mai. She's this gloomy thats sighs and throws knives a lot. Aang's nice and all, Mom but Zuko is.."

"Katara! Are you out here!?" Zuko yelled from the boardwalk. "Oh there you are!" Zuko said when he spotted her and started walking over there.

Zuko sat down next to Katara hoping to calm her down.

Katara head was turned as she tried to compose herself. She didnt want Zuko to see her crying or anyone else.

"Hey Zuko" Katara said getting herself together.

"Hey Katara. Um..you okay?"

"Yea."

"I don't have to be Toph to know your lying Katara. What happened back there?"

"Aang and I hugged."

"And that made you cry?"

"He also tried to kiss me."

"Oh."

"And he told me he loved me."

"Well?"

"Well what?" Katara asked with a confused look on her face

"Do you love him back?" Zuko asked quietly hoping she says no.

"I….don't think so"

"Than you did nothing wrong."

"Huh."

"You didn't feel the same way so rejected him. Theres no reason to cry."

"I guess your right. You always are." Katara said swishing her feet in the water with a soft smile on her face.

"Atleast Aang took it pretty well. I can't really say the same for Mai though."

"What happened with Mai?"

"Well.."

~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~

Zuko is his room putting on his firelord robes to go outside and speak to the public.

Zuko winced in pain as he tried to put on his robe but then he heard a voice.

"Need some help?"

It was Mai. She was safe and out of prison.

"Mai, your okay." Zuko said smiling " They let you out of prison?"

"Well it helps when the firelord's your boyfriend." Mai said while helping him put on his robe.

Wait….mai still though they were going out.

"Mai we need to talk."

"About what?"

"Us."

"What about us?" Mai said with her arms crossed and her eyebrow raised.

"Well…uh…you no that we'er…in a relationship anymore..right?

"What?" Mai said with a furled brow.

"When I broke up with you I though we would just …be….friends."

"Just…be…..Friends?"

Mabey she won't get mad

"Friends Zuko! I risked my life for you! I could've spent the rest of my life in jail for YOU! And now your saying lets just be friends!"

Yep she's mad.

"Why would you do this Zuko? Its because.."

"Excuse me your highness but the Avatar is waiting outside" A severt said from out side the door frme.

"Thank you I'll be right there." Zuko said putting on his armor.

"Can we finish this later Mai?"

"Just go Zuko." Mai said turning around

Zuko left the room feeling gulity as ever and he didn't know why.

He hated when Mai did that to him. Its one of the reasons why he didn't want to get back together in the first place.

"All hail Firelord Zuko!" The Fire Sages annouced as the crowd cheered

Zuko and Aang stepped off the balcony for hugs and handshakes.

When they were finished meeting the people the went over to where Suki, Sokka, Toph and Katara were standing.

"Well done Sparky. Good job Twinkle Toes" Toph said punching them in the arm.

"Thanks." They said rubbing their arms.

"Firelord Zuko, Avatar Aang its a pleasure" Sokka said in his Wang Fire

beard.

"Sokka take that thing off!" Suki demanded

"I can't….it's glued to my face."

"Sokka!"

"Alright guys pull on 1…2…3!" Aang said while he, Toph, and Suki

tryed to pull the beard off Sokka's face.

Zuko and Katara turned to face each other.

"Thank you Zuko. You know…for saving me."

"It's not a big deal" Zuko said shrugging

"Yes it is. You risked your life for me Zuko. Thanks isn't enough" Katara said looking up at Zuko.

Zuko and Katara embraced into a hug for what felt like forever. They woke back into reality when the heard Sokka scream.

"THAT HURT!"

"Well if you didn't gule it to your face we wouldn't have had to yank it off!" Toph yelled while the Gaang went inside

After the coronation Iroh invited the Gaang and Mai to come to tea shop to celebrate. They happily excepted.

When Zuko went back to his room he found all of his clothes pinned to the wall with knives along with his bed slashed.

"Well looks like Mai got in some target practice."

When they got to the tea shop Mai and Zuko sat down in at the table in the back of the tea shop while Sokka started drawing a picture.

"Listen Mai I'm sorry but I just don't feel the same anymore. "

"Is it because of.."

~~~~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~~~~~~

"…And that's when you and Aang came out."

"What do you think she was gonna say?"

Zuko blushed bright red

"Oh….um nobody..i mean nothing. I don't know "

"Well thanks for checking on me Zuko." Katara said getting up.

"You can be really sweet sometimes you know."

"Yea thanks."

Katara turned around and gave Zuko a hug. Then she gave him a kiss on the cheek and walked away.

"Its because of you."
