Ok now that we've set down the base time to have a bit of fun before all the drama and action starts. By the way I'd like to thank all of you who reviewed and I don't own Avatar or else Aang would have stayed bald or been a blonde also there would be no debate Zutara would have been a sure thing.
So things fell into a rut, not a boring rut but more of a fun filled rut. Zuko and Toph ended up becoming really close like brother and sister. Of course since Aang and Toph were best friends if Toph liked Zuko Aang liked Zuko. Sokka and Suki soon started sparing together with Toph joining in once in a while to kick Sokka's ass as she put it. I had a feeling that Sokka confided everything in Suki this feeling only doubled when they started dating. Zuko and I began light arguments which always somehow ended up in me laughing while Zuko stopped scowling. I had a feeling that the gothic girl in ballroom dancing had a crush on Zuko. I later found out that she was a friend of Azula's aka princess of the school. Yep everything was great until Sokka ran into my room one morning yelling.
"Sokka, Sokka calm down." I really hoped he wasn't sick. "What's wrong?"
"WHAT'S WRONG?! WHAT'S WRONG?!" His eyes were huge 'uh-oh'. "Katara there are a bunch of man eating Platypus bears right behind you!"
"Riiigghht." He was sick. "Come on Sokka let's lay you down where the Platypus Bears can't hurt you."
So I took him back to his room to find Gran-gran already there. It was then that I remembered that I wouldn't have to take care of him. Back in Afghanistan it was always left to me to make sure that Sokka didn't hurt himself while he was delirious. Nobody really knew what caused him to go crazy when he was sick but then again no doctor ever got close enough to find out.
I got dressed washed my face then headed outside to meet Zuko. I was early without Sokka so I had to knock on the door. Iroh answered it.
"Hello Miss Katara where is your brother?" I always thought Iroh and Zuko made an ironic pair.
"He's sick. Just me today," I told him smiling at the thought of future blackmail.
"Oh well I'll go tell my nephew." At that he left and two seconds later the garage opened. I walked over to greet Zuko and instead saw a giddy smiling boy that looked remarkably like Zuko.
Zuko's giddy twin came over to me and began to push me to the middle of the garage where a black and chrome motorcycle gleamed. "Katara meet my baby!"
"Uh have you seen Zuko he looks exactly like you but is always frowning and scowling, likes to call me witch," I asked uncertaintly to which he laughed and got on the bike. I reluctantly got on behind him pulling on the helmet he handed me. He revved the engine a couple times before speeding out of the garage me holding on to him as tight as possible. I swear to this day that he took a few extra turns. While we were pulled up to intersection some man in the car next to us shouted out at Zuko, "You lucky bastard the bike and a chick to match! Trade you places."
The light turned green and Zuko sped off before I could even deny what that man had just implied. When we finally pulled up to the school Aang and Toph were walking up. "Hey Katara! Hi Zuko," Aang said, was it me or did he sound a bit less excited to see Zuko.
"Wattup you two where's Sokka?" Toph asked.
"He's sick. Trust me you don't want to be near him when he's sick, well not without a video camera at least."
"Uh Katara?" Aang looked a bit weirded out.
"Yes?" I responded.
"Why's Zuko bouncing?" I looked at Zuko and sure enough he was bouncing on the balls of his feet a dangerous grin on his face.
"Yeah Katara," Toph added "what'd you do to him?"
"Pure adrenaline Baldy," Zuko answered ignoring Aang's protests to the new nickname.
"Why are you calling Aang Baldy?" Toph asked.
"Cuase he's bald," I answered slowly. In response Toph reached over and felt Aang's head.
"Um Toph, how did you not know this?" Zuko asked beginning to return to normal.
"Uh duh I'm blind."
"Really?!"
"You are?!"
"DUDES SHUT-UP!!" She dropped her voice to a whisper. "I don't want anyone to know because they'll start thinkin I'm weak and try to help me with everything."
"Oh don't worry Toph," a silky voice said "I won't tell a soul." We all turned to see Azula looking as smug as ever.
Everybody knew by the time we got out of first period. This made math very interesting for everybody tried to read Toph's paper for her. They finally backed off when Toph reminded them she had beat coach Boulder at wrestling. By the end of third period Toph had sent five kids to the Nurse's office.
--I am a Line (but I can become a muffin) --
I couldn't help but feel the stares I received all through-out the day truthfully I had been getting them since my first day of school but for some reason it bugged me now more than ever. 'Zuko will know why.'
"Hey Zuko what's the deal with this place, everybody stares at me when I walk by." I placed my books down on the desk and looked up at him.
"Well for one you are one of the best musicians in the school which gives you allot of power…." He opened his mouth to continue but I cut him off.
"Really, how so?"
"You probably haven't noticed but this school is very music oriented. If two students get into an argument they must play for the S.J. or Student Judges. Whoever plays better wins the argument." He paused to make sure I understood before answering my earlier question. "Two you're hanging out with the Gaang started by Aang it has a person from every group besides the populars. Third you hang out with me and that in it's self is odd."
"Why," I asked playfully "All powerful Zuko can't have any friends?"
In response he sat straighter and struck a strong pose before stating in his most pompous voice, "No especially not one as low as yourself."
Everybody continued to stare as I broke out laughing and Zuko smirked.
Dude I just had to include a happy Zuko. By the way if anyone noticed my little Haru slip up then don't worry from this day forth It will be Kuzon and Teo instead of Haru and Teo.
