It's Zuko Against the World!: Chapter 3


Katara skillfully climbed out of Zuko's room through the window, trying not to touch anything she didn't have to. Obviously, the fire lord didn't take advantage of the royal palace cleaner.

She landed on the ground lightly, calling up to Zuko. "Ok! I'm out!" She whispered. "Throw down the stuff!"

Zuko threw their belongings out of the window so fast Katara couldn't catch both of them. So without a second thought, she let Zuko's comforter hit the ground.

"Got it!" She whispered again. "Come on out." She received no answer. "Zuko!" She called, louder. She heard a crash from his room.

"It's okay! Everything's alright!" Zuko called down. "I just fell over a chair!"

"Zuko you are a smooth smooth." Zuko heard a voice say. He recognized the voice as Montana's. I know what you're thinking, LeopardBeagles can't talk. This is all in Zuko's head.

"ZUKO BEAR TAKE YOUR TIME!" Katara whisper- yelled.

That's when Zuko stopped dead in his tracks. Mai never told him to take his time. Finally, Zuko got up from the chair catastrophe and walked to the window. He looked down and saw Katara sitting with a flower chanting "he loves me, he loves me not." She cheated halfway through because she then noticed that it was going to end on "he loves me not." What a weirdo.

Zuko decided to show off for his new "girlfriend". He jumped out the window and was about to shoot out a firebolt, when he noticed that there was a spider on his window. He ended up falling on his face screaming like a little girl. Very sexy.

"Zuko bear?" said Katara. UGH.

"Shut up. Sweetheart, let's leave."

He stopped and looked at his things on the ground. "You just let them fall? Come on, Katara. You could have at least picked them up."

"Well sorry. I was a little worried about the crash I heard."She replied.

"Yeah. About that." He walked back to a tree underneath his window, and to Katara's amazement, climbed up it with ease. He tiptoed sexily on a branch that was close to the window they jumped out of and pointed two fingers into his room. He took a deep breath of the humid fire air and shot a blast of lightning towards the chair that caused his so much discomfort over the past few weeks. It hit it straight on, and started smoking.

Zuko simply thrusted his fists in the air, victoriously. Suddenly, the branch Zuko was on cracked and sent Zuko spiraling towards the ground. He hit the stone with a loud thump. He stood up, looked at Katara, and said "It was worth it."


They began walking in downtown Fire Nation Capital. Katara had never been there at night. She felt kind of out of place so she took off her coat revealing her tee shirt with the fire nation symbol and her red sweat pants that said I HEART FIRE NATION across the butt. Zuko noticed her wardrobe change and became incredibly embarrassed. First, where did she get the clothes, second does she honestly think she fits in now?

There was a tavern fight going on and a burning man came flying out of the bar. Katara using her natural instincts quickly drenched the man in water. A crowd of people crowded around her and started yelling.

Zuko was even madder than he was before.

"Oh my gosh Katara! Why are you like that?" Zuko yelled and then tugged on the rope that was around his waist that was attached to Appa who was in the sky.

He grabbed onto Katara as Appa lifted them away from the yelling crowd and into the air.

"He had it under control, Sugarlips. He was a firebender." Zuko said, looking at his fake girlfriend.

"I know! You're right! It's just all my life, I've been taught how terrible fires are, how they'll burn you until you're black and then you die. And how firebenders are just as bad as their element. I was told to stay away from them." Katara answered, looking down.

Zuko was hurt. "Well maybe I should just drop you. It would be a whole lot easier for me! I wanted to do this alone, but you just had to come along, didn't you? And now you're being all jerky." Zuko let go of Katara and laughed evilly as she hurtled towards the ground.

It was a very short laugh as they were only a foot from the ground. Katara landed and the crowd shuffled over to surround her again. Zuko didn't even think twice about dropping her, he was proud. Then he heard it. The familiar sound of Katara's annoying voice.

"THE FIRE LORD IS THE ONE WHO ASKED ME OUT!" she yelled. The crowd turned and immediately began throwing rocks at Zuko. They booed and the veins in their foreheads popped out. It was gross. Zuko looked over and saw Katara crying in the teardrop that was resting in the corner of her eye Zuko saw his reflection. He was reminded of the good old days….

Finally, he convinced Appa to turn around and he went to pick up his ailing "girlfriend."

When he lifted her up into his arms, he whispered in her ear "I hate you so much…"

Zuko was somehow able to climb onto Appa's back with Katara hanging on him like a spider monkey. They sat as far away from each other as possible.

Katara was the one to break the silence. "Thank you. For saving me. Even though you did drop me in the first place."

"Don't mention it." Was all he said.
