Even though I didn't get many reviews I decided to keep going. I like this story a lot more since I got the idea to make it. So here is Chapter 2. Also, I would like to thank everyone who reviewed!

It was about 5 o' clock when Katara woke. She was so used to getting up that early but realized that she didn't have to any more. Katara turned and looked at the prince sleeping so peacefully next to her.

His auburn hair was awfully messy and in his face. Even so, she still thought that he looks so cute! Oh my! How could I think that! I can't feel that way about my new master! She thought. But he IS cute! Her mind debated.

After shaking that thought to the back of her head she silently arose from the bed. Since she was already wide-awake she decided to make his bath so that it would be all ready and prepared upon his awakening.

Slowly she made her way to the door she had seen earlier. Katara crept quietly hoping not to step on a crack and wake the prince. Once she reached the door she opened it hesitantly so it wouldn't creak and then closed the entrance.

When Katara turned around she was shocked. It was indeed the bathroom but it was nothing like she had seen before! Everything was white marble. The sink beautifully carved and had a gold faucet and knobs. And the bathtub! It was about as big as a twin bed! Though it was big it also had 8 faucets, which would probably speed up the filling time. Thank fully there was only one kind of shampoo so she would mess up what kind of bubbles to put in.

She began at once and as she sat on the edge of the tub she began to hum a tune. It was the tune to a lullaby her mother used to sing to her when she was a child. After a few minutes she began to sing the words:

Please my child, sleep before long,

While I sing you this calming song,

A song of Earth, Fire and Air,

And Water everywhere,

Before the fire nation declared war,

The nations were peaceful together, the four,

Only the avatar, master of all,

Could stop the fire before all nations fall,

The nations that remain are Earth, Fire and Water

Now please lay your head down and sleep my daughter,

" You have a lovely voice, Katara." Applauded Zuko. At hearing Zuko's voice, Katara nearly fell into the bath. It seemed that while she was singing, Zuko had noiselessly entered the bathroom.

"Oh! I, er, didn't see you there um, master. I, uh, made your bath for you," She quickly blurted out now blushing and obviously embarrassed.

"Please Katara, call me Zuko. And thank you for preparing my bath." Zuko replied calmly.

" But, that wouldn't be right. Calling you Zuko I mean. You're of higher ranking and I am just a slave. I must call you no less than Prince Zuko." She commented without looking up.

Zuko gently lifted Katara's chin up and looked her square in the eyes, "How about when we're alone you call me Zuko and in the presence of others you call me master or Prince Zuko or whatever you think is the least disrespectful, ok?" Katara silently nodded an OK.

"Good, now time for my bath" Zuko said cheerfully. He took off his shirt and handed it to Katara. He's even cuter without a shirt! Ooh! Wait, no, I can't be thinking this! She agued again in her mind.

" Ahem" Zuko said as he cleared his throat.

"Oh, right!" Katara turned around knowing that he was going to get fully undressed.

After hearing him get into the tub she turned around and shut the faucets off. Then she got to the end of the great container and squeezed some shampoo onto her hand and began washing her masters hair. The slick hair slipped through her fingers. It felt so smooth. Once his hair was completely lathered she rinsed it out. Zuko leaned forward and she new that she should wash his back. Her hands are so soft and delicate! She is quite striking for a slave girl too. Zuko thought.

The bath was nearing its end when Zuko turned to look at Katara.

"Katara, I'm sorry about what happened." Zuko apologized. Then Katara gave him a puzzled look.

" What?" She questioned back.

"About your family, the raid, you being brought here and having such a bad life for so many years. It's just, is there anything I can do for you that is reason able to show you how much I am sorry for the pain my father has caused you over the past 6 years and even still today?" Zuko begged. Katara was stunned at the question but did have one thing in mind. This was something she longed for, ever since she was taken so long ago.

"Well, there is one thing." She supposed.

" Yes!" He said eagerly waiting to know what he could do.

" Ever since I was taken, I haven't been allowed to see the ocean. Could you take me there?" She questioned.

"Of course! We can go tonight just after dinner." He proposed.

Katara and Zuko walked silently down the beach, gazing out over the ocean at the magnificent sunset.

"It's so breathtaking, I've never seen a sunset like this!" She sighed as she looked at the magnificent red and orange sunset. It really was spectacular the way it reflected of the water making it seem ever more radiant.

"Yea it is. Sunsets in the fire nation are some of the prettiest in the world. I remember looking out over the ocean from my mother's balcony every night just to see the end of each day. I hear the only sunsets more beautiful are at the North Pole." He stated.

Then Katara stopped. And Zuko turned to face her and saw a single teardrop roll down her soft, pink cheek. Zuko moved closer to Katara and in a concerned voice said "Katara, are you alright?" And then she bounded forward and hugged him. Zuko, a little surprised almost fell over. Not knowing what to do, he softly hugged her back. Then Katara looked up into his shocked eyes.

" Zuko, you are the first person who has ever done something so nice for me the entire time I've been here. Thank you!" She sniffled and then she laid her head on his chest. They just stood there on the beach, holding each other. And Zuko whispered "Your welcome."

After arriving back at Zuko's suite, Katara found a twin cot on the ground, just to the right of Zuko's bed. Katara changed into her robe and Zuko changed into his and they both crawled into their own bed. Zuko fell asleep easily but Katara, even though it had been the best day of her life today, found it hard to sleep. And once she did get to sleep, the horrible past came to haunt her.

Poor Katara! Just when everything was going good a dream from the past had to come and scare her! Well, she's having this dream for a reason! Maybe not the dream its self but having the dream. Or nightmare, Please, no flames, constructive criticism is fine though. Please review!!!

(PS the song Katara sang I wrote myself so don't take it!)
