Ok before I start, I just wanna say thank you to all my reviewers, you guys are awesome and thanks so much for the suggestions, they really helped me out, THANKS! XD

Zuko's POV

The ball just started an hour ago and I'm already sick of it. I cant believe people actually enjoy this stupid thing. I have at least already greeted over 200 people. Look at Azula, why is she so happy, she couldn't possibly be enjoying this. I was so caught up in my mind that I didn't even notice her approaching me and then saying something.

"I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch what you said, could you please repeat that." and before I know it, Azula is laughing at me for talking so official towards her.

"I was just wondering how you were doing dum-dum and stop day-dreaming or you'll start drooling, hehehe" she says trying but not really trying to hide a laugh.

"Shut up Azula and why would YOU even care, you're not usually like this. Just say what you came here for will you?" I say obviously annoyed.

"Fine if you really want to get rid of me, just go over there and spend some time with Mai, she has been a pain all day. She's actually sulking more than usual if that's even possible, so there." she says quickly.

"Azul-" I was cut off by her retreating form, what the heck, it's not like I don't like Mai, its just that I doubt I'm one of the people she would actually want to spend some time with.

As I start heading towards Mai, I see Katara and Sokka again, hmm… I wonder what they're doing, guess I'll have to figure that out later.

"Hey Mai, how're you today?" I say as enthusiastically as I can muster, which isn't that much at all.

"Huh-what, oh Zuko, what are you doing here? I notice the blush that crept up to her face, wonder why she's all red.

"I was just coming over to see how you were doing, is everything alright?" I try to say with just the right amount of concern.

"Yes everything's fine, I just need some alone time. I'm just having trouble with a certain someone that I don't feel comfortable talking to you about." She must've noticed how my face reacted to that comment because she quickly added, "it's a girl thing Zuko, you wouldn't understand, alright." as I glance away for a moment, I see Katara staring at me, I quickly glance back at Mai because she must've still thought that I was annoyed by her.

"Alright its ok, I'll just see you around then, bye Mai."

"Bye" she says almost audible.

Katara's POV

"Sokka this game is getting boring, I'm tried of acting this way, its just soooo-"

"Boring." Sokka says because he too was tired of this irritating game.

"Ok, so can we play an actual game now?" I ask

"Haha sure, but this just means I win 'cuz you quit, so woohoo! I win, haha" he says and then starts doing some stupid dance because he's Sokka. As I look away from his stupidity, I see Zuko with some gloomy girl. He then looks my way and all of a sudden, I couldn't move, it was like I was stunned from that one glance, like time had just stopped and it was just me and Zuko. When he finally looks away, which felt like it took forever, I hear Sokka saying something.

"Katara, so what game did you want to play?" he asks unaware of my reaction to Zuko's stare.

"Actually I wanted to tell you that I won the game, I just asked if we could play another game, I didn't really act idiotic or anything, however, you just did, so that means I win." He stared at me dumbstruck, his mouth hanging open, it was a hilarious sight.

"But wait that doesn't count because I didn't know." he says trying to get back in the game.

"Actually it does count, but seeing as I am a good sister, I will give you another chance." I say that only because the reason why I wanted to do this in the first place was to show Zuko that we too could be civilize like him.

"Man, now we have to act weird again, I hate talking to people like this, its no fun at all."

"Fine lets just go talk to Zuko then we can both quit." I say quickly because I didn't want him to think about it.

"Alright cool, but wait Katara why Zu-." That's all I hear as he became out of earshot. My heart was racing, I couldn't believe I was finally going to talk to Zuko, but then somebody stands in front of me. He seemed to be around my age, was bald, and had the cutest gray colored eyes I have ever seen.

"Hi my name is Aang and you must be Katara, am I right?" he says so innocently that Zuko could wait.

"Why yes, my name is Katara, hehe" I bow. "What-" that's all I get to say as I was interrupted by my brother who finally catches up to me.

"Katara, why'd you ditch me, I thought we were going to talk to Zuko?" he says with out much breath left.

"I was but then I met Aang and he's… well I don't know much about him because of your interruption." I say slightly aggravated.

"Sorry, my name's Sokka, where are you from." he says.

"My name's Aang and I'm an air bender. I live in the Southern Air Temple and my guardian is Monk Gyatso."

"Cool well, we'll see ya around, we gotta do something really quick so that we can stop playing this stupid game." Sokka says

"Talk to you later Aang, bye!" I yell as I start running towards Zuko again, but the problem this time is that I couldn't see him anymore, he must've move somewhere. Then I get an idea in my head.

"Sokka, this is how we'll see who wins, whoever acts proper in front of Zuko first will win, ok."

"Oh yeah, you didn't answer my question yet, why Zuko?" he says confused

"I don't know, I guess it's because he's the one who we got the idea from, that's why." I say not really telling him that I just wanted to impress Zuko for some reason, I don't even know that for myself yet as a matter of fact.

"Ok, fine, whoever finds him first basically wins." I say already wanting to end this game once and for all.

"Alright, one, two , three!" and we both start running. It takes a few minutes but I finally see Zuko and Sokka is nowhere to be seen, haha I win, I say in my head.

"Hey Zuko, how's everything with you?" I ask obviously curious.

"Fine I guess, I was just trying to hide from people, I hate greeting people." he says with a pout that I giggle.

"What are you laughing at?" he asks since he heard my giggle. "The face you just made was so adorable, haha" I say as he blushes at the comment, and just then some music can be heard. I thought he was going to ask me to dance because he bowed but that was just to fix his boots, I face-palmed myself in my head.

"Hey Zuko, what country are you a prince for anyway?" I say to break the silence that filled between us.

"Oh I'm the prince of the Fire Nation." he says nonchalantly.

I stare at him with my mouth hanging open, I thought he was just a prince for a little country and I find out that he's actually a prince of an entire nation, I feel like I should bow down to him or something.

"Is something wrong?" he asks slightly worried by me reaction. "You're the princess of the Southern Water Tribe right, so I don't see the big deal with me being of the Fire Nation."

"But if you actually compare the size, there's a BIG difference." I say emphasizing the word 'big'

"So-" he gets cut-off by a couple of girls who just pushed the gloomy girl Zuko was with earlier in front of him.

"Zuko, can I ask you something?" she says hesitantly.

"Umm… ok, Katara, I guess I'll talk to you next time then, bye." and then he bows again and leaves. I don't know why but I feel hurt right now. I think I should ask my mom what is happening to me.

Author's Note:

Sorry I know its bad again, its so weird, when I first started writing this, I had absolutely no homework at all, but then the day after I posted the first chapter, a mountain of homework literally came my way but its all gone now, I finally finished all of them even the ones due next week. Sorry again, I'm really not happy with this chapter at all, I just wanted to post something because it kind of has been a while.

Oh and have you guys heard who's playing Zuko for the Avatar Movie, its Jesse McCartney! I cant believe what that M. Night dude is doing. How do you guys feel about this, I'm just shocked, the link is on my profile.

Oh and as usual criticism, suggestions, and questions are welcomed. Review if you want ^-^
