Chapter 3
Zuko was walking in the royal courtyard, when a familiar object caught is attention. Although it was broken, he still recognized it.
Katara's necklace.
Zuko took it into the place and began repairing it.
"Hmm..." Zuko thought "Needs a new collar"
Zuko took a piece of Fire Nation red leather and measured it so that it'll fit on Katara, unfastened the pendent from the old one and placed it on the new strand of leather.
He added a fastener to the ends of the leather strand.
"Perfect"
He then asked someone to invite Katara to the Southern Garden.
The Fire Lord smiled as he placed the necklace in a silk bag.
He met the young Water Tribe woman in the garden.
"Zuko?" Katara asked "Why did you invite me here? Just because we are both the last in our family lines isn't a good enough excuse!"
"Here," he handed her the bag before running inside....
"What!" Katara cried "Zuko!" she then opened the bag "ohh, my necklace, he...he fixed it"
She ran her fingers over the carving before remembering something, sighing, she sat down,
If there's a prize for rotten judgment,
I guess I've already won that
No man is worth the aggravation
The Spirits of Song appeared just at that moment to hear her cry,
That's ancient history,
Been there
Done that!
The Spirits had a plan with Sokka, Aang and Iroh to try and get Katara say she's in love with Zuko,
Who'd ya think you're kidding?
He's the earth and heaven to ya
Try to keep it hidden, honey we can see right through ya
Girl ya can't conceal it
We know how you're feelin', who you're thinking of
Katara shook her head, denying this feeling for Zuko
Ooooh
No chance, no way, I won't say it, no! No!
The Spirits swung, telling her how she acted around Zuko since the battle
You swoon, you sigh
Why deny it, uh oh
Katara made an excuse to why she can't love Zuko,
It's too...cliché
I won't say I'm in love
(Oooooh ooooh oooh)
She remembered Jet, how it might be like that for her and Zuko,
I thought my heart had learned its lesson
It feels so good when ya start out
My head is screaming "get a grip, girl!"
"Unless you're dying to cry your heart out!"
Ooooh oooh
These spirits won't give up until she admits it,
You keep on denying
Who you are and how you're feelin'
Baby, we're not lying, hon we saw ya hit the ceilin'
Face it like a grown up
When ya gonna own up that ya got, got, got it bad?
Katara kept on denying it, but she smiled when she suddenly thought of Zuko,
Woah
No chance, no way, I won't say it, no! No!
Spirits noticed her grin and told her that that size of a grin, proved she was in love,
Give up, or give in
Check the grin, you're in love!
Katara got up and lied that she can't picture her and Zuko together,
This scene won't play
I won't say I'm in love
The sprits told her to listen to hear that she's in love
You're doing it
Read our lips you're in love!
Katara told the 'voices in her head' that they don't have it strait,
You're way off base
I won't say it
The sprits shook their heads with a grin,
She won't say it no
Katara yelled at the spirits for being on her; sitting down with her arms crossed,
Get off my case
I won't say it
The spirits relived themselves to Katara and Kangen sat next to Katara,
Girl, don't be proud, it's ok, you're in love
Katara then looked at her necklace and finally stopped denying it,
Ooooooh
At least out loud
I won't say I'm in....love
Kangen then stood next to the Benzaiten and Ongaku, vanishing to the Spirit World
Sha la la la la la...
They sighed as they returned to the Spirit World and saw the faces of Aang, Sokka and Iroh.
"One down, one to go!"
