Here's chapter 2! Thanks for all the awesome reviews I got!

"I know you are," Katara whispered after his departing form, "I just hope you stay that way."

Katara took a deep breath and walked out of the room. She stopped at the doorway, not knowing where to go, not wanting to go see Aang after what happened. She raked her mind for someone she could talk to and immediately her mind flashed to Suki.

Nodding her head, her determination set, Katara out for the other side of the palace where Suki's chambers were. She passed several servants on her way to Suki and she blushed when each of them recognized her as the powerful Waterbender and bowed their heads as she passed.

She walked for about another two minutes passing room after room and hallway after hallway. Finally she made it to Suki's bedroom and knocked on the door.

"Come in," Suki said from the other side and Katara pushed against the door.

"Katara, what are you doing here?" Suki asked setting down her Kyoshi fans she had been practicing with.

"I need to talk to you," she said standing awkwardly in the door waiting for permission to come in.

Suki nodded her head and sat down at the edge of her bed, motioning for Katara to follow suit.

"What's up?" Suki asked waiting patiently for her friend to start.

"I like Zuko, and I don't know how to tell Aang. But I think he knows because he walked in on us, although I passed it off as me healing his chest wound. I don't want to hurt Aang but I can't stay with him and continue to hide Zuko and me," Katara burst out not wanting to beat around the bush with her problems knowing that telling Suki straight forward would help her answer.

Suki's eyebrows shot up into her hairline as Katara's confession came out. She had been expecting a question on what to wear to Zuko's coronation, not a love dilemma. The Kyoshi warrior took a deep breath and began sorting out the admission looking for an answer.

"Wow Katara…well, do you truly love Zuko?" Suki finally managed trying to see how big the problem was.

"Yes, I've loved him for a while," Katara answered breathing again now that she knew Suki wouldn't yell at her for loving the Fire bender

Suki nodded trying to understand trying to suffocate the feelings that were rising as she thought of Katara and that Prince together after everything he had done. She thought about her feelings for Sokka, she had never been in the position Katara was in now, but she could only imagine what it was doing to her.

"I knew you liked Zuko!" Katara heard someone yell victoriously from behind her, in the direction of the door.

Katara twirled around to find Toph watching them with a huge grin on her face. Toph walked in and stopped at the foot of the bed, she never got onto the bed because she hated not being able to feel anything beneath her. Katara felt a blush creep up her neck even as she felt her hands twitch to strangle the young Earthbender.

"Will you be quiet! I'm trying not to let the entire palace know!" Katara shouted feeling her anger grow as Toph's grin just widened.

"Well I say go for it," Toph said suddenly growing serious as she thought of how upset Zuko had seemed when she had "seen" him in the hallway with Mai.

"What would you know about love Toph?" Suki kidded not bothering to invite Toph onto her bed knowing she would refuse.

"Well…you have to promise not tell him but…I kind of like Aang," Toph admitted rubbing the back of her neck as a huge blush started to spread around her face.

"You like Aang?" Katara said incredulously as she thought of how harsh Toph always had been while training Aang in Earthbending.

"Well don't say it so loud!" Toph hissed feeling the blush strengthen as she imagined Aang hearing.

"I can't believe it, who would have imagined the all powerful Toph could like Twinkletoes?" Suki joked an eyebrow raised as she imagined Toph and Aang together.

"Well you two are the same age," Katara pointed out thinking of the twelve year-old, or the one-hundred-twelve year-old, and her age of fifteen.

"Stop it, besides he's obsessed with you Katara, he would never want a filthy Earthbender," Toph moped brushing at a fly that had landed on her nose.

"You never know, things could change," Suki encouraged the both of them.

Katara and Toph glanced at each other and rolled their eyes. They both found Suki's unbreakable optimism a bit annoying sometimes.

"Hey Suki is it okay if we spend the night hear?" Katara asked not wanting to spend the night alone with her thoughts.

Suki thought about it for a moment and agreed, it would be fun to have a girl's night together to talk about the boys in their lives and possible do makeup together. She thought it would be funny to see Kyoshi warrior makeup.

Katara wandered back to her room to get the things needed for the night in Suki's chambers. She grabbed her sleeping bag and her hairbrush, not wanting to wander through the halls tomorrow with a bad hair day

"Where are you going?" she heard a voice say from her doorway.

Katara turned around and saw Aang watching her curiously. She gave him a small smile but knew that anything more would just blossom the idea that she loved him. Katara did love Aang, but she wasn't in love with him and she knew it would hurt when she told him otherwise.

"I'm spending the night in Suki's room, Toph coming too, we're having a girl's night," Katara explained.

Aang saw the honesty in her eyes but he also saw the pain in their and once again saw the fact that she loved Zuko more then him, "Well I was just coming to say goodnight so, I'll see you tomorrow for the coronation."

"Okay, goodnight Aang," Katara answered back walking out of the room after giving him a small smile.

"Goodnight Katara," Aang replied closing his eyes against the tears that were threatening to fall.

God I hate hurting Aang….but I hope you liked the chapter! Warning…I write other stories so I usually don't update this quickly…it's just a new story and I am still excited to write it. Just a warning.
