I do not own Avatar or School Days

I wanted to write an alternate ending to this since people have said it was not realistic enough

I wanted to write an alternate ending to this since people have said it was not realistic enough. This is one of two alternate endings I've thought up. I was planning to write this 2nd but this one just seemed so much fun.

This is going to continue from the point where Mae saw Zuko with Katara. I just changed how she saw them. This will solely be about Katara, Zuko, and Mae.

Mae decided to go check their room to see if Zuko went back there. She reached the double door to her and Zuko's room and was just about to open when she heard a moan. She stopped and froze on the spot, it was a girl moaning. As Mae stood there longer and longer, she can hear more moaning and groaning coming from the room, even from Zuko. She took out a small dagger and cut a slit in the canvas of the door and looked through. At the sight of Zuko and Katara naked in bed, she dropped the dagger in shock. The resulting clink made Zuko and Katara look back and Mae quickly ducked. She picked up the dagger and ran.

"What was that?" Katara asked.

"I don't know, maybe one of the servants dropped something outside." Zuko said.

"Should we get going, they'll start worrying, especially Aang and….Mae." Katara said sitting up.

"Just a little longer," Zuko said pulling Katara back down.

"We'll tell him." Zuko declared.

"What?" Katara said in surprise at his willingness.

"We'll tell Aang…Mae…everyone about us. You're right, we can't keep this a secret anymore…three years is too long." Zuko said.

"Zuko…" Katara said with tears in her eyes as she held Zuko tight.

Zuko and Katara walked slowly together back to the banquet hall, as if marching in a funeral procession. Even though they know they have to do it, they wanted to delay it as long as possible. However, when they reached the banquet hall, Mae and Aang were no where to be found. They asked Sokka and Suki and they didn't know either. The party ended and Zuko gave a speech about how he will continue to keep the peace between the nations. Everyone went back home or to inns they were staying and the special guests went back to their rooms in the palace. It was late.

"They're not here…" Katara said.

"Yeah….we'll tell them tomorrow." Zuko said.

Tomorrow is when they'll be leaving.

Later that night when everyone returned to their rooms to rest, Mae was in a small chamber next to throne room, the images of what she saw flashed through her mind as she twirls the dagger around. She couldn't believe that Zuko actually cheated on her. Mae was looking too well either; her hair was but had a few ornaments holding it here and there so it looked like her hair was everywhere. Her red dress hung loosely on her shoulders as she sat looking at the dark ceiling. Suddenly, as if being possessed her expression hardened. She let her hair fall down completely so her bangs hid her eyes. With that, she slowly made her way back to her and Zuko's room.

Zuko was back at the room where a few hours ago, he and Katara were just together in fiery passion. He looked out the open window at the night sky and stared at the stars and the full moon. The moon always reminded him of Katara so he would spend hours of night just looking at it. Suddenly the doors creaked open and Mae stepped in. The halls were dark and quiet as all the servants had finished their work and gone to their quarters to sleep.

"Mae, where were you?" Zuko asked.

"No where, I was here the whole time." Mae answered her eyes in the shadows of the hair.

"Mae, what's wrong?" Zuko asked.

Mae did not answer.

"You seem quiet tonight, tell me what happened." Zuko said as he stepped closer to her arms open exposing his torso.

Mae drew the dagger she used earlier to cut the slit with and ran it through Zuko, the blade piercing Zuko's stomach. Zuko caught off-guard toppled over and fell to the ground. Mae stood over him, her eyes still under hair.

"Mae, what are you…?" Zuko gasped.

Before he can finish, Mae jumped on him, straddling him and stabbed him through the chest. She withdrew the dagger and brought it back down again. She stabbed and stabbed for a whole minute, poking at whatever parts of the torso she hasn't stabbed yet, Zuko's blood spraying in everywhere direction. All the while with tears in her eyes and saying "You're the worst."

Finally, Zuko laid there, dead, stabbed to death by his wife. His blood pooled under him, the expression of horror still on his face. As Mae looked at Zuko's expression, she realized what she had done and backed away in fright. Her body shook violently as she saw the mess of blood in front of her and on her. She got up and ran out of the room clumsily still scared of what she had just done. She went to the throne room and hid behind the little pagoda where Zuko would sit during court sessions as Fire lord.

Katara, unable to sleep decided to go and have a walk around the palace a bit. She walked by Zuko's room, whether consciously or not, she did not know. She saw that the door was opened and looked inside. She looked in horror at the pool of blood and her beloved firebender lying there, with an expression terror on his face still as he lay dead. She saw a dagger gleaming in the moonlight and realized it was Mae's. At that moment, Katara was the one who seemed possessed. She stepped into the room and closed the door behind her.

Mae stood huddled behind the pagoda still thinking of what she had just done. She decided to run away, she has to. She just killed Fire lord. Not being to bear looking at Zuko's body she snuck back to her parent's house to grab some essentials in the dark. She's going to Kyoshi Island, Ty Lee would her. As she covered herself in a traveling cloak, her stuff in a bundle on her, she headed towards the harbor. She heard a screech and looked up to see a messenger hawk flying towards her. The hawk landed on a nearby perch and Mae took out the scroll in the case on its back.

Her eyes widened in surprise as she saw the note. It was from Zuko, but it was impossible. Zuko is dead and she killed him. The note said to meet on the hilltop where they used to have picnics. She stood there contemplating whther or not to go. She is beginning to have some hope that Zuko didn't die. Finally she decided to go and headed up the hill toward their spot.

When she arrived, there was no one except a bundle of cloth on a flat rock. She looked around and stared at the spot where she and Zuko used to sit watching the sunset while lying on a smooth boulder.

"Good Evening Mae," Katara said coming from the shadows.

"Katara, what are you…." Mae started.

"I use to come here a lot with him…and he would tell me things about you." Katara said.

Mae did not say anything and the two of them looked at each other under the full moon.

"Why did you do it?" Katara asked.

"W-what…" Mae stuttered

"Why?" Katara said simply.

"I should be the one asking questions, why did Zuko cheat on me with you?" He loved me and yet you have to seduce him, you dirty peasant girl." Mae said outraged.

"Why don't you ask him who he loves more…" Katara said nodding toward the small bundle on the flat rock.

Mae looked at the bundle and went to unwrap it. Her eyes widened in fear and she puked on the spot. Mae was on her knees coughing from vomiting and Katara withdrew some water from the pouch on her side and encased her right hand with it.

"Zuko loved me from the very beginning, but it was you who came between us. Because you're a noble, you used to coerce Zuko into choosing you." Katara said.

"What? No….I….he said he loved me." Mae said standing back up.

"People like you….should die." Katara said and raised her right hand encased with water.

Mae drew a dagger as fast as she can but her arm stopped in mid motion after drawing the dagger and dagger fell to the ground. Katara had stopped her by bloodbending with her left hand. Katara ran up and made a slashing movement with her right hand across Mae's neck. The water on her right hand had formed a thin blade. Mae stood there in shock for a second before a fountain of blood sprayed out from the cut and Mae collapsed on the ground…dead.

A boat was sailing east toward the sunrise, Katara laid on the deck hugging something in her arms. The round object she was holding had black hair and when she shifted her right arm a bit, a burn scar can be seen that stretch to the ear.

"We're finally together, Zuko…" Katara whispered.

Woot, school days ending. My friend suggested this actually.

Katara as Kotonoha

Mae as Sekai

Zuko as Makoto
