She couldn't wait. Katara's exitement was no match to everyone els's. The Fire Nation Mask Festival was coming up, and that ment they had to go to the warmest country on earth, it was much better than that frozen iceberg Katara called home.

"It's so hot!" Aang whined. Katara let out a long sigh, 3 years after the war and the young avatar still hasn't matured.

"Just go into the water to cool off or something." Sokka waved him off.

The whole Gang thang gone to a beach in the earth kingdom, right above where Jet had died after Long Feng had earth-bended his sorry-butt to hell.

"Nooooo, too hot to move."

That was when Katara lost it.

"AANG! YOU GET YOUR BUTT INTO THAT WATER RIGHT NOW OR I'LL-"

Something brushed against her leg. Katara bent over to pick it up. 'A mask!'

she thought to herself. 'It's so beautiful! I'm SO gonna wear this to the festival.'

Little did the waterbender know, that this was none other that the blue spirit's mask.

Zuko smirked as he jumped out the palace window. He was gonna sneak out for his faveorate festival of the year, The Fire Nation Mask Festival. 'I wonder if anyones gonna ome as the blue spirit,' he thought with a chuckle. He had special face paint on so no one would recognize him as the Fire Lord, he wore casual clothing too.(Every ones wearing, "The Invasion" clothing and hair styles, well exept Aang, lol.)

What suprised Zuko next was for him to see his old mask go flying through the air.

Katara was enjoying the festival, but that was untill she got bumped by someone, her mask went flying through the air! She bended out a stream of water to catch it, but it ended up splashing someone in the face.

Zuko stood there, soaking wet. "What the-" That's when he noticed that his face paint had come off, and his scar came into veiw.

"Sir, I'm so sor-Zuko?"

"Katara?"

It hit them like a block of wood. (.jk.)

"Katara!"

"Zuko!"

'Wait... what?' "What are YOU doing here?" they said in unision as Katara lept into his talked for the rest of the night untill...

"Zuko?"

"Yes?"

"You do realize can let go of me now."

That's when the embarrassed fellow blushed. But a thought struck him.

"What if I don't want to?" He purred into her ear with the most smug look on his face.

Katara's blush increased.

'It's amazing what one mask can do.' Zuko thought to himself as he placed a light peck upon her nose.
