It's been two years since the 100 Years War. Katara, now the Southern Water Tribe Ambassador, walked along the Fire Nation's shores contemplating her life. From when she met Aang all the way to the end of the war, a lot of things had changed. She wasn't the preppy girl she had been when she left the South Pole. She dealt with death, dishonesty, betrayal, and heartbreak in just that one year of the war. Yet, she had managed with her family. Meaning she had Sokka, Aang, Toph, Suki, Iroh, and even Zuko. Yes, the Fire Nation royals had joined them soon after the eclipse invasion. Katara took an immediate liking to Iroh or Uncle as he liked to be called. The old man was very wise and gave good advice. Also, he had a pretty good sense of humor.

Zuko on the other hand was a problem. Ever since the crystal catacombs in Ba Sing Se, Katara had a strong sense of hatred towards him and didn't necessarily welcome him with open arms. But, time went by and she calmed down, especially when Iroh showed up shortly after. They had a talk and they found that she and Zuko actually had a lot in common. Aside from the fact that they both didn't have their mothers around, they both had their lives ruined by the Fire Nation, both had very ugly tempers, and they especially disliked papaya. Who would've thought, huh? The two opposites became friends and basically started over from there. It was pretty hard to believe Zuko was running a country and that Katara became a highly respected ambassador. They spent all their time together in meetings, planning for upcoming events, managing trade routes, and the list goes on and on. In fact, they almost spent too much time together.

Katara sighed. That was another thing to think about. She had a problem involving the new Fire Lord. Every time she saw him she got butterflies in her stomach, every time she brushed him she'd get butterflies or blush and then mumble an apology, and every time they talked about something non-political or non-economical she was bound to say something stupid. Katara groaned.

The thing was she didn't like these feelings because she knew what they meant and what they would cause if she gave into them. The time with Jet had already proved that and he had broken her heart. As Katara made her way back to the palace, a song she once heard played in her head.

You are fine
You are sweet
But I'm still a bit naive with my heart
When you're close I don't breathe
I can't find the words to speak
I feel sparks
But I don't want to be into you
If you not lookin' for true love
No I don't wanna start seein' you
If I can't be your only one

So tell me when it's not alright
When it's not OK
Will you try to make me feel better?
Will you say alright? (Say alright)
Will you say OK? (Say OK)
Will you stick with me through whatever?
Or run away
(Say that it's gonna be alright. That it's gonna be OK)
Say OK (don't run away)

Let me know if it's gonna be you
Boy, you've got some things to prove
Let me know that you'll keep me safe
I don't want you to run away so
Let me know that you'll call on time
Let me know that you'll help me shine
Will you wipe my tears away
Will you hold me close and say

When it's not alright
When it's not OK
Will you try to make me feel better
Will you say alright? (Say alright)
Will you say OK? (Say OK)
Will you stick with me through whatever?
Or run away
(Say that it's gonna be alright. That it's gonna be OK)
Say OK
(Don't run away, don't run away)
(Say that it's gonna be alright. That it's gonna be OK, don't run away)
Will you say OK
(Say that it's gonna be alright. That it's gonna be OK, don't run away)

Katara realized how true that song was. She didn't want to be a trinket to just throw away. At the same time she realized how hard she had fallen for Zuko.

"Ugh, what I'm I doing fantasizing about the Fire Lord as Prince Charming when there is work to be done? He probably just thinks of me as only a friend anyhow." She hurried towards the palace, not noticing the golden pair of smiling eyes that had followed her down the shore.


Review and tell me what I could do to improve it, okay? 8D
