Chapter 2 : Water Park. (A/N): ok so the first chapter wasn't the best but I just wanted to clear it up that Katara doesn't want to be in a relationship with Aang. In this chapter I wanted them to make more of a friendship bond before anything else happens. Enjoy

When she opened her eyes, she was given a sight she could never forget. There he was, with his toned body was Zuko. She felt like drooling and just staring over his toned chest. But he quickly asked, a little uncertain if he can join her. Before she about stared like an idiot she welcomed him in. "Zuko! What a lovely surprise! How did you find this place?" She started getting nervous with seeing him in just his swimsuit. "I've been on this island before with my uncle and I just happen to discover this place myself." He replied. "It's quite relaxing and it helps to let go of stress" Katara said after Zuko got in. They briefly settled low into the water letting it wash over their bodies.
After a short time of no talking, Katara wanted to lighten up the mood. "So, Zuko, what was it like in the Fire Nation? When you were in place for prince, did you ever go out into town?" Zuko pondered his answers for these questions. "Well… In the Fire Nation, you always have to watch where you're going. Even if the people seem nice when you walk buy them, you can never tell what's going to happen when you turn around. It was only a little amount of given time for me and Azula to go and buy little things in the town square. We had guards around us making sure no one could harm us. But we did enjoy the time out there for new sights, fresh air, and sometimes we would watch performers who danced." Katara was sitting there imagining what it would be like to live there. Of course without Ozai there. "It sounds nice there. When it wasn't with overpowered with evil." She said lightly. She could tell Zuko had a rough life and she wanted to comfort him. "Why?" Zuko asked as katara was thinking about the Fire Nation. Katara was taken by surprise and was confused what he was asking. He could clearly see the confusion on her face. "Why did you want to know?" he asked. Oh. This might get awkward.. Katara didn't want to lie to him. But she told him….. most of the truth. "Well everyone in the group is family for each other, and I feel like we could get to know each other better." Katara said while blushing at the end. Zuko smiled and said "Ok but right after I do this" Katara was looking for an explanation but all she say was Zuko getting out and walked back a few paces. He then ran and jumped into the spring. It finally hit Katara to shield herself from the water but she was too late. Zuko made a giant wave which hit Katara straight to the face. 'She at least didn't swallow water' she thought to herself. Zuko popped up right next to her and shook out his wet hair making Katara more soaked. "Now, how was it in the Southern Water tribe?" Zuko asked while sitting down next to her. Katara was trying her best not to get distracted by him. "uhhmm.. Well, it's a very small village and we had very scarce things available. It was tough there but it was our home." She smiled remembering the place. "Sounds….. Nice." Zuko said halfheartedly.
"Stop it! I was just starting to dry off!" Currently Katara and Zuko were getting out when zuko decided to shake his wet hair and get water everywhere. "Come on, a little water won't hurt anyone!" He stated with a smirk. Katara ignored to comment and just started walking back with him walking a bit ahead of her. "Well that was a nice time" she said after a moment of silence. "Haha yeah. I enjoyed spending it with you Katara." He said looking back at her. But before she could reply she suddenly tripped on a vine. "AAAHHHH!" she screamed while embracing for impact with the ground. But instead a pair of warm arms caught her just mere inches from the ground. "Gottcha."
