Chapter 7: Love makes life perfect

One by one all the kids gave Ria the information she wanted and then the six of us (Ria, Aang, Toph, Sokka, Zuko and me) introduced our selves and started the tour around the temple. The first places we went to were the bedrooms. The kids picked out there beds laid out their stuff if they had any and just got to know the people they were probably going to spend the rest of their lives with.

Next we went to the practice area.

"This is where you will practice your air bending," Ria explained. One of the boys raised his hand.

"Yes, ah," Ria stuttered.

"Lee," the boy said, "my names Lee."

"Okay then Lee,"

"None of us know air bending," Lee said looking at the others and there were several nodes.

"Oh, that," Ria said with a chuckle, "The older kids will teach you."

She smiled at him and our tour continued to the recreational area of the temple.

The rest of the day went by no different then usual. It was the same old boring routine. However the night had a twist to it I wasn't expecting. I was sitting on my bed going through mental memories of the past few months when I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in," I shouted and the door slowly creaked open. Zuko walked in with a smile on his face.

"Hey," I said smiling back at him.

"Hey," he said looking into my eyes, "You know something. Your eyes are my sky and my ocean. Blue and beautiful."

"Thanks," I said. Those words touched my heart.

He sat down next to me and leveled our eyes. I knew this message a little to well to not know what it meant. I tilted my head and kissed him. We began to make out.

That's when it got kind of physical. I don't exactly remember how our clothes popped off, but it did and pretty quickly too. Zuko had turned off all the light and the only light that me had was the moonlight that was coming through the window. My heart beat very fast in my chest. My bare oily skin was against his pale, smooth skin. His hand brushed down my shoulder and to my hip. Then he brushed it across my chest. We both broke out in sweat. Even the air was cool, I felt extremely hot, burning even. I could feel his heavy muscular body against my light, skinny body. My eyes grew droopy for the longer it lasted. 5 minutes, 10, 30, an hour. I don't remember how I fell asleep, but this time it lasted long and that was the important part.

(End of Lemon scene)

I had a weird dream that night. I was standing in big, dark, cold room holding Zuko's hand and suddenly my dad appeared out of nowhere. He looked into my eyes with sadness.

"I love you, Katara," he said, "and nothing will ever change that. But sometimes there are things you do that you should regret. And you don't realize you regret it until it's to late. I promise I won't be mad at you, but remember my words to you."
