Day Two: Euphoria- A state of intense happiness and self-confidence.


Katara loved her fiancée, she really did. The day that he finally, they had been dating since ember island, asked her to marry him was the happiest of her life. She couldn't wait until the day of her wedding was here, and at the end of the week it would be. They had little moments of intense joy, and those couldn't be more amazing than they were.

Then those moments when it was time for a dress fitting, or she had to check on the flower arrangements, or take time at a local orphanage, or anything else that got in the way of her and Zuko. She didn't necessarily mind that all these things were taking up her time, especially when it came to bettering the Fire Nation. What she did mind was that she was lucky if she got to have dinner with Zuko without it being a formal affair or being interrupted or just dealing with Ursa's constant squeals about how cute their children would be.

Not that she hated the idea of children. It was just that she really didn't want to discuss their sex life in front of her soon to be mother-in-law. Then that would get Zuko started on how worried he was about if he would make a good father or if he would turn out like his own. It would take her at least three days to get him calmed down enough to even kiss her good night. They hadn't even done it yet and he was worried about the type of father he would be!

Still, in between the craziness, the business, and the want for grandchildren they had their moments. The moments that their judgment was so overclouded by want they could scarcely keep their hands off each other. The moments that they would just lay together under the old tree out by the turtle duck pond. The moments that they could just be Katara and Zuko, and no one could tell them otherwise.

"Katara, it's time for your last fitting!" Yes, no matter how crazy their lives became, she would stay with him. Because the moments of euphoria were too good to pass up.
