Sorry this is late and short, but I had a schedule for this or the summer: an update every Monday! Woop!

Also I started my first big girl job! Que maturity and adulthood!

... Yeah?...

Also I just realized I had Toph with Aang and Katara, I AM SO SORRY!

SHE IS WITH AANG ONLY!

She is not with Suki or Katara.

"Hey, you alright?" Zuko asked as he came across Katara fiercely water bending in a secluded courtyard.

"Peachy." She muttered darkly as she through ice spears at the offending tree.

"The tree would disagree." Zuko smirked. His amusement only increased when she glared at him.

"It's that Loggen-soake!" She sighed.

"What now?" Zuko asked, understanding. The son of the Northern water tribe's diplomat, Loggen was pretty much the stereotypical rich boy with life handed to him on a silver platter with all the arrogance that goes with it. Basically everything that pissed of the group of friends.

But since he, as well as some of the other children, were of the same age they thought themselves as being on the same level as Katara, Zuko, Suki, and Toph. It made the four angry to even think about it! The only thing they had in common was their ages. None of them could ever consider themselves on the level as a Water bending master and princess, the greatest earth bender ever and head of the Di-lee, a weapons master head of the Kyoshi Warriors and a general, and a fire bending master and fire lord.

"The ass hole purposed to me." She muttered darkly.

"And he's dead now?" Zuko asked. Over the course of the past several months he had come to learn about how back word the water tribe was and how much Katara hated their customs.

"Unfortunately he still breaths." Katara said darkly. "He had it in his head that we are 'of the same rank and would benefit from a mutual attraction growing between us' or something."

"Man you've gone soft is he's still alive." Zuko couldn't help but laugh.

"It's not funny." Katara pouted, but the corner of her lips turned up despite herself.

"Well, just let them all know you and the Avatar are still going strong." Zuko smiled, a small sadness crossing his eyes in such a quick moment Katara thought she imagined it.

"Apparently not seeing him for two months makes me free game." She glowered.

"What's wrong?" He asked as the sat down on the cool grass. "Talk to me."

"I don't want to annoy you." She smiled sadly.

"You won't!" Zuko laughed. "Suki's not here and you don't have Toph to beat it out of you, so it falls to me." Over the last two months Suki and Katara had become very busy with the school and rarely saw each other with their different areas of teaching

"Fine." Katara laughed before turning serious. "We've been fighting. About little random things, but still. And we send hawks less and less. It feels like we're drifting apart."

"We're all busy." Zuko pointed out.

"I still manage to talk to Sokka or Toph every other day." Katara pointed out. "And Suki and Sokka talk daily."

"But they are disgustingly cute." Zuko laughed and Katara smirked.

"True." She sighed. They sat their comfortably for a few moments before she sighed yet again. "Thanks."

"For what?" Zuko asked.

"For just being here with me." She smiled at him. Their hands intertwined and they hugged. It lasted longer than was probably proper, but they eventually pulled away. "You're a good friend."

"Happy to be."
