A/N: First, I would like to put out my MANY thanks for the reviewers. I didn't expect this to do as well as it has so far. So, by popular demand, I decided to go on.

Katara looked up at Zuko after kissing him. She was happy. She just knew that she would be with him.
And then…
The wall flew open and Aang walked in. Fallowed by Uncle Iroh.
"Uncle?" Zuko questioned.
"AANG!" Katara shouted, running over to hug Aang.
"Uncle, why were you with the Avatar?" Zuko asked.
"It's time we talked, Zuko. Aang, go with Katara. You need to tell her what you told me." Iroh said to Aang.
Aang and Katara walked down to the other end of the ancient city where Aang told Katara what was on his mind.
"Katara, there's something I need to tell you. I lo-" Aang said, but was cut off by Katara.
"Aang, I'M IN LOVE!" Katara squealed, being heard all the way down to the other side of the ancient city, where Iroh and Zuko were talking.
"Katara, I feel the same way. I have for a long time. I was just scared to tell you. And Sokka wouldn't take it well at all." Aang said.
"You're in love with Zuko, too?" Katara asked Aang.
"Yes I — Did you just say 'Zuko'?" Aang asked, startled.
"Yeah. What did you think I meant?" She paused for a minuet to think and then said, "Oh. Aang, I'm so sorry. But," She paused for a second or two, and then continued with, "I can't love you. I love Zuko."
"Oh. I understand. Goodbye, Katara." Aang said very quietly, walking away from Katara.
"Aang! Wait up! Aang!" Katara shouted, but it was too late. Aang had disappeared from the city and was up in modern Ba Sing Se.
"Aang." Katara whispered to herself.

Katara walked over to where Iroh and Zuko were talking and listened in.
"Zuko. You have come to the crossroads of your destiny. You must choose. Your family… Or your honor." Iroh was saying to Zuko.
Just then, another wall opened. Katara, who was still hiding, wasn't seen.
Two Earthbenders walked in, fallowed by Azula.
"Zuko." Azula said bitterly.
"What do you want, Azula?" Zuko demanded.
"It's very simple, really. I need you." Azula demanded.
"And why do you need me?" Zuko fired back, with literal fire.
"Don't blow your little fireworks at me. Besides, if you want to see some real fireworks, watch this." Azula said, and with that, shot lightning into the air. As it hit some crystal at the top, the crystal blew up, causing fireworks in the air.
"Very impressive. But you still haven't answered me. Why do you need me?" Zuko again questioned.
"I have planned out every moment of this day. This glorious Day in Fire Nation history. And the only way we win," She paused for a second, and then continued with, "Is together."
"And what if I don't help you? What then?" Zuko fired.
"Nothing really. But if you don't help, how will you ever get your honor back? It couldn't be the Avatar, because I have him!" Azula shouted, ordering the Earthbenders to open another hole in the wall, revealing Aang, not even putting up a fight.
"He can't get out without Earthbending, and he won't do that. A broken heart, it looks like." Azula said.
And indeed, Aang had tears going down his face and drenching his poncho.
"AANG!" Katara shouted, coming out of her hiding place to help Aang. She ran over to Aang and started Waterbending her way to try to get the Earth to budge, but couldn't.
"Aang… I'm sorry." Katara said, breaking down in tears.
"Just …Be… Happy." Aang muttered before falling into a coma.
"Aang." She whispered to herself for the second time that night.
"The choice is your's Zuko. Honor… Or death." Azula said, excusing the Earthbenders.
"I'll let you think on it." She said, walking out.

An
hour later, Zuko was looking around, trying to think clearly.
'If I take love, namely Katara, I'll die, but I'll have died happy. And if I choose the Fire Nation, I'll be alive, but miserable. What do I do, what do I do?' Zuko questioned himself yet again.
"Times up, Zuko. Make your choice." Azula demanded, entering the ancient city.
"I choose…" Zuko said, pausing for a second.

A/N: I love a good cliffhanger, don't you? LOL! If you want to know what he chose, give me twenty reviews. And since I got almost ten within a few hours of this story being published, I know it can happen. And that's 20 reviews on THIS chapter, not all together.
Sorry for the Kataang moments in there. I assure you that this will be a Zutara story, I just tried putting them into character (in some parts). I hope that this seamed kind of how the episode went when Zuko and Iroh were talking, along with Azula and Zuko.
Remember, Review!
