AN: Hmm... ok. I wrote a story, like, a year ago and updated it today... on anothers profile. My sisters. Wow, life sure can be strange.

Chapter 4...

But it's better if we do...

Katara woke up late into the night. She'd guessed it around 3. She was freezing, and wanted to go in search of another blanket. It was night of day 2 and day of day 3 on her escape, (or capture) with Zuko. She had fallen asleep in the F.N.S. outfit (reference to chapter 3). No wonder she was freezing! She wrapped the small red blanket around her and went over to the dresser and pulled on a sleeping robe. Once again, this just SCREAMED Zuko's doing. It was red, wrapped around the shoulders, and went to her thigh. At least it covered everything else.

She stepped out into the cold ship hallway, not suprised her door was unlocked. She tried as hard as possible not to make any noise against the cold, metal floors as she crept along the hallway. She opened every cabinet, door, and nookie of the place and couldn't find ANYTHING! Just as she about gave up hope, she looked in an open door, revealing a sleeping Prince Zuko and an abundance of blankets.

She opened the door a little, and almost had a seizure when it squealed. She rolled her eyes, but slid though the small crack of the frame. She tiptoed to the bed, but knew it wasn't the best idea to pull one off. She may be a water bender, but she was no houdini. She couldn't pull tablecloths of of a table without anything crashing to the floor. She looked around, but found it extremely difficult to see. Only a few small oil lamps were lit on the nightstands. Shivering, she began walking toward the door, about to give up. Unfortunately, her footing wasn't the greatest as she slipped over a red, silk blanket that hung over the bed.

"OOF!" She landed on all her hands, her feet intertwined with eachother. Quickly realizing the noise she had made, she looked around. She saw and heard nothing. "Whoo!" She wiped her forehead. She began to lift herself up when she heard a voice behind her.

"You know, if you need something you could just ask." Chucked the 'supposed to be sleeping' Prince. "Or if you want something." He added. It was dark in the room, but she could still see the seductive glare in his eye. He helped her up and looked at her. She blushed madly. 'Well at least everything in this room has a red glare, my cheeks are no exeption.'

"Yeah, actually I was wondering if you had any spare blankets. It's freezing in that room." Realizing how sisterly she sounded, she quickly added, "Anything at all to keep me warm would be nice though." Apparently catching her drift, he sat on the bed.

"Your welcome to stay in here. They blankets stay in here though. As does everything else, if you get what I mean." He tilted his head. Now that she could see him, he had a NICE ass body. He had a 6/8 pack. Only one word described it. DAMN. Noticing her staring, he laughed. "You like what you see? Looking's for free, but just for you, so is touching." How was he so good at this? It drove her mad! Initiating mission; step up.

"Really,..." She walked toward him and sat down by him. She ran her finger down his chest. He smirked at her, knowing she couldn't resist it. Once she reached the bottom, she removed her hand. Now he was in HER hands. He looked at her longingly. She smirked at him as she got up and walked over to the other side of the bed and laid down, one knee up, the other down. He too walked over to his side of the bed and laid down. He turned to face her. She knew he was looking at her and she longed to face him, but she had to deprive him for now. After 15 seconds she finally turned her face to his and smiled at him.

'You won't win this time.' He thought to himself. He beckoned her with his finger. Obeying, she scooted closer to him. He sat on his side and she on her back, giving him the advantage. He leaned closer to her, little by little. Eventually their lips finally met. 10 seconds, 15, 20, 25, 30. Time in seconds seemed like hours and their lips met. He could feel her gasping for air, but not pulling away. He could hold his breath abnormally long, therefor he knew he'd win. She finally pulled away, gasping.

"It gives a whole meaning to leaving you breathless, doesn't it." He couldn't spare the cocky remark. She only smiled. Shortly, she fell asleep. He stared at her. Slowly he came into realization, he was in lovc. It wasn't just a game to him anymore. He wasn't sure it ever was. He had always denied his feelings for her. He couldn't any longer. He always thought that he would hate being in love. Feeling that emotional and having that one person have that much control over him. He always feared it. But it was the most wonderful thing her had ever felt before. He didn't mind it being Katara either. He always thought that he'd be destined to marry Mai, and that there was nothing he could do about it. He knew she had a huge crush on him, even after his banishment. But he didn't care for her at all like he did Katara. He loved her and he hoped she loved him back. After a while, he too fell asleep, dreaming happily for once in his life.

Iroh entered a large room, filled with earth, fire, and water benders. As he walked to the front of the room, everyone fell silent.

We all came here for one reason... ZHANG ZHOL'S FAMOUS TEA!" Giggles and chuckles could be heard across the room. "Ok, two reasons. The fire lord Ozai must be stopped! The tyranny had lasted over a century now. It is getting old. Countless numbers of people have died in this war, and I won't stand for anymore. We have almost lost an element! Air! The only remaining airbender is the Avatar! He will be the delegate for Air. But I came here for one other reason. Proof, that Ozai will be defeated. How long has it been since two different elements fell in love?" No one spoke. "Thats right. No one knows. Until now. I have proof, that total opposites can love one another. Not only are they different elements, but polar classes. I give you, water and fire. Prince and peasant!" Noise erupted from around the room. Some clapped, others claimed he was lying.

"As if that isn't enough, they are enemies! Well not anymore. A fire prince and a water maiden have fallen in love. Not just any water and fire pupils either. The banished Prince Zuko and Avatars assistant Katara!" Gasps and other noise of disbelief echoed across the room. "And if you don't believe me, you will follow me to the port this coming friday and see for yourselves. You havc 2 days to be ready. And if you don't mind, buy some tea and bring it with you. Please?"
